Octane is a play-by-post site set far into the future. It is human-based, although animals can be awarded for plots reasons.

We are a semi-literate to advanced site, willing to accept people that are perhaps not quite good enough for an exclusive advanced site. We are a training ground for those that want to hone their skills, and, if you request it of x_absinthe kindly, you can be given roleplay lessons.

Nuclear warfare has ravaged much of the world, promoting new diseases, horrible mortality rates, and, above all, new thinking into warfare. A treaty between all countries is struck, and all revert back to the weapons of medieval Europe; IE swords, shields, and chainmail.

Such a drastic move does not come without it's snags, however, and science slowly grinds to a halt, technology following suit, and almost regresses, until the hospitals become overcrowded, filthy places that spring the word 'mortuary' rather than 'recovery' in games of word-association. Orphanages find themselves more overcrowded than ever as floods of orphans find their way in. And, most of all, the world finds itself plunged into the deepest dark age ever witnessed by mankind.

Cue the warfare.

Welcome, my friend, to the world of Octane - the battlefield where anything can and will happen.

In a war that has spanned generations, the Sultan of Tunisia has taken on the world with his expansive armed forces, and is currently laying in wait to take hold of England, which desperately battles to protect it's capital city and the King that resides within. Aided by the Irish and Scottish, will the English be able to defeat the Sultan's army, or will England find itself signing it's own death warrant?

Join today, and discover for yourselves.

But what of the rest of London? Snaking inbetween the days and nights, an illegal lab experiment fights to stay alive, while orphans moan, the resident Priest prays, school children fight, and the screams from the hospital haunt all those around.

What will become of the mysterious experiment, or, indeed, the rest of London? Will they rise up as a nation to defend what they believe in, or will they be mercilessly crushed beneath the Sultan's iron heel?

Combat. Love. Deceit. Betrayal. Power. Hate. Evil.
