RP's Overarching Concept: Non-Earthly humans from early medieval/viking-esque era get stuck on post-apocalyptic alien desert planet.
Genre/s: Sword and Planet, Planetary Romance, Science Fantasy, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Post-Apocalypse
Character or Faction Based: Character.Slight possibilty to partially turn faction after 10+ pages IC.
Detailed Description:

Pre-Medieval era tech planet is visited by supreme lightyear galaxy warping alien freaks. Alien freaks' crash spaceship and viking-esque village is heavily affected by residual science and stuff. Some people go out exploring reckage that is said to be sent by the gods. Explorers, adventurers, and such find a portal-ish portal in bottom of ship reckage. It is only non-damaged looking thing. Two people bump into each other and both trip into the portally thingy. Some jump in to try to save, or for adventure, or because they think it is a gateway to equivalent of heaven. They exit a portal similar, but upright and in a large building on a different world! The world they were sent to was the same place that the super advanced aliens in the crash were from, but they arrived in the post-apocalypse, the reason the aliens were leaving.(http://wallpoper.com/images/00/24/72/92/fantasy-landscapes_00247292.jpg) (Ignore pyramid and egyptian crap.)

Upon exploring they either die, get sold into slavery, adept to survive, or whatever. The group eventually gets split up into various smaller groups. Explore alien world, understand culture, learn language, experience extreme culture shock, fight war, get worshipped by some, hated by others.

You could maybe: Eventually save people of same group that got separated or not. Make peace among alien factions or become a warlord. Win the heart of beautiful (read rich) alien of opposite gender. Win the heart of fellow human. Betray everyone. Go insane. Commit genocide. Escape the alien moon (haha jk). Unite an empire. Really, the possibilities are endless.

*Plot has not been decided and might be completely player driven! (If I can get enough good RPers*

*Even if this does happen, it could be months until release.*

*May include some elements of worldbuilding, but I will do most to all of this.*

Need Help With:
-More ideas!
-Knowing if there is any interest? RPers that will stick around, and not get bored and leave randomly. If no interest I might make this into a collection of short stories or something.

It's interesting. Are you going to design on the fly or will you fully construct the setting prior to launch?

Loved the Worldwar series. I'd join if I had a life wasn't so damn busy with real world obligations.

[Alleniana]

"I'll pay the iron price for it."

But I want to see people squirm, watching Nazis and 'Murcans working together!
And the Poles, yeah, they'd definitely ally with the aliens. They might even get in a few rockets and poland can into space

Would you imagine it based around Europe and the happenings of WW2, or wider?

"It'll cost you extra."

The Soviets and the Nazis work together at one point, and the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto start working with the Aliens (on top of the Polish Home Army).

It's a really weird series. The Soviets get whooped. Berlin gets nuked. The Japanese are kicked out of China. The Americans lose the Mississippi River Valley. There's a long list. All in the first book...

That sounds pretty hectic.

Would you follow the storyline or just the general mood/theme?

[Chernopalye]

I have taken this out because I have decided rather to work on this on my own for a bit more and then I will put it into an OOC thread and see if people become attracted to my idea.

[Ouldale]

It's interesting. Are you going to design on the fly or will you fully construct the setting prior to launch?

Kinda in between. I have basics like geography, tech level, alien races, and the fact that it is an alien post-apocalyptic world, but everything else (religions, strange customs, factions, gender roles, race relations, and such) will most likely be decided in the IC posts, in a collabrative fashion.

A question; what will prevent the humans from just getting shot full of plasma or being regarded as some strange mutated beast to be hunted down for meat or something?

[Ouldale]

What will prevent the humans from just getting shot full of plasma or being regarded as some strange mutated beast to be hunted down for meat or something?

-The alien civilization never developed any sort of ranged weapons. They had a plethora of electricity-tinged spears, and what might appear from a distance to be kinda like light-sabers, but those are a thing of the past.
-The alien civilization is currently in a post-apocalypse, so all future tech doesn't work, and the aliens have digressed suprisingly since the lunar apocalypse. The aliens have resorted to building primitive weapons like their prehistoric ancestors or have scavenged through the broken down tech and taken metal rods, and similar makeshift weapons. As for being hunted down, that could very well happen! I'll make so that not all the aliens will try to eat them. Some might think of them as gods, the smarter ones might recognize that they are just aliens.

[The Ferret Revolution]

Ello, I've got a few ideas and I was wondering if I posted them if you guys would be willing to give me few opinions on which one(s) to use.

[Zarkenis Ultima]

Go ahead and post them, that's what the Café is for, input.

-Ah, I see. That would put any human with, say, a sling or a bow or a javelin at a huge advantage. I like it.
-Hmm. The hybrids here will be a lot of fun to play with.

