Warforged takes place in an alternative, contemporary reality in the world where cybernetics and genetic manipulation are rife. Bio-genetic creatures have been created and with their own jacked in Pilots combat in specially designed arenas to see who the King of the City is.
2016
A new President was elected to office in America, following the assassination of the President by a white supremacy group. President Kirby established a new totalitarian government and a police state to try and turn around the economic collapse and rising social unrest that was rife. Marshall Law was established in the United States. World Stock Market Collapse occurred following the problems not only in America but also in the United Kingdoms, Japan and the European Union.
2017
President Kirby with his advisors devised a plan to help stabilize American society. Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution was scrapped by the Corporation Nakamura’s backed politicians which eventually made the United States Military withdraws from Japan and Korea late in the year.
2019
Following years of economic meltdown a once proud America had fallen, its infrastructure shattered and military in disarray. Abandoned by its former allies, the United States was a bleak landscape of walled towns and abandoned suburbs. This was a police state where high school stadiums had become detention centres, and shopping malls shelter armoured attack vehicles. A wall was built across the Mexico/America border.
2020
President Kirby stated on a live worldwide television broadcast that he had repealed the 22nd Amendment leading to him continuing on indefinitely in Office.
2025
The Neurolink, a type of organic computer wired into the user's brain was invented. It enabled people to connect to their technology by plugging into a port at the base of the skull. It soon became common place that they soon became the top selling technology item in the world. Scientists in Japan successful grew a hybrid creature using genetic manipulation by splicing together cells from White Rhinos, Tiger Sharks and Black Bears.
2026
Conditions in the United States got worse, with the collapse of the financial system which forced the Mexican government to quarantine the country by setting up immigration quotas as the people continued to escape North America for a better life. The wall that the American’s had built was now being used to stop the American’s crossing the borders into Mexico. The creatures created by Scientists in Japan are commonplace among the countries media and it’s not long before the technology became commercially available everywhere.
2027
The last of the big Corporations decided to leave America. Nakamura, a Japanese electronics corporation had been working on Bio-Genetics and were leading the way for how to use their augmentations with these creatures. Humanity was changing and battle lines were being drawn between flesh and monster.
2028
Toshiro Nakamura assumed control of the Nakamura Corporation after his father’s death and immediately created its security division to undertake black operations. In Vatican City, a Papal Bull was issued confirming Pope John Paul IV's position against the creatures being created in labs and further denouncing all things bio-genetic "unholy and ungodly by their very nature."
2029
In Vatican City, Pope John Paul IV mysteriously died in his sleep. He was replaced by a moderate cardinal from Spain who took the name John XXV. Japan launched a series of solar collector satellites and beamed the energy to Earth via microwave.
2032
Mexico City underwent a major rebuilding process after the Corporations decided to use that as its base in the America’s. The investments made from them enabled this reconstruction. The Corporation Chimera came into a contract with the government of Mexico. Many new towers and infrastructure was built, including a nearby solar field and hydroelectric dam to power the city.
2033
The local Cartels were disruptive and put a hold on the rebuilding. Chimera began a massive campaign to rebuild the nation and cleared it out of dangerous elements. Chimera’s CEO, Brandon Michaels, took a particular interest in the project as he hoped to turn Mexico City into a model of the success for the private military industry. He was also inspired by the history of the city and others like it. Chimera proved to be far more effective and efficient than the Mexican Government and Cartels in restoring Mexico City. They managed to crack down on the militant factions throughout the city with the use of the newly commissioned mechanised Police units, placing their defeated members in a large prison facility on the outskirts.
2035
Bio-engineered kaiju’s were created in Japan which could be controlled by someone jacking in to them. These remotely controlled creatures are then used in sort of underground gladiatorial battles as a sport around the world.
2037
There had been significant improvement in New Mexico City and the citizens could now walk outside without fear of violence. The Mexico City rebuilding project was completed. The first Artificial Intelligence is developed by Vanguard Industries. In Texas, a new kind of militias was created, allowing governments to assemble armed groups of private citizens to fill gaps in law enforcement.
2038
14 German Police officers are killed by Nakamura Security when attempting to arrest a high level executive. Marshall Law in the United States ends. Vanguard Industries move to New Mexico City. Determining the United States government hadn’t done enough to protect its citizens; Texas seceded from the Union and began construction of their own border walls. An Arena was built in Mexico specifically to showcase the spectacular of Kaiju combat.
2039
New Mexico City was thriving. Business, particularly the financial sector, and Chimera had greatly modernized the infrastructure. The city continued to expand in a rapid manner similar to Dubai in the early 21st Century. The citizens of the city were settling into a more peaceful, prosperous existence. The Corporations built a metro line which linked the Corporate Sector to the Outer Suburbs.
2040
With other Corporations moving their corporate headquarters to New Mexico City they fully expanded their technology to the masses who could afford it. Computer technology had advanced to the point that many members of the public possessed cyber brains, technology that allowed them to interface their biological brain with various networks. The level of cyberization varied from simple minimal interfaces to almost complete replacement of the brain with cybernetic parts, in cases of severe trauma. This could also be combined with various levels of prostheses, with a fully prosthetic body enabling a person to become a cyborg.
2042
In Mexico a Cult of sorts formed under the mysterious self-proclaimed Messiah, the Unfather became a thing. Speculation is strife that the Unfather is not even a person but merely an AI in a human sized cybernetic shell. Nakamura discovered precious natural deposits under a facility in South America. Chimera supported the native population in removing Nakamura, they failed and Nakamura brought the rights to the land.
2045
The new technologies of cybernetic implants were creating a new class divide in New Mexico City. On one side, there were those humans who eschewed implants because they were either morally opposed to the tech or too poor to afford it. And then on the other side was those humans augmented with cybernetic implants. New Mexico City was suddenly rocked by gang warfare, eventually suppressed by their Mechanised Police force.
2046
New Mexico’s business areas were clean, neat, well–lit showcases, free of crime and poverty, controlled by powerful Corporations. They were surrounded by decrepit, squalid suburbs and burned out ghettos teeming with gangs and other violent sociopaths. The outer suburbs were also Corporate–controlled zones; safe, well–guarded tracts where executives raised their families in relative security. The city was contingent on robotics for everyday aspects like waste collection, maintenance, and public transportation. Homelessness was abound, but does not preclude the poor from modifying themselves with technology, which has brought people to addiction and violence. If they become a threat, the Mechanised Police deal with them. Because of the constant threat of physical harm, all citizens are allowed to own and openly carry firearms in public.
2048
Underground fight clubs spring up around the slums of New Mexico City supposedly sponsored by the Corporations with a chance to compete in the arena built especially for the owners of the Kaiju combat league “Warforged”
