Scars Across the Dawn

Scars Across the Dawn

0 INK

[FULL]It's just another year of boarding school, except the world is randomly invaded by monsters, and there's an alien hivemind looming overhead...oh, and some of the student body happens to harbor alien DNA inside them too...yeah just another year.

Introduction

The year is 2025, and the world as known by people has changed from what it once was. Though life has ticked onward, continuing to march forward despite all that attempts to hinder it, things have still changed. But what people know—citizens, government agencies and all in-between—just so happens to be but a tip of an iceberg. People have suspected it for generations, others have thrown accusations that those in power were keeping secrets of this from general populace. . . . But the truth is something stretching far beyond the minds of even the most imaginative humans.

We are not alone.

Far from that, we haven’t been alone on our tiny, once thought lonely little planet for a very, very long time. They’ve been with us for eras, living right with us in the open, unbeknownst to everyone but themselves. And it is only in the recent decade that people began to suspect as much after countless years. And, even in the present day, no one is sure of them.

In the year 2025, the world has changed not because people have discovered the presence of aliens among them, or because they’ve made themselves known—rather, it has so changed because of something else entirely. All over the world—in cities and rural areas alike—there has been confirmed, and increasing reports of monster assaults. Yes, monsters. Manners of creatures that defy existence, things that take on the forms of beasts beyond the known world. What they are, from where they’ve come, and why, those are questions no known human can answer. The only known fact is that they are real, and that they are dangerous.

It began in 2015. The first sighting and report. It was dismissed as someone’s drug induced illusion—but reports and sightings grew in numbers over the following months, until at last there was no way it could be denied. They were real, they were real, and they were attacking people. These monsters were dangerous, unknown and a question. Theories were thrown around, but none could be confirmed. No answer could be provided. Anytime someone managed to kill one of these beasts, it simply vanished into the air, fading away as if it had never been physical to begin with. There was no trace of it left to even study—and even when captured alive, the same just happened. The creature simply vanished. But to all, they are known well enough, those injured and attacked by these creatures know more than anyone else that they exist.

Since it became a recognized threat and problem, things began to change. Countries became more wary, defenses increased and governments became stricter—the presence of armed officers and military forces became a normality in everyone’s lives. People have continued to live their lives much the same as before this began, but the changes were there, evident, sticking out like a sore thumb.

Though the truth was something that remained unknown among the human population of Earth—those walked among humanity in silence, and in secret knew all too well where it was these beasts came from. Those aliens who lived among humanity had known for years that one day they would come, and from where. That was the very reason they were among humans in the first place. They knew that the threat which loomed over humanity now was something none of them could imagine. . . .

From their language to ours, it came to be known as ‘The Collective’, its true name something lost to the ages. What it was and what it did was feared universally wide. It took no true form, it bore no body, and no one originally understood it—but after generations of study and accounts made by those who’d survived it, it came to be understood, it came to be known as a hivemind entity. It came from the farthest and oldest reaches of the known universe, slowly progressing through space, and dimming the lights of inhabited world after inhabited world—each one fell after the other. Wherever it traveled, the universe went dark shortly after. Why it did this, or how, was not known for millennia.

It took a time longer than most humans can imagine to decipher how it was the hivemind worked, how it was it did what it did. . . . How it was it managed to tear the minds of any being in its path from their body and absorb it into itself. Every planet that it came across with intelligent life, it made quick work of. Often it only took weeks—tearing away the minds of a world’s people before it would move onto the next. All that would ever be left behind were the many bodies. It became the nightmare of almost every people that knew of it as soon as word spread. And as quickly as its existence was confirmed, did many different species come together to try to find a way to stop it, and to save all intelligent life from its workings.

And by the efforts of many over the course of lifetimes and research spanning generations, was a way to combat it discovered. Or . . . at least a way to halt it.

The products of many experiments—the work of many alien species put together. They came to be renowned as ‘Sentinels’.

