[OOC] You are Cordially Invited...[Closed until zelta 02]

[ScreenAcne]

@Voltus_Ventus

The A.I has a direct comms link from the authority so we kind of got something like that.

Definately, the party is meant to be faceless so I'm glad I put that image through.

The OS ironically is really low in the party power scale. That's why he's on the ship, he more akin to some petty expendable manager that's been shuffled into a bad position. They knew he's got a low chance of coming back alive, but the party got to have someone there to keep an eye on the crew.

Plus most importantly...if someone in the party WAS blamed, instead of the director who put zelta crew together the OverSeer gets the blame. It helps they're normally dead so they can't defend themselve either. I mean, he WAS the over seer. "He was directly managing them, who elses fault could it be that zelta crew died/turned traitor/ mutated into space nymph psycho cyborgs"

Happens rarely, most of the time it's the captain but it's an extra buffer.

Powerful people exploiting less power people who exploit even less powerful people.

So, bad news... Turns out my free time is going to be very limited the next few weeks. So I'm sadly going to have to dip out of this for now. I'd rather not turn into the lynchpin that grinds the RP to a screeching halt, simply because I cant get a post in.

@datadogieMeaning the AI slot is open again!

[ScreenAcne]

@Cleverbird

shit, kindred, it's all chiller than a yeti house with the windows broken. If you get time and the desire you're,motherfucking, welcome back. We'll be periodically getting new crew slots when the crew dies later.

[Cleverbird]

I'm keeping myself subscribed for that very reason 👍

[datadogie]

I'm sorry to hear that, @Cleverbird!

... AI slot AI slot AI slot...

But I hope things go well for you!

[ScreenAcne]

Shit, its starting to look like we might in the end have to start with less than a skeleton crew. It sucks because I felt that the base roles would add alot, but maybe we can start with a smaller ship and smaller crew. Hopefully when ZELTA crew 02 shuffle in more people will be interested when roles rotate/open up again.

[ScreenAcne]

Added the zelta crew flavor list to the Original Post. I've added the exact responsbilities under them this time, so everyone get's a bit of a clearer idea of exactly what each role will do.

[datadogie]

Is there gonna be a Discord server?

[ScreenAcne]

@datadogie

shit, discords groups aren't really my preference, comrade. So I didn't really plan to make one.

[officaz]

um, I am not positive about the point packs. i see all the options that you can have, but is it everything you want? i'm filling out a military request if it helps any

[ScreenAcne]

@officaz

What do you mean, brother?

You got 25 points to spend if that's what you mean. Each option cost in the role pack is below it. If you're unsure you can say you'll have a "Box of crap" that cost all your points and I'll give you a bunch of random stuff myself.

Name:Space Jobs

Age:35

Sex:M

ID:80124-H6O10

Appearance:
A brief description of your physical attributes. Space is a trained killer, and shares the physical and mental mold of his fellow militiamen. mHis hair is bron and naturally curvy, but it has a blondish tint inside his curls that look brown coursing through a good mashed-potato looking head of hair. He stands tall, and strong, ands he likes to keep good uniform and boot in his closet. Space has saved a eclectic bounty of regular and designer bandanas, which doesn’t fit his mood anymore.

Recommendations Officers Personality Observations:
Dr. Henry Drake’s evaluation of commander Space Jobs: Space Neal Jobs is referred to treatment from CO June Aeries due to anxiety. Thirty minute session time reports conclude that #80124-H6O10 Space N. Jobs has irritation/CNS/manic-depressive irregularities. Patient was admitted to medical specialty clinic and observed by myself, Dr. Henry Drake, and Dr. Gale Oshkosh. Over a period of time before reinstating soldier to enlistment (combat type), Dr. Drake and Dr. Oshkosh treated moderate anxiety with limit/none therapy and diazepam.

Traits:
He is an armed combatant. He has thick hair, and is very fit. He has a history of work-related anxiety, so he is given medicine. Sgt. Jobs is prescribed a more frequent use of medicine. His anxiety can make him jumpy, angry, etc.

He keeps his body checked every day, and he brushes his teeth and wears deodorizing accessories. He is a typical man, but he does like TV game shoes.

