UNDERTOW - Sci-Fi RPG

<p>Underneath the icy surface of Cardis' third moon lies an endless sea.<br>Further below still lies an abyssal city of pirates and vagabonds.<br><strong>You are here.</strong><br><br>...<br><br>Welcome to <strong>THE UNDERTOW</strong>, home to some of the most ruthless, desperate, vicious people in the galaxy. Tucked beneath the ice-layered sheet of Cardis-III's cruel surface, and only accessible via deep-sea submarine, lies a sprawling city that <em>used </em>to be the second-most prosperous colony within an eight-system radius. Now, it's first-place to the Black Market, but dead-last to anyone outside.</p><p>Parked within the sea's abyss around 500 meters above crush depth, The Undertow used to be a simple mining facility, but- under the guidance of Charles Right- the outpost grew to be much more. The mining facility was soon bought out by a rival company, who then brought in a mercenary company to stand guard. That mercenary then staged a coup to overthrow their employers after a pay dispute, overthrew their employers, invited black market merchants to help make ends meet... and then it became a pirate haven for years to come, completely defended by the planet's surface with an atmosphere patrolled by privateers.</p><p>Outside the system lies a vast war, waged by two fronts; the Greater Solar Union (GSU) including the forces of Earth, and the Marche-Donir Coalition (MDC). The war has proved quite profitable for the pirates of The Undertow, and- as such- they have begun offering jobs and selling lucrative cargo to anyone and everyone who has a heavy pocket... assuming you can worm your way out of getting scammed.</p><p>You are a rando in a sea of randos. You came in by ship, and went under the surface by way of a sub shared with various people of various species. Whether you are a refugee, fiend, merchant, politician, adventurer, convict, kidnappee... <br><strong>You are here.</strong><br><br>...<br><br>hi welcome to my first ai thing i hope you like it :) concept is inspired by Barotrauma and Starsector. art from starsector too hi</p><p></p><p>Tags: scifi, sci-fi, alien, water, underwater, space</p>
