This is gonna be long, you don't need to read it all if you don't want, you won't miss anything cruicial!
When humanity fell as we know, the world fell into menace. Let's just say things went s***. So there were the big ass nothing, oceans dried, cities ravaged. But do not expect this to be the end. If films about the apocalypse taught us anything, it is that there are always survivors. So there were a few who survived. They hid underground, and lived on scavenging. Hundreds of years have passed, generations were born and killed, and eventually the weather conditions calmed. Humans came on the surface, only to find a barren wasteland dominated by sand. But underground water sources kept them alive, and they started their settlements. Soon they became big towns, then a great empire rose, that assimilated all. We call them the Ashurians. But human greed is far beyond any other instinct, and the second apocalypse came. Wars against each other, everything they built so far got destroyed again. To escape certain death, the Council of Seven made the blueprints for a vessel similar to the ships of the old world, that could soar the skies and escape our own demise. They gave in to Gabriel, who we now call the Archangel. He built the mighty Lightning, a magnificent airship which he used to search for a new place to settle down. He found the remnants of an old city, and thaught the survivors how to build his ship. Soon he started to spread the word of the Mighty Seven, and teached others how to make airships. Now humanity left the Earth and travels on airships to survive. Based upon Steampunk technology, the dominate the skies with basic balloon technology. But who knows what awaits them?
Phew that was a long one! Don't bother if you gave up, I told ya you can. So what is this? An RP about an age where humanity uses airships to travel. They travel from settlement to settlement, trading and fighting pirates. These settlements are either canyons and river beds where airships can park, or cities with skyscrapers as beacons for travellers. We would be a crew of the TSS Magnificent, a usual ship. Only difference is that the captain (me) is the son of Gabriel, and the ship has some modifications to make it stand out. We would discover new technologies, and help humanity rebuild, occasioanlly find secrets.
So what am I looking for?
It would be the best if we could get around 5 people (and me) to be the crew of the ship. I think you can already tell that I am not dead serious, so if real life happens we understand, and the be active part of any RP is thrown out the window. Posts should be short but not as short as in free, so around 2 moderate pharagrpahs.
Do you have what it takes to conquer the badlands?
@CandiBarr I have the feel that you are one of those gals who love slice of life RPs and expects this to be one of them. Or I am totally wrong and I beg your pardon if I insulted you. Matter put aside you are in
@6slyboy6Yes, I do enjoy slice of life but I don't see this being one of those, although I am still very interested and capable of creating and roleplaying a character for this scenario.
@The WhackoWhat he said....is exactly why I am so interested. I've been craving a Mad Max roleplay but this sounds even better.
I need a second roleplay that isn't the one I'm GMing (The headaches it brings me) but I'm very interested! Mad Max steam punk pirate badasses. I can dig that. You can count me in.
@The Whacko Definetly! Your wish is of my least interest my command! I hereby declare that there IS a Doof Warrior onboard. I was tempted to call Gabriel's airship Magnum Opus, but now I am sure that OUR ship will be it!
But tell me Y'all. Do you seek to plunder the wastelands, and rob the merchants, or rid the Dunes of the evil tyranny of the Ashurians?
@Desire I understand your bipolarity after the Magi and Machina, but I do want to know. It will help me make the story and the ship better. Not to say better understanding of the "plaers" is a goal for every GM.
@6slyboy6 Bipolarity? I don't know if I should take offense to that or not... And I'm trying to fix it! The combat system is hard to figure out...
But I was more or less thinking something of the taco commercial when I said that. But on a more real note, we could be pirates, but either out of necessity or be forced to perform good tasks to stop Tyranny. If we're talking DnD it'd be sort of a chaotic good.
@Desire It was not an offense I was thinking the same. But the thing is, that is mostly around surviving and not fighting. To sum up this idea the BEST, read METRO anf Guns Of Icarus lore. And a Mad Max aspect. So pirating threatens humanity, but can get you the living. But we'll see. As soon as we hit 5 members I will make a thread :D
@6slyboy6Hmm I say we get the thread and characters up and as the story progresses decide what to do, with survival the priority. Maybe making decisions that question logic and morality? I dunno, but I hope we get all the people we need.
So down to counting! @CandiBarr is one, @The Whacko makes two, @Desire is the third, @Voltus_Ventuswill never hit the dirt is four, and I makes 5! Hoooray *opens party poppers* I'll go and a make a topic RIGHT AWAY!
