{Special thanks to NorthernKraken for the edited graphic. The original version can be found by clicking on the link here}








A Brief Overview




This roleplay takes place on an alternate, futuristic, darker, and more dystopian version of Earth in the year 2026. It will follow the lives of several Devo's, short for Deviants, from around the world and their struggles to fight back against the corrupt system that has enslaved them, be it through word or violence.

But beware, for not all is as it seems.

Deep within the shadows, a powerful entity is pulling the strings of the world, slowly guiding it towards a future of its own design...

Rules




-Abide by Guild rules.

-As GM, my word is law. I will try to be as fair as possible though, so there shouldn't be any problems.

-This roleplay is +18, and will contain violence, death, and other mature themes. Do not join if these offend you.

-I shouldn't have to say this, but be civil to one another in the OOC. If you have an issue with a fellow player, take it to a PM with myself included, that way we can settle it.

-No Omni or Almighty power's allowed. Pretty much everything else is okay. If you're unsure about whether or not a power you've chosen is allowed however, ask me and I'll let you know.

-While I prefer you write a paragraph or more, I will gladly accept less if it adds something to the current scene. As for grammar and spelling, please do your best to minimize mistakes as they really break the flow of a post.

The Origins of Power's




Power's, as far as researchers can ascertain, originates from a mutated gene within one's body known as D3-V0, or the Devo gene, from which we get the term Deviants. From studies conducted on the gene, it seems as though it was created as a dormant defense mechanism by the bodies of several non powered individuals in the distant past, that was then passed onto their offspring in order to aid in their long term survival.

It is still unknown as to how powers vary from person to person or why they do so in the first place, though geneticists believe they can find the answers to both of these questions in time.

Gonna start working on a CS. Question about a power - is resurrective immortality okay? As in, gets back up the picture of health moments after dying, but otherwise has no superpowers and is a bogstandard human? If not, I have other concepts, so just let me know!

So a kind of Highlander type thing? I'm willing to allow it as long as it has some reasonable limitations, that way it doesn't make your character OP.

@FailingForward
If you don't mind me making a suggestion, what if your character lost small portions of his/her memory every time they died and came back? It would not only lets you have Resurrective Immortality, but also imposes a pretty reasonable limitation and gives your character an opportunity to have an inner conflict of sorts during the roleplay.

I'll probably get the actual RP up and running after two more people show interest. While I can run a roleplay with two other people, I'd like to have at least four for the sake of unpredictability and plot twists.

That would work, though I'll probably make the memory-losing process very gradual, perhaps even to the point where she's not yet aware of it, as one of the key things that drew me to the concept was the notion that she would be dying a lot and be generally very blase about it. I'll get a CS up before too too long, hopefully!

I am interested and have a few ideas for a character.

A few questions though,

First, this inhibitor chip. Does it essentially make these deviants no different from a normal human, or would it just severely weaken an ability. Would someone with super strength end up being only as strong as a normal human or would he be somewhat stronger than a human but still far less than he normally is?

Secondly, I was wondering if it would be alright to have a character look only a little human. I have a CS based of a Night Gaunt that I think would work well here after some editing. Essentially it is a winged humanoid about 12 feet tall with no face whatsoever and a barbed tail that is also completely silent no matter what it does.

Would that work fine? would it need a few changes to be approved? I'm willing to make some concessions as this char was made for a RP that never really started and I'm itching to use it.

In regards to the chip, it only weakens their powers, hence the need for an armed squadron of guards and very heavy, round the clock, military surveillance, as a Devo, though significantly weakened, would still be somewhat of a threat. As for how much it weakens a power, it's a lot. A person would only be able to use the bare minimum of power their ability allows with the chip embedded in their neck. Though, in most cases, that's enough to cause a lot of damage and devastation.

As for your character, it should be fine, as long as the design is still somewhat similar to a humans. Although I would suggest making him/her extremely stealthy, but still detectable by someone with high enough senses, simply for fairness sake.

Also, if your character has wings and a tail, maybe they could be more of a detriment at the start due to the way they look or because they barely function, which then evolve into very useful and beautiful appendages over time. It would not only give your character a reason, besides how Devo's are treated, to fight back, but also a very believable inner conflict over its own appearance and how its perceived by the rest of humanity. If that makes sense. It's just a suggestion though.

Alright, since more than four people have shown interest, I will put up the main roleplay itself and leave a link to it here. When you do finish your CS's, and take your time there's no rush, then post them in the OOC tab for review.

@ZAVAZggg

All it really has as far as stealth is that it makes no noise. Can still be detected visually (I imagine something nearly twice as big as a man is hard to not notice in most conditions), still produces body heat so it can be 'seen' by thermal detection, still leaves tracks etc.

Since I'll be adapting from an older CS, It should not take me too long to remove and add relevant information.

Ah, okay. Carry on then. Although I do have a question. Are there more Devo's with the same physical deviancy as your character or is he/she the only one?

This game sounds fantastic. I'm very much considering making a CS. I should come to a decision by this weekend, but very impressive nonetheless.

Thank you Marrok, you magnificent bastard, and I hope you do decide to join! A little bit of chaos is a welcome addition to any roleplay.
