Hiatus Announcement



O u r . S t o r y . B e g i n s . H e r e
No, this couldn’t be the right amount. He wouldn’t be responding this way if it was.
Or was it? How could he tell? There was no way to tell. He was the first to get
the drug, after all. Dr. Zachary Noble stomped his foot irritably and looked
angrily at the number and equations on the walls. The years of research
couldn’t cause him to suffer like this. What was going on? Had he done it wrong?
Another failed experiment, another dead body.

This irritated him. What was he doing wrong? Perhaps he wasn’t applying
enough mentaliphine, but 10 milliliters had to be enough. After all, what
else could he do, what could he replace it with?
Yes - Yes, this had to be right. This was the only option.

Turning toward the shivering subject on the lit operation table, Dr. Noble
regarded with rather disgust his pale appearance and long swooping bangs.
He couldn’t lose this one, not this time. Looking around, his hands
searched for another syringe and filled it with a sedative, and, taking a
breath, Dr. Noble stabbed it directly into the patient's neck.

Instantly he relaxed, and his heart beat stabilized. Nervously, the doctor
twitched and watched the screen that monitored the drug carefully.
Just a little bit further and it would be in the brain, just a bit more.
One, Two, Three, and - impact. Looking carefully down, he saw
the patient shiver a little, but otherwise he laid still.

Success.

Yes, this wouldn’t be a waste after all. Maybe they would succeed.
Maybe they could create a Dekkja after all; they needed more, not
just this one. Now, they needed time, which they had plenty of.

"Perhaps, if we remembered where we came from we would go crazy..."

"That gives them no right to take them away!"

"True, but I'd rather not know what lurks past those walls..."

We know the truth, we just don't face it.

Men, women, children and those who go rabid in the dirty environment they inhabit.
These are people who have come from the filth of the trash slums of New York and
the area around it to be tested in hopes to be admitted to the institute. Do they
come willingly? No, all are taken forcefully, memories wiped, tested, and hopefully
sent to the admissions office. If not, they are thrown back out, dull and dumb, all
alone in the world which they created with their hands. Yes - Civilis are
men and women just like ourselves, who live in a world barren of hope, rotted to
its very heart with hunger and pandemonium, and are stolen indiscriminately
from that world and brought to the institute.
There, they undergo various tests on their body to see if they are able to carry
a Dekkja.
The Civilis are your pets, your growing love of lost hope.

Call us "shadows."

Dark beings cowering in existence between life and death, manifestations of a drug
which, if injected into your body, creates this being. Some may call them demons,
but their true name is Dekkja, a shadow of its creator, or Civilis. Beings that feed
off your existence, your morals, the pure soul of their host. Some may drive you mad
with their invasion of your mind, some lust for blood, still others just want freedom.
However, in the end, all are tied to you, by an unbreakable bond. Through that bond you
live, train, hunt, and work for the institute. Be your choice voluntary or reluctant, you are
warned; a flicker of treachery means death. Live, and live well with these
inhuman beasts. Try to conquer them, but don't let them eat you alive.

O U R . W O R L D
"A wasteland of human efforts to gain power."

Torn and ravaged by the storms of the third world war, our planet now lies in shambles
and many places are lost amongst these shadows, hoping to rebuild their ruined lives.
No home was spared from the endless destruction, no city untouched by the lawlessness
that reigned. For now, the United Nations, an organization re-founded at the end of the
world war in 2037, seeks to maintain its social, political, and economical control over
the new American Republics while expanding its powers to surviving countries like
Europe, Asia, Russia, Italy, and many other who still live after the burning war.
Though AOI hosts the American Republics, made up of 4 main Republics, as its
main home, some may be sent elsewhere for missions in retrieving artifacts.

The four American Republics are: New York, Floridian, Okie, and the Orange
Republic. These four areas are all under the United Nations control and operate
with its "O.K." They are all rebuilding their capital cities in hopes of regaining a
social balance in the world before another war strikes out. Under the leadership
of one woman, Lillian Ford, the UN operates peacefully, and delicately under
her graceful working hands.


New York Republic
The Iron Republic
The NYR is a fully functioning Republic, and home to the shining United Nations
building. Though only the city inside the capital city's "walls" is in good shape, the
slums outside still operate on their own. Even as crime was cut, and education
advanced, many still remain migrants or runaways, hopping from one slum to the next in
hopes of a new start. Though called vagrants by the cops that patrol the slum
"streets," many of the NYR civilians don't complain much about their life and go
about it peacefully.


