Alright, This is probably the second RP I've based off of a dream, but here it goes.
In this world there are supernatural beings of great power known as revanents. These beings pass into the mortal realm and take over the minds, bodies, and souls of those that they deam worthy to inhabit. Once here, these beings are able to manifest power on an unimaginable level. The most powerful of these become the heads of their own organizations, each one atttempting to conquer the world in some way shape or form. Out of this, the world slowly developed until it would become recognizable by those in this one. Science, math, medicine, economy, social structure, and even entire civilizations are based around the waring factions, in each major city, there are at least three outcroppings of the Revanant armies in a form similiar to the mafia. The mafia's all deal in the cities affairs and run the underground as well, each branch being controlled by one of the top Revenents lackies who they themselves are in control of an army of posessed humans controlled by usually low level Revenants known as suits, who manifest themselves as beings similiar to The stereotypical CIA Agents. However, quite recently a new breed of human has come into being. Some error, occurred during the process of posession, as of yet they have yet to discover if this was due to the soul of the human overtaking the Revanent, or due to a new scientific process made by the humans. Either way, these individuals have locked away and imprisoned their Revanents, deep within heir psyche, and have become able to draw on their power without being devoured. This new breed of human is called, the Repossessed. |

While its an interesting concept, we have way to many planned RPs right now and another planning thread will distract from the active ones and cause it to take even longer to get through the active RPs. If we could put off planning this for awhile until it becomes more relevant that would be great.

I'd rather we worked on Warriors of Myth actually, I'd like to restart that one eventually.
Romans 8:31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?
1 Corinthians 13:1-3 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. |

Alright here's the spin, in this game you can play as three different characters. A Revanent, A Shadow Soldier, or a Repossessed.
Revanents are basically god like beings who have devoured the body and soul of a human to exist on the physical plane, despite this process, not all are evil, infact, some even try to attempt to live normal lives disguised as humans. Nevertheless as beings of power, they are incredibly dangerous. Each one seems to hold sway over a certain section of reality some concrete, like ice and stone, others bizzare and tweaqed. There are wo types of revanents you can play as, Either a Mafia boss, which gives you controll over your suits, or a roamer, which allows you to take free actiosn and make alliances. Shadow soldiers: Humans have survived for a long period without being enslaved by the Revanents, This is soley based ont heir determination enginuity, and vast ability for technological growth. Over the past few hundred years a shadow organization formed which is hiding beneath the underground of the Revanent mafia, experimenting with reality, and attempting to obtain the power of the Revanents for their own uses. These humans are immune to the possession by Revanents due to a combination of drugs, and mental training. Almost from birth these humans are trained in large facilities passing as schools, where they are trained to attack and kill Revanents and are continually brainwashed and augmented. You may play as two types, either A legionair, or an escapee. Legionairs are the soldiers of the Shadow organizaton, and as such have acess to high level technology and equipment, but they have been brainwashed to the point where they obey all orders made by the organization. The escapees are formed from a group of children who escaped the facility at an early age before the brainwashing could fully take hold. They have formed a bit of a freelancing operation, in which they complete various tasks around the cities, and sometimes world, in exchange for equipment, money, and power. They have made quite a name for themselves and are beginning to become quite a Nuisance to both the Shadow Soldiers, and the Revanents. Repossessed: A human that was almost taken over by a Revanent, but managed to reverse the process before they were devoured. Revanants are a rather recent developement in this world, when their existance became known after the first came into being both the Revanents and the Shadow Soldiers began to asctively hunt them, the first in order to destroy them and retrieve the Revanent, the other in order to keep them captive and obtain the secrets of their abilities....the exploratory brain surgery. Revanents are capable of manifesting abilities that allow them to fight on par with most Lacki Revanents. However, the more power they draw from their captive Revanent, the more they run the risk of being devoured as their bodies and souls begin to shift into the form of the Revanent. If the transformation ever fully takes place, they are destroyed and become the revanent. In cases of extreme stress they have been known to enter something that has become called a half state, in which the Revanents energy is majoritively released without the mind of the Revanent there to controll it, this usually results in a short period of large scale destruction before the Repossessed either looses consciousness, regains controll, or self destructs. On occasion, there are rare cases where communication between the Revanant and the Repossessed has taken place, but the relationship between the two is rarely benevolent. There are two types of these as well, the War Bringers, and the Cans. The War Bringers are a group of Anarchists Revanants who believe themselves to be the new race of being, and want to wype out the others to gain control of the earth. Some of these War Bringers have been known to control suits, although they are less powerfull than the Mafia version. Cans, is a derogatory term for free roaving revanents Used by the war bringers, gained from the term Kick the can, which is a similie to how they drift from place to place running away from the two groups. |

I can plan the entire thing by myself pretty much, if I move within two or three days of a dream it forms pretty quickly. Gotta move while the gate's still open.

