Chronicles of New Marais

The following contains a few light game spoilers… most of which are from the first 5 minutes anyway. All care has been taken to avoid revealing crucial plot elements and everything written here was done for a reason; I have purposely left out a few key facts to avoid spoilers… they don’t affect gameplay anyway. (oh and my neutral is completely made up so don’t expect that when you play the game :P)

[color=white]

The town of New Marais was in an uproar. By now news of men with super natural powers had reached everyone’s ears. They call themselves Conduits… we call them Freaks. Blasphemous heathens wielding ungodly powers no man was meant to control. These individuals possess a certain hidden gene; known as the Conduit gene. Once this gene is activated through the use of a Ray Sphere, the newly born freak is free to terrorize all that aren’t obliterated in the blast. The Mayor of New Marais, Joseph Bertrand, had enacted marshal law over New Marais, forming a band of militant vigilantes known as the Militia to ‘protect’ his people against the freaks.

In Betrand’s own words, some of your freedom must be sacrificed to protect everything you hold dear… your friends… your loved ones… from the threat of the hellish Conduit freaks. Anyone could have mistaken these redneck vigilantes for witch hunters though… dragging people off the streets, accusing them of being freaks and publically executing them on the spot. Paranoia ran deep in everyone as anyone could be hiding this dark curse. Though the citizens of New Marais had grown restless, the Empire event was etched deep into their minds…

An emergency forum was called out front of one of largest building estates in town that afternoon… A crowd of 36 activists showed up, though not knowing why…

Rather than seeing Bertrand they were greeted with a large screen… it sprung to life and the voice of Bertrand echoed into the gardens.

It is now one week since the quarantine of Empire City was meant to be lifted. The government is trying to cover up the Empire incident by refusing media access but the denizens of New Marais know what happened; WE are no strangers to the world of freaks. Demons with magical powers walking upright as men, assimilating into our fair society. Alone... we stand no chance... but together we can make a difference, which is why you all answered the call. We must cast out the demons seeking to infect New Marais; especially our newest threat... the very demon responsible for Empire City, walks among us… Cole MacGrath. This fiend represents everything the militia stands against… and I know for a fact this electric freak stands in this very crowd hoping to attempt on my life. Now… some of you harbour ill will towards the Militia… But I pledge to you that together, we will find Cole and any who aid in his malicious crimes… When the time is right I will come forth guide your hand, and usher in a new, brighter future for New Marais. But for now… you all must do your town proud. Find those among you who seek to take away all that you cherish. As the new leaders of the militia, I give all of you equal power to send the heathens straight back to God.

The video recording then dropped dead.

In the crowd the disguised Bertrand knew that this was a gamble, especially with the free reign he had given the Militia; but his gambit paid off. To his surprise, the townmembers in attendance cheered at the video and began chanting “Bertrand! Bertrand! Bertrand!”.

Their job was just beginning… A forum was created and the 36 members of the crowd all agreed to meet back every day until each and every freak was dead.

They moved into the building designated for discussion… It appeared to be a court house at some stage, with statues of justice and murals of resolve adorning the decaying white walls. As the crowd moved into the forum halls a man whispered to another “Well Zeke, they know we’re here”

Known by many names… the Demon of Empire City, the Electric man… Cole MacGrath had come to New Marais for one purpose, despite what the town thought. He needed power. Power to prevent what happened in Empire City. An entity known only as The Beast had come and levelled the entire city and he couldn’t stop it… He thought to himself… “These so called "Militia" are going to try to stop me... But nothing is going to stop me... The Beast is coming, and I will be ready... No matter the cost.” As they entered the hall he couldn’t help but feel off… something was in there with him

He had been followed… by an old psychotic acquaintance.

Everyone thought Sasha hadn’t survived her ordeals in Empire City. What little mind she had left was all but eradicated after being tortured by the First Sons. All she could think about know… her entire purpose in life… was to see Cole MacGrath hers. Her psychotic infatuation had led her here, to New Marais. She had concocted a style of mind altering tar that not even Conduits can resist, and she planned to use it to bring everyone under her control until she found Cole… and even then… well… you can’t have enough toys can you?

