Semi-post-apocalyptic demon slayer RP w/ light Matrix influences (Interest thread)
 

Now that I've got your attention {bud-um ching, folks} I've an RP that I been formulating for a little while.

The Gist:

15 years in the future, the Antichrist has arisen to his prophesized place of world dominance. His rule is marked by prosperity in the world's very rich places, in contrast to utter poverty and devastation in the open plains, mountains, and backcountry. he is known only as "the Lord truly" by the "faithful," those who accepted his mark, and make up more than 90% of the world's population.

Evil has begun to spread throughout the world...Real, tangible evil. Powerful demons in Humanoid form rule fiefs carved out of the continents, vassals of the Antichrist who lords over all from a Bavarian Castle. His power is real and in the form of a massive and modern military made up of all that remained from the few resisting nations. Demons stalk the cities and countryside, preying on the "unfaithful" or those without the mark of the new world order branded upon them. Sorcery has become a powerful and tangible art, practiced by satanic preists who search constantly for willing intitiates or resistors with which to make servants of. Undead and other abominations roam the badlandsaround the cities, unleashed by the wellspring of evil in the world. Any who resist are brutally tortured and murdered.

But all is not for darkness. Many survive reclusively in the mountains and hills, living out their days in poverty, with little hope, and with dwindling or vanished faith in goodness. Yet rumors abound of violent resistance. Warbands that work to relive pressure on locals, moving between attacks. The use stolen vehicles and weapons to fight. Some even say that they have harnessed sorcery to their ends.

As the world waits in gathered darkness for some end to come, The Forces of light and Dark may one last time clash.

{More detail to come}

-PCs will be the members of an above mentioned Warband. There will be Three main types of playable characters:

The Lost
The Wayward
The Found

Each has a unique skill set and group of modifiable abilities. Technology is modern day, with slight advancements.

-Probably room for about 6-8 PCs. Post interest here if you would like to have a Sign-up thread.

I'm interested, this sounds good.

Hmm.......this is interesting. But you have to give me a little more than that to make me join...

Technically, what you said is right up until Jesus comes in and sends the Antichrist to hell. So we could be like Jesus's strike force, or something. An ending where we finally come face-to-face with the Antichrist, get beaten, and then Jesus kungfus the guy's ass and sends us to Heaven sounds plausible though...

A nice interpretation of the end times We must say, although we're missing the Matrix themes.

This sounds pretty good. More info would be nice, though.

PS Kildare, where'd you get the Medivh quote?

wilysword: I got that from the original manual of Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness.

Well, IHMN had a point, but Airbag said what I was about to say. The PC's fight to resist and eventually topple the regional demon-lords an then in the final battle (armageddon) at meggido and Jerusalem and witness the second coming and stuff....if things get that far. And I'm not looking for joiners just yet...merely prospective joiners while I type the sign-up thread today. And the matrix influences will add flavor to the combat styles available through sorcery and faith effects.

I'll have the signup posted tonight.

I'm interested. Just, what are the three classes? Give me a description of the three and I'lll be able to really consider it. However, I'll tell you, you've got my interest.

lets kill some demons. I'm more then willing to try my hand at this.
