The Catalyst: The Rule of the Ragged King

Back on earth, every culture had different names for them. Some called them spirits, phantoms, demons, ancestors, or any plethora of names. Yet, the colonists have taken to simply referring to them as the "presence". They started popping up over a decade ago, and now have become a common occurrence. We didn't know what to make of these beings at first, but some believe it is a sign of things greater to come. They populated the fringe as a nuisance at first.

Messing with objects, scaring people, haunting buildings, and making the scary stories we told our children. Now it's like with every passing year they are growing in number, and some of them are getting angrier. About two years ago one of our scientists realized the truth. These things aren't extraterrestrial lifeforms, but us...something is trapping us here when we die. To make matters complicated Earth went silent back in 1986, and the other colonies are too far away to be of any meaningful help. We are out here all alone, a planet of a million people with nowhere to go within our lifetime.

The government doesn't want to abandon the planet either. Its a remarkable success story of rapid terraformation, and to make matters complicated we don't exactly have enough ships for one million people. So some have taken to simply mass-producing drugs to negate the more disturbing aspects of the presence. Most citizens are too doped up to notice the color of the planet has shifted to black and white or that the night cycle lasts twice as long as day resulting in automated greenhouses keeping our agricultural output from total collapse. As of now, 97% of the planet is suffering from some symptoms of a variety of mental illnesses, and all we can do is dispense emotion or stability pills to make things slightly better for them.

Our people are going to bed, and not waking up. The morgues are filling up day by day with a sprinkling of people, but our scientists estimate in four years every single human on the planet will be dead. Yet, all hope isn't lost as some come back from death they are changed by their experience. They have access to unnatural abilities that science cannot explain, and maybe the light in the ever-expanding darkness of the colony. We believe these "catalysts" to be the best, and last hope against the force keeping us here, and perhaps even changing things for the better.

Some of our worst-off citizens dream of him, they call him the "wanderer", the "ragged king", or the "avatar of undeath". His goals are unknown, and his ambitions unclear, but his will binds the souls of all humanity, and even other organic lives into that of the presence. His spawn rules over the presence and feeds off the negative emotions being generated. Defeating them might just get the ragged king's attention, but this is the only speculation that seems to have any solid evidence. Regardless there is much work to be done in little time as possible.

I get a very heavy noir vibe. Is that what you are going for?

The Catalyst: The Rule of the Ragged King

I get a very heavy noir vibe. Is that what you are going for?

I would say it's inspired by noir, but also has a bit of depression themed into it as well. The planet's citizens are pretty much being taken over by entities synonymous with the symptoms of depression among other mental illnesses.

To clarify the planet was normal, and now it's not so a big centerpiece will be trying to figure out just what went wrong. The Catalysts aren't necessarily a force for good as some go out, and abuse their powers. The planet is dying, however, and the roleplay will demonstrate a collapsing society that won't get better until something is done with the Ragged king, and the trapped souls.

[3rdBritan]

would anyone like a alt earth game where you played as a king of a nation and the dice rolled The nations attacks and defense
of course to prevent mis-interpretation you would create your own civs old world only

[Pacmanomicon]

You’ll find that this is true for everyone - people are willing to put the most effort into world building the regions the country they represent is in.

I recommend against trying to handicraft the entire alternate history of your entire world yourself. While a few people have run done alternate-history role-plays on NationStates successfully by doing exactly that, in most cases the host did not try to design the entire world map themselves.

Simply set out the key points of divergence that define your alternate history and let roleplayers apply for the country they want with the borders they design and the history that they write themselves. Your job as host, then, will become simply making sure that the histories of other countries that other roleplayers write are plausible and do not contradict each other.

Yeah. That's what people keep telling me haha.

Back on this, what should I have as a system to keep things more realistic/under control? I don't want people to abuse a totally freeform roleplay, tbh.

Task Force Ember

The Year is 2029, the world lies on the cusp of a complete breakdown, or total revolution in technology. Wars and disasters of nigh-apocalyptic scale have erupted around the globe, with the only players on the board standing silent are the nuclear powers. Overnight, however, they appear to have begun moving to mobilize their armies and the naval forces of the world suddenly seem to be a little more on edge. An unimaginable alliance as the world's great powers declare publicly an end to their hostilities. Something is coming and Humanity will need to stand ready to fight it. At the spearhead of the combined nations of the world is Task Force Ember and it alone knows the nature of the war about to erupt.

Code: Select all

My name is Agent Sandman, that is all you will be authorized to know of my identity. Today you are to watch the induction video into Task Force Ember. If you are watching this video, you have been granted a Top Secret clearance with Need-to-Know on all Task Force Ember information.

