Overview: Obey is an animanga fantasy roleplay with heavy inspirations from Avatar: The Last Airbender and RWBY, along with other inspirations such as Batman: Arkham Kinght just to name a source. It's set in a world abandoned by the gods after mankind learned to manipulate the planetโs natural elements: water, earth, fire, and air. This has been dubbed as
bending with the use of
Natural Energy, as it is considered to be one of the greatest sins as it disrupts the inherent order of nature from destruction. Since the discovery of bending, Earth has been damned with the creation of
Orcus, monsters of destruction that feed off on any living creature thatโs in their way. Mankind has been in a raging war with the Orcus for survival for more than time could tell, and it looks as though the Orcus aren't going extinct any time soon...
Setting: Taken place in a steampunk world with futuristic elements is
Phanes, one of the most, if not the most technologically advanced city in the world. What was once a city that stood with tuning with nature and protecting the natural order has turned into a criminal wonderland as technology became more prominent and advanced. With corporations rising to take advantage of the rise of technology, nobles easily gathering protection from elite criminal syndicates, and the government being blinded by greed for money and status, the natural order has been disrupted. Bending is still strong and apparent in Phanes and the entirety of Earth, but the respect of the natural elements have turned into destructive weapons for dominance.
Ranks: Although it's currently in the works, Obey may follow a light rank stat mechanic. This to mainly determine a bender's strength should a character have the ability to do so. No numbers, no equations, but only a scale to see how well verse a bender is with their element.
Orcus: One of the main conflicts for Obey! Aforementioned, these creatures are monsters of destruction meant to terrorize life itself. Feeding off of all negative emotions, each Orcus has their own classifications and ranks based on said classifications.
Politics: Politics will be a foremost element of Obey as it'll explore the inequality of social classes, exposing the corruption from authority, and the minds of criminals that reside in Phanes.
Factions/Member Groups: While there will be factions, member groups will be based on character "status". This is in case your character may identify as, for example, a criminal, without belonging to an organization.
These are the main points I wanted to get across and give everyone an idea of what to expect from the site! Whenever a major milestone has been crossed towards site completion or a change has been made, expect to see some update posts! Until then, feel free to leave any questions or feedback!