Your Agreed Contract:

In order for you to fulfil your responsibilities to the party within the depths of space you are hereby to receive a weekly supply of rations with a class of a C- anti-aging compound mixed within.

You will receive a class C (bare minimum) training for your intended role upon the ship.

You hereby acknowledge that refusing this contract will incur a fine of roughly 32 million liquid currency in accordance with the penalty of wasting party time. You also hereby that dying or failing to fulfil the duties given to you by the time your work contract ends will apply this fine to yourself, or if you die, to your next of kin.

Remember: Exceptional service may get you potential application as a party member!

Remember: Poor performance may be realized as improper commitment of applied duty and you will be billed for your lodgings, rations, equipment, medical services, air, gravity, power usage and human on human contact.

@officaz

Conceptually he's fine, brother but there are some things I'd like to see revised before I accept it.

Hider

1: You lost the code to the sheet. This is stuff that was in it like [hider] [color=antique white][/color] ectr. Please include this as it makes it look nicer. Or at least the hider since it makes browsing multiple sheets down the line easier.

2: I'd like a picture in the ID area. The picture can be of any style or medium.

3: There are some typos.

4: Traits are sort not phrased and explained in the way I showed in my example character-Michal Warrant- You can add a little to traits like Starlance's character did if you keep it very, very brief.

5: I'd maybe like a little more personality to the recommendations. Remember that in the context of the sheet we're getting a sort of officer perspective on him and as to why they're being put forward to ZELTA crew. The person doing this is most likely very aware that anyone going on this crew is going to die or be lost in space for a very long time and as such is being shifted about as expendable. Unless said officer is very niave/optimistic about the world he is

Officer in this case can be anyone from a parole officer, military, psychologist, human resources or security ectr.

I'd suggest you take a quick look at starlances or my example character before you make any changes

[officaz]

OK. So, I don't need to make some stuff too long-winded, and I screwed up that intro hider. Is that psychiatrist eval not good enough to authorize deployment??

[officaz]

Hey, sorry bro I have to go lickity split But I will return at 12 tomorrow peace

[ScreenAcne]

@officaz

Well, there's some questions. What IS our officer perspective on him. Because in this we just have a very formal psych report, we don't know his liabilities or personality by the view of our seargent. Why is being sent to ZELTA crew when the party could rope anyone with impunity to do this?

The officer doing this is most likely recommending him with full knowledge as to lethality-and length- of the job

Let me qoute @Starlance recommendation.

Hider

Recommendations Officers Personality Observations:

Former co-workers describe Ms. Tangeman as practical, work-oriented and straightforward with no social life. Her mother described her as stubborn. Subject has a tendency to voice her mind whether it’s appropriate or not. Combined with her stubborn nature, this has led to disciplinary action in the past, but may be used to the Party’s advantage, as the subject will not back down when challenged, allowing overseers to manipulate her into doing something she herself thought impossible.

I’m recommending the subject for an engineering role due to her vast experience with ship maintenance, but her troubling attitude makes her unfit for further stay at her current post. It should be noted the suspect and her mother never got along and she has no other family.

- Dr. Richard Franklin, Party appointed psychologist, Silaris shipyards.

From this we short piece we know that:

Key parts of her personality. She was probably tolerated and treated with a soft contempt by her managers. Reason why she's being pushed out of her current position

(from the general demeanor of this whole thing they seem to of got sick of her so they shoveled her off to ZELTA crew but they don't expressly say it)

It's a good way to build your character indirectly and their sort of relationship with the universe. Kind of gives you lore via implication.

Mustafa Mond WIP

ID Chit

Name: MOND, Mustafa 0mar
Age: 154
Sex: M
ID: I-D0C0Z-82384ddq-B

Appearance: A middle-aged man, standing about 178cm and weighing 80kg, Mond is barrel-chested and quite stout, and though past his prime, is still clearly well built. He has olive skin, face well pocked by acne scars and the onset of wrinkles quite evident around his cheeks and mouth. He sports copious body hair, with arms, legs and a chest that would have been the envy of the 1970s, much different from the artificially bald gigolos that were all the rage back on Earth. He keeps a dense beard on his chin and cheeks, greying as his stem-supplements begin to wear off, and he keeps his hair a curly mess.