[Enid Blyton]

Annyeong haseyong everybody!....I just created an RP in P2TM and before it garners up any interest (or IF it gets any interest) can some of the more experienced ones here give their two-cents on it? I just want to hear some opinions and hopefully get some useful applicable advice to make it better

viewtopic.php?f=31&t=310128

[Sentinel XV]

Whoah, I'm at a solid [10] right now but what about an RP with a "John Carter"-esque premise, where we undergo a "First Contact" with a species that does not approach us as an invader, but as one of the last alien species left in the known universe coming for our help. They tell us of the most advanced and highly aggressive of alien species has systemically wiped out all known species in the universe, and we find that most all other life in the universe had evolved to be extremely intelligent (i.e. capable of spacetravel, warps, etc.) but compared to the humans physically laughable. The only two species that had evolved to be physically strong and warlike were the Human race and a species of alien called the Xenites, who had been around for much longer than the life on Earth and as a result were not only reasonably physically capable, but also far more intelligent than the human race. As such, their unsustainable way of life (almost comparable to the human race's own current state of "advancement", as the aliens call it) had forced them to evolve great intellect in an extremely quick manner, to the point where they began to voraciously expand across the galaxy, dominating any other species they encountered in their galactic rampage and eventually driving them to extinction. The RP would revolve in an elite task force being established of the human race's greatest soldiers, tacticians, generals, and scientists. These people were nuclear and rocket scientists, international special operations units, and the most experienced and battle-hardened of generals. This squad -- which we would RP members of -- would return to the frontline with the species that had approached us. They, called the Eldiran, had established a line of "last defense" in a distant galaxy. Their need was dire: if this defensive line fell, the home planet of the Eldiran would be overtaken by the Xenite war machine, leaving the human race as the only sentient life form left in the universe to defend itself against the Xenite aggression. Because the human race was far less evolved and advanced than the Xenites, it would then have to defend itself -- alone -- against a force so unstoppable that it had singlehandedly destroyed all other life in the universe.

Just a Really High Idea™, would like feedback if it could be a decent RP topic.

The Path All Souls Shall Take
RP's Overarching Concept:: Essentially this takes place in an alternate history realm where Retrofuturism became reality thus creating a world in which the cold war is still ongoing. Amidst a mysterious viral outbreak within the United Kingdom the main characters from all over the world find their lives suddenly brought to an end by a mysterious all powerful force. They awake in Sheol (the abode of the dead) to discover the afterlife is far more complex than humanity actually knows.
Genre/s: Outbreak, Supernatural, Horror, Apocalyptic, Cosmological, Death, Religious Lore, Mythology, Fantasy, 20th century Retrofuturism, Dystopia, Afterlife, Alternate History
Character or Faction Based: Character
Detailed Description:

Nearly 14 billion years ago a lonely individual known as "The Creator" launched the spark the would collaborate the "Big Bang". From here the Creator created various realms starting first with Heaven. In Heaven, while it was paradise the Creator still felt lonely thus he created the "well of souls" which derived directly from him. Out of the well emerged his first children known as "The Eldest" (such as Life, Death, Creation, Decay), and many others who would manage much of the natural order for their father. As his firstborns split up into groups to fill out their various roles they became curious thus creating life with even more souls from the well. These souls while not as powerful became known as "Primordials" whose struggles while entertaining were a danger thus many of them went abut the universe carving out galaxies to rule. The Elohim (aka the "gods") spawned from the various affairs of the Primordials they were lesser on the power chain, but seemed content mostly to bicker over control of various planets. Soon many of various kind began to fill Heavens capital the White City.
--------
All was good in the Creators eyes therefore he began to work on creating something different. These beings were classified as "Celestial" ranging from angels on the low scale to the mighty Celestial council they were tasked with maintaining the realm of Heaven. They were granted a unique substance known as "grace" which supplied them with unique powers.

On one planet the Creator took special interest as life flourished, and the first of beings known as "Sapients" (mortals) began to form. The very first of them was the "Leviathan", reptilian beings which were very humanoid in appearance, and proved quite intelligent. Lucifer, a primordial being who was regarded well for his beauty, and ornate clothing which exemplified his appearance of light began to form thoughts. In visiting the Leviathans he became very self-loving, and petty demanding they grant favors to him in the form of offerings.

One day Heaven woke up to find the Throne of Heaven empty. At first unsure the residents of Heaven thought the Creator simply was gone only for a little while. After some time they realized he was not going to be back for some time. A scroll was all that was left detailing one day he would be back this became a sort of prophecy for them, thus they hoped. Unfortunately many others schemed including Lucifer. After years of sublime peace the primordial began to seek supporters to help him dominate the council of Heaven.
--------
Within time, Lucifer gather many of his fellow Primordials, a sum of the Elohim, and 1/3rd of Celestial host of Heaven. Soon a coup was attempted against the council of Heaven, and debates took center stage among the Celestial who to support. The 2/3rds of the Celestials remained with their council, and that of Heavens. The White City, erupted in fighting along with the rest of the universe. In one section of the universe the battle was so intense it destroyed the planets there, and caused many of the stars to begin disintegrate causing an area to form known as "The Outer Darkness".

