It's not easy being a New Yorker. But following the wake of two world wars, the rebuilt city of New York stands tall once again. Some say that the richest are reaching for heaven, while the poorest live deep down below in the slums. But even deeper down, more people live in a city underground. Such is life in 2461.

The world as we know it, is mostly gone. Forever divided between a distinction between human and the super powered, also known as Tanks, and two more world wars, responsible for destroying old boundaries and laws, the citizens of Earth have bonded together against a common enemy of their own creation; the Tanks. But even united through a common fear for Tanks and diversion towards super powers, most people aren't even aware that Tanks are still used for scientific research. No wonder, you'll finally say, that they're still acting out.

Augustus Moselle is credited as the father of the Tanks and has gone down in history as the man who decided to play God and give evolution a hard shove up the ass. And Humanity has paid the price ever since.
