Great Wyrm
Dero beneath the city there are massive tunnels dig by the Great Wyrm. Ten stories tall and played with more armor than a tank. The legends say it could devour whole armies. Of course no one has actually seen one....
Or or if they have, they have not mentioned it...
Perhaps it is for the best. True there are rumors of Orokin tech from the ship that terra formed the planet. But such treasure would not be worth angering the great Wyrm...

*Legion settles down in his corner and sets up shop, awaiting for people to visit*
"Thank you, as he watches the man leave, and of course Rules is what I take pride in"
A Tenno outside of his transference chamber wheels up to Legions market stall. He looks around thirty. His hairs is straight white and neatly combed. He lifts his glasses and peers at the wares. He seems to act very old.
He seems peculiar, not creepy but rather odd. He looks over the wares repeatedly, saying "hmmm" and mumbling things. He occasionally glances at Legion but it seems he is waiting for something.

*Another ship flies to rail-control, its a Scimitar with the sotz skin, but with dark gray and white colors, it lands and awaits for control, however something seems off about the scanners*
*A voice admits from the ship*
My name is Chlora, I'm here to spend a few credits on a small trade, nothing to big..
Simon blinked.
"Chlora we are detecting an anomaly with the sensors." He said. "Unfortunately I cannot allow you acces to Phenix until this is resolved. Is there anything I should know?"
He ran the scans again, allocating additional power. It could be a simple smuggler modification. But then again Lakar had managed to sneak a beacon across. He couldn't risk surprises.

Wildlife:
Phenix has its fair share of wildlife. Some, like the furry Fluffles, are docile. Others not so much. Hunting is allowed, provided one fills out the proper forms.
Here is the list of wildlife.
Fluffles: These small furball like creatures are scavengers during the winter and herbivores during the rest of the year. They are widely viewed like rabbits on earth, as pests by farmers and pets by citizens.
During the night they sleep in giant mounds. Threats are quickly buried and kicked to death. More than one wild Kubrow has perished due to "getting ghetto stomped by fur balls."
Behemoth
Similar to the infested creatures these beasts are large and heavily armored. They are normally docile unless enraged. Hunting a behemoth requires signing a legal document stating you will not return with killing any you injure, as wounded behemoths have been known to track threats back to the city walls and beyond. They stand about two stories tall, with thick leathery skin and bony tusks. They are herbivores.
More coming soon.

Lucious opened another comm channel to get in touch with the Balor Fomorian. "And which members of the meridian do i have the honor of meeting here?"
Darrin opened the channel.
"This is General Darrin. Arbiter of Miraalan, commander of the Manitcore squadron." He said. "And a lot of other titles you probably won't remember."
The video link opened and the Green and Black Frost looked at the other Tenno.
"Let me make one thing clear. This ship has been upgraded to target a credit on the surface. It serves as first line of defense and judge, jury, and executioner." He said. "Pleasantries aside I have been told you are here to help rebuild. Is there anything you excel at?"

Order of bad things.
AKA list of escalating warning signs.
Start a fight, attempt a crime, use abilities for mischief: Archon spawned. ((This is a warning.))
Cause serious harm to NPC or player: Seraph spawned. ((Please stop, this isn't funny.))
Attempt to kill an NPC: Synergy Tenno spawned. ((You are pushing your luck.))
Attenpt to kill a player sucessfully kill an NPC: Spawn an Oro-Keeper. ((You are screwed, there is no hope. Forget things like Hysteria, you'll be lucky if your operator survives.))
Suspicious activity: Spawn Wraith. ((Dm is watching you. Unless you have really good reason you may want to reconsider. Exception is a Wraith spawned as protection. These NPC's are a sign that whatever you are doing is encouraged. Committing a crime can lose this protection.))
Enter restricted area, attempt to kill important NPC, or other sneaky bad things: Wraith attack. ((These NPC's routinely fight other Tenno in training. While they are not invulnerable they are very hard to spot.))
Killing a Wraith: if you somehow loohole this to happen, Dirge will hunt you. He is the Wraith Leader. ((He will find you, he will kill you. And then he will shoot your ship out of the sky and kill your operator. For the Love of All that Is Holy do not anger Dirge.))
These are not challenges. These are warnings. Please avoid making me do this.
As you can see, I won't stop you from breaking some minor rules. I also won't stop Durge from scattering your character across the surface of the planet. Please don't make me do that.
Finally
Telepaths:
No parenthesis on this one. You ticked off the DM. You no longer control your character. Reserved for extremely difficult people or loopholers.
-
Telepaths
These are the big guns for enforcing the rules. If you start causing horrendous amounts of mischief through some normally unstoppable means, they will intervene. The can hijack actions. They also serve as the IC reason people know where to find eachother.
-
Wraiths
Tenno spec ops. Assigned to persons of interest.
If a Wraith is tailing you, denoted by [You see a shadow at the edge of your vision.] then be cautious.
Entering restructed areas or attacking high level NPC's will spawn a Wraith. You don't want a Wraith hunting you. Tailing you, maybe, but not hunting.
-
Archons
The main peacekeeping force. Starting a fight will summon one. They are difficult to beat.
Currently not joinable.
-
Groups:
Oro-keepers:
Currently not joinable. Possess extraordinary powers. Can teleport, regenerate, and attack or defend themselves with powerful void energies.
Emcountered During: Extreme disregard for the rules. If one appears Due to rule breaking stahp now. If it appears due to excessive violence that is the end of your rampage.