From this dark abode rose the malevolent seven "the sins" great beings of unusual power especially in amplification of the negative. They considered Lucifer their father, and followed to him. On their path they amplified the genocidal qualities of the Leviathans a technologically superior race especially compared to many such as the Elves. They embarked on a genocidal conquest of many of the inhabited planets forming a great empire in the process. This strengthened Lucifer, and in the process made him even more corrupt. The sins arose victorious over a company of Celestial officers, and possessed them. This allowed them to reverse the grace within them creating a new substance they called "Damnation".
------
The end of the war looked to be in sight as the loyalist of Heaven were loosing, and many had lost hope, but were readying for a final stand to defend Heaven, and the White City. The sins blasted their Lucifer with an overcharge of "damnation" it had a horrid effect encasing the corrupted being of beauty within a massive armor of a Dragon like creature with multiple heads. This creature called "The Beast" by many eyewitnesses attacked Heaven busting through its defenses the battle was intense, and many lives were lost forcing their souls back into the Well.

The Beast rushed to the throne of Heaven, and defeated the host of Heaven. A general retreat was called, Heaven was lost to the Loyalists or so it seemed. The scroll left back those years began to lift up along with all the damage done. A blast of white light rushed through Heaven, and the White City repairing the damage done. It repelled the Beast, and his forces soon a powerful being came out stabbing through one of the heads injuring the Beast. This being was a brand new type of Celestial soon others like him appeared. A fatal slash across the chest of the Beast tore into its armor, and Lucifer fell out. His forces retreated out of Heaven to various strongholds across the universe.
----
This new type of Celestial revealed his name as Michael the others would soon follow shortly. They rushed immediately to Levarth, planet of the Leviathans and laid siege to it taking it within time. The weakened Lucifer put up a great struggle before being chained, and bound to be presented to the victorious army of Heaven. Another burst of light occurred, causing Lucifer's soul to be taken out of his body. Michael before letting the soul be purified in the Well of Souls decided to brand a standing set of marks to identify the soul from now on.

With Lucifer gone the Heavenly Civil War was over, and change had to be made to ensure order in the universe again. The Creator imprisoned the Seven Sins within the darkest depth of the Outer Darkness locking them in a type of cage in which only one key could open. To ensure the key remained hidden he entrusted it to a Celestial who immediately was taken to a developing planet. The planet had a barrier craft around it thus preventing the sins from ever finding it. Lucifer's body was frozen in a statue like state, and his power divided among seven Celestials who imbued it in relics from the war. They dispersed to different locations to hide the powerful relics from any ambitious seekers. The remaining Sapients who had not been killed were given one massive realm to live in known as "Summerset" among its residents the Dwarves, Elves, Giants, and Trolls who had survived the genocide by the Leviathans.

To the Leviathans they were not so lucky instead of destroying them however, and letting their souls simply go into the Well the Creator gathered all Leviathans from across the universe. They, and their planet Levarth were locked away in a realm known as Catharsis forever to be reminded of their crimes against the universe. For the dead their souls lie in wait in the well they were resurrected, and given a choice. The realm of Paradise was created for many of the souls, it served as a place where they would stay to live out there dreams, memories, and other things it could be described in many words, but one will suffice it was perfection. Many took this options, but some instead chose another realm. it was known as Gan Eden, for the moment since the first creation the souls of all extinct animals, and other species such as sapient's could live out their lives in a new chance here. Gan Eden had zones which stretched across all barriers of time thus allowing the various unique environments to sustain themselves as a model of what once was. It also prevented disturbances with the current environments living on the planets as well.
-------
The Creator would go on to establish several other realms to help restore the balance of the universe. Tartarus, a bleak landscape that served as the mirror opposite Heaven, and its famous White City was created to house the unrepentant souls of the fallen Primordials, Elohim, and Celestials. Gehenna, a prison realm was created with the intention of purifying souls it held to prepare them for release into the comforts of the afterlife. In Gehenna these souls had done things which required time to cleanse their soul of the corruption residing within them. The Creator sympathetic to his creations made the time here one of reflection which at best lasted a year. Some souls however would be driven mad thus only prolonging their stay.

While a great percentage of those who served Lucifer had repented something had to be done if only to prevent future conflict on such unregulated scale again. Avestia, was formed to cater to the Elohim who wished to go from Heavens bind it was used to keep them in one area rather than scattered, and hard to control like they had been before. In Avestia, the Elohim carved out several smaller realms such as Mt. Olympus or Asgard places which would house the Elohim, their spawn, the various champions, and other servants of them.

With this the Creator declared a new era or "the second era" of Creation in hopes of starting anew. Nevertheless, Heaven was irrevocably changed as the new Celestial group called Archangels took over they faced the challenge of shoring up the hosts numbers since the Creator sent the souls of repentant celestials back into the well to be reborn. Many of the Eldest would leave Heaven especially Death who would go onto found his own realm known as Sheol. True to his name this realm held the dead souls who were not worthy of Paradise, but did not need their souls to be purged of corruption within Gehenna. It serves as the midway point in the afterlife, and it can certainly be just as challenging.

