2035. Corruption still runs unchecked in the United States government. Unseen abominations are encountered in the suddenly rapidly growing forests of Earth. Israel has executed OPERATION SAMSON, leaving the Middle East an irradiated wasteland. The Reformed Soviet Union pushes into Eastern Europe. This has all been expected, when suddenly... [i]Men of faith and any cause! Look around you! The Brink is finally here! Do youb wish to be merely forgotten? Consumed by this tide of apocalypse? If not join us— Oracle![/i] That brodcast has been covered all across the United States, and in most parts of Western Europe. With the United States Armed Forces, even down to every police officer in arms and over seas, the fanatical cult ORACLE rises to power in Congress, further legitimizing their claim to being capable of salvstion. Who will rise to stop Oracle? Another nationwide broadcast. [i]Attention people— fuckin scratch that, SANE people of America. Look around you. Oracle is a scourge on this nation. It’s claws run deep in society, and they plan to expand worldwide. If you wanna help stop this, Horizon can help.By May 15th, come to...[/i] —— Welcome to the RP info stuff! Overworld has been an idea of mine for five years. I’ve been told to convert it to a DnD campaign, and I thought, why not try it here? Plot: A group of 5-12+ greenhorn individuals, from soldiers to mages from alternate realms, lead the, stretching it to start, finest unit of the mercenary company Horizon in the war on the extremist cult Oracle. Little do they know of the fiends in the forests of this Earth, let alone the Multiverse... DISCLAIMER: This RP will have disturbing content, and is based off of current events. What to expect: Modern fantasy action/intrigue with a dash of philosophy on the idea of extremism. Other than that a damn good time! Plot format: Upon meeting up at Horizon HQ and training (skipable if desired), the party will go on missions. From the police work that needs done to actually engaging in (hopefully) weeding out Oracle, the party members will gain experience and become more seasoned in merc work. There will be BREAKS IN THE ACTION where the players can spend time with other players, train, rest... it’s up to you. CHARACTER MECHANICS/LIMITS: Up to two player controlled primary characters and two NPC/player controlled secondary characters. Additions/exceptions can be made for certain story arcs. Being a Multiverse RP, your character can be from an alternate realm. The only thing in common with these realms? Coming to Earth makes them in some way, shape,or form a BLANK SLATE. This makes it so the character must earn their skills/powers. They also know NOTHING of their home realm, save for some associating artifact, be it some marking or an actual artifact/trinket. Certain things will trigger flashbacks. Your character starts with the basics of whatever power they have. Leveling via missions is shared— nobody will be gypped out of power stuff if they get wounded/ko’d. Training will only get you a level higher than your partners— some things are just learned in the field ;) FACTIONS: Most military factions Horizon: An upstart PMC company with one primary objective: Stop Oracle. Oracle: An extremist, fanatical cult who believes that Earth is at THE BRINK, a prophecized destruction of the planet. Most members usually associate with the most extreme beliefs of a group/ideology. Collective Outcry: another PMC company. Tl;dr: they’re pissed. At what? Who knows. Arbiters of Order: A mid to late faction, these law-obsessed individuals are fixated on order, and enforcing their narrative, no matter the cost. And many more... have a faction idea? Shoot it by me!! Character sheet: Name: Age: Appearance: Home Realm: Open to OC ideas or canon realms? Want a mage from the MtGverse? Go for it! Feelin your OC realm of artificers? Do it! Backstory: optional Powers: Give a brief explanation of the power. Emphasize starting, middle game, and end/post game abilities. Skills: Is your character handy with mechanics? Kickass programmer? Put that here! Stats: 1-10 scale. Be reasonable. Most of this will be writing based. Strength: Do they hit hard? Determines skill with melee weapons and other strength stuff. Dexterity: Can they do shit with their hands? Has some say in firearms handling, melee weapon skill, lockpicking, etc. Covers dodging. Endurance: Whatever it is, can they do it for a long time? Determines how long they fan run, fight, hold heavy objects, etc. Includes defense. Intelligence: Do they understand? Dictates mental knowledge, learnng new things, directional awareness, etc Charisma: Smooth talker? Affects persuasion, bribery and the such. Arcane: Do they know this shit? Influences magic and manipulation of objects from other realms except Earth. Side notes: I have some main characters that would work AMAZING for this RP. DM me if interested. Also, feel free to play an antagonist! They won’t count towards your character limit. I also have some characters in mind for the bad guys.
