Welcome to the Wind Riders. Here, your past doesn't matter, as long as you're willing to put in the work and protect the people who need us. Our mission is to go where the wind takes us, helping those folks who need it and putting a stop to those who would prey on the weak. If you've got a ship, a heart, and an urge to lend a hand, we want you.

---

In this story, you are a member of the Wind Riders, an intergalactic band of self proclaimed 'heroes of justice,' determined to lend a hand wherever they find it's needed. You have a ship, and for whatever reason, you decided the best thing to do with it was fly around the universe and butt into other people's business. Regardless, in this story:

-Magic is real. Every species in the universe has its own methods of using it, and not every member of each species can, but with the technological ability of hundreds of space faring races, there are now even handheld devices capable of producing magic using electricity, although not as powerful as when cast by a mage.

-You will have your own ship, capable of interplanetary flight. How you got it, how it works, how you pilot it, those are all up to you (within reason).

-You are the good guys. Sorry, no exceptions.

Own ship each or as a crew?

You each get a ship of your own design, and you get to decide how and why it works.

They're all single occupant ships, like fighter craft.

So where will we be based? I’m guessing these don’t have beds and aren’t made for long distances?

Will keep an eye out to see how this develops. Not sure on if 100% committing.

What's the expected post speed/rate and length, though?

Seems fun, I love space adventures. I would be down.

honestly I'm usually pretty lax with length and rate, as long as you carry your own side of the action and you let me know if you're gonna be gone for a while, I'm good. I'll just poke someone if I think they're lagging behind.

I'm kinda handwaving interplanetary travel, just gonna say the ships are fast enough to make long distance trips on their own. This is gonna be less like super-realism scifi and more like 90s cartoon scifi.

Do you have more information on the setting at hand, like known factions/nations/countries, or is it more of a sandbox type of thing? What about the Wind Riders--how did they become a thing?

For now, most of the information about setting will be kept under wraps (Especially on the origins of the Wind Riders), I can say there are three major factions in the galaxy, two fairly typical government type factions, and one faction entirely based on outlawing magic.

Putting my tentative interest.

interest

Possible interest, though the vagueness leaves me a bit hesitant...

Sounds cool, I'm thinking I might rip off the Chinese space pirates from Outlaw Star for my aesthetic theme. Also Caster Guns are cool too.
