Beta
RPN's Most Hated
Alright... let me start by saying that this RP is based around things that have been in my head for many years. I'm talking since I began taking Roleplaying seriously. It may not be perfect, as are few things, but I want this to develop into something big. Hopefully everyone can take this as seriously as I plan to. Oh yeah... and there's this:
Beta making a non-fandom?!?! IMPOSSIBURURURU!!!
Now on to the story.
===============================================
The world has gone through hell over the past two centuries. There are major cities left, but most smaller settlements were wiped out by the wars that corporations waged on one another. In time, the corporations on the losing sides began to merge with the ones who were winning. These even bigger companies then renewed the war some time later. And eventually, there were only a few megacorporations left. These have all agreed to a truce, as their main interests are all in different areas. Peace has now reigned for decades. But something is stirring.
Militaristic side-groups controlled by these companies have begun kidnapping unknowns and experimenting on them to form cyborg supersoldiers. Not into beings like assassin droids from the archaic "Star Wars" movies from the late 20th and early 21st Centuries... but cyborgs that can easily pass as humans under close examination. These Military splinter groups have immense resources, as they are controlled by the heads of their respective companies. They have even perfected a form of fusion that can be micro-sized to provide immense power and require no venting. The way they 'vent' heat is by simply diffusing it through the tissues of the person transformed into a cyborg. This results in nothing more than a slightly higher than normal body temperature.
Due to the immense power generated by their internal power sources, these cyborgs are capable of insane feats that normal people only dream of. The are strong enough to throw vehicles around, can leap over 100 meters into the air, and even fire off excess energy in the form of an attack ( akin to DBZ-style Ki blasts ). Each cyborg also has a specialized ability. Some are gunkata masters with advanced targeting computers, some can vent their energy through their feet to take flight, etc.
The corporations are each developing these things to 'defend' themselves against the others. But those in the program know there is going to be war. It's simply a matter of who acts first.
Most of the cyborgs have had their memories wiped... but some of the older models were made before a complete wipe was possible. And re-wiping the mind of a finished product runs the risk of rendering it useless. And so the older models retain a fair amount of their memories from before they were kidnapped and transformed. This led to several escapes. The companies deny it vehemently, but reports of random acts of extreme heroism and/or villainy can't be ignored.
And so the megacorporations have determined that the escaped units are a more immediate threat than their rival companies, and are beginning to send soldiers after them. It is yet uncertain if they will end up sending the newer models after the old ones... but it is a possibility. Currently, however, they are making due with sending small strike teams.
The Escaped models, on the other hand... not all of them are seeking vengeance. Some might seek to return to normal lives, some might look for work as hired muscle, some will of course want revenge, and some might be undecided. Only they know for sure.
And so the story continues...
=============================================
Rules:
1. Don't be an asshole. A bit of arguing is alright, as is friendly debate. But if things start getting heated, take it to PMs.
2. Don't argue with GMs too much. If you disagree with a ruling, say so and say why. I will re-evaluate my opinion and may reconsider my stance. If I say something is final, however... do not continue to debate it.
3. This is not a place for short posters. Minimum 2-paras per post please. An occasional single paragraph will be acceptable if something is particularly tough to respond to... but let people know in the OOC if something needs more for you to reply to. Perhaps edits could be made.
4. Godmodding. Do it, and I swear to God your character will die. Godmodding is defined by "Autokilling" or "Autohitting" of PCs without prior agreement with the player, Making up attacks on the fly, nuking cities in one shot, and being Superman.
5. Please try to remain active. Give notice if you'll be gone. Extended periods of absence will result in characters being moved along and/or killed off.
6. Collabs are encouraged. They're fun. :3 Don't know what a collab is or how to do one? Just ask.
7. No OOC chatting in the IC Thread. That is why THIS thread is here.
8. Have fun. Don't spam GIFs. No Lemon Party. Thor is best Avenger.
9. Put "Cybernetic" at the end of your CS so I know you read the rules.
