It may feel like yer climbin' a mountain, tryna' find yerself and whatnot, but the view up top will be uunnnbeatable!"
- 「 BASICS 」New Oasis: Thirteen PeaksWhoever you are, whoever you were, you've ended up here. Your hands clapped in iron and your body behind bars.
You probably deserved worse.
Whether your crime was large or small, you'd served some of your sentence already. Perhaps you were a veteran convict, feared and respected by your fellow inmates, or rather instead were a trembling, fresh-faced greenhorn, still processing the soulless, grey complex where you'd be spending the next decade of your life. At minimum.
No matter which way, it was a surprise when that suited ensemble entered your cell. Your sentence had been changed. You were lucky. Whatever was left of your time behind bars was going to be cut down. One year. That's all you'd have to endure. That's all the time that they'd need with you. It wasn't a question, nor an offer. Your fate was not your own, and it hadn't been since some murky official had signed it away.
You were gone within hours, shoved into the back of the first of countless modes of transport, that slowly but surely ferried you to a far-off corner of the world. At the end of your journey, a mountain range, and a sparsely populated valley hidden within.
There's no need to worry anymore. This is for your own good. We're going to help you.A WORLD OF POTENTIALToday, approximately 10% of the world’s population possesses a quirk of genetics that has unlocked within them latent, untapped potential. These Potentialities can take many form and manifest in strange, often-times otherworldly ways… Humans with Potential (HPs) are born naturally stronger, faster, and hardier than their Non-Potential (NP) kin. But beyond mere enhancements, a certain subset of HPs (less than 1% of the population by most current estimates) possess unique, fantastical, and above all powerful abilities. Some move at astonishing speeds, others manipulate matter with a mere thought. Just one of them is enough to defeat entire squadrons of Non-Potentials (NPs) with little effort.
The true origins of the subspecies known Homo Potentialis have been lost to the ages. Though in (relatively) recent times, their resurgence was due solely to the actions of a handful of explorers who stumbled upon an ancient system catacombs hidden away beneath a far off city. Uncovering this hidden tomb awoke the dormant Potentiality of all humans the world over, and the NPs have been struggling to keep up ever since.
Currently there are five accepted types of Potentialities, which have more-or-less categorized Potentialities by their presentation, though they are by no means an exhaustive list, and often-times Potentialities may belong to one, two, or more different categories simultaneously. The five Potentials are:
PHYSIK
Physical enhancements with a condition belong here, including but not limited to super strength, super speed. They are by comparison the most simplistic variation.
CHIMERIC
Transformations and alterations of normal human biology, either temporarily or permanently, belong here. Potentialities concerning shape-shifting, animal chimerism, and the like would belong in the Chimeric category.
ETHER
This type of Potentiality deals in the creation of either matter or energy that comes ostensibly from nothing. Ethereal HPs can command elemental forces of fire, ice, or lightning among countless others.
ALCHEMIC
HPs with the power to transmute and manipulate existing matter are called Alchemical. Most broadly, this can include telekinesis, or more specifically, manipulation of specific pre-existng elements or states of matter.
IRREGULAR
The fifth and final category exists to lay claim over any Potentiality that does not fit neatly into one or many of the above categories. There is little that links one Irregular Potentiality to another outside of their rejection of the common understanding.COMBAT SYSTEMThis roleplay will be predominantly "PvE", with a few opportunities for Player Character Vs. Player Character sprinkled throughout. With that in mind, occasionally events will have their outcomes determined via dice roll, with opportunity for advantaged rolls for characters who may have some trait or ability that would lend itself well to the task they are trying to complete. The dice rolls and advantages (or disadvantages) will be determined by the GM prior to the roll.
- 「 MORE 」Thirteen Peaks Rehabilitation ComplexThe Thirteen Peaks Rehabilitation Complex is a shadowy research facility that, as far as the public is concerned, does not exist. Sequestered within a dense mountain range, and then further buried beneath countless tons of dirt and stone, it is not the sort of place that one finds by accident. So it is lucky, then, that your arrival was no accident.
You are a convict, and whether your crimes were large or small, true or false, is of no consequence. Someone, somewhere took an interest in you, and the Potential that makes you special, and you were in no position to say no. Whatever government you'd once expected to protect you, to, even as a criminal dreg, at least honour your rights as a human being, traded you away. What's the loss of one convict, after all? For the sake of something you'll likely never know.
And so you found yourself here. Over a kilometre beneath the earth, under the promise that you'd be helped, reeducated, fixed, and then released back into society. It's a stroke of good luck, the white-coated workers assured you, but you're not so sure. You've never heard of any sort of education that involves syringes, at least.
You're not stupid, or at least, not totally daft. They're studying you. Watching. Learning. Something is sour.
Just try to survive for now. Don't let them poke too many holes in you, otherwise, by the end of the year, there might not be any of you left.COMPLEX STAFF
- 「 RULES 」GM INTROHi, despite who posted this, this is not actually Ele here. Sorry in advance.
For this instalment of the New Oasis Cinematic Universe, I,
The One Eyed Bandit
, will be acting as a GM. Some of you will already be familiar with what's going on here, but I'll elaborate just in case this doesn't end up being totally insular. New Oasis: Thirteen Peaks will be a spin-off of the currently ongoing RP New Oasis: Four Heavenly Kings. It's set in the same setting during the same time frame, but it is located in another part of the world, the eastern nation of Ruthenia.
Compared to its mother RP, I am expecting Thirteen Peaks to be more compact. It will feature a smaller cast in a much more condensed setting, and will likely have a shorter narrative with a defined endpoint. In terms of genre, I am imagining it as something of a thriller and a mystery, and I'd like to encourage a spirit of problem-solving using each of your characters' unique skills and Potentials. Though, there still will be action involved. I'm interested in a cast of around twelve players, though I may be open to a few more depending on what I think I can handle, and I'm likely only going to open up one character slot per person unless we have a smaller player count.
If you've got any questions, then please ask them below, or on Discord. I look forward to hearing from you!OOC RULES1. Be Respectful.
- Treat everyone with respect. If you can’t be civil you’re out. No one has time for all that.
- If a disagreement breaks out because of an in-story thing GMs will make the final call on the decision if it can’t be dice-rolled.
2. Absolutely no godmodding.
- This includes any moving of characters without asking ooc.
- This includes any implying that a character did something or didn’t do something without asking if that’s how they would react.
- If a post can’t be finished without knowing what another player would do then ask them or turn it into a collab.
- If you have been given a warning your post is void until the godmodding has been removed and will be yeeted back to you in a PM before being deleted from the thread.
- If we do not immediately catch that you have been godmodded please pm us.
ROLEPLAY RULES1. Players will start with a 1 character cap.
- This does not mean barely meeting the minimum. It means actually exceeding it. When you can say you haven't left any rp partner waiting more than two-to-four days we’ll consider it
2. Post Minimums: don't leave your partner(s) hanging for over a week with no communication.
3. Character Deaths
- It may be insane of me, but I'm kicking around the idea of actually implementing consequences for absolutely batshit decision-making. The stakes may be low, but this'll still be a story about life... And death. Don't always open that door!