Sheol is divided into circles by the most powerful of Death's servants known as Death Lord's (in some cases Ladies). Each circle represents a sin in which the soul is challenged against to win or fail. Each circle supports the Nether, the capital city of the realm it became filled with millions of souls as life flooded planets across the universe. To help with the flow of souls Death contracted the souls of those who died unjust or horrible deaths by imbuing them with power allowing the to become Reapers. They in many ways were independent of the Death Lords as they bothered not with the affairs of the land.
----------
The universe progressed in a somewhat peaceful existence until the end of era 6 that is. With this ending the Creator had announced the creation of a special planet he had been working on for some time. The Celestials were somewhat concerned, along with being impressed as well as they observed the planet Earth going from a chaotic mass to a lively planet. It took one tiny speck of unicellular life form, and the race launched off as the Creator become heavily involved in this one planet to the point it worried the Celestials. Rumors flooded the White City something big was coming, and that it was. To emphasize a point of universal redemption the Creator had spared several of the Leviathans who repented, thus allowing them to live in Heaven free from the isolation their brethren suffered.

These reformed souls would go on to occupy the bodies of the so called hairless apes as the Celestials mockingly jeered them. What humans today call the Garden of Eden was actually a portal on earth back to Gan Eden which the Creator placed within Mesopotamia. From here humanity was nurtured till one of the sins sent a soul which served them disguised in the form of a snake to trick them humans there into falling from the Creators grace. So the snake tricked eve, and in doing so Adam along with several others who partook of a cursed fruit which he gave them. The Creator found out due to the embarrassment they displayed at him thus exiled the snake from the garden. The Creator gave them a chance to leave the garden or they could forget the whole incident as if it never happened. Adam, and Eve stood tall took the others, and left leaving behind a portion of humanity within the garden. The seven celestials who had grown close to the creator ensured they could never get back in by following any remnants of the portal left behind as the garden disappeared to merge with Gan Eden.

On that day the throne room would never be filled again after some time the Celestials went into a panic with the Archangels not knowing what to do even going so far as wail for their father to come back to them. Eventually they started to scheme, and some celestials even went so far as to believe humanity was to blame for his absence. From then on certain people known as Prophets would be selected to represent the will of the Creator. Unfortunately false prophets also arose up, and the Elohim became greedy conniving their way onto earth to be worshipped as the founders of humanity. From where they could not war on Avestia they warred on earth for influence of the humans. Some even had the audacity to claim the need of human sacrifice or were supplied with virgins for their appetites of all kinds. To them humanity was nothing more than a tool.

Yahweh a commander within the host had become disdained of the vanity he saw within humanity thus he warned the current Prophet Noah of a massive flood. After some time the mad angel gathered sympathizers and committed genocide by flooding the planet. The Elohim were infuriated, but helpless against the wrath of Heaven. However seven celestials (angels) gathered together, and reversed the effects of the flood, and restored the dead planet to life. Most of the evidence was erased, and the minds of the souls who died wiped to prevent humanity from being aware. The angelic group disappeared before Heaven came against them.
------

Only partially realizing the errors of their ways Heaven continued to manipulate those of earth trying to control them, and the prophets rather than exterminate them. They came against the Egyptian Pantheon during the exodus, and killed many of them restricting them to Avestia weakening their influence severely. Yahweh became increasingly violent in his campaigns against the Canaanite pantheon especially Baal, and Ashtoreth.

A lot of the violence attribute to God aka the Creator is actually the fault of Yahweh all or most of the atrocities used to further the pantheon wars as they had become called. Some time later a mentally ill man in Roman Judea was used to spread his control further, and spelled the downfall for the Greek, and Roman Pantheons. Later on an violent man with a side of epilepsy who was married to a prophetess (his first wife) spread the religion even further thus allowing the Celestials more control.

Today the Pantheon Wars still continue, but many more factions have come into the play as the prophecy of the marked one still reverberates on earth. An apocalyptic end game is being prepared for which only can come out of the winner. Echidna a Primordial who was once the lover of Lucifer has corrupted many humans with offers of power or immortality turning them into beings far beyond human in most cases. These are the creatures of humanities nightmares they have many names but we can all classify them as monsters. Echidna's firstborn have spawned millions after them with many more than willing to serve as forces to dominate humanity.

The Sins meanwhile work with the residents of Tartarus to gather the souls of mortals to use for future use. One such mortal once a righteous man was offered the power to avenge his fallen lover in war. Unbeknownst after he conquered, and finished the war they came to claim him. He is now known as Legion the leader of the Corrupted (powerful souls imbued with corruption a lesser form of damnation). Legion has gather thousands of souls by tricking them into contracts. These souls form the Infernals, beings who bathe in the outer darkness after intense dehumanization they transform into powerful souls able to take on their opposites the Celestials to a point.
------

As the Infernals, and their allies look for the relics of Lucifer's power to activate the memories within the soul of the marked one, and restore Lucifer to his glory the earth goes on. This Earth alters severely because 20th century retro futurism is no longer the hold of comics, geeks, and those of nostalgic "what ifs?", but it is the reality of this world.

Meanwhile Sheol has begun to reverberate as the Gauntlet of Souls has dissapeared leading to choatic deaths all across the realms of mortals.

Need Help With: Pretty much a lot.

Well, you might want to elaborate on the factions of Seoul, as well as Aurora's faction and ReCrime, if only to give the world some more substance. Also, in your rules, it says three characters per RPer. Is that compulsory? You should probably clarify either way. .

Otherwise it looks good as far as I can see. Good job.

