This thread seems kinda dead, but we don't seem to have a general NSFW story ideas/plotbunny thread, or if we do, I can't find it, so I can only post here.
Finally getting around to the ideology DLC in Rimworld has given me such ideas for a story/quest. partially inspired by the 'A world of your own' quest here on QQ, where a lottery winner bought a planet and a bunch of biomodded slavegirls and set himself up a little empire.
Start with a discription of Lord Maxamillion Lordsworth, billionaire cult-leader.
Talk about how he got rich, how he established his cult narrate, ect ect.
Go on to explain how he's here, aboard a ship heading for the outer rim with his harem of ladies. Explain about the nature of his cult.
Basically, it's an ideology sect from rimworld's DLC, tenants are patriarchy, nudism (for women) multiple wives (for men), breeding faith, men are leaders, ect ect.
His first convert is the 20yo heiress of a gajillion dollar glitterworld corporation. She's a willing convert, she's rebelling against her mother or something, she and Max were boyfriend/girlfriend before any of this cult stuff kicked off, and this whole thing is at least half her idea.
Even the brainwashing. Maybe especially the brainwashing.
The Heiress is a clever girl. Educated, intelligent. But she's arrogant. She knows that she's heading to the edge of the known galaxy where life is wild and pirates roam. She knew that she was putting on a brainwashing helmet that was set to rewrite her thought patterns.
She 'knows' theoretically that she's signed on to go build a homestead on an uninhabited planet, it's going to be dangerous, it's going to be hard work, and there's a good chance that they'll all starve to death come first winter.
But it's not like it'll happen to
her. Things like that only happen to peasants, becuase they're poor and stupid.
Right?
It's the mentality of someone who's never been hit, who's never gone hungry, who's never wanted for
anything.
She thinks she knows what's comeing, and she thinks that she can handle it.
She has no idea.
The second convert is a semi-famous network celebrety. A thirty-something worldly adventurer. She's traveled across the stars, seeking out some of the toughest and most inhospitable locations known to man or alien.
Maxamillion and the heiress picked her out specifically for her skillset, and her conversion wasn't willing.
Drugs in a wineglass and then the brain-reprogramming helmet.
The third girl is a starstruck teenaged idiot.
She's reasonable clever, in most situations, but she's the kind of gal who would (did) get suckered into a sketchy cult just because a couple of famous people were in it.
She can cook, she can clean, she went camping with her dad once or twice, and she's pretty enough.
Mostly the heiress picked her up as 'The help'
Then there's Maxamillion Lordsworth himself. Avid hunter (amateur) hiker (amateur) mountain climber (in simulations )and sharpshooter (against stationary targets)
Having three girls be brainwashed into thinking that he's the strongest and smartest guy in the universe has gone to his head, he actually thinks that he's That Guy, but he's not. The kind of loser who unironically refers to himself as 'an alpha male'
He's probably going to die in his first week. Or at least he would, if the toilet stall he was in didn't just get blasted by the first warhead of a pirate ambush, instantly reducing him to atoms mid-shit.
As the transport ship begins to respond to the sudden attack, the passangers begin to panic.
The call goes out, 'all hands to lifeboats'
As they make their mad-dash to their assigned escape-pod, each of the three girls grabs what they think is most important.
The Heiress grabs her glittertech AI-core, which contains the total sum of technological knowledge required to build a thriving community. Sadly this datacore has, unbeknownst to her, been damaged by the sudden attack, and will requirelong hours of effort to unscramble any data held within. (research action)
The Net-personality is a practical woman, she dashes for Lordsworth's locker, grabbing his bedroll and stuffing it full of as many prepak survivial meals as she dares spend the time scooping up. She also snatches up the hunting rifle that he was so proud of.
The third girl, the 'ordinary peasant girl' has other priorities. She saw the section of the ship that Max was in get obliterated and is fully cognizant of his death. She is also still mentally processing the massive male-supremacist brain-rewrite that she has recently undergone.
