Lore

The Nexus 2661 world takes place on a future earth that differs vastly from the one we live in.

Prologue
In the year 2561, a small mining town in America discovered a new ore. This newfound ore had many, seemingly reality bending properties. The American government showed great interest in this ore and immediately began researching it’s unique abilities. With the help of this ore, the U.S.A achieved many scientific breakthroughs that gave their economy a great boost. However they refused to export any of the Atlantium they mined.

Nearly 50 years after it’s original discovery, the Russian’s elected to send out a platoon of robots to raid an American Atlantium research lab for any information on the ore. Unfortunately, one of their robots suffered a meltdown after being exposed to the raw Atlantium, the robot’s body exploded, setting off a chain reaction that destroyed the Atlantium in the building and engulfed the entire laboratory in a massive, blue explosion.

As the shockwave traveled across the earth, it changed the way the planet works drastically. It opened up rifts across the planet, and a small portion of people developed magical abilities that seemed to fit with their personality. Fire for the those who were aggressive, healing for the compassionate, it as a rarity for two people to have the same power.

Robots, however, reacted much differently. Before, they were mindless drones, but after being exposed to the Atlantium, they developed personalities, dreams and hopes, they became sentient. Some of them received drastically enhanced abilities. Now that robots were sentient, they refused to live their lives out as slaves to the humans. While some countries willingly gave the robots citizenship, many saw violent and bloody uprisings and revolutions. Some unfortunate countries were completely overrun by robots and all humans there were enslaved, while in others, robots prospered alongside humans as equals.
