Now, some people might have been around on this site long enough to remember the last time I did this, and if they were then they'll recognize 'this'
Well, more recent Disturbed songs have ignited the fire once again!
Yes, I'm talking about remaking an old RP based off of this Disturbed Animation once again. Though it wasn't quite 'that' simple last time, and though it's different along with our era this time it still isn't quite that simple.
I'll be honest, I'm hoping to 'get' the motivation to put all the effort into this 'from' people expressing their interest, so for now i'm just going to give a really short version.
Then and now, the basic idea is that the entire world has suffered a corporate take-over, several different incredibly wealthy business giants conspired to bring all of humanity under-heel, trapping the little people in a perpetual life-style of struggling to survive while every effort they make serves the already rich and empowered.
Each company, or rather 'empire' now, has it's own themes, like anime-themed soldiers, high technology of a certain type, recreated magic, rampant genetic modification, so on and so forth, and generally be based on some huge company that 'exists' today, though it doesn't necessarily have to make sense, like the 'KFC' empire... that'd make little sense, but that's part of the fun. This ranges from the obvious like Microsoft taking over the internet and claiming all forms of communication to innact mass brain-washing campaigns, to the less 'widely liked' themes like, say, Hasbro forming an army of animatronic ponies to subdue their peasants with, or the more controversial, like a business run by Third Wave Feminazi's actually managing to gain any sort of real power, and we all know what 'those' psychopaths would do.
Of course, there comes plenty of oppurtunities on the players side, We've got to stand a chance at a successful rebellion now don't we?! It won't be easy of course, but, and the final list of things depends on the group that arranges to 'do' the RP, ranging easily from simple defectors that stole the specialties of their former empire, to, saaaay, 'actual' ponies turning up to try and save the little people from the fake ones, or even some alien race coming across the oppressed earth and deciding to actually intervene, [nevermind the possibility that one of the empires could already be working with 'another' alien race... X-com anyone?!]
ANYWAY! Most of that depends on the opinions of everyone who shows interest... Seriously, I want opinions, suggestions, even additions if you feel like putting things together yourself to contribute to the RP! Don't just appear and say 'interested', because that won't sound very invested in the RP ;3
As for how many people... I'm not actually sure. I don't want to over-work myself and burn out, but if I can get some CO-gm's, we could actually split the work and handle more people, or perhaps just man different portions of the RP alltogether, in different areas of the world and what not.
Generic warnings: Vulgar language, suggestive themes, controversial philosophy, fandom content that some people might have unnecessarily strong problems with, Things that 'sensitive proffesional whiners' would classify as hate-speech [when it really just disagrees with them], possibly memes, and a variety of other elements of modern society being utilized for the sake of a role-play about how fucked up society could potentially become in a few decades.
