(For reference, look to the first, and archived Realm of the Risen (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=297885))

Hello again, it's SB with an RP announcement. In responce to Realm of the Risen (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=297885), the first "survival-horror" RP on NationStates, I am now beginning to plan, along with Tappee, a sequel.

The first one was supposed to be used as backstory to my Civil War RP (going on for about 9 months now), but it was acclaimed by a good number of people (it's not really my best writing...but...) and I thought that it was a lot of fun as well. Since that time, I've seen numerous "survival-horror" type RP's around NS, and I have come to realize that I miss it.

So as the first one started as a nostalgic act on my part (I'm a long time fan of Resident Evil), this one will as well, as soon as my Civil War finally comes to an end.

This should begin late December/Early January. Questions? Comments? Want to reserve a spot? Post away!

Taking part in the first, and as a result getting drawn in to everthing that has occurred since, you can count me in.

Well.. I may decide to take part in this. As long as I can be grotesquely gruesome. :)

That's all we ask!

...actually we ask more, like character development, writing ability, etc...lol...but you get the picture...

bump :D

I'm a fan or horror, even got my own "horror/sci-fi" thread.

ALIEN VS PREDATOR- My first hosted RP and the first AVP, ALIEN, or Predator related RP on NS.

I'll think on it SB.

That's all we ask!

...actually we ask more, like character development, writing ability, etc...lol...but you get the picture...

well, you've seen my longer RP's on the NSMLB.. so you know what I'm capable of. If needed, I throw in a few more examples to threads.

Don't worry about it...I'm just trying to get the word out....

(Joy. Part 2 is finally here.)

I shall definitely want in on this one. The first one was beautiful, proof of which is shown in the fact that it is in the archive.

Tagity.... looks interesting.

I would like to participate. I always enjoyed playing resident evil late at night. Playing a survival horror rp might be fun as well.

The first one was awesome. If you got room for one more, count me in.

SB, I'll join if you want me... And disregard my TG...

I would be interested in joining as well if there is room remaining.

I would absolutely love to join into this. I don't have much experiance with survial horror, but I certainly feel that I am up for the task. Simply check out my other threads and posts for my ability, but I would write differently for the survial horror obviously.

OOC: You got another spot? I'll take it.

Pretty much what I'll be aiming for from everyone are two characters...obviously Tappee and I will have more...but from everyone else I'll want two...perhaps three if you want. More information will come later.

Also, Tappee, I have a new idea that we need to talk about when we get time.

So, I got your TG, Steel Butterfly. What exactly did you want to bring into this story? And how did you know about my ability to play characters, we have never been involved in a RP before?

Tappee and I are still in the planning stages, so I can't tell you exactly what I want you to "bring" because there's still the potential for me to change my mind. As to your second question, I'm an advertising master. Lets just leave it at that.

Okay, I suppose I can deal with waiting. Just let me know what you would like. I have worked with Tappee. Maybe Tappee told you something, don't leave me in the dark. I would like to know.

Actually no your name hasn't come between me and Steel. But in truth is i am looking forward to RPing with you, it's been awhile. Who knows Jade might even make an breif appeance here and there.

So, what actually are we waiting for??? When is this going to get started?

We are waiting for two thing

First being Steel and myself are still working out some of the details.

Second we are waiting for Steel's civil war to end. The outcome will affect the plot to some extent

Good things come to the those who wait. Based on the conversations that I have been having with Steel Part two is going to be much more intresting then the first, with much more depth to the actual story.

I wait. I watch. I twiddle my thumbs.

In the meantime, you can read up on:

Some of the characters will appear in both RotR:II and the civil war.

Ok, what kind of characters are you looking for?

Civilians...and not "super humans" or anything. Make 'em interesting and make them deep. Every real being has weaknesses...and plenty of them.

believe me, after this, the characters will all need some form of therapy...lol

It's more fun when the characters don't have military training. Trust me people. And keep it in mind.

Ooh, can I join?

Should we "resurrect" our char from last one or craft a new one? (either way works).

My characters from the first one will make an apperence, but will not be my main characters.

Got it, so all new cast, but maybe a cameo appearance of old chars.

lol

It's completely up to you. If you all haven't noticed, RotR is a part of a bigger series, yet it's independant enough to allow for everyone's involvement. What might be brand new characters to a few of you, may be everyday ones for Tappee and I.

OOC: A wee character bio before I forget...

Name: Atticus Blackwell
Age: 44 years
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 220 lbs
Hair: Black/steel grey
Eyes: Blue
Position: Security (If needed)
Background: Spent seven years in US Army, serving as a basic rifleman. Served in Gulf war, during some of the heavier fighting. Blackwell reciveved a Purple Heart after recieveing gunshot wounds to the chest & head. During the engagement, he was immobile & watched as his squad leader & squadmates where cut down by Iraqi machinegun fire. This violent incident, along with the tramatic & nearly fatal gunshot wound to the head, have made Blackwell irritable at the best of times, and violent at the worst. He is an alcoholic, having taken to the bottle to cope with the Post-Tramatic Stress Syndrome or 'Shell-Shock' of his final military engagement. After being honorably discharged from military service, Blackwell attended Sullivan University & earned a BS in psychology.

Blackwell's wife left him soon after he returned to the US & began his first bout of alcoholisum. After several arguements, she simply took the couple's two children & vanished. Blackwell has undergone many military & civilian therapy sessions. As such, he is on the path to recovery, but still remains a very heavy drinker & irritable individual.

Fucked-up enough for ya?

Can we have more than one character?

If I remember right, it states earlier that two are wanted.

Oh, and since my character, Mason, was one of the people that got out, would he show up?

(And sorry, I never actually kept track of your civil war.....)

Correct, two is what we want...

and it's up to you if you want Mason showing up, although he won't be part of a team if he does.

So, what kind of character do you want from me, Steel?

I think that's up to you.

Besides, I think I may want three characters.. but I'm going to kill one off early on anyway.

grr...going against the grain...

OOC: It's a lot easier for me to develop a single character than a pair of them, but if it's two you want, here's another...

Name: Charles Thomas 'CT' Turner
Age: 24
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 189 lbs
Position: Unassigned
Previous Occupation: Classified
Nationality: American
Eyes: Green
Hair: Brown

Turner is an interesting individual. While outgoing & flirtatious, he has a secretive air about him that most find somewhat uncomfortable. Rumors abound about his past, some say he was an assassin, others a government operative, still others say he was a mail carrier. CT's manner is charming & whitty, the proverbial life of the party. In his personal time, he often visits the gym & local shooting range. An avid heath nut, CT prefers to keep himself in top physical condition & has sworn off alcohol & tobacco.

OOC: Atticus is your typical hard-drinking war veteran, while CT is something a bit different. He's an asipiring assassin. He hasn't developed the steel nerves & tactical mindset for his chosen profession, so he's more of a screw-up than a badass.

Here's my characters... and no, I'm not going to reveal any character traits -- you'll have to find out their traits via my posts.

Stan Marsh
Kenny McCormick
"Darius"

NG.....are you kidding?

Anyways, my characters will be Angela Lucus and Paul Oaken.

Don't have much info on them at this time.

Please.. they're just names.

NG, no south park characters. I won't have my RP being something that is laughed at when read for stupid names.

Anyhow...I'm bumping this beotch since my Civil War is winding down.

I'd almost forgotten about this.

SB, would it be alright if I kept both of my characters from the last one? I didn't really follow the Civil War after the first RotR, and though my characters survived, they just kinda faded away into limbo. I think it would be cool if they showed up in the second RotR with no memories beyond the last RotR...and thus no idea why they are there. So while they're trying to survive, they have to try and figure out where they are, why they're there/how they got there, and how to get away. I don't know what you have in mind for baddies this time around, but I was also thinking it would be neat to have one of my characters get captured and "turned". Then when he comes after the other one, the remaining character is forced to defend himself against the thing that was once his friend. In case you didn't know, I get a kick out of RPing the bad guys. :D

I dunno, if none of that sounds good to you, I'm willing to make new characters, and go along with pretty much anything.

I'm not sure what all I've said (I haven't re-read the thread) but the area is not going to be a big city this time. It's going to be a lot more restricted.

