While you’re vanished, no one can attack or create an advantage on you until after they’ve succeeded at an Notice roll with Stealth or Investigate to suss out where you went (basically meaning they have to give up an exchange to try). This aspect goes away as soon as you invoke it, or someone makes that Notice roll.
| |
| − | *[-1] ''Hide in Plain Sight'' You use Stealth instead of Deceive to put on a pretense meant to convince others to ignore you.

| |
| − | | |
| − | Having survived several world disasters, from 9/11 to the Trump years to WW3 to even interstellar war once humanity colonized the stars, the United States of America finally fell when it hit economic collapse with the majority of rest of Earth's nations due to fuel shortages.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Despite the abundance of new and resource-rich planets constantly being discovered, human F.T.L. travel was no longer robust enough to quickly and efficiently transport the materials across interstellar distances. In the wake of this collapse its people coalesced into a wide variety of much smaller planet-states that stood against each other; the relative isolation of each creating senses of xenophobia. There were a few of these planet-states, however, that prospered under the guidance of local alien populations.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Decades later, the inter-planetary nations that still lived (or had come into being since the collapse) began the first galaxy-wide human-on-human conflict. In an attempt to survive, if not even win GW1, the once isolated planets along with allied alien species formed an agreement with the Swedish Armistice Federation of Euro-Terran Yeoman to be granted access to their improved F.T.L. technology in exchange for protecting S.A.F.E.T.Y. interests in the war. (Namely keeping as much out of the war as possible while expanding their territory.)
| |
| − | | |
| − | The war ended shortly after the discovery of inter-galactic travel, which, in addition to allowing less strongly involved parties leave the conflict all together, brought in new venues of resources, enough that most parties felt it was easier/more efficient to go after those instead of fighting of what was left in the Milky-Way. Once official treaties had been signed, S.A.F.E.T.Y. and those who had agreed to fight on their behalf formed a single national sovereign: the Multicultural Utilitarian Revivalist and Collaboration Association.
| |
| − | | |
| − | M.U.R.C.A.'s first century-and-a-half was a golden age that ended in a gradual decline in economic growth over the next 50 years due to hostile natives in, and prior claim to, the nearest galaxies. In an attempt to avoid stagnation, M.U.R.C.A. made the first trip outside of the Virgo cluster. This turned out to be both a boon and a bane as not only were almost half of the native population citizens of a rather open and friendly sovereign, but that there was a powerful new resource (new to the Milky Way natives at least): this was the microbial lifeform know simply as ....

| − | Proteus
| |
| − | | |
| − | =About the Setting=
| |
| − | Proteus is an I.P. I'm developing with a couple of my friends (who may or may not join this game). Location-wise it is loosely based on the real-life galaxy I-Zwicky 18. The main conflict in the region is over the very powerful resource known as the Protei (singular Proteus), which are known to have precognatove properties. It is up to the group to decide whether they'll be a part of that or a be operating in a spin-off series.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Proteus as a setting is meant to be able to be a combination of hard sci-fi, science-fantasy, and traditional fantasy. Which elements of each will be used is based on game creation and individual character design.
| |
| | | | |
| − | At the default time period, humans are a relatively new development, having first arrived in the galaxy only 6-12 Earth years ago. They are still a divided people with the most prominent sovereign being the Multicultural Utilitarian Revivalist and Collaboration Association (formed from the remains of the E.U., Britain, American, Japan, parts of Russia, and several smaller Earth and alien powers); which is also trying to form positive relations with the major political players in this galaxy.

| − | The most prominent native power is the Counciled Contingent Confederacy. It is made up of a couple-dozens of species and planets that are represented on a council who governs inter-contingent matters while leaving intra-contingent matters (including council-member appointment) to be handled by their respective local governments.
| + | ===Refresh=== |
| | | | |
| − | Proteus is a species of protei with precognitive abilities. While not that great in single cells, it grows in power proportionally to the size of a given colony; as does their intelligence, reaching human-level while approximately human-sized. At this level the information their precognition generates can be harvested for various purposes, including as a renewable energy source.
