Destroying the world is fun, destroying the universe repeatedly is more fun.  What's more, you can do it for a good cause!

Four to Six players will visit various time periods, starting with grand galactic warfare and ending with primordial soup, and destroy the human race for it's own good.  Repeatedly.  In a nutshell, the players are taking a Really Evil Thing to an alternate timeline where there are no humans.  You will have really big guns to accomplish this with.

I'll update every night at midnight EST, which is 5AM GMT, unless several players have yet to post.

This will be my first time running a RTD, but I have experience with tabletop and some IRC RP (#scratchrp).

Mission Briefing:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

An arctic expedition recently uncovered the source of all evil.  Turns out it's a small shimmering cube, about the size of an ice cube.  It appears to be completely indestructible, and believe me, we tried to destroy it.  Beyond being responsible for all suffering in the universe, it's actually quite safe to handle.

So how do we save the universe from the cube's evil?  Time travel.  Carry the cube back to an important period in history, doom humanity, then continue earlier to the next important period.  How exactly you crush humanity is up to you, be resourceful. 

How does this help anything, you ask?  You're carrying the source of all evil out of our branch of the timeline, into a branch where there are no humans left to suffer.  If you picture the timeline as a tree, your mission is to peel a strip of bark off one of the branches. 

Look, the details don't matter - what's important is that you get to annihilate humanity, repeatedly, for it's own good.  We're even giving you some neat toys to work with, given the importance of the mission.  You'll be piloting a state-of-the-art battle fortress, the Pyrrhus, formerly known as the second moon of Procyon III.  It's powered by matter-antimatter annihilation, facilitated by the most efficient MD yet discovered.  (MD stands for Maxwell's Demon).  You won't be running out of power - in fact you'll produce enough excess antimatter to shatter Earth hundreds of times per day.

The one thing the ship can't have, is crew.  The Committee for Getting Rid Of Evil debated long and hard the question: is it ethical to risk even one person being stuck with the ultimate evil, if it ends suffering for everyone else?  They eventually found that yes, it's definitely ethical, but only if you risk less than seven people.  Keep in mind that you should be able to return to your own time no problem, and enjoy paradise with the rest of us.  Committees just like to feel important by debating hypotheticals.

Basically I just screwed around. But I am serious about wanting to play.

EDIT: Forgot Unskill, hold on.

Im not certain about it, but since im obviously goin dragon like, how does puff sound for a humerous callsighn?

Sounds great.

In a game with so few rules, I'm expecting things to be a bit zany.  While I'm fond of the time-travel backstory I made, this isn't the grimdark universe where there is only war.  This the sort of universe that a small band of misfits can and will wreak havoc upon.

If that doesn't make sense, it's 4:18AM where I'm at.  I have to work for my job at whatever hour I'm inspired, sigh.

Also yes, unskill is just something the character is particularly bad at.  Mainly for character-depth purposes.  Obviously someone could choose to be bad at eating pizza or something, and if they roleplay that interestingly?  I won't mind.

ok then rolan, i know its not grimdark, i just wanted to be a power-armoured dragon, il modify my origional post to include callsign

That's three players already, looking for another 2-3.  Updated the status post with... your statuses!

Don't worry, I just mean that the universe doesn't take itself too seriously.  The characters are going to be generally powerful due to their high-technology upbringing, and their selection for this mission.

I'm pleasantly surprised, we already have 5 players!  There's room for one more, but five should be plenty, so let's get a turn 0 going.


The ceremony was... ceremonial.  The public thinks you're carrying the cube to a nearby black hole, they have no idea how bloody your mission is.  Consequently the speeches were completely without substance: politicians trying to claim credit for the perfect existence you're bringing them.  At least it's over. 

Then again, the five of you are now stuck in a rather small elevator, 5 kilometers above the Pacific Orbital Relay Commuter Hub.  The trip to orbit supposedly takes half an hour, but it always feels longer.  The awkward silence isn't helping - you've received cursory briefings on your companions, but you have yet to properly meet.  Now is probably a good time.

Once you arrive and get situated in Pyrrhus, your first assignment will be to travel a billion years into the future.  Scans indicate that humanity is still around as the universe dies from heat death in roughly 10^100 years.  This means that at some point, humanity breaks out of the endless cycle of war and peace, forming a stable society.  The nature of this society is unknown, we only know that it persists.  In order to carry the cube to a universe without humanity, your team must break this peace.


Post actions in bold, if you would.  Not much to do yet, just have your characters interact.  The view out the window might be nice.  Deadline for this semi-turn is, as usual, midnight EST (8 hours from now).

INSTANT DEATH has to be in capitals, by the way.

Naturally!

(If you dont know I am a robot based off agias from Persona 3)

I haven't played Persona, but I understand the premise.  Will you be "evoking" with that grenade launcher? (;
