Neo Terra

It has been an eternity since they came. Great mountains that fell from the sky carrying doom within them. The Empires of the past used weapons of immense destruction to finally drive them back and defeat them, but they themselves were destroyed by their own weapons.

The World was forever changed. The monsters that came from the sky still roam the Earth, some great, some small, but always dangerous. Few monsters are ever alike. They are the products of man's worst nightmares. Fast, intelligent, and always hungry.

The World is a ruined wasteland, the clouds of poison released by the Ancients in their desperate defense still linger over the world. Their great cities standing in solemn reminder of humanity's past greatness.

Humanity still survives amidst their ruins however, and nations have emerged from the ruin time and again, but they never last. Few things last in Neo Terra.

Welcome to Neo Terra, a Massive cross-platform RTD years in the making. The Lore behind this game has been hammered out over the years in the Discord. We are still in the process of world building, but we have decided to finally start this long awaited Game once again.

The Game will take place mostly on the Discord, but this thread will be updated with each turn for those who don't wish to join and to merely spectate. The Game has already started and a Prologue has already been played and finished. Anyone wishing to join the gameplay still can, just head on to the Discord and create a Character Sheet.

We also are in the Process of creating a Wiki for this Vast World we have built, feel free to check it out and help with the upkeep: Wiki Link

Physical Description: Taller than average, and thin. Has perpetual oil stains, especially on his hands.
Backstory: Sendirin was a member a small community that had based itself out of some of the ruins in the Rift, or at least, he started that way. He had an affinity for working with the ancient scraps and artifacts that the hunting parties would sometimes bring back, and when he came of age, he began to go out with them. However, on one hunt, they were attacked by raiders from a rival clan. Sendirin only barely escaped, pretending to be dead so that he'd be ignored. The raiders left, taking the navigator's map, and going toward home.

Prologue

Spoiler: Mission Brief (click to show/hide)

We have detected a strange energy reading from far side of the moon. We are sending your team to locate the reading and report back immediately with your findings. Communications with Tranquility will be lost once you cross into the Dark Side, so be urgent about it.

LDF Command Out

The Three of you are sitting in the cockpit of your Raven Class Interceptor speeding across the Lunar surface. Soon you pass into the dark zone and your communications with Home are severed until you cross back or the Station orbits overhead from time to time.

As your Interceptor flies over the terrain, one of you thinks you notice something on the Scans so you call it out.

Roll for Perception

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Roll: 6

Spades catches it instantly and identifies it as a strange asteroid. You identify it as the strange energy signature and turn towards it. After a few minutes, it comes into view as a black blotch against the starry sky.

You come close to the Asteroid and instantly feel something off about it. You can either explore it on foot and wait for the station to pass overhead, or head back to base and report your preliminary findings.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Investigate Further

After debating what to do, you all agree that it would be prudent to investigate further. As you land in front of what looks like an opening, you run checks on your suits and put on your helmets. As the Screen Displays start booting, you feel the ship land on the soft ground.

Once your suits are fully online, you lower the Ramp and grab your rifles. You make your descent down onto the ground and you now truly grasp the size of the Asteroid, towering over you like a black mountain. You slowly begin walking in through the opening, being careful to check your sensors.

Perception Check

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Roll: 6

You scan the surrounding area and what you find scares you, even after hours in the simulator, you aren't prepared for the horrifying faces that stare at you, frozen in a snarl. All around you, there are monstrosities of various sizes and shapes, all with far more teeth than any living creature should possibly have need for.

After recoiling from shock, you scan for life signs and nothing but you four come back on your Displays. Then you feel it, at first you thought it was just you, but then it gets noticeably stronger and the ground begins to shake as you feel the unmistakable feel of something large coming directly at you from one of the many tunnels that connect to the chamber you are in.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Run

You all quickly decide that you have overstayed your visit and turn around to run out of the chamber back onto the Lunar surface.

Roll for Agility

As you all turn to run, you realize just how far down you came.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Annabel Rolls: 2

As Annabel turns to run, she trips over something and twists her ankle and tumbles down onto the floor of the chamber. The rest of you hear her final screams of terror as her radio transmission is cut off and her life signs flatline on your displays.

(Jacks roll: 5,6)

You two, filled with fear and adrenaline now coursing through your veins, manage to make it out. You all scramble up the ramp onto your Interceptor and in your panic, begin your ascent...

Dexterity Check

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Spades Roles: 4

The Interceptor Lurches to one side and a giant claw tears through the side of the cabin. Spades, quickly thinking, pushes the Interceptor to full throttle and does a corkscrew. The Claw quickly falls out of the Cabin and the ship lurches up one again.

In the glare of the red warning lights, the two of you fall into your seats shocked and unable to form coherent thoughts. As you race off towards home, you notice your fuel line has been cut and is steadily losing pressure. You hope that you have enough to make it home, lest you risk a crash landing and the long trek home in the dark....

Watching the shiny slender ship speed away, a pair of red eyes watch and then quickly begin to run after its new prey.
