Vicitis Rising
OP = Faal Lot Himdah
Co-OP = Fereni
Vicitis, a planet many lightyears away from the Earth, situated at the furthest reaches of space settled by humanity. For many generations since its colonization by the United Earth Federation (UEF), Vicitis had been relatively unimportant. A backwater world of former refugees, with its only value to the UEF being the humble mining operations. It was a harsh world that had a long history of lawlessness, mainly in the form of criminal syndicates, pirates and banditry. The people of Vicitis struggled, but ultimately remained loyal to the UEF, as despite its unimportance, there was always the presence of military and law enforcement to protect against the worst of the lawlessness.
However, that all changed in the year 2157, when humanity was facing a threat from beyond human space threatened the existence of the UEF. In order to fight this threat, the UEF pulled its forces from a number of worlds it deemed unimportant, worlds that they could lose with minimal impact on the rest of the UEF. One of these worlds was Vicitis. Abandoned by the only force that was keeping any semblance of law and order, Vicitis fell once again into lawlessness.
This descent into lawlessness would not be the only thing to threaten the people of Vicitis after being abandoned by the UEF. A year after being abandoned by the UEF, Vicitis found itself under siege. An alien force, separate from the threat faced by the UEF, had begun to attack Vicitis. The people tried to fight, but without the support of the UEF, it was only a matter of time till they ultimately lost. With the population of Vicitis extremely devastated, the humans of Vicitis were ready to give up.
It was then that seven humans appeared on the front lines, with abilities that could not be explained. Powers like the fictional heroes of Earth. They fought back, and people started to follow them. Quickly, more and more people of Vicitis began developing abilities, and Vicitis was able to turn the tide. Not long after, the aliens who threatened Vicits were forced to abandon their interests on the planet.
When the planet was no longer under threat, the source of these strange powers became clear. All those who had powers had received them from an alien being known as the High Overlord. The humans of Vicitis had also learned that these powers came with a price. That price was the servitude and loyalty of all humans on Vicitis to the High Overlord. They fought against one alien threat for their freedom only to hand it over to another.
This did not sit well with a number of the remaining humans of Vicitis, so they intended to resist. Resistance was crushed quickly when the seven “heroes'' of the Siege of Vicitis turned on the resisting humans, joined by their followers, and drones of the High Overlords. With resistance crushed, the Seven Overlordships of Vicitis had begun. The humans of Vicitis were gathered and forced into seven mega-cities, each ruled by one of the seven former heroes, now known as the Seven Overlords.
The Seven Overlords were given rulership of each of the seven megacities and their surrounding area by the High Overlord. They were also given the responsibility of working together to rule over Vicitis, making sure tributes to the High Overlord were paid and the control of the High Overlord over the planet was maintained. How each of the Overlords was to rule their megacity was of no importance to the High Overlord, as he only cared about getting what was owed to him. As such, while some Overlordships would be cruel, others would be relatively kind. Not long after the Seven Overlordships were established and seemingly stable, the High Overlord left Vicitis.
It has been nearly 300 years since the Seven Overlordships of Vicitis had begun. The Seven Overlords descendants still have control over their individual cities, despite numerous attempts to overthrow them orchestrated mainly by the successor of the UEF, the Federation of Free Human Systems (FFHS). Powers are prominent among the descendants of the original followers of the original Seven Overlords, the nobility as they have taken to calling themselves. That said, powers are still capable of manifesting among the lower classes, albeit rare.
Among the Seven Overlordships, the most powerful is the Overlordship of Suphia, currently led by the Overlord Brutus Drex. Through use of fear, respect, loyalty and subtle manipulation, Drex has established himself as the most powerful Overlord, despite the fact that Suphia is not the largest Overlordship, and Drex is not the most individually powerful of the Overlords.
Fate has determined that it is time for the Overlordship of Suphia to possibly fall, and her agents unknowingly gather in the shadows of the slums of Suphia be them criminals, law enforcement, soldiers, disgraced nobles, doctors, orphans, and people who are just done with the Overlordship. Each living their own life, unaware that they are about to be heavily involved in the greatest uprising of Vicitis.
Hello, welcome to Vicitis Rising, an RP created from the corpse of an old RP of mine that would constantly be brought back. In this RP, you will take the role of a powered or unpowered individual trying to make a living within the megacity of Suphia. Be it the role of a criminal, officer of the law, disgraced noble or whatever. As long as it makes sense.
In this RP, whatever your background, your character will get involved in the coming uprising by the people against the Overlordship, be it on the side of the Uprising or the Suphian Justiciars. However, while characters can be on either side, there will be limited player versus player, as that can turn into quite a mess. Instead, your actions will almost always be against NPCs, and your actions will affect how things ultimately play out.
There will be two primary factions available for player characters. Either the Uprising or the Suphian Justiciars. That said, those are the primary factions. Technically your character can have a secondary faction, such as a member of the Uprising who has a past with the Five Families. Or a member of the Justiciars who is a plant of the Domyr Drecan.
If you play a character who is for the Uprising, then you don’t necessarily have to be a moral paragon. Your character's reason for helping the Uprising can be selfish or selfless, it doesn’t really matter in the long run. Those among the Suphian Justiciars also don’t all have to be obviously evil, they can have some goodness to them. Honestly, I encourage you to make a character who isn’t purely good nor purely bad. That said, ultimately, make a character you feel comfortable with and think you will have fun playing.
Rules
1. Godmodding and metagaming is highly frowned upon
2. My word is the law. If I am not around, my Co-OPs word is law until I return
3. No character limit per player as of right now. This may change depending on how many people join.
4. No overpowered characters. I will let you know if I consider your character overpowered, and then will work with you to make it less so.
5. Character death is a very real possibility. If your character dies, it dies.
6. Disputes between players, or with me, will be kept out of the OOC. Settle them through your telegrams.
7. There will be no discord server associated with this RP, officially or unofficially. This might change in the future, depending on how activity looks.
8. If you are going to be gone for extended periods of time, inform any player whose characters your character is interacting with, and me or my Co-OP. If you don’t and your character is holding everyone up, I will find a way to remove that character from the interaction, and depending on the situation, it can mean that your character will be injured.
10. Three strikes and you're out generally. If you really mess up, I will kick you out.
