Intro
This RP takes place on the planet Makai, where sentient beings of all races come together. It's not unusual to see vampires, cyborgs, samurai, and magical girls all living in the same city. Further, all beings have the power to manifest beings made from the mind, or Psyches.
Psyches are a person's thoughts, emotions, and identity given physical form, often complete with powers. Those who train in the manifestation of Psyches are known as Psykers. They are an extension of the user's body, like an arm or a leg, and can take many forms, from that of everday objects to horrible eldritch monstrosities to favorite cartoon characters in the case of less creative Psykers. While it takes years of training to manifest one, control is easy: While they cannot think for themselves, they respond to the user's subconscious thoughts: As such, they always do what the Psyker wants them to, even if the Psyker can't tell them to. They are mostly used for military,
The players are students of a retired Psyker, named Madame X. On the verge of retiring, she has called a reunion of her surviving students. But one of her students is conspiring against her, and has a plan that will rock the entire world of Psykers.
Makai
Regions:
Catistan: A popular tourist attraction, with many casinos, brothels, opium dens, and ice cream shops. The surrounding deserts are dotted with volcanos and roamed by giant cats.
Startistan: The starting city, and home to Madame X, a retired police officer who now teaches. The game starts as her most recent batch of students is graduating, and her previous batch is visiting for tea. It is also a bustling metropolis, with all sorts of people. It is also home to the World Police, a powerful organization that enforces laws all across Makai.
Crazyoldmanistan: A frozen wasteland hundreds of miles in size with a population of only one: A crazy old man uses his amazingly powerful Psyche to kill anyone who enters.
Robotistan: A city of robots, with a mad scientist who's Psyche turns organic beings into machines ruling it.
Balloonistan: Once a penal colony, after a riot, it was taken over by a crime boss, who used balloons to lift it into the sky. It now uses mechanical arms to steal entire buildings as it flies across the land.
Wrestlestan: Wrestlestan was named for it's national obsession: Wrestling. It started as a retreat for wrestlers to go and train away from fans, but as more and more moved there, it grew into a town where men and women could go and hone their bodies into the ultimate fighting machines. It is the law that everyone must dress as a wrestler.
Nightistan: A region of Makai where eternal night reigns, adorned with pumpkins and jack o' lanterns.
Note: These are only regions that are taught in school. There are many more that have yet to be discovered.
