The armageddon scenario (concept proposal/signup)
Posted: Tue Dec 16, 2008 10:17 amHey all, I have been having this idea for a highly experimental RP.
The main difference to other RPs it would have is that it would be split into several different 'chapters' each of which is moderated by a different person who will put their own spin on it. This mod will not have a main character in the chapter but said absent character will have once existed. At the start a bone storyline will be set down, only going as far a a few set events that must happen and the story will work around(most of these events shall be revealed in the first chapter, and any that are not I shall relay to each new mod). On top of that each RP will take place over the same space of time with the same character group but it should conclude differently each time. In essence it is much like how Higurashi no Naku Koro ni works.....and will probably be just as dark given the ideas going through my head right now.
The background story is that 10 years prior there was a war, between man and what could be called Angels. They named themselves the judges of this world, decided who could live and who would be killed. When mankind struck back they decimated a large chunk of the planet, completely evaporating America, Asia and a large section of Northern Africa and Southern Europe. After doing this, the angels simply vanished without a trace, leaving the broken remnants of mankind to rebuild in fear.
At the start of the RP the mod's character, along with thousands worldwide (oddly enough, one person from each town, city or village) will disappear with only a pair of feathers left behind; one white, one black. While most people do not know this, this is a sign of the final trial of mankind, with their own kin acting as judge. After about a day, a sign of how long is left shall appear; either a horrific construct counting down the seconds until the world's end, or a divine timer to the end of suffering (it is up to you...but be prepared for something stomach turning if it is the former that happens)
Our story takes place in a small sea-side town in the north-east of England. Miles from anywhere else, the judgement of its populace has come about, and the events that unfold around them could either turn into a dream, or a nightmare. for in this time, mortal man shall become god, and decide the fate of those around him, to whatever end....
Yes, I know it is morbid and I have no idea if I will actually work out how to make it work, however I have put it here to see what sort of interest there would be (and to make sure I don't forget about it).
So, fire away. I am currently supposed to be working so I will make a character in a bit.
