  • 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.

The year is 2012.

The technology age has reached an all-time high, and new technology allows for undersea exploration like never before.

No place in the ocean is safe from discovery any longer. Sonar waves, aimed into the Mariana Trench, have discovered an extremely large, moving object down below. The object moves at immense speeds in and around the trench. The United States government leaped at the chance to send a submarine down to investigate.

A group of scientists, made up of biologists, paleontologists, chemists, and the like, journeyed down to the bottom of the sea in a military sub to find the object. What they found was not what was expected.

Prologue

"Captain Lonwai, please respond. Captain Lonwai. Please respond!"

"We-- the object-- huge-- coming to-- face-- avoid sinking--"

The radio speaker went wild with screaming, and then there was only static. "Captain Lonwai! Captain Lonwai please respond! Sir, there's no answer." The general aboard the ship looked out at the water from the deck. "Report the coast," he ordered. "I want to find out what happened down--"

Before the general could finish, the submarine emerged. But something was indeed very wrong-- for the submarine did not float up, but it flew up, hundreds of feet into the air. The sub broke into pieces in midair before colliding with the water. "Sir! Object is coming from the trench to the sur--" All speaking stopped.

Everyone was silent. Before them, something emerged from the water which moments ago had been nothing but the stuff of legends. What rose from the depths challenged their very view of the entire world. The scaly, serpentine beast's long neck stood two hundred feet, erect in the air. The beast screeched, nearly deafening everyone onboard.

"It's a dragon!" someone shouted down below.

"No," someone else yelled back, "It's the leviathan!"


*************************************************


That's the beginning of the plot. I thought this would be a cool "what-if" RPG. What if the unstoppable creature in the Bible, called leviathan, was suddenly discovered to be alive and kicking?

I don't know if anyone else will like this idea, frankly because it's a modern RPG, but I thought I'd give it a try. I like the idea.

And the logo sucks, I know, I just like the fire. :D

So... anyone?

When I read your opening post it reminded me of it. It's about a fish whose meat is a legendary prize, and so it is hunted. It's like the wyrm from myth...a fire-breathing eel-like thing.

Anyway, the main question that occupies my mind at the moment is what is the story? Is the creature going to be hunted? Or run from?

SWEET pics btw :D

I've never read that story that I remember, but I DO remember hearing about it.

Both. I don't want to spell out the entire story, that'd be no fun. :p

But the basic gist of the story is, this thing is the last of its kind, and it's thrown the world into a bouncing ball of chaos. Scientists want to capture and study it, the military wants to destroy it, the government wants to cover it up, the population sits amazed at it, news media wants to exploit it, creationists claim it as proof of the Bible and evolutionists claim it as proof of evolutionary advancement. Everyone has their own opinion as to "What do we do about the big fire-breathing sea lizard, and what does this mean for the world?"

During the RP, I'd love to have different kinds of characters, each bringing their own opinion of what it is and what to do with it. Soldiers, journalists, creationists, evolutionists, children, scientists... if something like this popped its head out of the sea for all the world to notice, everyone would be in a rush to get their agenda published. Some shout "Kill it!" Others shout "Leave it alone!" And others shout "Put it in a zoo!"

Is that what you're looking for, or are you looking for specifics on what the characters will be doing? In an RPG like this, that depends on the characters. Though, no doubt, we'll be coming in contact with the last leviathan.

I love those pics. :D

That answered what I wanted to know. I am trying to figure out what kind of character to come up with...It's a lot easier to write a character for a medieval genre than a modern or futuristic. Hmm. A challenge worth my time....Lets see...whats the first thing I think of?........Reporter!

Hmm. What if I play a reporter that wanted to get on a boat to come get some pictures of these phenomenon?

It's your character. If you can realistically get your reporter on the boat, he's there.

Heck, if you want to, you could even have your reporter on the military boat that saw the leviathan, filming it. I mean, we do need some footage of the thing so the world doesn't just think the US military is full of a bunch of crazies, y'know? :p

I'll end up playing either a creation- or evolution-believing biologist. Probably the latter.

Sweeeet :D But aren't you a little young to be playing grandma? :p

Thanks :) Oh I just punch things into google in image search and see what I get. For that one I think I searched for male head or somethin like that. I like to put pictures in all of my bios, just because I'm weird like that. If my scanner worked, I'd draw my own pics...and maybe some for my card game. Oh, I've been meaning to ask you...where did you get the text pictures for "Last Leviathan"?
