New RP Interest Check (Some Old ideas, Some New)

I'm intrigued by the cannibal x explorer one! Do you have anything specific in mind?

[High Casual to Low Advance] [18+] Wide array!

I'm always down for MxF or FxF, and I definitely prefer fantasy/mythical-based historical settings, vampires, etc. I have one vampire-related plot in mind that's more modern-day based, but could definitely be interpreted into a past setting. Otherwise I am always open to ideas :)

Resistance: Fall Of Man

_{"Such arrogance...to think that we are a disease to be destroyed,
when in fact we are the evolution of man. You think this planet
is your birthright, but it was first ours. It was ours ages before
you walked upright, and now it shall be once more. Soon your skies
will shine with our stars, and the Earth shall tremble...only then
will you know what it truly means to suffer..."}

» December 1938: Cities are found completely abandoned. No evidence of survivors.

» December 1949: All of Europe is overrun.

» July 11, 1951: Operation: Morningstar begins.</sub>

<sub>The chimeran threat began in Russia. The origin of the virus is unknown.
But its effects were devastating and swift. In the 1930s, reports of biological
experiments began leaking out from Russia. Then reports of villages destroyed
overnight. Then, entire cities. We feared the Russians had developed a weapon
of unparalleled power. The truth was much worse.

The Chimera stayed sealed within Russia for over a decade. Then, in 1949, they
launched an attack that overwhelmed all of Europe in a matter of weeks. For several
months, we thought England was safe. But in October of 1950 the Chimera burrowed
under the channel. We had prepared for them, but in three months time the war was lost.

We abandoned the cities to the Chimera and retreated to scattered military bases and
outposts. The Chimera had won.

On July the 11th, 1951, the Americans launched on assault on the Eastern coast of England.

The story begins with a task force assembled of troops from the US and British army,
banding together and sharing supplies and weapons in hopes of having a better chance
of eliminating the Chimeran threat. However, shortly after landing in York, the forces
are ambushed by the Chimera and the remnants are quickly wiped out by a Chimeran spire
attack, which unleashes insect-like creatures that quickly infect all of the soldiers.

Those who are not brought back to the Chimeran base flee, and continue their mission.
The goal of Operation: Morningstar is to capture the most powerful of the Chimeran
creatures, known as an "Angel." Investigators and scientists believe that, if captured,
the Angel's power over the rest of the Chimera can be harnessed in order to control them.
However things can go terribly wrong, plot twists, etc. etc.</sub>

The Chimera are an alien species hailing from an unknown star system. Originally, it
was believed that gruesome Russian experiments resulted in the creation of the Chimera,
due to their invasion starting out of that country. However, some claimed that the Chimera
were the original inhabitants of Earth and to be "the evolution of man". Whether or not
this is true has yet to be seen but they could simply be stating that the Chimera are
superior to the Human race. It is known that the Chimera invaded Earth seemingly for the
sole purpose of eradicating humankind and claiming Earth for themselves.

ʜʏʙʀɪᴅs

Created from human hosts, the Hybrid is the most common enemy seen in the battlefield.
They are several inches taller than the average human being, are highly agile, and possess
remarkable strength. Overall they are a savage enemy, but are also keen and tenacious.
Hybrids quickly learn the methods of their adversaries. They had already displayed expertise
in British Army tactics by the time of Operation: Morningstar. Beyond their adaptive nature,
the most obvious attribute of Hybrids is their sheer numbers. Hybrids have overwhelmed humans
on every battlefield since the Chimeran invasion first reached the United Kingdom.

TL;DR Hybrids are the foot soldiers of the Chimeran army, and are the most commonly
encountered enemy throughout the war.

ɢʀᴀʏ ᴊᴀᴄᴋs

These Chimera are unarmed and appear to be frail, however, they possess a long
reach and wicked claws, giving them a deadly attack. Intel states that those wounded
by a strike from a Gray Jack suffer injuries that are very difficult to clean and
highly prone to infection, resulting in a high mortality rate. Gray Jacks are never
seen on the front line of combat, implying the Chimera do not regard them favorably
as military units. Gray Jacks are decrepit Hybrids that have have almost outgrown
their bodies. They are not an individual strain of Chimera, since they are simply elderly Hybrids.

Creepy fuckers that look like a mix of a lizard and a scorpion. These things

Crawlers are insect-like creatures that serve as vectors that transmit the Chimeran Virus.
The strain is capable of limited flight, but they are often deployed by spire missiles,
though they are kept in conversion centers and sent into holding pens where uninfected
prisoners are kept. Upon locating their target, the Crawlers begin to penetrate the victim's
body, usually through the airway passages of the mouth or the nose. Once this has been
accomplished, they begin to inject the Chimeran virus throughout the body; after this process
is completed, the Crawlers decompose into the host's body and complete the infection stage.

