I just think it's funny how
all the people I used to know
that'd say things like
"I wish I lived in
more interesting times"
are awfully fucking quiet now.

Marcus Lupeworth

Marcus turned on his heel and began to walk away, sighing in defeat. The pretty redhead - that hair couldn’t be natural - Sidney, made it abundantly clear that he, and most of the other folks around her, ought to clear out. Marcus wasn’t quite sure what to make of the new host. She was easy on the eyes, at least. And besides, her words earlier implied a free meal might be in the works further down the line. He long ago resolved that anyone willing to buy him food was worth befriending, or at the very least, staying on good terms with.

Sucking on the sweet caramel in his mouth thoughtfully, his mind drifted to the other individuals present. Next to Sidney, Trench Coat guy was certainly the one to make the biggest impression on him. Dwight something or other, Marcus thought. He seemed just a bit miffed about something to say the least. That fellow certainly wasn’t hard to look at himself, but he seemed just a tad scary.

Deeper into his thoughts Marcus sank, so deep in fact, that he wound up walking right into an unsuspecting employee while Scarlet snickered to herself. “Oh, hey, sorry about that.” - Here now Marcus began to rub the back of his neck awkwardly for a while, to really sell the fact that he was apologetic. He, in fact, was not. - “Anyways, I’m incredibly lost, and you are?”

@Bourgeoisie My 70ish year old friend, who is also a war vet and has worked in construction, has also never once complained about his "old bones". He's actually quite spry. I am just being realistic here, but seeing as how you likely will not concede, we could always say suspension of disbelief in an anime themed roleplay allows this.
@Cinderella Man That is true enough, but my brother is just six years younger than Dwight, a war veteran, and doesn't seem to have trouble with that sort of thing. Boot camp, the training that follows, and war itself is certainly more taxing than construction.
It would be interesting to see a roleplay in which the players really are weak and nearly defenseless against the monsters. I think numerous and varied monsters with characteristics ranging from the deadly intelligence of the xenomorphs all the way to the sheer power and size of the titans roaming a world populated by sparse human survivors trying to last another day in any way they can would be interesting.

Perhaps two to three known species of creatures with various sub-species could be implemented to prevent things from getting stale with the same enemies, but also controlled so new monsters don't just get created left and right.

I like the idea of a futuristic world brought to ruin in some way or another, so advanced technology is present but not always common or in working condition. Seeing people play as cyborgs, androids, or straight up robots alongside regular humans would please me personally.

The players could have their own personal drives and goals, while a good overarching mission could be to find a sort of "kill switch" for the creatures, a working vessel that can carry them away from the planet, or perhaps a city/location that is fabled to be impenetrable against the monsters.

Having it written that "the end" arrived around twenty years before the role play starts would be a good idea, I think. Characters with multiple perspectives would be present, with some having been born into this world, while others would either have been very young when it happened or perhaps have had their own lives going for them before it was all ruined.

A good system for worldbuilding would be to allow people to write (within parameters you set of course) their own locations, technology, people, and cultures into their backstories, giving you a plethora of lore and content to work with when managing this world for everyone.

There you go, plenty of suggestions for you. I say why ask questions when you can create the answer yourself. :)

@Bourgeoisie Tbh 37 really isn't that old, certainly not old enough to have someone of that age describe their bones as "old" and "tired".


So I'm trying to garner a good understanding of the current events, let me know if what I have is incorrect.

1. Deon unleashed some sort of virus that is royally fucking all of the humans in the nearby area.

2. Hank is dying, her daughter is trying to revive him.

3. Some of Kurai's characters are trying to save Mithias, Lucan shows up desperate to be turned. I think Bedivere is here too?

To sum it up, there's a big confrontation going on between most of the major characters at Deon's hideout. Is this correct?

@Wraithblade6
It's probably going to be a while before I post here though, I want to make sure I can keep up with everyone else before you all end up waiting on me again.
@Kurai Assassin
I already sent them an apology privately, explaining my situation as well.

For the record though:

Wraith, Grey, and all of the players here at Blood Compact,

I am sorry for my behavior.

@Thundercrash I've suffered greatly in the past in roleplays by not being involved enough with other players, so I tried to get myself close to the action without disrupting anything.
