2	[[http://r3dux.boards.net/ re:DUX]] is a roleplaying forum that spawned in the face of {{RolePlay/iAntiVirus}}'s impending closure, started by former members [[http://r3dux.boards.net/user/3 Lills]] and [[http://r3dux.boards.net/user/2 Kenny]] and launched in July 2015. Its setting is based on a [[AfterTheEnd post apocalyptic Earth]] in the year 2864, where civilization now resides in great domed cities to protect them from barren, radioactive landscapes long since ravaged by war. Novus, the main hub city of this universe, is seemingly a utopia but underneath its shiny exterior lies unsavory secrets.

4	[[BigBrotherIsWatching The government monitors all of Novus's citizens]], maintaining absolute order under the rational of protecting the people. All is known and seen through neural implants placed into each person from birth. From age 16, [[AchievementTestOfDestiny they are further tested and placed]] within society where deemed fit. While class divides its inhabitants, the people are further split into factions. [[VigilanteMan Vigilantes]] are those who wish to destroy this system by any means necessary, to break free of their gilded cage. [[LawEnforcementInc The Secret Police]] combat Vigilantes, suppressing rebellion, keeping the innocent safe from violence, and ensuring the city's survival. [[UnfazedEveryman Citizens]] maintain a position in-between these groups, content with the fate they've been given and advancing Novus's progress. [[DisasterScavengers Scavengers]] exist outside of regular society, their neural implants disabled and thus branded as illegal by the government.

10	----
11	!!This roleplay provides examples of the following:
12	%%* AfterTheEnd
13	* BioAugmentation: It's not uncommon for most people to have at least one gene modification, from animal parts to carbon fiber bones to wild hair color changes. These can range from the subtle to the extreme.
14	%%* CityInABottle: Each of the cities remaining on Earth.
15	* CommonTongue: Called "Universal", though languages from before the war are still very much alive.
16	%%* DomedHometown
17	* DesignerBabies: With gene manipulation being easily achievable in this universe, people can make careers out of "designing" children with certain traits.
18	* FantasticCasteSystem: Overlapping with UrbanSegregation, everyone has a class they're either born into or achieve through their own merits. At the bottom are the Slums, followed by the Lower, Middle, and Upper classes, with the Executives at the very top of the social pyramid. While classes can interact with one another however they please, those of differing ranks cannot co-habitate.
19	* FreeLoveFuture: LGBTQA+ is perfectly acceptable in Novus, with no stigma or barriers to who people choose to love or how they identify. Discrimination based on gender and sexuality is actually illegal and prosecutable.
20	* MagicFromTechnology: Called "Magix", the power to harness the mystical elements is really just derived from code that can be uploaded through the NUIP. Magix draws its power from the user and basically allows the human body to push past its limits. It's readily available to purchase in Novus (so long as one has a prescription from the government), though illegal sources also exist.
21	** BlowYouAway: Air
22	*** ShockAndAwe: Air's subset, Electricity.
23	** DishingOutDirt: Earth
24	*** GreenThumb: Earth's subset, Plant.
25	** MakingASplash: Water
26	*** AnIcePerson: Water's subset, Ice.
27	** NonElemental: Physical
28	*** PoisonousPerson: Physical's subset, Acid.
29	** PlayingWithFire: Fire
30	*** LightEmUp: Fire's subset, Light.
31	* NeuralImplanting: Every citizen is given a neural port shortly after birth, called the NUIP. Many aspects of daily life-- such as currency exchange, wifi access, long distance communication, and even birth control-- are controlled by the NUIP. Scavengers do not have functioning neural ports and thus can't use these features.
32	* OpenSecret: Despite the name, Secret Police are widely known about in Novus. However, individual Secret Police officers will usually hide the fact they are such.
33	%%* WretchedHive: Parts of the Slums and Lower Class, potentially.