Something like this but not exactly

ROPO: "Mr Mond has been visiting, totally voluntarily might I add, for decades now, a few years after losing his job-" "He was in those Nescafe commercials wasn't he? The Synthetic Caffeine guy?" "I believe so! But anyway, despite his refusal to admit it, he seemed a profoundly sad human being. I suppose that's what happens when you're unregistered offspring get recycled. But he knew the game he was playing. But recovery came with time, and the side of him I feared we had lost returned. He was considerably intelligent, though modest despite his knowledge, but maybe more alarmingly he seems to have higher levels of sympathy than the average person. But he paid enough to keep that off the public files." "Was he aggressive?" "Quite the opposite, he seemed a docile man, not argumentative at all, very secure in his own thoughts and capabilities. We tried to prescribe him anxiety inducers, but all implications point to him never having taken them." "So he's unruly?" "Maybe, not in line with party doctrine, certainly. Dangerous? No." "Why did he come to counselling? If he was so well off to begin with, knowing he would be scrutinised for his behaviours?" "Maybe he was lonely?" "Do you think anyone would miss his absence here on Earth?" "I doubt anyone would admit it." "..." "..." "What position would you recommend him for?" "Hm... Captain? He's a deviant, likely to take more care of his crew than his orders. If he fails, it would be a good reason to put him in his place. If he succeeds, he can be used as a showcase for the good that the space-forces do in rehabilitating the obtuse." "Noted, thank you for your time doctor." "No, Thank you."

@ScreenAcne I'm just going to plonk my WIP here, in case there are any inputs you wish to have while I am still working on it. I'm trying to make a little commentary about consumerism and the party's desire to get people to be more self-conscious thus more spendy. Which wasn't working in his case.

[6slyboy6]

@ScreenAcne Mmm, nothing rustles my jimmies more than some gritty space opera about our glorious coroprate overlords and the dreams of people getting crushed under the mad-max style steel boot of reality.

I hope I am not too late to the party to fire up some les miserables who will suffer for my and others's enjoyment >:D

Edit: quick aprse through the OOC, DID SOMEONE SAY AI? *brings out the copies of Martha Well's Murderbot Diaries* My body is so ready :

@Voltus_Ventus I see a Voltus Ventus. it has been ages my dude. I hope you're holding up fine!

[datadogie]

@ScreenAcne,

For the latter part of the AI CS, the Backstory, I'm confused by the two paragraphs that are there as an explanation;

The Paragraphs

Background:

A lot of A.I ends up in record storage for many, many reason. It can be a simple fact that the A.I was too much effort to move or improve and became outdated. It could be because the A.I pissed off as party member and was stored away. It could even be the A.I just wasn't doing what it's creators primary intention was.

You don't have a relationship status...yet...you will be reactivated in the ship when the crew vote for their vessel and its appliances/utilities.

Is the AI not activated at the start of the RP? Is it in storage? This helpful text confuzzles me. I'm almost done the sheet for the AI, but that part is blocking my path. ;P

[ScreenAcne]

@datadogie

You're in storage. Precisely, you've been uninstalled from whatever big system you were in prior and had your chip put in an enevelope and that put in a dusty cabinent with a bunch of other A.I stored away. You are re-inserted and "wake up" when the crew pick their ship(they will get to vote for one off a list).

@6slyboy6

shit, success in the scribery check, comrade. Each ship will have an A.I player with its own hidden laws and commands. Welcome to the warzone. We sort of short of a skeleton crew but when everyone in we can wing it slightly under.

The needed roles are medical or OS. Keep in mind you'll probably have you brain mutate into mush no matter who you pick. The chance of mot people surviving is very low.

@Voltus_Ventus

Looks great.

Only thing to I'd say is split up the recommendations paragraph a little bit to make it easier to read but I like the idea of showing a conversation, it still delivers the point.

If you're going to go down that route. It might make more sense if there was a coliation or something of merchants paying the party a lot to help them with that. The party itself would just make up some bullshit to fine you for.

"Hey, notice no more than 25% of your liquid currency has left your account this year. Spending is what a party patron would do. Your deviant behavour has been fined 60% of your current account" or something.
