Realistic or Modern RE: Abnormal Syndrome

[Agni Blackheart]

Gods and demons are bored.
You are one of their new toys.
Will you let them control your fate?
The time limit is an endless month...

Lore
Gods, beings of enlightened wisdom that rule Heaven.
Demons, beings of incarnated chaos that rule Hell.​

These two mythical societies exist ever since the dawn of time, composing the balance that maintains the world. Humans have many times worshipped either one side or the other, wishing for their blessings in order to live their desired life. Thus, this fact gave birth to the eternal nemesis relationship between them. Gods wanted to judge demons and vice versa. Blessings should be superior to curses and so does the contrary. Humankind's belief must only be for one side and not the other. The conflict between two sides seemed eternal.

However, things have changed over the years.​

Science was created. Everything that has been explained as an act of a god or of a demon became explainable through theories and fundaments of scientific logic. Humans no longer needed the benevolence of the gods or the malevolence of the demons, they can now live on ther own without those mythological creatures. The faith in godhood and demonhood dwindled at a fast rate and both sides have been forgotten.

This was not acceptable.​

Not only did it bore them, the ungrateful spirit of humans have led them to be angered. Punishment was in due need. Now, to bring back the flames of their dispute, a game was made. Gods and demons have started a new machination to lead humans back to ancient states.

Let the game begin!​

The Plot​

The plot plays in the city of Sereine and the year is 20XX. At the beginning, all players are a normal human being who has a particular vision of the world in general. They study, work, play and have a pretty normal halfstyle. That being said, the game created by the gods and demons have already begun. The game is that both sides will bestow powers to some humans and recruit them to their side. They will pit those human beings against each other to see whose side wins at the end. It is a pretty simple game where the only task applied is to survive.

However, this game divides a day into two periods:
Lively Day: In the first period, the recruited are supposed to live like normal humans and do their old lifestyles. Battles are prohibited during this time because of the possibility that Normals will see the battle and immediately create an undesirable chaos for both sides.
Deadly Night: In the second period, the recruited battle willingly against each other in order to defeat the other side. All Normals will "vanish" at night, leaving the city as an open field for it. All damage caused in properties will return to zero state at day, but the damages an Abnormal take are passed over to the next day.

The truth is, this game is nothing more than a punishment they have prepared for humanity and decided to test out on a specific population before expanding it to the rest of the world. The time limit of the game is one month that will loop eternally until something out of scenario happens. This means that everyone who died in the first loop will return to the second loop.

The Classes​

Abnormal: These are humans recruited into the game. They have powers bestown by gods or demons and are destined to battle.
Normal: These are simple human beings. There's nothing more to them.

The Factions​

Illuminado: this is the faction led by the gods. Their goal is to fulfill the world with blessings and get rid of the power coming from the demons.
Chaotico: this is the faction led by the demons. Their goal is to fulfill the world with curses and get rid of the power coming from the gods.
Heretics: this is mainly composed by Abnormals who doesn't wish to fight for any sides and just want to survive this game.

Rules​

• The word coming from me (GM) and from the Co-GMs is a rule and can't be broken.
• No overpowered characters. If it's too overpowered, it won't be accepted.
• No drama on the IC or OOC. Fix it by talking with me, the Co-GMs or with the determined user via PM.
• Don't take control of another character without the owner's permission.
• The most important of all rules: have fun. If this is taking too much time, feel free to say it.

Holy cheese balls this looks amazing!

 

[GalacticKitten]

WOah. I’m hella interested.

 

[Agni Blackheart]

Thanks for the replies. Once we get some more, I'll open the post.

 

[Lenny2000]

Is there any possibility for there to be people that swap out between the gods and demons like a double agent ?

 

[Agni Blackheart]

It's possible. Every loop, one can change factions.

 

[Lenny2000]

Okies so where is the place to insert character sheet

 

[Agni Blackheart]

Here we go then!

• Soul's Resting Place (OOC)
• Actor's Anteroom (CS)

I'm interested! And I have two questions.

First, what role does a Normal play/why is it available? They seem rather useless.
Second, does an Illuminado absolutely have to battle or can they refuse due to pacifism? Would that make them a Heretic then, even though they support the "good" side and are against malevolent actions?

1. I left the Normal role for the sake of curiosity and a person who plays the role is simply a person not involved... if they don't want. A Normal can be curious enough to try and discover the secret, which will end up having two options: automatically become an Abnormal or a target for the night's mission.
2. There exists the supportive area so it's fine if an Illuminado doesn't fight EXCEPT for the last day, where everyone is deployed without exception.

 

[Lenny2000]

When might we start ?

 

[Agni Blackheart]

We'll start soon enough, I just have to post my own CS and see if we have any other interested people.

 

[Lenny2000]

Okay I'm sorry :3

 

[Agni Blackheart]

Time to begin, everyone!
