Continue The Story : Paths Of The Unwanted:-
I believe most of you would have noticed that there was frequent activity within Varthonai’s ‘Continue The Story’ thread – This is mostly to the improvements to the game I had brought, with the help of Lucky-Joe and Castlemanic, old players.
Varthonai’s ‘Continue The Story’ had one rule,
As I participated in this thread, things slowly changed. Once it was a thread full of spam and random story events, now a plot with twists, turns and complexity. The thread had turned from a spam-fest into some sort of RPG.Originally Posted by Varthonai
I created this thread because I wanted the CTS game to have a fresh start for this new decade, leave behind the past pages full of spam and claim full rights as the game’s Game Manager – With Castlemanic and Kronosdragon as my co-GM.
Fear not, we are not starting over again but continuing where we left off from the previous CTS thread.
The basic concept of the CTS world is simple – Same planet; Earth. Somewhat distant into the future; 2023. Mythical creatures, demons, other dimensions exists and many more. Catastrophic events such as World War II is part of the history of this altered-present – Past events can be altered for the sake of plot and twists. Different races existed on Earth, such as the noob (Refer to Castlemanic’s CTS : Ancestry chapters on the noobs.).
Think of this as an RPG with an ever changing plot, in a sense - Free Writing : Interaction, time, natural necessities, personality, moral choices are all into play.
Players are all human (Or was…). If your character is anything else besides human, then it is compulsory to give that character a past being a human. As being humans, you have the choice to have mutated genes, cybernetic augmentations and many others. Some characters can be just simple normal humans or combat-veterans. The plot mostly revolves around the sanctuary Deletion Quality and its members – So characters should be an existing member of Deletion Quality, an ally or soon to be member of Deletion Quality.
As it lives up to the title, this thread will continue as an ongoing RPG. Although there are plots with an ending, there will always be a new one – Either suggested from one of the players or thought of by Castlemanic or myself. Once a plot is underway, complete it before proceeding to the next one. Don’t rush it – Take your time, add details, be interactive, socialize – Enjoy.

The World/ Current plot :-
The year is 2023. Earth continued to live and breathe, contradicting predictions of the apocalypse from the past. Oil cells, newly invented source of energy, made it possible for Earth to survive – Boasting the features of no Carbon-Dioxide production and simplicity of cloning them. This makes Oil Cells the world’s only but reliable energy source. However, nuclear power had not been driven into extinction as safety precautions become more reliable and effective. Nuclear power sources have the ability to generate excessive power for the most demanding of projects, vehicles and devices. But nuclear power sources are simply too expensive compared to the Oil Cells. There had been improvement with technology and medicine, both domestic and military with several breakthroughs. The world’s most powerful organization is the U.N – Bringing order and flushing out the corrupted. They are the world’s police. With U.N mostly in power and with the cooperation between them, they won the war against poverty – Poverty only exists in the history books or holo-cards. The standard of living around the world improved greatly and terms like Third-World countries does not exist any longer.
In this world, anything can happen.
Welcome to the World of Continue the Story.
The Fall And Rise Of Deletion Quality
In the year of 2023, deep within the boundaries of everyday life, a secret war was being waged. It began when a group, a branch from the U.N, Deletion Quality (D.Q.) banned a corrupted D.Q member along with that member’s followers. Weeks after this incident, the Russian Monarchy was revived by a young Czarina. And without warning, D.Q members in Russia and its neighboring countries became missing, were falsely persecuted and arrested, killed and kidnapped. This was all hidden from the public but not from Deletion Quality. Slowly, the conflicts between the U.N branch and the Russian government and its oddly named military – N00b – Began to escalate but well below the radar for the public to notice.
Finally, when the war was exposed to the public, the war became increasingly violent. The U.N, however, did not lend its assistance to D.Q against its war against the Russian Military. It was stated that the war was not between countries but by military groups, fighting over disagreements. A full scale military assault was orchestrated by D.Q first – Attacking a Russian military naval base in Cuba.
D.Q was the victor of the battle. Days later, the private city of D.Q was attacked but a D.Q member – A man motivated by money paid by the highest bidder – Bombing off the west side of a military compound. Rumours were that the D.Q member was hired by the n00b while a division of the n00b military entered D.Q’s walls for a faux peace treaty. As the bombing ensued, the n00b division began attacking. D.Q was caught off-guard but eliminated the division – Suffering several military and member casualties and the damage of the military facility. The n00b’s second attempt in taking the fight to D.Q was when they hired T.A.S.C to join them in a full scale attack. Once again, D.Q thwarted their attack and again suffering casualties and even more structural damage.
