So...since my Park Pobedy idea didn't exactly work out (I blame time travelling Russians), figured I might as well get some Satanist related roleplay in, also to pass the time while waiting for other threads to move along . Anyways, based on what others said, apparently there's little to no mention of the Satanic cult in the books (correct me if I'm wrong). In that case, a Satanist related rp should (hopefully) not interfere as much with the established lore. So, here's the idea: In numerous stations, there's been a string of violent murders. It has become evident that these murders are all done by the same person or group, as each body seems to bear the same marking: a bloody pentagram, carved in with a blade. The killer, aptly nicknamed "The Starmaker," is still at large. Your job? Find The Starmaker, and take him down. The roleplay can start in different ways. Maybe you find a victim's body and take up the case, or maybe a station's leader hires you to look into the murder.

hat's some Cthulhu case right here, we could add a monster being interpreted as one of Satan's agent. It would manipulate the satanists minds. The only sentient species we know is the Dark ones, but there may be more things out there that can play with their brains... I don't know what do you think?

The Satanist in the book would kidnap people or it was heavy hinted that the Reich gives over undesirables to the Satanist, where they would be used a slave labor to dig to hell. No need to add in any monster to control them, human behavior is scary enough.

right, but then they don't kill in random stations either, they kidnap.

This sounds fun. Don't know how Sonya could get involved though. Maybe it's time to create a new character. A mercenary would be fun. Would be cool to create a mercenary group too if anyone's interested.

A gun for hire. Someone to protect someone or as a guard for a merchant. Not necessarily hitmen, but being hired to kill someone may be one such job they could be paid to do.

but what about freelance mechanics and other workers, that can share their skills that can't be found in the host station in exchange for a short term contract?

Well, that stuff would work out as well. I suppose it could be a group of people you can hire for varies task would be an interesting idea.

How about this... A random NPC witnesses the Reich and the Satanists exchanging prisoners. And thus a gang of heroes gives chase to save the prisoners.
Or something like that?

Hey maybe our character are the ones that are kidnapped, and must fight for their lives to get out.

Well, the, "save people from cult hideout" thing was apparently done in the books, so I figured we might as well do something besides that, hence the Starmaker, but maybe we could blend some of the ideas together? For example, uhhh, we look for the Starmaker, but then he ends up kidnapping us?

That sounds like a valid idea. I don't like planning threads too much, but we do need an idea and a general direction we can all agree upon. We also need to agree on a location, but I'm thinking this won't be just in one station. I like our characters getting kidnapped, but to what ends? What reason does a murderer have to kidnap a group of people?
