This is my loudest bork
There are a lot of secrets in the world, both natural and not natural. The motivations of some killers, what lies in the Challenger Deep, what goes on in space, what happens behind closed doors, whether we're closer or not to curing cancer or aids, what actually happened in the past compared to what we actually believe nowadays, what happened before the universe was made, how the universe was made and what will happen after we're done with this life. As of now, at best is predictive analysis based on modern day trends, sociology, and technological advancements. It is mostly things like when we can colonize space. When we can have unrestricted exploration of the ocean. At what point we will develop sentient robots. At the current trajectory of social interactions and law, whether we could actually achieve Brave New World or 1984 and when.
What's not being talked about is what exactly is being kept from the people. In other words, what are our rulers keeping from us. What are they doing? Is the Korean DMZ holding anything weird? Why is Area 51 so protected and far away? What operations are going on with and/or against other countries, how aspects of people's lives are being exploited and how it is used when it comes to settling conflict down the blood paved road, what equipment is being utilized and what is in the future for government, policy, and military operations.
For most people, this doesn't matter and for good reason. They realize that they are but a small cog in a machine with over 7 Billion parts, so they keep to their own job in said machine, whether the machine can function with or without that cog's job. What happens though, when you stumble upon something that the public really shouldn't know about? That Top Secret information that unauthorized dissemination could result in the deaths of all involved, no exceptions or questions
Will you hide or will you enlighten the public as to the goings on of the elected leaders in this democracy, the operations and secrets of the people that WE elect. Call me a Conspiracy Theorist, but...........Something's fishy
This RP is a mystery RP that deals heavy in splitting pathways and the coming together of pieces to form the entire picture. If something is missed, the entire picture may not be formed. Of course, one could engage in analysis to try and paint the entire picture, but if things are off, it'll affect the end result. This will be all consequential decision-making, where every decision will come at a cost. Luck could come into play, death can be a real possibility.
Specialists
Every character will have a role. These are basically classes. With these come certain situations that are tailored to a character's specialty. If they can't hack, they probably shouldn't be trying to hack. Bad shit usually happens if they try.
- [Gun/Knife/Fist] Assault- Good with gun, knife, OR hand-to-hand fights. Probably shouldn't be getting close to highly trained fighters though
- Medic- Tends to the injured. Pretty important to staying alive
- Hacker- Can access secure networks
- Thief- Good with lockpicks and sneaking
- Scout/Scavenger- Points out things of interest. Scouts are extremely useful at night and Scavengers are better in the day
- Shade- Utilizes shady connections and favors to get stuff done. A Black Market or Mafia type deal that utilizes favors
- Diplomat- Can easily talk themselves out of situations when words are better than the sword
- Engineer- Can access the inter-workings of a machine or building and disable/enable it
I heavily emphasize teamwork and looking for specialties to take advantage of, as I plan to be as subtle as possible at mentioning some of what can be taken advantage of. If you miss it, then it's not sticking around. Romance and close friendships are highly encouraged in this RP as the nature of some of the stuff that'll be happening doesn't give much light to the edgy anti-social asshole in a group. Arrogant yet caring and useful is one thing. Being unbearable is another.
Species
There are gonna be only 2 playable species, humans and the locked one that won't be usable until later. If you desire to use the other, your character could potentially become victim to what's gonna be found. Of course it's gonna come with drawbacks. That'll be explained as its discovered. For now, it's humans onlyVillains
Villains in this RP are villains in name only. Government officials who have a job to do. Whether it's CIA, FBI, TSA in case of travel, Secret Service, Armed Forces, or Police, that'll be the villains. Trained for the most part in their jobs. With that in mind, it will require some wit and thinking, using those specialties to get by or dispatch enemies. Location
This RP will take place in Michigan in the beginning, but can go national or international depending on how far we all want to go to find any sort of clues. Why Michigan to start? It's one big conspiracy canvas. There is a lot of history and pictures to use and good scenes to set because of this.Flow and Posting
RPN RP, no Discord unless I get a huge following and they vote on it. The flow of this RP will be slow-moderate. I expect a paragraph at least, but not a giant wall of text. People get lazy and just skim through that stuff, me included. I need DEDICATED posters and commitment to the RP. If you have any question about whether or not you can join the RP, it's most respectful to just say no instead of expressing interest, making a CS and never posting. It's even worse if you post elsewhere on the site while ignoring this one. My Story-based posts (posts that set the scene or introduce a specialty scenario) will be fairly detailed.
Player Interaction
I'm always open to player ideas. I highly encourage it actually. Ideas of locations and things to discover or things to add to the overarching story are all viable. Side-stories and drama, past lives and atonement. I don't want to feel like I'm just stringing players on in some story. I want every player to feel like they are in this world, not just looking from above.
