EMP

 

ᛗ

  Behold, an opportunity to gather.

Welcome to Somnia's first EMP! This is the place to be if you're interested in the game's setting, if you're unsure about who you'd like to bring or if you just want to check out the vibes. Remember that the EMP is open to all, and you don't need an invite to participate in the slightest!

Dates to note are as follows:

- TDM: June 7th
- RESERVES: June 21st
- APPS: June 22nd - 26th
- GAME START: July 1st

An opportunity for players who do not have invites to post their interest in receiving one will be available on the TDM as a mod comment to reply to. Just like our EMP, you do not need an invite to participate in the TDM, either (only to reserve and app). Mod-run invites will also be available then, so I thank you kindly for your patience!

Use the form below to show us those pretty white jaws!

ᛗ CHARACTER
Name: Miles Upshur
Canon: Outlast
Blurp:

Local investigative journalist who travels to an insane asylum and is shocked to find insane people there.

Miles gets a tip that human experimentation and other messed up stuff is happening at an asylum, so he breaks in an attempt to investigate. However when he gets there, it's all gone to hell in a handbasket with even government military being killed in the process of trying to help. The people inside the asylum are either passive in their madness, or so violent and strong thanks to the experiments done on them that running is his only choice.

A priest refuses to let him leave as he wants Miles to be an apostle to spread the message of his god, the Walrider, and forces him to travel through the asylum recording everything as evidence of what is happening. Eventually the priest sets himself on fire in dedication to his god.

Miles travels underground and finds a laboratory, where they've been experimenting with driving people insane / into states of lucid dreaming so that they can control the Walrider, a bunch of nanites made into one being that can only be controlled by the insane. Miles kills the host of the Walrider, the Walrider forces Miles to become its new host, Miles gets shot a lot but the Walrider saves him, and he leaves and is on the run from the company who was at the helm of the experiment (Murkoff).

Vessel Type & General ideas:

I LOVE the idea of him being an Offering - seraph for the whole "god Walrider" idea, daemon for similar, or a metal golem for being an unwilling host to the Walrider, the technology based "god".

MILES!! I feel a spark of joy every time I see an Outlast player. Seraph would be neat, but also metal golem for the whole nanobot/tech aspect is cool af!!

idk if Sharon and Miles would get along, but I do know I'll toss her at him on the TDM.

[walriders]

i'm just always glad to meet other outlast fans 😭

please do! i'm excited to see how they get along!!

[hexrot]

i am enjoying his vibe a whole lot, actually! seraph fits in perfectly!! but i love me a good journalist sticking their nose into places.....

[walriders]

he just loves going where he doesn't belong 😔 the vibes are awful but it's what makes him so fun
