Introduction
Earth, 1934 At about this time, the initial war between the Lycans began as a simple discussion gone wring within the Lycanian law system. Soon this disagreement turned from a small argument to radio broadcasts. These broadcasts subsequently were transferred over to Lycanian television, and soon the entire world was involved within the war.
Earth, 1992 The war hit a temporary standstill...that was, until a Lycan army bombed a hidden lair, turning what had been a sixty-two year long cold war into a physical war.
Earth, 2010 The war peaked, as a young recruit and several other innocent trainees were killed when a bomber attacked a training center. Fifty five teachers, instructors, and guards were killed, ten injured. Three hundred students were killed, five hundred injured.
Earth, 2053 The Revolts began losing. After a failed attempt to capture an opposing fort and losing an entire squadron of over three hundred thousand, the leader was assassinated and replaced by a strange man rumored to be two-thirds robot, one-third human. The world came to know him only as The Master.
Earth, 2054 After debate that a man who had his soul preserved for 500 years within a plastic orb couldn't manage an army, the leader made his name known with what became widely known as the Maddox Massacre. Christmas 2054, Lucien Maddox (The Master) dropped an small bomb on a city in Ireland, wiping out almost 75% of the population in that area. Doubts about The Master's power quickly died off.

The War
As stated, it started back in 1992, and is still going strong in 2550. By now, the Lycan war has become a bloodbath, and it's reached the point where the war has poured out from the hidden battlegrounds it once took place in to human streets. Humans have taken notice, and soon they rounded up a military division in every country across the globe dedicated solely to killing Lycans. However, the human action has done nothing more but drag them into a war they never should have been in...
The Sides
The Revolts: The Revolts believe that Lycans are the sole leaders of the world and are constantly terrorizing humans. They believe that humans are basically lunch meat and also have the grotesque habit of spearing human heads on poles outside camps while gorging on human remains. No, they're not from Twilight. They have the advantage of being the current dominant party, with bases dotted across the globe and the most advanced weapons available in mass quantities on demand. Base hidden beneath Paris, France.
The Rebels: The Rebels are the side which believe that Lycans and humans are both equal, and most are supporters of human rights...literally. Most of the Lycans on this side believe in the old legend that when the planet was created and humans were placed on it, Lycans came with them to protect the world. However, some do not and only join because they support humans. They have the upper hand when it comes to strategic aspects of war and making due with the few, normally low-tech weapons on hand. Base hidden in area accessible only with use of Lycan magic on Mount Everest.
The Humans: They're the more simple side. They were dragged into war accidentally, and now find themselves trying desperately to catch up. While most of this force work underground and simply run about sniping Lycans of both sides, some work on the battlefields and/or as spies. They have the upper hand when it comes to getting weapons, though not the most high tech, most of their weapons come in massive quantities. Base located in Quebec, Canada.

