I want to combine a piracy and dystopian setting.
A sort of post apocalyptic setting that only has seaside towns remaining. People basically form crews and undertake bounties and scavenging missions so that the new people in power can pay them so that they can stay alive.
But at the same time there'll be a darker setting. Obviously. It's me after all.
What caused the collapse of society in the first place was people tinkering with the divine. Trying to find and use magic with disastrous results that pretty much caused society to break down and turn on one another after a series of accidents.
A bunch of small wars broke out and eventually, due to both hostilities and mind distorting magical toxins, around 75% of humanity wiped one another out, before magic vanished from the world completely. Either everyone using it died, or the gods themselves intervened and removed magic.
Which brings us to the setting that'll be there at the start of the RP.
At first I'll have whatever crews there are doing standard bounty/scavenger collections for money, and people can either be part of a more above the law, simple crew, a more pirate like crew, or have their own vessel.
But shortly into the RP, both sides will find several crystals underneath the ocean. These basically contain pure, unlimited magical power of a specific element or type. In other words, as people pick up the crystal, they'll basically absorb all that power into themselves and begin to use it as a conduit.
From there a more dystopian setting will be established, with both the pirates and the other vessel more or less at arms with one another, while the government will be hasty to remove the magic that tore the world apart once, by killing those who now act at the magic's conduit. They'll be the greater evil.
Though of course, since it's dystopian, evil doesn't really apply.
Thoughts? Questions? Interest?