Well, RotRII: Angel's Holocaust will be about 3 "years" after the last RotR...so it's up to you what you want to do with your characters.

Just as a rule to everyone...keep them realistic. Granted this is sci-fi, and at times VERY sci-fi...but no psychics and that sort of thing. There will be enough madness with what the Q-Virus does.

I'm still game, have my characters all ready to go (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=356982)

ooc: I'm writting a post for the civil war right now ;)

I see. Well, with the tech we're dealing with, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to say that they were in stasis for the duration of that time. Or possibly experimented on and then given a memory wipe so that they remember nothing that occurred within those 3 years. I don't want to take too many liberties with your story once it's underway, so maybe we should come up with a way to tie in the explanation for where they've been for 3 years, and why they've ended up in the second RotR.

I've never taken part in a character RP before, but always thought they looked like a lot of fun, and this one in particular appears to have some real potential. If you don't mind I'd like to try my hand at it; if nothing else, I can write well.

My two characters would be Marshall "Duke" Ellison and Stephen Miles III. Suffice it to say that they will be... different.

trust me when I say the first one was really fun. In fact me and Steel have carried our character through to the civil war, so it has almost been a year from start to finish for the RP as an entirety.

Heh, I just assumed it was dead and stopped working, but that can quickly be fixed... You said avoid millitary correct? (or is that another old thing I am thinking of)

Thought this died. Oh well. I'm waiting still.

I'm really torn on this subject, and it will undoubtedly have to be discussed. I have two main problems with military-type people in a situation like this.

1. Often, everyone wants to make their character a soldier.

2. It sometimes becomes the soldiers in one group and the civilians in another. This is cliche.

That being said, most of my best characters come from a military background...so unless I want to make a new one...and I can't say that I really do...I'd almost have to use a military-type character.

Okay, I won't use them then.

Name: Lon Caberto
Current: Exiled Unionist
Height: 5ft 8in
Weight: 179 lbs
Job: Currently unemployed, some funds from sympathetic Unionists
Training: Basic education level, everything else self taught, slight ‘Farcter’ (drops 'k's and turns 'u's into 'i's) accent, some proficiency with small arms, decent fighter with anything and everything he can find (or fists), as well as training in construction and mechanical repair.
Hair: Sandy blond
Eyes: Hazel

Not so brief background:
Lon Caberto was a more or less average Joe in AFRP. His only real difference was that he wanted better, not just some promotion and more credits, but something better. For a long while he didn’t know what he wanted, he just wanted it. One day what he had been seeking found him, in a man named Dizon. Dizon introduced Lon to the underground Unionist movement. This movement had been in existence since Mikosolf began its reign it has tried every method to stop, change, or overthrow the Corporation’s brutal control, annoying the Corporation as biting flies annoy a man at every possible time.

But Mikosolf still existed, but despite their lack of success and numerous “purging” they still existed, much to the chagrin of the “bigwigs”. This is what Lon was seeking, a system better than utter and total wage slavery. He joined, starting small; eventually he was put in charge of a small group of men, known only to him by aliases. He led several raids with his ten comrades, till one mission, infiltrating a skunk works. They failed, despite the mole within the building their Intel was wrong, only two men escaped, the others were dead or, like Lon, captured.

He was tortured for information he didn’t have, he confessed to everything he could, from the small petty thefts in his youth, to being a member of the Union, to leading the raid against the works.

Looking back on it now he sees that his utter and complete submission to the Corporation is what saved his life, earning him exile instead of a silence un-martyred death. His life sickens him, the knowing that he betrayed his beliefs merely to save his own measly flesh tears at him; he only lives now because his loathing of Mikosolf is greater than towards himself.

Got the logo and the warning label and centered them. I'm planning on going all out.

I'm starting to finalize the plot. Until then, try this teaser.

They thought it was over. With NiMBUS destroyed and Dr. Ackerman killed, they hoped that it was finished. With tensions rising between two Empires on the border of the Orion Sector and the new government struggling to maintain a stronghold on the sector, Special Agent Michael Xavier is dispatched to Tappee along side Marine escort after distress calls are heard stemming from a secluded lakeside village. After a mobile underwater lab is discovered, it becomes apparent to Xavier and the other specialists how wrong they were. However, as the agents and soldiers alike enter the lab to try and solve the mystery of the village, an unthinkable horror, codenamed Project Angelos, is unleashed upon them all. Will the mystery of the village and the lab be solved? Or will the hunters become the hunted?

Far Beyond Fear…

Realm of the Risen II: Angel’s Holocaust

...Coming December 2004...

I think the guy in the first picture needs a new dermatologist...

But beyond that, the teasing it taunts me! (Can’t wait)

Heh, it's taunting me too, can't wait.

Heh, I like strong language.

Ok then, going along with the teaser...you all have to establish who your characters are. I'm trying to push you towards a "group of experts" who assist my agent and Tappee's director of his sentinel program. Also, if you want a character to be a marine, you can make one...although I wouldn't count on keeping him or her very long. (An exception can be made if you are really attached to your marine character.)

Feel free to use characters that are either new or "used". For the most part, I'll actually be using new ones since most of my main ones will be off in another RP I alluded to in the teaser.

As for the villagers...unless your character is someone from the village who just recently returned or has been out of the village for some time, I don't want you to make one of your characters a villager. I want these people to be mysterious and strange...and not identifyable. Once you start posting as a villager and getting into the villager's thoughts and stuff, they become more "human." I want them to be essentially face-less, although not literally. (have to clarify in a RP like this)

So, I need specialists. If a call was given out to a number of government's highest officials requesting help in an unidentified and mysterious incident within Tappee's borders, what type of specialist would your nation send. I already got the "agent" type person. Come up with something different than the other people. Scientists, doctors, writers, ect.

Ok, good. Now, why would this character be there? Obviously he would hate large corporations like NiMBUS, which would give him good motive to do certain things, but why would he venture to Tappee on this fateful trip?

Maybe a contact from/for the unionist underground (Mikosolf doesn't like its people getting foreign news). So he is still trying to get back into the movement even if its just shuttling news papers or the like.

A screw-up assassin would work. This could really be his "coming into himself" type thing if you wanted. An assassin is original though, and such a man would be sent "just in case" I'm sure.

Maybe a contact from/for the unionist underground (Mikosolf doesn't like its people getting foreign news). So he is still trying to get back into the movement even if its just shuttling news papers or the like.

Then would he just have bad luck and be stranded in Tappee because of an accident, or actually be send there?

I think bad luck would be more likely, news can be gotten from another source really. But he just got the bad luck to be dropped off there by the cargo ship, and recalls seeing a Tappee-ian newspaper in the underground so pseduo looking for the contact (that or just stick with bad luck flat out).

Fucked-up enough for ya?

He could be hired independantly, or depending on whether or not you want him to survive, be a part of the multi-nation marine force escorting the specialists to the village.

However, being a psychologist, he could be send along to asses the mindset of the odd villagers. Definately different.

I think bad luck would be more likely, news can be gotten from another source really. But he just got the bad luck to be dropped off there by the cargo ship, and recalls seeing a Tappee-ian newspaper in the underground so pseduo looking for the contact (that or just stick with bad luck flat out).

Yeah, either way would be fine. I'll let Tappee decide if he wants a newspaper in your underground or not. I'm already using his village and lake...lol...(he agreed to that though) don't want to overstep my boundaries.

Your character could be picked up by the marines as they land and held as a prisoner or something, but then released soon after for some reason.

bump so the night crew can take a look

I'll have more on my characters tomorrow/today (depending on timezones).

This is what I am thinking; the setting for this RP will be in Procul, which is an extremely remote colony. However, due recent events (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=361694) the government has all but forgotten about it, and the people there. As a result it has come am criminal hub, ideal for those who do not want to be found, or as a place for mercenary to find work. Despite all this many of the orignal colonist have chosen to remain, not many to leave their home, and hope that the government will step in to clear up the mess.

As for my characters well, I’m still up in the air on this. Due to the nature the members Sentinel Program (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=361694) will be sent out. But also I know that Steel wants Civilians. So I’m thinking that my military team will all eventually die, and my Civ characters will be my main characters.

