Plot Ideas for RPs
TweakBasic Premise: Gillani Marconi is the descendent of the famed Noble prize winner of the wireless telegraph, Guglielmo Marconi, though one of his brothers. A scientist like his ancestor Gillani was a man that wanted to create something that the world could use. A smart man with a desire to save lives and help others with problems, he worked tirelessly to create various cures for illness, like for example Cancer. A father and husband, all seemed well when he founded the Marconi institute for higher learning. A non profit group that specialized in the studies of various genetic illness and ailments that came about through injuries to the body, such as stroke victims.
Things were going good for Marconi and the research center flourished. Then his son, the light of his life, wound up in a jet ski accident breaking his spin in various locations in his lower back and causing him to loose use of his legs. Marconi was devastated as there was no cure at the time, namely this time period, to help others who were injured like his son. Marconi became like a mad man and started working on a cure. Realizing that his son would age over time and eventually die before he could cure him, Marconi decided to drug the boy and test a new procedure on him that put the boy in suspended animation for a long period of time, hoping that, in the future they could wake him.
Realizing her husband had lost his mind and caused the “death’ of their son, his wife left him and insisted that he was mentally unfit. Marconi was convicted of murder after being arrested and the Institute was taken over by two research groups. He eventually died in jail a broken man.
Fast forward three hundred years to 2310. The Marconi institute has been taken over by a different group. On the outset it appears to still be working for the greater good by creating cures for illness, genetic disorders, and mental and physical disabilities. Hidden from view though is the fact that the group has been contracted by various unknown organizations to produce genetically altered soldiers that will be used on the battle field. These Soldiers are, “Tweaked” as they call it. A process where the person is modified in a specified set way to allow for a greater advantage on the field during fighting. For example, a sharp shooter will be modified to gain what they call, “Sniper Sight” where the person can see at one hundred times the distance that a normal human can see.
These soldiers are the products of finalized experiments that are run on people who can’t afford normal procedures to cure their illness. So in order to save their lives they contract themselves, or their family member, to the Institute to be used as test subjects for newer tweaking procedures before being used in the solider program. Soldiers who also get injured in battle are called back, and depending on their injury, are either repaired and reinstated into the fight or are used also as testing subjects.
It’s during this time that the son of Gillani is found, woken, and promptly vanishes from the institute not to be found. Along with his disappearance is the man whose family has been watching over the body for centuries, and a test subject ex solider. The young man decided, after discovering the true nature of what had happened to his father’s pride and joy, that the corrupt system had to be dealt with and removed. To this end he created a group simply called the Liberty Front, LiFt for short. LiFt’s activities center around the surrender of the Marconi institute back to the son of Gillani and to inform the public of the schemes and dark actions that the Institute was profiting in.
CharactersTom Marconi – The son of Gillani that was set in suspended animation. He is the ring leader of LiFt. Choosing to forgo the Tweaking after seeing what had been done to his father’s facility. He’s a noble man with moral goals and is not willing to go to certain lengths to get the job done. He heads the main body of LiFt as well as the computer intelligence center that filters all activities of LiFt members, and the members of the Marconi institute. He does not see his actions as terrorist in nature, and tends to use smart bombs (non lethal bombs such as sound, smoke, flash, etc) as a way to deal with people and will resort to destruction of property only after the area has been fully evacuated of civilians. He’s a decent sort of charming person, but very serious and refuses to comprises his ethics for the sake of winning.
Henry Walker – Henry’s family has been watching over Tom for eons. As the latest in the long line, Henry was there when Tom woke up. At fifty years old young, he is spry for an elderly man, and contributes his youthful nature to the fact that he’s unwilling to give up no matter what. He is one of the minorities of humans now in the country that has not bee Tweaked. He treats Tom as if he is his own son, and assists Tom in learning about the new world. He’s a caring man but stubborn and believes in his Master’s cause. He is the head of the Ground Tactical unit of LiFt. As such he acts as the main unit to deal with large all out attacks and defense around the mansion. He is close with a boy named Matthias who is the head of the intelligence retrieval unit. (I was thinking of using Old Walter Dollnez for him)
Matthias –This boy’s full name is unknown. At fourteen years old he is the youngest of this crew and also the most skilled in gathering information. He runs an underground group of information gatherers, all kids his age, who listen in on conversations. Matthias was found by Henry when he was twelve, after having been Tweaked in his ears to allow him to hear all sorts of sounds from the very soft at far distances, to the smallest whistle close up. He’s good at memorizing things and is very much a tease when not working. He likes to think of himself as Tom’s brother, though Tom is unsure exactly where the boy stands. Matthias is head of the Information Brokerage and Intelligence Unit of LiFt. (I was thinking of using Young Walter Dollnez for him)
</i>SABER</i> –or more precisely S43ER, Solider 43 –Experimental Retinas, was given the code name Saber after he could not remember his real name. Saber is in his twenties and was tweaked in his eyes allowing him what is called Sniper Sight, allowing him to see at owl like distances in exact detail. Along with this they tweaked him so that he had the ability to jump at least two stories with ease, and also they tweaked his smelling to allow him to smell and identify various things the same way a blood hound can. When wounded the Institute took him back in and set it up that he was used as an experiment for leg tweaks as well as scent tweaks. They have also more recently adjusted his vision to being better then it was. Saber must take medication to keep his Tweaks from being rejected by his body. He chooses to take a cocktail that is not the normal medication as he gives this to the other members of LiFt that they have saved. Saber is the head of the Stealth unit, the elite group that acts as the precursor to any attack. He is also the head of the Rescue unit. The one thing he knows about himself is that he has a sister out there somewhere.
