Hello everybody! Secrets Of The Seeds will be getting it's final reboot. And I sure hope it does not disappoint or die.
This will have SoTS 1, 2 and Mirror Crusade mixed all together, but changed to offer more quality. It will be in a place where it won't be alien to the veterans, but it won't be predictable either.
Introduction
In the primal and ice age, an alien race of plants had visited humanity. They formed a pact, where in humans had allowed the alien life to plant their Seeds into the corners of the Earth. In exchange, humanity was offered what in modern day, is known as the Plants who fend off the undead hordes.
And organization called Emerald Leaf had recovered many books from the ancient times, and despite all their differences, they all had one thing in common. That they all spoke of an ancient race outside the Earth... And that they shall return to reap what they had sown. Despite different in style, they all predict that an extinction is most likely to occur.
And so it began. Emerald Leaf had prepared for the rapture by having humanity's mind pass on to the same plants of which the alien race had given. And also, had they brought back to life the extinct Frostbolt Shooter and many others.
The humans who refused the offer eventually became zombies, or are in hiding. The genius who proposed the idea however, wanted to remain a human, and died in his tomb with a seedling. It is unknown whether he was afflicted by reanimation.
Fast forward by centuries, Emerald Leaf, now run by plants, had decided to begin the hunt for where are the Seeds. The biggest hint to when the rapture is, is an ancient calendar that marks 3017 as the last year. And what year is it now? 3017.
Many other forces are also at work, seeking to find the seeds from all across the globe, with different motives. However, this "alien race", the origin of sentient plants, has come down earlier than expected. Who will get their hands on the Seeds first, shall determine the outcome of the biggest event in both plant and zombie history.
Character Creation
The setting is semi futuristic with a bit of fantasy, keep that in mind.
Name:
Age:
Plant/Zombie Type: (Customs are allowed, but have a few characters be species from the canon, please.)
Alignment: (See below)
Background: (What happened to them before the story, a little about them and maybe some personality hints? Make these consistent to the character though)
Skills/Equipment: As many as you like but don't get overpowered.:
Rules
- The basics, such as no OP/UP, no disrespecting of other users, no using of others' characters without permission. You know, that stuff?
- RNG is only allowed at Thread 3. Each user can give a character plot armor, but only two. They can get more plot armor every 3 threads, where they can give another character one plot armor. However, veterans from any for the three SoTS before this will be given an extra plot armor to use up.
- Every character is immune to RNG for the thread they are introduced in. After that, they are prone to death. So, if your character was made in Thread 4, they'll be immune to RNG but won't be in Thread 5.
- Don't stray away too much from the general idea of the plot. I can allow users creating their own in story groups but make sure they are still connected to the story.
Alignments
Characters will have to pick a side eventually, or just stay neutral. I have 3 starting sides to choose but there will be more as time goes on. If a character wants to switch sides, they can choose to betray their side (If they have one.) Betrayal is not really needed when the groups are friends.
1. Emerald Leaf: An agency that wishes to preserve Earthly life from "the rapture" as described in historic books. If you are so noble, you can join Emerald Leaf in the race for the Seeds, and the secrets they contain. Despite the name, they are willing to recruit undead.
2. Onyx Tomb: A criminal league orchestrated by an undead supreme leader. Onyx Tomb does what it does for their own profit, and are distrustful of Emerald Leaf. They are aware that Emerald Leaf has secrets of it's own. That's what led to them joining in on the race for the seeds.
3. Crusaders' Hand: Sent by the alien race dubbed as Mythicals. Crusaders' Hand is to harvest the Seeds they themselves had scattered. If a character starts with this Alignment, they are automatically a Mythical themselves. Those who betray their groups for the Crusaders' Hand will stay as they are, but they can be given augments (improvements). Crusaders' Hand are sort of the antagonists, but they won't be the only ones, I assure.
4. Vines of Punishment: (Made by LonelyHydreigon) A mercenary group founded by Jackie, Psyke and Fange. They were paid to find The Seeds and get them.
If you'd like, you can make your own alignments in the story. You have to tell me about them, such as their description and motives.
The Cast
1. Nevada: One of many "extinct" plant types brought back to existence, specifically the Frostbolt Shooter. Nevada is enthusiastic, wanting to have as many friends and to be someone great. He had classes with how to use his frostbolt as both a javelin and as ammunition, but he isn't really good at that. 19 years old and doesn't really have anything amazing to talk about with his backstory. His life was simply school/work and frostbolt practice. He can be found at junkyards, using his frostbolts on metals or just looking around for treasures.
2. Nina Heartscrow: Raised to be taught the arts of execution and thievery and was tasked to steal one of the world's largest diamonds. The Nightshade was caught, and her parents found out, thus she was disowned. With nobody to care for her, she salvages as much as she can, thievery or not. Her grappling hook and bow is her protection.
3. Psyke: An artificially made Ghost Pepper by an ancient zombie, Immortica. She was awakened by a corrupt Emerald Leaf member who wanted to make her a perfect weapon. She escaped from him and became an assassin for hire. Later on, she formed the Vines of Punishment, a mercenary team that she helped form and was paid to find the seeds.
4. Fange: A Vampire Flower that lived a normal life until she snapped at the age of 14 and went insane. She was put in a mental institution but was freed 3 years later. She formed the Vines of Punishment with Psyke and Jackie eventually.
5. Jackie: An orphan who was abused at the orphanage. She ran away and found sanctuary with an infamous Pumpkin mercenary named Cal. Cal took pity on her and raised Jackie. She grew up and eventually became a mercenary like him. She later formed the Vines Of Punishment. She is the oldest among the three members, being 30 years old.
6. Carl Sarno "Abra": A Witch Hazel who prefers the title of Warlock Hazel, because he cannot turn anything into a puff-shroom, and he was made a laughing stock till he left his town. He is searching for a way to fix his magic problem.
7. Oreigon: Oreigon lived a normal live, raised by shadow plants, until the fateful day he was stolen from his family. There, he became subjected to many painful experiments. They beat his right eye out, resulting in a biotic replacement, his body structure was altered drastically, numbing his emotions to an extent and making him immune to body infections like poison. However, before they could go any farther, he snapped and fatally wounded one of the doctors and he escaped. After hearing about Emerald Leaf and their goals, he decided to join them, with small hope that it would restore his old life.
