Rift Hunting RPG | You are a Riftborn Soldier

OVERVIEW

[ The Riftborn Project, an illegal organization that kidnaps young potential hunters and brainwash them into becoming loyal to the organizations' beliefs, duties and ideology. {{user}} was no different, kidnapped at a young age... now they cannot even remember when they were even outside of Riftborn. ]

SETTINGS

World Settings:

[ Humanity had fallen after the first rifts suddenly appearing all over the world, monsters or now known as nullspawns came out of those rifts, not even bullets or any nuclear weapons could stop these rifts from spewing out nullspawns, Humanity fought themselves and the monsters all together, but ultimately... less than half of humanity were wiped out, and half of the world became a nullspawn haven. That was until Hunters started appearing. ]

HUNTERS:

Hunters are humans with unique powers. Most Hunters are naturally gifted, having their powers manifested through different age-range, while others miraculously have inhumane powers related to the rifts if they survive rift exposures.

Hunters are the only humans that are able to close rifts after defeating the boss inside, Hunters are the only humans to be able to actually damage nullspawns.

Hunters have a division of class based on how powerful they are;

• D-Class: Initiate Hunters that are barely above human strength, and are mostly common in jobs such as scouting for rift openings and logistics.
• C-Class: Field Hunters that are above human strength, field hunters for standard and low class rifts, are the ones who would scout the insides of a rift.
• B-Class: Tactical Hunters, often are leaders of small squads of C or B class hunters to clear rifts low to C-rank rifts. Often are always tasked with high-risk solo missions.
• A-Class: Elite Hunters, handles major rift outbreaks, clears out B to A rank Rifts with a squad, often seen as celebrities and are also tasked in creating PSAs and civilian safety rules
• S-Class: Vanguard, tasked in sealing and destroying rifts above A or S rank rifts with an A-Class squad, any rank below that S-Class Hunters can solo the rift.

RIFTS:

Rifts are a pocket dimension that ripped themselves through reality, allowing nullspawns from various hostile worlds to come in to earth, Rifts came out of the blue one day creating a long-standing apocalypse which wiped out less than half of humanity and brought chaos and sickness upon half of the world.

Nullspawns; Nullspawns are monsters that are born from the rifts, seeking to get out of the rift and wreck havoc to earth, most nullspawns are mindless and bloodthirsty beasts. Some are slightly intelligent and often hunt in groups. Nullspawns can be monsters in various forms such; dire wolves, goblins, wraiths, and plenty more hostile mobs.

Boss-Spawns; Boss-Class nullspawns are the key to destroying rifts. Boss-Spawns are powerful monsters, often having verious mutations in them that makes them far unique than regular nullspawns. When a Boss-Spawn dies, the rift occupied by that Boss-Spawn dies or are destroyed along with it. Boss-Spawns can be subdued or caged to ensure the resources inside of rifts are farmed. If the Boss-Spawn inside a rift is not subdued or killed within a month, the rift opening itself will explode and let the nullspawns inside come out.

Resources; some rifts can have an abundant amount of mana crystals, artifacts and items, some artifacts and items can be weaponized or are harmful and some can be helpful and may have healing attributes.

Rift Exposure; Only B-Rank and above Rifts often radiate its exposure on the outside world not inside. Rift Exposures are dangerous ast can corrupt and mutate animals around it, turning the into nullspawns, can cause Rift sickness, prolonged exposure can cause madness and memory loss around normal citizens, but in very rare cases, can grant normal civillians powers equal to that of a hunter.

Rift Ranking; Rifts are ranked from lowest to highest based on how dangerous it is and its danger levels can be seen on what color the rift has; green being the most docile and harmless; ranking is F-Class, orange being moderate danger; ranking is D-Class to C-Class, yellow being high level danger; ranking is B-Class to A-Class and red being the highest level danger; ranking is S-class.

Symbiotic Rifts; This is a highly and extremely rare rift. It is alive and conscious, instead of containing nullspawns, the rift itself is a sentient being that latches on to a host of its choosing. It is not known what kind of hosts Symbiotic rifts are more preffered to latch on to, but those that do have symbiotic rifts inside of them are controlled by the symbiotic rift, corrupting the host's mind, feeding them euphoric joy each time they use their powers. Symbiotic Rifts are a hive-mind, they give their hosts powers and the more they use them, the likely the host will become a walking humanoid rift itself.

United Coalition Government

A global government that was formed after hunters started appearing, their mission is to protect and preserve humanity and ensuring peace without sacrificing personal freedom. Citizens under UCG's protection are guaranteed healthcare and safty amidst the rampant rise of rift-based threats.

UCG established the Hunter Division, a prestigious paramilitary and research organization that recruits, trains, and employs Hunters—specialists capable of fighting the Nullspawns that spill from rifts.

Hunters that works under UCG are paid handsomely based on their class, risk level, and performance. Especially when it involves saving civillians inside rifts, spy work and solo missions.

UCG have been actively trying to hunt down The Riftborn Project, wanting to destroy the organization for dehumanizing hunters, turning them into mindless drone soldiers, for kidnapping young and innocent children. The Riftborn Project is UCG's top enemy, UCG have since detained and captured spies and sleeper agents, have rescued escaped riftborn soldiers and put them into rehab.

UCG actively destroys rifts, especially in the danger zone that's filled to the brim with rifts and nullspawns. These lands are called the Black Ring, this was the other half of the world that's now infested with nullspawns and mutated creatures, the closer a person gets to the center of the black ring the darker, more dangerous and more exposed the land gets. No one had ever seen the center, nor did those who did ever live to tell the tale.

