When the rich and mildly famous uncle of Kamari Varghese passed, he left nothing to his niece except his journal, all his other posessions going elsewhere. That journal held masses of work done on a trip out to a place known as the Tāmbā Desert. The unhospitable land was known well for ancient, defunct obelisks, metallic electrified sand, and the general lack of support for any life. Something valuable is underneath, and with the help of some fellow treasure seekers, Kamari intends to find it.

That's the concept! I'm looking for a small group of people to go through this RP with. The tech in this RP isn't too much further than modern technology - in terms of weaponry and vehicles standard lead and rubber still rule respectively, but things like lasers, plasma, and high tech computing are all present. Magic users are around, and tech has been built around that as well, however the ability to use magic is relatively rare and reserved for those with a talent and/or devotion to it. Magic in this world is limited only to that which is used by people, and can only have its energies transferred to other things in different forms, else they will rapidly deteriorate or lack multiple uses, for example, runes carved in materials will have to be charged and be able to be used once, and will lose charge over time.

The idea of what's beneath the sand in this desert is an egyptian and incan inspired temple type setting, with bounties of massively advanced magical and technological hybrids, all kept hidden. Likely automated defences, burrowing creatures, and some stranger obstacles may be present, but rewards will be there for those willing to face them.

This RP will contain some adult themes, however they will never be the focus of the RP. Some sexual situations may be presented as well as a constant risk of mortality. I will be managing both my own character, Kamari, and the npcs and will not hesitate to be harsh if you go in with the expectancy that you will be able to handle your way out of any situation.

NPCs will have specific rules set out for them before every encounter, and most will be free to manipulate by all players, although I will be assuming primary control.

In addition to all this, I've made a mock-up of the first page of Kamari's uncle's journal. Feel free to read it through, and if you're interested I hope to see you in the expedition!

Well, so long as we have a say in whether or not our characters die, I'm in.

Yes, I will be giving lenience in your characters - they are yours after all. I'll be more inclined to give you a "do-over" type situation if something does go horribly wrong as opposed to the miraculous saviour in a dire situation, and there's not gonna be any "you step on a stray pressure plate and spikes jut out, killing you instantly" type business.
Okay, then I'd be interested.