I'm fickle Tappee. Emily would be a good edition to such an RP. Also, the people in the village won't be human-like in their actions. They will appear to be in a trance-type state.

I'm getting pretty far in the planning. I have a good main "badguy" who isn't as black and white as the last one. Also, I have a good number of plot twists and secrets to uncover.

That being said, this RP will be in two parts. Not two threads or a "end of part one" type deal...but two parts. The first part will be a psychological thriller type deal. There is a huge mystery to solve, and the combat and gore will be limited. Eventually, and it will begin to get obvious, the action will pick up as more things are revealed and some time passes...and of course...in good survival horror fashion, the end will be a fight to survive.

I'm already falling in love with the badguy (right now he's my favorite character) and I'm currently tryin to add some depth to my main character...some sort of weakness other than his youth.

Oh, and if you thought zombies or mutated looking things from the first RotR were hard to fight, wait until you get ahold of the badass things in store for Angel's Holocaust. The Angelos Project will be nuts, and many things won't be as they seem.

I'm pretty excited. Remember, this will start after Christmas in the very last days of 2004.

What I want you guys to do while making your characters is to help me search for a picture of this creation. It needs to look sleek, hopefully dark blue, black, or silver, and be menacing. It will be a hunter, so keep that in mind. Perhaps scythes for hands or something of the sort. Google it or whatnot. Post the pics here if you find one that looks decent.

Angela Cale
Age: 23
Specialization/Position: Botanist
Background/Reason for being here: Angela always loved plants. She grew up loving plants and became a botanist in college. Her older brother Mason disappeared three years ago, and she has been trying to track him down. She heard a rumor that an expedition was somehow related to him. She signed up immediately. She hopes to find out what happened to her brother. Her part in the expedition is to study the flora in the area.

Hemophobic, non-confrontational unless it involves plants.

(A character afraid of blood in a story that promises to be packed with the stuff. Anyways, the younger sister of my RotR character.)



Paul Oaken
Age: 32
Specialization/Position: Soldier
Background/Reason for being there: Longtime friend of the Cales. Promised Mason that if anything should happen to him that Paul would take care of Angela. A soldier by trade, he is part of the Multi-National Marine force being sent in, primarily to watch out for Angela. He has an almost fanatical tendency to keep out Angela out of harms way, even if he is seriously injured in the process. Slight limp from being hit by a car pushing Angela out of the way.


(A character I can kill off if I feel like it.)



This is just a basic outline of the characters. I'll flesh it out a bit more.

Actually that's quite good. Is there any way to get a better picture perhaps?

I'm fickle Tappee. Emily would be a good edition to such an RP. Also, the people in the village won't be human-like in their actions. They will appear to be in a trance-type state.



I myself would love to have Emily in the RP, but there are a few problem that I see. First, don't forget she's having a baby, and will not be able to handle the physical aspects. Second if we set it after she has the baby she would be to busy being a mom.

How about Elcair instead?

My only worries with Eclair is that I don't want this to be Temporal in any way. It's set a year after the civil war, so Emily would most likely have had the baby. There's no way her job as the head of the Sentinel program would allow her to put the child in a family member's care for say two days (if that's how long they're planned to be gone)?

Alright, but there will be one condition, she can't die. I don't want to be high and mighty here, but the fact is I have future plans for her.

Emily is going to play a pivitol part in Tappee future and will I need her for an number of future RP's.

As for my other characters they can all die for what I care.

if this is OK then she be part of the RP

Stephen Miles III:

This 54-year-old man is the former head of Skepticism's Postmodern Research Division. The last member of an Skeptic old-blood family, Dr. Miles has both the arrogance of nobility and the charming cumudgeon demeanor of a scientist ripped away from his studies forcibly. Considered an expert in microbiology and genetic manipulation who drove the Genome Warrior project, Miles has also heavily studdied the occult and supernatural and considers his knowledge in those fields to be exemplary. He wishes to pick over the Procul black market for certain devices he can no longer use on the government's check, and has secondhard knowledge that some bizarre disease or perhaps paranormal event has appeared in the area, which he believes may be his hot-ticket back into the lab.

Marshall "Duke" Ellison:

Nicknamed after the jazz musician, to whom he has more than a passing resemblance, Ellison was a graduate student who won a government competition to become the lab aide to a respected Skeptic scientist. Unfortunately, he eneded up with Miles and now is in the middle of a titanic bureaucratic foul-up about where he should be or who should become the intern of. Without anything better to do, he was needled into accompanying Miles on his "retirement" quest. Ellison is often frustrated with Dr. Miles, his easygoing personality at ends with the oft-manic researcher. A closet perfectionist, diehard atheist, and completely unexperienced in the real world.

I wouldn't kill off your character anyhow. Obviously I'll have a character who can't die as well.

Good except there would be no knowledge of the virus, second hand or not. No one is sent there because of the possibility of a virus, but simply for an investigation due to odd occurances. (and for tappee and my characters, the possibility of an abandoned NiMBUS facility.)

Can I join this game? :)

Sounds good. Just got home so i'm going to go take a shower and come up with some other character and their bio, should have them up soon.

FYI it has almost been a year to the days since we started the first one.

And thanks to the civil war we're still not quite done...lol

Do you roleplay?

Haven't yet, but I've done P&P fer a few years now, 4 to be exact.

This might not be a good first time effort. Perhaps you should try and get involved in one between now and the end of the month for a little practice.

Ok, here's the first of my three main characters, the second agent sent to Tappee along with the specialists and the task force.

http://67.18.37.15/237/117/upload/p662817.png

Name: Michael Alexandrovich Xavier
Rank: Commander
Unit: Marines
Current Unit: Classified
Status: Special Agent

Height: 6'1"
Weight: 190 (Athletic, Muscular Build)
Eyes: Dark Brown
Hair: Dark Brown

Age: 30
Born on: Esthar VIII
Father: Alexander Nemerov (Deceased)
Mother: Nina Xavier (Deceased)
Other Known Family: Alexei Ivanova (Half-Brother, Father's side)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Another product of the former Emperor's affairs, Michael, named by his mother, grew up on Esthar VIII. Like his half-brother Alexei, Michael was "orphaned" at a young age. Also like Alexei, his mother was killed before his own eyes. His mother Nina, a computer programmer, was brutally raped during a break-in at their house. Young Michael had climbed into a sound-proof room to bang on drums after his mother had scolding him for making noise. Through the one-way window that Nina often looked through when observing those who worked for her, Michael saw his mother tossed around and then discarded as the man smashed her head with a computer. Exiting the room while fighting back tears, 8-year old Michael found the pistol that his mom had purchased to protect herself and shot the two men inside of his house.

Not knowing what to do with an orphan who murdered two criminals that had raped and murdered his mother, the Esthar government sent Michael to a rehabilitation unit where he was in therapy for two years. Whether he needed it or not was never asked. After being pronounced sane and mentally stable from the incident, he was immediately tested for certain skills and then enrolled in the Orion Military Academy-Junior Division, a bording school for orphans. Here, he accelled at sports such as baseball, football, and rifle, and chose to remain at the academy in the Senior Division when he turned eighteen. While Michael was enrolled at the OMA during the same time Alexei, Eric, and Lance were, he never met the three men due to the extensive campus.

Specializing in Special Operations, a major only given to a chosen few, he also triple-majored in Sharpshooting and Covert Tactics. He graduated first in his class at the age of 25, a year ahead of Alexei, Eric, and Lance. Immediately given an offer by both Phoenix Intelligence and the Imperial Guard (both prominent agencies now abandoned), he chose the Guard for its mystique and its job description. While Phoenix agents often integrated into the nation that they were spying on, in tern becoming a citizen and living there for some time, Imperial Guards were ghosts, slipping invisibly into the most secure places in the name of the Emperor. A year later, Alexei Ivanova joined the Guard, giving the two their first formal meeting, although neither knew of their true father.

When the guard disbanded two years after Michael's entrance due to the Orion Civil War, he fought along side General Valkare with the rank of Commander when his home planet of Esthar VIII entered the war. Since the old Empire collapsed, he had been working for an unknown organization that reports directly to Emperor Dave Bivens himself. After no reply is heard from Agent Jaden Gates, Special Agent Michael Xavier is dispatched to Tappee alongside a group of specialists to complete Agent Gates' investigation and try to establish contact with the lost agent.

