THE PITCH:
"An odd dimensional anomaly originating from an alternate Earth has catapulted a team of sinister villains to our world. Unified in wicked alliance known as the Dark Templars, they seek to advance "The Syndicate" while furthering their own selfish goals. Worse still, the Dark Templars mere arrival in our world has caused reality to "ripple", slinging this world's versions of them back to where these villains came from!
Can this world's brave heroes thwart the violence of the Dark Templars and find a way to rescue their dimension-displaced allies?"
THE SKINNY:
OH SHIT SON. There's evil afoot!
The Dark Templars Attack is an open RP event some of the New Templars are running. The event officially kicked of tonight (June 27th) and we aim to wrap it up in about a week to a week and a half from now.
The premise is simple: Many members of the New Templars have been swapped for their Dark Earth selves and are stranded in this alternate reality. Meanwhile the Dark Templars - being morally questionable at best - seek to wreak their own personal brand of havoc. Robbery, murder, destruction and sating an unquenchable thirst for power are all on the menu.
THE OOC:
(The following is some OOC information for understanding what's going on and for general funsies! Participants are asked not to use it IC unless they'd have a way to know.)
Dark Earth: An Unpleasant Place to Visit
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, and every light must cast a shadow. Dark Earth is the grim mirror of the Champions Online Earth, where the uncanny compassion, mercy, and selflessness of its heroes has been replaced with selfishness, wrath and malevolence. There's no grand corrupting force or disease that makes people do bad things on Dark Earth: It just happens.
Dark Earth isn't Bizarro World: Up isn't down and bad isn't good. People still understand the difference between right and wrong. But, on Dark Earth, when that key moment came for every hero to make that profound choice as to what to do with their abilities, many chose to rob banks, take over small countries, fight for sport and live it up as godlings among mortals. Needless to say? Shit is fucked: A large swath of Europe is a Qliphothic-tainted wasteland. North Mexico and the south-west United States are ravaged by nuclear fallout. Superpowered warlords fight for territory across Africa and Asia while world governments cling to what little control The Syndicate pretends they have.
Unwelcome Guests
As of this posting there are 6 Dark Templars in our reality:
> Rampage - Dark Earth's Berzerkka (@mrbits)
> Ethereal Chaos - Dark Earth's Eternal Reverie (@kaeviar)
> Vann - Dark Earth's Vann (look some people don't have superhero handles okay?!) (@xeoved)
> The Emissary - Dark Earth's Giga-Gal (@gigagal)
> Nightmare Revival - Dark Earth's Smokin' Mirrors (@oakster)
> Scalphunter - Dark Earth's Hunter (@stone1602)
Each Dark Templar has their own goals, motivations and HATREDS, and will be doing their own thing while visiting scenic Earth as well as group RP shenanigans. We'll be up to no good IC a lot, with either on-the-fly RP scenes or more staged mini-events like their initial arrival. Watch out!
THE RULES:
Given the nature of villains in a superhero game, there's gonna be FIGHTS. However, all the Dark Templars involved recognize that not everyone enjoys PvP, and not everyone enjoys /e combat. As such, they're going to try to be as accommodating as possible for people who want to get involved. OOC communication will be key to making sure everyone involved has fun in a venue they feel is fair, so we'll be keeping our ears open!
That being said? The Dark Templars are players too, and will have their own preferences. They know that, as villains, they are "destined" to lose the war, but that doesn't mean they'll be steamrolled to make the heroes look good. The Dark Templars will OOC be considering your character's powers, abilities and general "power level" when playing with you, and they ask that you do the same when dealing with them - For fairness and for making sure things are as entertaining as possible. Because really, who wants to read a comic about a hero who one-shots THE BIG PROBLEM, shrugs all indifferent and goes back to being bored? ([Champions RP]GodModMan@MarySue: Sure is quiet tonight...)
THE SUMMARY:
The Dark Templars Attack Will be running for a week or so from June 27th, consisting of on-the-fly RP and small scenes and hopefully ending with a big climactic ending involving the RP community's heroes. Inquiries from parties interested in playing along can contact any of the Dark Templars over /tells (@globals posted above!) or just keep an ear to the ground on various RP channels or through friends.
See you on the battlefield, superDOLTS. Bwahaha!!
