Dirge of Death

It was the year 2090. Most of the indigenous species on earth had been driven to extinction due to several population explosions that had occurred among the humans. Russia and the USA had decided to join forces to dominate the world, and then split the pieces amongst themselves, starting the mecha wars.

However several holes into an alternate dimension of earth suddenly opened. Through these holes creatures of darkness have poured through and decimated the two super powers and their armies, and then brought ruin to every corner of the planet.

Years after the this had transpired, only a couple thousand humans remained out of the entire worlds population. They had managed to create a energy dome to keep the dark ones out, and regular mecha patrols have allowed them to stop any advances they might make. However, it is only a matter of time before the creatures destroy the remaining humans and take the world for themselves.

In order to stop them each of the twelve doors must be sealed using special magics that have arisen amongst the remaining humans. If the doors are sealed, then the creatures source of power will vanish and take them with. Armageddon is at hand, and we have only a few months left before we fall.


Normal rp rules apply along with a few extra twists of my own design.

We can only have a limited number of people able to use magic, and their roles will be a bit more difficult due to the rules i have in mind for the magic laws.

Mechs are allowed, but pretty much all the military ones are gone and we only have 2 attack class, and 12 modified civilian class mechs now. All of the missles for them have been long used up, and no laser beams are mounted on them since they broke down. Sorry.

Other than that please try to have some sort of character flaw in your character sheets for your character to build on. We aren't gods people, just ordinary guys with a job to do. That said heres the weapon list.





~Weapons~
While you can have a sword or some such relying to heavily on things like that would be a huge mistake in this rp. Thus here are a list of weapons we have left.

AK-67
This machine gun is far improved over the AK-47 in the fact that it has a mounted laser sight and night sight. It also has armor piercing bullets, and a mortar slung underneath the barrel. It has a folding stock for easy storage, and comes with 6 70 bullet clips. It does not over heat.

.9 Masher Pistol
This pistol is light, and tough. It can be held in a shoulder holster for surprise attacks. Each clip has 25 shots in it, and each bullet has an incendiary tip so it can explode on impact.

Grenades
Nothing has changed much about the grenade save for its destructive force. Each grenade has the destructive power of twelve sticks of dynamite and includes a EMP feature. They are light weight, and easy to carry and store. Pull the clip, count to three, and lob the sucker for some damage.

Gun Blade
These come in several varietys, and all of them are deadly. No matter the look each of these powerful weapons includes a gun handle, sword underneath a barrell, and four clips of thirty rounds. Can be fired in semi auto, and auto modes.

And finally, the Phase Pistol

One of the remaining laser weapons among the remnant. This weapon fires focused laser shots for piercing damage. It over heats after six shots, so it is mainly a back up weapon. Its battery is solar powered, and it can fire 40 shots in a single charge. It comes with a backup battery and charger pack.


Feel free to post a new weapon if you like, but make sure you run it by me in pm first. I did my best to give you all some good guns, but I'm sure you can think of more. The phase pistol is the ONLY laser weapon left. Sorry.

Anyhoo we need about four to six people to start. So without further ado, let the apps begin.


Name: (I assume you have one of these)
Age: (We aren't immortal last I checked. How old are you?)
Descrip/Pic: (A paragraph or a pic, makes no dif to me)
Mech: (Optional)
Magic ability: (Also optional)
Weapon Primary: (What do you go for first?)
Weapon Secondary: (What do you go for second?)
Weapon Backup: (If the above fail you must be in trouble. Whats your last resort?)
History: (Do tell us about yourself.)
Persona: (What are you like? Include your flaw here please. And it shouldn't be really stupid like "can't cook big dinners")


That's all folks. Enjoy the rp.

 

I said it didn't really matter. I was just telling you what the limits were. Yes you may.

 

Yes I will do so. I'll send a pm to you.

Requiem you are not accepted. Please re read the rules I stated. No lasers at all for any mechs. You may, however, have a mounted machine gun since I said we had "Modified" civilian mechs. No lasers cause we lost em all save for that pistol.

 

Accepted dawn, though it's kinda hard to read it due to some massive grammatic errors. Kindly reread your posts out loud so your ear can catch any mistakes. You'll find that it's hard not to read something wrong without stumbling over the words.

Also I can only assume that your character flaw has something to do with not playing nice with others? Please make that clear to via post, pm, or vm so I know what your doing.



As an fyi I will not be playing a "Real Character", but I will play plenty of npc's, and enemies. I am getting in touch with the DM's of old, and I figured that it would be better that way. This also gives me plenty of areas were I can look over posts and point out mistakes without getting jumped on so to speak, not that I expect that will happen here. It also lets me stop the god modding and power playing issue I've seen in a lot of other rps I've made in the past. That said, bring on the chars.

 

Then why did you spam saying that? Please no messages saying, "I'll join" since all they really do is get in the way. Just because you say you will join by no means saves you a spot on the roster. I urge you to edit the post with your character sheet, or delete it altogether. I do believe there is a no spam policy on this forum.


In any case, here is how my role of the rp will work, for any who may be interested.

Just like a normal DM in DnD, I will be playing all non player characters along with all enemies. It will be completely up to me to decide when monsters appear and how strong they are. I would like it if you guys posted a level, all of you being at 1 right now, and I will award levels for every fight that is completed. A level may go into decimals, like 3.5, so I may award tenths of a level instead. It won't be really complicated, but I will post a monsters level and abilities in here so check if you need a few hints on how to win.

It is also my job to describe the scenery, as well as were things may or may not be. Just like in DnD you can ask me questions about were things might be via vm, pm. It will then be up to you to share that knowledge in game, not out of game, with the other characters. Just because I tell you something does not mean I told everyone something. Any out of character knowledge will be extremely frowned upon and I can exercise the right to kill any characters I feel are taking away from the rp, or do any other mean and nasty things to them. As the DM I am essentially a god watching your small team stumble around doing things, so beware. This god hates those who break the rules, Rawr.

Finally, it is my job to tell you guys objectives that should be completed, as well as prioritizing them so you know what needs to get done first. Also I will play any of your characters if asked, though those characters may not participate in combat. I believe the term is "Ghosting", were I am only giving your characters a place in the party and were I can let them contribute, albeit only a little, to the greater good of the party. I will not ghost a character without permission, but if you need to get away for a while I will gladly do so. Likewise if you are inactive for over a week and party is about to leave without you.

Well, that should be it. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

 

I think it's dead. No ones viewed it in a while. If you want to make this a two person though I am game. Post if you like.

 

Yep. A IM Rp? I've seen people do solo private ones. If you like we can just do an actual DnD thing. We'd have to find our own way though, since we don't have a dm.

 

Don't I know it. Lets do that. TO THe RP HELP AND FEED BACK AREA!! *whoosh*
