Devil Summoner: Hero Insurrection

Devil Summoner

Hero Insurrection

Opening Theme: youtube.com/watch?v=NuuXxXyH7kA

Hundreds of years ago the King of Demons, Solomon had commanded an army of demons, and become the bearer of the Ark of the Covenant, a rare feat for a man to command both the graces of heaven and the powers of hell.

His reign and its influence has disappeared for many ages, but the remnants of his influence remain.

Demon Summoners, people who have taken on the art of commanding demons into battle are a continuing art, that continues to this day, vying for the the one thing that has yet to be recovered of the founder of their art, the Ark of the Covenant.

They say he who beholds the Ark and obtains the grace of God gains the right to kingship of the world.

Demon Summoners of all kinds converge onto the city of Kirigashima after hearing about the mysterious death of a famous Demon Summoner, the peculiar circumstances to his death pointing to only one thing. He beheld the Ark, and died as he was unworthy.

With the hopes of being worthy, ambitious Summoners move onto the island, but little do many of them know… The Ark brought forth more than just it’s promise of power.

Equally ambitious demons have began appearing, being more than simple monsters with their own minds, these dangerous demons have formed contracts with Summoners they deem worthy or worth using, with only one goal in mind. Possess the Ark.

Story and Setting

COMP Building

Character Sheet

Ayyyyy I have no visuals yet, but I'll just get this out there first.

Just a note, the RP takes place in a fictional town in Shikoku in Japan, during the year of 1962. The Kuzunoha families are a thing in this, but I suggest making something entirely new, as I have opened the way to having even characters who are completely fresh to Devil Summoning be allowed to join the fray, should they be given a COMP and a Contract Demon.

Interested

[Notorious Guy]

This sounds sick! Interested!

EDIT: This is just a new account, I do have experience in RP'ing xD

[Lauder]

Ill cast my interest in!

[Sho Minazuki]

For the time being I'll be overseeing people's ideas for characters if they are interested.

Before that, you guys will need to know about the major faction characters who are associated with each alignment.

Faction Leaders

]
CHAOS Faction Commander - Kamen Rider Hatred
Syndicate B.L.A.C.K Leader, Mitsuhide Sasaki
Contract: Soneillon, he who tempts men to hate.

Mitsuhide Sasaki is the son of the world famous GenX corporation, known mainly for their R&D, they have also taken to developing technology for military. The Syndicate known as B.L.A.C.K was created by him, on the cover it's yet another R&D company, but is in fact yet another group of Devil Summoners. They deal with supernatural events around the world like mercenaries and take a very pragmatic approach in both dealings and business, and have been known to get up to shady dealings with the underworld as well. Though they make good on what they're paid for, some of the best, but also some of the most costly. As some may say, it's like making a deal with a very skilled devil.

Mitsuhide himself has shown up to this grand stage, his goals seem clear, but the brutality of his syndicate combined with his father's R&D resources, he brings with him a lot of heat, for he is here to win.

LAW Faction Commander - Kamen Rider Empress
Junsei Sekai Tensei Cult Leader, Akatsumachi Shihouin
Contract: Khshathra Vairya, the Desirable Dominion

Akatsumachi Shihouin is the venerable leader of the Junsei Sekai Tensei cult, seeking a new world she leads her followers to Kirigashima in search of the Ark, as she says, god's messengers have come to her, and that this is the way to the promised land. The Junsei Sekai Tensei is one of the most dangerous cults in recent years, known mainly for terrorist activities, although they were not always like this. Like any cult when rising up, were largely peaceful, however it can be owned to Akatsumachi herself, as she had only recently become their leader, and coinciding with her rise to power, the cult's activities began to become more violent.

Though she claims to come and give salvation and sustenance to those who accept her dominion, she is completely ruthless to those who disobey, especially to those who turn on her "good will". She unlike others in this battle, feels entitled to the victory, and she doesn't hide that.

NEUTRAL Faction Commander - Kamen Rider Bushido
Global Summoner Association Japanese Operations Commander, Shichiro Asagaki
Contract: Tadakatsu Honda, the indomitable general

Shichiro Asagaki is the Shikoku branch's leader for the GSA, the Global Summoner Association. Founded by one of the head families of the Kuzunoha clan, it was formed on the dawn of the introduction of COMPs into regular circulation for those involved with the supernatural, as a way to properly organize efforts worldwide. As such, they have great amounts of funding and support from all families of the Kuzunoha clan. Shichiro Asagaki is from one of the branch families, and is their residing heir.

He stands in Kirigashima with a new base of operations in order to oversee events, as well as protect the peace of the people of the town. A great battle is going to be waged, and he would prefer both sides just up and leave, but his warrior's spirit desires to be sated. As such, he will not hesitate to join the fray should a fight break out.

Of course you don't have to be part of any of them and go it your way, but having an ally or faction to fight for does have it's benefits. However I would like to say, nothing in this RP is exclusive to any faction, you can always obtain an item that's in play one way or another, either by being given it, inventing one (run that by me), or even stealing it.

[Notorious Guy]

@Sho MinazukiSo from what I understand, everyone gets one Demon (the contract one). However, I am a little confused when the G-Dics talk about summoning more than one demon. Do we make the extra demons up as well?

[DarkwolfX37]

Interested, though admittedly Devil Summoner is one of the few SMT games I have no experience with, (Unless you count Soul Hackers which I've forgotten most of.) so I apologize in advance if I assume something works the way it would in another SMT-verse rather than the way it should in Devil Summoner.

[Notorious Guy]

Oh shit is this based off of a game?

[Sho Minazuki]

Yep, it is. Devil Summoner is a series of SMT games. One of it's many series.

To answer your question @Notorious Guy, yeah. You can have multiple demons, but not at the start. Throughout the RP, new demons will pop up, they will be ones directly from the SMT series, so no unique designs, and will be stored into Kuda that can be used with your COMP. While most demons will simply cause your form to recolor, there are some demons that are compatible with your contract demon, thereby causing them to fuse and give you a new form when you transform.

You can also summon them normally like you would in Devil Summoner or other SMT games and fight alongside them rather than slotting them in for a transformation by equipping the right modules (see COMP building).

This is all new to the series, and isn't in any of the games, but if you're a fan of Kamen Rider, you'll be more or less aware of how it works.

It takes place in the same world as Devil Summoner, with more or less the same rules, but leans more on new rules that the setting accelerated into the future provides.

Simply put, it's in the same universe, but I'm doing a lot differently it may as well be completely new, although relevant rules in the original series will continue to apply here.

[Sho Minazuki]

Just a short bump on this.

[IgaFlan]

I'm definitely interested if this goes ahead. I'm also in the boat of Devil Summoner being one of the SMT series I'm less familiar with. That said, I'm sure it won't take me too long to get a grasp on things.

[itano123]

sorry forgot was dead, but yes i join

[Sho Minazuki]

Yeah it's pretty simple if you know tokusatsu.

[itano123]

well u already know what im doin

[Sho Minazuki]

It'll go on ahead if I get confirmation from 3-4 players by the way. That's all I need to start with.

[EnterTheHero]

Interest: confirmed.

[Sho Minazuki]

@IgaFlan@Notorious Guy@Lauder

Giving this a little bump because I will start it soon. I probably should've been clear that I wanted to see what characters you guys wanted to run with.

It'd been delayed because of reasons.
