The Rutherford Organization: A WW2-era Occult Investigations RP(NO LONGER ACCEPTING NEWCOMERS)

@Avanhelsing That works. I'd imagine he'd have been provided by the one of the Allies' military as an escort guard.

EDIT: Both those ideas work great

Weird Roleplay Ideas You're Afraid To Pitch?

@ELGainsboroughI helped run something like this on another site. It was a tavern whose exterior door could be anywhere, and whose interior door lead to wherever the leaving patron wanted. We had medieval knights sitting alongside intergalactic space pirates. It was great, and if one were to pop up here, I'd be down for it.

As for my own nonsensical RP idea: A Hitchhiker's Guide RP. Just wacky characters galavanting around an equally-wacky setting. I always thought the setting wasn't enough to really base too much off of, but I'd love to do it.

The Rutherford Organization: A WW2-era Occult Investigations RP(NO LONGER ACCEPTING NEWCOMERS)

@DannyrulxI'd imagine it be more that he knows language groupings. Like knowing general "Slavic" language instead of specifically Russian or Polish. He might know "Germanic" instead of specifically German or Dutch. There'd be some room for people to misunderstand him, but he'd still be skilled at deciphering language, so it would be significantly less OP, while still achieving the same goal.

The Rutherford Organization: A WW2-era Occult Investigations RP(NO LONGER ACCEPTING NEWCOMERS)

The year is 1942, and the world is at war, One side on the world stage where everyone can see, the other half behind the curtain. Yet still there is another layer, below the stage and the curtain, in the dark depths that nobody ever gets to see, besides yourselves. Both the Allies, and the Axis have begun investigative programs into lost and forbidden areas, in hopes of finding weapons, secrets, or technologies capable of giving them the advantage necessary to win the war.

In Western Europe, the British forces have begun delving into the lost arts of Pagan Druidic rituals and magic, in hopes of uncovering some way of combating their foes. The Americans, driven by Axis scientific and Occult advances, have begun both a project dedicated to creating superhuman soldiers, known as Project Washington, and consulting with native populations of North America in hopes of utilizing their shamanistic magics against the Axis forces.

The Italians, with their control of Rome and access to Europe’s cathedrals, have forced their way into Catholic vaults to uncover the relics locked within. The Germans have already been active in this field for some time and rumors are they have seen some success, and are delving into the scientific community in search of more powerful fuel sources. The goal being to advance their technological output, while also investigating the ancient runic powers of the Norse and Scandinavians.

The Soviets are rumored to have uncovered significant technology from within the Arctic Ice and the lands of the far North, though their origins are unexplained. The Japanese have begun to experiment with Shinto rituals, while also using the occupation of Chinese and southeast Asian land to investigate ancient ruins and mystic temples in eastern Asia.

You are members of a paranormal investigation agency known as the Rutherford Organization. Founded by Dr. Victor Rutherford in 1919, the group was founded after the discovery of the former Central Powers having performed experiments and research of occult nature in the Balkans during the Great War. Dr. Rutherford has since gone missing, but the organization continues to further this cause, with extra speed thanks to officially-unofficial monetary backing by the Allied forces. The Organization accepts people of all colors, sexes, nationalities, faiths, and creeds, so long as they aren't opposed to aiding the allies in the war effort.

Alright, so here's the OOC for this, what I consider my "child" in terms of RPs or RPG campaigns I've created in my lifetime. I'm really looking forward to running this, so first off the rules!

1. All my decisions are final, subject only to the Guild's rules themselves.
2. No general ruining the RP, this includes things like godmodding, taking control of other characters without permission, etc. Just don't try and take control of the RP.
2. Characters are encouraged to have backstories and personalities that pertain to the political situation of the world, and also those that have the opportunity for inter-party disputes. Lets keep things interesting!
3. This RP will try to maintain a standard of historical accuracy. If anyone can tie a supernatural, paranormal, or occult subject into a real historical event, I wholeheartedly encourage it.
4. No real post length requirement, just keep it grammatically correct, pertaining to recent events, and sufficiently detailed.
5. Players may create as many characters as you wish, but know that you may only control ONE AT A TIME.
6. Have fun, and just be a good person!

@DannyrulxGreat! I've got a couple other people from the original thread in the general interest checks. I'll make an OOC and tag you and them once its done.

@The Fated FallenThat is certainly a possibility, given the situation.

So this is an idea I've been sitting on for a while. I've already got an initial first adventure fully fleshed out, all I need are 3-4 willing participants, and I'm ready to post an OOC. Any takers?
