Flash Flash Revolution - TWG LXXII Player Signups

The Chimera Code began as little more than an advanced computer virus, engineered by the military computer experts of a losing Malranian army. Malrana was the latest of the lands conquered by the Talian empire, an imperialist dictatorship that used its acquisitions to exand its wealth and power. Tired of being subjugated under their iron rule, the people of Malrana launched an insurrection. The Chimera Code was to be the victory blow against Talus in what was later called the Black War. The virus, once strategically released inside Talian networks, would spread through nearly all forms of electronic communication, seizing and corrupting all technology it could find. Such a thing might have ensured Malran’s victory, had it been successful. However, such powerful things are not easily contained; a lesson that the Malranians learned the hard way...

"This is it, gentlemen." A bright-eyed and confident Commander Zell declares to his audience. "In a matter of minutes, the war will be won. Thanks to our brilliant computer scientists, who sadly can't be with us right now, our suffering at the hands of this cruel empire will be over, and we will be able to live free at last!"

At this, moderate applause and cheering went up among the audience.

"Keep in mind, however, that we would be doing all of you here a great injustice if we did not thank you as well. All of you here are the most highly regarded of our forces. You showed bravery, compassion, and dedication, even in the face of overwhelming odds. Even though we've been beaten down, we've continued to fight for our freedom. Now we will be victorious. Talus will learn the error of her ways. And Malrana, this great country that has endures for so long, will be free once again!"

This time, it was real applause, real cheers. It was rejoicing for an end to the war that had torn apart so many lives and cost so much to the people of Malrana, and all took part in it.

"Okay, okay," said the Commander after catching a tossed hat. "Enough of my drivel. Let us tune in to our friends at the launch center, and await the end of this war."

The main screen flashes to the launch center, and Willis Meine, the Chimera Code's creator. "Hello, gentlemen!", he cheerfully addresses the assembly. "I'm sure you've all been awaiting this moment for a long time, and we have no plans to disappoint any of you. Abide a moment longer as we perform the final diagnostic, and then we will start. With the push of this button, this age of war will end...

and a new age will begin!"

THE CHIMERA CODE: REDUX

19 players.

The Chimera Elite (Wolves)

#000: Master Wolf. Has the one-time use power to infect a human. This makes them seer red, and also makes them count as a wolf in the wolf/human count. The infected human must be dead in order for humans to win the game. This ability can be used during any phase of play and happens without the knowledge of the target. Seers GREEN.

Zade: Wolf Thief. Attempts to steal items from one person during the night. Seers RED.

Malakh: Wolf Scavenger. Searches the city for items at night and distributes his findings to other players. Seers RED.

Arun: Wolf. Seers RED.

2 Infected Humans: Lonewolf Masons. They are freshly infected, so they are still difficult for #000 to rein in.. They seer RED. By Night 5, they are told who the other wolves are and lose their kill ability.

Each night, both regular and lost wolves send in kill PMs. Since they represent 1/3 of the wolf population, there is a 1 out of 3 chance that the lost wolf kill will succeed.

Ether: The Mobius leader. A highly advanced biomech with impressive defense capabilites. (Guardian. Guarding protects a player from any kind of death except lynching and curse death.) Seers BLUE

Psykit: Ether’s partner and SIC of Mobius. Highly skilled at detecting both enemies and allies. (Seer. If, by the time the MW infects a human, the wolf thief was unsuccessful in stealing any items, the seer receives a PM saying a human was infected, unless she is infected herself, of course.)

3 Masons:
Ailian: Cursed Mason. On Night 3, the night of the eclipse*, she can seer someone. She dies Night 4. Seers GREEN.
Marth: Mason with the others. Seers GREEN
Jade: Mason with the above two. Seers GREEN.

*NOTE: During the eclipse, #000 loses his powers of concealment, seering RED to any seering method, and specifically being revealed as the MW if seered by Ailian.

Ran: Scavenger. Searches for items and gives the little gifts to other players. Isn’t he sweet? Seers BLUE.

Kain: Mystery Role!
