Zeroth


NEBULA )) (pl. nebulae) A blanket term for the synthetic life forms commonly found in the wild. Believed to have been originally developed from unearthed dragon remains. An invasive species: has diversified, evolved, and all but replaced native flora and fauna.

FOLK )) Refers to ancient and primitive civilizations; their stone ruins are common in undeveloped places. Little survives of what they were truly like, but stories and legends abound.

LABYRINTH CORP )) The label on every high flier, scum skidder and deep mover in production. Most high-quality machinery, vehicles and weapons have the LABYRINTH mark. Known for their innovation in -- and monopoly on -- bio-machinery.

HOLOGRAPHIC ORTHOGONAL BROADCASTING ORGANISM (H.O.B.O.) )) An essential device that everyone carries on their person at all times. A newer, fancier one comes out every year (for those who like to have the latest thing) and there are billions of available styles and specialty functions.

THE HELIUM FRIGHTFUL )) A living sky-vessel, captained by a renowned vigilante, in need of a crew.

To Set the Mood

ART )) the gallery of Cosimo Galluzzi
- A colorful, post-post-apocalyptic world that's full of uninhabitable spaces-made-inhabitable and 'magic' born of a fusion of technology and a new kind of synthetic nature. People adapt, people find creative and unusual solutions to their problems, and people continue to love and laugh.

MUSIC )) Feel Good Inc, as covered by PostmondernJukebox
- I think it'd be fun and hilarious to focus on 1920's era music style!

BOOKS/MOVIES ETC. )) Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Eureka SeveN, Guardians of the Galaxy, MushiShi, Mad Max, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Dragonball

Plot Concept

A usurped king-turned-vigilante is in need of a crew for his new sky-vessel. He promises adventure and heroism, but makes no mention of money or comfort. Instead of the usual skill requirements, all he asks is that applicants completely and honestly fill out a form with very personal questions.

Gameplay

Each player will propose and help run a small adventure that is personally meaningful to their character -- essentially everyone takes turns being co-GM. There will be an overarching plot, but it will develop only as the characters do. Once the most recent post reaches '7 days ago' -- or everyone has posted what they wanted to, whichever comes first -- the GM will make a post to keep the stories moving, whether or not the acting co-GM has posted. Players are encouraged to worldbuild a bit for their turn at an adventure.

Characters

Everyone is human -- mostly. After centuries of adaptation following the extinction of most natural trees and wildlife, and the widespread practice of body alterations and messing with genes, there is no longer a norm. Social equality is part of the reason most people wear layers of clothing, hats and helmets and veils -- but mostly this is done as protection against unpredictable weather and unstable air quality.

Heya!!

Okay so I'mma get on making a app in a bit too. :DD

But @Mokley in the chara sheet under the question DO YOOU TRUST ME? Does that refer to you as GM or is more like "Why should anyone trust your chara?"

@Girlie1Bomba Good question! That actually refers to the captain. The CS is actually an application that the character is filling out and will submit to the captain for consideration as a new crew member -- so it means, does your character trust this Golby based on what vague knowledge they might have about him?

Alright. @Mokley heya boss.

Sooooo I'm almost done my app but just a few questions before submitting:

~does it break something in the RP if my chara lies on the app. She is on the run and a bit off in the head.
~can we know any crew NPC prior to RP start?
~what other kinds of flying things can we have worked/travelled on?
~can we mix magic with science? or is that a no-no here?

Thanks ya!

@Scrub Mage This is quite possibly the most unexpected and unique first character in a long time, haha. He would definitely make a very interesting personality to keep the inter-character dynamic alive and well. Approved! Feel free to copy him to the characters tab -- and if there's anything you think I should know that's not on the sheet, my PM box is open or a post here is cool! :)

~does it break something in the RP if my chara lies on the app. She is on the run and a bit off in the head.
I like what Scrub did above -- you could make your own OOC comments in parentheses if you feel the character isn't a reliable narrator. :)


~can we know any crew NPC prior to RP start?
I wasn't planning on any other crew besides the captain and the PCs, so unfortunately that'll be impossible. :(


~what other kinds of flying things can we have worked/travelled on?
I dunno, do you have an idea in mind? :D


~can we mix magic with science? or is that a no-no here?
What kind of magic are we talking? Give me your ideas and we can work out something that fits the world! :)

@Mokley Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, I don't know how I missed that part from the sheet. I added it to the application, hopefully, it fits for a good mini-plot.

@Girlie1Bomba Aw, Boogle's great! Totally approved -- go ahead and copy her to the characters tab!

I've got to say I think I have a general idea of what's happening, but I think I have to ask for an explanation. ;) She's a test-tube assassin among others like her, trained and abused and brainwashed by scientists. Their ship crashed, she escaped, and everyone else .... died? As far as she knows. Is this accurate?

The final adventure should really be written OOCly, or at least paraphrased. I gather that you mean that her ongoing plot is to find the others that are like her, and hope they're not too brainwashed to join her in living a peaceful life?

Yeah, that's the general idea. It's cliche child assassin crossed up with neko love toy at her core :/

Okay and will give summary to the adventure part then. thanks ya :33

@Mokley Heyyo, been lurking for a while and checked this one out several times. Was just gonna observe but then, I got an idea for a character. Would a mid-late teen one be fine? Can be seen as a helpless/careless character but survivability A++. Kinda read something RPers don't like helpless charas, but are you fine with having one in this RP?
