Harbinger is a plot brainstormed by myself, @Romanov, and @Dante. The plot is inspired by this year's Halloween event the Zombie Apocalypse and will use that event as a backdrop. Although the main story will be keyed to several characters there will be plenty of opportunity for others to be dragged in through associations, mystic ability, knowledge of artifacts, or possibly even having possession of items key to the story. Even if not directly involved with the main story, character interaction with the Zombie Apocalypse itself all helps to flesh out the continuity of the event.

Harbinger is intended as a community participation plot. Many characters, from across the community, could potentially become involved either in the main story or as a periphery element. However, although we wish to keep the plot open for participation some actions will not be condoned within this plot including the godmodding of other characters, and of the protagonist factions.

As for what the plot is about? Well at it's grass roots level Britanic, long thought dead, returns from exile in the netherworld, accidently weakening the dimensional barriers providing an opportunity for Romanov to unleash chaos on Paragon while he attempts to steal a number of powerful artifacts. However once things start moving other aspects of the plot will be revealed

As well as the actual Harbinger thread there will be a Harbinger page on the Union Wiki, much in the same vein as the one I did for Supremacy.

Any Interested parties should contact any of the three plot moderators, or post up here to help best determine how you might get involved.

Happy to be a keeper of an artifact. Infinitron (Joseph Infinus) being the hero and accomplished businessman he is has access to, and a collection of items that he has acquired through his travels and deeds.
He'd be happy to help out. He particularly likes ancient technology - being a technopath.

If you want plot monkeys...

Jason Caine is a noted expert on necromancy, Netherworld energies, magic, and demonology who works over at the Uni's metaphysics department in Salamanca. He can be called in for consultation, used for plot drops, or he can beat seven shades of you-know-what out of things if required. He's also very old and very immortal, so you can even kill him a bit. He won't mind.

Glory is someone few will ever remember, but she has a job at the MAGI office in Galaxy. She's basically their test source for nether energy and has some unique insights into it. (She's also a cute tragi-comic character and doesn't come out to play much.)

Columbia draws her powers from a magic source, and has recently suffered very badly at the hands of some of the notable magic-based villain groups. She would feel compelled to investigate an unusual magical event.

If if you're involving villains, then Allatu, a former Queen of the Dead, fits in perfectly with Zombie Apocalypse

As if you need to ask, Brit old buddy old pal. I'll PM you about this when I get a chance.

I have three magica-orientated characters who could work, one less than the other two.

Deadland is a former walking-corpse himself, though since the cyborg pack came out I gave him a full conversion (thanks to kind donation from Hearth and Heart, due to the horrific stench that followed him around). He has no real understanding of the powers he has, but is a handy node of mystic energies.

Ebon Chalice is a newish char, a Dark/Dark tank who is a watcher-type character who I've yet to fully roleplay and develope. Of the two heroes, I'd sooner use him.


If you're letting villains play as well, then I have Sorrow's Kiss, an Arachnos Widow who has a sideline in a magic trinket and bookshop in Sharkhead Island. She has not a drop of actual power, but likes reading the tomes and things she stocks.

Sounds good. I can offer Wolfram as an all-purpose plotmonkey with regards to magic. Starlit Spirit wouldn't be a bad choice either, but she's out of town.


Knights Exemplar: Wolfram, Autumnfox, Starlit Spirit.
Militia: The Portent, Wavekite, Mr. Sandman.
The Cadre: WarpLocke, Zajin.
Numerous others.

sounds a possible job for Hellskeeper ((see handbook for detail ))

I have two chars who could join in. Efranof, an immortal who could have stumbled accross artifacts through his life and just hung onto them for some reason and Underthrow, a natural born Wizard who has been training with MAGI to help fight back the Circle of Thorns and other magic-based villains.


I am the Blaster, I have filled the role of Tank, Controller and Defender
Sometimes all at once.

Registering interest with Quinsisdos or Danmaku, my two Magic-orientated heroes.

Right a bit of an update.

First off apologies, another busy week so im kind of slow to respond at the moment.

Secondly, due to the number of characters being put forward we are currently researching through the handbook and the RP threads to determine which characters best fit the story we have in mind. As we agree on those characters their players will be contacted in due course.

And thirdly, due to new complexities with the plot we are having to rethink the format a little. Rest assured we will pull our fingers out and get moving soon enough

Having not seen you in game Brit, I'll go ahead and put my char details here.

Afterlight is a prime candidate for anything magical, and it wouldn't be hard to imagine her giving her brother Headliner an artifact for safekeeping if you'd rather have him. You know both characters well Brit, so I won't go into detail.

I have a villain, Extremist, who is a fallen angel and practices magic, so he could work too if you want someone redside.

There's also the new Laugh Riot, Last Laugh , who is interested purely in causing chaos and will do anything to aid that. Another redside character. You knew the original Laugh Riot when he was still Laugh Riot, so you can imagine the sort of toon this is.

On examining my uni timetable, it's probably best I withdraw, as my participation in events could be contrained quite considerably by my workload this year.

I'd like to put Walter forward, but actually for helping stop the zombie masses. He'd see their potential success as to far too much of a shift to the status quo, which at the moment is satisfactory on his part.
He has no problem with Paragon, he'd rather it didn't get taken over by zombies as it's resources are far to great to lose to mindless corpses.
So yes, on this occasion, he'd actually be helping the heroes.

It's possible that I may have some trouble getting online for the next couple of weeks (as of Monday). Currently it should be okay. I'll try to get something posted here if it's going to be an issue.

Should be fine by month end, however.

I'm withdrawing from this plot, due to overcommittal to other plots. Good luck, and have fun.

Do to concerns raised by another member of the RP community I thought it would be prudent to post up this...

Although the Harbinger community plot is inspired by the spirit of the forthcoming Zombie Apocalypse event there is no suggestion that they are the same thing. No character/s in the plot will be responsible for the Halloween event or contradict any official explanation of its cause or conclusion. However, spawns of zombies may be used by individuals, teams or supergroups in game during the event to represent elements of the plot in the same way existing mobs, missions and taskforces are made use of by roleplayers.

I hope that will put some minds at ease.

I'd like to take part with my thief turned reluctant hero, Gall . He's a "collector" of magical artefacts, keeping some for himself from time to time and selling on others.


 

Posted

I'd like to throw the Primogen in there. He's an ancient vampire who whilst he doesn't use magic, knows a lot about it. He's currently tied up in the LoRDs plot but I'm sure something can be worked out.

Council of Magicians and Dimensional Experts - Open RP

Following the discovery of the breaches in the dimensional walls, any high level magic user will have been issued an invitation to attend a briefing at the Midnighter club (see IC thread). There a discussion of the current situation will take place followed by decisions on how to combat the current threat.

If your character is a high level magic user or a person used to cross-dimensional travel, you may have received such an invitation. Hero or Villain can attend but a powerful, magic-nullifying field surrounds the conference hall and the MidnightersÂ’ Attendants, heavily armed, are on hand should any fights break out.
