This is a brief summary of the main plot of The Society and The Boanthropic, including short bios for the major characters designed to help interested participants catch up quickly before events resume this Fall. For an in-depth, in-game timeline of all events that transpired through June and July as well as more detailed character analyses and pictures,\u00a0click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Society<\/span>, a hedonistic cult that lives in a compound somewhere in the Los Angeles hills, began making trips down into the city to make contact with potential new inductees. Led by a mysterious man known only as the Founder<\/span>, this leader is rumored to possess incredible powers, including teleportation, inter-dimensional travel, and some form of immortality. He is reclusive, rarely seen by even his own followers. In his place is Tad Shafer<\/span>, the public face of The Society who was hired by the group to be its intermediary with the outside world, facilitating their visits and serving as their mouthpiece in person and online. Though the Society espouses love and spiritual oneness, there is a darker side to their activities resting just beneath the surface.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n One of the members of the Society, a young woman named Mary<\/span>, is pregnant. It is rumored that the Founder was the one to impregnate her–without her consent. The rumors further suggest that the Founder plans to use the baby to enact a ritual related to the story of the Moonchild, a myth of dark magic and the antichrist. To prevent this, a resistance cell has formed within the Society led by Mary and another Society member, Eric Andrew Hoff<\/span>, who is also known by his resistance code name: The Black Rose<\/span>. With the rallying cry of this resistance \u201cSave the Moonchild\u201d, Eric is recruiting would-be resistance members to infiltrate the Society to rise in their ranks and save Mary. However, another force is at play that also wishes to stymie the Founder\u2019s plot: The Boanthropic.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Boanthropic<\/span> are entities of pure energy manifested from the intense trauma experienced by people who endure severe, dehumanizing emotional abuse and manipulation that strips them of their memory, will, and identity. This intense emotional pressure then pushes the last remnants of the victims’ spirits out of their physical bodies, leaving them behind, alive but boanthropized; the spirits then join a larger collective spiritual body known as TheBoanthropic. They are ethereal beings that have come to earth to intercede and guide a group of willing humans (who they refer to as Pilgrims<\/span>) towards the goal of preventing more pain and suffering at the hands of people like the Founder. TheBoanthropic Resistance, or “the Bobo<\/span>” (separate from TheBoanthropic) led by Mary and Eric believe in the power of TheBoanthropic but have never actually made contact with them in the way the Pilgrims have. Generally TheBoanthropic spirits cannot be seen, but lately Pilgrims have witnessed them entering the physical realm by influencing physical objects, sending messages via electricity, and apparating into strange beasts.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This complicated history was at one time documented by another mysterious figure known as The Wayfarer<\/span>, a devout researcher and computer hobbyist who spent his life researching the origins of the Founder and his powers while also attempting to unravel the mysteries of TheBoanthropic before he apparently disappeared in 1983. The men and women of TheBoanthropic Resistance revere the Wayfarer and his research as they continue his work pursuing TheBoanthropic spirits and challenging The Society. TheBoanthropic spirits\u2019 chief means of communication is through an old woman named Beverly<\/span> who lives in Montauk, New York. From an early age Bev was visited by TheBoanthropic and proved to be a willing conduit for them, often conveying messages through an Instagram account that Bev manages. Recently Bev has been aided in her TheBoanthropic duties by Krysta<\/span>, a seventeen year old girl who lives next door.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As Mary’s due date fast approaches, Pilgrims must to continue to aid Black Rose and the Resistance by rising through the ranks of the Society as all sides wait for TheBoanthropic spirits’ return to earth.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nIntroduction to The Society<\/em><\/h4>\n
