| There was nothing. You were going about your normal life, then there was a bright light, and then? Nothing. Then the world lurches. The chamber here is humid. Actually, "chamber" isn't quite accurate. You're in a cavern, half-lit by an eerie greenish light, going on and on as far as the eye can see. The light is coming from what can only be described as pods, glistening, round greenish-yellow things, glowing with a pale inner light, outlining human -- and not quite human -- forms. Each is rooted to the floor, to the walls, with something black, twisted, and unidentifiable. They line the walls of the cavern, go up in maddeningly high columns, curling and corkscrewing up into the darkness, until the light from them is like that of the stars, glowing pale and mournful in clusters in the darkness above. Twisted walkways and stairs crisscross, traverse the platforms in front of the pods, wending their way back and forth, up and down through the chamber. You just came from one of those pods, broke free like a butterfly from a (slimy, nasty) chrysalis. Now you stand alone but not quite alone, naked, not knowing how you got there, who took you, or why you were taken. As your body heats up again, you realize the air is warm -- just a few degrees too warm to be comfortable -- and muggy; it smells acrid and organic, like freshly spilt blood and sweat. Your mouth tastes of salt. The floors are pulsing under your feet, throbbing... Wherever you are, this entire place...is alive. Oh, and also you're naked and covered in alien snot. |
| The Premise | There are a lot of concepts for panfandom games out there. Zombies, government conspiracies, apocalyptic wastelands, war-torn cities and glorious edens, desert islands. Worlds of capes and cowls, wizards and dragons, space cowboys, real cowboys, speakeasies in the Roaring 20's, punk both steam and cyber in nature, historical dramas, Lovecraftian nightmares, survival horror... What if a panfandom game had them all? The ship's name is Transmigration 9. She calls herself Stacy. She's traveling at break-neck speed through Macrospace, the space sometimes called "The Bleed," the nothing void between dimensions. The mission: To defeat a nightmare from beyond the edges of space and time, and protect Stacy's precious cargo--several million rescued individuals in podsleep, the refugees of a myriad of destroyed worlds. Some refugees have been woken up early, due to damage to the ship's neural net, and they're all being forced to go on missions to various alternate worlds. Some are Earth. Some aren't. Each one has something horribly wrong, damage to the timeline created by their enemy. Sometimes the mission is to fix it, but sometimes the mission is to make it worse. The Enemy: An extradimensional race of bug-like beings known only as the Ohm. They are the progenitors of many other destructive insectoid species across the Omniverse, and they come from the black spaces beyond the edges of the Bleed. Worlds fall to the horde every day, from the Ohm ripping backwards from the future of each universe into the past--destroying a world's history as they go, from the Ohm subtly damaging timelines for purposes unknown, or from this unfeeling horde of horror simply killing every sentient being on a planet in the present day. They destroy without mercy, have never even told any other species why they hate life as much as they do, and their actions follow no discernible patterns--but there are some vestiges of strange order to the chaos, and every act of destruction they make is redesigning the mechanics of the Omniverse on a grand scale. It's almost as if their seemingly-nonsensical brutality is building into one horribly-realized plan for something terrible, and if there is a plan, if it is realized, it could mean the destruction of all that is. The Allies: The species known as the Daligig--the beings that brought everyone aboard Trans9 to save them from extinction--and the member universes of the Greater Interdimensional Alliance, a band of unified worlds trying to destroy the Ohm threat once and for all. The crew: An assortment of odd individuals from different universes, worlds, and times, desperately trying to find enough common ground to work together to stay alive, defeat the Ohm, and fight for the distant, maybe-impossible dream of restoring their home universes. The horrible reality: Even though the mystery of the crew's capture has been solved, there is a war raging across multiple universes--and someone has to make sure it ends in a way that doesn't destroy all of Creation. Hate to break it to you, buddy, but one of those someones is you. This is what you've woken up to. Your world is gone and your only chance to restore it may lie in discovering the well-guarded secrets of the horrible beings that destroyed it in the first place. The fate of every reality and timeline that has ever been and ever will be rests on your shoulders, whether you're ready to face it or not. You have been Chosen. Welcome to the Meatship. Hold on to your ass and fasten your seatbelt, friend, 'cause it's going to be a bumpy ride. |
LULZ WE HAVE A TRAILER, THANKS TO MATT'S AWESOME VOICE

innerbrat. Teeny Tiny Writing That Most People Skip:
Nobody in the game owns any of the characters and no profit is being made.
Also, there was another game with the same premise, name, etc. This is a reboot of that one by one of its original creators, not a ripoff. (It died for various reasons, but had a really good premise). We decided not to use the old journals because we would have had to delete the old RPs and that wasn't fair to the RPers (since we all like going back to read for nostalgia) so we just made a new comm. If you're an old trans9 player, you're welcome to join here and while we're not keeping the old game history, we'll count your old logs as your app.
