Apocaleptika is a roleplaying world that is very heavily inspired by White Wolf's World of Darkness. It's not that particular system, but it is a home brew system for playing that has been fine-tuned over the years, most recently with the help of Kathyan, whom I would like to start out by thanking, as this Interest Check wouldn't even be possible without her. Apocaleptika is a supernatural game, and this particular game will be in modern times.

I have a plot written up for another Chronicle in this world, which I will be presenting now:

There is much more to this world than meets the eye. Many types of beings stalk the shadows, with abilities, rules and heritage that is not the same as that of humanity. A Vampire could work at your local blood bank. A Shifter might be your veterinarian. A Witch might run your local church. Demons and Angels are fighting a war right alongside of humankind, with mortals none the wiser.

It is a sign of the times, the fact that a city in America is named Apocaleptika. Sinners and Saints alike have fled to this area, and this has become the battleground for the soul of this nation, although very few are aware of this fact.

Will you reside in Apocaleptika, trying to make your home in this place if you know that the place has a secret? Or if you do not know, can you maintain your ignorance for long? Enter our domain and find out.



There is Power Pool that is available for character creation. The link for that is below:

https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=345693.0

The system allows for Otherkin to have eight abilities, while mortals are only allowed six abilities. You must choose powers within your own Race Family from the Power Pool, unless your ability is a Human Ability, which anyone can take, even Otherkin, as Otherkin are assumed to have all the same capabilities as Humans, as well as Supernatural Abilities to make them distinct.

The only exception to this, is if you use Blood Sorcery to buy a power from another Race Family. This can be done multiple times, but keep in mind you must pay the cost of that Ability as well as the power of Blood Sorcery as a prerequisite.

If after you look this over, you like what you see, reply here for further information.


What you need to know about this game as of 10-7-22

Kathyan and I have now gotten Carly onboard as an Assistant Storyteller. Because between the three of us, we have some pretty extreme kinks and not everyone who might want to join will have this, I propose doing this game like I have others in the past.

White Wolf had Black Dog games. These games were basically Extreme. The worst of the worst. Gratituous violence, sex, beastiality. Things that would make a lot of people squirm.

White Wolf also had its Regular Line of books. Some people wanted to play Demons but did not want to play Extreme. So we came up with a compromise we think will work here.

We will have Black Dog threads and Red Dog Threads for this game. The Black Dog threads are going to be normal threads. The Red Dog threads are going to be more subdued, even though they will fall under the Extreme section. Let the GM's know if you have any questions regarding this or anything else.

Edit: You may notice a large group of females have been created to this game. Let me express, that we are open to all genders and pairings here. You do not have to take part in any sexual activity you do not want to. You will not be 'force shipped'.

This game will be a Sandbox roleplaying game, and will be very Character Driven. It's much like the types of games you currently see hosted on Jcink. People can pair off like in Jcink and single plot roleplaying games and indulge in their kinks with like minded partners while taking place in larger group threads. So not into herms for sexual encounters, that is ok there are going to be plenty of other possible pairings that can come up here.

Nathan is Trans Male,  Pansexual and heavily M/M leaning. Luna is Pansexual and heavily F/F leaning. Robin is actually Asexual and a Herm, and Alyson is Pansexual and heavily F/M leaning. If anything we might be underepresented with Het representation, and CIS males, but keep in mind that just because you do not see something here right now does not mean that we are not open to having it. We are LGBT friendly, and Het friendly so if you are thinking about joining, dont think this is just a game for the ladies.

Reply Number 11 has the character sheet for the game

Hi Esoterica,

You aroused my interest. For me, the power pool seems like a great source of inspiration for writing all kinds of characters. Do you intend this to be a sandbox game or a more guided story?

KB

Esoterica

Hi KB nice to see you around again. I think this would be more of a sandbox story than the Originators game that you were in a long while ago. There would be GM input to keep things together and all that, but I dont really have a whole big campaign mapped out for this or anything.

This sounds interesting. I had the opportunity to play World of Darkness once but it never worked out. I'd like to give a modern urban fantasy group game another shot.
Character images inspiration: Female - Male

This looks quite interesting.

