Once a Technocratic Initiative or experiment, Crystal Ball has become so much more in a world that is not as it once was.

Originally meant to be a test program to see if the Union could work together with diverse agents of the supernatural world, without having… civilized them by Union standards, it has taken on a life on it’s own, with the bulk of the original Union members assigned to the Initiative breaking off to form the Crystal Order, a technocratic based group of mages seeking the restoration of the Balance.

The Crystal Order, along with its allies, have worked to restore a world devestated by a world war and several natural and man made disasters. Now they work to keep the world as much of a utopia as possible.

Important Information

 

It is very important that those wishing to play are aware of this information. No matter where their character is going to originate from, unless of course they’ve spent the last 5 or so years underground away from everything or were in a coma for about that length of time. In short this is widely known information.

 

  • In this Chronicle, in New York City and the rest of the world, the Supernatural is not hidden, it is recognized and accepted by most people, living side by side with normal humans. It helps that the supernatural doesn’t flaunt their abilities but uses them for the betterment of all.
  • The world has recovered from the last war that tried to destroy it, and all that was the result of that war. With the aid of the supernatural the nuclear wastelands were recovered and restored.
  • The unrest in the middle east has come to an end, something happened and the charismatic young leader working to reunify and restore Persia found his own people turning on him and driven out. As a result, currently the middle east is quiet and there has been no more attempts to rid the world of the infidels.
  • There has been many advancements and improvements to the world. The world no longer relies on petroleum, nuclear power, or coal. Battery technology has improved for rechargeable batteries, making it safer and more efficient. Vat grown meats help supplement the world’s meat supply and lessen the need for larger and larger numbers of cows, pigs, and chickens.
  • The floating islands have helped cut down on the crowding  and lack of space on Manhattan island, while allowing for the preservation of historic land marks and opening up the city as skyscrapers are brought down and replaced either with parks or lower structures.
