ARKNIGHTS: OVERDRIVE

Terra is a dangerous place to call home. Calamities can destroy nations. Nations can destroy cities. In cities, crime runs rampant. You can use Orignium to fight back, but then you risk contracting Oripathy, dying and shunned by everybody around you. What's left? Where is the hope?

Become the hope.

But what is Arknights: Overdrive?

Arknights: Overdrive will be a future tabletop campaign run in Valor.

Here's what you can expect:
-Global politics in a post-apoc/fantasy world
-A mix of gritty, darker tones with more hopeful themes, plus some action, pulp-y vibes
-Harsher themes than standard shounen faire
-Characters are ANIMAL PEOPLE dressed in tactical gear and cutting-edge fashion, with guns
-or swords
-while crying about their dead friends and sad backstories and shooting terrorists in the face
-or being weird sleazy shady lazy businesspeople we contain multitudes

Interested? Drop a line with who you are and what you're possibly planning, what ideas you've got rattling around. Tell me what kind of organization we should headline. Ask questions. Go nuts.

EDIT
Now that we're doing more sign-up-y sign-ups, finalize those character concepts and give me your estimated availability for next year.

Doom here! My main character concept is for a young Infected Vouivre bard* native to Lawrence whose primary ambition to wander the world collecting stories from as many cultures as he can before he dies from Oripathy... or at least that's what he says. His real dream is to meet a prominent Paladin of the Shield that he admires and join the knighthood, despite their strict ban on Infected joining their ranks. Since Sponsoreon funds and tips from the rare gigs he can arrange can't pay for all of his travel fees, much less Oripathy treatment, he picks up mercenary gigs despite his young age and uses his unique Arts to fight: giving form to the heroes from the stories he so admires.

*While the bardic tradition is outdated, he makes up for not many people wanting to sit down and listen to epic poetry and old legends by running a blog dedicated to the compilation of all the stories he finds culturally significant or interesting as well as his own in-depth analyses. He also occasionally integrates more exciting tales into the lyrics of original rock and roll compositions.
