So, this is kind of dumb because it's based off of a series of video games that really didn't have the greatest story ever and I can't even keep to that. I've been thinking about running a Tiberium roleplay set in an alternate universe (mostly so I can revise some things I don't like about the canon) set after the Firestorm Crisis (CABAL, et alia).
I'm not super fond of military roleplays, so I'm not too sure that I want to write GDI's side of the story — in fact, the Brotherhood's tone is a lot more appealing to me in certain ways (and not others, but I'll get to that). I want to get away from the psycho pseudo-religious terrorist organization aspect and write Kane's followers more as survivors banding together to make light of the situation they've been trapped in. I still want to keep the faithful atmosphere and high concept of Tiberium worship, but I want to emphasize the Brotherhood's unity slogans rather than its stereotypical anti-West mottos.
Suppose we start the story as civilians caught in the Tiberium crisis; as a result of the infrastructural collapse, we've all learned a thing or two about surviving an apocalypse without being aware of the real goings-on in the world. Of course, we're the primary demographic for the Brotherhood, and so — one way or another — we find ourselves getting swept up in the movement.
The biggest aspect of the roleplay I want to write is the rise through the movement — earning a name for ourselves as some of Kane's most resourceful and faithful supporters. Whether we are logisticians, cyberwarriors, inventors, or even strategos, I think exploring the hierarchy and secrets of the Brotherhood would be a most satisfying direction for this roleplay.
So, what do you guys think? :D