In visiting the Leviathans he became very self-loving, and petty demanding they grant favors to him in the form of offerings.

One day Heaven woke up to find the Throne of Heaven empty. At first unsure the residents of Heaven thought the Creator simply was gone only for a little while. After some time they realized he was not going to be back for some time. A scroll was all that was left detailing one day he would be back this became a sort of prophecy for them, thus they hoped. Unfortunately many others schemed including Lucifer. After years of sublime peace the primordial began to seek supporters to help him dominate the council of Heaven.
--------
Within time, Lucifer gather many of his fellow Primordials, a sum of the Elohim, and 1/3rd of Celestial host of Heaven. Soon a coup was attempted against the council of Heaven, and debates took center stage among the Celestial who to support. The 2/3rds of the Celestials remained with their council, and that of Heavens. The White City, erupted in fighting along with the rest of the universe. In one section of the universe the battle was so intense it destroyed the planets there, and caused many of the stars to begin disintegrate causing an area to form known as "The Outer Darkness".

From this dark abode rose the malevolent seven "the sins" great beings of unusual power especially in amplification of the negative. They considered Lucifer their father, and followed to him. On their path they amplified the genocidal qualities of the Leviathans a technologically superior race especially compared to many such as the Elves. They embarked on a genocidal conquest of many of the inhabited planets forming a great empire in the process. This strengthened Lucifer, and in the process made him even more corrupt. The sins arose victorious over a company of Celestial officers, and possessed them. This allowed them to reverse the grace within them creating a new substance they called "Damnation".
------
The end of the war looked to be in sight as the loyalist of Heaven were loosing, and many had lost hope, but were readying for a final stand to defend Heaven, and the White City. The sins blasted their Lucifer with an overcharge of "damnation" it had a horrid effect encasing the corrupted being of beauty within a massive armor of a Dragon like creature with multiple heads. This creature called "The Beast" by many eyewitnesses attacked Heaven busting through its defenses the battle was intense, and many lives were lost forcing their souls back into the Well.

The Beast rushed to the throne of Heaven, and defeated the host of Heaven. A general retreat was called, Heaven was lost to the Loyalists or so it seemed. The scroll left back those years began to lift up along with all the damage done. A blast of white light rushed through Heaven, and the White City repairing the damage done. It repelled the Beast, and his forces soon a powerful being came out stabbing through one of the heads injuring the Beast. This being was a brand new type of Celestial soon others like him appeared. A fatal slash across the chest of the Beast tore into its armor, and Lucifer fell out. His forces retreated out of Heaven to various strongholds across the universe.
----
This new type of Celestial revealed his name as Michael the others would soon follow shortly. They rushed immediately to Levarth, planet of the Leviathans and laid siege to it taking it within time. The weakened Lucifer put up a great struggle before being chained, and bound to be presented to the victorious army of Heaven. Another burst of light occurred, causing Lucifer's soul to be taken out of his body. Michael before letting the soul be purified in the Well of Souls decided to brand a standing set of marks to identify the soul from now on.

With Lucifer gone the Heavenly Civil War was over, and change had to be made to ensure order in the universe again. The Creator imprisoned the Seven Sins within the darkest depth of the Outer Darkness locking them in a type of cage in which only one key could open. To ensure the key remained hidden he entrusted it to a Celestial who immediately was taken to a developing planet. The planet had a barrier craft around it thus preventing the sins from ever finding it. Lucifer's body was frozen in a statue like state, and his power divided among seven Celestials who imbued it in relics from the war. They dispersed to different locations to hide the powerful relics from any ambitious seekers. The remaining Sapients who had not been killed were given one massive realm to live in known as "Summerset" among its residents the Dwarves, Elves, Giants, and Trolls who had survived the genocide by the Leviathans.

To the Leviathans they were not so lucky instead of destroying them however, and letting their souls simply go into the Well the Creator gathered all Leviathans from across the universe. They, and their planet Levarth were locked away in a realm known as Catharsis forever to be reminded of their crimes against the universe. For the dead their souls lie in wait in the well they were resurrected, and given a choice. The realm of Paradise was created for many of the souls, it served as a place where they would stay to live out there dreams, memories, and other things it could be described in many words, but one will suffice it was perfection. Many took this options, but some instead chose another realm. it was known as Gan Eden, for the moment since the first creation the souls of all extinct animals, and other species such as sapient's could live out their lives in a new chance here. Gan Eden had zones which stretched across all barriers of time thus allowing the various unique environments to sustain themselves as a model of what once was. It also prevented disturbances with the current environments living on the planets as well.
-------
The Creator would go on to establish several other realms to help restore the balance of the universe. Tartarus, a bleak landscape that served as the mirror opposite Heaven, and its famous White City was created to house the unrepentant souls of the fallen Primordials, Elohim, and Celestials. Gehenna, a prison realm was created with the intention of purifying souls it held to prepare them for release into the comforts of the afterlife. In Gehenna these souls had done things which required time to cleanse their soul of the corruption residing within them. The Creator sympathetic to his creations made the time here one of reflection which at best lasted a year. Some souls however would be driven mad thus only prolonging their stay.

