Save yourselves from yourselves.
Hi everyone, welcome to the OOC/interest thread for Dark Messiahs, an ambitious RP project by yours truly. After being inspired by the multi-thread RPs by Pan-Asiatic States, I decided to start my own. Since this is a way to kick-start the RP group Weird Warfare, all the members of WW are free to join.
What's the general tone to these RPs?
Dark. A lot darker than the usual Amenrian stories. Simply put, these will be Lovecraft Lite horror stories with a lot of action. The fact that it will have ties to real life history and Jungian psychology doesn't make it less scary. Unlike the usual Amenrian tradition of obviously good people fighting obviously bad people, moralities will be more blurred here. On one hand, the Dark Messiahs' views aren't exactly wrong in itself. However, the lengths they'd go to fulfill their dreams aren't innocent either.
Do I need to be on a specific tech level to join?
No. When I said they're coming for everyone, I meant they're coming for everyone. While there might be restrictions on those wanting to start from the preludes, once the war actually begins, it's a free-for-all.
Who will we be fighting?
Aside from the big bad and the titular Dark Messiahs? Yourselves. Your worst fears of what you could become are real in the dark multiverse. Every repressed desire, every dark thought you ever had manifests itself in the dark multiverse, ready to jump at you once they cross the border.
Will this be character-based?
Most of the threads will. You could RP as a nation at the climax though, it would make sense for your government to want to handle an invasion like any other.
Do I need to join Weird Warfare?
No, but it helps. Talk to me if you want to be invited.
