Introduction
This isn't a game about fancy fights, dramatic relationships or anything the like. This is a game
about how far down the rabbit hole you are willing to go.
In a forsaken town by the name of Helenenburg,somewhere in western Europe, 2047 a.d. crime rates are now just as high as the ridiculous prices of food. Cars are a luxury only a few can afford. Night life is restricted only to a few "red-light districts" which need you to register before entering - they are the only exception from the curfew. Populism, especially when aimed against Muslims, is at an all time high. Never before was the police force as strong as today. And in the middle of all this, an uncountable number of organizations is trying to get a piece of the cake.
As of lately, the sightings of psyonics have reached an unprecedented high - some sources suggest that about 0,2% of the worlds total population today is able to bend matter to their will. The rise of the psyonics is all but good news, in response the government invested astronomical sums in the research of cybernetic augmentations, making them nearly ready for the assembly lines.
But who knows if anything of the above is actually true? What if there are no psyonics? What if it's not the year 2047? You can't know for sure.
What you can know is, that this is what you are expected to believe - be it true or not.
In those dark days, only a few are brave enough to speak their truths and fight against corruption and systematic dumbing down of the population.
Will you protect what's left of the state? Will you disregard it and save yourself and your dearest? Or Will you walk the path of Altruism?
So, what are important attributes that we should clarify before starting?
Loyalty is one of the, if not the most important attribute of this game. Loyalty defines whether you are a well adjusted, law obeying, tax-paying citizen, a ruthless human trafficker, or the paranoid tinfoil hat. Just tell us what your character is loyal to, state, self or perhaps an abstract form of truth?
Furthermore, there are the obligatory questions:
How will this game start?
First, you will create a character and send the draft to me. I'd like you to fill out the attributes posted above and tell me as much as you want about your character - be as detailed as you want. The character creation itself shouldn't be strictly restricted to character sheet only, but should happen in a dialogue. We'll have a look at her/him and talk about some of his motivations and/or goals. After we've approved of your character , you may create an " official " character sheet ( more later ) and post it.
The lore
After enough characters are participating, you will receive the lore your character believes in. Contrary to many other games, there is no " true " lore - or is there? The lore you will receive is influenced a lot by your characters class, education, opinions, social fields and many other factors.
The paranoid factor
I should also note that, due to this game attempting to be as realistic as possible, your character may lie. You may fake your character sheet
( e.g. Your character might be known for his kindness, but might be a terrible sadist in private ). You may even plot in secret -
or hide in plain sight. As the name suggests, this is a game of secrets and intrigues, what you don't do might be far more important than what you do. The only rule is the GM has to know about it. So if you want some things " hidden " don't post them here, but message me privately. You have to know for yourself how much you are willing to give away - I'll let you know should it be too little.
On an important side note, just because I'm not using smileys doesn't mean I'm mean. Whatever question you have, feel free to ask. I'm always glad if I can help. And to further prove I am a good guy: :3
To conclude the introduction and prepare you for the world you are about to enter:
" Nothing is true, everything is permitted. "

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 5 authors
Zeno watched in horror as the masked man ranted about the state, psychology, and how the girls that they presented deserved to die. While he agreed with some of what the masked man said, what he was doing was going too far. He was mad or at least mad in the way that allowed him to plan something like this and function normally, but when it came down to it, he was happy to kill someone in the name of his own ideals. The gambler was starting to feel sick.
He grimaced. The whole crowd was probably being watched by the police right now, which explained masks. Worse, he wasn't wearing a mask so his face was probably being broadcasted over at the police station and his contacts there wouldn't be able to help him if he was declared a terrorist. Damn his curiosity. He had to think of something to make sure he wasn't either killed by a psychopath in a mask or the trigger-happy government. Cursing as he reached only one conclusion, he ran forward.
"Wait!!!!!!!!! Stop!!!" he cried, raising his voice for the first time and pushing his way through the crowd, "Dude, Masked Guy! Whatever! I don't know you! I got swept over here walking home! But, these girls don't deserve death! They're just whores! Whoever you have a problem with, it's not them! You're just proving the point that you're a terrorist! Fuck you man, I don't want to get caught in the middle of all this!"