As a result, she grabs the single most vital thing she can think of.
The nearest man who can tell her what to do.
Now we meet the POV character, Dave.
Dave is a scrawny 22yo junior ship mechanic aboard the passenger liner. He has no idea what's going on, and despite his useful-sounding job-title, he's functionally a janitor. He's never been camping, never had a girlfriend and can count the number of times he's even been on a planet on both hands.
Somehow he finds himself being pulled away from his assigned post (and assigned escape-pod) towards another lifeboat assigned to passenger-group 28b. The girl pulling him along is babbling something fierce and he can't really understand her, but she seems to think that it's very important that he evacuate in
their pod instead of his own, and frankly he's not really feeling like complaining.
The ship feels like it's coming apart at the seems and his own assigned lifeboat is a good bit further away than hers is.
What is it they say, 'any port in a storm'?
They crash down in a desert area on a nearby planet. Partially terraformed, breathable atmo, drinkable water. Potentially habitable?
Then Dave has it explained to him that he's now the leader of a patriarchal sex-cult, by virtue of being the only male they could find.
Gina the adventuress grabbed Max's rifle, but one of the tenants of their 'religion' is that women aren't allowed to use guns.
This is particularly stupid, because Gina is a trained markswoman and actually accomplished hunter who shoots bears for fun.
And now she's having to try to walk Dave through the operation of a rifle so that he can bring down some kind of elk, because the nanites that rewrote her brain won't let her do it herself.
Jade the heiress grabbed the AI-core, but she needs to essentially sold crypto-puzzles in her head in order to actually make progress decoding any infomation from it, and until she does the only technology it will give them access to is Neolithic era.
Tara, the 'normal girl' is currently having a panic attack.
Tenants
Major: (involatile, cannot be broken)
- Only men can be leaders
- Only men can use guns
- A man can (and should) have as many wives as he can get.
Minor (can be broken, but obeying these tenants feels 'right' and going against them feels 'wrong', causing mechanical morale bonuses/penalities)
- women shouldn't wear clothes (they can if it's necessary, but they feel bad about it)
- Women should cook, clean, sew and make babies.
- A woman should always be sexually available for her man.
- A woman should be obedient and submissive, and never question her man.
Really, given how direct and how stupid these commandments are, it's kinda surprising that Tera got suckered into this cult willingly. She must be really weak to rich/famous people telling her to imitate them.
Also it's kinda shocking that Max managed to convince Jade to
willingly agree to these as the founding principles of their religion, and to accept brainwashing to enforce them.
"Actually, most of these were my idea."
"
What."
Potential new recruit down the line
Kali: Tribal woman. Vicious raider, shows up to attack the protagonist's camp/colony.
She's not an adherent of Maximillian's dumb cult, but she is part of a tribal society that reveres great warriors, and believes that the defeated should obey their conqueror (mostly because they themselves go around conquering people)
Naturally, Dave Gloriously Defeats Her In Single Combat. (Read: Hides around the other side of a doorway and clocks her with a wooden stool when she chases him through.)
As a twist, she's actually fully aware that David is a soundly unimpressive fighter who just got lucky and suckerpunched her, but she's violently in denial about it. If he's not a Great Warrior then that means that she got defeated by some loser, which makes her a
double-loser.
As a result, her honour demands that she stab anybody who tries to downplay this pimply janitor's 'Grand Deeds' as 'just luck'
Even if that person is Dave himself.
As you probably gathered, the basic jist is that dave is a fairly unimpressive specimen, physically and mentally, but multiple people's lives (not least his own) are reliant on him stepping up and acting like a leader, because he's the only person present who hasn't been brainwashed into believing that their gender makes them unsuitable for leadership roles.
Edit: Gina isn't allowed to use a gun, but she's fit as hell and quickly fashioned herself a spear. She's basically an amazon.