Floridian Republic
The Coastal Republic
Located in the Florida area, much of the FDR is a strong standing and highly
educated home of relaxation. The republic's more relaxed outlook has allowed
them to rebuild efficiently without the UN stepping in much to control them. Fully
functioning cities, complete with plumbing and electricity operate daily, in and out
of every season without much of an issue. It is also rumored that the FDR is
acting out of the UN's orders and beginning to break away towards
independence.


Okie Republic
The Southern Republic
OKER is a more "western" style republic if you hadn't guessed, with a strong
influence on agriculture and family aspects. The republic operates more as a
collective whole rather than one leading all others. It listens to the UN and
does what is ordered of them while maintaining their lifestyle. Work is
plentiful and land is good. Though travel is rare from the OKER, many
still do come through it in hopes of traveling west to the glorious
Orange Republic.


Orange Republic
The Diamond Republic
ORE is home to some of the finest fruit orchards, mining corporations and other
businesses which boom year round. Though the population is high these high
functioning cities are home of some of the richest in the American Republics.
Their homes are beautiful, the land abundant with fruit and the shores a shining
blue with the reflection of the morning sun.
Absolutely astounding.

"Surrounded by walls colored like ivory sand."

Surrounded by high walls, the Institute was constructed in 2054 by an unknown
architect and put under the control of a Doctor Zachary Noble. The large institute
is located in the far NE United States, in the previous location of the state of Maine.
With access granted to only a select few, many enter the institute, but few leave it.
Built with a completely operational environment, the large estate is worth millions,
and runs under the nose of the UN, funded by both it and a private funder, who
wishes things done his way.

Loaded with a completely operating city, the institute almost functions as an entity
of its own, feeding, producing, and living within itself without nearly any help from
the outside. Though the Institute's Academy is the star and prize of the place, where
the Civilis are taught and trained, the institute also features many other
things built amongst its walls.


AOI Main Labs

The main study center of the institution, the labs are located primarily by the main
entrance and are in a set of walls themselves. Though normally the only place
Dr. Zachary Noble is seen, the labs are perhaps a well kept secret of the institute
and few Civilis, or residence of Vale City, know of it's existence.

Forgiving Forest

A large forest located in the southern end of the institute that hides the rumored jail.
It is also a place where many animals grow freely and live their lives without much
interruption. Full of winding trails and interesting artifacts, the forest is an maze
worth adventuring if you want to risk your life in its grasp. Be warned; unless you
know the ways of the forest, once you enter, you will be trapped among its thorns.
Also home to Gale Lake.

Gale Lake

Located in the Forgiving Forest, the large lake got its name from the winds that
surround its shores nearly daily. Many creatures live in and around its clear shining
water, but few can truly say they have ever touched the pure water of gale lake,
without sacrificing something dear to them.

Blind-Man's Orchard&Garden

Stretched far along the eastern wall, this long orchard and garden plays host to the
institute's very food source. A blind man and a few other people tend to it daily and
harvest when the time is right, and with the help of institute's technology, they can
grow year round without an issue. With over fifteen green houses, two miles of
orchard and acres upon acres of plants, no one has ever matched the Blind-Man.

Vail City

A small city located outside the gates of the academy. The city is fully operational
and home to citizens of all ages and sizes. These people either work for the
institute in some way or are living by invitation and agreement to the operation's ideas.
Many families live amongst the cities attending schools of their own and living lives
the way normal people would outside the walls, only better and healthier.

AOI Academy

A stunningly built Academy, the shining walls reflect sunlight daily, but that is not
the institute's concern. With two training grounds centered on either side of the
main pathway on entrance, the large open academy is home to the Civilis and
their teachers. It is a very strict and rigorous training style camp that is used to
make the Civilis some of the most clever and disciplined individuals around. With
little care for their personal needs, the academy acts on its own, leaving them to
fulfill their more desirable wants. Filled with classes, teachers with some of the
highest standards, and a specially made curriculum, the Civilis will spend the first
two years here till his Dekkja separates, attending classes.

Civi Dorms

Four tall buildings located West of Vail City, they are the homes of the Civilis and
Dekkja alike. With rooms built for two, the three stories of dorms is a fully
operating and functional area for the Civilis to thrive. With mess halls, libraries, and
other areas, they aren't left without a single need met, except maybe
communication, which they will have to fulfill on their own.
