Circa year 2020: Mankind accidentally make first contact with seemingly friendly paranormal entities, who then sneakily take over from right under humanity's noses. The otherworldly entities used a wide range of tactics to take over without the use of invasion or brute force. Assassinations, bribery, blackmail, corrupting officials, and so on and so forth were used. Humanity wasn't punched in the face. It was punched in the back of the head. A one-world government called the Emergence Entity was formed. While many questioned how the governments of the world suddenly fused together, it was "explained" away by international unity and globalism.

During the time of their arrival, nobody on Earth had a concrete reason why the otherworldly beings appeared and did what they did. Some believed they're here to harvest Earth and the resources while playing humanity like a puppet. Others did believe they have compassion for humanity. While actions speak louder than words, propaganda has muddled the lines between fact and fiction. However, it can be inferred that dissidence has diminished over the 2020s save for pockets of misfits that live in the countryside rather than the cities.

2035: To take back Earth, guerrilla warfare has been deemed a must. The Griffin organization was founded from the remnants of the old world. The founding members were ex-military, yet the membership became much more diverse, expanding it from a mere nuisance to a threat to the Emergence Entity. It is up to a ragtag bunch of misfits to save planet Earth from the paranormal beings' nefarious plans. To Griffin, it wasn't military might that made the paranormals dangerous. It was how manipulative they were. Griffin wasn't just a global organization. It was a mobile one, using the Nemesis; a converted supply craft stolen from the paranormal beings. Griffin took to calling them Xenos to highlight their strange and otherworldly nature.

If you're heroic or insane enough to join the resistance, do it or become them! Long live the resistance!

TLDR: Otherworldly beings took over the planet! Fight back and save our freedom!

ADDENDUM: This RP can be either small or large group. If you are a fan of XCOM or Warhammer 40000, you're gonna love this RP!

This is an interesting premise. I don't normally do group RPs but I think I'll keep my eye on this one.

I haven't played the Xcom games (my pc's too old for the latest one) but I know a little bit about them. Is knowing the game lore required or is this an original universe?

Believe it or not, no knowledge is needed or required. It's an original universe and I have documents if you need to know stuff.

Once a bit more interest has been gathered up, I'll make an official thread. Not just there will be action on the forum setting, but also I have a Discord backup in case things go wrong. If you'd like the Discord link, it's available on request. Nonetheless, have fun once everything's set up and official!
