*THINGS TO NOTE!*
-Alma can dick with people. Hallucinations, paranormal phantoms capable of physical attack, flinging objects/people across the room, electrical interference and structural alterations to the environment to individually separate faction members can all be done at a moment's notice. Killing is generally not permitted unless requested by the player.
-Paxton is generally not malicious but can serve to intimidate or disrupt operations of those in the area, most notably by issuing orders to his battalion of Replicas scattered within the many locations of Fairport.
-Please keep custom OC's realistic to the setting. Supernatural abilities are allowed, just don't be OP with them.
-In F.E.A.R 's setting, not much is known of other supernatural abilities besides psychokinesis, mind control, teleportation and, tissue liquification. As it stands to more or less prevent this from becoming an X-Men RP, I STRONGLY urge that if you're going to make a character with supernatural abilities, please be limited in use, don't have an OP power, and be reasonable. As for event characters, tag me as well as the others you're intending to use your powers on. Only Paxon, Alma, Nightcrawler Elites and F.E.A.R members can have abilities.
-Event characters aside from Alma are given their very own compliment of military forces. They are the generals leading their men into battle.
-Alma and Fettel are mother and son. Paxton's ultimate end goal is reunification with his separated mother and using whatever means to achieve it.
-People who leave will have their characters locked in stasis (meaning that Alma or Fettel's player can possess them as that character in order to kill them off.
-Characters that end up dying can be replaced as a reinforcement until one faction remains victorious. (WIP, gonna need help on this guys)
-Just so I can have a leg in the storyline as well, [the majority of actions I would like to see shape out under your guy's awesome creativity], I will be commanding Echo Company located at Command Post Theta. The rest of the events with the exception of location captures, destruction/area sabotage and influence of player-character actions will be handled by you lovelies! Think of this as like a Rimworld-like experience, except I'm not a total douche like Randy Random. Be sure to tag me when you perform one of these vital actions!
We good? Aight. Storytime!
This universe will take place in the Resurgence timeline, circa 2025-2026. Unstated, this universe is a hybrid of the Monolith/Vivendi timelines, however several notable changes are made:
[2025]
-Armacham Headquarters is evacuated and the Origin facility obliterated following the reactor detonation; Alma Wade was released by Harlan, and subsequently survived within the facility's collapse. The Pointman's fate remains unknown, with Fettel presumed killed moments prior to the facility's destruction. Auburn District and the rest of Fairport begin to focus on rebuilding the damages.
-Beckett's psionic signal unintentionally activates several hidden Replica cloning facilities around Fairport. Proceeding to receive information by Replica Commanders who have been upgraded by the Variant VII through unknown and possibly premeditated methods, Beckett takes advantage of this and proceeds to order renovation of the operational ATC facilities under a new military and scientific contracting domain, Hyperion Defense Force.
-Beckett, still working with Dark Signal, integrates the unit into Hyperion and proceeds to staff the facilities around Fairport to oversee Replica cloning processes, Government projects, and various aerospace, military, government and scientific contracts alongside their own operations and facility expansion across the United States. F.E.A.R is registered as a black-ops unit within HDF.
-ATC’s facility director has been replaced by retired Marine Officer Richard Vanek following Genevieve Aristide’s arrest and execution on numerous counts of crimes against Humanity. Vanek has sworn an oath to bury the hatchet with ATC’s past history; seeking to reinstate the company as the world’s global science corporation and scrutinizing HDF operations. Naturally, a rivalry has ensued between the two corporations because of this.
[2026]
-The U.S is in a state of technological superiority, with much of the world beginning to show increasing interest and investment into Hyperion’s military and scientific technologies. The government has begun to fight off tariffs and trade embargos as a result of refusal to accept bioweapon and paranormal research contracts; many shareholders investing into the now reactivated ATC instead. Countries such as the Russian Federation, China and even the UN are beginning to drop HDF in favor of supporting ATC.
