Storyline

The End Day
Savage nuclear war engulfs the world
All nations are destroyed
The Earth's axis shifts and a great mutation took place
Those remaining built a great machine
To oppress evil if it returned

Centuries pass
The Earth has become dominated by mutated creatures
People work together to rebuild their villages and their lives

People now live in fear of an Evil Tyrant
He dominates the lands
Annihilating any form of resistance

And the world is in peril...

-== Storyline ==
-=== In The Beginning===
-The year is 2021, the peak of human civilization. The '''World Powers''' brought forth their greatest researchers and scientist to under take '''Project Hope'''.

+<div>
-'''Finished :''' ''October 1st, 2043; 8:46 PM EST''
+==Gameplay==
-The main importance on '''Project Kronos''' was to study and perfect human preservation techniques. Cryogenics proved to be the most successful way. Many experiments went horribly wrong until a perfectly frozen human was thawed. It isn't sure but psychosis is believed to be a side effect of this process unfortunately.
-====Project Aeros====
-'''Started :''' ''May 21st, 2021; 7:00 AM EST''<br>
-'''Finished :''' ''March 3rd, 2028; 4:24 PM EST''

-====Project Dynamo====
-'''Started :''' ''May 21st, 2021; 7:02 AM EST''<br>
-'''Finished :''' ''June 18th, 2040; 4:44 AM EST''

-====Project Omega====
-'''Started :''' ''May 21st, 2021; 6:55 AM EST''<br>
-'''Finished :''' ''May 2nd, 2064; 7:06 PM EST''
-The '''Omega Project''' was by far the hardest and most deadly project. It was suppose to build a super powered weapon. At first it had the force of few thousand Hydrogen Bombs. People feared it with great intensity and protested it completion. Many attempts were made to destroy the labs and the developmental weapon. Many lives were lost by catastrophic failures by the sabotage done to the weapon.
-===Rise of the Perfected Floating City===
-In 2065, a new project was planned, '''Project Varia'''. The concept of '''Project Varia''' was to build a perfect city, completely self supporting. Completely independent of all outside extremities. To protect the city from the terrorists below, the city was lifted high into the atmosphere. With the population a little under ''half a million'', it was completely independent from the ''Earth'' below.
-===Birth of the Novalith Arc Cannon===

Varia has a story line and for the first 8 Dungeons it's pretty linear but afterward the player will be able to somewhat develop they're own story. Storyline of Varia starts out as this.
-In order to complete the '''Omega Project''', it's research and labs were moved to Varia. There they completed and built the one and only '''Novalith Arc Cannon'''. It's first test subject was 	''Sedna'', an astroid located faraway in the ''Oort Cloud''. It was completely vaporized in less than 3.2 seconds. To demonstrate the power of Varia, the President of Varia constantly kept the Cannon to pointed at the Earth below.

-===The End Day===
+October 1st, 20XX<br>
+The End Day<br>
-''' ''May 21st, 209X'' '''<br>
+Savage nuclear war engulfs the world<br>
-'''THE END DAY'''
+All nations are destroyed<br>
+The Earth's axis shifts and a great mutation took place<br>
-A riot broke out upon Varia, Saboteurs attacked the '''NAC''' control plant. In less than six minutes, the cannon charged and fired upon the Earth below. With in the last seconds of firing, one brave soul weakened the beam, he joined the '''Singularity''', but lost his body in the process.
+Those remaining built a great machine<br>
+To oppress evil if it returned<br>
-Civilization was destroyed.
+<br>
+Centuries pass<br>
-The Earth's axis shifted and all creatures became mutated. Life would never be the same. Those surviving vowed not to repeat the mistakes of the past. Varia was reorganized and a republic was formed. Chancellor of the republic soon cut off all connection to prevent the mutation from effecting it. The cannon was disassembled and the pieces scattered across the ''Universe''.
+The Earth has become dominated by mutated creatures<br>
+People work together to rebuild their villages and their lives<br>
-===Rebirth===
+<br>
-An era in which science and technology were shunned, for they had proved to be mankind's downfall, and the ancient arts of sorcery and magic were revived. As the survivors slowly rebuilt their world, towns and villages began to spring up, and the wisest and most capable of the magicians used their magic to keep order.
+People now live in fear of an Evil Tyrant<br>
+He dominates the lands<br>
-Peace reigned over the land for a hundred years...
+Annihilating any form of resistance<br>
+<br>
-Until a powerful magician named Agemo, intrigued by the forbidden ways of science and technology began to study the principles of machines and the City of Varia. Realizing the power he might wield if he combined his magic with technology, his mind became twisted by the urge to control and dominate his fellow men.
+He uses ancient technologies and magic to force obedience<br>
+Powers that were meant to be lost to time.<br>
-Agemo created a computer capable of simulating his magic powers. He soon attacked Varia politcally and soon enough became the Supreme Chancellor of it. HE soon placed his computer on it and from this airborne fortress, he built and controlled his growing empire, until the entire planet was threatened by his ever-spreading evil.
+Now the great machine has been activated<br>
+And the world is in peril...<br>
-In an attempt to combat Agemo, the other magicians constructed a series of powerful swords, along with powerful items to use with these swords. Combined they posed a threat to Agemo.
-Learning of their idea, Agemo seized the weapons; but they had made them too well, and he was unable to destroy them. Knowing they could only defeat him if used together, Agemo scattered the weapons throughout the land and stripped the wise magicians of most of their powers.
-===Hope===
-It is said, one day, a mighty soul will come and gather the weapons and once and for defeat the horrid Agemo and destroy his ''empire''. Could you be this hero?
-==Gameplay==
-Varia is unique in it's game play as in it is very forgiving. As you progress through the server there are certain choice that will change the the gameplay and story. With Varia's save feature, you can go back play through again and make a different decision.
