Future's End RP Sign Up
 

Yep, I finally got it ready, my new RP...


It is the year 2120. What looked like a bright and cheery future in 2020 has now turned into a nightmare world. In 2021, The Final War broke out. All the nations of the earth fought one last great war, and everyone had an agenda. It finally broke down into three sides; The Empire, The Alliance, and The Confederation. This soon became unimportant however, because most of the megacorperations of the world, afraid of losing their power, influence, and own mini-empires, interceded. They stopped supplying the three last alliances in the world, and instead produced their own armies of mercenaries and employees. Soon the corperations toppled the governments since they lack the reinforcements necessary to go on, and the Megacorperations took control of the world.

People knew this wouldn't last, and after The "Final" War ended in 2044, in 2052 The Corperate War began. An already ravaged Earth took another beating as the 20 great Mega-Corps went to full scale war. After the devestation raged over every continent, and they began to fear the destruction of the world from the ferocity of fighting with the weapons devoloped over the last 30 years, the remaining six corperations agreed to unite for the good of the planet. Thus, Omega Corp. came into being in the year 2070, the last great corperation.

Soon after Omega Corp came to power, riots and rebellions broke out all over the world. Nationalism went into full swing, as the peoples of nations all over the world began to protest all being under the control of one government and wanting their own governments back. Omega Corp's response was brutal, and resistance was met by trained killing squads, and full rebellion was met with nuclear weaponry. To stem the flow of violence, Omega restricted the public from owning any weapons, and made it a crime. The people were still restless and causing trouble, so they began to restrict anything that could make the citizens even think. Newspapers, books, radio, and television were all heavily censored, and anything that hadn't been censored or spun by the government was banned. Sex, drugs, and violence met their fate quickly as well, with lethal force being inflicted on any break in any law. Soon society broke down into the mindless day to day, with Omega constantly brainwashing the populace into enjoying their new thought free life. The world was made into Omega Corp's zombies.

But there are always those that resist the status quo...

Soon after Omega Corp.'s "Final Resolution" to the dissent and rebellion through restriction of anything thought or even emotion evoking, in 2090 the first Overlord appeared. He started a small gang, and began to re-release banned materials. Old intelectuals, young rebellious teens, and everyone in between soon became interested in these new things the Overlord began to introduce, but when Omega tried to crack down, the Overlord and his gang were gone, leaving little trace. Soon they popped up again in a new place, and soon a second Overlord appeard, with more to follow. Anytime Omega tried to crack down, there was no trace of the Overlords or their members, and they would only appear again, stronger in a new place. As they gained power, the Overlords began to bribe Omega's lesser employees into looking the other way, and the long since corrupt employees agreed. Soon a healthy black market reappeared, and all over the world new Overlords, and new gangs to aid them, were cropping up, and Omega Corp was too slow, corrupt, and incapable to control them. Now an uneasy peace remains as Omega tries to wipe out the Overlords, but the Overlords prove too sneaky and crafty to be so easily stopped...

This is where you come in. You are just another street ganger on the streets of Megacity 001, the new capital of the world since 2075. It is a much more high-tech and dangerous world then it once was a long time ago, but opportunity waits at every turn, if you can avoid rival gangs on one side, Omega Corp on the other, and every obstacle in between. A new Overlord has appeared, and he has been sending invitations and information to all the major gangs to try and recruit, and you have been sent as a represenative to see what this new Overlord wants. You only know he goes by the name Terminus, and has some big plan to reveal to any interested gang down in an abandoned warehouse in the slums...

Bio:

The mechanics will be you pick one of four races: Human, Psi-Mutant, Total Mutant, or Cyborg.

Human is, as usual, Human, decent at everything, masters of nothing. They have a max Tech level of 7.

Psi-Mutant is sort of your X-Man type mutant. They are physically weak and do poor in normal combat, but they have their one special power (Think anywhere from phasing to telekinesis to pyrokinesis to super intelligence, although I would review any power submitted to see if it was okay) to supplement it. They usually have an abnormality, like a strange skin and hair color, but otherwise look human. They have a max Tech level of 4.

Total Mutant is sort of your werewolf humanoid. You can either be a human mixed with a creature, or a human with some other mutation, but while Psi-Mutants usually have one or two odd traits that make them stand out like a strange skin or hair color, Total Mutants you can tell from a distance because of the obvious mutations, like fur all over thier bodies, new limbs, restructured skeletons, or strange growths, making it hard for them to wear armor. They would be best at melee combat, and would be fast and strong, but the mutation lowers their intelligence and makes it so they can't operate high tech equipment. They have a max Tech level of 2.

