Resistance Fall of Man RP?

So, many of you may not know what Resistance is about. That's perfectly fine, that's why I'm here to help explain this world and and how it can be in an rp.

Okay, there is this race of beings known as Chimera. They were on Earth 60million years ago (apologies to any creationists), left, and have now decided to come back. This originated with the Tunguska Event, in 1908. If you don't know what that is, go look it up. Anyway, the Chimera spread throughout Russia, cutting off all means of communication with the outside world. They convert humans, infecting them with the aptly named "Chimeran virus", which in turn turns them into various Chimeran creatures. What creature they become depends on the strain, with the larger ones requiring longer conversion time and multiple humans. In 1949, (World War 2 never having happened) the Chimera promptly broke through the Red Curtain (physical version of the Iron Curtain) and into Europe. They wiped out entire towns and cities overnight. They were stalled at Britain, unable to cross the oceans and the skies being heavily guarded, until the dug under the channel and burst forth onto the mainland. It lasted months, and eventually the Chimera won Britain. All the armed forces were scattered to various isolated military bases.

On July 11, 1951, the United States of America sent reinforcements to Britain, tanks and men and supplies being shipped over in exchange for a super-weapon the British had created that the Americans could not. Over the course of four days, the the super-weapon was destroyed, but the Chimera were destroyed, their leadership system of multiple psychic commanders. This, in turn, lead to a liberation of Western Europe. However, this also lead to a new leadership, a creature called Daedalus, taking over the sole commands for the Chimeran army.

Under this new leadership, Africa, Canada, and South America were invaded and taken over. Airships were built in this intervening time, and sent into the United States, overpowering the defenses and wiping away the military within a month. Soon after, all of America was taken over.

Right after this is when I'm planning on having the RP take place, but this is completely debatable to have it anywhere within the Resistance timeline. So, the time would be about...1953-55 or something similar to that.


As for weaponry, this link will give a list of every single weapon in the game. http://resistance.wikia.com/wiki/Weapons In this link, the weapons being used would be about...resistance 2 or 3. A mixture of those, or perhaps we simply use all of them? I'll leave that up to discussion.

All of them have two functions, such as a grenade launcher, or a slow motion feature. These are all built into the weapons, and none of them are just in for gameplay purposes. As in, the player just magically can slow time when using this weapon.

Here's an example:

Bullseye rifle (Chimeran main battle rifle):
Primary fire: energy bullets which deal high damage, but travel slowly and have naturally high bullet spread from the barrel
Secondary fire: a dart is fired that attracts all bullets fired from the rifle that shot the dart, if it hits a living creature. After a short travel distance, the bullets will change direction and head directly for the dart. Unless something physical is in the way, the bullets will not miss. If the dart launch button is held down for a second or two after the dart hits a non living organism, or inanimate object, it will turn into a trap. The bullets fired will orbit in an area above the dart, and can then be sent at an enemy by firing another dart, or the button can be held down for another second or two to have the trap explode, sending all the "captured" bullets out in all direction.

Rossmore 238 (Human shotgun):
Primary fire: Fires one barrel. The round from the second barrel is then moved into the top, allowing for the secondary fire to stay viable when less than four rounds are in the magazine.
Secondary fire: Fires both barrels.

L23 Fareye (Human Sniper rifle):
Primary fire: Fires a single shot from the magazine.
Secondary fire: Activates the special attachment that speeds up neural activity within a tailored electrical pulse, giving the impression of time slowing down for the user. It can only be used sparingly, or else risk neural damage, but is extremely effective.

Deadeye (Chimeran Sniper rifle):
Primary Fire: Fires a supersonic blast of energy causing massive burns and cauterization to the area it hits immediately. It still hits like a normal bullet, however, so limb detachment and blunt force trauma is applied.
Secondary Fire: Fires a proton charge, a larger, more powerful version of the main shot. It behaves as an Auger shot when wielded by high ranking Chimeran soldiers, going through solid matter such as rocks and wood.


Characters allowed could be from most countries, any of them that might be unreasonable I'll have a look at, maybe have an explanation behind how they got to the others, and then decide from there. Remember, at this point, the Chimera have almost total control of the world, most forms of transport would be impossible, and crossing the oceans would be extremely risky.

Also, there are some humans who can resist the Chimeran virus naturally. They will eventually change into a Chimeran creature, but they gain all the attributes of the Chimeran creatures: strength, reflexes, endurance, healing. They make the best soldiers, but only for a limited time before they turn. So if you make a character, you can make one of these soldiers, just be warned that they will need injections or infusions or whatever of this serum which helps them resist the virus. While they can go without the serum, it will lengthen the time it takes for the individual to turn, in some cases preventing them from turning at all, as long as they keep up with injections. Very few of these soldiers remain, but some do survive.

Character format will be...not strict, but fairly controlling. Humans are low on the food chain in this universe, and it takes tremendous amounts of manpower and effort to make it through a week alive.

If there are any questions, feel free to ask. I will answer as best I can.


UPDATE: POSSIBLE PLOT FOR MAIN STORY:

A group of soldiers, under the authority of the British government, go into South America to look for a rumored Chimeran weapons lab. The soldiers are authorized to do whatever is necessary to achieve their task, with the reasoning of "saving humanity," as well as use whatever is needed. Along the way to the weapons lab, the Chimera discover their existence, and being to attack, leading to them resorting to guerrilla warfare, hiding from the Chimera to survive while getting to the lab.

OR

The Chimera are evolving to think for themselves. Each individual soldier and trooper is developing sentience. It is rumored that a single Chimeran Angel, who survived the "phasing out" process brought on by Daedalus, hid and started to form it's own thoughts, realizing that an army of Hybrids and Steelheads who all thought for themselves would be far more effective than controlling all of them itself. So it gathered up workers, and directed them to build a device that accelerated Chimeran evolution. It has in it's disposal, a small army of soldiers and vehicles, to help protect it against the humans and other Chimerans. The surviving human government cannot allow this, and sends in a strike force to eliminate this Angel, codenamed Zeus. You are one member of this strike team, highly trained and authorized to use whatever force you deem necessary.

This looks incredibly interesting, at least to me. Looks like it'd be fun, etc. etc.
Let's hope it won't screw up the 'system' or whatever too badly. Yadda yadda blah blah blah.
/everything you already know

I call the Russian.

Here's what I think:

For now it should be put on the back burner. We have quite a few RP's going on right now, so instead of take the attention away from them and adding to this new one, I suggest adding more details and possibly creating a plot. This'll give you something to work on and keep this RP-idea in your head so you don't forget it. As you play Resistance Fall of Man continue to take and apply ideas you come up with that you feel may make the RP better.

You may also wish to provide examples of what guns are available, what sort of abilities there are.

What you have so far is great, it's fantastic, really, but now is not the time.

Alright, how about instead of adding another to the giant pile of ones we don't even use. We get rid of some of the RPs. ME, FO, Zombie, MW. Since no-one ever goes to them anymore. -Yes I do realize that zeru had posted in the ZRP, but it is not a steady stream like the ARP where it's only a few days until a post- We need to do a clean up.

I suggested this same thing not too long ago. I was turned down on the basis of "Why? It's not bothering anyone."

But on topic of the resistance RP, what do you suggest we do about that?

Can we be the heartless murderers of Humanity?

Maybe. If I can figure out a way for it to be done properly and make sense, then yeah. but if I can't, then no. They don't think like we do, they have a hivemind type thing going on.

If five people suggest psuedo-vote for one of the ideas, or say we should do it, i'll throw it up into the voting board.

Yes for #2.

Just wondering here, if this will end up on the voting board any time in the future. >.>