Ryoko gestures to the seats.
"Please take a seat. I told the captain to take us down to the Capitol." He says. "I'm sure we can find a suitable place for you to set up shop."
he told his hands.
"Though I must say you are the first to arrive." He says. "I must relay a few rules of course. There is the standard set, no fighting, no stealing, etc."
He gestures to a holograph depicting two armored forms.
"These are the peacekeepers. Archons and Seraphs." He says. "I recommend cooperating with them if an issue arises. If you need there are also dueling rooms set aside."
He gestured to a Red and Black Atlas behind him.
"This Wraith will escort you to the market area." He says. "He can answer any questions you have while we land."
Ryoko kneels and golden light flares. He begins to fade away.
"Welcome to Phenix." He says. "Ah! A new visitor."
The light flares and he vanishes.
The Wraith stands silently.
-
[You mean in orbit. Unless they stayed back at the rail. Technically your ship is now in orbit around Phenix. I'm still getting used to roleplaying on this scale so bear with me as if something ins't explained well.]
-
The Defender class vessel docks with the ship. The airlock opens and an Atlas Warframe stands there.
"Greetings, I am Arbiter Ryoko." The Tenno says. "If you would please board this ship will carry you to the surface."
He pauses and taps his helmet.
"Forgive me for wanting to greet the first guest properly."
Ryoko stands waiting for your decision.
-
[Quick question. How many ships are there? Or is this a Tenno carrier? For streamlining purposes anything denoted as automated will mean that you can tell it to do any of the options listed afterwards. E.g transfer cargo, deposit cargo at location, hold cargo till ready, etc.]
-
Darrin opened a full channel to the ship.
"My alologies." He said. "This ship was commandeered when the Kweens attacked us. It is under Tenno and Meridian control now."
He keyed in a command.
"There is a Defender waiting to dock. We can unload your cargo with automated drones if you wish." He said. "Once again I apologize for the scare. This ship is my personal flagship. It is our first layer of security while the Vengeance and Interitus are under repair."
A command appeared on the Xiphos console.
"Confirm cargo transfer and delivery coordinates?"
[If you accept it will load them and send them to where you decided to set up shop. Or simply hold them till needed.]
-
Darrin's voice came over the rail.
"Balor is friendly."
-
Ryoko stood at the landing zone. The platform jutted over a small cliff. The entrance to Phenix sat a short walk away.
"Prime Trader." Simon said over comms. "Seemed like a nice fellow, had a lot of merchandise. He may need help unloading it."
Ryoko watched the craft through the Codex Scanner. Their first visitor. And a Tenno Merchant. This could draw others. He motioned to Dirge, the Wraith leader.
"Send a Wraith to keep an eye on him. Protection duty. I don't want him getting mugged by some desperate fool."
-
The rail operator seems to sigh and starts into a bored speech before a voice booms out.
"Simon here. Rail manager." It says. "If your orbiter or carrier has infestation please leave it in orbit and use a landing craft to descend."
The rail hums.
"If you need goods transferred we have ships that can dock and assist with that."
The rail flashes and you find yourself facing a blue and green planet. A yellow star lights it. It seems as if you have not left the Sol System. Then your eyes adjust and you see a fleet of ships, Orokin in design. Two moons hover above the world.
A white and orange Balor Formorian hovers in orbit as well. It bears the Meridian sigil.
"Vaykor Formorian here." A vice says. "This is General Darrin of Steel Meridian."
"Waypoints to the designated landing zone have been sent. Please let us know if you have any questions or cargo to offload."
-
[Good intro.]
[Once you reach the planet I will give an explanation. The rail thing is just to provide a character intro. The action actually starts when you approach the planet. For those reading I will give the description of the planet once. If something changes, e.g a ship in orbit. I will update it.]
-
[Forgive me for not explaining but while waiting at the rail you are in your ship. However in this case this will be a docking/waiting area.]
The receptionist looks up.
"Oh. Sorry for the delay. Most Tenno just wait aboard their ships. Looks like your forms are in order." He says. "Please note that any infestation we biomass must be kept in sealed containers."
He motions to the door.
"The rail is ready for you." He says. "Please pilot your ship to the rail."