While a great percentage of those who served Lucifer had repented something had to be done if only to prevent future conflict on such unregulated scale again. Avestia, was formed to cater to the Elohim who wished to go from Heavens bind it was used to keep them in one area rather than scattered, and hard to control like they had been before. In Avestia, the Elohim carved out several smaller realms such as Mt. Olympus or Asgard places which would house the Elohim, their spawn, the various champions, and other servants of them.

With this the Creator declared a new era or "the second era" of Creation in hopes of starting anew. Nevertheless, Heaven was irrevocably changed as the new Celestial group called Archangels took over they faced the challenge of shoring up the hosts numbers since the Creator sent the souls of repentant celestials back into the well to be reborn. Many of the Eldest would leave Heaven especially Death who would go onto found his own realm known as Sheol. True to his name this realm held the dead souls who were not worthy of Paradise, but did not need their souls to be purged of corruption within Gehenna. It serves as the midway point in the afterlife, and it can certainly be just as challenging.

Sheol is divided into circles by the most powerful of Death's servants known as Death Lord's (in some cases Ladies). Each circle represents a sin in which the soul is challenged against to win or fail. Each circle supports the Nether, the capital city of the realm it became filled with millions of souls as life flooded planets across the universe. To help with the flow of souls Death contracted the souls of those who died unjust or horrible deaths by imbuing them with power allowing the to become Reapers. They in many ways were independent of the Death Lords as they bothered not with the affairs of the land.
----------
The universe progressed in a somewhat peaceful existence until the end of era 6 that is. With this ending the Creator had announced the creation of a special planet he had been working on for some time. The Celestials were somewhat concerned, along with being impressed as well as they observed the planet Earth going from a chaotic mass to a lively planet. It took one tiny speck of unicellular life form, and the race launched off as the Creator become heavily involved in this one planet to the point it worried the Celestials. Rumors flooded the White City something big was coming, and that it was. To emphasize a point of universal redemption the Creator had spared several of the Leviathans who repented, thus allowing them to live in Heaven free from the isolation their brethren suffered.

These reformed souls would go on to occupy the bodies of the so called hairless apes as the Celestials mockingly jeered them. What humans today call the Garden of Eden was actually a portal on earth back to Gan Eden which the Creator placed within Mesopotamia. From here humanity was nurtured till one of the sins sent a soul which served them disguised in the form of a snake to trick them humans there into falling from the Creators grace. So the snake tricked eve, and in doing so Adam along with several others who partook of a cursed fruit which he gave them. The Creator found out due to the embarrassment they displayed at him thus exiled the snake from the garden. The Creator gave them a chance to leave the garden or they could forget the whole incident as if it never happened. Adam, and Eve stood tall took the others, and left leaving behind a portion of humanity within the garden. The seven celestials who had grown close to the creator ensured they could never get back in by following any remnants of the portal left behind as the garden disappeared to merge with Gan Eden.

On that day the throne room would never be filled again after some time the Celestials went into a panic with the Archangels not knowing what to do even going so far as wail for their father to come back to them. Eventually they started to scheme, and some celestials even went so far as to believe humanity was to blame for his absence. From then on certain people known as Prophets would be selected to represent the will of the Creator. Unfortunately false prophets also arose up, and the Elohim became greedy conniving their way onto earth to be worshipped as the founders of humanity. From where they could not war on Avestia they warred on earth for influence of the humans. Some even had the audacity to claim the need of human sacrifice or were supplied with virgins for their appetites of all kinds. To them humanity was nothing more than a tool.

Yahweh a commander within the host had become disdained of the vanity he saw within humanity thus he warned the current Prophet Noah of a massive flood. After some time the mad angel gathered sympathizers and committed genocide by flooding the planet. The Elohim were infuriated, but helpless against the wrath of Heaven. However seven celestials (angels) gathered together, and reversed the effects of the flood, and restored the dead planet to life. Most of the evidence was erased, and the minds of the souls who died wiped to prevent humanity from being aware. The angelic group disappeared before Heaven came against them.
------

Only partially realizing the errors of their ways Heaven continued to manipulate those of earth trying to control them, and the prophets rather than exterminate them. They came against the Egyptian Pantheon during the exodus, and killed many of them restricting them to Avestia weakening their influence severely. Yahweh became increasingly violent in his campaigns against the Canaanite pantheon especially Baal, and Ashtoreth.

A lot of the violence attribute to God aka the Creator is actually the fault of Yahweh all or most of the atrocities used to further the pantheon wars as they had become called. Some time later a mentally ill man in Roman Judea was used to spread his control further, and spelled the downfall for the Greek, and Roman Pantheons. Later on an violent man with a side of epilepsy who was married to a prophetess (his first wife) spread the religion even further thus allowing the Celestials more control.

Today the Pantheon Wars still continue, but many more factions have come into the play as the prophecy of the marked one still reverberates on earth. An apocalyptic end game is being prepared for which only can come out of the winner. Echidna a Primordial who was once the lover of Lucifer has corrupted many humans with offers of power or immortality turning them into beings far beyond human in most cases. These are the creatures of humanities nightmares they have many names but we can all classify them as monsters. Echidna's firstborn have spawned millions after them with many more than willing to serve as forces to dominate humanity.