---

ᴀɴɢᴇʟ

Angels are the highest ranking strain of Chimera. The strain assumes command roles over
the other strains of the Chimeran virus, giving them a great deal of influence among the
species as a whole. The extent of this connection is unclear.

ʙᴜʟʟsᴇʏᴇ

The Bullseye is one of the most versatile and useful weapons of the Chimera.
It is the main firearm used by Chimeran Hybrid foot soldiers and therefore one
of the most commonly seen weapon throughout the war. Quick to fire, while providing
reasonable damage, the Bullseye is very good at close quarters. Using the secondary
fire, enemies can be "tagged". The tag acts as a tracking beacon for the primary
fire bullets and unless something physical is in the way, the bullets will not miss.

ᴀᴜɢᴇʀ ʀɪғʟᴇ

The Auger fires salvos of transient radiation that will tunnel through solid matter
and increase in power with each object they burrow through without causing damage
to matter itself. Hard surfaces are unaffected, but organic tissue will be severely
burned. The Auger does have a relatively small ammunition capacity, but the salvos
ignore cover so they are all potentially lethal. The Auger's secondary fire deploys
a small rectangular force barrier that is impervious to all weapon fire except from
other Auger rounds. Enemies will suffer damage if they move through the barrier.

ʜᴇᴅɢᴇʜᴏɢ ɢʀᴇɴᴀᴅᴇ

The Hedgehog Grenade is the standard Chimeran hand-held explosive.
The hedgehog grenade when thrown will hover upwards into the sky at about man's
height then fire all it's needles in every direction impaling nearby enemies to
the ground and walls. More effective than fragmentation grenades as it will explode
in mid-air instead of on the ground.

The M5A2 Folsom Carbine is the standard-issue rifle of the US Army Rangers.
The Folsom is nicknamed "the paddle" for its wide wooden stock and ability to
"spank" an enemy. The M5A2 uses the same .303 round as the British rifle, No. 6 Mk 6.

---

ʜᴇ .44 ᴍᴀɢɴᴜᴍ

The High Explosive (HE) .44 Magnum is a handgun. The Magnum appears as an ordinary
pistol, but it fires remote-detonated lithium bullets with the weapon's alternate
fire. As a result, this weapon has commonly been described as "overpowered".

ғʀᴀɢᴍᴇɴᴛᴀᴛɪᴏɴ ɢʀᴇɴᴀᴅᴇ

The Frag Grenade is exceedingly powerful and can easily kill Hybrids and other low
order Chimeran forces. It can be thrown extremely far, but also has a set detonation
time. Hence, if thrown too far, the Grenade will explode mid-air and most likely cause
minimal damage to an enemy.

_{The Cloven are a faction of Human/Chimera hybrids who were formerly human beings.
They suffer from from delusions, panic attacks, and strange visions. As humans,
they were infected with the chimeran virus, but resisted its full effects, not
going into the coma typically associated with the beginning stages of infection--
instead possessing increased strength, health regeneration, gold-coloured irises,
and the ability to use Chimeran weaponry.
Later in the RP, complications arise as these "strange visions" are revealed to be
mental communications from the Angel-- picked up by Cloven due to the Chimeran virus
in their blood. This complication is utilized in order to find the Angel and ultimately
capture it-- The closer the troops are to the Angel, the more frequent and more vivid
the visions become.}

ᴏᴠᴇʀᴠɪᴇᴡ

This roleplay assumes that GLaDOS was never created. Instead, Cave Johnson's idea of
artificial intelligence was used to create new test subjects. He created both fully-automated
robots as well as humans enhanced with robotic parts and attributes, using the fully automated
robots to conduct tests while secretly releasing the hybrids, disguised as fellow scientists
within the research facility.

At first, the fully automated robots are used as a "control group" -- pitted against human test
subjects in order to better record optimal testing speed and efficiency.
However, eventually the need for human test subjects runs out as the AIs have very accurate
simulated biology and react to tests almost 100% as humans would. Eventually, a new market is
discovered: Virtual Reality. The control group is kept as-is while new AIs are developed to be
controlled remotely through a VR headset. These new robots become somewhat of a body prosthetic
extended from the human mind, all motions and actions operated by their human controller.

