It was an ordinary day like any other... The wind was calm, the autumn air brisk and inviting. No one suspected that they were being targeted by a most peculiar means of attack...

That evening, at the Metlife Stadium, a bomb was detonated overhead by drone right in the middle of a game. In a deluge of pink mist, there was absolute chaos... when exposed to the Love Bomb, children and people over the age of 45 become overwhelmed with a sublime feeling of contentedness and eventually they fall into a deep slumber. Sexually mature and capable adults, however, are consumed with an insatiable lust. While retaining all of their higher brain function, the victims' entire purpose in life becomes sexual gratification.

The players on both teams gangbanged the female reporters on the field. The cheerleaders lined up a row to take every single camera man and sideline crew one by one. The stands became an orgy- men and women having sex with whoever was able. Men happily let their wives get plowed by strangers while they waited to get hard again. The stands became a slippery mess of more than spilled beer and soft drinks...

This continued for hours. The cloud had dispersed quickly, but the intoxicating effect remained on all the victims long after. Police stood outside in gas masks, but it was decided that any attempt to go in and rescue the victims would end of harming them. By all appearances, there was no rape going on at all. Everyone entirely consented, and some were even willing to wait. Those who weren't got themselves off without complaint. Those who were unaffected remained peacefully at rest amidst all the chaos around them.

Later that night, a new 'Terrorist Group' L.O.V.E. took responsibility for the attack. The Liberation Of Venery for Everyone. Their spokesman, face obscured, said that this was but the beginning. They made no demands, held no ransom, and only promised that soon, everyone would know love.

The worst of injuries were a few bruises, and the only condition that was treated for that day was 'exhaustion'... it took days for the effects to wear off completely, whereupon victims returned to their normal selves.

You are a special agent of the government, assigned to an investigative task force. Your mission- hunt down and stop L.O.V.E. before they strike again. Police, FBI, NSA, CIA, even the military has offered specialists to help find these culprits and prevent another not-at-all deadly attack.

Looking for:

3-5 players.

The first thing that came to mind was the main cast of the Evil Within, sexy old-school Scully and Mulder types from the FBI. That being said, this is a silly Tom Clancy-esque drama. You could play the lab-rat chemist that studies the chemical compounds, the military guy/girl that leads the kicking-down-doors team, or a behavioral analysis person a la Criminal Minds. Think of any super-serious film like The Siege or Body of Lies dealing with national panic and that's the kind of story I want to turn on its head.

Other inspirations include, oddly enough, Parasite Eve and Zombie flicks, if only because of the Carnegie Hall scene and the 'mass infection' type scenarios.

Sounds very interesting. I'm sure I can come up with something quite interesting if this takes off.

You know, I didn't even think of that. Been playing rainbox six siege again, shadow? :P

Hell, let's make it an international threat. L.O.V.E. threatens everyone! Always liked IQ, myself.

So, I'm toying around in my head of various themes or tones that I'd like to do this.

I am tempted to make it more serious... One of the inspirations is Resident Evil 6/Revelations 1. If you are familiar with them, a terrorist organization unleashes bioweapons upon innocent populations. The other inspiration is Parasite Eve, in which two very public places (Carnegie Hall and a Central Park concert) are attacked by a supernatural being.

If we kept it silly, then L.O.V.E. is only after some arbitrary hippie free-love objective and there's not much mystery to it. It would be weird and anticlimactic for guys to kick down doors and be greeted by harmless hedonists.

If we were more serious, then the SWAT-type characters won't be so out of place... L.O.V.E. might openly profess an agenda of free love and hedonism, but that might be a smokescreen for something more insidious or perhaps their attacks become more varied and more dangerous as time goes on...

One of the themes that I wanted to work with in either scenario is the idea that L.O.V.E. garners a lot of sympathy. Their bomb, dropped on, say, a warzone, could lead to peace. Their bomb, if altered, could pacify rioting populations. People retain their intelligence and identity while in their sex-crazed state. It is very contentious for the government to start kicking down doors and raiding places with fully automatic weapons when all L.O.V.E. (apparently) wants to do is spread love.

I'm all for a more serious tone. Should there be some terrifying consequence to all that random fornicating though? You know besides knocking up a bunch of random women.

Certainly a number of relationships were probably put on thin ice, especially if one member wasn't at the scene as well. The other consequence could be the feeling of being manipulated and even raped. A lot of people saving themselves would be quite disappointed... I've no doubt quite a few would even be traumatized and horrified of themselves for having enjoyed it and partook in it as much as they did, even though there was nothing they could do.

The national debate might be over whether L.O.V.E. are horrible proxy rapists or liberated free love pioneers. There would probably be a swell of support for them, even if that group remains in the minority.

I have to think more on the nature of L.O.V.E., and they may indeed have demands- pretty benevolent or harmless ones, even.

A major STD? Lack of productivity threatening the economy?

Well there was this one movie about a girl who caught an STD from this guy who worked in a morgue. She turned into a zombie.

I'm not sure what views my character would have of L.O.V.E. just yet. I'd imagine more bad than good.

pcnovaes

can we have some kind of fictional secret organization? I just watched kingsmen.

Praxis

After The Division...I would like in.

Have all the slots been filled?

Inerrant Lust

It's not first come, first serve.

Heck, I haven't even received in depth character concepts yet. If I think of a boss type character, I'll post a sample character sheet.. but if you want to be a pioneer, you can post one of your own. :P

As for a secret organization.. Hmm, that could work but that implies that this kind of thing is commonplace enough to necessitate an organization being founded explicitly to deal with it. And, really, wouldn't they be more concerned with.. like.. ISIL or something? ::)

I'll make a character as soon as you say what system are we using.
As for the secret prganization, it could be a rival organization, like spme super prudish catolyc order. knights of something

Inerrant Lust

No system, I'm thinking.

For a character sheet, I'm thinking of a dossier-type deal. I'm thinking the tone is realistic- photographs or really good renders, please.

Name: Eoghain mcGleeson
Age: 36
Position: Assistant Special Agent-in-Charge
Organization: FBI
Experience: Criminology degree, Ph.D. in criminal psychology. 13 years with the FBI
Qualities: Analytical, empathetic, crack shot
Biography: Eoghain's father Robert was a first generation Scottish immigrant that had moved with his parents from Scotland in the sixties. His mother Aliana was an African American. They'd met in Vietnam, where Robert was an infantryman, who'd been hit by a shrapnel blast. Aliana was one of the nurses that cared for him. Within months of returning home, the couple got married, despite both families' objection. They had three children. Aisha, Eoghain and Marcus.

From a young age, Eoghain was interested in the workings of the mind, and was often pondering why people did bad things, or good things for that matter. His parents' explanations involving god and the devil never really sounded logical to him. When he finished high school, he started college with the intention of studying psychology, but after having witnessed an awful case on campus, involving a young student's death, Eoghain decided he'd go into criminology. His high grades combined with his athletic prowess (He was a fullback in the college football team) brought him to the intention of the FBI's recruiters.

He joined up right after college, and served seven years with the Tampa field office, studying for his masters in his spare time. He then applied for, and was accepted into the BAU (Behavioral analysis unit) He worked there for another five years, getting his Ph.D. in criminal psychology after redefining several key profiling criteria. Nearly a year ago, he was promoted to ASAC and placed with a team in the FBI's national security division.

In case it wasn't obvious, it's almost mandatory that you'd be fine with your character potentially being overwhelmed with an entirely rational desire to fuck.  ;)

Hmm I wondering should I make my character design based in more of science or military background?
