Of Men & Titans: Past Discovery (Working Title)

It has been five years (now 2022) since the authoritarian world government, known as “The Order”, was overthrown by various global rebellions that occurred in the same time frame that accumulated in revolution and the disbandment of the world order. New governments would rise and so would the desire to learn about the past of the land they inhabit to create national identities. Governments incentivized people to find anything they can about the history which would lead to the creation of the History Hunters, a job that specializes in doing exactly that. Almost overnight, various types of business sprang up around the idea, gathering people willing to find and eager to learn about the histories long suppressed by “The Order.” One such business was the Past Discovery International Agency, a small company composed of roughly 500 employees, more than half of which are deployed on the field all over the world, based somewhere in the URA. In one particular case, a team was sent to down to the nation of Poland to help its fledgling government in building its national identity.

A nation finding itself between the massive landmass of Russia and Franco-Germany, it struggles to keep out outer influences from the two nations. Hoping that knowing it’s history would help the population grow to be more patriotic, they hired the Past Discovery International Agency and several other History Hunter businesses to aid in that endeavor. Already gaining the ire of the local History Hunters, it hasn't been a particularly easy task as all around for the PDIA, with the country seems to be preparing for war.

Luckily (or unluckily) for you, you were one of the employees chosen to work over in Europe, whether it be for your experience, powers, or other reasons. Amongst the old and new faces of the company, it is your job to find any substantial evidence that can help in developing a stronger tie to the past, before the Order took over. At the same time avoiding and resolving any problems that come your way, which may range from facing sabotage from rival companies to making sure you don't get involved in the politics around the country. After all, you are not a superhero but a private citizen that is employed by the PDIA. Good luck and stay safe out there!

General Rules:

• My word is law and therefore must be obeyed once I have finalized it. The same goes for any Co-OP I might have, unless I say so otherwise. I am for the most part a very lenient OP, but should you break the rules I have established or did not discuss them with me, I will boot you out of the RP, no questions.
• No controlling other characters but your own, no using of OOC information to give benefits to any character, and your character can get hurt and die. There will be no absolutely invincible characters, they for the most part make for poor characters and are often nothing more than a monkey in the wrench for the plots that develop in the IC. And should your character do something idiotic, I will roll an online twenty-sided die to determine the fate of your character. A great example is taking on a tank which has infantry support by yourself, without the abilities or skill to survive it.
• Despite the fantastical nature of the setting, there will be a semblance of realism here. That means, unless your character has the ability to create a hammerspace, cannot carry an inordinate amount of munition and weapons.
• I find it acceptable for your character to act like an asshole, but that doesn’t mean you can be. In other words, no being an asshole in the OOC. Calm and controlled discussion is fine on the, but an argument that devolves into petty shit (name calling, personal attacks, etc.) is not. If you have one, TG or use another form of messaging.
• One/Two-Liners are unacceptable, as such, all post must be at least compose of three sentences. Preferably though, a post should be five sentences at least, but I’ll let three to four liners slide. Usually though, if they’re that short, you can always add more details in general.
• Any rules that come after this holds the same weight as the previous rules. Follow them like all of them and all should be fine.
• I will only accept players and applications who have read the entirety of the rules, as signifies that they are less likely to break them. Now to get the proof or best chance of proof, read the hashtags at the bottom of the example application and paste them at the bottom of your application.

Character and Power Rules:

• Please consider using this guideline (in regards to those appropriate for this RP) when making your character. Another suggestion for a resource to be used is the Superpower Wiki when looking for powers or ideas for such. Lastly, there is one power that will be immediately rejected from participating within the RP, and that is Immortality. Mind you, not all kinds of immortality, something like Partial Immortality or Semi-Immortality is negotiable. In the event where you can find the powers in the provided resource, simply ask me directly and we'll discuss it.
• Looking at weaknesses, I just have to say that I love character flaws. I think every character should have at least one, but that's not a proper weakness for a power, especially if its a strong power. Even the strongest superpowered character had something that could take them down, main example is Superman which was pretty much a god was susceptible to being weakened or be killed by Kryptonite. Give your character's powers have a weakness or limitation of sorts.

While the term 'History Hunters' brings to me memories of 90s point and click edutainment I'm not complaining ^_^ This is awesome work.

[Rynagria]

The idea seems sound enough, interesting even. Many people I’m sure would be more than happy in being in this story.

What exactly needs to be reigned in from your previous call for participation?

Are you on Discord?

Mainly we are trying to

*Flesh out Gotham Prime, the tentative name for the Gotham in which the RP takes place.

*Set guidelines for characters, they will be street level as the norm, more powerful characters must have equal suitable flaws. No characters able to benchpress the entire planet for instance (looking at you Supes), they must have a connection to Gotham or characters in Gotham, must fit with Gotham and Batman, etc



The idea is less than a day old but it can grow, we don't even have a full premise yet, just the idea.

Any thoughts?

