Ok, here, best Idea I've had in monthes.
(This RP was inspired loosely by Megaman, Star Ocean, Final Fantasy VII, Akira and whatever else is stuck in my twisted little mind.)
The last human date recorded was 2799. This date marked the third year of World War III. Human technology had reached its zenith, fantasies were realities, the humans had reached to the stars and more.
In this world, artificial AI had become so advanced, the only difference between machines, robots and androids and humans was what they were made out of. An android had served a term as President of The United Republic of America.
The world had paid the price of such radical technological achievement. Geographically, the world was splitting apart. California had already been blasted free of the mainland North America, and had formed its own nation, the Republic of California. The rest of the Western North American continant had suffered a wide-spread desertification, and with all the aquifers dried up, the Desert, as it was now called, was a place where no human could survive.
The Eastern North American Continent was a technological Mecca. A metropolic covered the land, a city beyond imagination, and beyond description, supposedly with buildings that stretched too high for the naked eye to see, and a massive tower that shot into orbit, constructed to reach the moon. However, as of the last recorded date of human history, this glorious metropolis was being destroyed by invading forces.
The invaders were the now unified European League, comprising what was left of Europe. In the year 2355, a mis-directed test of a Sattelite-based laser annihilated most of the Antarctic Ice Sheet, and the Continent of Europe had been mostly flooded. The surviving nations decided to embrace the flooding, and constructed giant underwater cities, Neo-Atlantis being the largest of them all. They declared war on the United Republic after a botched weapons test obliterated the last vestige of African rainforest. They crosses the two massive bridges that now span the Atlantic, built 15 years prior to commemorate a century-long peace.
Russia is nothing more then a nuclear, washed-out wasteland, unfit for anything useful to reside there. Asia is now the world's superpower, led by China in terms of weapons development, resources and economy. Japan was no longer natural islands, but instead a massive, moving fortress that can easily hold the massive population that their native homeland had trouble supporting.
However, this future world was at war with each other, a terrible war that ravaged whole nations. It looked grim for everyone, but in the year 2799, on the eve of the New Year, history was annhilated.
Every record of human activity stopped at that point...and so, it seemed, did almost every human. Nobody knows what happened, but humanity was practically annhilated, and the small groups left have officially declared themselves "endangered."
In the wake of the humans' disappearence, were left Androis, Robots and other machines. Now, an unclear number of years later, they rule the planet, with minds as complicated as their creators, and with bodies more dangerous. An organized chaos grips the world, and these machines now rule over what the humans left behind.
(Your character)
You are an Android, highly advanced. You are part of one of two factions, one that wishes to rescue humanity, one that wishes to destroy it. The factions, and important people, are as follows:
The Eyes of the Mind, Leader: AL-45T3R (Alaster)
A mysterious group of mostly androids that are based in the Desert. They salvage ancient rubble and wreckage, on a constant search for something called "Eden."
The Children of Justice, leader: C0-R0-N4 (Corona)
A group of radical Androids that control the Eastern North American and the South American continents. Their leader, Corona, is a power-hungry being who seeks to annhilate whats left of humanity and let the machines have total control of the planet.
The Guardians of Neptune, Leader: UN-D1-NE (Undine)
They control the vast underwater cities left behind by the European League. They care little for the conflicts on the surface, and like the Eyes of the Mind, are constantly salvaging for something, deep beneath the waves.
The Imperial Rulers of the East, leader: SE-1R-YU (Seiryu)
Similar to the Children of Justice, they seek power as well, and also wish for the destruction of humanity. However, unlike the mindlessly destructive Children, they have no quarrel with their fellow Android nations, and are more diplomatic in their approach. They are lead by a mysterious creature called the Dragon Emperor Seiryu, whom nobody has seen.
Other important characters (not controllable by anyone but RP creator)
Arthur Killingsworth: A human, one of the survivors. He speaks little, and little is known of him, besides the fact that he's a priest who should long be dead. What his motives are is unclear, but he turns up time to time, usually at the most opportune of moments.
The Magi: Something of a legend has been circulating the dark recesses of the world about three powerful machines who manipulate everything behind the scenes. Supposedly, they are the ones who hold the keys to the place that the Eye of the Mind seek out, Eden. However, there is no proof that these machines even exsist, so most of it is seen as useless mythology.
The Hunters: A group of incredibly powerful Androids who serve as bounty hunters, killing political and personal enemies for a price they determine. They are led by an Android called S13G (Sieg), who bears some kind of animosty towards Alaster.
And for clarification:
Androids: Humanoid-looking, posessing the most advanced AI, usually not as large or powerful as robots, but definatly smarter. They look like the robots from Megaman, for reference, human-like faces with metal bodies and advanced computerized minds.
Robots: Usually large machines, or animal-like robots, Robots range from very weak and simple to very very powerful and simple. Almost without exception, they lack the powerful AIs that Androids have, and are usually used for construction or weapons-purposes by the androids.

Whew! I had to get this into writing. Its a little choppy, so I apologize, but what do you guys think?