Meanwhile, in the United States, an anti-ability movement began to spur. They are called the Deletion Quality Killers (D.Q.K) or the D.Q Killers. From a protest movement, they grew into a militia – Attacking D.Q members on American soil. However, the D.Q.K did not have many supporters and was being regulated by the U.S Military. This caused them to hide from the eyes of the public and worked underground. The militia’s leader was named Stanley Wert – Publicly known as S.
In Germany, a power struggle has ensued. The government officials from all cabinets, parties and seats were assassinated within a week. It was believed that it was the doing of the assassin’s of T.A.S.C but their client remains unknown. The only surviving political leaders were the military high command. Soon, power was passed on to the only elite German military branch and governed Germany and its neighboring countries with an iron fist, strict set of new laws and was the first, in history, to have executed the detachment from the U.N.
Before the final attempt to wipe out D.Q, an alliance was born – The Pacifier. With Germany’s military taking the title of D.Q.K, allied with the n00b and T.A.S.C, they operated the crushing blow to D.Q’s heart. Almost every D.Q member and soldier living within the walls of D.Q was killed. Its structures were made into ruin due to constant, indiscriminate bombing and surgical strikes. The D.Q Officials – The Administrators and Moderators - Disappeared without a trace. The D.Q members around the world are at disarray and were hunted down by T.A.S.C assassins from nearby bureaus.
Realizing of their abundance of man-power, resources, technology, research and military strength – They began conquering the world – One country at a time. As n00b and D.Q.K forces invaded countries, they made sure to kill every D.Q member they would encounter. Their secondary objective in mind is to finish what they have started, to destroy the remnants of D.Q – A possible threat to the Pacifier’s growing empire. Soon, the U.N and the Pacifier signed a cease-fire treaty between them – Disallowing the invasion of any current U.N territories and the Pacifier’s movement for conquest. However, the treaty’s only condition was that the Pacifier will invade an existing U.N territory if that country were to interfere with Pacifier affairs or cause problems which caught the Pacifier military’s attention.
Meanwhile, the surviving D.Q members, back in their city, futilely attempted to rebuild it. They were later extracted and sheltered by a secret U.N branch, a branch of the Black-Ops – The Elite Human Task Force (E.H.T.F). It was by the orders of the U.N to extract and protect every surviving D.Q member in order for them to be rallied against the Pacifier. But as the Pacifier grew weary of the U.N’s military movement against them, the E.H.T.F was forced to scuttle every base they had around the world and relocate to an extremely large, hidden, underground D.Q refuge facility and E.H.T.F main base of operations in Algeria, within the Sahara desert. Their existence to the Pacifier was nothing but rumours, allowing the E.H.T.F to work behind the veil. But D.Q member extraction became more and more intricate as the Pacifier focuses more on D.Q elimination rather than conquest. The E.H.T.F needed a strategy to save as many members as possible without exposing themselves but was left at a dead-end. Within a matter of months, every D.Q member will be found and killed or captured for whatever malicious purpose the Pacifier has in store for them. With D.Q out of the way completely, they can betray the treaty and engulf the U.N in flames. If the D.Q. members were somehow rallied, the U.N will take the fight to the Pacifier and World War III begins.

Territorial Map
(Note : This map shows which organization reigns which country - Not the specific number of bases, outposts, facilities, etc. In some n00b controlled areas, they have a few D.Q.K bases established. Every country in the world has a hidden T.A.S.C bureau. Basically, the map shows the concentration of control by any of the organization. Use this as a reference : World Map)
Factions :-
(Colour codes :
Blue – Protagonists
Red – Antagonists)
United Nations (U.N) :-
The world power that stands for order, justice and equality – They are the U.N. Any country within the U.N lives as one, powerful entity. Their military might is unmatched and features several diverse branches – The most notable of the few is D.Q and Black-Ops. They have everything they needed, the technology, the man-power, the military strength and the support from people around the world. Their equipment and weapons are shared amongst them. One of their greatest deeds was the further development of poorer countries – Defeating poverty entirely.
Due to the appearance of the Pacifier, the U.N became paralyzed from movement. The Pacifier was just as powerful as the U.N and stronger. Not relying on their massive military, the U.N now depends on their smaller military branches to take the fight to the Pacifier without provoking them into a full scale war.
