I was planning on making multiple threads and hope one of them would make it for the long term. But if we're all running in discord then when people drop out the remaining crews might blend into one (as if someone quit their job and a replacement is sought) to continue so that's a good idea. I'm not so big on the fleet idea, though. Most missions would be for one crew only, or it would get weird.

I only recently started using discord. Is there a limit to the amount of channels you can make for a group? Also, you can speak with people privately, right? Because sometimes someone in the group might be privvy to info the others don't know. And I'll have private questions for the captains for sure.

On a side note, isn't it thanksgiving somewhere this week for America?

@Blue2

I think the limit is 100 text channels and 100 voice channels. And PMs are a thing.

I live in the Philippines; Thanksgiving isn't a thing there.

@Blue2 I've a dedicated RP Discord channel if you need any set up. There is no (feasable) limit the people and channels. And yes, you can use PMs to talk in private.

Thanksgiving is this Friday I beleive.

@6slyboy6

Alright, if you have a link for discord. Any ideas on how to do it with characters? Make a character thread in discord, does that work?

[6slyboy6]

@Blue2 We can make a text channel for character sheets and/or IC if we want to.

@6slyboy6

That would be good. We would need a general ooc channel, and ic for team 1, an ic for team 2, an info channel for team 1, an info channel for team 2 (where I can map out the progress) and a character sheet channel. So that's 6 channels to start off with

[6slyboy6]

@Blue2 We can make that no sweat.

((I sent this sheet through PM. If you haven't received it, please let me know))

Dear all,

Thank you for your interest in my sci fi quest adventure world. I hereby provide you with a character sheet to fill in.

-By submitting this form, you agree to make use of discord where this roleplay will take place. The link will be provided when I receive your form.

-You will do your best to post daily. It's a free to casual roleplay, so I don't need entire chapters, just enough to keep the story moving.

-You also agree that if you do not respond for 48 hours and others are waiting for your character before they can move on, I may step in and reply for you instead. If you can be reached I will discuss the next move with you. Otherwise I will improvise.

-If you don't reply for a week without explanation, your character will be written out of the rp and replaced. If you have a reason why you can't reply for a while we can find a way for others to move on without you (your character could fall ill, be asleep, take some personal time...)

On a happier note, the character sheet:

Name:
Age (18+):
Appearance:
First position:
Other skills:
Personality:
Strong points:
Weak points:

Family:
Financial situation (ie broke, rich, moderate savings):
Weapons*:
Goal in life (ie get rich, help people, gather fame, use skills, discover new places, have fun...):
Secret**: TELL ME IN PRIVATE
Brief history:

*Weapons: this is a sci fi game. I will allow knives, but no swords. Also keep in mind that stun weapons exist in my universe and kill weapons are illegal for anyone but lawkeeping people. If a lawkeeper finds any of the crew to carry kill weapons while on a quest, the captain will lose guild points, which could mean demotion to a lower rank which means higher missions are unavailable. Also, if the weapon is found by a law keeper, a fine must be paid and the weapon is confiscated. (That said, some lawkeepers may be open to bribes, if you have the money)

**Secret: I'd like for you to think of a secret that the other members won't know, and which may or may not be exposed during the rp. This could be anything from a fear of dogs your character is ashamed of to a piece of history they don't talk about. Maybe they have a sister who is in jail for something, a brother who is a religious fanatic or a military history they're not proud of. Or perhaps they were assaulted as a young child, they never met their father or their hair may not be their real hair. Big or small, it's your choice. As this is a secret, you don't have to mention it in your character sheet, even if should be in family or brief history.

Have fun drawing up your character!

So who's who, and what do they do. Gotta min-max these crews so we better communicate.

[Blue2]

I posted this earlier:

@Zhaeth: captain/weapons guy
@Conscripts: captain/navigator
@Illiren: Pilot/weapons guy/chef
@cashmeoutside: Pilot/engineer/contact
@Helo: Muscle/mechanic/pilot
@spencerishere: Medic/alien tech specialist
@JewelProphet30: Medic/chef
@Sierra: unknown

There are two captains. I also see two pilots, two engineers and two medics medic. One more engineer/mechanic would be handy for cashmeoutside, so a pilot doesn't have to leave his helm to go fix the ship.

