Sci-fi, cyberpunk, planet hopping, monster hunting, money grabbing, battling!

[Dark Light]

So, inspired by a short on Netflix where in a cyberpunk-esque setting people linked minds with monsters and battled them.
I would like to continue and grow on this.

I want money to be a big thing.
From buying and upgrading your space ship (there will be battles)
Enhancing yourself with aug’s.
To even fitting out your monster with latest biotech or simply getting better monster hunting tools.

You will have to choose your battles wisely.
Money can be made in arena battles.
Bounty hunting.
Or simple errands (think firefly)

You will function as a team.
I’m thinking some sort of Cha sheet, perhaps like cyberpunk (or simpler) just so everyone has their own skills unique to the team.

This is still a very early wip
Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks for reading 😉🙏

@Dark Light count me interested, you just ticked most of my top 5 favorites list!

[Dark Light]

Congratulations!

Either by a steady career of dedication, consistency, sacrice and hard work or maybe just pure sheer dumb luck, at the turn of a new century you find yourself as a leader in command of a registered monster hunting ship and crew.
Will you lead your people to fame and victory, will your name become feared amongst the stars. Will your logo bring joy, hope, despair or will it even be recognised? The decisions are yours.

Still looking for people? Im verry intrigued! Also, if I may ask, is it Love Death Robots you where watching?

Sorry last point I've never played cyberpunk. If you'll have me I'd like some help with the character sheet.

[AwesomeZero5]

somewhat interested

[Dark Light]

@Midnight drag Yea it was!
It’s ok if you haven’t played cyberpunk, it was just a reference for the vibe.
So I imagine this is still a while off but would love input into the sheets/mechanics.

I am trying to build 3 aspects into the game.
1.) Monster hunting/fighting.
-This will be heavy combat T2, guided by stats. There will be money and fame to be won.
-Equipment will include upgrades, (biomechanical, cybernetic, ect) healing/storage tanks, weapons and catching equipment.

2.)Ship/Company build
-Here you take a more overview approach, As the captain you have to make recruitment decisions, build alliances, manage finances, balance a moral compass, direct your forces, ensure your people, creatures and aliens are fed and happy while keeping the ship maintained and in the air.

3.)Main character/world building
-Players should still have a social aspect. Drive, Personality, flaws and merits. This doesn’t have to be laden with stats but at least have a nice backstory. New locations and law will be built through this area.
I’m thinking a creation point system (CP) rewarded weekly.
Ie;
2 points build a new monster species or rare alien race
3 points would be either stronger or more common
1 = new town/land mark
2 = major important location/landscape
3 = new planet
4 = major planet
5 = new system

Feel free to put forward any input, ideas or character sheets. It will be muchly appreciated. Look forward to your feedback :)

[Midnight drag]

@Dark Light Would there be a sort of dice or play system for hunting/fighting? Also your creation system sounds very intriguing. How many creation points are you thinking for a starting character?

[Dark Light]

@Midnight drag

Not a dice system per say but I might occasionally roll the odd one to determine someone’s luck or likelyhood of something working out.
Stats are mainly a comparative. Influences the outcome but doesn’t always have final say. I’m also only just now thinking about letting players use CP to sway temp favour of the universe.

Like if you really want something to go your way, a battle, or you need your ship to hold together just a bit longer, slip by undetected.

CP, Startup would be a nice chunk to really get things going then maybe between 1 and 4 each week depending on your posts.
1 for new week (all players get)
1 for being active (3 decent posts)
1 for engaging/interacting with another character
1 for monster battle or registered mission.

[Midnight drag]

Okay I have some character ideas in mind I'll try and coincide it into a good sheet.

[Midnight drag]

Okay work in progress and I can certainly scale back if I took too many liberties in world building, but tell me what you think.

Info

Name: Khufu
Sex: Male
Age: Chronologically he is 58 yet he is biologically considered 24
Homeworld: Mars

Bio: Khufu was once a smuggler stealing material and chemicals from the factories on his homeworld of Mars to supply drug labs and weapon illegal weapon factories on the fringes of explored space. As the years went the smuggler amassed a impressive collection of scars and sins, and no small amount of wealth. Khufu would be rebirth when a deal went wrong and his ship was critically damaged escaping from the authorities. Forcing his ship into a un-mapped system and crashing him and his crew into a planet never seen by human eyes. His crew never survived the crash, neither would the man he once was.

Deep beneath the sands of What would be called Nal-Sallus lived The Mother. An ancient Insect who've lived in the sands of world since its conception. The Mothers owe children take centuries to develop and hatch inside their eggs and since the mother devoured her mate upon the laying of her children The Mother needs others to help guard her young. Taking the broken, barely living body of Khufu below the sands and as she had all sorts of creatures before him, she made him into one of her many adopted children. Injecting him with her own genetic material and enzymes to make him her own.

The material encouraged his healing and he recovered in astounding time. As his bones reknit and his cuts healed over, his changes continued. Mother had changed his mind placed her voice inside his head and when he awoke, Khufu was never alone again. Through a telepathic membrane encasing his brain, the voice of The Mother never left Khufu's head as the change had left her in connection with the young man. Through the connection the mother could see through her eyes, hear through his ears, feel through his skin and even feel his thoughts as clearly as if they where her own. Khufu awoke with a unstoppable devotion to his mother, either through a son's or love or an implanted doctrine by The Mother he did not care, for he was home.

The change had slowed the aging process for the young smuggler, every four years equated to but one for the smuggler and he spent these years in the defense of her mothers hive alongside his savage brothers and sisters. As the years went poachers and beast hunters would come to Nal-Sallus to become temporary allies or enemies, depending on whether or not Khufu was related to their quarry. After years of roaming the sands and steppes of Nal-Sallus would the planet be colonized by the corporations of Khufu's old life. Unable to kill or adopt them all The Mother sent her son with a crew of his human brothers back into the stars with a mission singing in her sons head.

If the Nal-Sallus could not be bought with blood, or The Mothers Love. It would be bought with cold hard cash. Khufu, first of her mothers sons would earn the capital to buy his home away from the rest of humanity. If he failed....Mother has many children.

Best of luck with your concept.
