Futuristic Agent of Maniacles OOC and Characters

Glad you all liked the idea. Thank you! Means a lot!
My turn.

How do y'all feel about demons as a kind of parasite, similar to the Souls (The Host, same author as Twilight) or the Goa'uld (Stargate). Angels are similar creatures, but follow different rules. Where a Demon completely takes over the host, an Angel offers a symbiotic relationship and doesn't kill the host if the host can't support them. I'm still workshopping, but here's what I've got so far:

Capable of controlling the bodies of intelligent life forms.
Channels magic through the host in conjunction with its own chemical interactions to change the host into something more ideal. It has conscious control over this process.
Causes hallucinations, depression, constant hunger, incredible metabolism, and agoraphobia while it fuses with the host.
Often the host only becomes aware of the parasite when the parasite begins to take over their mind.
If the host is unable to satisfy the needs of the parasite during assimilation, death is guaranteed.

The parasite is from a separate dimension, in which magic is a force of nature. They attach themselves to hosts through their spine, burrowing into their backs and attaching themselves to the spinal cord, extending into the brainstem and the brain. This involves a long gash down their spine, where the hard outer shell of the parasite protrudes.

Removal of the parasite is impossible if the parasite does not wish to leave the host. By the time it is detected, it is so integrated into the host’s nervous system that if it is forcefully removed, the host’s nervous system will be destroyed and their brain turned into mush.


I'm not really sure what I'm gonna do with it. I was thinking an RPG, but my last one died and the couple 1x1 interest checks I've put out got nothing.

Good potential as for as a base goes. I'd play with it.

Do the parasite and host talk? Each with a mind of their own?

Yes and no. Demons and Angels are essentially the same, except for how they acquire a host.
A demon'll straight up bite and hang on to any unfortunate fool they come across, kinda like a Pest. Man, woman, child, primate. By the time the demon is done, the host's mind will be gone, and they alone will control the body.
For Angels, they will attempt, and I use very loose attempt, more like coerce, a host into accepting them. Both parasites use chemical interactions and magic to transform the host into beyond peak physical condition for their species, but an angel will not destroy the mind. A demon may keep the host mind around for amusement, but they are true parasites. They benefit while the host suffers. An angel attempts symbiosis. Ultimately the host may suffer if they can't support both themselves and the parasite, but an angel tries to keep the relationship mutual. "I only want to survive, here is what I offer you in return for feeding on your body."

Yoooooo I'd play this man!
Tbh if there's a way to combine both ideas into an rp that'd be sick!

This is an old one I came up with years ago. It was never utilized into anything, though. It was for RPGing specifically. It might not gel very well as I think folks here tend to prefer fantasy or SF, but never know! I like to share also.

Black Mask (Prototype title/possible RP?)

Los Angeles California, 1955.


There was once a point in a time long gone where a man could leave his door unlocked; a man respected his neighbors, children had respect for their elders and most of all the people honored family values. A time when people were more conservative, when boys were boys and girls were girls and your privacy was your own. The Korean War has ended just two years ago and America can truly stand as the greatest nation Earth with the power of industry and the atom bomb from the reach of the vice grip communism has taken in Russia.

The second world war has made LA into a hub of entertainment, social living and of course the Golden Age of Hollywood is in full swing where you can pay fifty cents to enjoy a Hollywood epic but be warned where there is money and fame there will always be people who seek to disrupt the piece.

The dark side of Hollywood is well and alive this decade but strange happenings have been taking place all over LA. This the story of an infamous scandal, an infamous incident that showed the public a level of violence they were't prepared for in the Summer of 1955.

Story

Three days ago a woman’s corpse washed up from the LA River, a rising young sixteen year old actress named Delores Acres famous for her roles in ‘When Were Wild’ and ‘Boulevard of Dreams’ Now her career cut short by the brutal hands of an unknown assailant.

Both her parents devastated including her father whom served as her manager not only at death of their child but level of hatred involved in the crime.

Even the police were speechless.

Besides this murder the new hotel 'Skyward Hotel' has become talk of the town and gossip, a hotel opened by a mysterious socialite for the famous, wealthy and starving artist to come and mingle with another and party.

Very few from the general public have ever seen the indoors but rumors abound of affairs, drug use and many more scandalous details.

Finally the Deflillpis Family is a dying mafia that has lost most of their power due to the police cracking down hard on the organized crime in LA and systematically picking apart for the last five years breaking up almost half of their family.

The Boss Carmine Defillips and his son the underboss Vincent Defillipis have been shipped off Alcatraz and others members have either went on to different organizations, left the state or been thrown into jail as well.

This has left them only with fifteen members in LA yet numerous associates still throughout California but now a mysterious alliance of both Chicago and New York gangsters has come to pick apart what is left of the now dying LA Crime Family and take their territory through either legitimate means or ...more 'friendly' ways.

So there we have it all the pieces are set for this tale.

The murder of the upcoming young starlet.

The odd Hotel that houses as many rumors as it does people.

The impending demise of a weak criminal empire as they scrounge to gather resources to defend what little power they have left.

Now who are you?

Are you a cop, perhaps investigating the murder or interested in putting as many thugs behind bars as possible?

Are you a Defillips or an associate of theirs under threat from both police and unknown mobsters from the Northeast?

Are you a person of the Hollywood life (director, actor, actress etc) whom is interested in the Skyward Hotel or the murder of one of your peer. (Deleroes)?

Where do you stand?

Setting

It is 1955.

So we will be using cars, clothing, hair styles, big nice metal cars and all that fit the period but don't worry I won't be forcing you to be the most accurate as possible, as this is an RP. Not going to force anyone to research the time period in super detail.

That's up to you.

Just do your best to capture the vibe. But obviously no computers, no cell phones and none of the technology we have today.....not even arcades yet but we got television! It is also in Los Angeles in the summer so the weather is nice and hot ripe for some good Hollywood action.

Racism is much more alive and well during this time (even segregation but Brown vs Board of Education just took place last year) it is also a more conservative period for the population at large but be warned paranoia and fear can run as freely during this period as they do now, perhaps even worse such as over the Communist and all to blatant racism.

These were simpler times before the age of social media and constant connection, massive big business choking the common man and goverments (at-least as blatantly as they seem to sometimes today) and at the same time it could be argued there is a more of a general trust among hard working Americans.

Playing

You can be anything you want but it must be directly involved with either the murder, the hotel or turf war getting ready to take place so cop, Hollywood (director, actress, actor or etc), crime family member, friend of someone from the murder victim's family, hotel worker.........ANYTHING!

But it has to be tied with one of the three main plot points in someway, other then that you can be clever and free as you want.