MacGrath wasn’t the only freak in the room either… A bunch of men with the powers to create glaciers of ice with their fingertips were also in attendance. Hoping to rid the town of it’s human infestation, the group called Vermaak 88 infiltrated the forum to silently kill the town’s leaders before going on a city wide rampage.

Unbeknownst to the crowd was a solemn person who entered alone… their crimson eyes hidden behind sunglasses. The Beast had attached a fragment of his soul to Cole MacGrath as they fought in Empire… the soul fragment had possessed one of the people in the crowd… The body moves to attach with its soul, It being guided cosmically down the coast all the way to New Marais… God only knows the calamity that would ensue if the soul was able to reunite with its body… Would MacGrath even be able to stop it?

As the first Militia meeting began, with so many different agendas being silently carried out in the hall… does New Marais have what it takes to rid their town of Freaks for good?

The Beast is 1500 Miles from New Marais.

Game Rules and Other Notes:

All power roles (sorry Citizens) also have a hidden Storyline Objective. This objective is aside your primary win objective and must remain hidden at all times outside Night Chats. Publically revealing your secondary objective is grounds for a Mod Kill. This objective is more of a challenge mode, not required to win but extra epeen and possibly end of game awards for successfully completing them.

Quoting role cards (useless anyway cause they’re in the other thread), or PMs from me are also grounds for Mod Kill.

Images/Videos are fine in last wills, but not in the day thread.

I am going to be very very harsh on Da Vinci shit. If you have some code or some other bullshit you want to use, you ask me first. Don’t just think because I don’t notice it you’ll be fine, because your team wont win. Code words and words formed by first letters in sentences/paragraphs I can live with.

Don’t lie about mechanics. I’ve tried to make it all as simple as I can but if you still have a question, PM me and I’ll work it out.

Choose an Avatar and stick with it please.

You may choose to reveal your true identity in your team chats, but if I catch you claiming someone you aren’t I will step in and reveal who you are.

All evil and neutral roles can write Death Notes. I forgot to include this on the role cards.

Changing your name is explicitly forbidden.

Posting in the live threads once you're dead by my error or mod privileges will get you banned from future FMs

Oh, and Dont fucking cheat.

With that wall of text out of the way, Good Luck, and Enjoy Forum Mafia 5: New Marais.

[Elixir]

Welcome to New Marais.

You cannot Lynch on Day I.

If for some reason you have not got your role PM me.

If you cant choose an avatar, that may be because you're initiates until 10 posts... I'll get DR to fix it.

[Yvette]

One little crab said to his friend: I am going to the ocean!
And the other crab replied: You are too young, you will never make it.
The first crab, red with anger: What? Look at how fast I run! I challenge you to a race!

The little crab ran as fast as he could, but he could never reach his goal. His friend, older and wiser, waited patiently under the sea, until a black shark passed by. He hopped on his back and let the fish carry him to the ocean. The two crabs never met again.

[Jesse]

[Jesse]

I was watching a movie.

[Jesse]

Codes always remind me of matrix.

[Jesse]

I liked the two guys with the long grey hair and the cool glasses.

[Jesse]

You know grey o.o

[Candice]

I see what you're doing here.

[Jerry]

mhm yeah i also thought that that could be some kind of code, but wouldn't that be forbidden?
just to clarify, Jerry searching for Tom means absolutely nothing... besides maybe I'm searching for a nice friend to put my trust in

Oh and I watched some episodes of naruto and played some games

[Jesse]

What games? Naruto sucks -.-

[Yvette]

It's just a cool story, really. But it has deep meaning. You should ask me later.

[Gladys]

[Candice]

[Brian]

Well, not so good. I just got into town recently and someone robbed all my money... Then they declared this strange lockdown so I can't get out of here and I can't call my family. Spare some coins? Or better yet, some meat?
