Devastation
The year is 2163 and it is hell on earth. Quite literally.
Mountains have been split, the seas boil, and cities are engulfed in flames. Demons ravage urban sprawls and countrysides alike, worldwide. Militaries all over the globe are either spread too thin to do any real damage or completely devastated with too few survivors to make a difference. Pockets of resistance are scattered across the planet and there are tales of a mysterious warrior who slays hellspawn by the thousand. Despite that, one could be forgiven for thinking this was the end of humanity's story. A violent and fiery extinction. Some might consider it poetic. Some might consider it deserved. A fitting end for a species that tried one too many times to control a force it didn't understand.
But you beg to differ.
Amidst all the blood, fire, and carnage there is a small squad of fighters who are proving to be a right thorn in the sides of the demon hordes. They carve a bloody path through the ruined cities rescuing survivors and ensuring the safety of holdout settlements. No matter how many times the hellspawn knock them into the dirt, they always come clawing back out. Rising from the ashes. You are part of this squad.
Phoenix Squad
***
Welcome. Phoenix Squad is a fast paced action RP inspired by Doom and Xcom. You will play as a member of the noble and slightly crazy Phoenix Squad, knee deep in demons and blood as you search for survivors and support neighboring settlements in their resistance against the demon invasion. My goal for this RP is 6 to 7 players (including myself), each with a designated specialization and skillset. While this is in casual, it's going to have a more casual-advanced feel. Meaning well thought out and unique characters. This is Pheonix Squad we're talking about, they're a little more special than you're average corporate cultist.
I'm a fairly relaxed GM/DM so we don't have to take things too serious OOC. However I do have some rules:
1. Your character is still a human. You can make them any kind of ex special forces, ex swat, whatever. But they're still human and they still have limits and while Phoenix Squad are certainly capable, they have nothing on the Doom Slayer. He's more the exception than the rule.
2. Keep it civil. The usual stuff, you know what I'm talking about.
3. No metagaming/powergaming. If you and another player want to interact closely that's fine, but you must do it through a collab. Taking direct control of another character through your post will result in a pretty swift kick from me.
If there's enough interest in the concept, I'll get a CS template and an OOC up. Just let me know.
