Dead Space RP idea's

Idea 1 - Tau Volantis

Set in 2314, starts one month before the Necromorph outbreak. This gives time to establish characters and then see how they break when the Necromorphs are unleashed >:3 even the kindest people can turn into monsters in such a terrifying situation. Our characters won't directly be involved with any of the named characters, those characters will be replaced with proxies I or other players control themselves. As they won't be main characters, they don't need bio's unless they get used more and more.

Only ONE player is allowed the option to play as one of the Extinct fish Aliens found on T.V. Note - None of the Human players will be able to understand you. So, you will need to use gestures and common understandings to help them figure out what you're telling them. If you play an Alien, you have a very difficult task. The race was very advanced with their social and technology progress, so don't have your Alien thinking stuff that makes no sense in the context of their race.

Idea 2 - Earth

Set in 2514, starts 2 hours before the Moon's arrival, our characters are survivors of the original Necromorph outbreak caused by the Marker. Everyone is on edge, willing to kill anyone that gets in their way if it means survival and safety.

If these don't interest you but you still want a Dead Space RP, comment a setting below :)

Questions and Answers

"Can I play as a Necromorph?"

Yes you may, just know that you can and will get killed quite quickly as Necromorphs are hostile to Humans. But, that just means you can play various Necromporphs lol. Note - You cannot play boss monsters as that is just overkill lol. No Nexus for you.

"Can I be a Unitologist?"

Of course, it's the largest religion in the Dead Space universe

Expectations

- If you're talking to another players character, tag/mention that person so they see it in notifications. You don't have to respond instantly as soon as you see it, but don't keep the rp halted if you don't intend to be active. Remember, other players can see when you're online if you're not set to invisible :)

- Post limits. Do NOT go off with another player to leave the others behind if they're offline. It's rude and can ruin the rp. There's no post order, but keep it sensible. That means, don't skip a week into the future just because it's convenient for you.

- If you want to get into some stress relief moments with another player, take it to PM's or fade to black, as per the rules of the Guild.

Suits

I've got a huge list of suits appropriate for both idea's. But, for the sake of the interest thread - suits on Tau Volantis like the Legionnaire (Military Suit) don't have Kinesis or Stasis, as they're soldiers. Not engineers/workers.

It's a decent idea. Unfortunately Dead Space 3 was a train wreck with no survivors. The first two games were SO good too. If you really want a good story then try one as if Dead Space 3 never happened. Just make up a new outbreak location.

@Necrophage

I loved Dead Space 3, sure it wasn't that scary - but I loved all the plot elements for the story itself :P

Besides, one of the idea's is an AU and the other is pure survival on Earth once the moons arrive

I love Dead Space. Nothing like cutting up the undead with a laser saw. Can I have a custom suit? Nothing like Iron Man or War Machine. I just want to add little gadgets here and there.

Dead space is quite neat. Could make for a fun thing for certain.
Though as for no stasis part, I'm fairly certain soldiers are the ones who have stasis, as I recall one of the games you get into a military vessel, where all the soldiers turn into twitchers and whatnot.
Never played or saw through Dead Space 3 though. I remember a fair bit about the first two games and two of the movies, but nothing about the third game. Hoh well.

@CoughN

If you keep it within reason and explain the suit upgrades, sure

@Foxymew

They have stasis in the modern era, but 200 years prior, kinesis/stasis was only advanced tech for engineering/etc. The soldiers didn't have it on Tau Volantis

@Metadude Ah, yeah. Tau Volantis would be DS3, it seems, the game I never got into. Whopsie, my bad.

@Foxymew

Give it a shot, it's relatively cheap now and it's pretty good. The DLC is great too :)

@MetadudeMaybe. Maybe. Guess we'll see what I can afford myself, christmas being so 'spensive and all.

@Foxymew

*Thumbs up*

@Metadudehnnnnng, it's not on Steam thoooough.

@Foxymew

Origin (where DS3 is) isn't as bad as people think it is, it's fairly easy to navigate

@Metadude I all ready have origin, it's more that I'd rather keep everything in one place, y'know. Oh well, I'll consider it. did pick up DS 1&2 tho.

Okay. I will. Just a flashlight and mini flamethrower with only one burst of flames for emergency situations.

@Foxymew

Add it as a non-steam game on steam, downside is origin needs to be running too unless you get a modified exe

@CoughN

Flashlights are on most weapons and you can have an actual flamethrower as a weapon if you want XD

I know but if my character looses his weapons or something you for emergencies.

@CoughN

Flashlight, sure

But, a built in flame thrower will need to be a no as if the tank for fuel gets punctured, you're going to burn alive AND die, no matter how many health packs you have XD

It would only be a one use thing and that's the draw back of having it. It could save my life or kill me but if you are set on no that's fine with me.

@CoughN

If this were some other franchise or original idea, i'd be okay with it. But with Necromorphs that can carve through suits like butter, it's simply a very dangerous idea. But yes, the answer is unfortunately no as it's hazardous to both your characters health, and their allies

Ookay
