Epitaph
A futuristic science fantasy dystopian / post-apocalyptic war RP conceived by myself and @DBZ7.
Synopsis
The year is 2307, and in this Earth, a mysterious cataclysm known as the "Millennial Renewal" that supposedly occurred around 400 years ago brought about devastation, significantly reducing the human population and forcing them to live in fear and servility to the cause of the event, a demon named Zagan, as well as the race of demons that had mysteriously appeared after the cataclysm. Though only a select few are aware of the finer details of the event, people are at least aware of the general gist; whatever Zagan did back then, it was powerful enough to bring darkness to humans all over the world.
Though humanity has attempted to fight back many a time throughout the years, one thing was lost over time. The one thing that was more valuable than their own life; their will. And so, Zagan, who continues to rule to this day, ruled over the world with an iron fist without any worry of effective rebellion.
Or so he believed.
From the shadows rises another rebellion. An organization known as the Liberators, comprised of both humans and sympathetic demons who wish to co-exist peacefully rather than rule over the humans, has begun to come to power slowly but steadily, and stands as the final line of humanity's hope.
Armed with only the bare minimal supplies, carrying the last remaining willpower of humanity on the shoulders, a war will be raged between the Liberators and Zagan's forces.
And nothing would ever be the same again.
With the discovery of a new power that can be harnessed by the Liberators looming over, perhaps the will of humanity hasn't been eradicated just yet.
Rules
That all being said, if I think of any more, I'll be sure to add 'em in, so for now, just heed these ones! And any common sense rules that your gut says you should follow!
Info
Generally, the RP will be based primarily in either the Liberators Base, which consist mostly of reinforced underground caverns, or the cities under Zagan's rule, including his fortress. Though some background info has been provided already, exploring the world will enable you to learn more about the little established lore if you so desire.
By default, your character will generally be a private or a recruit, for a lack of better title, in either affiliation that you choose, though if you really wanna, you can request to have your character have a higher rank such as lieutenant, captain, etc., though you'll have to really convince me and the co-GM.
We'll allow some free reign with technology and leave it mostly to your imagination, notably with if you decide to do a cyborg character, though there are some limitations; due to the fact that the Liberators have very limited resources at this point in time, they only have access to "normal" weapons, like standard guns with bullets, compared to Zagan's forces, which have access to laser guns that overheat rather than depend on limited ammo, and how the only blades around are still metal knives, rather than energy blades you might expect from say, Mass Effect.
As for the deal with the demon characters, the following is a set of guidelines concerning their physiology, abilities, and other differences from humans.
If you have any questions about any other details I might have neglected to mention, as I'm sure there are a few here and there that I missed, don't be afraid to ask!

Rules
1. Naturally, all of Iwaku's rules apply here as well.
2. No OOC drama, please. If you cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, I'll have to boot you from the RP, and worse yet, @DBZ7 will publicly roast you for everyone's amusement on top of that. You don't want him to do that, do ya?
3. The GMs' words are law. That being said, between you and me, DBZ7 is more on the crazy side, so don't trust him as much as you should trust me.
4. Don't be afraid to ask questions and add in your own ideas to the story / lore! That being said, don't get too carried away either, so ah, yeah, refer to the first part of this rule.
5. You may only sign up as up to two characters, though they may be on different affiliations / don't have to be connected to each other.
6. I would hope this goes without saying, but no godmodding or Mary Sues allowed. Don't know what a Mary Sue is? You know Kirito from Sword Art Online? Don't be Kirito.
7. Unless you absolutely can't help it, please don't do one-liners. I'm personally lenient as far as posting expectations go, but ah, just don't spend all of the RP shitposting.

There are multiple types / race of Demons each with different advantages and disadvantages, as seen below.
Heats: Abilities with fire-based attacks are the strongest of their race. Tendency to shorter tempers and higher strength and defense. Typically the slowest of their race. Depend on hot weather, humidity being an extra bonus, to be comfortable and use their abilities to the fullest.
Blurs: Abilities with lightning-based attacks are the best of their race. Walking definitions of glass cannons with average attack power, these variants can be taken down easily. To compensate, they are easily the fastest of their race and can even outdo the speed of animals like the cheetah with enough training.
Dews: The rarest of all demons, these have the potential to control all types of water: ice, water, and the air. Thriving on colder temperatures, Dews are also more susceptible to the weather than any other variant. Only slightly stronger than Blurs in terms of strength, Dews rely almost solely on their power of water.
Roaches: The most balanced in terms of power, defense, and speed, Roaches stick out due to their tenacity. Their rate of regeneration is better than all races. Their bodies can therefore take the most punishment and are the easiest to morph and shape shift. However, this variant is the most susceptible to poisons and illness, as the body puts more emphasis on the healing rather than its immune system. Rates of infections from wounds are the lowest of all the races, however.
Eyes: The weakest out of all variants in every aspect but intellect, this rare type of Demon possesses memory, creativity, ingenuity, and craftsmanship unrivaled by all except fellow Eyes. However that are the most eccentric, being the most susceptible to inborn or to develop personality or mental disorders. Usually characterized by their spiral pupils.
-
Demons are also capable of regeneration, but are not invulnerable. Healing takes up energy and the more intensive the healing, the more energy is sapped. However, wounds healed are immediately cleaned by the body against infectious bacteria. Listed are some info on their healing factors:
- Healing wounds such as tears, cuts, bruises, or open wounds take up very little energy, while healing wounds such as broken bones may leave a demon sapped of energy for a half hour.
- Reattaching limbs take up a bit more, but nothing to worry over.
- Regrowing limbs take up enough energy to leave a Demon exhausted for an hour
- Regenerating vital organs like the heart (if not too severely injured), lungs, eyes, or spinal cord is very intensive but possible, but only when the injures are less than severe. Destroyed vitals are impossible to heal or regrow, and like with humans, a damaged brain is practically irreversible. It is also impossible to regrow a detached head. -
After their rise in the wake of the mysterious cataclysm, the creatures named Demons are beings that possess inborn power succeeding the common human. However, they do have their inherited drawbacks. These include, but are not restricted to:
- The Demons' innate will to follow no one but the strongest, yet to be the strongest. The paradoxical way of thinking prevents the Demons from coming together as a unified group to start a movement, unless a figure arose with a power so unquestionably superior, no one would question him or her.
- Smaller population. Death by child birth is far more common in Demon women than humans, and this fear and drawback of reproduction just cuts down on their numbers when compared to humans.
- They possess a shorter lifespan than humans by roughly twenty years, but in turn, they remain in their physical prime for a longer time than humans.
- Increased weakness to diseases and poisons is a major contributing factor to Demon death rates.
If you have any questions about any other details I might have neglected to mention, as I'm sure there are a few here and there that I missed, don't be afraid to ask!
Character Sheet
