Denarii Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) Welcome to Naraka, the Eternal Prison (NARAKA-13039) Naraka is an RP extra-dimensional prison, built for one of my character's story arcs, and that I'd like to make available to the public. It's meant for when you need to run a scene in a more professional, secure environment than PPD or the Zig. Think Magneto's plastic prison, Escobar's house arrest, or Marvel’s Raft and you'll get the idea of what Naraka is supposed to be. There are also several empty rooms, which I'm happy to tailor for specific RP stuff in advance. (Message me here or in game @Denarii) On with the show. General Population Naraka contains 28 General cells, each secured with a laser grid, furnished with the basic necessities, and suitable for prisoners who do not display tremendous destructive or elusive powers. The wing also features a prominent suite, dubbed the 'Penthouse' for guests of a distinguished or honorable nature. Please excuse the mess in B2, the tenant had a bit of a tantrum. We're cleaning it up and will be serviceable in no time. High Security For advanced threats, the High Security wing offers a much sturdier enclosure, with an immobilization field protecting the containment fields themselves. These are longer-term tenants, and in the interests of their stay, Naraka often furnishes their rooms to their specific tastes. If such things are in their sponsor’s budget, of course. Isolation Only the gravest threats require the Isolation wing: a series of six pocket dimensions that manifest in various flavors of hell. These are reserved for only the most dangerous of Incarnate-level threats, and are custom-designed to suit their tenant. 01 - The Classic - A stereotypical hellscape, for those that expect it, or fear it 02 - The Maw - The barely-restrained slavering jaws of an eldritch beast. Mind the drool. 03 - The Aquarium - Glass walls sealed in water, for elemental prisoners or those who get claustrophobic 04 - The Chalet - A curious creation, rumor has it the Chalet is home to an entirely innocent prisoner, who Naraka has decided to give some comfort 05 - The White Room - Nothingness. Simple nothingness. 06 – The Empty Theatre - The tragic ruins of theatre, for the overly-theatric or attention-greedy Edited May 3, 2020 by Denarii 8
ArchVileTerror Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 Fan Fuggin' Tastic. . . . I'mma just start plotting and planning and scheming. Thank you for all your hard work! It's appreciated. 1
Saeletra Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 Oh my, this is amazing! Already the ideas are pilling into my head! Thank you very much for your hard work and opening it for RP! 1 Midnight Thorn, Overlord of Ivory Tower. (Everlasting)
Denarii Posted May 3, 2020 Author Posted May 3, 2020 Thanks! I did forget to mention, but there's a secret way to get into the secure storage room. But I'll let folks find that on their own 😉
Calamity Cain Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 This is delightful - some really tight craft here Denarii. So much potential for RP here too! I hope you've placed this on the Everlasting Yellow Pages! I love the diversity of Isolation units! Though one has to wonder why you'd imprison someone...if they were innocent (The Chalet). 🤔 1

Though one has to wonder why you'd imprison someone...if they were innocent (The Chalet). 🤔 I had not, thanks for the reminder! I'll add it to the Yellow Pages. As for the Chalet, it's a callback to the Chateau D'if from the Count of Monte Cristo, which was (spoiler?) used to imprison people who were innocent but needed to disappear. Of course, the Naraka wardens are far too polite to engage in the book's routine torture, but the idea is the same: someone's put in the box, however well-dressed it is, with the understanding that they'll never leave.
Calamity Cain Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 Ah, haven't read it, so maybe I'm missing important context here: if they're innocent, but need to be kept in a box by a corrupt government, why bother with the luxury? If they aren't being imprisoned so much as hidden, why keep them in a prison? I'm just perplexed by the idea, trying to figure it out now. haha I could see this being used by a villain/criminal who has some clout with the prison administration a la Hannibal Lector or Ultra-Humanite from that Justice League episode "Injustice For All", or who is being buttered up by the wardens to cooperate with them or other authorities, a la Shawshank Redemption!
Denarii Posted May 4, 2020 Author Posted May 4, 2020 It's pretty open for however people want to use it, really, so all the above work! That's one of the reasons I wanted to do a diverse batch of Isolation dimensions, to cover the range from the torturous (my favorite is the White Room) to the 'gilded cage' trope (the Chalet). It can fit whatever story needs to be played out, or new ones can be built to accommodate.

A friend's character spent time voluntarily imprisoned to prevent their powers from harming others, until such time as the powers could be controlled. Something like the chalet would be the perfect setting for a similar character. 1
