You live far in the future, a version of Earth that was blighted by overpopulation. Three quarters of the human race has rapidly vanished, and small, tight-knit communities thrive in the echoes of a once great civilization. As the number of humans in the world dwindles, corporate greed is just as common as before. You live in a sort of sub-community. A group of people that have taken to perfecting their minds and bodies in these treacherous times. People who are sick of injustice. Freerunners.
