Bloodstains and Ballgowns (Interest Check/magic&tech mix/LGBT/post-apoc)

[Aiyanna]

Bloodstains and Ballgowns

This is the foundation of the world that will encompass the story ‘Bloodstains and Ballgowns’. If there is enough interest, I will add more information about the direction of the story, character roles/relationships, and so forth.

It’s nearly a thousand years in Earth’s future. 800 of those years passed in relative peace…until the long feared WW3 came to pass. However, the war did not come about because China finally got fed up with the US, or the US lost patience with Russia, or any other combination of human nations.

During those last 800 years, the human race actually managed to do a few things right. Science made renewable energy sources viable for just about every aspect of day-to-day life. Healthcare had defeated cancer, HIV, and AIDS. Hunger was no longer a problem. Endangered species had been rescued, the forests were being restored, people were actually caring about the land.


And that would be the undoing of our peaceful society.

With more and more people venturing out in to the wild, with less and less garbage clogging the waterways, polluting the earth, and destroying the natural havens of the world, magic decided to return. Faerie creatures, eldritch beasts, popular monsters of modern fiction, even beings for which people had no name. And even these enlightened humans reacted rather predictably.

The war between humans and magical beings spanned over fifty years, with massive casualties on both sides. It was the apocalypse that everyone had feared, just not the one anyone had expected. Eventually, the war caused the collapse of both societies, and an uneasy peace came about as everyone tried to rebuild. The survivors saw that it would be an easier road if the two sides worked together. The different races began to live together, even intermarry. And when a new government was formed, both Faerie and Humans were a part of it. A Faerie man and a human woman became the new King and Queen. Some questioned the installation of a monarchy as the head of government, but in truth, they were figureheads above the parliament and the councils.

Of course, not everyone was happy with the new cooperation between man and Faerie. Various rebel groups cropped up over the years, both human and Faerie, but were quickly defeated. Eventually people figured out that the interracial alliance was going nowhere, and malcontents kept their grumblings to themselves, or stirred up only small messes.

176, P.A.(Post-Apocalypse: a new calendar was started with the founding of the new government, marking years from the time the war ended): present day, and a new rebel faction has risen. Their message, however, is not protesting the two species working together; they protest that not enough is being done to bring them together. While only small pockets of active resistance remain, there are still many ways that humans and Faerie try to segregate themselves, without making a fuss in government. Human and Faerie only settlements are common; members of these communities despise those who are the offspring of human-Faerie pairings. The slurs and stereotypes about ‘mixed-bloods’ are far worse than any used when humans segregated members of their own race. The new rebel faction, calling themselves the White Hands, wants to stop this, and they want the government to help. The government believes that forcing the two sides together will spark another war, a war that will either remove them from power, or leave no survivors.

Will the country dissolve in to war as the rebel’s demands are ignored? If so, who will win? Will a peaceful solution be found? That’s for you to decide.

GM Roles: Rebel leader, Mixed-blood member of the royal court/government. The rebel leader role would actually go to my co-GM, so that we can keep the story moving.

Other roles will be other members of the court and government, members of the rebellion, Faeries and humans who want the races to remain separate. Maybe the King and Queen will even get involved, not satisfied to remain figureheads with such a large issue threatening the world once more. The rebel leader might need a second in command of some kind. Just have fun with it!


Character considerations:
Technology: Plenty of tech remains from before the apocalypse. Some knowledge has been lost, but enough information was stored in such a way that it survived the crash, and people have been able to rebuild. Of course, with the combination of magic and technology, there are nearly infinite possibilities. If characters have magical abilities, or skill with weapons, there are very few limits with this story, aside from the obvious (god-modding, invincible characters, etc.)

LGBT: People are far too distracted fretting about faeries and elves and vampires and such having relationships with humans to be overly worried about girls liking other girls or boys liking other boys, or both, or if a guy isn't entirely comfortable being a guy, and vice versa. Of course there are some people who will stick their noses in things that aren't their business, but for the most part, there is very little discrimination over this issue.


5-7-2015 Update:
I remembered that I should probably put some expectation of sexual content on here. Given the inclusion of supernatural beasts, mixes of magic and technology, and the post-apocalyptic setting, I think that this story belongs in the Extreme section, to be on the safe side, namely for the high possibility of incidents of bestiality. Just remember, that is not a definite thing, and all such interactions must be worked out between players beforehand. Don’t write someone in to a position they’re uncomfortable with.

Remember to tag posts that have anything above light content, so that if people don’t want to read it, they can avoid it!

