User blog:IndyRevolution/New IRC RP

Gonna rip your format off a bit here, Lancer. “Imitation is flattery” or whatever excuse lazy people use.

The plan for this setting would be an IRC RP at some point in the (hopefully) near-future. Same style as Lancer’s, as I said before.

So yeah guys, please, lemme know if you’re interested down below, and tell me any questions you have. Answering them will help me flesh this out.

Remember My NameBold text is an RP set on the colony of Ramaya after the events of Halo 4, starting in the spring of 2558. After the loss of both the Didact, his flagship, and their homeworld, the Prometheans have scattered. Most seem to have pledged themselves to Jul ‘Mdama, but others appear...elsewhere.

Within the many caverns honeycombed throughout the crust of Ramaya, they lurk. Their purpose there is unknown, but for some reason or another, an urgent distress signal has been sent out to the UNSC regarding their presence on the planet.

On its surface, the notoriously isolationist House of Byf that forms the planet’s government has done something unexpected - they are throwing a celebration. Dozens of ships of all kinds streak to the planet, carrying merchants, journalists, businessmen - and stowaways. The UNSC has answered the call.

The motives of the Prometheans, of the UNSC, and of the nobility remain unclear. All that is clear is that something lies within the planet, and that blood is willing to be shed for it.

Factions

The House of Byf

Reach for the Stars. Despite those being the words of the “Tigers of Rama”, as they are so called, this family seems content to keep itself and its people on the ground of their beloved colony. While they are nominally under the control of the UNSC, the fact that they can run a semi-feudal government in the 26th century explains enough about how much control the UNSC truly has here. Despite being incredibly isolationist for over 5 decades, they have recently opened the planet up to a limited number of ships in celebration to the eldest Prince’s upcoming marriage. Despite their notorious secrecy and mystery, they are well loved by the planet’s population. They see the opening of their borders as a gesture of goodwill, and might not take kindly if they discover agents hiding in their midst…  Insurrectionists

In subway halls and tenement halls, symbols are left in the graffiti. A winged double-diamond. Due to the isolated nature of the colony, it comes as no surprise that Innies have come to call it home. Most of them rally under the banner of “The Diamond Hussars”, the planet’s local rebel group, who hate the Byfs and their feudal ways with a seething passion, making bases within the planet’s caverns and wherever else they can hide, shoring up supplies. And of course, there could always be other groups hiding away in the planet, as well as whoever might decide to come with the ships…  UNSC

The number of active UNSC spooks on Ramaya can be counted on a single hand. Byfs don’t take well to strangers in their midst, and the UNSC has learned to leave them well enough alone. But now, an urgent signal calls them to the planet. On the ships reside various UNSC agents of any and all capacity, some under civilian identities, some hiding in crates, and some possibly in plain sight. All of them are ready to answer the call for help. Of course, discretion is key here, lest they wish to be caught in the tiger’s teeth…

What better place to run than a sovereign colony, with open tunnels right at your fingertips? Needless to say, the colony’s tunnels house all sorts of people, with all sorts of affiliations. And, as said before, there are always those coming for the celebration...  Prometheans

The robotic monstrosities stalk through the tunnels of the planet now, searching for something. Not many know they’re there. Those that do rarely survive, and if they do, they rarely talk about it. But they’re there. Always there.
