Alt(ER)[Native]


The Cataclysm changed everything.

After that phenomenon rocked the world, humanity evolved. The manipulation of solid matter gnawed at our fingertips, pumped through our veins, yet nothing good came of it. War raged on until there was nothing left to loot or steal or claim for anyone. That was three hundred years ago, according to the old books anyway. The world is different now.

Nature has reclaimed her place as the majority. The old cities fell and new ones rose in their place. Old government crumbled and in its place, lawlessness became the order of chaos. The closest thing to organization nowadays are the guilds and the biggest among them is ER—Equivalent Retribution. They like to think of themselves as peacekeepers, law enforcement types who use their abilities to create what they see and call civilization. The only guild who opposes them outright are the Natives. Resistance fighters who believe the new free form way of life is a godsend. And in between is everyone else.

We all need food. We all need water. We all scavenge and we all have to deal with the Alts—creatures who were once human, but lost their humanity to The Plague, a sickness that comes with using our supernatural abilities too much. Our powers decimated the need for guns, but we’ve all gone back to the old ways. Swords, shields, maces, hammers, if you’ve seen it in an old medieval movie, we’ve got it now. It’s all so surreal. It’s all we now know.

So who will you be? We’re all somebody. We all live our lives day to day trying to make the best of it. Nobody is good and nobody is bad. Everyone is just a person surviving as best they can. Making decisions that work best for them. Connecting with everyone else in a way that works for them. I’m just a man who likes reading the old books, but at the end of the day, I’m a person same as anyone else who hasn’t become an Alt. So I’ll ask only one more time.

Who will you be?

Welcome to my original role play, Alternative. This serves to gauge interest of course, but some facts about the RP:

Alternative is a character-driven, sandbox style open world RP where the players and their character drama create the stories. Players are free to interact with one another or tell whole stories of their own using their own created NPCs and locations within the world of Alternative. As GM, I’ll pepper the story with interactive world events from time to time players can take part in which are more focused stories with beginnings, middles, and ends and I’ll also have my own player character that will be living their life as well.

Think of Alternative as a sort of supernatural, slice-of-life, character action role play. It’s a mature, 18+, gritty, grim dark kind of game as well so be prepared. Life isn’t always so kind in what it throws at us and how it depicts it.

That’s enough detail for now. The final thing is in spite of the way it sounds, this will be a small group RP, high casual, so I’m looking for five players to join up. As of now, I’m only checking interest in the idea itself. If this gains enough interest, I’ll work up an OOC with more details.

Thanks for reading!

EDIT—I’ve decided to close the role play. Thank you to those who were interested and I’m sorry as well. Things have come up and I won’t be able to dedicate time to it after all.
