## Maps

Imagine the current world 1000 years from now, where the bombs have fell and mutations grew across the globe, causing many new species to pop in the open that drew power from the harsh wastes. Humans were the rarity and many intelligent species reigned supreme? That's the Wasting Wilds, a nuclear apocalypse-turned fantasy world. Many who want to make quick coin either scavenge the Funkyard, steal from people, or sign up to be adventurers for a guild as violence is common amongst this place. There are those who try to bring law and order to this chaotic landscape, The Royalty, Tobias North and the NER being the main three factions fighting for power

### History

#### Before the Javelins

In the late 2020s, German Scientist Dr. Otto Kötz invented many revolutionary technologies that are currently known to the Wilds as Old World Technology. Stuff includes Power Armors, Nuclear Power Devices, Laser Guns, but most noticeably the Javelins of Light. They ran on Catalysts, or what he called them "**Überprocessors."** And they were essentially nukes that could travel faster than the Speed of Light, which is why they were called the Javelins of Light, because nobody knew that they hit before they did. What caused the Javelins of Light to detonate was lost to time, but one thing's for sure, the world was never the same afterwards.

#### Post-Javelins

These were the darkest times of the Wasting Wilds, barely any life was left on the planet. But the humans who survived were said to have done so under the bunkers of an organized cult known as the Null Division, lead by former Kötz Enterprises engineer David Schulz, who at the time took the form of a robotic monk who dubbed himself Vaiddx.

#### Pre-Heroes Era

A society was born from both the new and the old, mostly the new. Many were naturally capable of Magic, and flaunting it like no one's business. 'Where did this come from?' Humans wondered, and they learned that not only that they can also cast magic, but their physical attributes were improved as well, They were stronger, faster, smarter, better than ever before. It was still a Wild West type vibe, everyone for themselves.. That is until

#### Heroes Era

Eric Eisner was born a natural prodigy, he made a Smith's Brand, made a Gummi Ship, travelled to Destiny Islands, trained under Kairi, and pioneered heroism to the masses when he came back. In those days, it felt like he was the authority, he was the one to pierce the Wilds to a new direction of peace and prosperity. He was the hype of the planet with his makeshift Resia Key and his army of Smith's Brand Wielders. No evil would be safe from Eric's badassery. There were rumors spread that Eric did some pretty questionable acts behind people's backs and some even called him manipulative, but those were just rumors and a handful of people.

#### Post-Heroes Era

Something happened between the Locksmith's Guild and the New European Republic, and suddenly, the new era of Keyblade-Wielders were gone. Tana died in Eric's hands and Eric vanished, never to be seen again. Now it's just a power struggle between three factions that most people hate. The Golden Claw Guild acted as a in-between for factions, as they took jobs from anyone willing to throw them a bone and some gold. But then... Darkness began consuming the world, and everyone in it, turning them into Heartless. It overran the Wasting Wilds... And now it's gone

### Factions

#### Guilds

##### The Locksmith's Guild

The first and most successful Guild in the Wasting Wilds, Guild Master Eric Eisner's charisma was unmatched, though he was a little manic, he lead the most successful business in the Wasting Wilds, even more successful than Tobias North's Gambling gig. Most of them wielded Smith's Brands, though some were strong hearted enough to receive natural Keyblades. They were the most powerful faction during the Heroes Era.

##### The Golden Claw Guild

The Golden Claw is a covert Guild, they do missions with low-profile and no questions asked, much like a band of mercenaries. They are known for their ruthlessness, rudeness, and shadiness. Nobody could deny their highly consistent efficiency however. Only the highest ranking mercs could touch a gun or a Smith's Brand

##### The Silver Gauntlet Guild

Discount Locksmith's Guild. They're known for their honesty and loyalty to their customers, but the pay was sub-par at best and the working conditions weren't great unless you were Guild Master. Most couldn't afford anything more than a dagger and some throwing darts. The King has endorsed them and supports them the best he can, even managed to find Eric's Gummi Ship for them, which is what allowed Blake, Knuckles and Dante to escape.

#### The Royalty

None of the Royal family are actually related to any royalty, but The King, Butch Mayweather had the charisma and charm to convince many that he was. The King rules over quite a large plot of land with many knights at his disposal, only problem is that they wield mostly swords and shields. He's also an Elvis Presley impersonator, it's quite bizarre. His men wear leather jackets over metal armor, there's often heat complaints. He was asexual, but wanted to uphold his linage, so he designed and programed a robot wife and 2 robot kids. Their names are Queen Citra, Princess Clementine, and Princess Tangerine

#### New European Republic

The NER seeks to restore the Wasting Wilds back to a government, just like before the Javelins. They believe that is what's best for the Wilds at the current state that it's in. Lot's of inhabitants of the Wilds have criticisms about the NER, like their useless currency, poor working conditions, passive racism and the fact that they like to hoard New World Technology from the masses. The NER is highly militaristic, brandishing Old World and New World weaponry. There are very little races that participate to the NER aside from humans due to their distrust of these races

#### Las Vegas Islands

Pretty much the entire planet got hit by Javelins, every last country and state got demolished. All but one city in the Nevada, that city being Las Vegas. In the Wasting Wilds, Las Vegas is now a set of islands unscathed by the Javelins, retaining the many buildings, landmarks, etc. And it's been owned by the wealthy North Family, currently Tobias North. While not as numbered as NER, Tobias has access to way more tech, old and new world. North runs a monopoly on the Wilds as well, everyone dumping their Dabloons in slot machines in hopes they catch a big break.