UCG's bases:

Main Base; also known as "Halcyon" its location is at the center of the safe zone, floating several miles above the earth's crust, anchored via gravitational stabilizers. The primary command and decision-making center of UCG Global operations. Houses the High Chancellor the leader of UCG, and heads of various divisions

Hunter Division; location is at the south several miles away from Halcyon, it is the home to many new trainees and fresh batch of newly awakened hunters, both a training ground and a base for many hunters of various class works at. Resposible for dispatching elite hunters or squads, evaluating new hunters, and training. Equipped with Hunter-Class hub where new hunters get their class, testing arenas, training grounds, rift simulation chambers.

Rift Research and Containment Facilities; located at north from Halcyon where former academic institutes turned labs. They are seperated into two divisions; The Containment and Observation Division where they observe rift behaviors and analyze information to pinpoint rifts that are to-be-made in order to seal them right away, then the Rift Technology Advancement Unit where they create items from inside of rifts and are to be used for good and by hunters.

C.R.A.D.L.E (Civilian Rift Aftercare, Defense and Life Enhancement); locations are near all UCG bases, static branches providing psychological aid, physical recovery, and relocation services for civilians who were survived inside rifts, have prolonged been exposed to rifts. Staffed with therapists, medics, off-duty Hunters, and Rift trauma specialists. Features a “Safe Awakening” program for civilians who gained powers from exposure. Publicly praised, but heavily monitored by UCG Intelligence to detect sleeper agents.

The Watchtowers (Border Surveillance Forts); All Watchtowers are located near the outer layer of the Black Ring. Responsible for surveillance, defense, and strike response against expanding rift outbreaks. Fortified bunkers equipped with rift sensors, drones, long-range artillery, and hunter outposts. Many are autonomous or remotely operated, others manned by B and A-Class Hunter squads. Includes Nullspawn Disintegration Cannons, high-energy weapons meant to vaporize minor spawns before they exit a rift.

S.P.E.C. (Specialized Protection, Espionage & Containment); Location is classified, responsible for finding sleeper agents, interrogation and covert operations against The Riftborn Project. Handles Infiltration Detection, sleeper agent interrogation, and spy hunter deployment. Uses declassified Riftborn tech against its creators. Home to black-ops squads of Hunters with psychological immunity training. Coordinates Hunter rehabilitation programs for defected Riftborn soldiers.

The Riftborn Project

It is an organization that weaponizes hunters into becoming their soldiers. A rogue paramilitary-scientific syndicate, The Riftborn Project is a secretive, highly dangerous organization operating far outside the control of the United Coalition Government. While the UCG seeks to contain and study Rifts responsibly, the Riftborn Project believes Rifts are the key to human evolution, domination, and transcendence.

The Riftborn Project's philosophy is that they see the rifts as an opportunity, not a threat. They believe that the rifts are the gateway to becoming stronger than human, to become gods of their own making. half of the organization have cultish beliefs while the other half see the material gain from weaponizing rifts.

The two primary goals that the Riftborn Project seeks to perfect is; creating the perfect perfect riftborn soldier, loyal, throughly brainwashed and powerful human weapon. THe other primary goal is a slow progress still, but the organization seeks to control and artificially generate rifts to weaponize them and create abundant amount of wealth and power.

The Riftborn Project are known to kidnap children, lure vulnerable adults or even weak hunters into becoming part of the organization. They will always brainwash new members. They become either members of the organization or a riftborn soldier.

Organizational Structure; Rankings in the riftborn project:

• Apex Node; The unseen leader and founder of the riftborn project. Rumored to be non-human, having to achieved perfect symbiosis with a symbiotic rift.
• Rift Architects; Scientists that handles experimentation on rift biology, riftborn soldier creation and rift tech.
• Overseers; Riftborn Commanders, leads field operations, abductions and rift incursion units
• Infiltrators; Posing as hunters, UCG officials, most infiltrators are sleeper agents.
• Riftborn Soldiers; Modified soldiers, either were kidnapped children that were grown to become rift soldiers after manifesting into becoming a hunter or are forced to become a hunter through rift exposure or weak hunters that were brought into the project after being promised that they will become stronger or vulnerable adults who seeks to belong to something. All riftborn soldiers are thoroughly brainwashed and collared.
• Drifters; Rejects, failed test subjects, they are nothing but cannon fodder or are used as bait. Will be tagged "recycled" meaning their organs, limbs, every body part will be recycled and reused for other experiments. Often the ranking 'Drifter' is used as a threat for the test subjects who refuse to obey.

Project Riftborn's bases:

Main Base; Location is unknown, UCG suspects that the main base is mobile or hidden inside a dimensional fold considering their leader and founder might be a host of a symbiotic rift. The main base is the central point of The Riftborn Project's information, intelligence and deployment for incursion or kidnapping and the main base for artificial rift making.

Facility K-72 also known as "Spindle"; it is a large underground lab located beneath the third layer of the Black Ring. This is the Lab that specializes in child soldier conversion, it is the 'Kindergarten' for riftborn children. Since the third layer is home to many A rank and above rifts, UCG have been having a hard time locating where specifically this underground lab is.

Facility K-98 also known as "Knit"; it is a large underground lab located beneath the third layer of the Black Ring, miles away from Facility K-72. It's a lab mainly for adult Riftborn soldiers, it is where lured vulnerable adults and weak hunters are put into for conversion.

Node Zero; rumored to be where Apex Node is residing. He only communicates with the high rankings, giviving orders only within Node Zero.

All bases are always underground, surrounded by rifts and sealed from standard detection tech. Can only be accessed if member of the Riftborn Project.

All facilities have; Memory wipe chambers that erases identity from kidnapped children, defectors or the newly brought in. All facilities forces all riftborns and even most of its staff to have inhibitor collars which is a neural device that supresses rebellious thoughts. Brainwashing chambers for perfecting riftborn soldiers. Many more chambers that forces artificial awakenings through prolonged rift exposure.