Biologically engineered and created to blend into the planet they were deposited on, they were a people made with only one mission—to keep the Collective at bay. And, it is they that walk among humanity now. Blending in with us, eating with us—perhaps even friends with us. By the efforts of their creators, the Sentinels among mankind are nearly indistinguishable from humans. But, they differ in ways few could imagine. In both mental ability and physical, they are vastly dissimilar. They possess what humans otherwise call ‘superpowers’. How they manifest is something that varies widely between all Sentinels, but remains fact is that they all have them, however, there is one ability which runs through them all—something encoded into them from the moment of their creation. A natural, inherent ability that acts as a barrier against the Collective’s own to separate the mind from the body. So long as enough Sentinels remain upon one planet, the Collective remains unable to absorb the people into itself.

And so, the Sentinels have wandered across the face of Earth for longer than any human could imagine. . . . So long enough have they been among us that more times than a few have there been children born between themselves, and a human. Hybrid children, both alien and human in origin, and in no time or era is this truer than in the current. Hybrids wander across the world, knowing or not knowing the truth of their lineages—most believing themselves normal humans. And just like their Sentinel parents though, they manifest inhuman abilities. Sometimes unnoticeable and other times, they become far more pronounced. Just like their alien parents though, each one carries within them an inherent ability to repel the Collective. . . .

It was only in recent years that the Collective came to understand why its efforts in integrating humanity into itself failed. It did not take long for it come to know of the Sentinels, and what it was they were made to do. In an effort to do away with them all, the Collective began to reform parts of itself into physical forms—monsters to humanity—and deposited them onto Earth in order to hunt them down. This is something which has been going on for the last decade as the effort to stave the hivemind off seems to be working. However, there has been an uptick as of late in how many monsters the Collective is leaving upon the planet. . . .

But, our story doesn’t take place globally, rather, it centers around a rather obscure place that might not seem a target for the hivemind monsters; a simple boarding school located on the outskirts of a modest sized city.

Marshall Bloodworth Preparatory Academy—a seemingly ordinary boarding school, inhabited by adolescents in-between the ages of 13 and 20. The school is usually just called Bloodworth Prep by most students, and faculty. It is around here that more and more monster attacks have been reported. . . .

During the late summer of 2025, a new school year is about to begin for the students of Bloodworth Prep, despite the noted increase of monsters. And with the return of students to the campus, so have rumors come alive once more. Despite the sightings of these beasts, there have been no reports of attacks or assaults—much to the surprise of many. Why this is though, no one knows for sure . . . but rumors are abound of a strange figure that has made it her duty to fend off these otherworldly beast. The students of Bloodworth Prep call her their superheroine—and claim her to possess the power to control fire. Of course, there are many who dismiss this as mere idle gossip. But, there are many among the teenage students who believe it to be true. And if it is, no one has any idea as to who the superheroine really is.

Just why is that more hivemind monsters have seen fit to attack an out of the way boarding school though. . . ? The reason lies within the existence of the Hybrid children—within the school’s current student body there is an odd concentration of them.

Of course, few are aware of their heritage and that they are the reason behind this.

Despite the monsters, and the fact that a superheroine is rumored to be around the campus—the academic year at Bloodworth Prep is set to go off much the same as every other year. And the lives of the students are more or less expected to be as normal as usual. However, it is notable to say that there was a strange influx of first year applicants to the school, and as such, some rooming situations have since changed. . . .

What the year has ahead of it for these students, both human and Hybrid, is unknown, but it’s certain to be an unforgettable one.

As far as the situation goes, there are going to be six slots open for this roleplay—male and female even in numbers. Some of these slots were reserved prior to the posting of the roleplay. So those are ones already closed and taken. The number of slots in this roleplay remains slated at six, there will be no more characters accepted after six. In order to take an open slot, you need to reserve it by asking for it in the OOC thread! I’ll confirm the reservation—first come first served. If there are any questions about anything when making a character, do not hesitate to ask me either in the OOC thread or by PM if you’re feeling shy. ^ ^ I might not reply right away as I work and am starting up college again, but, I’ll get around to it within a day.

