I’m working on my character between shifts. A renegade type with a shotgun and laser pistols. Maybe a cyborg arm.

Since the planet is smaller than earth by a good margin, it would have less gravity, right?

Yes, but not to the degree of things floating off or being able to leap over entire canyons. I’ll double check on that and if I’m completely wrong I’ll edit to have Dumah slightly larger. Otherwise, yes - notable less gravity.

A couple of questions while I’m at it;

1. Without spoiling too much - if any - of the storyline, could you maybe give some more basic outline on the plot arcs? Like the general theme of the main narrative.

2. As far as the IC goes, any day estimate?

3. Does Dumah have any moons? Any info on other planets in the Ishmael system? Space ports?

1. The primary arc is going to be the Tycho Corporation and their hostile takeover of the planet. They already have a stranglehold on the only other habitable planet in the entire cluster and now they’re after Dumah basically. This RP was heavily inspired by Red Faction actually with bits of Star Hawk mixed in. The primary plot will be around an eventual “armed uprising” of sort and Tycho ultimately either being driven off the planet or seizing total control and establishing a “corporate dictatorship”. Even the players endorse the idea we may even can have Dumah totally secede from the Terran supernational collective totally.

Other secondary and minor sub-plots really will focus on the increasing raider attacks and increasing smuggler activities and Tycho and other corporations wanting them stopped. (Tycho only to an extent.) Minor arcs will be assassination chains, illegal AI and genetic research at remote labs, etcetera.

2. Well the IC itself will be reliant on when enough players have applied their characters and I’ve approved them. But the official thread itself I’ll start working on tonight or tomorrow and plan to have primed sometime Saturday.

3. Dumah had no moons. There’s a few spaceports for refueling and orbital trade/commerce along with refinery and docking complexes. But nothing major. As for other worlds, Ishmael has two other celestial bodies; a large gas giant on the termination shock and a volcanic planetoid on closer to the sun itself.

Cool! I'll get to work on my sheet in short order. I've got a big post in the works for another RP, but it shouldn't be too long before my app is ready.
