--STORY--
On earth, after the darkest century that has ever occured
wiped out most of the human race, technology began to redevelop,
going past where it had stopped before. Among these, 'inventors,'
if you will, was a group of desperate and starving folk who had, more
or less, escaped to the Antarctic. They used primitive ball and powder,
very similar to the 19th century. The powder, however, often began to
ignite, mainly during the Arorua Borealis, or Northern Lights. Many
blamed the strong magnetic feilds of the poles for mingling with the
powder. Others blamed the swirls of red, and blue, and green, the
Lights. But most thought everyone else was just bat-crap crazy.
Though this posed a problem, a solution came into being.
The black powder was ran through a resin, flammable, yet enough
moisture repelled the magnetic field. After this, a new idea spawned
from a 'Mathias Fizmire,' who invented an ignition system for firearms.
The bullet, encased in gunpowder, would be fired from a trigger
snapping together to magnets of opposite charges. This would create
enough energy to ignite the gunpowder and fire the bullet.
Organized police forces soon replaced ill-armed militia,
and then organized armies. The most famous, the 56th Regiment.
Only the best of the best were allowed to join the force.
