I do hope there's the possibility for them.

• The Gap Series by Stephen Donaldson
• Revelation Space by Alistair Reynolds
• Golden Age by John C. Wright
• Culture Series by Ian M. Banks
• Zones of Thought by Vernor Vinge

@babbysama

I, personally, have read none of those books.

<Snipped quote by Lauder>

Now you can! :D

I would personally recommend Blindsight, it's pretty batshit but kind of awesome. Haven't gotten to the end yet but so far it's been a wild ride

Updated my history section.

Also, I'm looking to start a space opera for inspiration. Right now I'm working through Blindsight by Peter Watts, but since I'm on a sci-fi stint at the moment and due to this RP I thought I'd continue.

Has anybody, by chance read:

• The Gap Series by Stephen Donaldson
• Revelation Space by Alistair Reynolds
• Golden Age by John C. Wright
• Culture Series by Ian M. Banks
• Zones of Thought by Vernor Vinge

_{have tried to read Peter F. Hamilton's series but I'm sorry reading about characters named fucking Wilson or Bob in a god damn sci-fi novel dulls the imagination---it's SCI-FI think of some better names for fuck sakes}

@Hael Totally going to doubt your leader somehow, at sometime.

<Snipped quote by Hael>

You could call him 'the Quintessence' or something.

<Snipped quote by TheSovereignGrave>

It doesn't have to be super creative to be a good title, though. I like it.

<Snipped quote by Hael>

The words that immediately come to my mind...

Manifest
Pure/Purity
Will
Master

Turning these into a word or phrase that conveys the idea you had might be a start. I like Conjoiner myself.

EDIT: Actually, Quintessence is REALLY GOOD, Grave.

<Snipped quote by Hael>

The word "Primarch" comes to mind

You could also mess with the spelling of words like Divinitus from Divine

Sounds like the word "Gospel" or "Prophet" or "Messiah" rings to me even tho they aren't religious.

@Shorticus
Their version of antipersonnel weapons are massive (yet-unnamed) bombs used to scorch significant percentages of a planet.

War with or among my Collective is something quite unlike what you would expect from literally every other species, at the least the X'cor have use for slaves. The mats do not.

Hello there good people of this most interesting roleplay. I'd like to express my explicit interest, and also my desire to grab that delicious co-GM spot.

so we using chatzy or what?

I do hope there's the possibility for them.

@Hael I sent you a PM by the by! When you get a chance give it a gander. Thanks!

@Shorticus You do have a point, you know...

I do enjoy the Ender Saga and the protagonist's last name is Wiggins and there's a race of aliens called the piggies.

I just think Hamilton's schtick was just kind of "Space Captain Wilson Heimer" or whatever with a lot of slang that just kind of took me out of it. Also, glacial pacing, at least in the Commonwealth. GLACIAL.

I still have to post my CS here before posting it in the CS section, right?
