THE DARK WOODS
-
Hello and welcome to the Haynek Institute Of Research. Unlike typical scientific organizations, the Haynek Institute focuses less on indoor laboratories and facilities and more on field research and the great outdoors. As such, we boast the most up-to-date technology and equipment for on-site research and surveillance.
Because of the focus of our work, it is no surprise that most of our members are comprised of Catastrophe Messengers and explorers. We may not be as renowned and famous as the likes of Rhine Lab or Rhodes Island but the data we gather and the work we do is invaluable and used by organizations and countries all across Terra. We even sometimes collaborate with other scientific organizations on special research projects.
We will be honest with you, this line of work is fraught with danger. Most of the research involves Originium found in the wild, which are unrefined and potentially infectious, and the Catastrophes that plague this world. We ensure that all members rigorously practice safety procedures during any sort of research but we must acknowledge that things happen and casualties are had in the field. Again, we warn you of the dangers of the jobs in Haynek Institute.
Now then, do you think you've got what it takes?

Hey there all! It's ya boy Paul Haynek, back at it again with another RP this time set in the world of Arknights, a Chinese tower-defense mobile game filled with animal people (including full-on furries) that are plagued by Catastrophes, forcing them to live in nomadic and mobile cities.
What are Catastrophes, you ask? In the world of Arknights, 'Catastrophe' is the term for natural disasters that leave behind a mysterious but powerful mineral called 'Originium'. The people of Terra (the world's name) harnessed Originium and made all sorts of stuff. Unfortunately, exposure to Originium can lead to a disease called 'Oripathy' where Originium slowly transforms the infected's body into the mineral.
So far, there is no known cure for Oripathy and if the infected dies, the Originium within becomes extra infectious. Thus, discrimination against the infected is heavy throughout Terra.
You can read more about the world of Arknights over here. If you're already familiar with Arknights (or have already max-potentialed SilverAsh) then that's great!
This RP will be smaller in scale compared to the game, however. Players will be a group of Operators of the Haynek Institute (probably need to change the name to something less egotistical) sent to a very remote village in Kazimierz to investigate strange reports about the Originium there.
Of course, things won't go as planned and the player Operators must find a way to survive and escape from the Dark Woods.

I forgot to post this here in General Interest Checks. Since I've never not done that for my roleplays, here it is. The RP is over here if you're interested.