How much smut is expected or tolerated for characters ?

How kinky can characters get ?

Can they take other powers they make up that are not listed which are the same power level to suit their idea for their character ?

Thank you

How much smut is expected or tolerated for characters ?


Well we could have quite a bit of smut going on given that there are Demons afoot. I try and have a balance of the two in my games, with adult content being welcome. And Kat and I tend to delve into that a fair amount in our previous stories and she will be Assistant Storyteller, so I'd say we are having a fair amount but we will have plot to give a reason for all that naughty stuff in the first place.



How kinky can characters get ?


You can get pretty damned kinky and we would not mind.



Can they take other powers they make up that are not listed which are the same power level to suit their idea for their character ?


I am not going to allow making up of powers at this time. You will have to pick from our Powers Pool.



Carly

Kathyan ! Hi ! Nice to see you again !

I have an idea for an exceptionally kinky/perverted demoness but I will send it to you both in pm instead of posting it here.

If either of the GMS (Kathyan or Esoterica) don't think the character is suitable
- thats fine they have the power of veto her to keep the thread and players in theme with their shared vision !


Carly


With the following demon Abilities ...

Depravity: the Power to induce lust in someone else

Demonic possession: the ability to possess someone else.

Bait: These individuals have the ability to cause temptation that most are unable to resist.

... is the effect permentant unless another supernatural power overcomes it later ?
Or with multiple castings can become permenant / or have a more powerful or thorough an effect ?

Esoterica

So basically, powers like this, and any power really, the more you use it, the more reinforced it is. It is strengthened like how in Vampire the Masquerade drinking more blood as a ghoul make the ghouling stronger. But nothing is ever permanent in Apocaleptika as I envision it. At least nothing that a Player can do.

I am glad to see interest, and feel free to ask any questions you have . We are not World of Darkness, but I took a heavy amount of inspiration from it. I also looked to popular lore, and to a few movies like Covenant, Legion, and Supernatural for inspiration.

I am excited about the opportunity to do this now that the Powers Pool has been fine tuned with Kathyan's help. I have characters I am migrating from elsewhere and I am working them out on the World Building document in the first post on the thread here.

A List of the main characters I am playing in Apocaleptika




Face Claim: Model Eleine
Robin Meyer
Age: 1200 years old (appears 25))
Species: Vampire
Gender: Hermaphrodite
Sexuality: Pansexual
Height: 5'7


Demeanor: Robin is inherently good, but she is forced to do bad things because of the curse of what she is.
Nature: Righteous
Humanity: High

Place of Birth: Germany
Ethnicity: German
Citizenship(s): US and Germany
Current Residence: The city of Apocaleptika
Education: Some college
Wealth: Robin is middle class.
Occupation: teacher and mentor of Otherkin

Affiliations: None currently, but potentially interested in the New Eden faction


General Description: Robin has long dark hair, pale skin, and wears colored contacts, so her eye color really varies, although it is naturally an icy blue. She dresses in Gothic attire most of the time.

Personality: Robin is outgoing and friendly, and likes to mentor Otherkin so that she feels better about who and what she is. She was turned into a vampire against her will, and later cursed, so she feels damned twice over on account of it.

Psychological Quirks: When Robin gets really nervous she taps her hands and her feet excessively to the point it might get a little annoying or uncomfortable to watch.

Likes: Robin likes Industrial and Gothic music.
Dislikes: Robin does not care for Country music or rap
Ons/Offs: I have quite a few kinks such as Female on Hermaphrodite/Futanari, Male on Hermaphrodite/Futanari, Female on Female, Male on Male, Golden Showers and Beastiality, when I happen to be in the mood.

Let me make clear however, that I do not force any of my kinks on anyone, either in threads, or in my groups, so do not let that keep you from threading with me or joining this group.

There will be several threads running at the same time, and only one or perhaps a couple of them will involve the extreme things that make some people squirm.

This will be a Black Dog game, with some threads that are even more Extreme, which will be called Red Dog threads, and will be marked accordingly so that you can forgo reading it if you are not interested in Futa or Beastiality.