EDIT:

Premise idea

Gotham, has never been the most peaceful of places, it once boasted a crime rate higher than the combined sums of many other cities known for their crime. Batman rose up to combat the injustice and corruption in Gotham, over the years he has recruited others to help, some have donned a costume others work within the rules. Gotham has changed as Batman has fought, most criminals fear him, others those greater than the rest view him as a challenge and an annoyance.

What if things were different, what if Batman were someone else, what if a villain like Poison Ivy was not a villain but a hero or the Mayor of Gotham perhaps. For nearly every choice made there are countless divergent dimensions or timelines produced. All of Gothams inhabitants, Capes, Crooks, and Bystanders alike have each had to make choices, choices which have caused Divergent realities to form.

Well what do you mean by building the city? Can you elaborate on that? In terms of what you want the characters to be, it seems good and solid, just fill any cracks you see and you’ll be set there.

Thoughts on this for anybody interested?

While the term 'History Hunters' brings to me memories of 90s point and click edutainment I'm not complaining ^_^ This is awesome work.

I thank you for the compliment. I might do something add some thing to the character rule about characters being grandfathered. So if a returning character wants to be involved in the RP, they can which sort of makes them protected from the rules to a certain degree. Although I’m doubtful on many returning characters or players from the past...

But yeah it’s almost ready, I just need to finish the example application, I think.

EDIT:

Premise idea

Gotham, has never been the most peaceful of places, it once boasted a crime rate higher than the combined sums of many other cities known for their crime. Batman rose up to combat the injustice and corruption in Gotham, over the years he has recruited others to help, some have donned a costume others work within the rules. Gotham has changed as Batman has fought, most criminals fear him, others those greater than the rest view him as a challenge and an annoyance.

What if things were different, what if Batman were someone else, what if a villain like Poison Ivy was not a villain but a hero or the Mayor of Gotham perhaps. For nearly every choice made there are countless divergent dimensions or timelines produced. All of Gothams inhabitants, Capes, Crooks, and Bystanders alike have each had to make choices, choices which have caused Divergent realities to form.

Well what do you mean by building the city? Can you elaborate on that? In terms of what you want the characters to be, it seems good and solid, just fill any cracks you see and you’ll be set there.

I can't see any characters from past RPs being involved except Mosely or the former MI6 character from Book One. Other then them, and Damien, our characters are largely Asian or North American based.

By building the city I meant setting up Gotham Prime. Harb and i have decided that Gotham Prime will be more traditional as in BAtman has only been Batman a couple years, Dick Grayson is just starting out, etc.

I had been indecisive about how the cahracters would be but i think i am going to set up the Prime characters as basic templates which can be changed by players to a point as needed.

I thought about my characters and really the only one I'd be willing to bring in would be Myra but due to the era I wouldn't be able to (her still considered Human back then and going to a normal school in an emerging Japan). Plus even if that wasn't the case for the the era, it'd mean that she neither became a teacher nor succeeded in business- and I don't think she really strikes one as a writer. Still Europe would give her answers regarding her- origins so to speak... but the image of the Hora would be in her mind. Maybe she'd- her future is something to ponder.

I could maybe do a Cressen character- from Franco-Germany- in Poland- during this era of high tension. I don't think having a character from another series return is needed for this installment- but if you want to establish some connection that's an example of family ties being used for that.

It would be pretty interesting to see what has become of the Cressen in the post-Order era, like whether they are fallen nobility or still retain some degree of influence.

To All Titans

I'd- like to do a group project regarding a redesign of Sauria- not so much world building as 'let's come up with some characters and interact'. I really like the setting- I do- and I'm still working on the CYOA thread- slowly (12 messages to respond to and write).

I just- want to be in that setting again- RP in it- meet people. But I don't manage slice of life RPs very well.

[Morrallia]

I know you're working hard, Harb. That cyoa is coming along slowly but surely. I'd be down to discuss something in that setting if you have a discord.

[Harbertia]

I know you're working hard, Harb. That cyoa is coming along slowly but surely. I'd be down to discuss something in that setting if you have a discord.

I do I'll send you the name so we can get connected and start conversing. I'm heading off to work soon (it's 6:35 here but only a brief walk to my work) so if you get on before I'm back go ahead and start the conversation and I'll join it upon my return I'm looking forward to this.

CYOA thread?

I started a Choose Your Own Adventure here on NS that takes place on the planet Sauria. It's a deutagonist adventure following the Hala the Saurian and her Human guest John. Players vote on a poll for what John or Hala should do next in an alternating fashion. If last poll was about John's next action the one following it will be Hala's next action. It's been great for exploring life in the setting and I'm enjoying it- but this coming post is very long and I now have two jobs (my shop and a 7-3:30 job from Mon-Fri). Looking at the poll you can see why it's going to be a long post, as in the case of a tie I do both options.

[Harbertia]

I created a discord for the group; who wants to join? Also looks like I'll be the next one to post the Titans RPG Group thread on NS.

[Rynagria]
