So I was just wondering if anyone would possibly be doing an Ingress-based rp?
For anyone that doesn’t know, before Pokémon GO was a thing, the same company, Niantic, created a different game called Ingress. The basic premise of the game is that there is a strange newly-discovered data-carrying particle in our world called Exotic Matter (XM). It enters our world through Portals, springs where XM pours into our world from presumably another dimension.
There is a war going on hidden from everyday people, taking place through the Scanners (smartphones) of the Agents (game players). Two factions: the Enlightened and the Resistance, are each battling for control of these Portals. The Enlightened think XM and its otherworldly connections should be explored and released to the fullest, believing it is the key to humanity’s evolution. The Resistance are concerned that the power of XM is dangerous to humanity and that it needs to be investigated, restrained, and controlled to prevent catastrophe.
Anyway, Niantic also created an anime (with partnership of Netflix) based around Ingress’ story.
So, is anyone interested in doing something like this? We could base it off the principles so far explored in the anime, and even incorporate current concepts from the Ingress game, like the current NEMESIS threat.
Any takers?

((Lol it's a bit confusing until you get into the lore. Basically, the current plotline is that about 12 researchers of XM were 'killed' by a group called Nemesis.
However, the researchers were actually beings called Simulacra (organisms made of XM) with the soul and memories of the actual researchers. The bodies of the researchers were locked in a chamber called ABBADON beneath the facility where XM was originally discovered.
After being 'killed' one by one, the researchers woke up back in their natural bodies in the ABBADON room (completely confused, mind you) and found out they were locked in what is now called the Anomalous Bubble, which is like a space locked away from all worlds by four barriers erected by Nemesis. And so the current Ingress plotline is the Agents are trying to get the Researchers home by taking down Nemesis.
AAANNNDD that's the basic plotline XD. It's a bit more complicated underneath but that's the general gist of it))

((Of course the other option is to go completely off to the side, like a super-powered rp with the two factions as opposite sides maybe?))

Yeah probably. It’d be too hard to do anything much bigger than that. And that’s also if you’re still interested))

((Cool! I can made the WIP thread tomorrow, I’m on mobile and it doesn’t work well with making long posts. Are there any details we want to hash out now?))

Ooh true that’d probably be a good idea. Should definitely be somewhere populated, but also not suffocatingly so... also where the weather is mostly the same year round...

Yeah true. If you’d like to keep it in the UK, that’s cool too I’m pretty chill with whatever place. But if you don’t care either we can just pick a random one.

Alright that sounds good. Would you like to keep the selection area in the UK or broaden it to surrounding areas?

Oooh all of those are good. I know a bit about Paris and Rome, but I must confess very little knowledge of Edinburgh))
