The Cyber Cult Rises!! (cyberpunk cult rp)

What is the difference between cult and religion?

That is a question that is vauge and difficult to respond to but in this world where the 1% live in ivory towers while implants in the poor make them live meaningless exsistances just for the sake of living. The endless torture of living without meaning, without purpose, without a reason to even take a breath. This is the world that needs a true leader one that will bring light into the these neon streets. For he is The Prophet When he came we were freed from the implants that bound us to endless servitude and saw him as our messiah. For he has given us a reason to live and we shall fight for him, we shall die for him, and we shall kill for him. Long live The prophet!!!

Cult Hierarchy

From highest to lowest:

• The Prophet: He is the man sent by the lord almighty himself! None dare to question him!
• high commanders: Those that followed the prophet in the begining and as such have earned their place at his side (i.e. you)
• Commanders: Those that have earned the right to lead a group under the supervision of the high commanders
• High priests: Those that follow the words of the prophet they leade sermons and heal those with the word of the almighty and the prophet himself. They only perform the most intricate and difficult of rituals.
• Monks: Devoute believers beyond a doubt. They have such strong faith that they are protected by god that they fear no bullets. They are the ones that charge into battle and lead small squads.
• Preachers: They have heard the word of the prophet and they seek to spread the word themselves. They recruit followers into the cult
• Confessors: They force the heathens to confess their sins one way or another! They are the blades in the dark, the assassins of the cult.
• Hackers: For those that are technologically gifted. They are the ones that commune with the numbers that the world now seems to run on. They can hack into infrastructure and steal from banks.
• Worshippers: They are much like devout sisters of the church. They pray on their knees and give thanks for all the lord has given them
• Purifiers: Believers with skill in weaponry. These believers use ranged weapons in a fight and are essential for any battle
• Fanatics: the second lowest worshipper, they believe in the word of the lord beyond all doubt and any word against it is considered blasphamey to them. They kill and die happily in the service of the prophet.
• Followers: The lowest of ranks, they are ordinary people who have been released from the control of the implants and are awaiting to know their calling from the prophet.

cult beliefs

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.

Cyberligion (cyberpunk rp)

Beautiful! Now we got a full 4 alright guess I'll get the ooc up tomorrow. I have work in the morning so I'll get it done by tomorrow night.

Welcome to the cult uprising!!

Cyberligion (cyberpunk rp)

Just need done now guys then we can start, if you know anyone don't be afraid to bring them

Mass Effect: A New Era(TheMM00s3 and Jangel13)

The commander was able to appear in the hanger bay a little before the professor had a chance to show up. He looked like he was looking over his notes one last time before telling her that he was ready for field work. He then said "I'll hold you to that. We have no idea what will be waiting for us once we get there so stay by either me or Angelo" she ordered as they all got into the shuttle. Angelo gave him a nod before he took his seat and the shuttle was off taking them to the science facility.

Cyberligion (cyberpunk rp)

I plan on having the hider for lore up when the ooc is up. If you feel it's easier to pick when that comes up then that's fine

@Master Crim@Nerdy Reference

Awesome happy to hear as for your second question about having something that the cult believes is off godly make I plan on letting the group itself decide. We are the key figures on the front lines and whatever we choose I'll have the prophet adapt that as his teachings when the rp starts.

If you want I can give you what paths are open to us in terms of what our cult believes

Cyberligion (cyberpunk rp)

@Master Crim

I hope your still on board after that. If you want to see where the idea came from look up re:legion you will get my meaning better that way.

From 2 to 3 now just one more

Cyberligion (cyberpunk rp)

It turns into religious zealotry to those below us. Imagine having the compulsion to love out your days without purpose or meaning. Here comes along a man who frees you from such a fate would you not follow him without question? The prophet wants an uprising but he needs to create this cult in order to give them direction. Every member is a fanatic but with a direction. So to answer your question it's a cult uprising

@Master Crim

Cyberligion (cyberpunk rp)

Awesome just need at least 2 more and we can start

Hope that caught your attention :) you see one day i found myself playing a game call re:legion. A game about a cybperpunk universe where the world was controlled by the 1 percent who implanted the nobodies into living lives of depravity and momentary pleasure. This character known as the prophet freed them and as such became, well, the prohpet. Creating a cult in a cybperpunk world. The idea was incredibly interesting but the delievery left a lot to be desired. So I wanted to see if we could turn the idea into an rp

Now the prohet will rarely appear himself as he needs to "spread the good word" and free others from slavery. We are his apostles, commanders, regants, whatever you want to call us. We are the ones that found him before he became the prophet and know who he truly is. Yet we became cult leaders because we wanted to take down the 1% right now this is just an interest check to see who would want in on this unique idea. If enough people are interested ill make an rp thread and we can see about spreading the cults influence BWAHAHAHAHA!