You are watching this because you are joining Task Force Ember, the force that determines the survival of our species. Twenty years ago, a group of scientists from around the world discovered something, a construct located in the Marianas Trench, almost halfway down. It was not of Human origin.

Upon recovery of the artifact, we determined three core functions of the item and its purpose:

1. It is a power source.

2. It is a weapon.

3. It is a key.

It was designed as a battery to keep an ancient door closed, one that has been shut since prehistoric times. Over the millennia, various civilizations have opened this gate and doing so has brought unimaginable death and destruction on a scale previously thought impossible. Time, space, the very nature of the universe, ceases to function in the presence of the gate.

This information is key to understanding the nature of the equipment to be now issued to you. Before you, the case which is sealed will come undone by applying blood to the biolock. Do so now and then clean the scanner when complete. Please use the issued cleaning pads from within the case. You should now be looking at your Personal Advanced Combat Tactics -or PACT- Suit. It has been specially designed and tailored to your bodily dimensions and will accomodate your augmentation once you have completed attuning to your newfound abilities.

It has been designed using information to be briefed now.

When we developed our first shard of the artifact, we created a microgate into another universe, one with infinite power and energy that could be harvested. What we didn't realize was that something lived in that universe and developing the technology that could skim off of its food source would bring it to us. Cataclysms and disasters of unheard of scale began to rock the planet and over the last twenty years, things have only gotten worse.

Global Warming is a hoax designed to detract from the source of the disasters. On screen now, you should be seeing images of what we call 'Shades'. These are the beings that bring about disaster. They are capable of opening spontaneous gates into that other universe and unleashing vast amounts of energy into natural systems, amplifying their destructive power. They can be killed, but only through a focused and concerted effort. We do not know their language if they have one, or their method of communication if they have one. They have been reported to appear in various locations across the world and only as a single being.

We discovered that Shades are capable of interacting with certain humans entirely by accident, creating what is known as a Host. You have been tested and determined to be one such Host. Within you is a fragment of the Shade you interacted with, which as a result enables you to utilize technology that interfaces with our engineered shards. These shards power the PACT suit now before you and will offer power and strength beyond the realms of regular human bioengineering. Do not be mistaken, these suits can and will fail. They are not perfect and are highly experimental prototypes.

You may have wondered why there were three reinforced blast doors, a squad of heavily armed private soldiers, and stainless steel bordering this room. It is because this technology is inherently violent, unstable, and can create vast levels of problems for our planet if a Host goes feral- and they have. You may now make a choice. You may now don your suit and roll the dice, you can join Task Force Ember as a security consultant and private contractor as those outside the door, or you can be enrolled into a maximum security facility to ensure your knowledge does not now fall into the wrong hands.

The choice is yours and you must choose now. You will not be given a second chance at this decision as your mind must be settled before you don the suit. Good luck, I hope to soon call you a brother or sister-in-arms.

Please provide as much detail as possible.

RP's Overarching Concept: A Supernatural RP set during the American Frontier, with the story centring around a search for "The Colt"
Genre/s: Wild West, Dark Fantasy, Adventure, Action
Character or Faction Based: Character, with some Faction here and there for story purposes
Detailed Description: Right, so has anyone here watched Supernatural? Well if you have then you'll know about the Colt: that legendary gun that John claimed could "Kill anything". Now while it's been used a lot throughout the show, its history during the 1800s has been somewhat of a mystery. While yes we have that one episode in Season 6 where it falls into the hands of an old dude and supposedly gets passed down for generations, we don't get a lot of context of what happened before the event or even after. So here's my idea: basically, the Colt goes missing somewhere out there, and a bounty to find it is called up among the Hunter community (whether by Samuel Colt or by the old man who grabbed it is something that I need help with). As Hunters gather onto the American Frontier gather to try and grab the Colt, whether for the reward or for themselves, many monsters and creatures of the night, too, hear of the Colt's disappearance and also seek it out. And so a race to try and find the Colt ensues.

I plan on there to also be side quests and the like so people can get better equipment and to keep people busy, as well as random events and etc to keep the plot going.

Need Help With: Right, so this is in its sort of early planning stage, to be honest, and I need help considering the details. One problem I have is exactly when it's gonna be set. The most ideal one would be during that undetailed empty space between the creation of the Colt in 1835 and the episode where Sam and Dean come back to 1861, where it's revealed to be in the ownership of Samuel Colt (though we don't know how long it's been in his possession at that point). There's a lot of blank space there that makes it possible to fit the RP into the canon lore of Supernatural. On the other hand, many of the notable Wild West weapons (Colt Single Action, Winchester Rifle, Henry Rifle, etc) weren't made till around the 1860s or 1870s, which seems like a fairly minor detail but still one that bothers me, and has made me indecisive.

There are also problems with how large the environment will be, what'll it take up? A town? A county? A state? The whole frontier?

