Welcome to Eden is a [[Play -By -Post Games|text-based]] RPG forum. Set in a dystopian future with elements of the mutant role-playing genre, with a community of active (and quirky) members, the forum offers an entire city to explore, immersing the player in a gritty, science-fantasy atmosphere.
 
2012. The world's natural resources are dwindling, conflicts between countries are eminent and people are unsettled. War is inevitable. In the space of just eight years the violent clash of global super-powers will bring humankind to its knees, leaving the terrain desolate and bereft of nourishment, and sucking all hope from the heart of civilisation.
Line 43:
* [[President Evil]]: The Lord Chancellor.
* [[Puberty Superpower]]: The abilities of most mutants first manifest around puberty.
* [[Rated "M" for Manly]].
* [[Rule of Cool]].
* [[Secret Police]]: The Reapers
* [[Shout -Out]]: The city of Eden, with its plate that divides the city into a wealthy Upper and poverty-stricken Lower Level, resembles [[Final Fantasy VII|Midgar]].
** Also, the divisions of the Sons of Adam were based on Shin-Ra's various departments.
* [[Sinister Subway]]: A large complex of abandoned tunnels run beneath Eden; they are remnants of the pre-Genesis city Eden was built upon.
Line 55:
* [[Theme Naming]].
** Many place names are drawn from the [[Religious and Mythological Theme Naming|Abrahamic religions]] (Eden, Sheol Cemetery, Gehenna Alley, etc).
** [[Shout -Out Theme Naming]]: [[Dungeons and Dragons|Otyugh]] Garbage Dump.
* [[There Are No Therapists]]: At least not on the Lower Level/Junk Town.
* [[What Measure Is a Non Super]]: Mainly of the ''Option 2'' type, as per the Sons of Adam's propaganda, but some of their [[Evilutionary Biologist|scientists]] are secretly looking into ''Option 1''.
