Our Dusty Old Guns
Back to Basics
How this came to be
It was about 2054, and the future of equipment and weaponry was going great. It was like a second industrial revolution, and the lives of all were getting easier by the hour. A group of people were disgusted by the new technology. Microwave lasers, self sufficient computers, pianos that play themselves, it was all hated by them. The leader of the group turned out to be one of the best public speakers, and the best manipulator of the generation. He knew just how to turn the public to his side. He did it all, propaganda, public speeches and even bribery. He got almost half of America into the idea of going back to basics. Turning back to crank styled miniguns, using actual tools to do your work and popcorn you had to make on the stove instead of the microwave. All his ideas were loved. The other half of America wasn't too happy with the idea, and stuck with their robots and microwaves. The Southern half went back to basics, the Northern half stayed as is. The man that led the South back to basics didn't stick to his guns for long. Where do you think all the discarded future stuff the South didn't need anymore go? He brought it to the North. He helped the North improve their technology far beyond what it had become from the industrial revolution. The North then begin an invasion of the South, with a goal of bringing everybody up to their technological standards. It's a war in America, between the old and the new.
What's where
America - The home of the war. Each state is in war, and the border between Northern and Southern territory is heavily guarded and shifting every day, but generally stays below the center of the US, the North having more territory most of the time. The borders between the US and Canada along with the US and South America are heavily guarded by their respective governments.
North - The future, microwaves, high intensity heat lasers and really fast cars guys. Their cities are basically cities from 2012 but cleaner and more convenient. Their wardrobe is what would be expected in 2013, T-Shirts, jeans, giant sneakers, etc. Their war equipment consists of heavy to light body armor with high intensity heat lasers for combat and cars that look like they were made in japan for transportation. Anyone from the South spotted in the North is sent to prison to be reeducated.
South - The underdogs. The old fashioned revolver, crank miniguns, loud dangerous equipment and gas-chugging vehicles guys. Their cities look like cities from the late 20's. Their wardrobe can range from rags to fancy cloth suits. Their war equipment consists of really heavy jackets with several layers of leather to sheets of metal strapped to their work clothes, old school crank miniguns, blunderbuss styled shotguns and revolvers for combat, and really big and loud gas-chugging vehicles for transportation. Anyone from the North spotted in the South is either feared by everyone, shot by everyone, or a mix of the two. Despite the competition, they're not doing too bad.