5-11-2015 Update:
When you are ready, send me a PM with your character sheet, a character image no larger than 250x250, and the title 'Bloodstains and Ballgowns'. Make sure to specify whether your character belongs to the rebellion, if they are a member of or loyal to the government, or if they are neutral.

When we have enough characters to start, and my co-GM is ready with the rebel leader, I will speak with those making characters for the government or neutral, and my co-GM will speak with those with characters for the rebellion, to give you more information about the current state of the world, and the state of your respective organizations.

[Aiyanna]

BUMP!
By the way, Ladies and Gentlemen, if you have an interest in the story, but aren't sure about anything I've written here, please ask questions! I would rather answer them and get more details typed up now if that's all people need to sell them on the idea :)

[Spiral]

I am up for playing this out, but what magics are available for playable characters? Do halfbloods have magic?

[Aiyanna]

AHHHH!! Person! yay! Lol, sorry for the exuberant response.

Halfbloods do have magic, however, naturally, they are probably not quite as strong with it as their non human parent. There could be some exceptions to that; I'm not making any hard and fast rules at this point, I'm willing to work with each player on a case by case basis.

Available Magics: At first I though I would stick with the magic that you might find in more traditional mythology about Faerie-type creatures, but then I thought, why not add a bit more scientific reasoning to the mix? It seems to me that magic, and those that carry it, would evolve just like any other living thing. Humans themselves would be more advanced, considering it's a thousand years in the future, and I'm certain there would be some interesting magical abilities floating around from various species and mixed-blood humans interbreeding for nearly two hundred of those years. So, again, I'm willing to work with people. Use your imagination, I want this world to be as open and creative and fun as possible, with particular abilities and character traits not dependent on the main storyline, only enhancing it.

[Spiral]

Are there specific races of Faerie you are looking at for this or just any that fit?

[Aiyanna]

Oh you know, the usual. If it crops up in a D&D book it's probably acceptable, though most of those aren't humanoid...Elves, fairies, sprites, nymphs, dryads, sylphs, dragons, hippogryphs, griffins. If it's a creature who is commonly attributed with being able to take human shape, that sort of in-breeding is, of course, acceptable. I want this to be as open a world as I can make it, just to see what happens.

[Spiral]

Hrm sounds awesome really... I am down to play XD

[Kiric Rand]

sounds entertaining

[Aiyanna]

Yay! Well, that's two :) Sadly, probably need a few more before we can start, lol. Any particular roles you are interested in? Aside from co-GM, I have someone in mind for that, just don't know if it is going to work out yet

sounds entertaining

Another person! Woot! You guys are so making my day

[Kiric Rand]

not really sure on a particular role, though I am having a vision of a former solder who is now working with the rebel group, having stolen some of the military tech and now using it as a sort of soldier of fortune

[Aiyanna]

That's a good start! Now that people are showing an interest, I guess I should write up an outline of what my character is going to be like, at least. I can't wait, really, it's going to be such fun!

[Kiric Rand]

Now what kind of tech levels are we talking about here?

[Aiyanna]

Now what kind of tech levels are we talking about here?

Great question! There's actually a mix of tech, as the title line suggests. Yes, many things were lost over the course of the war, but enough people and information survived that progress hasn't been set back too far. Of course, in addition to the human technology, there are many magical alternatives now as well. The only thing I'm not going to get in to for this story is space travel/space technology, or anything with time travel. Seeing the future or past with magic, sure, but not actually traveling to it. I think the post-apocalyptic and magic mix will give us enough to play with.

More specifically, which is what I think you were asking, here's a brief list of things that would be available in this world:

Weapons:
-Manual weapons (swords, knives, bows, axes, etc.) Faerie creatures never stopped using these, and humans have started again since electric, laser, and mechanical weapons are now fairly rare and very expensive. There has been an effort to repair and reopen the factories that produce such things, with some success, but it's still very much a work in progress. This goes for just about any manmade commodity, though other areas have seen more effort from the population en masse.

Medical/Scientific:
Many of the worst diseases, such as AIDS, HIV, cancer, polio, leprosy, etc., were eliminated before the war, and new ones have yet to emerge and take their place. Of course, common illnesses like colds and flus are still prevalent, as they evolve too quickly for even these advanced humans to defeat entirely, but disease is largely a worry of the past. Infection and poison are still risks, though, particularly with the various magical creatures reemerging in the world with previously unseen toxins in and on their bodies. However, magical healing can help with all but the worst of these, if the patient is reached in time by a healer of sufficient strength.