The potential uses for these RC AIs are endless -- the public could use them to go and pick up
groceries, to drive their kids to school, even to perform their jobs for them, all from the comfort
of their own homes. However, as artificial intelligence advances further and further, people begin
to notice "malfunctions" with their AIs, such as doing things on their own without being told to do so.
Over time, the self-awareness of all forms of Aperture AI increases to the point that they are almost
completely indiscernible from humans.

_{Aperture Science:
We do what we must, because we can.
For the good of all of us,
except the ones who are dead.}

ᴘʟᴏᴛ

The RP begins a couple decades after the finalized product is developed and released.
Artificial Intelligence has been fully integrated into society. The AIs go about their lives
as everybody else does -- they have jobs, they form relationships, and millions of jobs have
been created within the AI industry, with "jailbreaking" becoming a common practice as tech-savvy
humans add modifications to their AI counterparts in order to add desired functions.

Twice a year, all AIs, VR, automated and hybrid alike, receive a transmission to return to Aperture
for follow-up testing and upgrades. However, shortly after arriving, a large group of AIs malfunction
violently, causing several deaths and the total destruction of Aperture's artificial intelligence wing,
making the network connection between the existing AIs and Aperture to be permanently severed, thus rendering
the AIs completely independent (other than those controlled through VR.)

The EPA is alerted to the issue and immediately orders that every single Aperture AI be disabled and destroyed --
an event that was never anticipated by Aperture, and proves to be very difficult considering there are very
few discernible differences between humans and bots. This causes the AIs themselves to go several different
ways -- some killing others for self-preservation and to cause humans to believe they are one of them, others banding
together and going into hiding, but there is little they can do; all airports and international borders are
now equipped with metal detectors as the government sets out on a mission to identify and destroy all AIs.
Random checks are permitted in many workplaces, and all humans in possession of a VR android are ordered to
recall it immediately and report it to the EPA -- causing a fight for control in the minds of the VR AIs
between themselves and their controllers. Some other humans form a coalition for AI Rights, becoming
abolitionists of sorts and establishing a makeshift underground railroad. Other AIs believe no humans
can be trusted and suggest that all AIs come together in uprising, destroy the humans and effectively
take over the world.

Oh My Gods- Always Accepting

Melaena Vlastisi

Gender: Female

Age: 21

Sexuality: Bisexual

Godly ancestor: Persephone

Son/daughter or further removed: Daughter

Relationship with godly ancestor: Close, but tense. As Mel has come of age and breached
into adulthood, she's gained a slowly growing angst toward her mother due to their abilities being,
as she considers them, "lame" in comparison to all of the others surrounding her. For this, she
blames her mother and grandmother, despite their lack of control over the situation.

Relationship with mortal family: Mel's father is a quiet, soft-spoken man, which is perhaps
what his appeal was to Persephone -- he could not be further opposite of Hades. While most would
consider these attributes weak, Melaena admires her father's simple personality and lifestyle,
and because of this, she feels comfortable and safe with him.

Powers: Persephone, being the goddess of Vegetation, and Queen of the Underworld, passed
down not only her environmental influence powers to her daughter, but also an angst and
dissatisfaction with the world that would rival that of popular alternative bands. All joking aside,
Melaena is able to manipulate plants and, at times, the dirt/earth surrounding it.

Personality: Sarcastic, witty, and cynical with an underlying sweetness that came from her
father. Fiercely protective and independent, to the point that she comes off as defensive. Lost and
constantly trying to find her place in the world.

Bio: Born to the goddess Persephone and human David Vlastisi, Mel grew up in rural Texas.
Her father was a gardener, and from a very young age, Mel could tell you the type of tree based on
the leaf, bark patterns, and everything about it from its age to its preferred weather and season.
As she got older, she was often patronized for her father's profession and eventually began to avoid
all things plant-related. She became anti-social and modest, trying desperately to keep out of the
spotlight and get attention away from her.

☽ Remedy, a Summer Camp for “Wayward Juveniles” ☾

I'm very interested in this but I have a quick question -- what kinds of abilities are typical to each race? Do we just go with things that are historically typical? (Like vampires can run fast and are super strong, witches can use energy or telepathy / telekenesis, etc.) or does it matter? I just wanna make sure that if I were to create a vampire character, for instance, that it lines up with the lore of whatever other vampires are in the RP.

Awesome! I've got a couple things to take care of, some posts to make in other RPs (as you know Smiley :P) and as soon as I get that taken care of I will get an OOC up for this! If you guys happen to have characters in mind already feel free to post them here and I can pre-approve before we post them in the OOC. Otherwise, I'll have one up before tomorrow morning :) Thanks for the interest! Looking forward to RPing with you all!
