Would anybody be interested in doing some world(universe?)building, maybe in a joint Google docs folder? We could have separate pages for each species/world, flesh out existing interspecies relations, go into more depth about the various major points in history and how the different societies feel about them, etc. It could be kind of like an in-progress encyclopedia, with new info added whenever the team discovers something. Would that sort of thing be okay with you, Whiskey?I am aware that I'm geeking out hardcore, btw. C:


Y-YES! P-PLEASE PICK ME SENPAI!

What a great idea, Berry! I initially planned on having a database for our discoveries, but an all inclusive codex with past history and relations along with it would be tremendous. I'm definitely on board with that!! We'll even use it in the RP to share with other species/civilizations/entities we'll encounter...this in return, could reflect specific behaviors that may be given to our characters because of their species and faction affiliation.

^haha I love it too. I'm a big time closet geek. None of my family, friends, or coworkers know that I RP at great lengths like this.

edit: Frettzo have you decided on picking a primary role yet? Engineer or Scientist.

Oh my gosh awesome.

All right, Google Docs are a little clunky, so I decided to make a PiratePad instead. I don't know if anyone's familiar with these (I've never actually worked on one myself), but as far as I can tell, it makes one big, collaborative document that anyone can edit, with a specific color for each author, basic formatting tools, and a nifty little chatbox.

Have at it, folks!

Edit: if you guys prefer separate pages, I can still set up a shared Google Docs folder, but while everyone with the link could edit documents, it looks like I (or whoever "owns" the folder) would be the only one who could create them. The best solution I can think of is just to make a ton of blank documents that people could pick up and work on as they were needed. Anybody have a preference?

Oh, right, the primary role! I'm not sure, to be honest. Both seem pretty intensive on the research side of things. I guess I might go with the scientist. I can research on demand when the time comes.

Thanks for putting that together Berry. I'll have entries prepared for Species: Kruhara, Ordru, Rashilians, and Esselari. Since none have claimed to be the founding species for the factions, I'm going to put Kruhara as Draithosi', Ordru as the Jujenkhan's, and Esselari as the Suraak'na Sigil - that is if nobody objects to that/planning on making a species that is a founder.

Note to other players still applying: This won't mean your species can't be part of any of those factions, they just won't be the original founders that built those factions from the ground up. Again, more of a reputation thing than anything.

You can switch your primary role to chef and your secondary can be a lab assistant if you like.

That would be perfect! My species will not be very big on the numbers or military might. They'll be more like natural explorers and knowledge-seekers.

Great! Chef and Lab Assistant is reserved. That means only one spot for a character is open: Engineer. All secondary roles are taken, but as mentioned earlier, you can choose to be an assistant for any of the primary roles.

Maybe we can have separate documents for each type of info? Timeline, Species History, Faction History, etc. ??

Species origin for Humans? I am not sure what to write. But my history is done!

You're free to make up whatever type of history that would incorporate humans into the galactic community with sol as the origin point, or from another system entirely. Did they join in on the galactic war? If so, who were they aligned with? We're way into the future. .. so did they enhance in anyway, or stay the same? There's a lot you can say, and it's entirely up to you.

I'm gonna have to bow out of this without even writing up a CS I'm afraid. I love the idea and the setting but I've read through everyone's character's and while they are great I'm having trouble coming up with one that I think would compliment everyone's and make for solid stories.

The look of our ship has changed from the previous pic in the op. We'll be cruising in this bad boy now.

Great work, Frettzo! I found her being a chef, even though she herself doesn't consume food, an interesting concept. To me it shows how selfless she is, which reflects on the nature of Foreas people as a whole. The tree concept is cool too! Welcome aboard!