Entertainment:
Television and movies still exist, though the devices that make them usable are few and far between. Internet service has basically vanished for the general public, but there are still satellites transmitting signals, if a person has the right talent to access them. A more rare talent in this day and age, but not unheard of. Of course the 'internet' of a thousand years in the future is a far more sophisticated thing than by current standards. That;s not to say people don't know how to have a good time. There is still a thriving music and acting culture, perhaps even more diverse and exotic as it was before the war, with both Faerie and humans bringing their own unique tastes and cultures to the mix. People still enjoy shows of various talents as well, from traditional displays like juggling and weapon's skills, too awe-inspiring magical demonstrations. 

[Kiric Rand]

ok, so kinda Shadowrun-ish tech without the over abundance to projectile weapons. Because I was thinking as a former solder he might have an exoskeleton like thing and one weapon from his service, though he rarely uses it. But due to these techs being usually military only, it allows him to charge pretty much whatever price he wants.

[Aiyanna]

I never did anything with shadowrun, so I'll have to take your word on that. Another word on weapons: there are some 'laser' weapons, like you'd see in star wars, stargate, star trek, whatever, but there are also still some projectile weapons, the rounds and sights and whatnot just do really cool things that current weapon technology can't. Also, a bow like what Hawkeye uses in the Avengers would be a perfectly acceptable weapon. Just remember to make your character balanced, when you write him. That exoskeleton thing could be fairly OP if not handled correctly, and I don't want the story to revolve around just the fighting. Plenty of the battles in this rebellion will be fought on a ballroom floor, in a council chamber, maybe in a bedroom (or more than one), and in other, non-violent competitions.

[Kiric Rand]

No, I agree that if not done right it could be op, i was thinking it was just a form of military only armor. Nothing fancy. The character I have in mind is kinda of the old soldier type, one who, while he would try, might stick out in a political setting.

[Aiyanna]

Perfectly acceptable, I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

[Kiric Rand]

I will get something written up soon, today kinda beat me to hell

[Aiyanna]

Updated first post, remember to read the new addition to stay up to date!

[Mantis Shrimp Prime]

I think I'd like to join this too.

[Aiyanna]

Welcome to the game, Mantis!

[Elf]

This looks very interesting. I am now thinking about the character I would bring into this world.

[Chrystal]

Okay, pure Chrystal-bait!

High-tech AND magic? YUM!

Are you still looking for a Co-GM? I have a couple of potential characters that could be adapted to fit, although she would be female, and probably not a flying monkey (although that could be interesting).

Sorry I didn't see this earlier, count me in, even if you don't need the Co-GM.

Oh, goodie, another girl! I was starting to wonder what to do about that gender imbalance...

No, I am not still looking for a co-GM, but thank you for the offer. Welcome to the story :)

[Chrystal]

Uh... I'm afraid you still have a "gender imbalance": I'm gay!

But I generally I don't join games like this for the smut but for the action...

[Aiyanna]

That doesn't matter. I don't care about your orientation: you are still a Lady. I'm still debating making my girl bi or gay, so I would still be in need of another female character, yes? If I decide to get her involved with another character, that is. Since the Lords thus far have indicated making male characters, I still want a roughly even selection of male and female characters. Things seem to flow better, that way.

[Chrystal]

Lol, very true. I hope we can get some more ladies interested...

Sooo.... I have a number of characters who might work, or could be amended to fit, or I could simply create a new one...

Marcia Purbrook is a totally bad-ass human cyborg, capable of morphing weapons out of her forearms.
Gretcha Pinkblood is the product of a human female being raped by an Orc male, with all the personality problems entailed therein.
Zarathel is a Demon Succubus - she might be a little too powerful for a game like this, though?
Anitsha "Nitzy" Longstride is something of a cynical kleptomaniac, halfling thief.
Deborah Hathers, AKA The Pariah, is a human professional assassin. She kills for money, but has a soft spot in her heart.


What do you have most need of?

If you would like more detail on any of the above, let me know. I can always modify them. If none of them fit, I will easily create a brand new character.

(edited to add character image links)

[Mantis Shrimp Prime]

Well, I'll certainly be playing a female character.

I want you to play the character you are most comfortable with, however, a couple quick caveats: I think the metal-morphing cyborg is a little too much tech, too high tech, for a tech/magic mix world. Also, I don't have an issue with the 'power' of a succubus, but angel and demon mythology tends to be slightly different from Faerie mythology. If you could pick between the assassin, thief, and half-Orc, that might be best.

(Why is it never a human guy raping an orc woman?!)

Well, I'll certainly be playing a female character.

bows head apologetically
I apologize, Mantis, you are quite right. I hadn't considered that you hadn't mentioned anything about the character you are going to play. Please forgive me.

