Welcome, to the city of Mahoukyo! While to most outsiders, the city may seem to be one of the more peaceful, under control cities in the world it is far from it. Within the city's innermost parts, a secret war is being waged. Tension raises by the day, even amongst those sworn to defend the city from the very forces threatening to pull it apart at the seams. At some point, everyone will have to choose a side, the Isamu or the Rikimaru. Which side will you choose?




Premise

In a world not dissimilar to our own, filled with the wonders of magic, lies a city built upon a curious Island off the coast of Japan. This Island is the culmination of magic and science, crafted over many a decade, and slowly expanding, evolving to the world powerhouse in Technology, health, and sustainable fishing.

Much like the rest of the world, the populace here too seems to treat the lucky, or unlucky, few that are granted powers that we can only dream at birth with extreme prejudice and disdain. Others are granted such powers by exposure to a rare resource, only found in peculiar events that happen upon this Island, known simply as Soul Essence. Utilizing the power of Soul Essence is a dangerous business, however, and as such experimentation upon the energy is strictly forbidden outside of Government compounds.

Within this city lies two families of prominence, each one desiring to contain and harvest these events for a variety of reasons; the Isamu and the Rikimaru. While the Isamu wish to research these events upon request of the government, in exchange for their magical bloodline to be tolerated within the city’s perimeter, the Rikimaru simply wish to harness the energy to crush the ‘normal’ majority and establish their superiority with their powers.

Tensions between the two have only been rising as the Isamu seem to be the only ones capable of handling the rampaging Rikimaru, with fears that the increased activity of the gang will soon escalate to the point where 'war' is inevitable.

As such, teams handpicked by the 8th head of the Isamu family, Maylis Opal Isamu, have been formed to deal with the gang whenever they crop up as well as deal with the oddities that are called Zero Time, peculiar events that can generally be predicted and are the main source of Soul Essence.

You find yourself placed in one such team run by Dieter Gunnar, Team Three, and must solve the mysteries surrounding the city as well as defend it from threats, both from outside and within. All while this very city you defend scorns you.


GM's Hello/Notes

Welcome, Lunarlord34's the name and being a terrible writer is my game. Been on the guild for a while, and this is my attempt at rebooting an RP which had the unfortunate timing to start as the pandemic hit. Not the most experienced or organized GM going around, but I like to think I'm pretty flexible and willing to help out players whenever need. And at least I'll have my co in Leslie Hall to keep my chaotic methods somewhat in check. Anyway, let's get onto the sweeter details.

Rules

1. GM's words are final. If I say you can't have this or do that then that's that. I am happy to debate things though, but be aware that I will just resort to this if needed.

2. Take any drama or NSFW stuff to pm's, don't want to deal with it. However, if you need me to solve any issues, once again just PM me.

3. There is no limit to the whacky magic/powers you can have. So long as I approve of the idea, you can have it. I want an open power system with whacky powers that either match or contrast personalities. Also, whacky character ideas would be pretty cool. There will however be a limit on how strong I'm allowing people to be, which will be a balance between the three rankings, which when you take the numbers into account tends to be around the 10-12 mark.

4. Ideally, we'll be taking 9-12 players and you may play multiple characters if you wish, to a limit of three (though this may change for less or more at a later date and peeps can only make one to start with). This limit doesn't count towards characters of 'NPC' status though. Also, if you don't make the final cut if someone drops I will leave it open to you to join later if you so wish. May also increase the limit depending on interest.

5. The only currently joinable faction for players to join is the Isamu, though depending on how things develop I may open up the opportunity to join the Rikimaru or even somewhere else.

6. If you need help with anything, don't be afraid to ask. More than willing to help accommodate players' ideas, and if you have subplots or similar ideas I'm generally more than happy to hear them as well.

7. Now because I'm sick of dying RP's, I will be doing something of a check on players who wish to join as a warning. Mostly for activity and whatnot. There'll also be a semi-strict posting policy, which will vary in length though no shorter than a week, or I'll just skip you if it comes to it. If you want to drop, or are too busy to post then just tell me. In the case of the latter, I will look to accommodate you. I know sometimes you just can't post and I don't want to stress you out.

I think that should cover just about anything. As I said, any questions just ask. Anyways thank you for reading this far and I hope to see you in the big city.

This seems like a really cool concept Lunar.

Gonna keep a very close eye on this and throw in interest. Maybe brainstorm some ideas! :)

Cheers!

These families, the Isamu and Rikimaru are more like Yakuza groups right? You don't have to be a blood-related relative to be part of the "family", right?

Yeah, you've got the right of it. There are Mages in each group who are blood relatives of the Rikimaru or Isamu, but generally any Mage willing to affiliate with a side is welcome.

I should also state that despite the misleading intro, the Rikimaru are currently not available for players to join. It's more referring to an event for later in the story.