Characters will also wind up rooming together too; I’ll be deciding those situations once all the characters are in. And please use the provided character skeleton below to make your character!

Toggle Rules

• As far as posting length goes, I’m imposing a minimum word count per post. I don’t want a bunch of tiny posts, so I’ll ask that you please write at least one-hundred words per post. Also, I expect proper grammar and spelling, this is meant to be a literate roleplay so, I think that understandable?

• No godmodding or meta-gaming. Seriously, no one really likes this, so don’t force an outcome to a battle or anything, okay? Also, no killing other people’s characters off!

• Post as often as you’d like—I’d love it if everyone could post at least once a day, but I know that can be a bit much to ask at times. So, I’d really appreciate it if everyone posted just as much as they could. At the minimum, I’ll be asking for a post once every three days here, if you don’t, you’ll be receiving PMs about this. Nothing personal, we just don’t want the roleplay to go and die out!

I understand that real life gets in the way of online life sometimes though, so if you can’t post for a little while, please notify everyone in the OOC thread, okay? Then go ahead and try to get your character out of the limelight for a little while so the roleplay doesn’t get all stopped up and stuck. If you can’t do this though, permission will be granted to the other players to ghost roleplay your character to the extent of performing minor actions in order to get them out of the limelight until you yourself are able to return and assume control.

If you are gone for more than five days without proper notification though, your character will be put up for dibs, and one of the remaining active roleplayers will be allowed to control them until you return.

Also, there is no set posting order at all, simply, do not double post.

• Romance is encouraged here, but not smut. Yes, one of the tags for this roleplay is ‘adult’ as I expect some situations to arise in the roleplay that aren’t exactly rated G. Buuuut, I don’t want full out graphic scenes cluttering the roleplay up, keep the situations PG-13 and make sure you follow the rules of the site too—wrap up kissing scenes in two posts, and keep the stuff separated by five posts in total. If things start taking a turn for the too graphic, FADE TO BLACK and take your hormones elsewhere. I don’t want to log onto the roleplay and find a sex scene or something really smutty. . . . ._.

You can use innuendo and stuff here, but, try not to make it the only thing your character says, give them some more depth than that.

• As far as violence goes, it and gore are not a problem for me at all. There are going to be fights and action in this roleplay, so I expect some blood, but I don’t want the roleplay turning into some gore-laced horror story, where there is a disemboweled body at every turn, so let’s keep death and injury at a realistic level. We don’t want anyone leaving here mentally scarred, do we?

• Reserve characters in the OOC thread, remember that there is a cap time for reservations, two days from the time I confirm your request. Also remember this; if you can’t commit to the roleplay, then don’t submit.

• If you have a question, ask me. ^^

• Do not post until it stated that it is time to begin, I will myself write the introduction post, and once it has been placed, then it is free game.

Re: Scars Across the Dawn

He can take my spot. I don't have as much time as I thought I would to do this u.u

Re: Scars Across the Dawn

Well, okay, sorry about the miswording still. Thank you!

Re: Scars Across the Dawn

No thanks, it seems that would unbalance things. Good luck with the roleplay!

Re: Scars Across the Dawn

That was a case of mis-wording on my part--I usually have eight slots open in my roleplays. I apologize for that, I've amended the wording . . . because that was my fault I'm more than willing to reserve a slot for you in the roleplay if you would like?

Re: Scars Across the Dawn

It's tagged as [FULL], but I only see 6 roles when it's said there's 8 total. Clarification?

Re: Scars Across the Dawn

Yeah, sure. =) It's reserved for you. ^ ^

Re: Scars Across the Dawn

Can I reserve female number 3?

Scars Across the Dawn

I'm sure ya'll know the drill with this place, reserve here, chit-chat with others, converse and plot on how to take over the world or ask general questions about the roleplay.