Cyborg is what you think, a half-human/half-machine mix. A cyborg looks like a normal human except for their cybernetics, and can pick up to three cybernetic enhancements to thier character. The problem is, that their cybernetics need to be repaired at special places if damaged or malfunctioning, and while their machine parts are powerful and they can easily handle high tech, they are also susceptable to anything a machine wouldn't like, like electricity, water, and other stuff, and it is easy to pick up a cyborg on scanners. They have a max Tech level of 9.

Your Tech level will decide whether you can carry super high tech like Plasma Generators, or if you can only figure out how to wield a club. Remember, at the start, no one has access to anything more high tech then an average assault rifle and normal kevlar style armor.

Anything else I will cover as it comes up.

EDIT: Sorry, forgot the gangs.

EDIT EDIT: Note, I may change my mind on if you can get into some of the gangs or not, so you may want to ask first if you want to join a gang without an asterix. I will say now, you can get into the greater sword gangs (Bothers/Blade, Sisters/Sword), but ask about any others.

I'll adjust my guy from the other thread

Ooo... this sounds like a blast and a half, I'm in!

Name: Barret Bolba

Nickname: Boxer

Race: Human

Gang: Independant (If I'm allowed. If not I'll fix.)

Equipment: Bare fists, but able to wield other weapons and use them pretty well.

Skills: Boxer and heavy lifter

Appearance: About 6' 6'' and weighing in at 254 lbs, Usually can be found wearing long black jeans and a white Tee. Will wear a leather jacket when it's cold, but prefers to show off his arms.

Bio: (Depends on gang, will fix if needed) As the appearance suggests, this is not a man to fight with. He was brought up with old stories of how the world was once run, illegally of course, but that never stopped him. While he was maturing, he took many days off to attend a gym to work on his body, and actually was a very good and well known fighter for some time.

However, he was not one to sit idly by and watch the world go round. He was the leader of many unsuccessful attempts to overthrow Omega corp., but for some reason he would never stop at his attempts. The last one was when he was caught, his career got hurt because of it, and his friends now acted as if they never knew him. Barret finally knew what it meant to be alone.

For a good part of his life, you could only find this man alone in his room, in front of his old punching bag, where he would spend all of his time. However, a couple days ago, he got a message from someone who wanted him. They needed he help to overthrow Omega Corp. and by God he was going to help. They had ruined the life he once had, so now it was their time to pay up.

Your character seems good to go.

There was a lot more interest when this was only idea it seems... I'll post my character and see if it gives anyone some ideas.

Name: Darius Atma
Nickname: 'Zero'
Race: Human
Gang: Rusted Blades
Equipment: Katana, Reaction Leather trenchcoat (Resistant to bullets, very resistant to heat), Credits (money)
Skills: Master swordsman with his Katana, and decent with pistols although he nearly never uses them.
Appearance: Wears black sunglasses, dyed black trencoat, has on black pants and shirt under the coat. His brown hair is spiked up, and the glasses hide his green eyes. He carries his sword on a scabbard on his back.

Bio: Darius was once a very high level member of the Brothers of the Blade, but he became disgusted with the way it was begining to sell itself out to Omega to hunt down other gangs. He left, avoiding multiple assasination attempts and being forced to kill some old friends sent to kill him. He has become somewhat hard because of this, and led a lonely path for a while, forsaken by the sword clans and hunted by Omega and the clans. Eventually a member of the Rusted Blades contacted him, and while he was reluctant, he accepted in the end. He steadily worked his way back up the ranks, and is now the second in command for the Megacity 001 Rusted Blades gang. He was sent on this mission because the RBs wanted to get back at Omega for a raid they made on a RB safehouse, and this new Overlord seemed interested in taking on Omega...

Seta the bartender smirked to himself as the figure came through the door. The figure was dressed in tatters; he'd obviously just come out of the ganger-ridden slums that had plagues him for years. Either that or he was just a poor shmuck who couldn't afford decent clothes. Seta's thought was vindicated when he saw the guitar strapped to his back; he's a musician. This town had no room for 'em; it's a tough enough place without people wasting time strumming instruments and singing stupid songs..

"Gimme a whiskey," the unshaven man muttered.

"No."

The stranger looked up slowly, his face blank.

"What do you mean, no?"

"In this town, you gotta prove that you're good for it. We've had so much trouble from the gangs that the weak don't survive well. I haven't gotten a whiskey shipment in 5 weeks, so I'm saving it for those who are willing to fight."

Seta's eyes flickered momentarily as he caught sight of the ruffians moving up behind the stranger; he tried to keep his eyes met with the stranger's to not tip him off. Unfortunately, it didn't work. The stranger spun around, finding himself surrounded by the ruffians wielding knives. "Like I said," Seta commented, reaching under the bar for his club. "...this is a tough town."

