Is there some sort of plot? If so, what is it? - How did it all begin?
No one is really sure, but it had to do with the ever growing fear of us losing over them. The U.S. was gradually losing it's foothold as an international superpower. The fall of the stockmarket and resulting Second Depression made it hard for many to get back on their feet. Seeing as we weren't as powerful as we once were, Russia was the first to lead the attack, trying to sneak in through the Bering Straight and into Alaska. We beat them back, but it wasn't enough. With the cold climate, many of our soldiers died. We needed to find a way to fight while resisting the harsh climates.
Enter WarTech, a technology corporation who had in the past pleased the government with their techological advances in weapons. The scientists offere a solution to make the perfect soldier: resistant to harsh climates, they also seemed to have increased speed, intelligence and strength. They were certain that the government would want what they had to offer. But when it found out that the soldiers were really experiements for recombinant DNA, they refused, citing the decree of a previous president who had declared transgenic experimentation an abomination. What they didn't know was that the soldiers weren't adults but children, stolen from the streets. After all who would miss homeless and orphaned children?
With the refusal of this proposal, the government also cancelled all contracts with WarTech, effectively putting the company into bankruptcy. What the governement didn't know was that several senators and other Washington officials were in the pocket of WarTech executives. It wasn't long before a new president was elected, a former WarTech executive. With his placement in the White House, the experiments began again. The first and biggest lab in San Franciso was poised to release their recruits. But there was an even bigger surprise. Rather than turn these soldiers onto the other nations, they would be released onto their own soil. In effect, turning them onto their own people.
The night before their release, several of the children, now nearly grown, escaped. They had endured many years of torture and refused to endure anymore. Freedom beckoned to them and to those that escaped, their first dose of freedom also turned them into fugitives.
But all was not lost. Those still left, and those who were kidnapped to replace the escapees have saviors on the outside. It's only a matter of who will win: them or the corrupt government.
RP era and type (war, etc.) - near future/sci-fi/alternative reality

Is magic allowed? - no
Other - we've just started and would really like to get more people. please come in an check us out. thanks!