Fuck you man, I don't want to get caught in the middle of all this!"
Soon after Zeno spoke those words, the crowd goes silent. Zeno, now standing right in front of the podium is being stared at by the empty, white mask of the masked man.
,, Hrm. It appears we've got ourselves a genuine altruist. " The Masked man starts, dropping his hammer. ,, Sadly, the expression " it appears " is absolutely correct. While it appears you are acting out of pure altruism, perhaps philantrophism, you aren't doing anything else but protecting yourself. Your perception is flawed, too focused on the smaller picture. Just in the time we had this rally, about 43 minutes since it started, around six thousand children died due to starvation. " The masked man kneels next to the praying woman and tears of her necklace ,, All the while our lady here was spending unjustly earned money to satisfy her bottomless lust for possession. " The masked man shakes his head and throws the necklace into the crowd, surprisingly no one bothers catching it. ,, The necklace I just threw away, pure gold, three diamonds, platinum ornaments - estimated value around two million ED - could have sustained those children..." The masked man stands up and looks down upon you ,, For three years. " He shakes his head and sighs. ,, Don't tell me they're innocent. "
Zeno's view is shaken heavily as he falls face over on the ground, the crowd going wild on him. ,, Enough. " The masked man, using the megaphone for this occasion, says and the crowd backs off. ,, I am deeply sorry for the behavior of my brothers and sisters in arms. These are troubled times for all of us, neglection of the basic right for freedom of speech is happening just too often. " The masked man faces the crowd now. ,, You all should be ashamed, behaving the same way our corporate state does; innocent until proven guilty appears to have lost it's meaning. This man stood up for his ideals; even if they appear to be selfish - a desperate attempt at self preservation, both in health as in reputation. " The masked man turns his back on the crowd and walks a few steps. ,, I, the masked man, leader of the resistance, former member of the Libertarian party declare, that the man I just exchanged words with is in no way associated with any of this; in fact he may have been forced to attend this rally. " He lowers his head as if thinking deeply. ,, I am however intrigued. Both by your courage and the words you've chosen, I am rather sure you are a rare exception, knowing that what I spoke of was partially Psychology, I am impressed. In the spirit of equal sovereignty, would you join me on this podium and speak on behalf of this woman, I guarantee you that in any case you will be escorted away and reach your destination safely. " The masked man nods and the man with the megaphone reads out the charges.
,, Katarina Braun. 31 years of age. Became a model at the age of 19. Responsible for a public campaign, supporting the war in Iran. Days of honest work, zero. Average monthly upkeep, five million ED. Amount she used to help this world,
zero ED. " The woman starts to scream ,, That's not true! Listen, I financed the green campaign! It helped - " The masked man intervenes ,, Yes, yes. Of course. Green campaign. 55 million ED used for raising awareness for our planet.
In the end, only 3 million were actually used for that purpose. 52 million went directly into your and your associate's pockets. " As he finishes, the man with the megaphone proceeds reading out the charges. ,, Adopted two children from Islamic republics to gain media attention, forcefully re-educated them and converted them. Does the defense have anything to say? "

"Judging by the activity outside I'm guessing that there is something big going on right now. I'm not liking it, either way. Let us see what the hell is happening." Isaac said walking to the television that was on the desk. He flipped the switch and saw the Masked Man going on about how the government was corrupt and how these woman are nothing but whores that live off of the successes of society. He saw a familar face running up the crowd. He knew the boy from the slums. They talked a few times. Found out that he wanted to gamble instead of working in the factory, he had called the boy crazy more than a few times.
The boy tried to stop the beatings that were going on. He knew the man on the screen. Isaac couldn't stand to watch any longer. He knew that the government wasn't going to change just because of somebodies hookers had gotten the shit beaten out of them. He turned off the television and sat down on the floor. Nothing was going his way tonight, first the beat down, then getting couped up in hotel, and now a terrorist was in the city. He sighed and stood back up. The kid had a look on his face that was pure horror. It was like he had never seen an act of terrorism like that before. Isaac had never seen one live, but he had seen plenty of videos of them. The worst one was about the Holocaust that happened in World War II.
"So does anyone want to play some cards? I'm stuck here until tomorrow morning. Might as well do something to keep us occupied." He said spotting a deck of cards sitting on the desk. He picked them up and started shuffling, he wasn't as good as the kid on the television, but it was worth something. He sat down on the floor and started dealing three piles of seven cards each. He planned on playing rummy. He had learned it when he was a child.

He planned on playing rummy. He had learned it when he was a child.
Zeno frowned slightly, wiping his face where someone struck him. The masked man was smarter than he appeared to be. He at least recognized that he wasn't supporting the government, just looking out for his own. He even felt a modicum of respect for the man as he disassociated him from the rally and prevented him from being brutalized. True, he recognized Zeno's selfishness, but even with that, he'd have to give him props for recognizing his own self-interest. He frowned, however, as he was pushed towards the podium. Reluctantly, he stood up there.
The woman was looking at him like he alone could save her and, judging from the Masked Man's behavior, she was right. He had to think carefully. Zeno never liked having someone else's life on the line. He preferred to look after himself and only himself. Still, it was possible he could get the girl off the hook. He straightened himself and spoke.
"It is true that maybe the defendant doesn't deserve to live, sir. I am not disputing her crimes. You probably know more about her than myself," he told the man honestly, causing the woman to gasp and glare at him.
"What are you doing?! Are you trying to get me killed?!!"
Zeno ignored her and continued, "However, I propose that she is merely a product of her environment. She was taught the values she currently holds by the very people you are fighting against. She is a victim of mere chance, as are we all, born in the midst of the corruption of the upper class, so I propose that you leave her life to chance."
He took out a deck of cards and began shuffling them with ease, even amidst the confusion of the crowd. He then spoke lowly so the woman couldn't hear, finishing the shuffle and putting up a hand as though in a nervous tic in order to obscure cameras or any lip-readers, "If you're a revolutionary leader, then you know gambling isn't my only profession. If you win, you may do what you will with the woman and I will give you information, any piece of information I have at my disposal or can get my hands on, but..."
Then he spoke loudly so the crowd could hear, "If I win, you let her go or exchange her for prisoners or whatever else you can do with her, just don't kill her. I also get some of the dirt you have on the government."
He said this last part quietly, not wanting to give himself away. This was risky, but if it worked, he could do his good deed and get some new information out of it.

