So, since I've got a bit of free time, I'm going to be starting a small RP based around the extremely fun, obscure indie game known as Scourge: Hive, released by orbital games.
Intro:
Planet Inos. Once the dedicated home of research of the Scurge parasite.
Now, it is the dedicated home of the Scurge parasite.
We thought we could control it. at first it seemed like containment systems would be enough. Multiple personal were overtaken by the Scurge parasite. We cleared them out. We got smarter, but did the parasite.
We began using security bots to contain the parasite and round up stray specimens from the planet's surface. As it turned out, the virus could infect the bots to. It could even infect our guns and suits rendering them useless.
It could even infect the mysterious energy beings. With a lot of luck, we made weapons and gear that couldn't be taken over by the Scurge.
That was before it got ahold for the Yggdrasil unit. Before someone shut the power down.
Now, most of us are down here in the dark. There is no help coming. We can't even contact the federation.
There might be a chance if we can get the power back on. There is little hope of that.
A little run down of how things work:
All players start with a basic projectile gauntlet and Anti-Scurge suit. Your Gauntlet weapon can fire plasma bolts, which is somewhat effective against any type of enemy. There will be expansions for your equipment that you may find, you may only hold 6 Expansions for your gauntlet and 4 for your suit at any one time.
You cannot be infected by conventional means, however, if you come into contact with scourge infected biomass for too long, or your suit takes too much damage, you will succumb to the parasite.
Enemies:
Biological Specimens: The most numerous of the Scurge hosts. They are often small and fragile, but have a higher rate of damage than most. If they are hit by a energy dissipation weapon, there muscle mass will condense, increasing their attacks. Alternately, they take extreme amounts of damage from fire.
Mechanized Task Force: Once, these machines helped contain the Scurge, and assisted in various industrial tasks, but the Scurge overtook them as well. They possess armor made of advanced alloys, and pose a great threat due to their durability and resistance to most attacks, many of them also use ranged weapons. This Technological superiority slows them down. Attacking them with fire will only harden their armor. Any sort of electrical attacks will easily damage their sensitive electronics.
Energy Beings: Mysterious and unpredictable, little is known about the energy beings of Inos. Despite having no mass, the Scurge parasite can overtake these beings. Energy beings boast a hellish speed and and often have an array deadly special abilities, such as teleportation and energy siphoning. Despite that, they often lack sheer strength. Energy dissipate will cause any energy being to break apart. Inversely, electricity will charge an energy being, allowing it to move much faster.
Areas:
Bio-Core Complex: The central station on Inos. The Bio-Core Complex contains many of the controls, specimens, and tech on the planet. Contains even mixtures of mechanical, biological, and energy hosts.
STATUS: OPEN
Ransol Industrial Complex: The power house of Inos. All manufacturing, water purifying, and power production happens here. Contains high level of mechanical hosts.
STATUS: CLOSED (Must turn emergency power on)
Deadscape Wasteland: A arid desert area with little water. A large research center is set here to study the organisms that have adapted to survive in this harsh enviroment. You'll find high-levels of biological hosts here.
STATUS: CLOSED (Must turn on the main power supply)
The Mines: A massive underground area that extracts all of the material needed to run the various facilities on the planet. You'll find a high level of energy beings here.
STATUS: CLOSED (Must gain security clearance)
Forest Laboratory: A huge steaming jungle teaming with life. Dozens of specimens come from. Thus area also has some of the most dangerous specimens. Plants in this area produce high levels of carbon dioxide. You need to filter it out before you can enter. There are massive numbers of deadly biological specimens here.
STATUS: CLOSED (Must turn filtration systems on, or gain a suit expansion to filter out poisons.)
Character Application:
Name:
Occupation: (Will affect skills)
Special Skills: (No more than three)
Personality:
Biography: (Give us some detail on your characters background)