Backstory: Robin was turned into a vampire centuries ago against her will. She never knew the woman who turned her. She hates her for it however, and if she was a more vengeance minded individual she would seek her down and destroy her, but she is not like that, so she has tried to just let it go and forgive the woman.

She started mentoring Otherkin afterwards, to deal with the guilt she has about doing what she does, particularly the feeding on sleeping victims in order to be truly satisfied with her feedings. She can feed on lust to sustain her for a while, but blood from sleeping victims is the only thing that truly makes her feel full and alive.






Occupation: Robin does not really have a professional job at this point, having saved up money from years of working as a professor. Now she lives off that money, and she lives off the money she gets from those that she mentors as her 'Children'. Her submissive male and female Otherkin that she mentors and teaches everything they need to know about how to live in the city of Apocaleptika.



Major Mundane Skills: (Maximum 4)

  • One: Cooking
  • Two: Driving
  • Three: First Aid
  • Four: Linguistics

Weaknesses: Robin is under a Demonic Curse to where she can only feed on sleeping victims, or else she does not feel satiated or nourished by her feeds. She seeks a cure to this curse, and it is the driving force in what she does.

  • One
Alternate feeding: The ability to feed on a single emotion such as lust, fear, anger, guilt, etc. Emotional Choice: Lust
  • Two
Hyper Reflexes: the ability to dodge bullets and other projectiles.

Ok guys nice to see more interest. Feel free to ask whatever questions we have.

Kathyan

We are already taking characters applications so you can go ahead and post them.

If you still have no clear idea of what abilities to choose but have a concept in mind you can drop it here too and we'll gladly help. :)

Lux12

I've been looking things over and I'm interested, but there's one power I'm not clear on. What exactly does summon creature allow you to summon? Are we talking just animals, or does this include stuff such as manticores and gryphons? Does it include non-corporeal entities such as nature spirits?

The power I think you are referencing, Creatures of the night: the ability to summon nocturnal animals

This would cover animals and not spirits, fantasy creatures, ghosts, or elementals, or people.

It is for vampires and there is one other vampire summoning ability Vampire spawns: the ability to summon undead. would also include ghosts and zombies.

Summon elemental. requires an elemental ability and is a witch ability. This would also include nature spirits.

There is a similar one for Shifters that allows them to speak to animal spirits and get hidden knowledge from them. Commune with the land spirits: the ability to speak with and learn the future from Earth Spirits.

There may be others I am not thinking of straight off.

Some are for only one race, others have an equivalent power across the racial lines.

Do remember though if you want a summon power that is outside your race, you can buy it with Blood Sorcery. There really is a lot of freedom in character creation that way so lets say you wanted a Shifter who could summon the undead, there is not a power available to the Shifters under the Shifter Powers that allows this, but with Blood Sorcery, you could do it, and would not have to choose to be a Witch or Vampire to get the ability.

If you were referencing this witch power:

Summon: choose one type of creature you can summon. You don't gain control over summoned creatures unless you have another ability to do so. Can be acquired multiple times

I believe this one could easily cover any kind of creature that you wanted to summon. Fantasy creatures likes gryphons, harpies, centaurs things like that would fall under this category. This is a witch power and is probably the one you would want.

Lux12

I see and summon elements, does that only allow you conjure forth an elemental force but not control it or would you need to have control elements as well to lets say, throw a bolt of lightning at someone?

Esoterica

#20
Conjure elements would be like, making a ball of fire out of thin air,. You would be able to control and direct the element you basically created.

Control element refers to elements that are already there. Like taking a fire in a fireplace and tossing the flame at someone.

