Sounds like Kill la Kill. Why no post-apoc magic?

Because the magic is reserved for the mecha highschool RP I'm planning playing with in a hypothetical manner. Much too busy to make any other RP.

Aw...

Well, my post-apoc Magical Girl RP should be coming up soon. Just need to set up my laptop.

[Monocam]

Ok, I've re-wrote my OP.

The old Earth is gone, and a new rule has been established. Due to the economic disability of the world, a company called Wail Industries came to power by controlling the market.

In the beginning, Wail Industries was nothing more than a local lumber company. Owned by John Wails, it became the most efficient in the local area and quickly became the wealthiest. After buying the last of the lumber companies, Wail Industries became a lumber monopoly, generating millions of dollars a year. With all the wealth, Wail Industries moved on to mining and manufacturing. The first Wail brand was Wail TVs. The Wail brand became so popular the company took over the market. Soon, it became apparent the Wail Industries was becoming a monopoly, and it was taken to court. Wail was found innocent, but it was believed he paid off the court to rule in his favor.

After years, Wail Industries got into robotics, forming military grade drones for foreign and domestic forces.These robotic soldiers were feared and respected around the globe for their power. Eventually, when contact was made with extra-terrestrials, Wail Industries increased its military research. After a while, a fleet of warships, carrying mechanical soldiers, headed off for the newly discovered world of Neros.

Neros is a rocky wasteland, barely able to support life. It barely rains, temperatures are high, and barely any plants grow. However, the planet is rich in fossil fuels and metals. Wail Industries wants these for the wealth they provide. The problem is the native insect warriors, The Swarm.

The Swarm, as previously stated, are a warrior insect race that are native to Neros. They survive the dry and hot conditions by storing rain water in underground chambers and burrowing underground during the day. At night, the bugs come out and fight amongst each tribe. The Swarm are divided into tribes due to survival competions for water and space.

The Swarm are more primitive than Wail Industries, and no one on Earth can stop them due to how much the company contributes to the economy, so The Swarm are on their own. However, Earth military forces have tagged along with Wail Industries cargo ships that have been modified in order to arm and aid the natives in their fight against Wail Industries.

Any better?

Starlight ☆ Maidens
A fantasy Magical Girl RP Reboot

Magical girls... Paragons of light and justice... Since time immemorial, the Magical Girl orders have defended the land of Terra and beyond from all forms of evils that plague the world. The last standing remnants of human civilization in the Old World, these mana-powered warriors had struggled to resist the eternal wave of monstrous creatures that had devoured most of old Europa. Throughout it all, the orders established powerful city-states, the greatest of which, Asteripolis, stands at the center of their beloved realm. There, it quickly became the heart of a thriving community and trade hub, the envy of the greater world.

However, all is not well in the world, as the ancient orders prepare for the annual Asteria magical girl tournament. With unknown invaders amassing beyond its gates, few doubted it could be breached. But as time would show, the greatest threats come from within. As these magical warriors prepare for battle, the girls will face not just the twisted monsters of the night, but each other as well...

Synopsis

You will be playing a team of Magical Girls under one of the many proud orders of the Old World. Your mission is to defend your order and Terra from dark creatures, known as Shadows, which seeking to devour all that is good and holy without abandon. The upcoming Asteria tournament would be the perfect showcase of your prowess in combat. However, in a world plagued by creatures of the night, nothing can expect to go well in the world of Magical Girls...

World

World Map
(Pending update)

The year is 562 A.A. (Latin: Anno Amet, After Magic), 2014 C.E. in the old Gregorian calender. Terra, also known as Earth, is the homeland of the magical girl orders, with the city of Asteripolis (formerly Constantinople/Istanbul) as the capital of the new world. While the orders of Europe are given territorial control over one of the old cities in the region as their home bastion, those residing within Asteripolis are answerable to the elected Consul of the city. In addition to the magical girl orders, an all-male guard, called the Masked Protectors, act as the elite soldiers of Asteripolis, as well the Consul's guards. It is they who manage the administration and surveillance of the magical girl orders for dissent, not unlike a secret police.

Few knew what happened to the world before the arrival of magic and power levels. Documents and archaeological evidence dating back to the time of Old Europe pinned at a singular date, 29 May, 1 A.A. (1453 C.E.) the date of the Fall of Constantinople in our world. Unknown demonic creatures, known as Shadows, unexpectedly appeared in the midst of battle, devastated both the Ottoman and Byzantines and reducing Constantinople into a ruin. Known as the Cataclysm, the monsters soon spread across the Old World in a violent rampage, destroying most of European and Asian civilization with it. Only the sudden, perhaps miraculous arrival of the Magical Girls prevented humanity's total destruction as its survivors rallied around these young casters. How these warriors acquired the means to combat the Shadows remained steeped in mystery, obscured by tales of heroism and wonder.

Ok, I've re-wrote my OP.



Any better?

So the players are the military?

