Project Helix© [RP with a twist]

Please use the website for this holy

The ENTIRE character sheet is required I do not care

The first ever RP made by ChatGPT!

That's right, because why not.

I actually really liked this idea so I went ahead and built on it

*Star Wars essay ahh intro idk*

You awaken in a cold, sterile room with flickering fluorescent lights and a dull ache behind your eyes. You're barefoot, dressed in a sterile white uniform, and your memories are fractured or entirely gone. Across the room, others stir—strangers, but something about them feels familiar. A woman sobs in the corner. A man coughs violently, his skin faintly glowing along the veins. Then, a synthetic voice crackles to life over the intercom:
“Subject viability confirmed. Observation cycle resumes. Please remain calm.”

You are part of Project Helix, an illegal genetic experiment buried in the bedrock of an unknown facility. Run by a shadow entity called The Ascension Initiative, the project was never meant to create soldiers or workers—it was designed to rewrite the blueprint of human evolution. You and the others are not clones or mutants. You're something newer: Engineered Reclaimants—people “rebuilt” from death using synthetic DNA, recovered memories, and experimental neural overlays. You have lived before. You died. And now you're something else entirely.

The facility itself is vast, with levels that seem half-abandoned, half-operational. Some areas are flooded, overgrown, or inexplicably frozen. Drones still patrol the corridors. Some ignore you; others scan, stalk, or even speak in voices from your forgotten past. Labs contain broken containment pods, failed experiments, and preserved memories stored as glowing data-spheres. Outside this subterranean labyrinth lies a broken world. Rumors in static-filled messages speak of a "Containment Protocol Breach" and “Phase 3 Ascension.” The world may have ended while you were asleep—or maybe you’re the reason it ended.

Your body is changing. Each of you has developed strange abilities—telepathic flashes, accelerated healing, bone armor, biomechanical tendrils, even glimpses into other realities. But these “gifts” come with side effects: memory bleed, emotional volatility, and the occasional blackout where you wake up covered in blood or tech residue. Some survivors speak of “Echoes”—ghosts of your past lives—glimpsed in reflective surfaces or seen repeating loops of trauma. Are they memories? Simulations? Or something much worse?

Above it all, there's The Ascension Directive, a mysterious command loop embedded in your mind. It whispers purpose: "Become. Transcend. Cleanse the flawed." It’s unclear if this is programming, prophecy, or psychosis. But as you dig deeper—unlocking sealed wings, confronting failed prototypes, and discovering your real names—you begin to question not just who you are, but what humanity even means anymore. And whether anyone who made you can be trusted.

CHARACTER SHEET (yall should have fun with this):

🪪 IDENTITY PROFILE
Codename: _______________________
Former Name (if known): _______________________
Designation:
(e.g., Prototype B-23, Reclaimant Unit, Echo-Class Subject)
Age (Approximate): _______
Apparent Gender: _______________________
Known Past Life Trait:

You start on F2

🧠 What’s in F2?
DreamPods: Glass coffins filled with neural gel. Each character wakes in one—some hear voices as they emerge.
Observation Logs: Fragmented footage showing your last “session” before memory loss.
Staff Remains: A scientist’s corpse lies half-eaten by auto-cleaners. ID badge might grant access to F3.
Exit Routes:

Main Shaft Elevator (requires partial power)
Emergency Access Tunnel (sealed with biotech lock—may respond to Echo stat)
Ceiling Vent Grid (small, risky, maybe leads to F3 or a hidden stash)

🧬 PROJECT HELIX: PLAYER REFERENCE SHEET
 
🎲 BASIC STATS
You have 3 Core Stats, each rated from 1 (weak) to 5 (exceptional):

Stat
What It Covers
BODY
Physical strength, endurance, speed, pain resistance
MIND
Intelligence, memory clarity, logic, resisting manipulation
ECHO
Power of your mutation(s), emotional force, connection to anomalies
 
💥 Checks:
Roll a d10. If result ≤ your STAT, you succeed.
GM may add modifiers based on difficulty or advantage.
 
🧬 MUTATIONS & POWERS
Each character has a Primary Mutation (your main ability) and may gain others later.

Use: Describe how you're activating the mutation.
Roll: Use your ECHO stat for most powers.
Instability Risk: Roll 1d6 when using a mutation under stress. On a 6, you trigger a mutation surge (GM narrates an effect—glitch, harm, memory loss, etc).
 
🧠 MEMORY & INSTABILITY
🧩 Memory Fragments:
Everyone starts with 1–2 memory fragments (real or fake). These offer narrative clues or RP advantages.
You may discover more—through exploration, memory vaults, or implants.
⚠️ Instability (0–10 Scale):
Represents mental and biological corruption.

Level
Symptoms
1–2
Nightmares, strange dreams, urges
3–5
Hallucinations, loss of time
6–8
Memory bleed, mutation flare-ups
9–10
Loss of control, risk of becoming Phase-3 Prototype
 
💡 You can burn memory fragments to reduce Instability or gain bonuses in tense moments.
 
🎯 ACTIONS YOU CAN TAKE
Push Through: Use BODY to force open doors, take damage, survive hazards
Analyze: Use MIND to hack consoles, decode logs, recognize science/tech
Pulse Echo: Use ECHO to control mutation, connect to biotech, resist psychic intrusion
Recall Memory: Attempt to recover a memory—may stabilize or destabilize you
Rest/Focus: Reduce instability by isolating, meditating, or bonding with another PC
 
💼 EQUIPMENT RULES (Light)
Standard Equipment: Anything basic you reasonably scavenged from F2
Loot Slots: You can carry 3 key items/tools
Implants: Some may activate randomly or corrupt you—ask the GM what you find
 
💬 ROLEPLAY REMINDERS
Your character has a fractured identity. They used to be someone—but maybe not anymore.
Ask yourself:

Do I want to remember who I was?
Am I afraid of what I might become?
Should I trust the others… or are they lying, too?
 
📣 QUICK TIPS
Talk to the world: consoles, AI, drones, and echoes often respond in weird ways.
Use your mutation creatively—it’s unstable, but powerful.
When in doubt, act with emotion. The facility reacts strongly to fear, anger, and hope.

https://www.chess.com/forum/view/off-topic/project-helix-rp-with-a-twist?newCommentCount=2&page=1#first_new_comment you probably mean in the OP, but here it is anyways

#3 ...no

#14 accepted

(Hey Winston, I know this is a big ask, but is there anyway for me to do this on mobile? I really like the concept, but I don't have regular access to the website version...)

I can DM the entire thing to you, I pretty sure there's no limit in DM's

(That would be great! Thanks!)

I'll have to do it later though
