@Sep You cool with me establishing a place for non-essential members of the ship to gather before lift-off? I imagine an open space like a park within the Hub where the ceiling essentially clicks over to a surrounding display of Earth slowly disappearing. Think of it like a firework show. Obviously we won't go that far until lift-off ;).

So here's a question, I have things planned. Though what are you wanting to get from this RP? for you and your characters?

I would like to see deep character development allowed to progress and really have a significant effect. We have a number of characters with principles that may go beyond their own lives, or even their value of others aboard the ship. I would love to see these values lead to repercussions. For example, if Benjamin had to decide between the lives of a handful of non-essential crew or the Archive he would choose the latter -- not only because it's his job, but because he truly believes human culture is the key to survival. I imagine the dreamy, exploration-welcomed sense I got when first playing Mass Effect and hope we have a chance to craft such a dynamic world here as well.

@Sep I'm sorry, I tried to get a post done for today, but it just feels rushed and I'm not happy with it yet. I have to go now, but I'll make sure to get it done tomorrow. You don't have to wait for me for the take-off though, I'll just catch up tomorrow.

Once again, sorry for taking so long, but I'd rather postpone it a bit than post something I'm not satisfied with, at least for my introduction post.

@boomlover that is upto prospective players. We don't need a player in every department. If people wanna fly planes, people can fly planes.

@Lo Pellegrino Sure, Eden (check the OP under Vitae and in the Hub tab) has a holographic ceiling that could display Earth if you want a congregation for it, not everyone will fit in there but not everyone is likely to want to watch our home go byebye. You are free to make up another area in the ship, I don't mind people making up areas of the ship so long as it isn't universe breaking.

Hey, if you're not happy with it then that's okay. I understand (you saw how long I spent working on the opening post, I re-wrote it several times and I still think it could be better).

I look forward to it.

@Sep question. Its not that im planning it because i never romance in rp because i never had a real relationship. But how many children can parents have on the ship? Because where obviously gonna have children after a few years.

@boomlover the magic number is 2. Though it's gonna be encouraged that people don't instantly start procreation.

@Sep ok, also a question of interest is when someone will leave the rp will he become an npc or will it be the airlock?

@boomlover well the thing is I don't plan for Locke to start airlocking people. Some will become NPCs, some will just blend into the population and some may have something happen to them depending on what's going on at the time.

@SepAre military personel armed when on duty? Or would security be the only one's armed.

Engineers won't be armed, but I'd expect your character would be carrying a Side-Arm, in being a 'combat' medic he'd be called to incidents regarding security which could get heated.

THERE MAKING PREY !!! FIANLLY !!!

What I want from the Rp is not much different than anyone else's wants. I don't participate in that many RPs, not many click with me, so if this actually lasted a while, it'd be nice. Most of the ones I've played in the past died before I could actually do much with my characters, and I have a bit of a broad idea of where I could go with Jameson. Right now, it's just three-ish general routes: 1) Jameson's reintegration into the population, coming to terms with his past 2) Falling deeper into the rut he's dug himself into, becoming less sane and sociable as time passes or 3) Just straight up becoming a killer. That one I'm a bit excited about.

That being said, I feel Jameson could go really anywhere. All you guys studying Psychology scare me, too, lol. I feel like any mistakes or missteps I make developing Jameson are going to be scrutinized to the holy fuck. If I was going to college, I'd be studying psychology too, so I hope I learn something from you smarties.

@Firecracker_ I'm just going to college this year, took a year out to go to Australia and a year to work, year ended up doing nothing.

@OrangeInk is the smarty.

So here's a question, I have things planned. Though what are you wanting to get from this RP? for you and your characters?

I honestly can't say character development enough, it's my favorite part of writing. Well no, second favorite. My first favorite is actually creating the characters themselves. It'll be interesting to see relationships unfold and watch how the environment and circumstances affect each character and the way they think of and treat others. I also love the creative freedom that comes along with sci-fi RPs and it's been a while since I've come across a sci-fi RP that wasn't just military focused. I'm really loving how it feels so much like Stargate. If we do encounter other aliens I might be tempted to create another scientist character for the specific purpose of studying and interacting with them.

As hard as it is for me to keep up in the OOC I'm also really glad to see so much activity, you're right Sep it's a sign of a healthy RP even though we've just barely gotten started.

I would imagine they could still have this, but that all other screens/television would be broadcasting the Vitae's launch so people can watch it almost anywhere including their own private rooms.

@Raxacoricofallapatorius Indeed, as described in the OP all rooms have a "window" that can be programmed to show different things, including a live feed.

@Sep So who are we currently waiting on?

@Raxacoricofallapatorius,@Lo Pellegrino and @Xandrya but there's no rush.

Don't worry @boomlover you won't always need to wait for me, it's just because the take off is a significant event that I want stuff to do.

@Firecracker_ Having taken psychology courses for my safety and security program, I have to say it is a lot of fun once you get past the initial 'here are 300 theories that are already disproven but still important for your grade'. That said basically.. anything goes in psychology. Sure there are some limits, but there are a lot of theories (especially when you delve into criminology and crime related psychology) and a lot of them overlap and counter eachother.

So basically any 'slip up' you make can be related to your character just having a different theory than a real psychologist.

Of course.. that has it's limits.

@Sep As for what I want, well, interaction is the life blood of an RP. I'll be fine with anything as long as there is interaction. Also you need to give me a chance to have my character be brave and sacrificial. Death is always a good plot tool. :)

@Sep Was just curious was all.

@BuddhaWell, that's somewhat comforting lol. I'll try not to push the limits of that theory. Just hoping whatever route I go, I do it justice.
