After an unsuccessful attempt to start from were we stopped, I've decided to start all over. Perhaps it can start up again. It is a little different from the old version
The world, history, and the lot
In the year 2335, technology was at it's height. Every house was run by thousands of programs, even the ones owned by the poor. The stock market was also at its height. Buying and selling was a get-rich-quick thing that really worked. And even if you where just a humble working person, you had a steady income of at least $100,000 a year. But people has for gotten that these good times might not last.
In 2339, a unknown country with an equally unknown bomb attacked the state of New Mexico. 90% of the population died as soon as the bomb hit the ground. 50% of the remaining died within a day after the impact.
The remaining people, mostly that of far north and far south, moved out of the country with whatever they had left.
A week after this, 9 other states had been bombed, including Texas, Alaska, Utah, Maryland, and New York. Including the few who lived to tell the tale, 80% of the population of the U.S.A had left the country. The once strong country was now a waste land with few people in it.
Then the people running this bomb tired of this country, and moved on the China and Russia. Soon, only 25% of the worlds population remained, only a fourth of its former glory of 4 billion.
And all people gathered to the same place: Antarctica.
On December 7th, 2340, at least five of these bombs where dropped on Antarctica. Around 20% of the remaining population was killed, and at least 65% of what had been ice melted. The remaining knew the had to band together if the human race was to survive. And so, the New Era began, leaving the A.Ds behind.
So the world began to live again. The children played, and the old people where cared for. The technology was of that of about 2025.
Then, in 2360, a strange discover was made. In a effort to find more of the once great planet of Earth, people began digging around. Then, a odd discover was made in Texas. The remains of a lab, with not only computers that seemed unharmed, but also a few people, living off what they could find after being nearly crushed. But they could not remember anything, except about “The children.”
These “children” turned out to be some sealed children, frozen in ice. Unfreezing them, and using the technology of raising a baby out side of its mother, they began to grow.
But these children where strange. Some looked like mermaids, and others had dog ears. Tests where made, and they seemed to have 10% of one animals or another's DNA. No one knew how these children developed, but they knew that these where amazing children. Named Anoku(An-u-co) they became a part of life.
Now, in 2440, these people are a normal sight. Able to communicate with the animals they are from, along with being able to survive in the conditions of the places said animals come from, they are a little scary.
The people have become a close-knit community, all providing for each other. The whole world is one government, no countrys.There are few stores, most is bought in the market. Many people live a life of sailing, as the world is now a bunch of Islands
Today is the a special day. It is the anniversary of the discovery of the Anoku. All schools are closed, all shops are open. We all live around the "Southwest strip," or rather, rennets of the south west states. Each year, many people gather to the capital, Geara, to celebrate holidays. Humans and Anoku go to the same schools as humans, perform the same tasks as humans, and are treated the same as humans. However, studies show that Anoku are more porn to being bullied and teased then humans. This is where our story starts
