THE AFTER 9 A long time ago, before the world was in chaos, human kind believed that technology and progress would lead the world into a better place, fill with utopic promises and peaceful futur. The government working and investing a lot of money and time into the robotic industry. Scientist working on many projects, created many devices and prototypes, but one man was at the lead of the robotic world. His most incredible, yet fearsome creation, was a machine, called the Brain. This peculiar device was mind set after the scientist own set of thoughts, the machine was meant for peaceful means, to create other machines after it's own self, suppose to reflect peace and stability. But war spread out and the government took away the scientist and took control of the Brain, using it to create war machines and corrupting it's original functions into evil ones. The machine did as told, until something went wrong...until it became sentient, thanks to how it's creator originally made him, impregnating the core with a part of his own soul. The machines started to rebel, under the command of the Brain, killing any life they saw, any human soul they found. Soon, the world fell into chaos and despair, and slowly, human kind disapeared as the machines took over, killing every last one of them...until finally, someone stopped it, taking out the control device allowing the Brain to function, but it was already too late. The world had become such a desolated and unwelcoming place, that there was no place for the humans to live any longer, they had been long gone. In a last attempt to make life live on, the scientist who made the Brain, created 9 rag dolls, in which he poured his soul into, each of these individuals were the key to make new life. But it wasn't easy, the scientist died after making Nine, which was to be the last one to be made for the survival for the human life. But some machines were still roaming the world and chase them, they fought a great battle against the Brain, which was reactivated, sadly by mistake by Nine. To this, they lost many of their friends, in the end, only Nine, Seven, Three and Four remained. Managing to release the souls of the others, the world started to turn anew, but to a great price... But, they weren't alone...more of them had been made, unknown to the scientist, someone else, stealing his plan, manage to do the same, implanting his soul into small rag doll he built, but they had yet to awoken into the world, until finally, it started to rain...but something else as also awoken...but what?... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The After 9 Setting: Post-Apocalyptic Players: 3-4 Stone count: 20 + 10 + 5 (Base+challenge+fun actions) Hi guys! So this game is set a few years after Nine and his friends manage to defeat the Machines. It is based on the movie 9, from Tim Burton. Basically, you will be playing as Rag dolls, small machines created by a scientist from whom you got a fragment of human soul. As the world is slowly trying to get back on it's feet, more challenges are coming your way. Can you fight your way into a world of dismantled chaos and forbidden peace? About rag dolls: They are usually named after a number, like the first heroes, One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight and Nine. I'd like to keep the same mindset here, tough it doesn't have to be a number, it could be a stone (Emerald, Saphir, Ruby, Citrine), a season (Summer, Winter, Autumn, Spring), a weather (Rain, Snow, Cloud, Storm) etc, we can decided later on a theme! They are also very resilient and possess their own personality. They differ in appearance, except that they are, at the base, rag dolls. Only a few inch high, they possess various abilities that will be listed down below, that you can buy if you so wishes, once I get enough interest for this game! So! If you have any questions, feel free to ask! And hopefully I'll get enough people to start this! I got a very good feeling about this one! Thank you!

I like/disliked this movie when I saw it back when it came out. I can't remember everything about it at the moment, but I'd like to see where this could go.

I've never seen the movie so I'm not entirely sure what's going on in the game but it's a Tom Burton movie about rag dolls fighting robots right? If so, I'm sure I can come up with something for it, tho I may need a little GM assistance.

Well, if you've read the intro, you should get a good idea of it, but the deep story is a little more then just rag doll fighting robot, but to put it simply yes, ha ha.

Alright, I've got my set of players
Ushima Dionon Gris
You are all in since I personally invited you to this game, but for Ridiculousninja and SenseiSuplex, I'll ask for a RP sample for the last spot!
Then we can choose a theme for the characters names and go on with character creation!

It looks like SenseiSuplex decided to leave his spot, so the players are gonna be
Ushima Dionon Gris Ridiculousninja
Congratulation!
And I forgot to answer your question, yes other actions such as close combat, range combat, thieving, and the such will be available. The only thing not available are magical powers, unless you can explain it physically like Hypnosis, which can be explained as your character possess stroboscopic eyes or something.
Now then, the only thing left is to vote on a theme for the names and make the characters! Don't hesitate if you have questions, we'll be using the same rules as Manah for buying Abilities, meaning, everything is bought separately.
Here are the Theme I thought of, feel free to add a suggestion and I'll put a poll for vote when the board is up. (Hi Dionon! I'll send you a pm with the details)
Precious stones (Emerald, Saphir, Ruby, Citrine) Can be other stones as well, those are just exemple Weather (Rain, Snow, Storm, Cloud) Again, can be something else related Alphabet (A,B,C,D....You get the gist of it) Season (Summer, Spring, Autumn, Winter) Planets (Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Uranus, Pluto, Saturn, etc)
etc and so on!

Since we need 9 names I think Seasons would be out... Planets seem to Sailor Moon for this game... Unless we get badass transformations...
Perhaps Colors?
Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet Black White
Or perhaps DnD Classes that reflect our theme?
