Hey!

This is A Hostile Galaxy, a science fiction nation RP based on a few distinct game characteristics. I am known for my stat based RPs and this is no different. Let's talk about A Hostile Galaxy.

-- First Contact: Most science fiction RP's deal with bloated empires on the verge of tearing at the seams. One of this RP's great characteristics is that of first contact. All civilizations, whether they have only their home planet or several inhabited worlds, have until the first few turns of this game, will have never met another intelligent life form.
-- Diplomacy: Once first contact occurs, there will be instances of diplomacy required. These bouts of diplomacy will deal with minor civilizations controlled by myself, the moderator.
-- Economics: While keeping it simple, a base economy has been developed so that one might be able to shape themselves into an economic power.
-- War: While inevitable, war will be abstracted in sending orders and seeing them unfold in front of you. Generals, be weary.

Civilization Creation
There are 15 or so Characteristics, each with an underlying ability. When you create your civilization, you may select any two. Some require a certain physiology to be relevant, others are political in nature. Once you've selected your characteristics, fill out the application below and we'll get the game underway.

----------------------------------------------
CHARACTERISTICS (Choose 2)
-- Tough: A hostile life has turned our people into exceptional physical specimens. [Decreased Military Casualties]
-- Disciplined: Defeat and surrender are considered beneath us. [Military Leaders -50% Cost]
-- Curious: We have long kept our eyes to the stars, wondering what my lay in the blackness. [Starts with 3 Free Technologies]
-- Industrious: Long have our people toiled, understanding that work is freedom. [+1 Labor Per Population]
-- Spacefaring: We have already settled our solar system, seeking the secrets of the galaxy. [Starts with 3 Free Colonies]
-- Adaptive: We are well adapted to survival in all corners of the galaxy. [May colonize ANY planet type].
-- Savvy: Our people are some of the slickest dealers and traders. [Tourism / Trade generates +2 Income/Turn]
-- Deceptive: There are few things more important than secrets. [Spies have +10% Success Rates]
-- Synthetic: Having transcended biology, we are superior. [Pop is created by spending 10 Labor, not Food]
-- Wise: Our scientists are among the best, there is no doubt. [Laboratories generate +2 Science]
-- Populous: Our people will flourish, no matter the cost. [Population Growth costs -50%]
-- Charismatic: Ever have we been popular and respected. [Diplomacy costs are -20%]
-- Trustworthy: Our leaders are revered for their truth telling. [Civilization generates +1 Influence/Turn].
-- Worldeaters: We take what we want, and that is all. [Does not build buildings. Planets generate +20 Labor for 10 turns. Then 0 after that.]
-- Evolved: We have surpassed the need for technology. [Does not build buildings. Cannot trade. Requires only Labor for all units.]

INFLUENCE.. RESEARCH?! What does this all mean?! Don't worry. There are 3 Resources.

Income: This is MONEY. Generated by trade and tourism. This buys things.
Labor: This is WORK. Generated by population. This builds things.
Influence: This is political clout, generated by your leaders.

And you'll have the following:

Head of State: The leader of your civilization.
Planetary Governor (1 Per Planet): The leader of a particular planet.
General: Leader of an army.
Admiral: Leader of a space fleet.
Minister of Economics: The leader of your economy.

Posting my species now.

As an aside, before I settled on the Preservers, I had a rather... err... different species in mind. They were... well...

Maybe their theme song will give you an idea of what sort of personality they had.

Also, I'm assuming Buildings and Units don't go in our character sheet section? Or do they?

EDIT: Also, I'd like to name the Explorer vessel Absolution.

Shorticus. Feel free to jump IC. Here's how the OOC ACTIONS work.

You'll send me your ledger, which means something like this:

[b][u]CIVILIZATION NAME[/b][/u]
[b]INCOME[/b]: X
[b]LABOR[/b]: X

[b]EXPENDITURES[/b]:
-- [b]Explore[/b]: blah blah blah.
-- [b]Build[/b]: blah blah blah.
-- [b]Research[/b]: blah blah blah.

[b]Remaining Income[/b]: Y
[b]Remaining Labor[/b]: Y

So feel free to PM me that. Jump IC. Let's do it!

What does the 1/3, 1/1 means next to Worlds?

That is a solar system. If it says 1/3 that means you have colonized 1 out of 3 possible in that system.

@Theodorable

You still taking new comers?

Indeed! Make an application, by all means!

@Theodorable

I did not see I had a ship until now, I'll name it the... Wandering Eye.

HOMEWORLD:Vena

SUBSEQUENT COLONIES: (N/A)

CIVILIZATION DESCRIPTION: The Venians are a race of thinkers. They have many great philosophers and writers. The Venians are naturally curious and as such have developed a moderately advanced society. Veanians tend to live in large groups and do not take well to isolation, as such Vena has many large cities, but very few villages.The Venians are somewhat close to human looking. They have angular features and pale skin, ranging from a porcelain white to the only slightly pale (Note that skin color is somewhat of a status symbol. Paler skinned Venians tend to be on the upper echelons of society). They average at about 6’ 2” at maturity and typically weigh about 130 lbs. Thier thin stature makes them decidedly unfit for physical pursuits. They have human like hair, but with no uniformity on color or length. Some people have long, flowing purple hair. Others have short, dark hair. The Venians also have little to no pain tolerance. Venians do, however, have a stunning intellect. Though this manifests in many different ways. Some Venians have photographic memory or are skilled at math. Many Venians are immensely good at gauging someone’s thoughts by looking a them, a trait that makes many Venians great traders.

Leaders:Head of State: Eileenac Valamor
Planetary Governor (1 Per Planet): Montai Vikas (Vena)