The Sins meanwhile work with the residents of Tartarus to gather the souls of mortals to use for future use. One such mortal once a righteous man was offered the power to avenge his fallen lover in war. Unbeknownst after he conquered, and finished the war they came to claim him. He is now known as Legion the leader of the Corrupted (powerful souls imbued with corruption a lesser form of damnation). Legion has gather thousands of souls by tricking them into contracts. These souls form the Infernals, beings who bathe in the outer darkness after intense dehumanization they transform into powerful souls able to take on their opposites the Celestials to a point.
------

As the Infernals, and their allies look for the relics of Lucifer's power to activate the memories within the soul of the marked one, and restore Lucifer to his glory the earth goes on. This Earth alters severely because 20th century retro futurism is no longer the hold of comics, geeks, and those of nostalgic "what ifs?", but it is the reality of this world.

Meanwhile Sheol has begun to reverberate as the Gauntlet of Souls has dissapeared leading to choatic deaths all across the realms of mortals.

Need Help With: Pretty much a lot.

#Mentorhelp

This looks pretty interesting. What exactly do you need help with though? And what will the players be doing during the RP?

[Escalan Corps-Star Island]

Whoah, I'm at a solid [10] right now but what about an RP with a "John Carter"-esque premise, where we undergo a "First Contact" with a species that does not approach us as an invader, but as one of the last alien species left in the known universe coming for our help. They tell us of the most advanced and highly aggressive of alien species has systemically wiped out all known species in the universe, and we find that most all other life in the universe had evolved to be extremely intelligent (i.e. capable of spacetravel, warps, etc.) but compared to the humans physically laughable. The only two species that had evolved to be physically strong and warlike were the Human race and a species of alien called the Xenites, who had been around for much longer than the life on Earth and as a result were not only reasonably physically capable, but also far more intelligent than the human race. As such, their unsustainable way of life (almost comparable to the human race's own current state of "advancement", as the aliens call it) had forced them to evolve great intellect in an extremely quick manner, to the point where they began to voraciously expand across the galaxy, dominating any other species they encountered in their galactic rampage and eventually driving them to extinction. The RP would revolve in an elite task force being established of the human race's greatest soldiers, tacticians, generals, and scientists. These people were nuclear and rocket scientists, international special operations units, and the most experienced and battle-hardened of generals. This squad -- which we would RP members of -- would return to the frontline with the species that had approached us. They, called the Eldiran, had established a line of "last defense" in a distant galaxy. Their need was dire: if this defensive line fell, the home planet of the Eldiran would be overtaken by the Xenite war machine, leaving the human race as the only sentient life form left in the universe to defend itself against the Xenite aggression. Because the human race was far less evolved and advanced than the Xenites, it would then have to defend itself -- alone -- against a force so unstoppable that it had singlehandedly destroyed all other life in the universe.

Just a Really High Idea™, would like feedback if it could be a decent RP topic.

This is fascinating. What sort of technology are we talking about? (i.e. type of FTL drive, weaponry, general capacity of humans to violate the Standard Model of physics)

Seems like it'd make a fun RP.

One could perhaps play with the alien-human differences at a more mental level as well. IE: the aliens coming to humanity for help are lacking a 'killer instinct' or such that humanity and the Xenites do have, whereas theirs is more limited or perhaps just so socially frowned upon that those who can commit such violence aren't considered all that 'sane' by the alien standards.

Throw in a dashing of political motivations by the aliens for spice (what war story is complete without bumbling politicians who just want to manipulate it to their own ends?), some explanation for why the Eldiran hadn't contacted humanity sooner (perhaps they think WE'RE just as batshit insane as the Xendira are and it's a case of 'lesser of two evils' for them?), and...well I'm sure there's other things that could be thrown in but that's all getting very specific.

Definitely think it could make a good RP. Might have to devise a system of limiting the 'Space-Marine' superstrength madness that could come in applications, though.

Annyeong haseyong everybody!....I just created an RP in P2TM and before it garners up any interest (or IF it gets any interest) can some of the more experienced ones here give their two-cents on it? I just want to hear some opinions and hopefully get some useful applicable advice to make it better

http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic ... 1&t=310128

Well, you might want to elaborate on the factions of Seoul, as well as Aurora's faction and ReCrime, if only to give the world some more substance. Also, in your rules, it says three characters per RPer. Is that compulsory? You should probably clarify either way. .

Otherwise it looks good as far as I can see. Good job.

The Path All Souls Shall Take
RP's Overarching Concept:: Essentially this takes place in an alternate history realm where Retrofuturism became reality thus creating a world in which the cold war is still ongoing. Amidst a mysterious viral outbreak within the United Kingdom the main characters from all over the world find their lives suddenly brought to an end by a mysterious all powerful force. They awake in Sheol (the abode of the dead) to discover the afterlife is far more complex than humanity actually knows.

