I was thinking I'd like to do an RP set in a cyberpunk version of the biblical end times. I mean, the end times are in the future, so no reason not to add some advanced technology into the mix, right?

Our RP's plot would go something like this: In the future, a major catastrophe occurred, killing well over a third of the human race overnight. Insanity ensued, and within a decade or so, civilization was on its knees. However, in our time of need, we found hope! For a new Global State formed to unite all humanity under one banner so that we could build a new utopian* society, under our new leader, Adrian Delmore. Little does most of humanity suspect, however, that Delmore is in fact, the Antichrist.

Our characters would be members of a team of 144,000 covert agents who are tasked with setting up some kind of rebellion.


Would anybody be interested in this?

144,000 huh? Any meaning behind that?

It's an allegory for Revelation 14:1, which goes: "Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads."
It's usually inferred to mean something to the effect of "believers during the end times".

Awesome. Bonus points to anyone who knows how I came up with the name "Adrian Delmore".

I'd be interested in this. As far as the rebellion goes, has it already started or are we responsible for starting it from scratch?

There are various disorganized pockets of resistance here and there. Our job will mostly be to find organizations that aren't in league with the Anti-Christ's regime and get them to provide services for the resistance.

For example, their might be a group of defectors from Delmore's police forces, who we might want to track down and recruit. Another thing I have planned is an organization called Galt Corporation, which fears some aspects of Delmore's influence and is willing to give us assets under the table.
