  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Okay, well, I want to start a game, composed mostly of good storytellers. I think I'm going to restrict the game to people fourteen and over. Just because most younger kids tend to turn it into a video game. Sorry for those out there that this offends.

Anyway, the game is going to take place in the modern world. It's your typical, Blade-style urban fantasy though, with vampires, werewolves, immortals, mutants, and cyborgs. This is going to inherently be Christian based.

I have the world basics in mind, I'm going to rant those off, then anyone else can enter in and make suggestions. No promises that they will be incorporated, but they definitely will be thought over. So, here goes:

The vampiric condition is the result of a very unique virus, transforming people into superior predators. Vampire bodies cannot create hemoglobin, which is why there is a hunger for blood specifically. Vampirism is transmitted through the draining of most of a victim's blood, and a replacing it with a vampires blood, thereby flooding a weakened immune system with sugar loads of vampiric virus.

Basic immortality and flesh that drives people to violence tends to make people very immoral. Very few lasting consequences of actions from their points of view drives them to do whatever they want. Vampiric bodies are comparable in reflex, strength, and senses to the best animal predators in the world, from the strength of a bear to the reflexes of a cobra to the endurance of a wolf to whatever. Also, vampires have super fast and super capable regenerative abilities, gunshot wounds healed within hours. And vampires are so long lived, a vampire has never died of natural causes, of old age. Not yet. Drugs have the same affect on them as on humans, except no negative side effects, not even physical withdrawal symptoms. STD's are harmless, because the vampiric immune system is nearly unbeatable.

Weaknesses include ultraviolet radiation, and a strong allergic reaction to the whole garlic family, including onions and chives, etc.

Immortals don't age, have heightened senses, and heightened immune systems. That's it.

Werewolves are highly allergic to silver, and have lifespans similar to humans, and are driven into transformation by adrenaline.

Mutants are the product of Cold War genetic engineering on the parts of both America and Russia. Cyborgs are in the same boat.

America has a national agency, kind of like MIB, that run relations with these entities, usually policing. It's called the Department of Preternatural Activities, or DePA.

Sorry, didn't leave much to the imagination. That's why this is the OOC forum. Any input?

Alright, well, ok. The storyline is this. Yes, you can be human, just plain old, normal human. There are what are called vampire Covens, all over the world, as there are two classes of vampire, the loners and the Covens. The loners are just that, and they do feed on the general populace, but do not kill, so as not to attract attention. The Covens are large groups of vampires that work together, probably in possession of tons of money from their long lives of hoarding and such. With their money, they affect the economy, and drive technological change and basically are trying to move towards the place where humans can be their food without fear of the humans over running them. This is why no government will go public. When the public finds out, it'll probably panic, and not only cause a lot of death and destruction on its own, but in reaction to many humans trying to kill them, the vampires will probably defend themselves violently.

So, one Coven specifically, which runs a communications and biotechnology corporation, is trying to use technology and style to manipulate humans towards their own ends.

Now, this is Christian based, I've thought it out. Immortals are people who by their nature are somewhere between a normal human and an angel, that's just what immortality does to you. Vampires are like fallen angels, but not beyond redemption. Werewolves are somewhere between human and animal. Animals are not iherently bad, like humans are, but are built by God to contribute to the ecosystem, which helps humans to flourish. They have their messages from God in their instincts. Cyborgs and mutants are human creations.

So, if we all want to be DePA agents, that's fine, or we can be a smattering of the different kinds of people.

Okay, well, let's look at the initial setup. The Coven is wanting to put a constantly active GPS chip in everyone's cell phone, that way, whenever a vampire is hungry/thirsty, he or she can look up an lonely people wandering nearby. On top of this, there is an entire group of humans who are trying to work their way into vampire hood, and because of the way the Coven works, the vampires have addicted them to a very strongly addictive drug that has no real effects other than causing the body to depend on it to live, thus having a lethal withdrawal effect. This drug is called Vice. Anyway, the vampires are presenting a software program, kind of like the one in the movie The Net, which is all about a computer security system that's really good, but has a loophole in it that the creators use to hack into serious systems and change stuff around and stuff. This network is an antivirus computer system, which records keystrokes and gives access to all kinds of records, and such, allowing the Coven to search for possible people that would be vulnerable to the kind of indentured, addicted servitude that they want from people who would want to be a vampire. So, they have produced these cellphones and security systems that have infringed on the personal rights of the American citizens, and endangered their lives. A whole group of people have been put together by DePA in order to battle this.

Oh yeah, and they're growing vats of cloned human beings to farm blood. Unfortunately, even though they keep these clones drugged for most of their lives, they are still people. And they kidnapp people sometimes, in order to expand their base of blood. And of course, they are vampires, they do hunt people down and kill them, or convert them. There have been some disappearences, which may mean that the Coven is getting a little heady, a little proud of themselves, and not worrying about any government intervention.

And of course, my character: http://www.christianforums.com/t848027

Look, I really want to keep this serious. It can end up being really cool if we do. Good games either come from serious players, or a group of players who just want to make things funny. Both are equally fun. But if one player's trying to be funny, while everyone, or anyone for that matter, is trying to play a serious game, everything can be ruined. So, please, keep it serious.
And let us begin....

it doesn't look like it would work to be Christian based with all the nasties,and even though your banning all us 'kiddies'as you older people love to call us when we're not,it still looks like a video game.And it does upset me.That is all.
