Would anyone like to see this?
Good Evening, or whatever time it is where you are. I have this idea for a game which was originally for a novel involving two characters but that doesn't matter now. It's a mix of real life/fantasy and scifi.
I don't even know how to explain it without it getting confusing lol Right. First off, it's around 2100 and things have evolved in the world but it's not as futuristic as it could be. There are futuristic humanoid robots who serve, protect and play many roles in people's lives. They are expensive, of course and yes, they could be played. People would be welcome to give them emotions and 'awakenings.' There's also other options that may come later, that might be surprising and screw up what they thought of their android character, but only if it's wanted.
Secondly, people with evolved DNA have been happening in the past two years. 'Mutants' are far and few between as of right now. Mutations/powers vary from person to person. Sometimes, they're born with them, some don't hit until puberty or a moment of intense emotion. Many people, of all races, are anti-mutant and while like always in past history, there are those who feel it's just another reason to co-exist together. I'm willing to allow a lot of superpowers. Superhero type things wouldn't be allowed for a little while, especially with it being so new.
There are talks of those with evolved DNA being taken in for testing forcefully, meaning their rights will be taken away regardless if it's wanted. Labs with camps are being set up, since 10 percent of the population is mutant. At least that is known. Another thing in the works is the abolishment of religion. There have been many religious wars over the past so many years, worse so than before and now religion is beginning to fall. Some countries have actually been wiped off the map because of it. Many are willing to say goodbye to their gods, and it's been rumored that anyone who continues to practice their spirituality will be executed or imprisoned. I think while we don't often see religious aspects in our games, it'd be interesting for characters with different beliefs to be tested and hide their worship. Not to mention, how they would feel for being different if they were a mutant and it isn't mentioned in their holy books.
Besides mutation and androids being a thing, about fifty years ago some genius scientists managed to create these gems that harness dimensional power. They've been taken to different corners of the Earth and locked away. It's been rumored that actual magic is involved but it's probably just technology stretched beyond it's limits. These falling into the wrong hands would be destructive to the universe at large. I do have a villain or a set of villains I'm working on for this part, which is why superheroes would come into play later, and continue after such plot.
There could be five cities, four small, and one rather large. The large being the core and the rest surrounding it. Plot reasons would come from this. There will be some scifi technology in these cities, but it's still rather modern like today's world, so we don't stray far from the scene. I say real life aspects, because while there's a big plot here, people are welcome to choose whichever they want to get involved with or all of them without obligation. So, if someone basically wants to simply have coffee or ice skating threads with friends or beaus, be my guest but it would be nice for people to get involved with plot. There's a lot of room for everything.
Basically, it's such a big plot and I'm figuring out how to make it work. There's a lot of other ideas floating around, and I think it could make for a very interesting roleplay. I just want to know if anyone would be interested. I'm capable of running it on my own, but if anyone wants to help... kudos to that.
I'll be moving soon, but I'll be working on it while I'm gone. So, the game might not be open for at least six-eight weeks. I plan on attempting to open it after I'm sure it's ready, even if no one says anything here at this post.