Character two of three, the leader of the multi-national task force sent to Tappee along with Special Agent Xavier and the specialists.

http://67.18.37.15/237/117/upload/p662447.png

Name: Gerald Ernest Harper
Rank: Major
Unit: Mobile Infantry
Current Unit: Task Force Theta
Status: Task Force Commanding Officer

Height: 5'11"
Weight: 170 (Athletic, Muscular Build)
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Light Brown

Age: 46
Born on: Steel Butterfly
Father: Colonel Joshua Harper (Deceased)
Mother: Jennifer Cashman Harper
Other Known Family: Rachel Harper (Sister), Cate Harper (Wife)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Gerald Harper was born to Colonel Joshua Harper and Jennifer Harper when his father was off fighting the Midnight Wars on the Earth colony once inhabited by Steel Butterfly. Knowing his father only through war stories and history books, Gerald was prevented throughout his childhood from pursuing a life similar to his father's by his mother.

Growing up in the Industrial Sector on the planet of Steel Butterfly was a tough but satisfying childhood. The harder you worked, the more you succeeded, and Gerald strived to be the best. However, with his father as his hero, Gerald wanted more than an industrial lifestyle and joined the military against the wishes of his mother.

After having great success pre-civil war, he was moved to the front lines during the Battle of Gest and contributed to the largest Imperial victory in the war and earning himself a promotion to the rank of Major. His unit was also sent back to the capital when the resistance invaded, but he was captured and held prisoner until the war's end.

Looking to redeem himself and establish a reputation within the new government, Major Harper volunteered his unit to escort and assist Special Agent Xavier on his mission. Unknown to him until he left for the journey, he was also put in command of various troops from multiple nations.

...and that brings me to my final main character, the agent who was originally sent to Tappee alone and who the government of Steel Butterfly lost contact with.

http://67.18.37.15/237/117/upload/p662445.png

Name: Jaden Kostonian Gates
Rank: N/A
Unit: Former Phoenix Agent
Current Unit: Classified
Status: Special Agent

Height: 6'3"
Weight: 200 (Athletic, Muscular Build)
Eyes: Black
Hair: Black

Age: 37
Born on: Aeisis
Father: Dr. Jevon Gates
Mother: Dr. Ursula Kostonian Gates
Other Known Family: Eric Gates (Brother)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Born to a Scientist and a Doctor, Jaden grew up quite wealthy. His parents were too busy with their jobs for parenting, and the Gates brothers quickly learned how to fend for and take care of themselves. While brother Eric, who was seven years younger, accelled at athletics, (Eric Gates and Michael Xavier led the OSA to five straight sector titles in three different sports) Jaden breezed through school, skipping two years of it.

A man once thought to be a genius at the Orion Military Academy, Jaden was a semi-talented athlete but a brilliant mind. He majored in Special Operations, Temporal Mechanics, and DERTA, a catch-all major for those wanting a career in Military Intelligence. A companion, team-mate, and idol of Michael Xavier in his final year (Michael's first), Jaden invented a skin-care product for a project that on average makes you look five to eight years younger and he fixed two problems with the Palmer-Class propulsion system, making him somewhat of a legend at the age of 23 which is also the youngest graduation age in the history of the Academy.

Too good for military intelligence, Gates was recruited by Phoenix Intelligence before the Imperial Guard could even talk to him. Quickly Gates earned a reputation of being the best, and quickly it went to his head. For this reason, he was chosen for the Tappee mission even though he was an Imperial-supporter in the war and a former Phoenix agent, an agency tied very closely with NiMBUS, but unaware of the company's corruption.

Gates' apparent failure and/or death in the Tappee mission prompted the new government of the Orion Sector to rethink their strategy. Instead of a single agent, Steel Butterfly, Tappee, and a few other nations sent in a combined task force of militants and specialists.

All right, to consolidate everyone's characters:

Mercendary Soldiers is sending Atticus Blackwell, an alcoholic psychologist ex-soldier suffering from post-traumatic syndrome, accompanied by "CT" Turner, a charming yet creepy wannabe assassin.

From A Few Rich People hail Lon Caberto, an anti-corporate revolutionary who betrayed his cause in order to save his life and loathes himself deeply for it. Perhaps he has come to Tappee in an attempt to escape his inner demons, only to find another evil company worthy of opposing...

Sigma Octavus has contributed the services of botanist Angela Cale, who hopes to find some word of her lost brother, as well as study the local flora. She finds herself under the protection of Paul Oaken, part of the International Task Force but also having sworn an oath to protect Angela from harm.

Of Skepticism, but not exactly from it, comes Dr. Stephen Miles III, a disgruntled, irritable academic searching for a big scoop to catapult himself back into prominence. Dragged with him is the unsuspecting Marshall Ellison, a mere graduate student who doesn't really believe that Mile's fascination with manipulative biology and the paranormal has too much of a grounding in real life.

Steel Butterfly, which may hold some responsiblity for the ominous events of which whispers have reached the others, has an unknowning Major Gerald Harper leading the multinational relief force, and hopes to redeem what he sees as an onerous failure in his past. Working concurrently is the elite Michael Alexandrovich Xavier, who has been hand-picked to lead a team of experts to investigate the disappearance of one Jaden Gates, an intelligence prodigy with subtle ties to the mysterious NiMBUS corporation and the current events in Tappee.

They thought it was over. With NiMBUS destroyed and Dr. Ackerman killed, they hoped that it was finished. With tensions rising between two Empires on the border of the Orion Sector and the new government struggling to maintain a stronghold on the sector, Special Agent Michael Xavier is dispatched to Tappee along side Marine escort after distress calls are heard stemming from a secluded lakeside village. After a mobile underwater lab is discovered, it becomes apparent to Xavier and the other specialists how wrong they were. However, as the agents and soldiers alike enter the lab to try and solve the mystery of the village, an unthinkable horror, codenamed Project Angelos, is unleashed upon them all. Will the mystery of the village and the lab be solved? Or will the hunters become the hunted?

Far Beyond Fear…


All right, if I missed anything or glaringly misread someone, please say so. I just wanted to cut down the thread's sprawl factor.

My characters, not part of the task force, are heading to the village in question because Dr. Miles has heard unsettling, if not entirely trustworthy, accounts of bizarre things happening, and he has made a history of converting bizarre into tenure. Who's characters are part of this task force, who's turn up some other odd way, and who else is involved?

Tappee is also involved.

Steel Butterfly, which may hold some responsiblity for the ominous events of which whispers have reached the others, has an unknowning Major Gerald Harper leading the multinational relief force, and hopes to redeem what he sees as an onerous failure in his past. Working concurrently is the elite Michael Alexandrovich Xavier, who has been hand-picked to lead a team of experts to investigate the disappearance of one Jaden Gates, an intelligence prodigy with subtle ties to the mysterious NiMBUS corporation and the current events in Tappee.

Xavier and Harper are working together to investigate the village and the odd happenings surrounding it. The investigation of the disappearance of Gates, the first man sent to investigate the village, is a secondary objective of Xavier.

Still working on my character bio's they should be up sometime soon.

OOC:

Turner would need to survive this one, as he's a main character for another nation of mine (Drazden). He doesn't have to have a high-profile target or anything like that, he could very well be in-between hits & working as a janitor.

Blackwell, however, can die off. His psychology degree is more of a formality than anything. It's his useage of the GI bill.

OOC: I can also supply some expendable badass extras, or more combat-geared characters, if needed.

I think I may start to bend my rule of 2 characters per person for this aspect. Obviously we need people to die...and die different ways. I'm going to put in some expendable redshirts, so I don't see why others can't either. Make them, by default, as part of Harper's task force.

Note: this doesn't mean that a character not in the task force can't die or that a character in the task force must be an expendable nobody.

...and just so it is known, I've settled on a design for the Stalker...and it's a little different from what I had originally thought of. Still works beautifully...or...horrifically to be more exact. The thing will be badass, don't worry.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Born to into to one of Tappee most respected military Families, she chose to go against her heritage and pursue a life of science over that of military service. Showing exceptional brilliance she was able to obtain a PhD in genetics by the age of 22, and was set to begin a promising career in field research.