[Mantis Shrimp Prime]

I think the metal-morphing cyborg is a little too much tech, too high tech, for a tech/magic mix world.

What is your stance on chainsaws?

(Why is it never a human guy raping an orc woman?!)

I would comment on this, but I don't want to get in a rant on double standards and sexism in fantasy, the rather distasteful idea of half-breeds resulting from rape, and the issues of why other species always seem up for mating with humans (much less the fact such unions can actually produce viable offspring...)

Oh no, no need for that. :P
Just thought I'd mention. I pretty much never play males.

[Aiyanna]

What is your stance on chainsaws?

This is where this particular mix of worlds gets tricky. See, being a thousand years in the future, a lot of things aren't going to look the same. I mean, imagine going back to 1088 with an automobile and an automatic rifle. If the frightened, angry mob didn't get you and burn you at the stake for being a demon, no one would understand what you had anyway. Fast forwarding to 3050-ish, certainly historical records will be better (most likely), but there are a lot of things we use today that simply wouldn't be around anymore. I don't think a chainsaw would have made it, particularly not with humans getting all eco-conscious.

My point was, that the common cliche is a non-human creature attacking a human. I think the most common explanations for other races going after humans is that they are easy targets, or other races are fascinated by mortality. Not saying I agree with it, just a casual observation.

What if I come up with an awesome backstory for this relic chainsaw and why it's still around?

Humans do go after other races. It's called adventuring, and it generally involves killing them and taking their stuff.

[Chrystal]

I was thinking that Gretcha was probably the best fit here - especially as the premise is based around the prejudice towards half-breeds!

I think I'll stay clear of the other discussion except to say that the idea of a human raping an orc is I suppose possible but the orc would have to be the sole survivor of a war-band, being raped by lots of humans...

I am quite happy to discuss possible options for Gretcha's parentage. One of her parents is an orc, the other is human. Which is which, I don't really mind. Equally, one of the parents can be captive slave to the other, or can be a willing slave to the other, or they can actually be quite happy living together as a couple, and alternate who ties the other up in bed!

Gretcha's big problem is that as a green-skin, she doesn't fit in with the humans, elves or other races, but as a pink-blood, she doesn't fit in with the orcs. She would be a perfect candidate for the Rebellion!

[Aiyanna]

What if I come up with an awesome backstory for this relic chainsaw and why it's still around?

Only if that back story includes how you're going to power said chainsaw in this day and age, since gasoline and electricity no longer exist. PM it to me and we'll talk.

@Mantis: Alright, look. My question about human male attacking an Orc female was not a reference to regular attacks, I meant specifically sexual attacks. It also was not a serious question! Thank you for your input, but let's focus on getting characters here. The main issue here is what character Chrystal wants to play, and said character's parentage will only affect that character, not the story as a whole.

@Chrystal: It's your character, and you're right, with mixed-breeds being a central factor of the story, the half-orc would be a good candidate for a member of the rebellion. Remember, I'm going to work with all of you on case-by-case when you get your characters going.

Speaking of which!

I'll add this to the first post as well, but when you are ready, send me a PM with your character sheet, a character image no larger than 250x250, and the title 'Bloodstains and Ballgowns'. Make sure to specify whether your character belongs to the rebellion, if they are a member of or loyal to the government, or if they are neutral

[Mantis Shrimp Prime]

1. Ah, maybe I'll come up with different idea. I probably had a wrong impression of the whole magic/tech mix you had in mind (though my idea was a magical combustion engine that runs off blood rather than petrol).

2. Sorry, I have a tendency to latch onto strange arguments.

It's alright, like I said, the mix is a little tricky. But really, if you do have a great backstory for your chainsaw, I'm willing to accept it. I mean, we have thousand year old pieces of art, bowls, tools, decorations, etc. in museums today. And a blood engine would be something suitably magical/creepy/inspired to suit the story. The explanation doesn't have to be complicated, it just has to fit.

And it's alright, I do it too. I'm just trying to focus because I know I don't have very much GM experience, and I want to make this fun for everyone.

[Mantis Shrimp Prime]

Right. I'll get going that character profile PM then.

So then this is mostly fantasy then, with any tech being super ancient artifacts and being rather rare? Not a kind of steampunky/final fantasy-ish setting?

My character concept should work, but might push the boundary in some ways (they'd probably be something of an archaeologist with an interesting in reviving lost sciences, so I'll need to get a better idea of what might be 'too far').

