Your Home Planet
Is Arplecia (Ar-plee-sia). There is now a single city in the otherwise dark and desolated world. The city is called Taopleco (Tao-plee-so). A little over hald of Arplecia was destoryed by the sudden storm of meteors but because the planet was prepared, they were able to retain as much human life as possible even with such great loss. Due to the destruction of nearly half of the planet there are now orbital problems which brings a limited five hours of daylight to the city.
To this day, things have no yet returned to their normal state. Street lights, charged by the Core Canal, constantly provide light in the hours of darkness. Dark clouds swirl around the planet bringing heavy rain and light snowfalls. Stars are a rare but beautiful sight. Old, broken buildings still stand within the city walls, yet to be fully rebuilt. The city is surrounded by darkness.
One late afternoon, when the natural light of the sky faded, three colored streaks fell from the sky. They plummeted like rain drops, each falling in a different direction than the last. When the first one hit the earth, a flare of red pushed upwards from the horizon, then slowly faded out. Soon after the first, the second falling light hit the surface; a faint yellow hue was painted on the horizon, it too fading out. At last, the third dropped from above. It too glimmered on the horizon; a brilliant blue. When all colored lights faded, there was silence outside the city's walls. These were the survivors of the Triple-Chromaspheres. Color Chromas. Though not many know it.
Citizens are not permitted leave of the city, as most are unfit for the dangers that await them beyond the metal gates. Leave the exploration to the Via Relay Chain (VRC), as they are equipped with the proper gear and knowledge to venture forth. You are encouraged to join the VRC, as they are always looking for new members to help push the recovery of Arplecia forward.

ClimateOne word. Cold. Almost every day the air is chilled, followed by either icy winds or of approaching snowfall. Steam tunnels run beneath the roads to prevent things from freezing over as well as delivering warmth to buildings.
If it's not snowing, or the air doesn't bite, then it's raining. Many rejoice when the rains come, as it is usually a sign for warmer weather. At least above freezing temperatures. |
CurrencyCoins/coinage.
Copper is low. Silver/gold (one side is gold, the other silver) is middle. Ebony/ivory is high. Emerald is rarely used in official transitions nowadays. It's valued more in the streets for vendors or trade. |
Occupations
You could probably make your character have whatever job you'd like. The following occupations all fall within the Via Relay Chain.
The VRC (was previously mentioned above).
Purpose: To revive Arplecia to it's former glory, starting with the expansion of Taopleco.
Communication
Call and respond group. Consists of medics, electricians, police, and any respond team for citizens.
Scouting
Sent to the outer city-limits as reconnaissance. They are usually a well trained task force used to protect those in the Recovery Branch who traveil with them. There are many dangers to this profession if chosen. Hazardous materials may enter the body if the proper protection is not tended to; however, they are trained to know how to prevent such from happening in the first place. They must be prepared for anything. They also know how to map unknown territory so that it is not longer unknown.
Recovery Pt 1
When sent to the outer city-limits, they are joined by many members of the Scouting Branch for extra protection. This branch is focused on the research of what is left of the world outside. They know what's toxic and what can be scavenged from the wreckage. They will mark buildings or locations for possible reconstruction and expansion. These members also work within Taopleco to rebuild incomplete streets and buildings in order to make a safer city.
This branch consists of scientists, constructions workers, and architects.
Recovery Pt 2
It is an cooperation of citizens working to ensure the health, survival, and recovery of the human race. They work solely within the city.
This branch consists of doctors, scientists, psychologists, etc.
