[OOC] The Cyber Cult Rises!! (cyberpunk cult rp)

[Master Crim]

@Jangel13 Yes, something came up at work that had some unforeseen affects that are still settling into place. I have tomorrow off so I will be trying to get my piece finished by then.

[Arreyis]

I'm here, just waiting on final decisions to be made. I'm really not picky at all, just wanna get started. :-)

[Jangel13]

@Master Crim
Gotcha

@Arreyis

And don't worry I want to start too but we need to establish the base for the cult. Base meaning what the cult actually believes

[Jangel13]

@Eviledd1984

Perfect just look at the rules and you can put him in the tab

@Arreyis@Eviledd1984

What do you two think of this as our cult teachings:

The path of Cyber-occultism
The singularity is the next step to salvation.
Enhancements bring us to a better understanding of his sacred being.


We search for true sanctification in augmentations

This cult is one of self awakening and realization. The Prophet has opened our eyes to see that we were never living our lives, but droning through them. We were simply playing the part that society had picked for us, never getting a chance to choose for ourselves what career we want to pursue. Through the Prophet, the lord has shown us what true salvation is. He has shown us that cybernetics are the path to true perfection of soul, but have been perverted by the powers at hand. By our awakening we can turn what is being used for control, into the life giving freedom of the soul.

God's First Touch
An early development model of realistic Cybernetic Arms. They are prototype of the first human realistic augmentations, one masculine and the other feminine, and can not be touched by anyone but the prophet. They are considered to be the Adam and Eve of augmentations.

Advantage
With the cult being centralized on augmentations the engineers of the cult are always trying new enhancements and various modifications, this allows the cult to be on the bleeding edge of most body tech. Their work pushes the limits of physical capacities as the reverse engineer and restructure augments to be more durable, have faster response times, and better handling of various software. Their work has proven in some cases to be better than both commercial and private sector tech like security drones, and military armaments.

Disadvantage
With the modifications and enhancements being experimental in the early stages of use there is a "high risk equals high reward" mentality as the engineers try to push the limits of what can and can't be done. Most of these trials are carried out on volunteers and some times prisoners due to the potential for deadly consequences. Even when they do work out this tech is highly susceptible to Augmentation Rejection Disorder where the brain can't cope with the changes causing disassociation leading to catatonia or coma, and cyber-hijacking where outside forces gain access to the implants of an individual and corrupt the software that keeps it under user control causing them to go into a frenzied state.

@Jangel13

It looks good.

[Arreyis]

Works for me. It'll be a challenge for me to play a bad guy who believes she's doing good.

[Jangel13]

Since everyone is in agreement that means we can finally start :)

I'll get the starter up this Friday, time for this cult to rise!

[Arreyis]

I'll get a post in in a few hours. Got stuffs to do round the house. Sylina has a day job, and it's taking care of two kids, lol.

[Eviledd1984]

Just gonna wait for people to post before i post something.

@Jangel13
Is physical currency still prevalent at this point or has it been ousted in favor of some kind of credit?

[Jangel13]

@Master Crim

Physical currency no longer exists and only "credits" are around

[Shadow Dragon]

Can I make a assassin with a virus gun?

[Jangel13]

@Shadow Dragon

What you want is to be a mix of a confessor and hacker in one correct? You can't lead the confessors but you can lead the hackers if you want

[Shadow Dragon]

Oh, ok. I was more thinking a hired killer, but that sounds cool.

[Master Crim]

@Shadow Dragon I too thought at first that we were to choose small roles, but we are going to be playing the Command roles for the cult which I was pleasantly surprised by.

[Arreyis]

I finally had time to get something up. Sorry guys ^^;;

[Shadow Dragon]

Well, more like Neoshaman/Cyberoccul kinda guy. He wants a single, united hive mind, but he secretly wants to use that to control the world by hacking into it.

[Jangel13]

@Shadow Dragon

Well the prophet would avoid planning you in a role of power to prevent that since he wants men to be free from the slavery of corporations and you would just want to do the same thing

[Shadow Dragon]

He wouldn't tell anyone about his ambitions.
