The future of humanity is something that has been speculated for decades, or perhaps even centuries. What will exist in the near future? Sprawling metropolises filled with towering skyscrapers and flying cars? Laser weaponry perhaps or utopia? No. Not utopia. Humanity's future is indeed much more bleak, holding nothing but misery and stalled advancement. But suffering through decades of enslavement a select few have finally decided to fight back. The Cult. They are here to get revenge on those who sought to steal away their livelihood.
It is the near future, about a century from now. All human advancement and technological development has been at a standstill due to an alien invasion in early 2014. Humanity tried to fight back with everything they had but the aliens had many technological advantages, ultimately resulting in the alien race's victory. This defeat left behind a broken Earth that was just to become another enslaved planet in the alien race's intergalactic network.
Thousands of humans continue being shipped off every day to work all across their alien masters' network, usually as miners or other heavy labour jobs. This came to be considered the worst punishment. Naturally, in dire times people sought out something higher than themselves, thus the birth of many new cults, or religions according to whom you're speaking to, began. Many of these new cults considered the enslavement of humanity to be punishment for previous decadence and began to blame technology and other things that the "old world" enjoyed.
People began flocking to these new priests, hoping to be redeemed. This of course, left them with unmeasurable power and control over what is left of society. Entire organizations with the sole purpose of kidnapping people into their cult began to crop up, even leaving peoples' one source of hope in chaos. This is where our story begins.
So in this RP you are playing a character that has been kidnapped by one of these organizations. Naturally you think you're being dragged into just yet another cult, but then you soon realize this one is different. You realize they're a group of warriors who plan to wage a war against your occupiers. As expected, however, no cult is without their corruption and this one is no exception. You'll soon come to realize thatSpoiler: Spoiler warning!

I'm generally pretty laid-back as a GM, but as expected there's at least a few rules I'd like followed.
Spoiler: The Rules
Basically the premise here is that either you can side with the cult or you can join a group that seeks to expose their corruption and destroy them. If you want to know certain plot points in advance feel free to read my spoiler. If not, don't.