However, it would seem that fate would have other plans for her. While traveling she found herself unfortunate enough to be in Tatania during NiMbus’s attack on the city, she was one of only a handful of survivors.

It was due to her experiences in Tatania and her background in genetics that she was chosen to head the Sentinel Program, Tappee Biological Threat response unit. Her work quickly took her to the battlefronts of the Orion War. During the battle for Steel Butterfly she was captured by NiMbus force and was imprisoned on Steel Moon, but was rescued during the when allied forces laid siege to the planet.

Shortly after Orion War she gave birth to a son, who she named Robert after her father. Since then she has thrown her self in work as Director of the Sentinel Program

Despite his training most of his work was done in counter intelligence operations. It was during this time that he established himself as competent commander, and has received a number citation from the tribunal.

Due to his training and service record, when the Sentinel Program was create, he was immediately chosen to be a field commander. He led a number of operations in the Orion War in a hopeless attempt to obtain a sample of the virus that was responsible for the destruction at Tatania.

I have been invited into this, but as always, I am utterly clueless to what this is about, and the backlog of history. If I did join, I would most likely get lost within it because I never know what has gone on before, or what is going on now.

Please, can someone tell me what exactly will be going on, the scene and setting and what has gone on before? I think I will join if I understand what is going on. If any of you have MSN, that would make my life so much more easier. My e-mail address is peacefulwarmonger@hotmail.com so add me so I can get the word on the street from someone in the know. That way, I can ask any questions quickly in a conversation instead of wasting your time in a thread.

Like I have done right now :P

Most likely I would be a writer who has recently come back from a recent journey to various locations for inspirations and information for his work in progress. So I would be a civilian, who is rather confused to what is going on. So it does give me an excuse to have no clue what is going on what so ever, and be alienated. My character would be a recluse mostly, so there would be no problem with other villagers. Plus, it would raise conflict with other characters because he is a bit of an anti-social bastard who cannot get along with other human beings.

Might want to include my characters too...

Hmmm...I don't have MSN. Instead I have AOL IM. If you do not have that, perhaps we can talk about it over telegrams?

I was also invited into this, but like Reformed Velmora, I am a little confused. However, if i am correct, this story has to do with a signup thread that was up a few months ago, to do with some powerful cyborg/robot/creation that was indestructable, and the other players would try and hunt this creature down. Is this true, or am I wrong?

I would like to join, but what character types are needed? I am willing to rp needed ones.

Lol...not quite valient. This is a part of a long story line, created because of a resident evil nostalgia run over a real life year ago. Of course it has expanded way beyond that, and Realm of the Risen II is the sequel to the first survival-horror RP on nationstates, the original Realm of the Risen. A good thing to do is read this thread from page 5 on.

Perhaps I should make a summary of the first RotR, E.C.I.D.T., and the Civil War following. Be warned though, this is an entire year of roleplaying. The summary may be quite long.

Lol, my bad. I just saw some posts that seemed to touch on that shelved thread. A pity. I was looking forward to that.

Still, a recap would be nice, and some info on what persons are needed as well. Thank you.

Well...while I get to writing the long-ish recap, you can get to creating characters. Basically, after reading from page 5 on in this thread, you should get a good idea of my guidelines. Basically, make a character and give him/her a bio and a picture and then if there's a problem I'll tell you about it.

.....I know which thread he's talking about. That was mine. With nemesis. I realized that I was freakishly unprepared for the RP, then I spaced out. I'll try and work on that.....

(Nemesis could have killed every single one of the people being entered within five minutes. Really. I just didn't know how to tone him down for it.)

I should have the recap up sometime this weekend. Check back often so you don't miss it.

OOC: That'll actually work pretty well, as the private military corporation known as Mercenary Soldiers contracts to pretty much anyone. If I do add some cannonfodder, expect them to be soldiers of fortune & to die in inventive, original, or otherwise disturbing fashions.

Shoot me a TG when you kick off this shin-dig, alrighty?

-Merc

I was in the first Realm of the Risen. Is it not too late for me to sign up for the second?

If you haven't realized by now...this is delayed...lol

UPDATE: It will be starting any day now.

Really?

I have to divide my time between this RP, World of Warcraft, Freedom Fighters, GTA:SA, Syphon Filter:Omega Strain and Riddick. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to buy so many games at once. And I've still got games from X-Mas....

I'll stay devoted though, and go through til it ends or dies a horrible death.

My RP's don't die

Anyhow...I got Killzone, GTA: SA, MGS3:SE, Ace Combat 5, Jak 3, 007 Everything or Nothing, and Call of Duty Finest Hour for Christmas

That's what I get I guess for asking for nothing other than dvd's and games

Some modifications to my one character's bio

http://67.18.37.15/237/117/upload/p662817.png

Name: Gabriel Graves
Rank: Commander
Unit: Marines
Current Unit: Classified
Status: Special Agent

Height: 6'1"
Weight: 190 (Athletic, Muscular Build)
Eyes: Dark Brown
Hair: Dark Brown

Real Name: Michael Alexandrovich Xavier
Age: 30
Born on: Esthar VIII
Father: Alexander Xavier (Deceased)
Mother: Nina Xavier (Deceased)
Other Known Family: Alexei Ivanova (Half-Brother, Father's side)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Michael, named by his mother, grew up on Esthar VIII after being orphaned at a young age. Alexander Xavier, his father, was heavily involved in the diamond trade and was killed by terrorists in a heist. His mother Nina, a computer programmer, was brutally raped during a break-in at their house soon after. Young Michael had climbed into a sound-proof room to bang on drums after his mother had scolding him for making noise. Through the one-way window that Nina often looked through when observing those who worked for her, Michael saw his mother tossed around and then discarded as the man smashed her head with a computer. Exiting the room while fighting back tears, 8-year old Michael found the pistol that his mom had purchased to protect herself and shot the two men inside of his house.

Not knowing what to do with an orphan who murdered two criminals that had raped and murdered his mother, the Esthar government sent Michael to a rehabilitation unit where he was in therapy for two years. Whether he needed it or not was never asked. After being pronounced sane and mentally stable from the incident, he was immediately tested for certain skills and then enrolled in the Orion Military Academy-Junior Division, a bording school for orphans. Here, he accelled at sports such as baseball, football, and rifle, and chose to remain at the academy in the Senior Division when he turned eighteen. While Michael was enrolled at the OMA during the same time Alexei, Eric, and Lance were, he never met the three men due to the extensive campus.

Specializing in Special Operations, a major only given to a chosen few, he also triple-majored in Sharpshooting and Covert Tactics. He graduated first in his class at the age of 25, a year ahead of Alexei, Eric, and Lance. Immediately given an offer by both Phoenix Intelligence and the Imperial Guard (both prominent agencies now abandoned), he chose the Guard for its mystique and its job description. While Phoenix agents often integrated into the nation that they were spying on, in tern becoming a citizen and living there for some time, Imperial Guards were ghosts, slipping invisibly into the most secure places in the name of the Emperor. A year later, Alexei Ivanova joined the Guard, giving the two their first formal meeting, although neither knew of their true father.

When the guard disbanded two years after Michael's entrance due to the Orion Civil War, he fought along side General Valkare with the rank of Commander when his home planet of Esthar VIII entered the war. Since the old Empire collapsed, he had been working for an unknown organization that reports directly to Emperor Dave Bivens himself. After no reply is heard from Agent Jaden Gates, Special Agent Michael Xavier is dispatched to Tappee alongside a group of specialists to complete Agent Gates' investigation and try to establish contact with the lost agent.

well I'm holidays until the jan 5. Since I'm at my moms I don't have access to my video game collection.

Good. I already have the first post written up. I want to get a little more written before I open it to everyone...I'm just kinda setting the background right now. It should start *late* tonight or tomorrow, whenever the Civil War is finished.

As always I'll be up late, and check in every once and awhile

Well obviously it didn't start last night...lol..

So Tappee, as I told you, I have two more posts to make in the civil war. Once you get back to me and post if you want to, I'll start this thread.

