You wake up, alone in the dark. There's a breathing tube jammed down your trachea, and you're suspended in a tube of clear blue fluid. Upon registering your level of consciousness, the gravity couch drains the fluid surrounding you and retracts the breathing apparatus; the doors in front of you open, and you're deposited on the floor of a stark, sterile, empty medical bay.
This is your welcome party. The rest is up to you.
ataraxion is a panfandom science-fiction/horror RPG set in a universe not so different from our own. The game is primarily a character-driven jamjar, with an overarching plot that will conceal story elements from both the player base and the PCs. Characters will arrive in-game on the Titan-class colonization ship Tranquility, waking from grav couches located in the ship's medbay. The ship (mysteriously bereft of all original crew members, save two) is heading towards a way home—a deep-space jump point known only as Ataraxia. From there, according to the captain, characters will be able to return to their universes.
This is not a game with a guaranteed happy ending. You might survive, but at what cost?
+ Fandom and OC-friendly game + Accepts multiples (i.e. MCU Tony Stark, Marvel Ultimates Tony Stark, etc), canon AUs and CRAUs + Activity requirement is ONE post (either network or log) OR a five comment log thread OR a ten comment network thread per month.
