The Swarm; Starting over from scratch.

[Rynmaru]

So with a few already interested in the RP, I should take the time now to plant this here. I have idea's that I will share, and you are welcome to ask questions all you want. However, before I get to that, I would like to hear what you have to say on things.


The few things I will say now is that this will be located on another planet (Not earth) and that the energy needed to fuel anything and everything is leaking at a constant unstopping pace from the planet itself. This energy source however, also mutates the insects that we also bring with us. I will reveal these in time.


Also, seeing as the energy is leaking out of the earth, it fuels everything we do, including guns and vehicles. It's almost like it electricity and/or oil were to just be a gas on earth that was filtered into cars and phones and things as we used them never needing to refuel, recharge, or reload. This could effect the humans on the planet as well, giving us extra abilities that we would otherwise never have.


I will have set limits of these later on, to accompany the story and enemies to be included, as well as closely monitoring items and things that will be allowed.


What do you think? Got idea's for enemies? story? etc? Lemme know

 

[Kameil]

A team of mercenaries are sent to harness the leaking energy to use for their own benefit but have the nation military and the insects trying to stop them?

 

[Grey]

That's kind of a neat idea for functional magic.


Do you yet have any ideas about major themes and the tone? Anime-tier high-flying action, I assume, or is it meant to be a little harder and grittier?

 

[Rynmaru]

Interesting idea Kameil, and a bit grittier grey. I want it to feel like something we have to work for and keep going in order to enjoy. I don't want a one hit wonder that can be finished in the first post.

 

[Kameil]

hmmm let me think I still like the idea of having a nation militia against you and still having the insect to fight as well so lemme brainstorm for a minute and im getting ready to post enemy suggestions


 
possibly a team that is trying to take down the national government to fix the leaking problem and stop the reign if a tyrant.

 

[Grey]

How recently was the planet colonized?


That'll affect how dramatically tech will have advanced. What kind of mutations would the energy leakage induce in humans? We they subject to any genetic tinkering before leaving Earth? Any cybernetics?


Are there hard limits on how much the energy can achieve? Limitless free energy can result in a post-scarcity society that rapidly ceases to endure any sort of internal conflict.

Thinking of the nation Military being sorta like these