Here's my fourth character. What? Break the rules? It's my RP...I can break rules if I want to...lol

http://67.18.37.15/237/117/upload/p666121.png

Name: Tess Becken
Rank: N/A
Unit: N/A
Current Unit: N/A
Status: Biology Expert

Height: 5'7"
Weight: 120 (Attractive Build)
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Brown w/ Blond Highlights

Age: 27
Born on: Steel Moon
Father: Dr. Steven Becken (Deceased)
Mother: Keira Becken
Other Known Family: N/A

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Born to a sector-renown Genetic Biologist, Dr. Steven Becken, Tess grew a strong interest in her father's work at a young age. She graduated Monarch University at Steel Butterfly with a degree in Animal Biology but went on to study Genetics like her father did in graduate school.

However, unlike her father, Tess decided that she did not want to remain in a laboratory for most of her life, and chose to become a field biologist for the government. Good with small arms, it is for this reason that she has been chosen for the expedition to Tappee.

Let it also be noted that she previously had a relationship with the MIA, Jaden Gates. She is to be monitored to insure that her personal feelings do not get in the way of her mission. It is to be remembered that she is a civilian.

Behold, for the time comes! The picture above will take you to the RP. Go ahead...click it...you know you wanna.

I'll find some pictures so that I can have those avatar thingies. Makes it easy for people to figure out who's doing what.

Keep their size similar to mine and tappee's. In the past I've had people use enormous ones.

I'll try to get my bio up and get involved in the RP very soon. TG me tomorrow as a reminder because I know I'll forget.

I'll be on the scene soon. Gonna let things get rolling a bit before I jump in since my characters would be no more than civilians and whatnot. New Genoa has few ties to SB.

fine

Ok NG...I'll give you the same treatment as the others. Why would a bunch of gay stoners and school-dropouts be traveling to a semi-secret city? Come up with something creative.

I'll bring back Paul Christianson with a twist. I'm trying to think how to twist it, though, which'll need some coordination with Steel Butterfly, the RP head.

...

Well, after some thinking on this post, I think that it's best if Christianson gets into the city for some secret reason. He either comes in disguise and reveals himself after some significant point or sneaks in there. He could come with or without others (if he comes with others, the others'll probably die quickly). I'm just stuck right now. I can't come up with a reason (perhaps you can and get it incorporated into something more major) and I have two choices to make. Steel Butterfly, maybe you could help me so I can get involved soon.

Still need to give him an updated bio

Where was the original bio located? I don't want to give any contradictory information.

Fine. Good way to compensate for the missing bio:

Age: 40?

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Paul Christianson was a construction worker in Nanakaland at one time. When he became unemployed he moved away to another place to become a construction worker. That place was the place attacked by the zombies in RotR.

Christianson survived that incident, but soon after he left Steel Butterfly he was kidnapped by someone unknown for knowing too much. A memory inhibitor was surgically placed in his brain. [The inhibitor will be damaged sometime during the RP to have his memories flooding back.] He was dropped off in the semi-secret city with no prior knowledge of anything...

Fine. Good way to compensate for the missing bio:

Wouldn't Emily reconize him though?

Wouldn't Emily reconize him though?

Yes, but by then the memory inhibitor will be damaged and memories will be flushing back. This is just to explain the missing background info and how he gets there.

[EDIT: And Steel Butterfly, you can come up with who kindnapped him and implanted the chip. It's your RP.]

[EDIT: And Steel Butterfly, you can come up with who kindnapped him and implanted the chip. It's your RP.]

It could easily be NiMBUS, the now defunct Biotechnologies Corporation that started all of this. It's not impossible to think that they caught up with some of the survivors other than Emily, Alexei, Henry, and Eric from a different RP...and I doubt that if they found Paul they'd want him remembering what happened. Also, the fact that they didn't kill him means alot too, if you've read my civil war. I'm going to send you a telegram about a possibility for your character.

I noticed that we both have AIM. Perhaps it'd be easier to work out the details over there?

[EDIT: Too late. Offline... :( ]

I don't have access to it for this weekend though, since I'm operating on a different computer than normal.

I think that the NiMbus idea is a rather good idea. As for the Pairing idea I'm not sure how to pair up my characters, having three no matter how its done I'm going to have to pair up with another persons character.

This is what I'm thinking

Emily/Augustine
Jocelyn/?

But also on the otherhand

Emily/ Major Harper (As Steel is probably the most familiar with Emily's character and it would be interesting)

Then either

Augustine/ Jocelyn

or

Augustine/?
Jocelyn/?

just to mix it up a bit

Well I already paired two of mine up and left the third one open, but since you brought it up Tappee, it would make sense to have the taskforce leader and the director of the sentinel project team up. If they're going to be working with each other (thinking like the characters here) they might as well just be beside each other as partners.

alright then then, so all thats left is to either pair up my remaing character or pair them with another persons characters.

For the time bieng I'll them them open to be paired with anither persons character

We need to get this "pairing" done soon, or else I'll just assume it happened and move on. Also, I'm going to get a list of who hasn't posted in the RP yet after signing up. Those people might get kicked out if they don't post before we leave for Procul. I've given more than enough time, more time than I wanted to. If a simple intro post takes too much time or effort for you, this might not be a good RP for you to partake in.

(Just as a note, "you" doesn't refer to any specific person)

The people who have posted so far are as follows (in order):

Steel Butterfly (4)
Sigma Octavus (1)
Tappee (1)
Mercenary Soldiers (1)
Nanakaland (1)

The people who have yet to post but still registered are:

Skepticism
A Few Rich People
New Genoa
Drazden

After a few more days, these four people will be telegrammed asking them one last time to post in the thread. Next Friday or Saturday the characters will land at Procul, and the RP will be closed. After that, no one else may post barring special conditions (if they're on vacation or can't log in or something of the sort, etc.)

Characters

Kurt Caesar (Age - 37)
Bio: Born in the dingy ghetto of the poorest districts of the poorest city in New Genoa, Blue City, Kurt joined the New Genoese Regular Army at age 18 and attended the university provided by the military. After graduating four years later, Kurt remained in the army for four more years until he was recommended by his commanding officer to New Genoa's regiment of special forces, the Special Marines. The training was long and arduous and the admission process itself lasted well over a year. Kurt persevered through these challenges and at the age of 27, became a Special Marine in the SM-A sector. After spending ten eventful years in the Special Marines, Kurt retired to a life as a drill sergeant, with the option of being called up by the SM-A in times of dire emergency...

Chad Flark (Age - 27)
Bio: Another Blue City kid from the poor district, Chad joined the Army at 18 as well. After five years of service, he was also recommended by his superiors to the Special Marines program. He too managed to gain admission to New Genoa's military specialists, an SM-A trooper as well. He is still a Special Marine to this day and has been for about one year.

There we go...lol...now get to posting.

I don't have any pics atm, but I posted. Not great, but Im a bit in the dark atm.

Not great, but Im a bit in the dark atm.

Well here's the place to ask questions

1. Where the hell is Tappee? (earth, another planet?)
2. Will there be a briefing of the entire multi-national force? Or is that just going to be "assumed"?

Unlike the Orignal RotR which to place in a Tappee city known as Tatania, Procul is not part of Tappee but is a instead a remote colony. Yes it is on another planet, that why we are meeting at a Spaceport. It has a small population compared to the other Mega cities that exsist within the Dominion of Tappee.

Located in a remote system Procul is the close Tappee asset to the Orion System. Orignally intended to be a mining Colony, it has a rather low popluation density with a majority of the population residing in the capital city of Procul. Due to the war against the former Imperial force of Steel butterfly the Procul colony has been all but forgotten. Minning on the planet has all but stopped, almost destroying the local economy. With the mines closed down a large portion of the population moved away, but some decide to call this place home. With the lack of goverment presence in Procul it has become a haven for illegal activites.

orginally Procul was a lush green planet similiar to that of earth. However, the beauty has been destroyed as a result of years of strip minning, only a few pockets of it orginal landscape remain. Beacause of the minning of the planet there is an extensive network of mines, tunnel, and cavrens which Procul acts as the central hub.

Paul Brown doesn't need to partner up, right? Since he's alone and with the memory inhibitor in his head and all...

I'll probably just have my characters stick together.

Paul Brown doesn't need to partner up, right? Since he's alone and with the memory inhibitor in his head and all...