Slyboy and letter bee came later so their submissions need to be added to this list but I don't know if anyone's gonna drop out yet.

Did you get the pm? Cashmeoutside didn't so I don't know if I spelled just the name wrong or the whole group pm went wrong sonce I can't find it in my history either.

[6slyboy6]

@Blue2 I got no PM from you.

[spencerishere]

@Blue2 Thanksgiving is thursday but many people travel today and the day after. And I never got a pm

Agile Thunder

Name: Min Lei ("Agile Thunder")

Age: 39

Appearance:

First position: Muscle

Other skills: Hacking, stealth, lockpicking

Personality: Cold, pragmatic, introvert.

Strong points: Min Lei works best as a solo-operative, due to her natural skills in eliminating single-targets with barely any weapon at hand. While also being able to move silently and swiftly through any environment.

Weak points: Min Lei has a hard time working as a team, or trusting anybody beyond the Captain. As thus, she has difficulty in large fights - as she isn't trained for such engagements or long-term endurance in-general.

Family: Dead

Financial situation: None

Weapons: Her body

Goal in life: Return to some semblance of normality

Brief history: Min Lei was born into the Pan-Asian Coalition - in the province of China, in the mega-city of Hong Kong. Her family wasn't very rich nor were they entirely poor either. Her mother worked as a cook at a nearby restaurant while her father handled the maintenance of the lower structures of the city.

Sadly, her and by choice - her family was target for Project: Yin. Namely the creation of specialized cyber-agents to be utilized against the Americas and European super-states. That involved kidnapping children at a young age, turning them into literal monsters and rebuilding their life in such a way - that they'd be forced to rely on their native province for bare survival.

Her old name erased, Min Lei was born - as they'd be tasked and trained in sabotage, espionage, cyber-warfare and assassination. Project Yin had many sub-units, all prepared for a different task. Her' was mostly assault and stealth - as her body was routed with cybernetics that would interface with her suit - making her silent and deadly close-up.

Chemical and psychological methods were used to keep the soldiers of Project Yin under control. That kept on for twenty-five years of her life - before the dosage after one mission was less than was computed. That started the return of Min Lei' own mind to her control - with her skills, training and equipment, she waited for the right time - before making a run for it. Getting onboard the first ship that agreed to take her.

I have not used discord before but don't mind trying it. Also I too didn't get a PM.

[Blue2]

I resent the PM's (except to NecroKnight as he already submitted a character)

[Blue2]

Dear all,

I now have 3 character submissions, all three with a heavy past and 2 out of 3 have bad social skills. Please keep in mind that your character is supposed to function in a group setting and that having all anti-social characters isn't going to work.

@Blue2

Ah, sorry about this, but decided not to join; I guess I wasn't as interested as I thought after all.

[spencerishere]

@Blue2 turns out my schedule really can't fit a day by day rp like this one. Sorry :(

[Blue2]

Hi guys! Hope you in the US had a nice thanksgiving! I have a cast of 8! Full sheets are on the Discord channel:

NecroKnight as Min Lei: Muscle (also hacking, stealth and lockpicking)
Zhaeth as Zaith: Weapons specialist (also first mate, captain)
6slyboy6 as Edward D. Thompson: Mechanic (also muscle)
JewelProphet30 as Xavier Jones: Medic (also cook)
Cashmeoutside as Lev Petrykin: Engineer (also pilot, contacts)
Conscripts as Anson Murat: Captain (also investigation, logistic, keen-eyes)
Eldarionl as Elinis Dystra: Medic (also science officer, mechanic)
Illiren as Sam Mors: Pilot (Chef)

I could use one more captain and another pilot (or both in one character) so we can start out with 2 crews. If you're interested let me know. Character sheet template can be found page 3 post 8.

[EldarionI]

I'd be interested in joining but I'm a bit new to this :) I totally understand if you want a newbie free thread :) Let me know and I'll get a character sorted ASAP :)
