Eternal Twilight

Living in a undergrounded steampunk mega city where you're told the above ground is a toxic wasteland with the nest of the mutant creatures that attack each night.

Plot

You lives in a steampunk mega city called Stoneheaven always taught and told the above ground is a toxic nuclear waste where toxic rain and glowing green fog is abundant among ruin cities, long forgotten to time as its been over 500 years since all civilization went undergrounded in pockets of mega cities connected between massive worldwide cavern networks some mapped and some unmapped with occasionally vertical shafts with elevators to the surface. You has always been curious about the above world and has been told stories passed down generation to generation and even has seen some of the old nature magazines and dreams of what the above world may look like. You decides one night to venture out past the City Gates to find out what is true from the history books taught in school using every bit of knowledge learned in high school about the various mutant creature that is in the tunnels and possibly above ground to as that is where You hopes to eventually reach. You knows the first section of elevators used to take people down to the mega cities is about 250 miles away. Most of the mutant creatures are twisted grotesque versions of the funa and flora that once inhabited Earth but there are a couple that don't resemble anything that lived on Earth so its theorized by scientists and historians that its some mutant version of what a human can take if exposed to the toxic nuclear mist that roams the Earth twisting the animals and plants of Earth when the bombs originally fell over 500 years ago. You also took a class on 'Herbs of the Underground and how to Survive' as most of the plant life underground has changed too but its nothing like the violet mutant creatures of the Above but most plants appear different than what they once looked if edible as it has had to evolve and adapt to no sunlight and still be able to pack all the nutrients and vitamins needed from them. Also You knows how to hunt and harvest mutant creatures to use the edible parts to eat for a meal when away from a mega city, as it is taught in school at a young age. You family has a history of having either genius Mages, Hunter or Vanguard contributing to Stonefall history as brave and courageous defenders of the city of Stoneheaven one of the biggest ungrounded mega cities left that hasn't been destroyed or over run by mutant creatures, to this date there are only 27 unground mega cities left out of the 350 that was created throughout the World. The underground cave network that runs throughout the Earth has multiple connectioning caves to enormous caverns such as the ones the Mega Cities had been built in if the had the optimal conditions and with how many that was made total it was a suprise to the World Governments back during the global war that had ruined and scarred the Earth to what it is causing everyone to flee underground. Furthermore due to your family's prestigious and historical achievements throughout the years your family has become of the Noble Families of Stoneheaven the Blackwoods. The network of caves throughout the world have a variety of shapes and sizes with various things filling them some as small as a football field to as large as multiple cities, and some of the things in theses caverns can range from unground lakes to underground mushroom forests to crystal caverns filled with natural gems and minerals and other mutant creatures nests that have borrowed down from the surface or came down from broken down elevator shafts. Some of the mutant creatures that don't resemble any flora and funa native to Earth look like creatures of myth and legends ranging from Dragons, Tree Ents, Hydra and more from storybook read back when the Earth's surface was clean and fresh air. As civilization adapted and grew to unground life the evolved to be able to harness the elements as a mage or to have the ability to use divine light to heal or to tame the mutant creatures that roam the caves around the Earth and surface. Further more they adapted to sturdier and more flexible bodies allowing for Vanguard and Hunters to go toe to toe with the mutant creatures. Most mutant creatures have whats called a Crystal Heart it's a secondary heart that allows them to either use the natural elements to attack or to use as self enhancements to similar to a self buff. Stoneheaven was the first Mega city to have an Adventures Guild to take on tasks ranging from herb gathering quests past the city walls or extermination quests to take out nests that get too close to the city or survey quests to scout the caves to make sure its safe for trade caravans to go to the nearest Mega City to trade with them for food, water or technology sometimes to exchange written materials on the current weaknesses and known mutant creatures including new migration patterns for roaming mutant creatures swarms. As swarms can be as small as 10 and as large as a few thousand mutant creatures with the largest known swarm in history being 8765 mutant creatures. The Adventures Guild is the reason why there is an Academy for the different classes Hunter, Vanguard, Mage, Cleric, Tamer, Steampunk Craftsmith, each class with their own unique skills and abilities along with subclasses know and hidden to the Adventures Guild, You will be able to choose one of the classes as they explore the caverns system of Earth and the ruins on the surface. On top of that skills and abilities can be gain through skill scrolls or through repetitive tasks or actions meaning not one skill or ability is limited to one specific class as Humans are an adaptable race as a whole.
