Stolen Lives: A Runaway Story



The Daedalus Corporation thanks you for your compliance. Together, we will build a brighter future.

Your life has been stolen.
It doesn’t matter who you were before you came here – maybe you were a soldier press-ganged into something you didn’t understand, a sick person so desperate for a cure you signed your life away, or maybe some random schmuck off the street they bundled into a van. Daedalus Corp has you now, and you’ll never be the same. They cut you open, took things, added things, ripped you apart and put you back together again as something else. You’re a guinea pig, a test subject, another one of the bones paving the way to the golden future. But that’s going to change, soon. You, and the poor souls like you, you’re gonna find a way to get out; and when you do, you’ll have a choice to make. Run and hide, or make these bastards pay.

Welcome to Stolen Lives! This will be a small group, high-casual RP in which players will take the role of test subjects experimented on and twisted by the Daedalus Corporation, an omnidisciplinary evil science organization with their fingers in everything from weapons manufacture to space exploration to biotech. Any concept goes – you can be a cyborg, a super soldier, the carrier of a deadly pathogen which gives you supernatural abilities, a mutant, a hybrid of man and animal – really, if an evil scientist could have turned someone into it, you can play it. There will be an emphasis on action as well as relationship building and character development, as player characters will need to come to rely on each other over the course of the story. It will begin with the players still imprisoned at a classified Daedalus Corp facility, and follow their story as they break free and try to stay free from the Daedalus agents out to recapture them. Expect body horror, black comedy, righteous violence, and a group of broken people coming together to find out how to be human again.




Rules




  • The usuals – no godmoding, powerplaying, if characters must get naughty take it to pms, so on and so forth.
  • Don’t be a jerk. I have absolute faith in you that you can achieve this.
  • You can keep anything about your character secret from the other characters, just make sure you PM me and let me know what it is!
  • I’m capping this RP at a strict five players. Applications will not be first come first served – once sheets are in, I’ll establish a day when I announce all the accepted simultaneously.
  • Writing standard is high-casual, so some minimum standards of grammar and legibility will be expected. At least one brief post a week is the target, and please inform me if you’re going to be away longer!




Character Sheet


Feel free to mess with the CS skeleton all you want, as long as all the questions get answered. This is just a helpful guideline.

All are welcome to apply! No spots are taken yet. In terms of powers, anything goes, really, as long as it fits roughly in the realm of science-fiction. I'm available if you have specific questions!

Really great stuff, guys! It's amazing to see so much response to this idea so quickly. I've decided that the deadline for CS submissions will be on the 13th - if anyone needs more time than that, you're welcome to discuss it with me, but that seems like a good place to set it. I'll be reviewing and giving my thoughts on CS's as they're posted, so those of you who already have can expect that by tonight / tomorrow morning.

Thank you all so much!