Face Claim: Charleze Theron (Eon Flux)
Anna Parkley
Age: 132 (Apparent human age: 30)
Species: Otherkin: Demoness - Originator (Uranna's New Eden's Demon-Human Hybrid)
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Pansexual
Height: Six foot two inches


Demeanour: Jesting/Sarcastic
Nature: Opportunistic
Humanity: Average

Place of Birth: America
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Citizenship(s): America, Europe
Current Residence: Apocaleptika (America)
Education: Home Schooled - Special Forces Trained
Wealth: Varies

Affiliations: Follower of New Eden


General Description: Anna is statuesque and has more of an athletic body than womanly or feminine, she always has close cropped short hair and wears black close fitting clothing which allows ease of movement and is perfect for action in all forms. This is even true when she is in casual wear. Due to most of her life refining martial arts of varies types, her posture and balance is perfect in almost all situations. Anna does not wear any jewellery, and is in many ways a tom boy in regards to always having at least one hand gun on her person at all times. Anna is familiar with a large array of hand guns and special ops equipment. Anna owns several very expensive custom pieces (semi-automatic hand guns) as well as a selection of special force issue flash-bang grenades, covert equipment needed to break into high security locations as well as concealed high-tech lock and safe opening tools.

Personality: Anna is primarily opportunistic. She can be sarcastic but when so it is without venom, its just her take on a lot of situations.
Although having a part that was focused on special forces training by a single father that was similarly trained, Anna does appreciate the fine things in life and is quite taken by antiques, art and history. Anna spends much of her free time staying fit or training in various forms of martial arts. Anna has fine-tuned reflexes, and coupled with supernatural eyesight, is highly aware of her surroundings and is especially good at spotting concealed weapons on others. Due to intensive training over many years, Anna typically is the first to act in any confrontation.

Psychological Quirks: Anna has a habit of always scanning rooms looking for exits, and trying to size up how dangerous other people nearby are. She can easily tell who has martial arts training from judging the way they move.

Likes: Anna is obsessed with all things that relate to her role as a body guard and breaking and entering stealth specialist. She relaxes in the perversions New Eden Followers are encouraged to partake in and believes in it whole heartedly. Being an Originator, she is often requested to be present during couplings, a situation she had grown to like. Although open to sleeping with people of all kinds occasionally, she is a Voyeur at heart, enjoying seeing other people satisfied sexually.

Dislikes: Anna dislikes people that are very selfish which take pleasure from the distress of others.
Ons/Offs: Watching sexual activities in almost all of its forms (does not like scat/poo play).


Backstory: Anna was raised by a single father that was also an Demon that had Special Force and Covert Operations training. Due to her and her father also being Otherkin and long lived, they had ample time to refine many skills, both enjoying time practicing them together. Anna had home schooling that focused on perfecting several hand to hand martial arts, combat with hand guns, breaking and entering and opening locks and safes.  As such she is superb with such skills but lacks a lot of earthly knowledge and social skills a more rounded or typical background would offer.

Primarily due to her fathers contacts, with time, Anna can acquire covert ops and special force issue equipment but at an inflated price due to having to remain anonymous. Due to  her weakness to Iron, costs for her equipment to be made of aluminium or other alloys inflates the cost even further for her. This has sapped much of her squads wealth, but it has been money well spent if you ask her.


Occupation: Anna has two jobs (See below)

Security Consultant: This is her formal occupation which she does part time to serve followers of New Eden specifically with minimal pay, and other clients at much more inflated rates. Although money from the latter times is excellent, it is far from a full time job, nor is it enough to pay for custom weapons and equipment she uses. Thus her need to moonlight (See below).

Part time Cat burglary: Each Special Forces Squad of New Eden is expected to finance themselves unless they are in dire need for help and Claire and Anna have worked together to focus on extracted money or valuables from rich people that are selfish and cruel to others. This usually involves Claire reading peoples minds in auctions of rare antiques to determine who present is a collector as well as selfish then their residence is scoped and broken into later by Anna while Claire keeps watch listening for peoples thoughts and alerting Anna telepathically when the cause warrants it. Anna makes particular good use of her Shadow form ability during thee times, coupled with her Supernatural Eyesight, and ability to see in the dark without cumbersome night vision googles, she understandably, is excellent at this line of work.

Claire Wralle

Affiliations: Follower of New Eden


General Description: Claire is a classical beauty with a womanly hourglass body, is blonde, has honest brown eyes, and has perfect skin and teeth. She wears no jewellery but always ensures she has fresh breath, is clean and is very well presented. When she is not on missions she exclusively wears white dresses and matching high heels. Claire can change her appearance and gender at will due to an ability (Mask of Many faces) but typically only does so to only change her genitalia between womanhood, to hermaphrodite to futanari depending on her female lover's taste.

