*gamer voice* ARKNIGHTS. No but all their ... weird, advertisement aside the setting of Arknights is actually close to one I've been wanting to set a site in for a while, it just adds, well, catgirls I guess. As a basic overview: Arknights is set in a futuristic alternate world where Catastrophes, the common name of a collection of devastating natural disasters of unheard of destructive power, have completely changed the way the world functions. Cities now move, massive crawling islands across the countryside, constantly orbiting their territories to avoid these storms of devastation. And in the wake of these storms perhaps the most curious of artifacts is left behind: Originium, a semi-transparent black crystal charged with power and combustible energy. Originium has changed both warfare and power sources, being a source of both the ammunition used in guns, making firearms very rare, something that a user can draw magical energy from to increase their arts power, and even harnessing its combustible energy for small combustion engines akin to nuclear reactors. Perhaps the most important thing is increased exposure to Originium can result in Oripathy, a disease where the material actually grows in or on a person, currently resulting in a 100% mortality rate. Individuals with Oripathy are often segregated and discriminated against due to this. Also there's like, 26 different races from catgirls to bunny girls to literal angels with halos and demons with horns, so like, there's something for everyone. Now I'm thinking of taking the setting and the basic groups and creating a original storyline more focused on finding a cure for the disease, stopping the uprising of a rouge group known as Reunion, and general shenanigans, removing the established characters in the mobile game and the story within, since it follows a single character.
So members would make either civilians or Operators, aka members of various defense or research groups ranging from Rhine Labs intent on studying Originium, sometimes in deep black-lab unethical research facilities, or Rhodes Island, who aim to provide a safe haven for the infected and eventually cure Oripathy. There's also Penguin Logistics, a company known both for their information brokers and their delivery agents, able to deliver anything and everything across any terrain or battlefield. And several others, all with their own goals and directives. It would be very character-driven with site events pushing forward those user created plot points and introducing new ones. I haven't gotten much past basic set up done, it's been more of a pet project the last month or so, but I'm sort of at the point where I would like to see if there's enough interest to make it viable. It'll be on jcink and animanga FCs. |
