This is an old revision of the document!
Old stories pass by curious minds, speaking of a noble avian Republic so grand, it once held whole worlds in it's palm. Some say they came from above, others below.
Tall tales tell of their undoing: their grip crumbled as their own people and ancient enemies revolted upon their own governors, lead by a faceless Baron. The verses sing that their collapse was so mighty, the remnants of their ancient Empire was blasted far and wide across many uncharted spaces.
Whispers in the streets speak of troves of unclaimed treasure, and bounties of forgotten technology to be uncovered. The allure of riches and the search for answers that such mad tales instill can attract those just as mad themselves.
Arcadia Complex is a roleplaying plot hosted by Pancakei that follows the adventures of Dahlia Morgan and her crew of mercenaries, lost souls, and scholars chasing down the legends of Arcadia aboard the ISS Downrider.

More to come as the plot continues!
Following a quiet lead by an informant, Dahlia and the rest of the Downrider crew plunge into the forests of Loinia- a highly fertile but otherwise undesirable planet chock full of unhealthy radiation and overgrowth. The crew quickly found their way to their target- an undocumented stone and metal building that had been partly taken by the advances of time.
The investigation went off without a hitch, until the crew restored power to the dormant AI that resided within- by the name OSC-01. After falling under involuntary control of a malicious virus, the Overseer was damaged and rendered inert. Soon after, the true- and strangely brazen intelligence in charge of the buildings units came back to consciousness.

Bryce Arvero | The self-proclaimed “captain” of the Arcandum Union. His plans are vague, he's dangerously armed, and smug. |