-One of ATC’s previous financial backers and political supporters, The Senator, has resurfaced following a year of absence. Attempts to locate him have failed, and he is believed to be in-command of the mysterious Nightcrawler PMC. It is unknown what his current political and military goals are at this time.
-[Unknown time.] Citizens of Fairport and the New Auburn District have begun to report headaches, nosebleeds, disorientation and feelings of being watched. Radio signals are occasionally blocked by bursts of static interference, followed by the symptoms observed above. The city and district is now kept monitored by F.E.A.R operators, and guarded by HDF. Evacuation centers are being prepared within Fairport should an evacuation be needed. Within the chaos, factions are scrambling to assert their dominance and control over the city of Fairport.
This is where you come in, and your actions will ultimately influence the outcome of Fairport and the rest of the world.
-Strategic locations-
Wade Elementary School/Paragon Facility: Commissioned and developed by Armacham to train future 'gifted' children into Harbinger candidates (later Abominations), this schoolhouse would serve as an excellent Forward Operations Base to any of the factions that can capture it. Just be aware that you won't be the only creature to roam the halls of the abandoned school.
Armacham HQ: The creme de la creme (?) of what keeps the wheels of corruption turning, the main facility of Armacham Technologies Corporation houses many floors, lots of supplies, and an underground facility. Bringing this building down via capture or destruction, along with Site Bravo, will push the ATC out of control.
Armacham's Secondary HQ (Site Bravo): ATC Forces will start here, with the main and foremost objective being to recapture the primary HQ and eliminate the hostile factions occupying the city
Stillwater Island: Helicopter transport is needed to get to the hidden Replica cloning facility. Those that can get there either have the option of destroying it or creating Variant VII Replica forces for an edge in battle. Either option will hinder or benefit another faction.
Command Post Theta: The only CP left standing, this Post harbors an 'Impaired' NPC Replica faction; registered as being neither under Paxton nor Alma's direct control. Having been activated into a neutral state by the combined psionic emissions of Paxton, Micheal Beckett, and Alma, this Replica faction can be assumed under control of any faction that gets to the Commander, assuming they're not shot dead under the ensuing gunfight. This would be a wise choice, as aerial transport to Stillwater will take some time to acquire.
Auburn District: This destroyed and evacuated district was once home to the lowest class of citizenry before the evacuation, with many living in poverty and unsanitary conditions. This section is quite expansive and is home to the Southside Wastewater Treatment Planet, Auburn Memorial Hospital, and the Old Underground Metro Complex.
Southside Water Treatment Plant: This will be the location is which the F.E.A.R Team is inserted into the city. Destruction/Enemy capture of this location will push F.E.A.R forces and SFOD-D presence out of Fairport.
Auburn Memorial Hospital: This Memorial Hospital can serve as an improvised outpost and an excellent place to regroup and treat the injured. Left shortly following the Origin Facility's destruction, it still contains a huge cache of supplies.
Warehouse: This location will be where Paxton is initially located, with his battalion of Replica Forces having secured and locked down the area. As it stands, this area is a crucial source of weapons, ammo, vehicles and additional supplies not found anywhere else within Fairport.
Old Underground Metro Area: This area still has functioning trains and boasts a massive network of underground tunnels linking to various parts of the city (all locations but Stillwater Island, Wade Elementary and the two Armacham facilities are accessible. Additionally, taking the control room offline will disable all trains in the Metro, making it a hinderance (or a benefit if you're just that malicious) for factions.

Your objective is to detonate the Armacham HQ and the cloning facility on Stillwater Island. Eliminate all traces of Replica, Nightcrawler and F.E.A.R operatives. Contain or destroy Alma Wade and Paxton Fettel.

You are containing (or) neutralizing Paxton Fettel, eliminating the ATC, and potentially F.E.A.R as you make your way to Stillwater Island to regain production of the Replicas, then with your new armies, assume control of the Armacham HQ and drive ATC out of Farpoint, by any means. Your secondary objective is to extract DNA samples of Paxton and Alma dead, contained, or alive.
