So, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person here who's been playing Bungie's latest title since their last entry into the halo series, Destiny. This MMO/Shooter hybrid sets the game taking place centuries, maybe even millenniums in the future. A large, City sized, hite spehre, known as "The Traveler" entered our solar system and took residence first on Mars, then later Venus, Mercury, and Earth. The Traveler gave all of humanity the gift of prosperity, proppeling human technology far into the futre, allowing us to inhabit Mars, making Venus habitable, and turning Mercury into a garden planet. For centuries the human race had entered a world, or solar system wide golden age, where everyone prospered. Of course, there's always a catch.
The Darkness, several centuries after the traveler arrived, had attacked. A forced comprised of multiple races and factions, all dedicated to hunting down the traveler, as well as eliminating anything it had helped, aka humans now. The Fallen, an organized alien race that attacked earth with numbers and technology. The Hive, seeding the earth and the moon and setting up temples and cult factions to fight off all others. The Vex, a machine race sharing a single intelligence, turning Mercury into a machine world and moving onto Venus for it's next target, as well as making Mars the home to the source of all Darkness, the Dark Heart. Finally, the Cabal, a militarized race dedicated to eliminating all enemy forces.
These four races each attacked and destroyed anything that wasn't part of the darkness, and sometimes each other, but in the end, the Traveler and Humanity were the main targets. The traveler itself fought against the darkness, and succeeded, but only by sacrificing it's power and itself. However, in it's dying breath, the Traveler spread it's remaining light out to create machines know as Ghosts, as well as giving people a piece of it's light. The Ghosts were tasked to find those touched by the Traveler's light, and awaken their abilities to protect the remnants of humanities, to turn them into Guardians.
So yeah, it's a pretty epic set up to this game. Regardless of how well it goes throughout the game itself after this build up, your character is set up as a dead person, ressurected by a Ghost, and you go on your merry way fighting the armies of darkness along with other guardians. The game fails to mention the tales of the first guardians though, the guardians that were there to fight the armies of darkness as the Traveler was dying.
With that said, this RP will be about the first group of Guardians awoken to their light, chosen to fight the remaining dark races on Earth and push them back to give humanity some breathing room, as well as establish a safe haven for the remaining humans.
So, with the plot and setting of the RP established, I want to see who's interested before I start getting into rules and everything. If I get at least 3 other people interested, I'll start to answer questions as well as establish rules and everything should this get off the ground.
