Default Our World [RPGU]

:: Role-Player's Guild Universe ::
An Attempt To Make A Better Mousetrap

:: Basics ::

The RPGU (Role-Player's Guild Universe) as it is called, is not one point in space-time; there is no one plot, accept for the one that the players create. Everything is connected, in some minuscule way, to everything else that happens within this world.

Characters and Empires are free to rise and fall in this universe, free from the burden of a creator's looming hand, or the confining walls of a singular plot.

And nowhere is off limits. Your character can enter any point in this universe; with the singular rule, and obvious, rule that you can't be in two places at once. Unless you have a clone of yourself, which is likely, keep it down to one thread. But feel free to move your character(s) between threads.

The basics are quite easily to sum up, considering the real content comes from the players themselves.

:: Rules ::


Now for the hard part. In order to maintain some semblance of order in the RPGU universe, I'm drafted a short list of rules.

It's nothing draconian, but it works.
  1. No angel/demon/neko characters; overpowered characters (godly overpowered, not just strong); no Mary Sues/Gray Stu's.
  2. Follow the (to-be-posted) rules for Ships & NPCS. I'm serious about this.
  3. Have some common sense.
  4. You can make things up, as long as they don't contradict other elements. Things cannot share locations or exist within the same sphere of influence without acknowledging the other.
  5. Feel free to create threads within this universe
  6. Follow this ruleset.
  7. I am GM of this world, in the case moderation is needed. Until then, I'm only a normal member. (This only applies when shit REALLY hits the fan.)
:: The Third Great Imperium Of Humanity ::
Patriam Fecisti Diversis De Fentibus Unam
Fortis Et Liber

The lineage of humanity is a long one, dating back thousands upon thousands of years into the murky past. From their humble origins on blue-green terra, the sphere of human influence has grown beyond belief. The Terran population started their ascent to the stars nearly sixteen thousand years ago, with the invention of Faster-Than-Light engines. They were one of the first races to do so, and are now none of the last great powers standing.

In every corner of the galaxy, you can find agents of humanity; or the agents of humanity could find you, on some blue-green planet just like their homeworld of Terra.

I like this idea. What races can we do? What is open for us to be allowed to do?

Maxwell's Interstellar Safari
We Hunt Everything!


The first interstellar hunter's union to ever grace the stars, our organization has seen centuries of gainful business and can boast a member count of several billions across the known universe, including some of the best known hunters of their (and our) time. From the lowliest, spear-wielding savages of the feral worlds to the mysterious extra-dimensional entities whose powers transcend mortal understanding - and the innumerable railgun-wielding snipers in between, you can bet there'll be at least one of them among our members. Known widely as the leading guild in the business, our reach virtually unlimited, we've been known for flawless preservation and swift delivery ever since the beginning. Whether you live in a condo overlooking the smog-drenched clamour of a hub world, or you huddle in a mansion at the farthest reach of a spiral arm, our services are only a phone call, a proton wave or a smoke signal away! Need that special ingredient to spice up an important dinner? A special fur for that special someone? Maybe you just want an impressive set of horns to mount on the wall, without all the hassle of getting them yourself. In any case, Maxwell's Interstellar Safari can put you in contact with the best hunters in your region, set up a contract and guarantee the safe delivery of your requested goods.

If it moves, we can get it for you! Contact Maxwell's Interstellar Safari today - and remember, We Hunt Everything, and we mean everything!*

*Maxwell's Interstellar Safari accepts no responsibility for deliveries of questionable legality. Customers are responsible for knowing the laws of their area, are held legally responsible and will be charged with fraud as well as murder in case of accidental hunts of protected species, including sentients.




I think we can do pretty much anything we want, actually. Anyone wanna join the union?

Is this worth caring about? No, but I don't have signatures activated anyway.

This does look interesting...

So, how does it work? There will be multiple threads?

Ok, so I have another question.

We are making one character, but we are also making a nation for that character?

And if so, do we control this nation?

Characters and Nations are independent.

You can create nations and characters, and characters for nations and nations for characters.

This is interesting, although it'll be very hard to keep track of everything. Is there anyway to simplify it?