Deletion Quality (D.Q) :-
D.Q is branch of the U.N military. It is a military sanctuary of for those who were born with special abilities which defy the physics and capabilities from a human. Later, from ability-wielders, D.Q then housed mercenaries, demon-possessors, war veterans and so on. Likewise, D.Q members join up with different U.N branches for military career. They have their own private city in Nevada desert – Replacing the Area 51 research facility. Besides D.Q members, there are D.Q soldiers. Exhaustively trained soldiers from the U.N to be assigned to be with D.Q. D.Q is led by the Administrators – Aliases; Oscar, Tawl, Rezuth and Netrosis - And their rules were enforced by elite of D.Q, the Moderators – D.Q members with powerful Level five Abilities. Additionally, men and women with abilities are generally seen and referred to as D.Q members but in truth, they are not part of the D.Q community.
Their sanctuary was destroyed by the Pacifier – Killing all the D.Q members and soldiers within its walls. With that, the D.Q officials (Administrators and Moderators) disappeared. Now, the world is littered with the last remnants of D.Q, in disarray, hunted down by the Pacifier as they are the key threat to their empire if they were rallied again.
Elite Human Task Force (E.H.T.F) :-
E.H.T.F is a branch of the most secretive branch of the U.N – Black-Ops. They are the most technologically advanced branch – Specializing in research, raids, patrols, infiltration and escort. This is one of the military branches which D.Q members volunteered to sign in on. Their leader is codenamed as the Captain – His rank being a Twelve-star U.N General. They are low in number but their technology and trained men and women makes up for it. Usually, they have heavy duty equipment and technology sent over by countries of the U.N or developed by themselves.
Because of the destruction of the private city of D.Q, the U.N had ordered the E.H.T.F to protect every D.Q member they can find in order for them to rally against the Pacifier. To avoid detection with a perilous task, they abandoned their bases around the world and relocated to their new base in Algeria – Deep within the ground.
Details on underground-levels are found in post #595 Shortcut
Pacifier Investigation And Destruction (P.I.A.D) :-
One of the divisions from a Black-Ops branch, they are formed temporarily due to the current situation of the Pacifier taking over most of the Earth. They are the most aggressive of the divisions – Attacking Pacifier facilities while in the guise of Pacifier rebels. The division, led by Colonel Hermes Tiberius Haight, consists of a several assault operatives - Former military and D.Q members – Hired mercenaries and U.N soldiers guarding P.I.A.D facilities. They entirely depend on the U.N for equipment, transport and such.
N00b :-
The n00b is the title of the entire Russian military. The title n00b is derived from an ancient race of monsters. The fact is that the Russians are descendants of the race. Their infantry is the backbone of the entire Pacifier military and their main manufacturer of vehicles and equipment. Most of their infantry are undertrained conscripts while the pilots, soldiers, snipers, vehicle commandeers and sailors are trained in conjunction with the n00bs and the D.Q.K. Conscripts are the bulk of the n00b army; their intimidating numbers makes up for their lack of training. Because they manufacture all of the Pacifier’s vehicles, n00b patrols consist of numerous armoured vehicles. Also, with their availability of air transports, they are very quick to deploy. Like D.Q.K, they have great minds in biotechnology, genetics and such for research. They work together to increase the speed of their researches. With all their findings, the n00b military created a special platoon of mutated-n00b soldiers – M-n00bs for short. Due to genetic experimenting, they made them faster, stronger and take much more damage, though they don't wield weapons except their claws and teeth. They are like beasts but know the scent of their n00b brethren and its allies. They are led by the Russian Czarina, Afanasiia Zolnerowich – A former D.Q member.
Deletion Quality Killers (D.Q.K) :-
The title was formerly held by an anti-ability militia in America. It was later adopted by the ruling military and political power in Germany in the midst of the D.Q-N00b war. Although the n00bs provide the vehicles for D.Q.K, their soldiers are already formidable enemies. They equip their soldiers with special weapons, high-tech equipment and intricate armour designs with helmet-interface. All soldiers are trained to be the best - SAS, Green Berets, SPETNAZ, Navy SEALS, U.S. Airborne Troops, Royal Marines and many other special-unit training combined; the ultimate war-machine – Reminiscing the Third Reich’s Wehrmacht. They take no prisoners unlike the other two groups of the Pacifier, unless for special means. Their pilots work with the n00b’s. They assisted the n00b in training their soldiers – But not as vigorously trained as the D.Q.K soldiers. Their numbers are few compared to the n00b – D.Q.K soldiers are only deployed into areas and battles where they are needed the most. They have a vast knowledge of biotechnology, genetics and such as well as technological research. They work together with n00b scientists to increase the speed of their researches. If needed, D.Q.K provides the n00bs and T.A.S.C with their high technological equipment – T.A.S.C only the one to return the favour by providing their own technology. Their leader is Walter Schwarz, their president and military high commander, the leader of the most notorious German military division, Wolf.