Yes, it's legal, so don't rip off my work or I rip off your head.
Thank you!! :D
Rules
You may have up to three characters, but none of your characters can be in the same faction!
1. Follow all RPG rules in general
2. Power/Ability Limitations: Characters can have a maximum of two abilities if they are Lycans, though you can only have one if you choose.
3. Post Length: I'm not asking for a novel in every post, just give it depth. I'd like at least one or two nice paragraphs. What you give is what you get.
4. No Power Gaming
5. No Godmodding
6. Anyone found in offense of rules 4 or 5 will be eaten.
7. Do Not kill off characters of active roleplayers...AKA..don't kill off anyone unless I say so...please?
8. When registering for a character, please copy and paste the following into the specified areas of your character information, this will make things a lot easier.
---->This part goes in your character Description
- Code: Select all
[font=times new roman][b]Race (Lycan/Human)[/b][/font]
[font=times new roman][b]Character Age (No one under 14):[/b][/font]
[font=times new roman][b]Side (Revolt, Rebel, Human):[/b][/font]
[font=times new roman][b]Element(s) (Lycans only, maximum of TWO):[/b][/font]
[font=times new roman][b]Gender:[/b][/font]
[font=times new roman][b]Verbal description of looks (Yes, [u]verbal[/u]):[/b][/font]
[font=times new roman][b]Image (Optional):[/b][/font]
---->This part goes in your Personality
- Code: Select all
[font=times new roman][b]TALENTS (ie: Drawing, golf, piano):[/b][/font]
---->This part goes in your Equipment.
- Code: Select all
[b]Primary Weapon:[/b]
[b]Secondary Weapon:[/b]
[b]Specialty:[/b]
Now, this one is a bit confusing, so here's a brief explanation.
Your primary and seocndary weapons are somewhat self-explanitory. Your specialty is what your character is best at using. I'd prefer if this is not either of your character's primary or secondary weapons.
As for what weapons you can use...
Elements: Self-explanitory, you use your powers, this is automatically included when you're a Lycan.
Bare Hands: Everyone automatically gets this one, so no need to make it a weapon.
Daggers, Swords, and Blades: Yes, you can use them, just don't go overboard.
LWI-AR-BIII: Short for Lightweight Iron Auto-Reload Bullet III. It's an iron gun that utomatically reloads after each shot. somes in shotgun and pistol style...NO MACHINE GUN VERSIONS.
Antique Guns: Any of the guns we use today...again, no machine guns.
Bombe AV3: The equivilent of a long-range machine gun.
Fusée IP243: OMG! Futuristic grenades! Wee! (Character must be at least 34 to use these, and you can only have a limited amount, so don't run around chucking grenades at everyone.)
9. Please use third-person, past tense!
Reviews
DemiKara wrote:I certainly like the idea, and you have the history very well written out, along with a clear and distinct villain. I believe it is too early in the role-play just yet to accurately judge it, but it seems to have a bright (war torn) future ahead of it. I'm a little iffy about the plot, as it seems player driven in nature, but I think that it will be brilliant nonetheless. The world you have created here is very well detailed and drawn. I do like the addition of stylized quotes to give a feel to the background of the story int he introduction.
Tiko wrote:It is far too early to really see where this might lead for sure but from what I have seen so far, it seems to be a very well thought out roleplay. The GM has taken the time to really draw up the situation and present the setting and story (both present and historical) in an intriguing light. It's not too overwritten but still rather eye catching. The introduction also displays a certain touch of humor while not detracting from the general organization and well written aspect of it. It is both presentable and good natured all in one. I would have to say that as long as the GM gives as much care and attention to the roleplay as the introduction, that this roleplay has a bright future ahead of it.
Abraxas wrote:I really like where you were going with this. You obviously have this all well thought out before starting it off and I like how you set up the history for it. Like the others said, I'm not sure where this one will go at this point but I really have high hopes for this role play and hope it all works out the way your thought it would. Great job so far, keep doing what your doing.

OOC Notes
Drowning in the music she felt her wolf subside with it's restlessness and a smile spread over her lips as she slowed the strides of the bow to create a more sensual sound more pleasing to a dream like tune and finished. Placing the violin back in it's velvet casing she shut the lid and glanced around. Heaving a sigh she simply settled to cleaning the tables that were already clean and began creating chores for herself to keep busy until others joined. The Rebels were a large group but everyone had things to do, tasks laid out for their day. Her profession allowed her a slower paced life style, but she was unaccustomed to and at times like this she'd preferred to just go on a rampage and destroy something.
OOC Notes
"Before you ask, I'm Lucien Maddox Spectre. Also known as the old robotic jackass and/or Jigsaw," he muttered, nodding and tipping his battered black fedora at her. He knew that even though there were tales of terror linked to him, he was rarely seen, meaning most people didn't know whether he was a robotic prank or an actual person. Sighing casually, he flicked his right wrist, letting the dagger swing out from its concealed space before he gripped it by the blade, his thick leather gloves protecting him from knifing himself. With mild interest, he quietly scanned the blade over with his fake eye, sighing as the device relayed him some information. New blade. 5" Iron and steel. Produced by Rebel Weapon Corps..

