okay, so i've been listening to the song Land of Confusion a lot (both Genesis' version AND Disturbed's) and watching the Disturbed video for the song. and it just occurred to me that it would be possible to make an RP based on the concept of the video.
so here's my proposal. in a modern day settings, the corporations are slowly taking over. Not all of them have an interest in politics, but some do whatever they can to get the government to bend to their will. as such, the government is slowly being seduced by the promise of money from companies selling fossil fuels, weapons, and other ways of destruction and devastation. and so it happens that one group of corporations get together, and design suits of special armor and sell them, not just to their own countries, but to most of the world powers, and convince those in charge to do a complete hostile takeover. the resulting totalian regime all but destroys major cities using the weapons provided by the companies, fighting against each other's forces, but because their equipment is identical, the soldiers can't tell who's who, and start taking orders from the corporations, instead of the governments they are supposed to serve. the result is a massive army of identical stormtroopers that sweeps across the globe, conquering nation after nation.
however, unbeknownst to those corporations, several other corporations have been working together on projects to stop the spread. these corporations realize that if the people aren't free to choose, then the corporations will lose money, and go bankrupt. these projects end up being living weapons, either created entirely in a lab or altered from test subjects chosen for specific traits and ideals.
they don't necessarily have to appear human, but they fight against the soldiers of the conquerors, inspiring the people to fight as well, hence the title, Uprising.
i'd like to see some interest before i post a profile template, so if anyone finds this idea interesting....
i'd also like to limit this to six, maybe seven characters, plus NPCs