My point is that I'd rather have focus on the active RPs.

I'm keeping same character for that one though.

Non playable characers.
The Suits: Low level revanents that come into being as servants for the higher ones, usually free floating consciousnesses that can take control of almost any human as they see fit, as long as they do not have a resistance like the Shadow Soldiers. Suits, have strength several times that of a normal human and are usually almost indestructable, when they are killed, so are their possessed. However, there is a drawback, they feed off of the energy of the Revanents, and as such cannot maintain control of their host if their Revanants energy drops past a certain point during a fight. However, this has recently been use as an advantage, suits are able to manifest in the presense of Repossessed as well, which has made them become a tracking device for them. Out of these suits, there are a select few that are special these have developed incredible power and a conscioussness of their own, able to battle and sometimes over take Revanents easily.The best individuals are divided into colors. Blue: A proffesional in every way, after taking possession of a human his fighting skills are legendary in the world of Revanents. Nigh indestructable. Red: Slightly less proffesional than his counterpart blue, often cracking sarcastic and demeaning jokes, and making light of his job, but his raw power is almmost on level of a mid class Revanent. Black: A silent suit which excells in assassination and investigation. Green: Not much is known about this one, but he seems to be capable of holding his own with the other colors, never seems to so his full potential. Ankh: Originally nown as purple but abandoned that name after defecting from his mafia. He has somehow discovered a way to survive in the huamn world without a Revanant, and has been working as an indescrimant merc ever since. Slightly insane. The beasts: Revanants, are beings of incredible power which possess humans, however, their are other beings, which ahve been known to take over the bodies of beasts and plants. these usually stay out of cities and roads, but the jungles and forests are their home. Usually are not sentient, capable of mass indescrimate slaughter, making the wild a very dangerous place. Some, are sentient, but of low power in comparison to the Revanents, some have been taken as pets by the Revanents themselves. |

If Revanent.
Character Name: Gender: Physical Characteristics: Faction: abilities/domain: Boss: I'll add the high Revanents later. Weapon/fighting style of choice: Possessed: The human that you have possessed, the longer you have possessed this human, the more power you have, but the more likely the body is to self destruct, at which point you have to find a new possessed. Additional information: Anything you'd like to add involving backstory or personality. Keeping it small, but I'll probably change it later, getting tired, and the dream might continue itself anyway. |

If human:
Character: Gender: Physical characteristics: Faction: Augmentations: The Shadow soldiers have augmentations for their soldeirs for both their mental and physical capabilities, but several have one specific ability upgraded to unnatural levels, such as sight, strength, speed, intelligence, or even have been given special abilities such as sonic manipulation, or flight. Weapon of choice: Shadow soldiers are issued basic infiltration gear such as pistols, attack daggers, and Iron knuckles, but the escapees have to choose one that their best suited for. Additional information. |

The city we're gooing to be in at the moment is Akadia, it's basically a very very very very large city which has been active for the past several hundred years, over a thousand at this point actually. it's located in the middle of a major crossroads for the continent so the Revanants have been fighting over it for years, about two hundred years ago the battles slowed to a stalemate.
There are a few ancient Revanent spread around here and their who are nuetrals, including the Oracle, a bieng of vast knowedge capable of granting a wish just before the Death of her Possessed. As such, Idiots from round the world gather to have their problems fixed thsi time of century. There is als a Shadow Soldier Academy located in the city rather close to the Oracle. Every now and then beasts invade, along with the rampant curse every now and then and odd event, but other than that it's a peacefull Revanant ridden city. |

Zale, Philote, others who may offer good advice.
What do you think of this? |

Like I said, try not to divert focus into this right now. We need to focus on active RPs.

Your time would best be spent on WoM I think, but this could be worked out into a RP if we had more time.

I've got warrriors of myth patched up already. Or at least as patched up as it's going to get for the reboot. I think the problem was we went into the action to early, and then started a story line, I was thinking in term of a t.v show, not a video game. What we'd need to do is post our characters being confronted by the organization, and then excepting, then orientation, then training, during which we have a few spar fights and actually use the equipment and have it explained. After that we get a hot spot of activity in london and are called in to investigate, on the jet over we learn that it is Spring heeled jack, and we have to isolate the coordinate until nightfall and set up a trap. I'm making jack more powerful this time around as well, the last fight was to easy.

It seems interesting.
Elements of a masquerade, as well as fighting. Against Eldrich abomninations.