Yeah...the few characters not part of the taskforce (there may be one other than nanak's...I'll have to check...) don't have to partner up.

Now for the questions:

1) Tappee's got it. For everyone's info...Tappee knows what he's talking about, minus the plot that I sometimes keep hidden from him...lol. He's my right hand man in RotR.

2) It will be assumed. Actually it already has been in the meeting everyone's in. Those arriving late (post people) will be handed a padd with the description on it. So far all we've got is backstory and intro posts. It hasn't even really started yet...something we need to get to. As soon as everyone posts I'll jot down the landing at Procul, hopefully setting the tone of the RP.

It's going to be a bit different than the last RotR...meaning a little more original. The last one was made cause I was feeling nostalgic about Resident Evil and had the hordes of zombies being shelled down by endless gunfire in a shattered city. This one will be a bit more darker and a bit more psychological at first, for our characters will actually see the descent of the people of Procul. It's going to be a much better storyline, using Drama, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Action like I try to in all my RP's.

Any other questions?

If Paul is there, why isn't he zombified like the rest? Is it the memory inhibitor, what NiMBUS did, or something else?

If Paul is there, why isn't he zombified like the rest? Is it the memory inhibitor, what NiMBUS did, or something else?

Ok, first of all the facility at Procul is a side-project by a doctor who I won't name yet because it'll give stuff away. It was not part of Dr. Ackerman and NiMBUS's direct plan, but it was still part of their “grand scheme.”

There are different strands of the Q-virus, a topic that I’ll get into soon so that everyone will see. The one at Procul is different than that one at Tatania (spelling?), where the first RotR took place. The people at Procul, infected or not (I’m not giving anything away), are going to slowly change their state of mind. (I’m also not saying that they will be zombies or whatever.) It will not be instantaneous. There will be a visible mental falling out over time.

Therefore:

1. Paul could have just arrived at the scene by chance. NiMBUS has been destroyed for a little over a year, so he would have had to be “caught” by them a good while ago. There is a three-year span between the two RotR’s. If he arrived at the scene by chance, then they could have been “infected” prior to his arrival.
2. Paul could in fact be infected just as those in Procul are. It would be interesting, him dealing with slowly losing his mind as his memories slowly return. Tragic indeed…especially if there is in fact no cure. (Once again…no comment.)

How long after a zombie bite will one become a zombie?

Probably the first option. Maybe the second one. Perhaps the memory inhibitor is starting to wear away and that is why he suddenly became "aware" after arriving?

How long after a zombie bite will one become a zombie?

In the original Realm of the Risen, the amount of time it took was dependant upon the severity of the infection and the body mass index of the victim as well as the victim's immune system. The Q-virus basically killed you, but lived through your body in your brain after you had died...reanimation. It took a matter of a few hours for the virus to kill you as your veins burst and you bled from your organs, and then a few more hours for it to bring you back to live. 4-6 total.

However, the encounter at Procul will be of a different sort. Since this is no big secret, when we get to the town, there will be people there talking and stuff but they seem a little odd. As the storyline progresses, the people begin to change, degrading slowly throughout the "adventure." This "infection" will also be of a different sort, coming from a different strain.

OOC: Do anyone's character's need a battle buddy? Turner's a bit more social, so I'd suggest pairing up with him. If not, I'll pair Blackwell with him for some wisecracking hilarity. Your call.

Made the landing as planned. We are now in Procul.

Nanakaland, I realized something about your character as well. He isn't at Procul, he's at the spaceport. Therefore he doesn't really need a reason for being there - they're like airports. He could have been traveling or something. Also, since I assume that you'd want him to be in Procul, I brought him along in my post and confronted him. It's up to you to decide how he got there though. Did he sneak aboard to talk to Emily some more since she knows about his past but their conversation was cut short? Did Emily bring him along? Up to you all.

Might not make any posts [but I may, just not during the week] because I have midterms this week. I assume my characters were aboard the same dropship?

Yeah. She's the only one, other than Emperor Bivens of course, that knows what NiMBUS is really about. Alexei, just as a side note, might show up for the ending though. I haven't decided yet.

It would be interesting if Alexei came in to save Emily, specially since Henry asked him to look out for Emily before he died. ;)

OOC: Sure, which do you want? I'll post a meeting scenario at the colony.

As a side note, I'm glad to see someone has picked up the 6.8mm round. I'm interested to see how it fares in an assault weapon, though. So far the US Military has only deployed a semi-automatic sniper weapon, but the results look very promising: 7 torso shots, 7 tangos with serious heart problems.

Do we need to post weapon specs for unfamiliar stuff?

In response to 6.8mm ammo: this is a rifle developed quite a while ago privately by Imitora for me... honestly, I havent used it ever in combat and Im a weapons illiterate basically. Anyway here are the specs on it, posted from the private thread on my alliance's forum

Both rifles can mount any standard 20mm rail device.

Model One:
Length: 800mm full stock extension, 753mm stock collapsed
Weight: 2.8kg with 45 round 6.8mm magazine
Max Effective Range: 550m

and here's a little pic of it...

Something needs to happen to the memory inhibitor (whether it is removed or damaged). Somehow, it needs to happen that his memory starts slowly returning. He's no use to the group until his memories come back. And it needs to be worked out here so it can be incorperated into the plot.

"Lets go," Gabriel commanded as the dropship touched down, pulling one pistol out from its holster under his arm and engaging its laser sight. He left the other holstered half way down his thigh as he opened the door and lept to the ground.

If anyone realized, this is a tribute of sorts to Alexei in the first RotR. Page three I think. If you have some free time, just stop and look at the difference in quality of writing. That RP was still great...so with the writing we have now...this one promises to be simply amazing.

Do we need to post weapon specs for unfamiliar stuff?

I'm not a big techy by any means, and I'm actually a future tech nation, so techs for things like the PHAR would simply be made up anyhow. If you want to post stats, go ahead, but work them into the character's conversation or the narrator's description of them somehow. Don't just post 'em to post 'em.

It's the afternoon right now, and I promise you something big will happen as night falls. Perhaps then Paul could be slapped around a bit or something, disabling the memory inhibitor. Lol...or perhaps he could have a badass moment and cut it out of himself with a knife or something...haha.

Nanak, my characters could knock it out for ya. YOu've already gotten the surface characterization of them.

Yeah, they seem like they'll be fun to have around...lol.

Just as a note to everyone else as well. As soon as Emily replies to Gabriel as to why she brought Paul along, the people will split up to search the outter village that they're in. They will find clues and return to the town square and report them.

Possible clues found:

-Technology randomly scattered around (or used for things other than it's purpose, like a computer part used as a paperweight or something)

-Things like books torn up or collecting dust

-Fith, grime, or other dirt in places like the bathrooms and beds and stuff

-Dead animals...or even a person...just laying somewhere unburied. If it's an animal, perhaps half eaten.

-Anything else that would signal a lack of civilization. That'd be perfect.

No, we're not going to follow along with the horror cliche and have the people get attacked when they're seperated. No the people will not find monsters or whatever in their journeys. Any questions?

Who will Paul be with?

Who will Paul be with?

Depending on Emily's answer, Gabriel will either tell Paul that he will have to earn his trust but meanwhile stick with Emily and Major Harper, or he'll give him a small sidearm (not knowing of the briefcase) and assign him to an already established group such as New Genoa's so that they can watch over him.

On another note, Nanak, if you want to talk more about paul I'll be on AOL AIM for about 30-45 mins with my NS name SorionB.

So should I just kinda meander over to the city some way looking for work or what not?

Well AFRP, Procul would definately be a good place for some one who's against corporations to go it seems, due to it's criminal element. Perhaps your character could crash land outside the city or something...lol...or perhaps he could be found by one of the teams as they split up to look for clues.

I got a concept forming, just gonna edit delete first post (was really more of a "still interested" thing anyways) since he was shipped off in a none too spectacular ship on some black market trade route a little crash makes sense, and allows me to flesh out things a bit, will write once I get good computer back from sis in a few min.

OOC: 45 round mag? Must be caseless or something... The sniper weapon is fed from a 25 round magazine.

I believe it may be caseless, don't remember exactly. What does caseless do? Might want to incorporate that into the RP if the guns open fire..

