Ok guys this will be a mature fantasy RP set in the future with super natural themes. It will have gratuitous violence and if done properly extreme horror elements so if your squeamish probably pass this one by. Even if you didn't post on the interest thread you can put in a sheet and you will most likely get accepted if you follow the rules.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In the short time between 2050 and our own present day expansion and technology have leapt forward at a maddening pace, huge advances have been made in fields as diverse as combat technology to cleaning appliances. Within mere decades humanity discovered technology that made disease and pain things of the past .
Drought and famine were eliminated through advanced cloning techniques, virtually overnight food stocks globally filled to the brim with abundance brought about through awe inspiring new technology. With this great step the gap between first and third world countries drastically shortened and quality of life around the globe improved for everyone. With new advances in health care the general populace were now expected to live well into the latter stages of their second century. New industry brought a need for more work and as a result almost all people lived in wealth and prosperity enough to sustain them as it was hard for a man not to capitalize In the utopian world that the new industrial revolution had created.
With the new world's prosperity and contentedness war is thought of only as something to teach in history classes as there is nothing to fight for. Religious disputes still cause conflict but it is accepted that with the new weaponry of this technological era war would be catastrophic to all involved. With this new and the fact that everything was in abundance and a sense of giving became present between every country within the new era.
Truly a man form our time looking upon this not distant future would question how it would be possible that such a future could exist and he would be right to do so. This grand new world was built not on oil or gold as the past had been, the new industrial revolution had been built on the discovery of the power within the molten core of the planet.
Early within the second decade of the twenty first centary a rare element was discovered within magma taken from a Hawaiian volcano. The eruption had been cataclysmic on a scale not recorded in any history englufing much of the other Hawaiian islands in a shroud of ash and fire. When the area cleared a team of researchers to investigate the area, the discovery they would make would spark off the new age. The lava from the island volcano was found to originate from the very center of the planet. The new element named Astonum after the scientist who had discovered it Dominic Aston exuded huge amounts of energy when bombarded with UV radiation at such a rate that a tennis ball sized lump could power an entire city for decades.
Almost immediately after this discovery was made a giant drill was constructed in South Australia in order to secure enough of this element to last the world through the next millennium. The drilling and the events that would follow it would go down in history but not for the reasons that the leaders of the world intended. This story is a lesson about fools who delve deep in their ignorance to the workings of things they cannot hope to understand and what they awake.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The overweight middle manager shuffled quickly through the brightly lit halls of the Adelaide drilling refinery in South Australia. The ambient temperature of the un-airconditioned facility and the man's own nerves had caused his short sleeved work shirt to become drenched in sweat, he felt self conscious of the dark circular stains under his arm pits and the beads of liquid on his furrowed brow. The soles of his work shoes made a loud tapping sound as he hurried down the tiled floor, the walk to the Foreman’s office always made the manager nervous. Whether this was caused by his own self doubt or the intimidating nature of the foreman was a moot point to the manager.
The Foreman of the Crow Peak drilling refinery was an intense man, focused and driven to ridiculous extents. He had arrived on the first day of the project in a black suit, his pale skin and jet black hair setting him apart from the leather skinned workers at the refinery, no-one even knew his name. wierd rumors spread about him due to his work ethic. No-one had ever seen him leave the refinery after he first stepped within its halls and custodians had reported seeing him on holidays such as Christmas in his office staring at the drill monitor as it steadily burrowed. The Foreman scared the manager, especially today because the manager had something to tell him, something impossible.
The manager twisted the handle of the Foreman’s door and went inside. The Foreman was imposing man, pale beyond reason, like a china doll, slicked back jet black hair and dark brown eyes bordering on pure black. As ever the Foreman was staring at the monitor that showed the vitals and status of the drill. The manager gulped as this meant that the Foreman already knew the drill had stopped.
“Why are we stationary, we do not stop until we reach the core?” The voice was quiet and polite but filled with malice and a fury colder than ice. The manager opened his mouth to talk but his throat was dry and he stammered like a fool. “Uh….uh..s-s-sir we’ve hit something.” The Foreman looked up from the monitor with a grin, the first time the manager had seen him smile and it made him very scared.
“What have we hit down in the deep Mr Daley?” with this the Manager got the horrible feeling that the Foreman already knew somehow about the impossible obstacle.
“A-a-a-a Statue sir, a huge statue, within the core.”
The Foreman grinned showing a row of ludicrously sharp looking teeth
“Pull it up.”
-------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, this is a story about the waking of a monster or maybe a god, or maybe something far more sinister and the ensuing havoc put upon a perfect world. You can join as anyone on the planet who could get involved in someway, military, police, housewife, driller, scientist, child politician everyone is effected. You could even be President if you wanted to I want to see how you believe your character would react to the circumstances I will create in this RP
There is only one thing you cant be and that’s because I’m already playing as it and that’s the Statue and the Foreman.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Rules
1.Be anyone you want, president of America, janitor, movie star it's all good.
2.If your character has some sort of special ability come up with some pseudo sci fi epxlantion for it.
3. Your character will at a point in RP come within the risk of dieing, how you react to circumstances will decide whether i think you have done enough to survive.
4.Usual etiquette applies as ever
5. No one sentence posts, aim for at least three eight line paragraphs.
6.Please try not to murder the English language as I have grown quite fond of it
