[M4A] Enter the Nightmare. (1x1 Sci Fi/Fantasy Rp)
Introduction
Centuries ago Humanity had discovered the ability to traverse the Stars, and make colonies upon planets in distant galaxies through the invention of Warp Tech. Over the course of many years massive Colonies were born, and humanity expanded to the furthest reaches of the stars. It was if they were destined to forever prosper...
Then, like all tragedies, a great fall occurred. Upon a Planet now lost to Humanity and dubbed the infamous "Planet Zero" a terrible plague erupted called Nightmare Crystallization. In which terrible monsters are born from the deepest darkest pits of ones own fears. Soon the planet was overrun with these monstrosities, and the inhabitants were forced to flee to other colonies. This lead to the birth of more monsters, and rapidly Colony after colony fell to these monsters no matter what was done to try to limit their spread.
Planets that had no contact with infected individuals would suddenly develop outbreaks. Systems far from impacted Zones would become afflicted, it was as if the arrival on Planet Zero had opened a Pandoras box. It was only a matter of time until the homeland of Humanity fell, and all seemed loss...
But. Through what could be called nothing less than Divine Intervention, a holy goddess appeared and granted Humanity the power to weather the storm of Nightmares. Gifting humans who have endured the extreme traumas of these nightmares the ability to wake innate abilities within themselves, and transform themselves into those capable of fighting back against these horrors. Some lucky few were granted a sort of immunity to the stress these psychological terrors placed upon the mind, turning them into much desired "Navigators" who could not only guide warriors through these wretched lands... but guide those lost to psychosis back to their normal selves and avoid more... drastic measures from being taken.
And as her final gift, this Goddess granted Humanity the knowledge to construct massive vessels capable of housing what was left of the colonies upon galactic cruisers. Thus gave birth to the Nightmare Crusades. As people fought in the Name of Her Holy Light, seeking to drive away the Nightmares that infect their homes and bring back the days in which man lived upon planet.
Plot Intro

Plagued with an uncanny knack for misfortune, and finding himself in the most difficult of jobs he has fallen from grace as a plucky Navigator to an absolute nobody who is barely scrapping by, and is now reeling from his most recent failure.
What was meant to be a quick retrieval that would have maid them millions of credits resulted in one of his agents in intense ICU, and the other two forced through Memory Reset to undo the severe trauma they endured. With his debt growing, his confidence waning, and the Navigator Bureau breathing down his neck he is forced to one final reckless endeavor that will make or break his career as a Navigator.
Extra Info
Hello! I've been inspired lately, and have found myself in the mood to do this particular setting! First and foremost, I am looking to blend High Fantasy with Sci Fi! I love the concept of Elves, Cat Boys/Girls, Lizard folk, etc. in Space wielding anything from high powered Anti Material Rifles that can pierce anything to giant buster swords assisted by rocket propulsion systems for even stronger hits!
This is also going to be an extremely dark setting, and will seek to strive a balance between wholesome and sweet moments and horrifying eldritch encounters that can drive people mad. So, come prepared for characters who have been through hell and will go through even worse.
If you're interested in this, please keep note of these extra bits of info before shooting me a Chat!
- Searching for Partners capable of playing multiple characters only, I am looking to create a balance between us as we handle these individuals on their expedition!
- With the amount of characters that will be present I'd prefer we RP on discord, as a server will help keep things organized!
- If it isn't obvious, this RP will get dark. So, please let me know if there are any themes that you'd prefer to not include or not focus intensely on!
- If you have any ideas you'd like to present, let me know! I'm also happy to answer any questions you might have!
Thank you for reading my post! I hope to hear from you soon!