Two more people entered and she served them their beverages, one slipped over to the jukebox. A few seconds passed and a song came on, it was alright in beat but she preferred something else. When everyone was settled again Alina poured herself a glass of water and sipped it generously, her eyes roaming over Spectre once more before she looked away. Setting her glass off to the side so no one would mistake it as theirs she saw that she'd forgotten to stock some of the alcoholic beverages and moved to the back, through a doorway and into the kitchen area. Off to the left was another door, opening it Alina stepped inside and flicked the light on. The storage room had it's own feel to it, dank and slightly darkened by the limited amount of light. Finding the bottles she needed Alina exited and returned, placing each bottle where they were supposed to be. "What brings you here so early Spectre?" she chose to call him that, it make him more mysterious when labeled as such, or so she thought.
OOC Notes
"Anyway...that and I need a few empty bottles for one of my...um...training courses, shall we say?" the man added, smirking and looking around a bit more, thinking. "Oh, and you might want to make sure that you don't want the bottles back. I'll be doing a bit of modifying." Yes, most people usually knew what he meant by this, and most referred to it as him looking for new torture tools. This particular course needed a bit of broken glass, though there was a short supply of bottles in the junkyard for his needs, so he'd decided to borrow a few from the local bars. With this said, he smirked and quietly conjured a small, glowing purple orb of dark energy, using his fingers to manipulate its positioning as if he were spinning it in his hand. It served a dual purpose, it looked nice, it looked classy, and it looked painfully intimidating.
OOC Notes
When Spectre formed the large purple dark energy in his hand her eyes immediately went to it. "Ah...so your elemental is darkness. I had hoped I'd gain that one, but I have fire" she smiled, holding her own hand out in front of her, with little concentration sparks flickered in her palm before coming alive into a large cast of flames that licked and spiraled in the air. "It took me a while to control it, but now I have total control" Closing her palm the flame exstinguished itself. "I still am a little iffy on earth, but that's the way it is" clearing her throat she slid from the stool and stretched. "Anyways I'm sure you're here to relax, not hear me babble"
OOC Notes
With this, the man put the blueprint back into his pocket. "Besides that, i also came to pick up about twenty beers. I need 'em for tonight. Orientation. Suckish orientation. Bleh, at least I got out of it!" he said with a mischievous smile. "Anyway... I just need the beer, my bottles, and I'll be on my way eventually," he muttered, chuckling.

Later when Deryx got to the end of the street he took off down an alley and ran dodging the trash cans and garbage in the alley. The car quickly pulled up next to the alley entrance and rolled down the car window and opened fire with an uzi. Deryx rolled behind a dumpster and was hearing the ricochet of bullets hit the dumpster. Deryx pulled out his .50 calibur magnum pistol and rolled out from behind the dumpster and shot a couple rounds at the car. Deryx immediately continued down the ally and the car drove away from the opening of alley. Deryx reached the other side of the alley and saw a car stopped at a redlight in the road. Deryx ran up to the car and opened the door and sat in the passenger side and pointed a gun at the drivers ear and commanded "Drive!" The scared civilian replied "No I won't do it", Deryx sighed and pulled the trigger in his gun and the drivers brains and blood splattered against the window. Then he tossed the body out the driver door and wiped off the blood off the windshield. He began driving the car down the street. Deryx sat in the driver seat and began driving to downtown Paris to an entrance in the sewer to hideout at the Revolt base. Deryx sighed and said to himself "I'm sick of this job."
OOC Notes
"Are you trying to get us all killed!? You've lost it! Completely, utterly lost it!!!" he rambled, rolling his eyes and looking the man over before raising a brow. "You're one of those mercenary guys, aren't you? Those people that run around shooting people and then running back here!? Damn, I need to talk to whoever it is that trains you people..." [desc]Talon finished, rolling his eyes. "Seriously, you people are going to get us massacred! If you kill someone, at least clean it up thoroughly before you come back, okay? We clear on that?"
OOC Notes
Deryx took a couple more drags off of his cigarette as he listened to Talon complaining about how Deryx does things. Deryx rolled his eyes and continued "You know I only trained myself I wouldn't rely on your pathetic excuse of a training program to save my life." Deryx took one last drag off of his cigarette and threw it down the railroad in the Subway and answered Talon's order with a comment "You know I get payed to kill people to make sure we don't get massacred. On the whole ,brains splattered against the windshield ordeal, I gave an effort to wipe that guys brains off", once again Talon asked "We clear on that?" Deryx answered rolling his eyes with a sigh "Crystal clear now when do i get paid."
OOC Notes
"Now... As for the dirty job... most of our jobs get pretty dirty at some point or another around here, yours is just more gory than the others. So, clean up the car and..." he muttered, his voice fading out as he noticed the subway train (which was made of high-quality iron and steel, and protected against fire and explosion, powered by high-intensity magnetics and a mix of solar and nuclear energy) slam into the car, causing it to spontaneously explode. The passengers inside the train were unharmed, though everyone in the surrounding area seemed to be either unconscious or dead. Rolling his eyes, Talon looked over at Deryx, a smirk quickly appearing on his face before it was replaced by a frown. "Fine. I'll pay you. Let's just get down to the base before we get caught... Way to blow up a subway," he muttered, rolling his eyes yet making no effort to mask the smirk he wore when he spoke about the subway exploding.

