Lookout X (RP)

Lookout X is a spin-off RP, and the 4th Series of the Lookout RP Universe. Lookout X sits in a vague place on the Lookout timeline. Following a story driven, small group Role-Play, Lookout X takes place on an unknown planet, only referred to as "The World". A planet once destroyed by war, the story follows the troubles of rebuilding society in a Post-Apocalyptic setting.

The World
Unlike other Lookout Role-Plays, Lookout X takes place on a single planet, and puts a focal point on travel. Following some kind of war in the past, society and technology as a whole is on the rise to get back to its former glory. On the World, there is a single world power, The Axis, also known as the Order, leaders of "the Paragon Society". Within the confines of the wasteland also lay the Opposition, also known as the Traditionalists who are against the Axis. The Opposition are referred to as traditionalists as they are reluctant to adopting the new age ways of the Axis who are rapidly advancing technology beyond even the previous levels.

The wasteland surrounding relatively urbanized areas are terrorized and controlled by bandits. This causes for war to be relatively widespread as the Axis, Opposition and several warring factions fight proxy wars through the use of Mercenaries. Mercenaries are as they sound, warriors hired to follow through with missions assigned by contractors for various reasons. These reasons range from Money, Fame, Travel, etc. Manipulation of Ki for combat is rare, making user stronger than the average fighter, most would use their power for various reasons, becoming Mercenaries. Mercenaries join or form guilds after registering as official Mercenaries.

Official mercenaries may come off as strange initially, but the benefit of being registered rather than unofficial would be numerous. You'd be registered, and therefore more trustworthy to employers. You get jobs with higher payout. You can be hired by guilds, growing in renown and getting better jobs. This also benefit buyers since they know they're getting a trusted worker. The only downside would be that your registration would be on file open to organizations like the Axis.

Contracts are given to Mercenaries based on skill, and the contractor. Those within guilds of higher renown are given better contracts with higher payouts. There are 5 official contract types, and 2 unofficial. The Official Contracts are: The Unofficial Contracts are:
