Ever since its inception shortly after Lunar Descensions, the New Eurasian Federation has been riddled with crime and violence. A few decades ago, the Eighth Order has reemerged before the eyes of the public, in the depths of China-0's black market. Since then, the Order has seized control of districts across the globe, focusing on the Federation in particular.
The nations under the banner of the N.E.F. have since turned to the global conglomerate HORUS; the technological giant has a stellar track record in their work with Afrika, Oceania, and the American Commonwealth, who fare well against the sinister Order.
While the organization's involvement has established a consistent force to fight back against the criminal elements, their involvement and the steadily increasing emergence of various human resistance groups has only escalated the situation. The most notorious one - KISEKI BLACK - being a highly dangerous underground organization that is at odds with every side, be it the Eighth Order, other resistance fighters, or government intervention.
In the New-Japanese capital, Santover, the HORUS initiative has been expanded upon with Her Majesty's approval. Those wielding the special abilities bestowed upon them by the Eclipse Seeds are called Proxies - and Proxies are recruited en masse to protect the city, the nation AND the Federation against the Eighth Order as well as ruthless terrorists such as KISEKI BLACK's members.
Our allegiance lies not with HORUS, but their endeavor to combat the Order. To protect our home. Whatever your history. Whatever your talents. Whatever your age, creed, beliefs - We will not surrender to the darkness. We will pour light on everything.
Hi, and welcome to the interest check for ɢʀɪᴍɢʀᴀᴍ! This roleplay's gonna be very seinen/josei-esque, so expect a lot of edge. That being said, as much as I like tropes, I do want creativity, of course, and hope to in-turn deliver that to you, too. The story isn't completely fleshed out yet, as I'd rather measure general interest before I pour in hours and hours of work. But there's plenty of lore and such created already.
Our characters would be part of HORUS, and the start of the roleplay will be the first mission our group is assigned together. That being said you are invited to make any sort of character, be it a 40+ veteran who has plenty of experience, or a youngling who's going on their first mission ever.
A big thing for this setting is that due to a disaster and the following crisis several decades before the start of the roleplay, the general population has gone "mad". That doesn't mean that everyone's a raging psychopath, but madness is a prevalent theme in ɢʀɪᴍɢʀᴀᴍ. There will be macabre business, such as voodoo shops or bumbling cultist in almost every location. Essentially, everyone's a little cuckoo. But again, not to the point where you feel like you accidentally started playing Borderlands or the likes. That being said, every person has a "Madness Level" so to speak, that massively affects people. For example, a Madness Level of 1 would be the same as any average person today. Many people hover between 1-2, while there's also plenty of 3s. Those are the norm, so to speak. 4 and up is rare, but those are the ones you gotta be REALLY cautious of.
Another big thing is that I'm looking for at least one person who wants to co-GM with me. I need someone to help me do the boring stuff (sheet approval, post reminders etc.) but also someone who I can bounce ideas back and forth with and who's interested in helping to tell the story. Depending on the number of interested peeps, I may require at least one co-GM. But we'll see.
Feel free to ask questions if you have any!

ɢʀɪᴍɢʀᴀᴍ | Tᴀᴋᴇ Mᴇ Wɪᴛʜ Yᴏᴜ[/bG]
「ɢʀɪᴍɢʀᴀᴍ is a dystopian sci-fantasy role-play, inspired by the game franchise “The Dishwasher”, as well as animes such as “Soul Eater” and “Tokyo Ghoul”. It focuses heavily on exploration, guerrilla warfare, and rebellion.」
They've crawled from the shadows, gnawing at the very fabric of existence. The Shamans... Where we strive for peace, they strive for regression. An ancient order, the 8th Order, that dates back to the birth of humanity. They were there, millennia before the moon fell and bathed the earth in terrible light; always lurking in the shadows, desiring nothing but nothingness.
But we were there, too.
From since before the crib of humanity has formed until today, we fought. Against them. Against their yearning for darkness. For progress. For freedom. The New World may be a fractured war zone, and the Eighth Order may believe this to be their war to lose, but we'll die before we relent to their madness. This is what it means to be human.
This is what it means to be... mad.
