Nietzsche reader
Circa year 2020: Mankind accidentally make first contact with seemingly friendly paranormal entities, who then sneakily take over from right under humanity's noses. The otherworldly entities used a wide range of tactics to take over without the use of invasion or brute force. Assassinations, bribery, blackmail, corrupting officials, and so on and so forth were used. Humanity wasn't punched in the face. It was punched in the back of the head. A one-world government called the Emergence Entity was formed. While many questioned how the governments of the world suddenly fused together, it was "explained" away by international unity and globalism.

During the time of their arrival, nobody on Earth had a concrete reason why the otherworldly beings appeared and did what they did. Some believed they're here to harvest Earth and the resources while playing humanity like a puppet. Others actually did believe they have compassion for humanity. While actions speak louder than words, propaganda has muddled the lines between fact and fiction. However, it can be inferred that dissidence has diminished over the 2020s save for pockets of misfits that live in the countryside rather than the cities.

Ten years later: In order to take back Earth, guerrilla warfare is deemed a must. The Griffin organization was founded from the remnants of the old world. The founding members were ex-military, yet the membership became much more diverse, expanding it from a mere nuisance to a threat to the Emergence Entity. It is up to a ragtag bunch of misfits to save planet Earth from the paranormal beings' nefarious plans. To Griffin, it wasn't military might that made the paranormals dangerous. It was how manipulative they were. Griffin wasn't just a global organization. It was a mobile one, using the Nemesis; a converted supply craft stolen from the paranormal beings. Griffin took to calling them Xenos to highlight their strange and otherworldly nature.

If you're heroic or insane enough to join the resistance, do it or become them! Long live the resistance!

Here will be our OOC discussion for questions or discussions. Before we start, let's go over the rules. Do and don'ts so to say.

1) Don't defy site rules.
2) Do assume good faith with other players.
3) Don't auto-hit, power-game, or ruin the fun for everyone.
4) Do allow story and gameplay to integrate.
5) Don't forget to PM me if you have specific questions or want to ask permission on things.
6) Do have fun! (Ultimate goal)

Character sheets and applications go here.

While I'm expecting more characters coming in, I may deploy the first mission over the weekend. I will give a grace period of until the 8th this month for a special bonus for those who signed up early as a reward for initiative. The RP will still be open to all though.
 
wait so the option to have an OC not from earth is available? If it is, what are the limitations? I mean this so called occupational force might have done similar things to other peoples and species out in the wide 'verse and that idea might seem kinda cool. Anything you could do to enlighten me to this or pm for more specifics so as to not bog down the glorious chat?

Defectors and mercenaries though are the ones I'd most likely accept. When it comes to non-humans, it MUST be believable. I'm working on a list of species. This list will be dynamic and will include humanoids and cryptids.

*silently thinks to self.* Well that throws my idea out the window unless its evil.
Ohhhh can we rp as one of the enemy?
 
That would be a little too impractical to say the least. The goal of the RP is to free Earth from the paranormal yoke, not the other way around.
Aye I know thats the goal but that doesnt mean its not fun to rp as one of the bad guys because c'mon. Change of heart twists any one?
 
DerUbermensch DerUbermensch continuing conversation from CS to here to avoid blowing up CS with unneeded chatter.

Any who, I understand you want to avoid spoilers because discovery and the like is some of the best parts about rps. Hooyah a good plot.
On another note I've done characters that dont talk before and Koen'll do just fine, thank you for the advice however and I appreciate it because I know how difficult it is. I've worked out a few ways to make em work. Force of presence and projection of expression.

However what I dont understand is what you mean by make it more bland and generic. Wasnt that why you wouldnt accept it in the first place because it had little to no information pertaining to the rp? Could you please clarify? Also... seriously what did you mean by going full hog? Its bugging me, like an itch in the back of mine mind.

In plain terms, I meant that you were excessive. You didn't have to do several paragraphs' worth of words. If you were to trim some of the details, that would be good. I asked for a small amount of generic or vagueness to allow for applicability. In other words, not too specific, but not too general. The "just right" zone so to say. Though there are paranormal elements, the RP is grounded in reality.

Oh, I almost forgot something.

Do I smell Xeno lover? I hope you realize what we do to Xeno lovers.

Excessive? PSHHHH. Goodman you obviously do not know me. That was one of my smaller Cs's. I've done 15 pages for a character once, about 8 of which was backstory. . . True she was an infinitely more complex character than wee Koen.

And OI, I love aliens and what they are capable of, Koen Raad on the other hand is the epitome of the meme 'overburdened with indifference.'
As long as they dont blow up his shit, touch his shit, breath or exist near his shit, he wont really care. Good thing the status quo changes.

On another note, so you want me to trim more details of the? Backstory or add in more for the rp's setting specifically.

Your response as a Xeno lover merits audit by my commissars. Also, trim the backstory a little bit as for the primary request. But throw a thing or two in for the RP setting on the side. Don't try too hard though. Fifteen pages is actually super excessive for an RP of this caliber. This isn't a chickenhearted one-liner RP, but not an insane detailed one either.

Hey man, gotta admit to heresy when put to the question, any who. Ill see what I can do whilst still keeping it compact. Might end up making it read like shit but I will give it a go.
 
A friendly word of remind that the RP is still open and the deadline hasn't past. Thursday is the deadline to jump in with the special surprise I had for you all. Even though I set up the RP IC earlier, it's just so I can calibrate it.
 
Blitzer Blitzer : Did you read the original posts? By the way, we don't have EMP rounds as of this time of writing. I also question your mathematical abilities. Five drones and four automatons. That's nine, not ten. Also, even though there are otherworldly beings, it is an RP grounded in real life. That means there are limitations. Carrying all the weapons you described with a boyish physique? That would actually slow you down immensely, having to lug all of it around. What you're forgetting is that your character is only human and can only do so much.

Yes, I know this is tough for you. But if you are unable to understand or get the point, this RP isn't for you.
 
For everyone to know, I use random number generators to decide outcomes. Where I got them? Courtesy of Google when you type in "rng" into the search bar. How it works is the following: One is an epic failure. Two to four is a miss. five to six is a graze. Seven to eight is a hit. Lastly, nine to ten is a critical hit. All from one to ten range to clarify.

There will be different conditions that will affect dice rolls. Point-blank shots aren't misses at all for instance. When you are fighting in close quarters, your rolls will have five units added to your RNG score regardless of conditions. Disorientation will be minus one to your roll at medium range and minus two at long range.