Ryoko stood at the old gates of Phenix. He was inhabiting his Atlas Warframe. Opening the world to the public was an interesting move. But the Council had ordered it, and the Lotus, so he would have to deal with it. Simon could man the rail and screen for any hidden cargo.
He looked around the ruined city. With Tenno aid rebuilding was quick. Perhaps others would come join.
They were also expecting a new load of refugees. He cast a glance upwards to where the Vaykor Formorian floated in orbit. They were safe, until some new fool decided to prove something to the Kweens.
(a side note. Some people may recognize Ryoko from my fan-fic. He is the same. Interesting events that occur here may be recorded in the fan-fix. By joining this story you give permission for your character to be featured. I will ask, unless the event contains a large number of people.)

Welcome to the main Synergy role play thread.
A few rules first
Lore is post U-21 ((Wow it has been a while.))
no God-moding. (There will be NPC's with strange powers or stronger abilities. If this goes on long enough it may be possible to join groups that grant access to advanced abilities.)
Synergy is heavily defended. Violence is allowed but heavily discouraged. With extreme prejudice. Fighting outside of duels is a sure-fire way to get killed or exiled.
GM actions can override player actions.
If you can kill it in game, your character can kill it here. I.e Stalker, Gustrag 3
Any other questions PM me or Yzjdriel (he is Co-Dm)
Backstory
Phenix was established by Clan Miraalan to provide safe haven for cilvilians and Tenno. It exists in an unknown solar system reachable only by fold engine or rail. It is home to the headquarters of each Syndicate as well as smaller civilian groups.
The primary forces are Archons, humans wielding power-armor that grants mobility and toughness close to the average Tenno. While they do not possess special abilities their combat prowess is respected by all.
Tenno allied with Synergy also call this place home. They reside in a village at the foot of the mountains. The Tenno monastery holds classes for those interested in learning more about the Tenno ways.
Seraph's, flight enabled Archons patrol the skies, watching for those in need of assistance, or medical aid.
An attack by the Grineer has left Synergy weakened but unbroken. Civilians now openly carry weapons and work is in progress to rebuild.
Allowed races: Tenno, Ex-Grineer, Ex-Corpus, Civilian.
Setting.
You start at the rail. It is smaller than usual. Rail control sends a list of questions while you wait.
Name?
Race?
Reason for visiting?
Cargo to Declare?
Revamp:
So with more time to devote to this there are some changes.
Characters can now travel to Phenix from shuttles. Traveling from Phenix to another planet or system must be done IC. They must still declare items of note.
There are now more NPC interactions to give the story a more open world feel.
More changes coming as they happen.
Semi-Open means anyone can join but characters must be approved by GM (myself) or DM (Yzjdriel) first.

Vauban's passive is to get armor if a frame is close. Not give armor.

I like the event, good fun and decent rewards, the only beef I got is the fact that thanks to some "must not sleep for 48 hours super grinders" I barely had a chance to farm Angst since he was gone within 2 days and I had no time to play before that.
The final challenger drops all mods from the event and will be available for three days straight when all five are defeated.
You still have a chance to get her mods.

"Ahh I was wondering if you were going to greet me. I'm Alan." Alan said. "Young people these days. Expect everyone to start every conversation."
He squints
"Drat I think I forgot my good lenses." He said. "Would you mind describing your goods."
He taps the wheelchair. "Got anything that would give this old seat a bit of a boost?"
the young woman behind him rolls her eyes.
"You're not even thirty yet, Alan." She says. She appears to be Tenno, a strange crystal bracelet gangs in her wrist. Alan's glasses appear to be made from the same material.
"I was told you had to push me around for a day after you blew out that man's eardrums again." Alan says. "You second generation Tenno and your control issues."
He looks up.
"I apologize for Samantha." He says. "Now about those goods."
