= EARTH-2 INEXORABLE INVASION =
=========================

To start off my time on RP Guild, I'm going to try introducing one of my old RPs. The quantity of background information on this is colossal, so I'm going to rewrite it from the start rather than copy it. Anyway...

********************



The year is 2395. Humanity's many decades of hyperspace travel, prospection and colonisation have brought rise to a number of wealth brokering worlds. To ease the bureacratic process a central government was formed, this being the birth of the CDS, or the Coalition of Democratic Systems. The CDS government coordinated the planets towards a mutual colonisation policy in the outer rim, allowing the CDS to create a second sphere of expansion surrounding the originial core worlds. The eastern colonies of this virgin space quickly became powerful industrial centers, acting eventually as bases for the expansion into the 3rd and 4th spheres. In the modern year, the CDS still continues to expand the 4th sphere mainly in an effort to capitalise on the resource rich planets at the brim of CDS space. Space exploration, terraforming and mining are currently the top industries in the CDS, and corporately controlled planets are becoming commonplace in the 4th sphere.

This is where the RP starts. Characters can be pretty much any human, but they can't be a member of the central government or a high ranking member of a corporation. There are no aliens (not right now*) but there are sub races within the human race. The first time I wrote this RP back on Impulse, everyone went altruist, which is fine but too much altruism can cause an imbalance between protagony and antagony. I've picked out some statistic files for each sub race that can be chosen as part of character background:

-- HUMAN --



The generic term for the majority of the human race, not modified or enhanced by any unnatural means. Highly adaptive and intuitive, they are the predominant race in the known galaxy and occupy most posts in the CDS government. The modern human is well educated, democratic and willing to befriend a sub race. Without their adaptivity, the human race as a whole would have never expanded into space and the CDS would not exist.

-- FLAMING NINJA --



The name for the macabre neo-imperialist terrorists, as the CDS has branded them, that appeared sponteneously on Luthan Prime during the 2nd sphere expansion. They are stealthy and brave warriors as standard, though a little dumb and incapable of acting without a superior authority, yet also incapable of betraying it. They are human in appearance, and the manner of their 'arrival' has provoked controversy and even communist scares. They are not recognised by the CDS as a sub species of human.

-- CYBRATE --



Cybrates are humans who have enhanced themselves artificially in some way, such as through the use of bionics. Humans often become cybrates to suit extreme occupations, such as long-term mining in toxic atmospheres, or high-risk military missions. Though stronger and more athletic by standard issue bionics, cybrates lose their ability to adapt to a changing situation and thus rely on normal humans to create their ideal situation.

-- ILLUMINATI --



The name given to humans gifted with potent time powers. The power of an Illuminati varies, from the simple ability to move ball-bearings about to the power to ravage the entire surface of the Earth, though no Illuminati has so far reached the latter power level. However with such power comes a debilitated physique, and most Illuminati will exhaust themselves even just by running for metres. The exact cause of the conception of their powers is unknown, but it is understood that the powers can be inherited from a parent. The CDS considers them citizens, but it is common for Illuminati to be exiled from religious communities and gatherings of people. These exiled Illuminati travel the galaxy and become all sorts of outlaws, from pirates to mercenaries to rebels.

More races will be coming soon, and so will factfiles about each planet, but for now I'll post up the required fields when creating a character:

NAME: ...

OCCUPATION: ...

HOMEWORLD: ... (feel free to make your own planets)

AGE: ...

BIOGRAPHY: ...

RACE: ... (again, feel free to make your own races)

ALIGNMENT: Against the CDS; For the CDS; Unaligned

IDEAL WEAPON: ...

APPEARANCE: ...

*Vatican Incident: In 2010, an armada of ships from an extraterrestial source launched a sudden raid on St. Peter's Square, the Vatican. Counterattacks were repulsed and Rome was utterly destroyed as the ships left. Since the incident, humanity has not made contact with any alien species.

When you're ready to join, please subscribe by e-mail: legend_of_the_mighty_spasm@live.co.uk. When there are at least 4 players, I'll consider starting it.

BTW, I actually forgot to give the whole thing a plot! Guess I was just too caught up in the development of the story. The whole idea is for characters to be involved (but not too involved) in their own sub-plots, then something extraordinary happens that shatters the foundations of the story and brings about an abrupt change.