Illuminati- damned Satan-worshippers. Also, I like things that fight against Illuminati. I'll be happy to join.
Re: Illuminati - A game of fear
The beauty...
and the beast.
I do hope you recognize those characters, because more are incoming. On a side note, I can't reach a certain person through private message right now:
You can't do that yet, it's too early in the story, keep IT for later so I can keep THEM for now.

Re: Illuminati - A game of fear
I am officially a high school grad. YAY! So, i have more time on here. I'll start working on something. Oh, and Freimeier, I think I know what your getting at, but I am not to sure.
Re: Illuminati - A game of fear
Now that's a shame.
Let's make this a bit more interesting, and more cliche.
Down down, all around
masked man's not to be found.
Those who seek,
will dwell for long
singing the striped shirty song.
Up up, all around
whispers, rumors - crooked sound
A realization for those who listen
they'll know: Ignorance has blessed them.
Lef left, all around
by party, system they are bound
Those who feel,
still wont sink the boat
Society will cut their throat
Right right, all around
never trust the white-eyed hound
A realization for all who saw
Quot Iusticia: " Nevermore. "
The answers are in the text.

Posting order is dynamic.
Something along the lines: You, Brenna, Zeno, Otter. With me intervening whenever I see necessary, but trying to stay a bit in the background.
If it fits, go ahead and post - I'll let you know should you overdo it.

Re: Illuminati - A game of fear
Ladies and gentlemen,
the game has started. All characters that had their sheets at least partially submitted got an opening post made by me. Feel free to continue the story; posting order will be cleared after the first posts have been made.
After this point, everything is part of the game.
Don't trust anyone, question everything.

Re: Illuminati - A game of fear
I was thinking about how you know everything about our characters. So, yeah it would make sense to wait until most -if not all- cards are on the table.
Re: Illuminati - A game of fear
We are currently at 5 character sheets, as of now I am approving the last two.
Also, yes I will eventually have characters, but as of now I will refrain from creating one - it would defeat the purpose to give away any information this early.

Re: Illuminati - A game of fear
Excuse the double post, but I felt the necessity of sharing the following:
The game will start in about 72 hours. We're at 4 players currently, 1 pending and 2 who're undecided yet. I can manage up to 8 players without any form of trouble, so if you know someone who you'd like to join, feel free to invite them.
Furthermore, if you have any questions, ideas or you'd just like to note something, go ahead and do so.
Why I'm already making preparations; after the 72 hour period, everything will be part of the game.
In the spirit of the world of tomorrow:

Re: Illuminati - A game of fear
Hello and thanks for all the interest in this game. Let's go through the posts:
Male or Female? Currently we have two female players, if you wish to be Female as well, I have
no issue with that - you have to decide for yourself.
Length of posts? Feel free to type as much as you want. In fact, the deeper you get, the better
the game is. I have a story about this; I have been playing this type of game quite often.
And once I was playing a female police officer. A friend of mine dissapeared and left a
lengthy message on my phone. If you took every 23rd word, the result was " They've cut off my legs. "
One of the most chilling things I have ever experienced whiel RP'ing.
So long thought short, post as much or as little as you want, as long as you're happy with it
and put enought thought into it. :3
Character sheet? As you saw for yourself, even my " sheet " was very liquid. You can fill it out
strictly using the bullets, or you take the time and tell me the story of your character in wich
you answer the bullets. It's important however, that I get some sort of answer to the bullets.
Every bullet has a huge impact on what will happen in the story.
PM? Yes, pretty please. I am a GM that likes to take the ideas of the players into consideration,
and I like to talk about possible motivations and settings. So if you find the time, PM me
your character, and we'll work something out.
To explain this: I don't like the typical beginner D&D type of character creation, where you
just give numbers a few names and then wait what the GM does to your character. tell me as
much or as little about your character as you want - the more information I have, the more fun
this will get.
