Hello! this is a reboot for a RP I created a little while ago, and would really like to pick up and continue again!! It's in the distant future, where humanity has unlocked the art of space exploration, and come in contact with other intelligent life who has also managed to do so! I have a more detailed plot right here, and I have created backstories and different species of aliens (that I will add into the RP if this gets interest!)
In the year 2030 the lonely isolate planet of Earth sent its first brave men and women to Mars. 30 years later, the United Nations sent another crew to the Red Planet to start colonizing... This was the birth of human space travel. It took them another hundred years to travel farther, and eventually in the year 2338 Earth finally found the secret for galactic travel. So Earth embarked on the greatest expedition it has ever devised. Their search for Extra-Terrestrial life didn't take long, as they were soon contacted. The Human race soon encountered an organization called the Galactic Committee. The Committee consisted of different species from different planets that served under their set of laws to keep peace within the Galaxy. It didn't take long for humans to add their influence, as they had the first Human diplomat inducted into the Committee only 20 years later.
120 years after the humans joined the Committee there have been much more treaties, agreements, and prosperity. Humans now have allies, and have been exchanging technology, it was the Human's Golden Age. But, like every civilization, there is not total peace and order. There are some alien races that have not accepted the Committee's treaties and keep to themselves, other races have become intergalactic pirates. Planets and species will have their civil wars, diplomats will disagree, and crime is everywhere, like every colony.
At this time there was also a dropped rate in stellar exploration. It was an exciting idea for ships to go out into uncharted territory, to chart, explore, and record data of new worlds. That idea quickly died when more and more ships never returned back to the Committee. The farther out Explorers went from the known galaxy, the darker and deadlier it became in any direction. The harsh reality was that even though this was a Golden Age, there was always crime and corruption.
The amount of volunteers to go out and explore plummeted. In desperation the Galactic Committee formed a new law: Any criminal found guilty could be charged of their crime... Or, they could sign up to be in the Expedition Force for the Galactic Committee. Many of the criminals who signed up to explore the galaxy died within weeks by either attempted mutiny, pirate raids, or other complications... But there is one team lead by a notorious criminal that has survived much longer than anyone ever has, and has been known to defuse galactic tension.
They are called The Marauders. The crew is mostly composed of criminals, but some of the Galaxy's best have joined the infamous group to help better the galaxy, or for the thrill of adventure. Many crew members have come and gone (mostly by death), but the commander and captain of the Marauder's has survived through everything the Marauders have gone against.
The Golden Age is going strong, and mostly due to the work of the Marauders. Do you have what it takes to become a member?
We are a group of space explorers, mostly composed of criminals, who should have died a long time ago, but have defied the odds and have become the most known exploration unit in the galaxy! Although mostly all of them are criminals, some people volunteered with their own reasons for joining the Marauders. Do they want to explore the unknown? Or make a difference? Do they seek redemption, or have their own personal agenda? The choice is yours!
I would be interested, especially with the possibility of different species of aliens being playable. Would it be possible to send me the list in PM before posting the OOC?
Hey everyone! If Jones allows it again than I will be the Co-GM of this RP. Please feel free to ask me any questions and I will do my very best to answer them.Anyways, what I am trying to say is Welcome! ^_^
@Nightwing95 We do have a set list but you are more than welcome to make your own Alien species as I have done so in the past and will be using her again. She was not from the set list so I would be more than happy to PM you the list unless you want to give it a go with trying to make your own. I know someone that will be rejoining and they are actually an Alien that is listed but have given their own ideas or twists one what they think the species can do.
I just read that we can make up our own aliens? Any restrictions on that in terms of physiology? i.e do we have them all humanoid with the same four limbs and a head template? are can we go a little more imaginative?
Yeah, there will be a lot more races and species of aliens than what we've created, but the ones on the RP list will be the majority of the population, and things like that. I really like creativity, so if you PM me or Akaya about what you have in mind, we can tell you if it works, knowing us we will most likely accept it XD

Since there's so much interest, I'm going to try and make the RP sometime today when I have the time, and I'll notify everyone when its up!
