Over the Ages [An Immortal Survival RP]

@Monotonous, @Ethanjory, @Ionion

In case you three missed the posts in this thread.

The OOC is up.

Over the Ages Episode 1: All that Remains

Where's the fun in being King Leonidas though? There'd be such high expectations from it. Not to mention Xerxes did take his head.

@Zarkun

Pfft... Xerxes can keep the head. You'll get a new one. ;D

Over the Ages Episode 1: All that Remains

So, I have a quick question, @Whoami. You said that many Immortals became revered as gods due to their own involvement. So if I'm making an Arabian swordsman (which I'm strongly leaning towards lol) could I go ahead and say that he was, at one point, Sinbad the Sailor?

@Ghost Shadow

You can indeed go ahead and say that. I will actually enjoy seeing characters who have assumed the identity of *insert real/mythical/legendary person here* during Earth's history.

Over the Ages Episode 1: All that Remains

Speaking of a Co-GM, are you saving that for a surprise or have you not decided yet? Just curious mind.

@Zarkun

I have yet to decide. I invited one of my long time RP partners to join and Co-GM along with me as I am doing for one of his RPs. But I have yet to get a response so if I don't get an answer by the time I am ready to launch the IC, I will appoint it to one of you. :)

Over the Ages Episode 1: All that Remains

'Earth' and 'Humanity' Codex entries added.
'Known NPC's' section added for when players are introduced to characters that myself and my Co-GM will control.

As you read, you will now understand why I decided to move the time period forward.

Over the Ages Episode 1: All that Remains

I have bumped the time frame forward not so much because of the actions taken by the Illuminati against the billions of humans, but more for the development of Earth and how the civilization has managed to survive without expansion into space. There's no way the world would have developed in the way it has in 1200 years from now, you'll see why when I make the update. 5000-6000 is a much more realistic timeframe. As for the apex of technology mentioned by @The Omnipotent Sphere, that is what will make the technology familiar to us. All of the tech in this RP will mostly be stuff frequently seen in novels, movies and games to give it a familiar touch.

Besides, when compared with Warhammer 40k, which is set in the 40,000's, the 6000's isn't all too much of a big deal. ;)

Over the Ages Episode 1: All that Remains

Too soon to start accepting characters just yet, as others haven't been made and you will probably want to make a lot of edits as more of the lore comes about. Speaking of which, I am working on the Codex entry for 'Humanity'. As I write this, I am thinking of pressing the years forward even further, perhaps into the 5000 or 6000's.

Over the Ages Episode 1: All that Remains

Here is an example character sheet, also one of the many NPC's I will be RPing for you all.

Scarab

Identity Profile
Birth Name:
Sel'ket Khalid
*Current Name:
Shae Arca
*Alias:
Scarab
Gender:
Female
Birth Place/Age:
Egypt, Early Roman Era; Giza

Physical Profile

Picture ID

Height:
5' 10"
*Weight:
124 lbs.
*Hair Color:
Platinum Blonde
*Eye Color:
Sky Blue
Skin Color:
Pallid White
*Physical Build:
Slim and tall, Sel'ket has an athletic build that can definitely be seen in her abs and shoulders.
*Tattoos:
Sel'ket has half of a tattoo that ends at her right elbow, the remainder of a long sleeve that was ruined when she had once lost her arm in a firefight. Sel'ket also has a blue and gold scarab tattooed around her navel.
*Scars:
A scar ringed around right elbow where the tattoo ends, evidence that her lost arm healed before she died and was given a new one.
*Other:
N/A

Psychological Profile
Positive Qualities:
Quick thinking, team-oriented, motivating presence, brave, selfless, techno-savvy, reliable.
Negative Qualities:
Fiery attitude, can rush into a predicament, proud, over-thinking or under-thinking (depending on the context of the situation).
*Likes:
Piloting and driving, tweaking her equipment, sparring, sharing her knowledge to other immortals, good humor, go-getters.
*Dislikes:
Dying, arguing, taking the credit of others, people touching her stuff, cheesy one-liners (they're unbearable to her, but it's become something she is constantly teased with), procrastination.
*Other:
N/A

Requisition
*Weapons:
Two PXP-22 Plasma Pistols
Sel'ket keeps two plasma pistols with her for ranged encounters. They are accurate and most powerful up to one hundred feet, then the plasma begins to dissipate and becomes rather ineffective. Any longer and Sel'ket would rather use her magic.

Glaive
For melee encounters, Sel'ket uses a glaive. It may look like a simple bladed weapon, not very practical when opponents are in battlesuits, but Sel'ket edges the blade with magic to cut through even the sturdiest armors that she is faced with. She had made an agreement with Sempra-Tor that the glaive remain in his world, and that he summons it to her via magic when she needs it. The summoning is near instant, so Sel'ket can call upon her glaive at any moment.
*Armor:

Armor Appearance

Sel'ket's armor is a culmination of tradition and technology. Behind the incredibly strong and elaborate ferro-steel armor plates, is a network of neural systems that integrate themselves to Sel'ket's mind. The armor reacts instantly to her thoughts, allowing her to move without being weighed down in combat. Nanites coating the surface of the armor have a number of functions such as absorbing plasma and converting it to energy, deflecting lasers, hardening against ballistics and, when Sel'ket needs to, bending light. Her helmet features a full heads up display. Heavy weapons brought to the field can damage the armor quite easily, so Sel'ket tries to balance that out with defensive use of magic.
*Transportation:
Sel'ket doesn't keep any form of transportation she is given. It's not that she doesn't want them, it's just that she often gets them destroyed before she can get comfortable. When she does request transportation, Sel'ket prefers either a VTOL or a hover-car. For combat scenarios that require something big, Sel'ket enjoys using walkers.
*Devices & Tools:
Sel'ket keeps automated hacking devices on her so she doesn't need to worry herself with messing up. A small belt-clipped plasma cutter is often taken with her as well.
*Supplies:
Sel'ket requests supplies as they're needed, she never finds the proper time to use something she gets ahead of time.
*Augmentations:
None at the moment, but that is bound to change as Sel'ket often runs straight at things with big guns.
*Other:
N/A

Over the Ages Episode 1: All that Remains

@WhoamiQuick question. What if the tattoo has some kind of cultural significance and they had it before becoming Immortal. Would it be there upon Resurrection then?

@Zarkun

No. But, if the tattoo is of sentimental value, it isn't uncommon for an immortal to store it as an imprint in the Illuminati database. So that when they have a new limb, they can simply have it recalled from the database and tattooed back on if they so choose. The limbs and organs they get are literally NEW. If one has a tan and lost his/her arm, the new limb would be discolored from the rest of the body.

My CS should be up within the next couple days. Being the paranoid fool I am, I like to make sure I have a full grasp on the lore first :P

@Ghost Shadow

That is fine by me! If you have any questions if you wish to get your CS underway sooner rather than later, PM me and I can give you information in advance.