Personality: Claire is up beat, quick to laugh and is mostly positive. She is very happy being a loyal follower of New Eden, and specifically likes women, both for company, for friendship and as lovers and work colleagues.

Psychological Quirks: She takes care in staying clean and well presented. Claire is a sucker for eating well, and will happily spend a great deal of money for eating out at impressive restaurants that may be out of her current budget. She also buys designer dresses, shoes, and very expensive perfume.

Likes: Claire mostly is attracted to women. Although she occasionally has sex with men, her heart flutters seeing women of novel or exotic beauty, typically with the intent to sleep with and impregnate them. Like most women she likes the idea of having money, the more she has, the higher quality of life she can indulge in.

Dislikes: Claire is very offended by evil people, sharing much of the dislikes that her long time work colleague Anna Parkley has, and happily will do her bit to liberate their valuables for the "greater good". Claire also dislikes those that abuse drugs and/or those of poor hygiene.
Ons/Offs: Claire is Pansexual (She is turned on by most things, but scat/poo and urine she takes offense too).


Backstory:

Claire always was a gifted telepath, skills that were only increased when she went to a Spiritual Collage. Claire has an incredibly gifted mind for reading others thoughts and speaking to them telepathically, as such she was close to the top of the list of Angels Uranna wanted to recruit. Her skills have several uses for an agent of New Eden.

The first use that takes up a lot of her time is for gaining wealth for her squad. She will attend Auctions to listen to thoughts to pick out targets and later when Anna Parkley breaks into their house, will be a lookout listening to peoples thoughts nearby to give Anna warning of any people that she has to deal with. The second use is for determining those hostile to the Followers of New Eden, her ability to read thoughts of those close by, and knowing their immediate intention, makes her invaluable to avoid or manage engagements with Angels or Demons that seek ill will to her friends and visionaries. The third use is acting as a silent covert squad coordinator. Due to her ability to read others minds at range, as well as telepathically communicate with them, she is the ideal centre-point for intel and coordination for any covert mission. Coupled with her ability to heal wounds, these traits make her incredibly useful in support of all sorts of operations needing specialist skills.


Occupation: Claire has three jobs (See below)

Counsellor:  Claire's formal job is being a therapeutic counsellor for those with marriage and relationship issues. Although very good at her job, it doesn't pay that well, requiring her to supplement her finances with other means (see below).

Pianist: Debatably Claire's most gifted talent is her ability to play the piano. She takes great pleasure in doing so, and as such typically doesn't request payment, or if she does it will be in the form of free meals or change that doesn't go far. To properly finance her lifestyle, she needs to do more (See Cat Burglary below).

Part time Cat burglary: Each Special Forces Squad of New Eden is expected to finance themselves unless they are in dire need for help and Claire and Anna have worked together to focus on extracted money or valuables from rich people that are selfish and cruel to others. This usually involves Claire reading peoples minds in auctions of rare antiques to determine who present is a collector as well as selfish then their residence is scoped and broken into later by Anna while Claire keeps watch listening for peoples thoughts and alerting Anna telepathically when the cause warrants it. Claire has improved her ability to be sensitive to certain peoples thoughts that have specific intentions with these jobs, being able to sense peoples thoughts (if they are what she is looking for) from a range of hundreds of meters.

For those of you reading my characters wondering who Uranna is or what New Eden is, they relate to a subplot called "Followers of New Eden" touched upon above by Esoterica which is being fleshed out in PMS between me (An assistant GM) and the main GMS (Kathyan and Esoterica).

Hopefully it will be written up in this thread for all to see soon.

Ok @Carly, I am not sure if it was covered in PMs or not, but in order to have a Demon Power, you will need to have your Angel take Blood Sorcery. This will mean eliminating one of your powers in order to have the correct number. Blood Sorcery is required to take out of Race Powers.

And your Half Angel is fine to classify as Angel. I dont see any other issues presently.

Kat covered that omission from her critique in pm's - I will work on both characters shortly.

Afterwards you may need to update the section relating to game mechanics for character creation with
Kath's take on major mundane skills.
