The Other Side (closed GD/Interest/Planning)

Postby Patrick OConner » Tue Feb 21, 2017 5:19 pm

This is an Interest and planning thread for an rp tentatively titled The Other Side. The rp is currently closed to the Greater Deinstad Region.

The framework for this RP is as follows, a cult seeks to bring its dark Elder God onto this plane to rule it, and in the process enslaving man kind, killing and tormenting all those that oppose them. In return the cultist expect to get riches, eternal life and power. A secret council opposes these cultist and all those like them and have done so for eons, trying to keep humanity safe and independent from eternal dimensional mystical tyrants.
The secret council sends its operatives after the cult only to have them slaughtered. Now it is time to take a gamble by bringing Greater Deinstads best together for a fight that not only has everyone lives on the line but the very existences of mankind.

The whole events is supposed to be happening in secret and in the shadows of the region as this war is waged. It is supposed to happen with the Greater Deinstand region. People are encouraged to bring there best characters and most varied ones and specail weapons.

This thread is to fully hash out the details and present ideas on what to do and to ensure that mythos mesh with in the rp itself. All ideas here are welcome from characters (for either side) to weapons and monsters, bring it all here and lets see.

This is not an OOC thread, one such thread will be made later.

I choose the second definition of it. This meaning rule by virtue and not owning land to be allowed to vote or hold political office. Instead one is required to serve time in the military (currently 6 years)

This seems like a pretty cool idea. Sort of a Call of Cthulu type thing.

I'm envisioning there might be a handful of expeditions into the continent of Oinia (the new landmass on the map) where we stumble upon some strange artifacts, old ruins, and things of the like. I'm certainly interested in seeing how this goes.

Interested for sure, the Special Situations Division is always on call

I think what we discussed as one proposal was a Themisi cult of death worshippers open a gateway to the underworld, or 'World Beneath' as it were. Said gateway starts slowly spreading, distorting the land and fabric of reality, and bringing with it all sorts of monsters. Whilst the God of the Underworld/Death Thanatos doesn't rock up, some of his demi-god embodiments would turn up as his lieutenants, commanding said monsters and bringing with them all sorts of terror and pain. Or, in RP terms, boss fights. We thought this to be compatible with one of the characters Patrick proposed, who had some control over death; rather than him having some control over it as he would in the real world, in this distorted fabric, he is able to fight said monsters and demigods as equals. Since demigods don't die, 'banishment' back to their original plane is similarly compatible, and comes with plenty of profound quotes on the human nature.

Free scope on what monsters you'll encounter in that scenario - if it's fighting in a creeping reality comprised of human fears, then anything goes. Technomagic might work as well, though results could vary depending on how you want to roll.

Free scope for dealing with the problem as well - I'm sure some sort of techno-occult solution can be found, if the standard 'kill everything' plan doesn't work (see: Doom).

So a list of things we need is in order.

We seem to have boss so check that off.
Still need
Gaurdain Council Members (the secret council from before.)
Various characters and team members from various players
Possibly an application? (maybe. only if we decide to let other join)
a Co op
Various monsters to fight
and various sub bosses
An established Mythos we can all agree upon
A firm definition of magic and science (any blending of the two will be called Alchemy so i declare)
A list of approved and unapproved powers

Anything else please add

I am restarting work on this and moving forward with it for all of those interested.

I am planning on writing the post involving the councel and them deciding on who is going to be selected. And possibly a recruiting thread.
I have decided againist an app for now since the rp is closed to GD but number of characters will be limited.

The Ten Orders, are at your service for all secret saving the world stuff, and the Dynamo Team is the experimental/odd/weird/failedmonster team.


As the RP formulates, I will choose to what degree my involvement will be, and to whom I shall send as tribute.
I am interested.

Oh, I finally found this. Meshes well with an RP I was writing not long ago that was gonna be similar, so I am interested. It was called The Protocol, with certain Divisions of it focused on certain threats (supernatural, extraterrestial, strange tek).

For this I can offer The Inquisition as well as the Holy Warriors. The Theocracy has been very open about its acknowledgement of cults, Gods, daemons, and whatnot. The Inquisitions Detachment Auri'Tai has many agents who would be worthwhile additions, while Detachments Tribu'dai and Kuli'kai have centuries of intelligence in dealing with such matters.

The Holy Warriors as a whole have some general experience with such things. However, the Hunter Cathedral is a smaller formation within the Holy Warriors that is formed to directly respond to such threats, and have a great deal of experience dealing with the many terrors of the Lardite Cult and their apocalyptic God.

Could I join with my Holy Order acting as an Inquisition hunting demons or whatever these things are in the RP?

Or is this restricted to Greater Dienstrad?

I dont see why you can't jion but be warned things might get a little bit crazy.

Also I wanted to formalize some of the relationships between the Gaurdians council and other goverments. I was thinking that the goverements are more or less aware of the council and choose to aid or ignore them per each person own choosing.
