Firstly, by "FxFxF" I simply meant that it will be 3 female characters. I do not mean for that to imply it will be a threeway relationship or that it is about their relationship to one another at all.

So anyways, I'm looking to sort of GM a 'campaign' so to speak. It won't really be an RPG, you won't have stats or items or levels or anything. We won't be rolling for attacks or anything like that. However, I will be GMing it rather than playing a main character myself, controlling all the NPCs and whatnot that are met throughout the RP.

Now what will you be playing? You will be playing three girls who wake up with no memory in crashed pods. They don't know who they are, who each other are, why, or even where they are, nothing. They seem to have complete amnesia. All they know is that they seem to have unique weapons that stand out from everything around them, and everything they meet tries to kill them in a sprawling city.

Throughout this RP, your characters will explore who they are, where they came from, and why they are in this place they don't understand. They will uncover secrets, make allies, and enemies, make hard decisions that could decide the fate of an entire planet, and ultimately progress from small scale stealth RP, to large scale, all out war as your characters discover more about themselves, and this world they find themselves in as well as the people within it.

What's perhaps a little odd about this RP is that your characters, while your own and your own creation, have predetermined backstories of where they came from. You cannot logically create a backstory for your character from the beginning of the RP, because you as the player know as little as your own character does. So along the way, you will be learning about your character, and developing their character alongside their own self-revelations. You can't say "My character was an Engineer before being thrust into a war bla bla bla" because you don't know if an engineer is even a thing where your character came from, or what wars might have happened around them.

By the end of the RP, you should be left with a character you have fully grown with, someone you can either take into other RPs, or continue into a second 'Campaign' with me and the other players with.

Because of this, I'm looking for people who are active, and able to post frequently. My only requirements are don't leave the group hanging for days on end saying "Sorry, I went and started a RP while I have class and schoolwork, and other RPs I'm doing, bla bla bla". Before you even post that you MIGHT be interested, look in the mirror, and say "Do I have the drive, and the time to put into this RP?" and if the answer is no, then it's best to leave it at that.

Otherwise:

This is a Sci Fi RP. Not quite on the level of say, Star Wars or anything, as this takes place on one single planet and does not include space travel, world jumping, or anything like that. In fact, this RP will take place mostly in one single city. For Sci Fi, it's more like Halo level of Sci Fi excluding space travel. At least, as far as technology goes. In fact, this is a pretty apt comparison, as you will find your enemies have technology similar to that of the UNSC, if not a bit darker. Your own technology is easily comparable to that of the Covenant, just more refined. And there are other weapons in this world that will be apparent that could be compared to the weapons of the Brutes (Spikers, Brute Shots)

It will be heavily combat focused with a lot of story and dialogue going on in downtime.

I said your character is already predefined, but that is not fully the case. Here are the exact things that are predefined, and you as the player have no control over:

What your character is
Where they came from
Why they are there
How they got there

What they look like, the weapons they use, their personality, their names (Once they remember them) are all up to you. Until the moment comes when they remember such things as their names, they will simply be referred to by the numbers on the pods they find themselves in. 01, 02, and 03.

So, who wants to go on a scifi adventure?

I'm down! Can you at least tell us if they will be human, or will we be playing as some kind of alien race?

Basically Human with some differences. It's part of the discovery. It's sort of like Star Wars where the appearance is Human, but nobody strictly calls anyone 'Human'. They call them by faction names instead.

This is pretty amazing. I could probably post every 3 days or so... but i've never made a sci fi character before. In fact, this would be my first sci fi rp. You mentioned Halo but do i need to have knowledge of halo before starting this? Just wondering! Because id love to do this but im feeling a little intimidated

I'm kinda in the same boat as cosmicsherbert. This sounds amazing and incredibly interesting and I'd love to give it a go, but I don't know if my lack of sci-fi experience would hinder the story. I am totally willing to go Internet hunting to familiarize myself though.

I was only using things like Halo as a comparison. I will be using pictures and such to make things very easy to understand, while also describing them as we go along. You don't need Sci Fi experience as long as you understand what Sci Fi in general is.

My only issue there is the 'post every 3 days or so' part. That's unfortunately how RPs often die... if the other people in the RP have to wait half a week just for one person to post so the RP can continue, and then they all get their posts up, and have to basically forget about the RP again for another 3 days. It becomes extremely difficult to stay interested in the RP because a few weeks passes and you're basically still in the intro of the RP.

Like I said in the poast - "Because of this, I'm looking for people who are active, and able to post frequently. My only requirements are don't leave the group hanging for days on end"

After RPing on many different sites and through many different methods. The number one thing that bothers me about RP, is a RP not going anywhere, people not posting, which every, single, time, leads to the death of the RP entirely.

Well, that takes away my concerns, I'll happily toss my full interest at this. Though I'd honestly be okay with waiting three days for a good post. Three days does not seem like a long wait, at all.

OOC is up roleplayerguild.com/topics/174470-gen…

It might not seem like a long wait to you, but for others who want to keep moving... and that includes myself, it's a long time. That's half a work week for me.
