Story Start (Cannot Give Away too much): Blake Statham is hired to kill off a man, no names yet, with two big guns. Blake is to find the man, kill him, and bring the guns back to his employer, Mr. Jason Levy. Blake set off on the train to the small town of Parker, beleiveing the man to be there. Blake soon catches up with him, shoots first, takes the guns, and does not ask any questions. Soon, he is headed back to Mr. Levy's estate, eager to get his reward, and have a nice night on the town. The train delays at the town of Quarksite, Blake gets off the stalled train, and heads into the local bar for a few drinks before the train gets going again. Some thugs spot the nice, big guns, and decide to beat down Blake. That is when the real trouble starts.
http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f206/cereusprods/blakestatham.gif[/IMG]Blake Statham I've been a merc for five years now. The money has been trickling in from the odd job. I've managed to nail down Mr. Jason Levy as my employer. He's the water tycoon. Leader in his buisness, I believe. He likes to think of me as a bodyguard, although, I don't know how many bodyguards knock off the competition. Oh well, it pays for the ammo and beer, and that's enough for me.
Jason Levy He's the water tycoon. Not many people can afford property on an island, so he makes a bang up buisness selling a tank of water. He's asked me to be his bodyguard, as the official title. All I really do is sit around the guest house until he needs one of his 'friends' taken care of. He's just sent me off to take this guy's guns. He says they're worth a pretty penny.
Sandra Rodriguez She is my biggest opponent in the merc buisness. I don't have to worry about her much, unless Levy decides to hire her. She's sneaky, crafty, smart, and pretty. Not a good combination for guys like me. But, she's got no quarrel with me, and I've got no quarrel with her.
Wiatt Powell He's the law. Whatever the law thinks they are. I haven't seen hide nor hair of the government since the Exodus launched. I think they went up with it, to a better world. And left the rest of us to sort out the mess they've left us with. Anyhow, Wiatt is mean, gutless, and no doubt corrupt as his rusting badge. Needless to say, I haven't got a soft spot for the law, nor Sheriff Powell.

Inculta is a dry world, with little water, and less hope. The small, dirty settlements are home to many unsavory characters. Thieves, gangs, and slave traders are commonplace, and the law is very scarce. The water industry is booming. It is something that everyone needs. Jason Levy is the leader in water distribution, and he is the richest man in Inculta. He holds his island like a castle, with 5 meter tall fences, topped with razorwire, and guard towers every 100 meters, it is an unparalelled castle. Jason Levy guards his person better than his house. He never leave sight of his trusted bodyguards, his head being the infamous merc Blake Statham.
Exodus Launch (Or the Launch): The governtment was planning to shoot every person to a new system in a huge shuttle. Only the rich and powerful were allowed on. And we have not seen a single hair of the shuttle since.
The Rift: A huge, vast, deep crack surrounding Inculta People have tried to cross it, and build a bridge across it, it is too huge. Nearly five miles across, you can barely see the river snaking around down there. Nowadays, you only see miners and sucidal people head over there.
Islands: Since there are no large enough bodies of water in Inculta to support actual islands, the word island refers to spots of land with enough ground water to support trees, shrobs, and grass. These parcels of land are all privatley owned, but many are not built on, for fear it may ruin it. The largest island is called Levy Forest, owned by Jason Levy, it is over 45 square miles of forested area. Most of it remains untouched, save guard towers and fences (To prevent squatters) as well as Levy Estate, and the Levy Water Pumping Plant.
The CCC: Citizens Contractors Corps. They do major construction, and was originally started by the government to encourage work, commerce, exchange of money, and the bettering of our land. Their motto is: We make the desert better.
Woodies: This refers to wooden housing. (Left over from the Govenment Era)
Merc: Short for mercenary.
Irons: This refers to Police or Sheriffs. This term was coined because their badges are made out of iron.
Squatters: People or groups of people who live on someone else's land, most often, some one else's island or oasis.
Calcs: Calcite farmers who make furnature, utensils, and other needed things out of calium deposites found in pillars of east Inculta, They are usually dirty, and poor.

The difference between oasis' and islands: Oasis' are open water, and are usually fairly small, Islands are ground water springs in limnestone cavities underneath the earth. Islands are usually much larger that Oasis'. Few people 'milk' water off oasis' because it disturbs the plant life and the ecosystem of the area, causing the oasis to dry up.
