Master of Puppets OT
Set in the distant futue, the entire world is ruled by the great King Inoch. The world seems to be a wonderful place. With a large variety of locations and beautiful tourist sites, earth has turned into one massive paradise. But the world is much darker than it appears. A scientist by the name of Geppetto has kidnapped children and young adults and through science, taken away their volution. They have a sort of "curse" that makes them do whatever they are told. They have no control over their bodies except for when they are given an order.
Geppetto sells his "Puppets" to the wealthy families of earth. The children and teens are then the servants of whoever their master is until they become the age of 21. At the exact moment they physically reach the age of 21 the chip placed in their body sends a shock through the host. Killing it. (There are certain exeptions to this rule but that is for another time.)
An organization had caught on to Geppetto's scheme however. "The Blue Stars". Their objective was to free all the puppets using a counter chip that was small enough that could be put in the blood. They went to hundreds of puppets and set them free, but Geppetto outsmarted them. He sent one of his personal puppets to sabotage the Blue Stars. The puppet replaced the counter chips with a false chip that released toxins when put into the bloodstream. Then tore down the Blue Stars from the inside.
So the actuall RPG will be about the puppets that were "Cut" and their journey to find out who Geppetto is, and how to Destroy him. I plan on so many Twists throughout the game. A shocking amount of the population on this earth are puppets under Geppetto's control. The "Cut" will have to deal with being human again, learning to be normal, and how to survive in the Beautiful but sinister world.
Quick thing on the Puppets. They do not have "Powers" but part of the transformation of turning into a puppet, is increased durability to damage, fire, cuts, electricity etc. etc. They also could have learned how to wield a sword or gun while they were puppets. (So any ability they may have learned as puppets has carried on into "cut" life.
That's pretty much the gist of it. Toy Soldiers are going to be in it, Geppetto's personal collection of puppets would be what these Soldiers are. Plus, there will be tribute to the actuall movie. A bar that will be mentioned will be called the "Pranksters Paradise." and one of the mega-ships that King Inoch will have (In case of a rebellion) will be called the "Monstro". The actual Army of the world will come into play if the game lasts for a while. I hope to keep this a relatively small game. Two characters per person. (I will play Geppetto. But since he won't be needed until later I'll still have 2 other characters.) I plan on having one or two human(s) helping the "Cut" on their journey.
Alrighty. I got this up. ^_^
If this generates enough interest, I'll post a character skeleton.
towr
Name: Marionn Taylen
Age: 19
Personality: Even without a chip, she's like a soldier. Give her a task, and she'll do it. She can come off as a Jerk, but she does care. A little bit.
Bio: Marionn was on a vacation in Toronto when she was four years old. She was kidnapped and taken to Chicago, Geppetto's home base, and after all the testing, was sold to the Elliot family. The Elliot family children always wanted entertainment, So they told Marionn to do flips and tricks for them. And she did them easily without any prior training. She was "asleep" when the Blue Star came in and gave her the order to come with her. When she got to the Blue Star warehouse she had the chip removed and given a make-shift room. She has spent the last few days catching up on the current world and learning about Geppetos evil scheme.
Extra: She was told to act like a gymnast in her home, so she is an amazing acrobat.
Appearence:Attachment 4717
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _______________________________
Name: Clayton Turtle
Age: 20
Personality: Loud, Obnoxious and way too arrogant. He does have a sweet side, but it's very hard to get to.
Bio: Clayton was never a puppet. He lived a normal life in a sleepy town in New Mexico until he turned 16. He had a very judgmental father that would get angry at even the slightest slip-up. He then ran away from his home on the eve of his 16th birthday. Using the money he took from his father, he was able to get to Colorado and found a job at a restaurant and stayed there for awhile. After 4 years in Colorado he still works at a restaurant but can't help but wish for something better to happen.
Extra: None
Appearance: 2117693_3675075.jpg
(I'll post Geppetto Later.)
Bladebearer
Name: Fakir Ra
Age: 15
Personality: Hard as nails, ruthless, quiet
Bio: Fakir was bought by a type of Mafia boss. He was used as an assassin for hire. Being a child, no one suspected him. Little did he know that he'd be sent to kill a member of Blue Star. Instead of taking him out, Fakir was liberated.
Extra: Has ninja skills.

purplemunster94
Name: Landri Jenkins
Age: 18
Appearance: LOOK!
Personality: Landri comes across as needy and sometimes annoying. She is always trying to find approval, or serve someone. She has an issue with pretty much every other girl that she comes in contact with, because she was always taught that all women were trying to be better than her. She has had a hard time adjusting to being “cut” and having actual feelings and her own thoughts. She likes being human, but she is afraid of not being able to do things on her own.
Bio: Landri was pretty much born to become a puppet. She was born to be given to a group of people who turn puppets into a superior line of women, making them perfect wives. They are taught to play music, cook, clean, and what not. At a very young age they are sold as wives, very similar to mail order brides, but to an extreme. These men are very prominent men in the communities and use the girls to serve them without question or hesitation. Landri had been with her “husband” for only 2 years, when she was found by the blue stars. They changed her and since then she feels that she can’t function on her own and has to find someone to serve. She finds herself working in the kitchen at the rebellion, or doing any normal household chores.
Extra: Landri isn’t good at combat of any kind, but she is good at nursing, cooking, and anything that has to do with being “the perfect bride.”

Name: Lliira
Age: 18
Personality: Lliira's "default" personality is quiet and unassuming, gentle and obedient. She turned out to have "excessive" curiosity for a Puppet, but it was not considered a significant problem. As a Mark II (see below), she can be ordered to adopt any one of a selection of personalities (Shy, Stoic, Joyful, Charismatic, Fearful, etc.) from a menu conditioned into her. She can also be made to suffer extreme agony without making a sound, so that her masters do not have to be subjected to the "indignity" of hearing her cries. Lliira has always been a Puppet. Thanks to her conditioning she views herself as an instrument meant to serve, rather than as a person. She literally does not know the meaning of freedom or individuality.
Bio: Lliira is a "Mark II" Puppet, genetically engineered and vat-grown to be the ideal high-end luxury Puppet and status symbol for the super-rich and the powerful. She was decanted at a biological age of six, implanted with the latest Puppetry cybernetics, and conditioned for service. At the age of 12, she was sold to an extremely wealthy family, where she served as a personal attendant for the lady of the house, chef, and entertainer. When she was 18, she was brought on a cruise aboard her owners' new luxury airship. It was during this voyage that the Blue Stars raided the ship, killed her owners, "Cut" Lliira and took her away before causing the airship to crash. They resorted to such rare and extreme measures because it was the only way they could get a hold of a Mark II without "it" being reported stolen. They hoped that Lliira would be able to infiltrate areas other Puppets could not. Her distinctive appearance as a Mark II would automatically mark her as the possession of very high-status individuals, thus likely to be subjected to less scrutiny by Toy Soldiers and security personnel, or lend credence to another agent disguised as a general or politician.
This is a risky strategy however, as Lliira has never known freedom or true humanity, and there was doubt among the Blue Star leadership that she could be trusted to sincerely join the rebellion.
Extra:
Lliira has an inhumanly beautiful singing voice, and can dance with uncanny grace. She is a five-star chef, and also highly skilled at giving makeovers and selecting tasteful fashions for a Mistress. She can also provide home decoration services. Lliira has no combat skills or aptitude. If attacked, she will do what she can to prevent serious damage, but she will not fight back against the attacker. She may develop the ability to fight over time, but it will go against every fiber of her being to try.

(I only posted characters as everything else was irrelevant.)
Sooo Master Of Puppets is Open yet again.
