Balrogga
24-09-2007, 02:32
This Rp is based on events that happened at the end of the Phantom Invasion Thread. The Balrogga Empire was affected and their worlds went silent, ships that entered them either disappeared or they returned with their crews driven mad. The merchant fleets refused to set foot in the systems and the ITH took steps to prevent their customers from loosing further crew, resources, and profits be locking down the ITH network going to the affected worlds.
The RP will be a horror-survival where each player will bring in some cannon fodder and have the ghosts there feed off them in a number of gruesome deaths. The entire thing will be controlled by the players who join, including any such attacks I set on them. The desire is to have something akin to Silent Hill mixed with Cthuhlu Mythos and given a huge shot of adrenalin.
I am looking for players who are interested in running a team or two of their own investigators that are destined to doom and failure, in the homage to all Cthuhlu fiction. You can team up with other players or just take your own world. It is up to you. I will try to take a minimal hand in the RP and let you fly loose with your imagination. After the end of the RP, I think the players that participated should be able to vote who was the best. In the event of a tie vote, I will cast mine, otherwise it will be entirely up to you.
ICly you would not know the worlds were stripped by rampaging Kythons of all my tech and the only thing living on them are lush jungles filled with non-sentient animals. Anything sentient has and will be tracked down and devoured mind and soul by the millions of soulless Childer ghosts left in those systems. There are literally millions of them in each and that is why the survival rate will be so low.
The whole goal is to find out what happened and there might be clues on single worlds or spread across several. You might have to participate with other teams to discover clues or even compete with them. You might end up sharing your discoveries to shooting each other. The ghosts might possess a team member and use them to harvest more food. The ways you decide are up to you.
This is open to any who are great RPers, I am not limiting it to only allies. You can be friend or foe or even a stranger. It doesn’t matter, just crafting an interesting RP does.
If you are interested, you can sign up below.
Here are the systems I controlled and abandoned. You can pick your own or team up with others. Some are primary, secondary, and tercery worlds, meaning the number of spirits on each depends upon the status of the world before the Night of Rage. The Balrogga Empire was scatter across the Milky Way and into a couple others. The systems were interconnected by the ITH Wormhole network so each was a ten minute hop away from another. Anyone you pick could be near you for this RP. As people pick the systemt hey wish to investigate I will note it in the list so we can all keep track of who is where.

Now the information you will need on the Ghosts.
They are the dead Childer from the Night of Rage. You will hopefully discover what that means ICly through the RO>
Their powers as ghosts are:
Creation of realistic illusions - they can be recorded and felt since they are more like holograms and backed up with telekinetics
Use of Telekinetic abilities - to move objects and people
Possession - take control of your charactors
Anything else is up to you based on what you need for your story. They were powerful Psions in life and could transfer any of the powers to death when they were slain. Your imagination is the limit here.