[Aiyanna]

No, Mantis, the tech is going to be what's left over from the fall of a society that is 800 years in the future. Yes, older technology, like a chainsaw, would be rare. The older it is, the rarer it is. There would be more records of recent technology to start rebuilding, and people would focus on that because it would be more useful. I can't compare to Final Fantasy because I don't know anything about it.

I think the idea of an archaeologist type character is delightful. I definitely want to see what you've come up with.

[Mantis Shrimp Prime]

Ahhh. So, more advanced technology would be easier to find (though the power/infrastructure to run it has been wrecked?), as opposed to more primitive technologies being more common in a fantasy universe.

[Aiyanna]

Ahhh. So, more advanced technology would be easier to find (though the power/infrastructure to run it has been wrecked?), as opposed to more primitive technologies being more common in a fantasy universe.

Exactly! People are figuring out how to run things with 'batteries' and crystal energy and magical generators again, but it's a build up. See, they make a steam engine to make the parts for an electric/gas engine, then use that to make the parts for a more advanced engine, then the advanced engine to do something even more advanced....and so on and so forth. But that's just the human technology, learning to use magic in conjunction with advanced sciences

The Faerie races never stopped using 'medieval' weapons and technology, they just advanced their devices with magic, rather than science. Then humans and Faerie come together, and you've got a whole mess of different ideas and technologies and methods running rampant over each other. That's why, as long as you come up with a convincing story for an item that isn't too high tech for the story, I'm willing to run with it.

[Mantis Shrimp Prime]

Any other particular format you want for the character sheet?

[Aiyanna]

Any other particular format you want for the character sheet?

I probably should make a format....poop.

I really hate BBCode, to be honest

Add colors if you want to, I'll make them all uniform and pretty and whatnot when I make a character thread. I may add more later, but that's all I can think of for now.

[Chrystal]

You two are getting on like a house on fire...

Is there anyone else playing?

LOL

Something about chainsaws:

A chainsaw is the most labour-efficient "non-magical" way of cutting up wood that is man-portable. I own a small electric chainsaw, and believe me it is a lot easier to cut a log with it than to use a hand saw. Wood is the most readily available AND easily renewable resource for building material and fuel. Given that there has been a devastating war that has probably laid waste to cities and reduced the Earth's population by quite a lot (followed by the attendant famine, plague and death), the forests would be taking over again... It doesn't take long for nature to reclaim what mankind has abandoned! So trees would not be in short supply and I would think a chainsaw would be something the non-magical humans would want to re-discover.

Just my thought.

I'll dig up Gretcha's charsheet from wherever it's hiding...

[Mantis Shrimp Prime]

It's also the least efficient way of cutting up people, but the challenge is part of the fun.

[Elf]

I'm still working my character concept, but am toying with the idea of a human dragon half breed. He would the only child of a willing marriage between a human male and the female dragon that feel in love with him. After learning that she had become pregnant she used most of her magical energies to remain in her human form throughout the pregnancy. However due to her true nature of being an egg laying being giving birth to a live baby she died giving birth. My character would be part of the rebellion wanting bring all sentient beings together so that a way could be found to keep both parents of such unions as his parents would not be fatal to one.

He would have two forms, that of a human male and a dragon humanoid.

[Sasquatch421]

Sounds interesting! If I can make up my mind character wise that is.... Two favorite races are Minotaurs and Halflings! A Halfling character could be extremely adaptable for anything needed story wise.

Welcome to the game :) I look forward to seeing what you come up with

I didn't say it was hard, I said I hated it. I will format the character sheets as I get them, thank you. Also, if people do use that code, make sure you fix the image height. I said 250x250, not 300.

[Chrystal]

Oops, sorry I am so used to using 300... that slipped out!

[Sasquatch421]

Welcome to the game :) I look forward to seeing what you come up with

Thanks! I have a whole bunch of ideas bouncing around in my skull... Most of them dealing with Halfling's and a coupler of Kender's. I toyed with things like maybe doing a typical Halfling rogue and having be a palace placed spy in the resistance or possibly a resistance placed spy in the palace. If I went a magic route I could have more warlock like with a pact being made with a fey spirit or maybe one of his or her ancestor's married a dragon and he ended up with magical powers.

I'm even toying with a monkish idea, because the though of him using some taller person's testicles as a speed bag made me laugh. Could also do a slight combination if it could be worked out just right. Like say he started down a monks path, but stumbled onto said spirit and made a pact or the magic of his bloodline activated. Too many ideas! Still unsure of a sex though, I could work with whatever is needed and any other people showing up... What our Male and Female ratio at the moment?

Edit: Scrapped the Halfling ideas for going Tiefling...