Another is loot and skills, I'd like to have a system where people can learn new magical techniques and gather new equipment and weapon, as the world of Supernatural presents a lot of opportunities for stuff like that, but I'm not sure how such a system would work.

That's all I can think off the top of my head at the moment, any feedback and advice would be appreciated. Will this lead anywhere? I don't know, but it's an RP idea I've been keen on for a while, especially since Supernatural is nearing its conclusion.

This is also my first time posting here for feedback, so apologies if I got anything wrong.

Getting some SCP vibes with all the supernatural stuff being covered up by stories of seemingly natural occurrences.

Think more along the lines of Lovecraftian deep sea-based horror in the terms of a war against Humanity by a powerful and supernatural group of entities. Long story short? Humanity found a way to access the realms full of Lovecraftian horror which proceeded to go horribly wrong. Now the players are to team up to fight it all off. I'll be killing off players who go inactive quite regularly as missions are supposed to be very short and brief. Let's me show off just how terrifically horrifying it all is supposed to be. I've given myself plenty of leeway to do so in a multitude of ways to boot.

If anyone remembers Gama, I've been thinking of doing something similar, except instead of Mech's, it goes more off of Eldritch/Lovecraftian bio-suits which require a host. The powersuit demo-lore I posted earlier was kind of an early brainstorm of that. I'm also wanting to adapt a current Power-suit RP into it by providing a power-scheme upgrade/point buy system. Players who stay in longer and develop their suits have to spend more down-time off of missions, developing their character and allowing for rest while newer characters can build up their power levels.

Whole reason why? Because hosts can be completely overrun by the cosmic horrors their suit is reverse-engineered from the bodies of and turn them into abominations themselves. I like the plot I can develop this into, and if enough people understand the whole concept of Eldritch overloads and the mortality aspect of dealing with Cosmic Horrors, they'll understand why I want to run it this way. More horror, less super-hero action. Sure, you can use super-suit power all you want, but every time you do, it overrides your humanity and changes you slowly. Eventually, every time you use the suit, you run a risk of suffering from an eldritch mutation, eventually resulting in the user's complete and total transformation into a Lovecraftian horror. It'd also be based off of your suit's design and powers what kind of horrifying Eldritch abomination you turn into.

I'm also planning on fixing the age to somewhere between 20-26 as that's about the time when puberty is completed, so those raised under the power-suit program are finally ready to be integrated with their suits. Older persons can become 'Hosts', but only if they've had direct contact with an Aberration or Abomination core (a Host that's fully turned Eldritch horror). Older members of original pilot programs wouldn't be 'active' any more, having run the risk of mutation (or actually mutated) too many times.

So, it's Sigma but spook.

[Kassaran]

Pretty much the gist of it. It just gives SIGMA a way of distinguishing itself easily in aesthetic value while also allowing me to play with some larger themes overall if I so choose.

As someone who was briefly involved in the original Gama, I'd be up for this.

I actually was planning on doing a similar sort of biopunk thematic successor to Gama a few years ago, except the creatures were more "kaiju but more horrific" than Lovecraftian abominations, and instead of pilots being directly corrupted by the creatures they controlled, they just inevitably developed a bunch of mental and physical health problems, and the combination of mental deterioration and anger against the military for not telling them about the health problems drove a couple of them to become evil anyway.

I ended up putting quite a lot of detail into it, but like most of my ideas, I eventually abandoned it for some reason. I could probably salvage one or two concepts from it for a character in this RP though.

+1 to that, though it would be also interesting exploring the fall out of every clone turning on the Jedi for a short amount of time, then realizing they'd been tricked and trying to deal with the consequences. Across the galaxy, the clone forces would be in disarray as they realize that a vital part of themselves was built to destroy the Republic they swore unending loyalty to. Some might even continue their attacks on the Jedi, believing that Order 66 was never fully complete. It could end up in a civil war between pro-Republic factions and pro-66 factions. Nevermind the suddenly roving warbands of still fully weaponized CIS/Separatist fleets and rogue clones.

Please provide as much detail as possible.
RP's Overarching Concept: A Super Hero RP set in the growing expanse of the Wild West. It's to serve as a semi-open world Sandbox centered around the gold rush of the fictional town of Butte City, Utah. Here, the players play a diverse cast of characters as they try to navigate the rapidly growing town of gold miners, industrialists, and outlaws. Supervillains will make their appearance as the RP progresses, or players can choose to play one off the bat if they so choose. OCs are welcome, but so are characters from existing IPs. For example, if you want to play Frank Castle as a US Marshal with a grim reputation that proceeds him everywhere he goes, by all means, go for it. This is a world where the strange becomes ordinary, where science advances by the power of coal, and where a nation so nearly torn apart tries to heal.