It'll probably be falling debris that hits him on the head and disables the memory inhibitor. I just need to incorperate it into the plot somehow.

Alright...we're at this point in the RP now. Find something out there, and be purposely vague about it. Don't be leaping to conclusions that wouldn't be normal. If you find grime, think it's been abandoned. If you find someone dead, treat it as a murder and perhaps come rushing back to the square. Communications are still good within Procul, just not going out of it.

It could be as simple as something randomly falling on him during the search for clues...

It was good character development so I wouldn't get rid of it.

Okay, this is really important and will lessen confusion in the future. I've now noticed that my character Paul Oaken is named that. Paul. Two Paul's equal confusion.

So here's how I see that I fix this. Angela will refer to him as Paul. All others on our little journey just call him Oaken. That will make things easier. Maybe.

Also, sometime Angela will bring up her last name and it would probably hit a few memories with the people here from the first RP. That will be a bit later. Her brother Mason was in that ordeal with Paul and Emily, after all.

Just a note (I like to clarify things, that was obvious in the first one :rolleyes: ) that my ship crashed about half a day before you made land fall and my character basically just regained consiousness as you touched done, so no one jump because you "hear" the crash, it allready happened.

Quick question, is power still in the city? If not how long it off (too long and I will have to edit my post)?

PS: I am now just more or less waiting to be found by anyone. Just don't be trigger-happy ( :mp5: ) and shoot me ;).

Sounds good

Hmm...power. Yeah...I guess it's on currently. There has been no real disaster that would turn it off like in the first RotR. Electricity still works.

Also, I'm sure someone will find you. I can't though, for my characters will be finding someone else. Lol...just what Gabriel wants...two more people added to the task force.

Aye, he seems to be that type that would enjoy that. [/sarcasm]

First off, Tappee, just to make sure, it's Jaden who thinks that way about your nation, not me...lol.

Also, Nanak, you aren't around Gabriel and Tess. The individual groups are split up. The only way Paul could know of Jaden's presense at all is if Major Harper or Emily Williams (the people he's with) talk to him about it or he overhears their conversation....and that could only happen after my post that I posted after your's. Not trying to be an asshole, just trying to have everything make sense.

Lol...lastly...I want to thank A Few Rich People for his one-line post...haha

Alright guys...here's the upcoming game plan. For those of you who haven't made your "searching" post yet, do so. Then, recieve Gabriel's call over the comm and make your way towards Jaden's safehouse. Those things can be all in one post if you want to save time. Make sure to take into account that it's raining.

Once at the safehouse, we'll have some chit chat regarding findings, Jaden, and whatever else that we were supposed to have talked about in the town square. Then we go to sleep or whatever. (I guess if your character doesn't want to sleep, he or she doesn't have to...)

Tomorrow is when the fun begins. Gabriel will be heading off to the lake. Who ever wants to go with him can go. Major Harper, as I'll post eventually, will instead be going deeper into the city along with the commandos he brought along.

So either go investigate the lake with Gabriel, or leave the outside village and continue investigating the actual city with Harper. Harper's city trek will probably be a little more action-packed, and Gabriel's will probably have a little more tense drama about the lake and other mystery stuff. So action or plot-thickening. Your choice. Just start thinking about it.

assume my characters are there when the debrief starts

I normally do unless stated otherwise, however I'd much rather have you post that they're there if you can.

*sigh* do I need to bump into someone or what? Don't care who just someone drag my sleeping arse up and out.

Oh, I will, but after you guys talk - we'll present our findings and make statements who wants to go with whom and such

Sorry, SB. Do you want me to delete/edit my post?

Nah it's a good post, just some conflicting information as to the whereabouts of certain characters. An edit would be fine. No reason for deletion.

too late for me to join right?

Why do I alwyas arrive late for good rp's?

Yeah...it is...

Maybe you angered the RP gods?

Well looks like I already "stretched" one of my own rules with my latest post. As Tappee could surely tell you, I do that on occasion. Then again, none of our characters were really "attacked" so...hence "stretched" and not "broke."

It'll lead to good discussion. The plot runs the story...not the rules.

Alright. It's choice time. Make a post about it.

For some reason, I feel like I should've sent more than a grand total of two commandos... I feel... insignificant :(

*sigh* what yall think should I just walk up and walk into someone cause waiting annoying...

Show up as we're heading out? Or arrive just a little before, explain, and [do something of your choice]?

so, anyway, yeah, my characters are split up and I really don't want them to be split for a long time. this is just really a chance to build up characterization of both characters... alone. so yeah, that's all I had to say, so that you could provide some leeway for them to team up again in a couple pages.

perhaps you should have a run in with Harper's team early on in his expedition

I hadn't thought that much about how long the two mini-teams would be apart. The people at the lake have to discover something big. The people in the inner-city have to deal with something big. They'll probably come back to the safehouse after that, with a lot of questions to ask and things to think about.

A couple pages sounds reasonable...but I don't want to breeze through a pretty significant part of the plot just so you can get your characters back together. Perhaps you could give some insight into your characters' pasts when you post as them being apart.

Well, Im not saying to directly change posts, I'm just saying that, depending on how long they're on their respective missions, that leeway could be provided (such as sending out someone to contact the other team or somethin). But if they're gonna go back to the safehouse soonafter, then that seems time enough. I didn't know how much time this portion would engulf.

We’ll just play it by ear. Perhaps Harper could send Flark back to the lake to call for backup or something.

Ok then, if you're with Harper, your character has a decision to make somewhere in your next post. They have to help Harper decide by either wanting to continue searching for Blackwell or follow Jaden and get into the whole mysterious people thing a little more. Either way, the shit's gonna hit the fan soon enough, and the action will pick up.

Also, for the people with Gabriel, you can dive in with him if you want or just stay on the shore with Tess. He's going to find something in the next post involving him, so either you're there to witness it or hear about it when they come back.

Nanakaland and New Genoa should get to posting too...lol

Been lazy lately. I was going to make a dream post (then there'd be 3 in a row!), but never got around to it. But I'll try to chip in two posts today (one for Flark and one for Kurt).

I should have gone with the crowd and done a dream post. Oh well. Missed my chance...

I can't do anything really until the memory inhibitor is destroyed, damaged, or removed. Then I'd have very long posts and lots of material. Any suggestions?

you can do what I'm going to do and have your character try to remember their dream from the night or something. don't know how the memory inhibitor will work out with that but still.

While we're at it, we might as well find a way to tie all these "dream posts" together.

I know that mine have a very specific tie to the storyline, and I know that Tappee's are flashbacks, but how about the rest of you?

my dream sequence with Kurt has to do something with his past that's bugging the hell out of him and could be contributing to his edgy, asshole attitude.

Emily's dream squence was orginally to provide insight to the reasons behind Emily's drug problem.

However, it could easily be taken much further, as the dreams are becoming more intense, or change somewhat. These changes/Dream could be for a number of reasons, perhaps some outside unkown factor ;) .

Personally I a big fan of the whole 'plots within plot' idea with any RP.

But I'll try to chip in two posts today (one for Flark and one for Kurt).

*snickers*

It's good to see that there's someone besides me in this RP who doesn't follow through on their promises...lol. Great minds think alike...the same thing can be said for their actions I'm sure. ;)

yes, I forgot to.

post 1 in, shitty, but got the job done I suppose.

post 2 coming hopefully, hopefully longer and better written (since this post would be more important than the other one)

now if only we can unearth Tappee...lol

jk though...he's real busy.

Alright, time for another gameplan type-thing.

For the people with Gabriel, it's pretty much discussion time. This is unfortunately the less exciting path, for now at least, but the people there should question Gabriel about his findings or whatever. Ultimately, their conclusion is to head back to the safehouse. They can not hear transmissions from the other group.

For the people with Harper, it's murderous villager-ass kicking time. Get a few good posts in with your characters either getting attacked, attacking, or fleeing from the onslaught of villagers in the city square. Ultimately, they will fight their way out and return to the safehouse. Be creative in your posts. Some people may get injured, others may cower in fear instead of fight, some may go all rambo on the villagers, etc.

Great timing I have heh. Meeting the party just before they come under assault, and me sitting outside a window with no weapons.

Yes, yes, yes! Asskicking time!