[The Empire of Pretantia]

Hell yeah! Making progress on my RP development. Right now I'm on the Imperial Guard of the Imperium of Man, otherwise known as the first out of sixteen galactic powers I shall detail in my RP, the other fifteen being the UEG(AKA the guys the UNSC work for), the Terran Federation(Starship Troopers+Starcraft), The Systems Alliance(ME), the Asari, the Turians, the Salarians, the Krogan, the Geth and Quarians (Put together), the Reapers, the Tau, the Necrons, the Eldar(including Dark), the Protoss, the Zerg, and the Covenant; and that's not counting extinct races. At least the IoM's the biggest.

[Monocam]

So the players are the military?

I already had a talk about this with Swith. I changed it again to where the nations in NATO are deciding whether to aid the Swarm or not, or too destroy Wail Industries or not. Players can play as a diplomat, a member of the Swarm, a hacker for Anonymous, or something else.

My suggestion then would just be to perhaps write up an IC post about your rp, to better place us in the world you've developed.

[Zarkenis Ultima]

So I decided to toss this idea out for the hell of it.

High Concept: Let's say people wandering the world that remained after an incomplete biblical apocalypse. Yes, that sounds mildly accurate.
Genre/s: I don't know, look below and judge yourself.
Detailed Description: So, there's the present day, okay? Or perhaps a few years into the future or what have you. Now, this world, it was designed with its end in mind. Aeons ago the Creator arranged the End with the Timeless Four, who then proceeded to slumber within Earth, awaiting the moment of its destruction. Back to the present day. The time is nigh... But it hasn't come yet. And it just so happens that a group of archeologists find an ancient structure buried beneath... I don't know. Australia. And they somehow, through sheer idiocy, manage to destroy the structure... And by association, the being sleeping within.

War.

When the End came, the remaining Timeless woke up... Only to find themselves lacking someone. Now let me tell you more about the End. The Creator, bless him, had arranged for the world to end with a bang, so to speak. There was to be a massive Endgame War of cosmological proportions.

But it never came, for obvious reasons.

Humanity didn't go out with a bang, but with a whimper. Pestilence plagued the land and Famine intensified, causing Death to claim millions as humanity stagnated, unable to go on. Demons led by the Shards of Lucifer spilled out onto the lands, while the wicked roamed the earth once again in unholy forms. The Angels fled from the Creator's world, believing the malfunctioning End to be an omen of worse things that were yet to come, leaving the world itself nearly defenseless and in utter turmoil, though the Creator did not complain, for he himself had long ago vanished. Time and space seemed to lose their meaning before this havoc, with strange energies entering the world. And one day, an enormous city, beautiful beyond words and yet shattered and incomplete, fell from the sky and crashed down onto the world, vanquishing everything below. Slowly but steadily, humanity was nearly purged from the face of Earth.

But Earth remained, and humans are known for their tenacity.

And so, in the ruins of a shattered world, where havoc was commonplace and demons and fallen thrived, life went on for mankind. It was tougher, but it was there.

Basically, the plot would be about the characters exploring this world while trying to find some way to restore it. It's the characters themselves I'm not entirely sure about. I don't know what to do with them. I could have them located on one of the cities that people managed to raise after the End, as citizens of that place, who venture out for whatever reason and find themselves implicated on some serious shit. My original plan was to have the Rapture malfunction instead of simply not happening, thus causing it to grab random people from around the present day (Or from before the End, rather), rather than believers, and toss them out somewhere in the world after the End, maybe Armaggedon itself.

So that's what I got. Suggestions are welcome, if anyone has any. Interest is appreciated too. Questions will be answered, if I have the answers.

Could you make the Zerg include some Rachni and Tyranid strains?

Otherwise GO TERRANS! (I demand a siege tank)

No god... No god, please no...

Also, can someone explain to me any issues in this and why it hasn't caught anyone's attention? ;-;

Good point, calling it two areas is pretty bad, especially considering Epsilon is pretty much a man-made planet, and could technically have many different areas.

EDIT: I did make some changes to allow more freedom to roam, and I am considering just making a new topic for it.

The rachni are their own race. I still need to explain why the Krogan had the Genophage. Of course, I could try... I got it.

You didn't list them so I wasn't sure.

Actually, the Zerg will be the reason the Krogans are uplifted in the first place instead of Rachni.

Are we crossing Starcraft with Mass Effect?

I'm afraid. But this could be awesome at the same time.

And with 40k.

I look forward to doing some distinctly evulzy things with the Necrons. The Necrons, that is, not the Newcrons.

It's a crossover of 40K, ME, SC, Halo, Starship Troopers, Dune, and Star Wars, with other franchises (Pacific Rim, GoW, Alien, Predator, etc.) involved in different arcs later down the line. It's not a simple crossover; I'm rewriting a lot to align the continuities of the different series. For example, no Warp from 40K. Instead, the Imperium uses Eezo like the rest of the galaxy (Including the Halo and SC nations), and the HH is caused directly by the unplanned end of the Great Crusade due to a treaty with the other powers.

Too bad, because I'm doing newcrons. You'll be able to play as a pariah though; I'll explain it in the Necron section.

I can work with that. Trollzyn is a fine character.

You'll all be the retinue of a Rogue Trader(Me), who explores the galaxy and fights people FOR THE EMPRAH. And, because there are no pesky gods, the Imperium is not a theocratic police state.
