Battle Hunters:

The Story So Far.

By the year 2089, mankind had made its way back from near self-extinction. 50 years earlier, the avarice and greed that had become the mantra of the giant corporations lead to the unleashing of biological, nuclear, and chemical weapons of mass destruction. The resulting cataclysm, known as "The Great Destruction", wiped out 75% of humanity and buried many of the greatest scientific achievements created by man under several feet of ash and clay residue.

Somehow, mankind survived.

The war came at a time when science had reached its pinnacle of development. Many of the inventions remain dormant in the ruins of the old high-tech cities now called "Dungeons" by the surviving humans. No sane person would enter a dungeon - the dangers are far too great.

The surviving surface dwellers have built a new nation above the ruins of the past, yet there is so much information and technology from the previous age that would assist them in completing their return from desolation. Scientists called "Requestors" hire specialist mercenaries to delve into the dungeons seeking powerful relics to further this goal. The Merc's have only two requirements - cash up front and plenty of action! Considering the dungeons are crawling with mutated animals and renegade robots, the action part is always contracted for the next mission.

By the way, these special mercenaries are known as "Hunters" and they are extremely gifted in the art of combat.
