OOC



Here follows a thought of Revelation.

When the sky breaks and the presence becomes evident,
all those below will wonder what the New brings and what the Old suffers.

In the midst of terror and conflict,
everyone will behold their second Life with great zeal or dread.

The chosen few will stand at Byzantine crossroads,
unsure of their rightful place.

The spirits guide us.


p r e m i s e
In the beginning of things, cosmic beings of prominence grew greedy among each other. They meddled with sinister powers that led the stars to ruin. A consequence of such foolishness is known as Calamity. It was a giant meteor that recently impacted the world of Libra. The celestial rock carried with it an otherworldly infestation that has caused great misery ever since. The world is at war.

The alien beings that emerged from the crater were fearsome foes. They came in many different shapes and sizes designed for specific purposes. Everything they came in contact with withered. Humans and animals that fell victim to the aliens were turned into a horde of mindless creatures. Despite this gruesome threat, Regents of the many city-states of the world still have not surrendered their petty, political quarrels. While some are fighting and drying, others go on with their lives as if nothing has happened. The world has to unite against this common foe.

The presence of the alien beings has disrupted the ecosystem of spirits on Libra. Spirits are sentient entities that exist within all manner of life and matter in the world. When spirits congregate within a single entity they form something that is known as a Guardian, which is a being of great power. The aliens have hurried this process along by spreading a disease known as Stigma, which has forced spirits to abandon their natural embodiment. More Guardians have been created in the past months than in the last ten years. This is good news for humanity and the war effort.

The military forces that have joined together to fight the threat is collectively known as the United Defense Force. The organization has been declared an independent governing body in order to avoid further political troubles. However, everything about the current situation is still in utter chaos. A myriad of problems plague the frontline, greedy Regents are attempting to expand their influence and resources, refugees travel all over the world in masses, newly created Guardians who are not willing to help the war effort pursue their own goals, and renegade groups of people are taking action into their own hands by ruthless means. All of this in just eight months after Calamity impact. There must be order if humanity is to survive.

Unfortunately, there are rumors of a cult led by a powerful individual that is disrupting the war effort. They believe to have learned an undeniable truth. The leader and some of its members are believed to be Guardians of opposite loyalty to the United Defense Force. They have recently become known as Renegades, as they siphon new spirits instead of absorbing them. The Supreme General of the United Defense Force has issued an order to assemble a special unit, with the code name 'Silversky', consisting only of Guardians, which will investigate and naturalize extraordinary threats. The cult is such a threat.


g a m e
The premise of this narrative may appear generic on the surface, but there is much more to it. The main characters will learn a lot about what is really going on throughout the narrative. However, that endeavor will be conducted through modes such as Slice of Life-Drama, Investigation, Survival, and Combat, so it is not an all out action-adventure.

The world of ‘Libra’ will be modern to futuristic in its level of technology and conveniences. The weapons and gear and vehicles used by military forces will range from melee to projectile, missile to laser. There is also a presence of magic in the form of spirit possession, but most of it will be basic elemental attacks—no crazy bending of space and time and such.

You will portray a ‘Guardian’ in this narrative. Before the Calamity you were just an ordinary person, but everything changed when billions of spirits began to seek protection in human beings. Military intelligence has ever since then kept an eye on prominent Guardians for a multitude of reasons. Regardless of whether you joined the war effort somehow or tried to go on with your life, the United Defense Force has contacted you and demanded your presence at the inauguration of a special task force. The characters’ lives will intertwine from thereon in.

There will be a codex with information about the world, and a map. Incomplete previews can be found below. There is much, much more in full. All shall be ready before anything actually begins, if there is interest.

✣ Be courteous. All voices and opinions are welcome, even the unpopular ones. Just make sure to refrain from strong language and outright assaults such as name-calling and threats.

✣ After two weeks of total silence, I will autopilot your character together with mine until I find a good scenario to remove the character altogether. Life happens to everyone, it is nothing to be ashamed of. This is a hobby, and sometimes it has to suffer. There is always the option of coming back in later when life has stabilized again.

✣ This game has previously been in the advanced section. It should follow that it is now somewhere between casual and advanced in terms of standards.

✣ This story is quite religious in terms of direction. There might potentially be moments and questions that are heavy on the mind and senses. It is not my intention to mock or disrespect any actual religion, so any such perceived instance is purely coincidental.

✣ Old and New players welcome to join. If you click the top banner, there is music for a bit of inspiration.

Alright, excellent. I'll put the OOC up soon. Between this interest and the one or two lurkers, there's enough, as we're not looking for all that many players. There is still some things that have I have write, but I can complete the non-essentials after the OOC. I'll tag everyone in the OOC thread and bump this with the link.