Detailed Description:

Nearly 14 billion years ago a lonely individual known as "The Creator" launched the spark the would collaborate the "Big Bang". From here the Creator created various realms starting first with Heaven. In Heaven, while it was paradise the Creator still felt lonely thus he created the "well of souls" which derived directly from him. Out of the well emerged his first children known as "The Eldest" (such as Life, Death, Creation, Decay), and many others who would manage much of the natural order for their father. As his firstborns split up into groups to fill out their various roles they became curious thus creating life with even more souls from the well. These souls while not as powerful became known as "Primordials" whose struggles while entertaining were a danger thus many of them went abut the universe carving out galaxies to rule. The Elohim (aka the "gods") spawned from the various affairs of the Primordials they were lesser on the power chain, but seemed content mostly to bicker over control of various planets. Soon many of various kind began to fill Heavens capital the White City.
--------
All was good in the Creators eyes therefore he began to work on creating something different. These beings were classified as "Celestial" ranging from angels on the low scale to the mighty Celestial council they were tasked with maintaining the realm of Heaven. They were granted a unique substance known as "grace" which supplied them with unique powers.

On one planet the Creator took special interest as life flourished, and the first of beings known as "Sapients" (mortals) began to form. The very first of them was the "Leviathan", reptilian beings which were very humanoid in appearance, and proved quite intelligent. Lucifer, a primordial being who was regarded well for his beauty, and ornate clothing which exemplified his appearance of light began to form thoughts. In visiting the Leviathans he became very self-loving, and petty demanding they grant favors to him in the form of offerings.

One day Heaven woke up to find the Throne of Heaven empty. At first unsure the residents of Heaven thought the Creator simply was gone only for a little while. After some time they realized he was not going to be back for some time. A scroll was all that was left detailing one day he would be back this became a sort of prophecy for them, thus they hoped. Unfortunately many others schemed including Lucifer. After years of sublime peace the primordial began to seek supporters to help him dominate the council of Heaven.

Soon a coup was attempted against the council of Heaven, and debates took center stage among the Celestial who to support.

In one section of the universe the battle was so intense it destroyed the planets there, and caused many of the stars to begin disintegrate causing an area to form known as "The Outer Darkness".

From this dark abode rose the malevolent seven "the sins" great beings of unusual power especially in amplification of the negative. They considered Lucifer their father, and followed to him. On their path they amplified the genocidal qualities of the Leviathans a technologically superior race especially compared to many such as the Elves.

The Sins meanwhile work with the residents of Tartarus to gather the souls of mortals to use for future use. One such mortal once a righteous man was offered the power to avenge his fallen lover in war. Unbeknownst after he conquered, and finished the war they came to claim him. He is now known as Legion the leader of the Corrupted (powerful souls imbued with corruption a lesser form of damnation). Legion has gather thousands of souls by tricking them into contracts. These souls form the Infernals, beings who bathe in the outer darkness after intense dehumanization they transform into powerful souls able to take on their opposites the Celestials to a point.

As the Infernals, and their allies look for the relics of Lucifer's power to activate the memories within the soul of the marked one, and restore Lucifer to his glory the earth goes on. This Earth alters severely because 20th century retro futurism is no longer the hold of comics, geeks, and those of nostalgic "what ifs?", but it is the reality of this world.

Meanwhile Sheol has begun to reverberate as the Gauntlet of Souls has dissapeared leading to choatic deaths all across the realms of mortals.

Need Help With: Pretty much a lot.

This looks pretty interesting. What exactly do you need help with though? And what will the players be doing during the RP?

Essentially players are going to die, and be taken by the reapers to Sheol. I want people of various backgrounds, and whatnot to be thrown into a chaotic situation. Their souls are not ethereal beings as often told about, instead the souls in Sheol have physical bodies thus they can feel what happens to said physical body. Back a long time ago Fate, and Death fused some of their power together in an enchanted hourglass turning into into a mechanism for which the Reapers, and the children of Fate work.

The gauntlet while stolen, has not severed the links of those who work with it. Instead it is being manipulated to force the children of fate to arrange, and carry out deaths causing the reapers to have to escort far more souls than normal. It is causing chaotic ripples to go throughout the realms.

This manipulation is flooding Sheol with souls that can be used for many purposes or possibly forge their own destiny. Echidna's vengeful turned the monsters are residing here in the millions cursed to stay in this realm until they begin to free themselves of their "mothers" impurity. Normally they follow pack mentality's especially toward hunting the other souls in the realm, but something has caused them to organize into hordes, and tear apart the realm

The Death Lords squabble over petty affairs, and factions while some plot treason against their master Death. The Cult of the Marked One has begun to spread its message across the realm seeking not only to recruit souls for the legions of corruption to serve their masters the Infernals, but find the location relics which hold the power of Lucifer.

Bit of a strange question, but I quite like writing the background for rps but I rarely have the time to be active enough to play the game master, if you will. So what I was thinking of doing was, if anyone is interested, writing some rps and letting other people use these ideas and they can run them.

oops my hand slipped

Annyeong haseyong everybody!....I just created an RP in P2TM and before it garners up any interest (or IF it gets any interest) can some of the more experienced ones here give their two-cents on it? I just want to hear some opinions and hopefully get some useful applicable advice to make it better

Probably won't join, but must say, seems interesting.

This will either become the most colossal idea dumping ground in history, or drop into oblivion.