Tactical Assassin Shiru Corporation (T.A.S.C.) :-
T.A.S.C is the only loner, multi-nation, non-political and non-military faction of the Pacifier. T.A.S.C is an entire organization of trained assassins from across the globe with bureaus that have been built and hidden in every country, which serves as their base of operations. Primarily, these assassins are trained in the arts of ninjitsu, parkour, covert operations and weaponry in Japan. Previously, before T.A.S.C joined with the n00b and the D.Q.K to form the Pacifier Alliance, T.A.S.C was a freelance corporation – Clients hire assassins for certain tasks, other than assassination, for a very large sum of money. Working with two national militaries, T.A.S.C assassins are found behind the scenes in countries around the world, undercover. T.A.S.C assassins are summoned for specialized work such as escort, infiltration, search and destroy, sabotage, security and such, and if necessary, summoned as reconnaissance, support, snipers, vanguard during military operations. When it comes to their own battles, T.A.S.C does not rely on the others of the Pacifier. T.A.S.C assassins are free to follow bounties that are posted as a side-objective but they prioritize main objectives given by the Pacifier. T.A.S.C implant cybernetic enhancements and augmentations into their assassins making them faster, stronger, et cetera – But these are optional, the assassins are free to choose. There are some assassins with natural abilities like D.Q members. Like D.Q.K, they specialize in technological research – Manufacturing their own weapons, cybernetic enhancements and augmentations and technological equipment; which are shared amongst each other due to the uniqueness of technology of both sides. T.A.S.C equips their assassins with almost every fire-arm they prefer, their standard issue weaponry are their ninja melee weapons and explosives; however, it is not compulsory to use them. Each assassin has the same idling objective – To roam around the country, which houses their bureau, and eliminate anyone with abilities, discreetly. They are quick to deploy and always available. They are second-rate to the E1337s. The T.A.S.C leader and founder is the Japanese Prime Minister; Hiroki Shikaku. Additionally, each assassin is provided by P.D.A's only manufactured by T.A.S.C - They are libraries of information, location maps, blueprints and the life, which makes this device a covetted well of information from the Pacifier. However, extracting information from captured P.D.A may cause the miniature thermo-nuclear bomb wired into it to explode after a minute of delay. T.A.S.C bureaus may self-destruct P.D.A's that are assigned to their computer system if by chance the P.D.A is captured to be utilized as a bomb.
E1337 (Pronounced as elite) :-
A splinter, elite group formed by the cooperation of the entire Pacifier Alliance. The final product if the E1337 project was made into reality with the help of a captured sample of a D.Q member. D.Q.K. soldiers, n00b soldiers and T.A.S.C assassins can be trained into E1337 if they are under special recommendation. They are low in numbers but powerful and deadly, nevertheless. It is advised to avoid contact with them at all costs. They may work as solo operatives or in squads, maximum capacity is five. These men and women heavily modified with cybernetic enhancements, injected with the genes of the sample from the D.Q member, equipped with very high-tech, sophisticated and near-invulnerable suits and armed with their enhanced strength, agility, reflexes, knuckle-claws, metal-clad boots and plasma cannons at the palms of the hands of the suit. All E1337 operatives have the artificial ability of rapid regeneration from below the neck – This is due to the replicated genes that are injected into them. They appear in high concentrations around Berlin, Moscow and Tokyo – Nearby High Command Buildings and military facilities. E1337s are deployed in important research centers and fortresses. If necessary, they accompany patrols and perform as an officer for the T.A.S.C assassins. Their suits are made with complex materials which make them near-invulnerable to any attack yet they are light and flexible – However, there are some vulnerability on the thighs and arms. Their helmets are portable super-computers with a breathing apparatus – Made with the combination of diamond and other hard, made light, materials; protecting the E1337s’ only critical spot. They take orders only from S.H.A.D.O.W. The E1337’s new director, who was second to the former Jinsov Relinso, is Sigi Rothschild – She is also the highest ranking general of the D.Q.K.
