Open Warriors of the Zodiac Series

What Did You Do To Snoke?

Previously Ratbag the Coward
This series of rps follows a sci-fi-ish narrative of a group of people with magical powers on a parallel Earth.

In this parallel Earth, technology greatly expanded up until the 2800s. In the 2900s, groups of meteorites and asteroids containing a strange energy started to crash land on Earth. In about 3500, a strange intergallactic creature crashed into the Earth, as part of it's plan to dominate the Solar System and the universe. The planet of the creature's origin was unknown. The beast, named in his language as 'the Destroyer,' transformed the planet dramatically. The countries were gone. All that existed now is a single landmass-possibly combined from other countries. The humans tried to work together to defeat the Destroyer. The remnants of their armies would not do. They discovered that the energies inside the alien meteroites could weaken and then defeat the Destroyer. There were different kinds of energy coming from these meteorites-ones which reflected the western astrology's 12 star signs. Combined together, the first to bare each of these star signs-the original 12, defeated the Destroyer and Banished him to Pluto, sealing him away in a prison, using their magical powers. Their victory was a legend passed from generation to generation. Opening up a large asteroid that contained the star powers, the group unleashed them into the world. Everyone who was ever born gained the magical powers depending on their birth. The magical catalyst was then to be inherited but the power varied depending on when they were born.

The Destroyer's collision with Earth led to the loss of power and technology across the world for years. After defeating the Destroyer, the 12 found themselves in a stone age like society with no real leaders. Soon enough, the north and south of the continent had clearly been divided after a quarrel between two men who had proclaimed themselves Kings of the land. The north was named Nordon and it is the colder state, with ice and snow and mountains. The south was named Sudaos and it was much warmer with some deserts and more coastal towns.The 12 tried to intervene and created a barrier state in the centre, between the two-Neutronia. The next few centurys would see a world protection council being set up with the 12's decendents governing it, in Neutralia, whilst the two King's decendents waged viscious wars against each other. Earth, or Arcterron, as it is called in this version of reality, has become very medieval. Technology did advance eventually. The long 'medieval' period finally started to fade out as computers started to be reinvented again. In the initial years of the war, people who did not fit into the original 12 categories were thrown into insane assylums. A number of people were filtered out after it was discovered that there were more than 12 signs. The 'Outcasts' as they were called bore strange signs which only one or two other people had. It later became aknowledged that an Outcast had actually been the one who led the 12 and the two Kings against the Destroyer and suggested that they all team up in the first place. This Outcast's sign was a large angel like creature who stopped the Destroyer. Additionally, the two Kings ended up having strange signs not yet documented associated with them. The wars between the Kings happened between 3500 and 4000

The starting year for these sets of rps will be 4017-2000 years after now. Technology has progressed to that of about the 1970s or 1980s. The two Kings' decendents have just started another war against each other. Another bit of background you must know is that a previously thought to be sign that was for the 'Outcasts' known as 'Ophiuchus' has now been confirmed to be a regular star sign-one that didn't get noticed due the fact that they stayed under the radar for so long. They added an 'Ophiuchus' to the council to please the growing number of Ophiuchus members.

Their powers were very useful during the Destroyer's invasion of Earth, being able to split up the minions' powers. It wasn't so successful in balancing out the Destroyer's powers though, as his thick armour could not be penetrated.