Suddenly, the stranger swung his guitar (which read Gibson down the side) off his back. The ruffians paused for a moment, then moved in on the stranger, who stood impassive with his guitar in front of him, silently eyeing the thugs. His hands jumped...to his guitar strings. They moved with lightning speed, playing a solo that conveyed anger and intensity, its high notes wailing threats and its low riffs like a dying man's gurgle. The thugs and Seta all stopped, stunned both by the odd action and by threat inherent in its electric wails. The stranger ended his riff, and returned to his formerly impassive position. One of the thugs broke from his spell; he rushed forward, brandishing his knife. Suddenly, the stranger spun; from the back of his guitar, he draws a sword from a sheath that runs the length of the guitar. Swiftly spin-kicking the thug in the face and letting his momentum carry him by, the stranger stabs with his sword, running the thug through. He turns around, guitar in one hand and bloody sword in the other. The other thugs quickly backed off. He took a piece of paper from a battered pocket and wiped the blade clean of blood before sheathing it. The stranger turned back to the bar, and to the shaking Seta.

"Now, what about that whiskey?"

Seta quickly served him a non-watered down drink.

"S-so...what's your name, stranger?" he asks.

"Priest. Judas Priest. And that...was Rock and Roll."

Name: Judas Priest
Nicknames: Buddy, Priest, The Man
Race: Apparently human
Age: Apparently 29
Class: Six String Samurai
Equipment: His clothes, his hat, a pouch of gems, oil and a scabbard for his sword (which he straps to the guitar) and his glasses.
Weapons: His katana, which is more of a blade with the hilt wrapped in cloth, and his guitar, Gibson.
Armour: None, uses good ol'fashioned dodging (and he's good at it, too)
Quote: "Something's got to be done... and I'm the one to do it."

Bio: Wandering minstrel. Deadly swordsman. Merely words, but all of them describe the man calling himself Judas Priest, the Six String Samurai. Standing six feet even, with brown eyes and black hair tied up with a headband, he is as skilled with his guitar as he is with his blade, capable of dispatching foes with but a single word, a mystery to most and a hero to all.

(I will assume we can upgrade our equipment as we go, right?)

I hope this is ok, you made it seem like cybernetic repairs where a very special commedity, to help balance that I have made him all but compleatly useless in a fight... he's a tech-head. tell me if that's a problem.

Name: Spencer Jackson

Nickname: Spence, The Fixer, The Engineer, Grease Monkey, Sponge, Repairman

Race: Cyborg

Gang: Other (for now)

Equipment: All sorts of tools and electronics, your basic handgun

Cybernetics: Robotic hand, has various tool usage (soldering iron, screwdriver, electronics link up, ect.)

Skills: Has almost no combat experience or the desire to get any, he does know machines, electronics, plumbing, physics, engineering, hydraulics, and a lot of other book learning

Appearance: A slight, thin kid of about 19, he usually has a big smile on his axle grease covered face. He has short brown hair and blue eyes and stands only 5‘7“. He normally wears jeans and a t-shirt, or overalls.

Bio: An eternally optimistic person, Spence was born to very poor family who had Spence work in the family business from a very young age. an untested genius he picked up the skills of his fathers trade and a rapid pace, and then the skills of the tradesmen around him. Before long he had learned everything that his family and friends could teach him, and yet he still craved more knowledge.

He started to move amongst the black market crowds and use any money he could scrounge to purchase books and texts. He experimented with machinery, electricity, and math and learned that he had a knack for them all. He was easily able to get a job at some of the black market mechanics shops and took to do repairs.

While working at one of the shops another mechanic accidentally knocks the car he was working on off the jack it was raised on. Only his hand was trapped underneath but it was crushed and useless. Having no other choice Spence had it replaced with a cyber hand and took to it immediately, he started to make modifications as best he could, place tools into it and make adjustments that he would like.

He recently learned about the new overlord and how he has banned books and texts... banned knowledge. While Spence may not be any good in a fight, he hopes that the Overlord might find a guy like himself useful enough to share such knowledge with.

I'm so gonna' do a sniper/gunslinger.

Everyone looks good, and yes Luo, we'll need to hack into bases and computers, and we'll get a vehicle, so your guy can do those tasks and leave combat up to the rest.

And yes, as the RP goes on, we'll get better equipment along the way.

Hmm... It seems we are both swordsmen... Might be tricky. Can my guitar have a special combat ability? Priest's katana is only good against organics, and we are most likely going to encounter robots here...

I was thinking of a close range electric attack that would do massive damage to one target (so no ganking an ubermech from across the city, but he could fry one that got within 5m of him.)

Hmmm, okay, I'll accept that.