With that she stepped back and turned around making her way back behind the counter. She took a few bottles of beer and packed them for him and slid them next to the box of empty bottles he had requested on the counter. "There you are. And I've been through orientation I've seen the way things go, I commend you for being the one to train us. Truly admirable if you ask me. Although," she trailed off and slightly mumbled the rest, "I wish the war was over." she quickly clamped her lips together as if she'd spoken out of line and blushed. Turning away from him she touched her hand to her cheeks and groaned, inwardly scolding herself for even blushing. You never blush, why are you blushing, stop it it's not like you. Gathering herself she gave him a small wave and excused herself to the back room to gather up a few more things to prep for the night, calling over her shoulder as she walked away. "Enjoy the bottles"

Sliding the drink to the man at the end of the counter she stepped over to the wall behind her and took the apron off the hook, tied it around her waist and rummaged through it to make sure her pen, paper pad and cloth was in the pockets. Satisfied she stepped from around the counter, up to the jukebox and spent a few minutes looking through the selection before she settled on a song. Pushing the buttons she moved away as the music began filling the cafe with a jazzy tune. She made it back around the counter just as the cook poked his head through the small window and greeted her. Waving Alina turned her attention back to Spectre.

*I wonder if I'm making the right decision...* Alex wondered as he finished his coffee and left the cafe, lighting another cigarette as he walked.

Alina was curious where he came from and had a load of questions, but kept her mouth shut with the rest so as not to sound or appear intrusive. She simply stood there a moment awaiting to see if he did or did not wish the washcloth, when you are a wolf, you learn about people through their movements their body language and his was merely showing tired, distant and nervous even.
OOC Notes
He drank his scotch in one go and seemingly as sober, but a lot more confident, he walked to the table and wispered with a voice that just sounded like authority to the men at the table: " I don't like cowards who talk around someones back, if you talk about someone be a man and do it in his face." As Warren nearly had turned to get back to his seat he heard someone on the table say jerk. Warren turned back to the table and with the same voice he wispered: " If you don't like me, well...tough luck, because I am going to be for a long time, at the very least till this war is over. So you'll have to deal with me for a long time." Warren walked back to his seat and turned back to the waitress. To clarify what he just had done. "You are a lycan, right? So you should understand what I just did there, simply pack behaviour. Even though we think that we are civilized, humans still are herd animals."
OOC Notes
"ah, much better." Alex said to himself as he carried the contraption over to the wall and set it down. Turning to his desk, Alex removed his glasses and picked up a slim wire hanging from the computer on his desk. With a few keystrokes Alex brought up the video recorded during his outing and started the facial recognition program on his computer to see if there had been any new faces in the crowd. While the program ran, Alex removed the glove from his right arm and set to pulling out the various items he had underneath it, wincing occasionally when something got stuck on the skin around it. For the next several hours Alex alternated between filing and organizing the information from his glasses and going through his workout routine, all the time singing the same line from his favorite song
"Paranoia paranoia, everybody's coming to get me, just say you never met me, I'm going underground with the moles, diggin' holes. Paranoia...."
At noon an alarm went off and Alex looked over, seeing that it was time for work. "Once more into the breach, I suppose." he muttered to himself as he logged his computer on to the human military website, sliding on his fake gut and black shirt as it loaded. As soon as he had logged on a video screen popped up an an old man wearing an army outfit stared out from it, disgust curling his lip. "Soligem you disgusting lump, I barely have the patience to deal with you when you're on time, let alone when you slide in several minutes late. I have half a mind to-" the old man was cut off by a loud raspberry from Alex who replied "You have half a mind period. Sir. Now if you please give me my work for today so that I don't have you reminding me that when I'm two-hundred years old I'll look just as bad as you do now." The old man glared for a moment before turning his attention to something off-screen and typing. "You'll be receiving it in a moment, I expect a full report at the end of your shift." He gruffed before closing the window. Grinning slightly at his ability to irritate the old man, Alex cheerfully began typing away deciphering intelligence reports about the goings on of the rebel and revolt troops, occasionally copying and saving an interesting file to his personal file.
*Maybe tomorrow I should try to apply for an official position in the army.... Nah* Alex thought to himself while he worked
OOC Notes
He would remain quiet, to wait and see if anyone he knew extensively came through the door....

Re: [OOC] Arcane Armageddon
lol
anyways, we should probably get back to it, because pretty soon we might need to throw in some battles/assassination plots/spying, and also, we could use a good event to help increase the story. I added a minor event in my post about a Human Airport bombing (oh how original of me XD), and so, we might want to work something off that maybe.
Just saying that it seems to have slowed.
Also, feel free, if you haven't made a character yet and want a basis for one that would help you enter the story, Matthew is an old friend of my characters that is mentioned in the history. He doesn't need to be added, but it is a good basis.

Doing so triggered the third party to intervene and a battle starts triggering a epic war between the two.
Also, my event could cause this. It is a terrorism move. :D
