Character-driven, fantasy/sci-fi roleplay about intergalatic, spacefaring team of elite individuals.

[TJByrum]

Influences: Star Wars, Mass Effect, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Avengers, Ratchet & Clank.

This roleplay would take place in the far future (with exceptions). It revolves around a rag-tag team of unique individuals who band together in a desperate bid to solve their own personal problems and potentially stop an ancient evil from returning... or something like that.

It is VERY character-driven. In this way, you will NOT reveal character personalities or history via CS's. They will be revealed via IC, and you should only describe history via dialogue with the other characters. So basically, as your character learns about their allies, so will you. The point is to get the characters to interact and get to know each other.

Going from that, each character has a personal goal. It can be anything you want it to be, but at the start of the RP your character is, or was, pursuing that personal goal but has either failed, or have been unable to achieve that victory. However, with the help of newfound allies you will have a greater chance of succeeding, so being in this team is mutually beneficial as it further elevates that level of character-relationships.

I want each character to be unique. Mine won't be unique, but that doesn't matter. Characters can be elite commandos, bounty hunters, mercenaries... wizards, time-traveling agents, whatever!

Is this advanced, causal, or free?

I'm interested anyway.

[TJByrum]

Casual.

But I work 5 days, sometimes 7 days a week. Just a heads-up.

[Heat]

So am I right to assume that all the characters would be on the same spacefaring ship in the RP?

[Pathfinder]

Interested.

[Schradinger]

I have some character ideas that could work well for an RP like this. Is there anything more you can tell us about the setting?

[TJByrum]

@Heat: Oh yeah; forgot to mention that. A ship, with personal rooms for each squad member, and each one of us has our own personal starfighters (probably starships you owned before you became part of the team).

@Schradinger: Think of a setting similar to Star Wars, Mass Effect, or Guardians of the Galaxy. Thousands of different alien lifeforms, hundreds of unique planets, FTL travel, that sort of stuff. I could explain more later.

There's one particular region called 'Deadzone' where no one faction controls it; it is a lawless and merciless region of space, which is where the story will mainly occur. It's core is a spacestation that has been built onto and added on for centuries, so it's sort of like an ever-expanding raggedy space-station, but it's a marvelous and impressive structure (more on that later). Mercenaries usually fight for control of this region.

Let me get off work tomorrow and I MIGHT post it.

[Numberfox]

Interested :)

[Numberfox]

And so would our potential characters also be from any of the series in terms of species, or would we be making it from scratch?

[Heat]

I'm very interested.

[Sovi3t]

I'm very interested

[Dead Cruiser]

I could definitely get into this.

[TJByrum]

Thanks for the interest!

Species would be custom.. but only to an extent. For example, no oversized gargantuans. Look up Guardians of the Galaxy, or Squad Members from Mass Effect 2. Those are very varied and different - but the design works.

Once again, I work 5 days a week, barely have any free time, and I possibly work 7 days a week.

Okay, so the galaxy is divided into four quadrants. No names for them yet, but I know one will be 'Deadzone'.

There are two major factions: the Starx Dominion and the Federation. You got smaller factions, like the Kerini Empire, but they're not necessarily important right now. The Starx Dominion is very military-like and field powerful, large, well-trained, well-equipped forces in order to annex all sorts of systems throughout the galaxy. They control a little over 1/4th of the galaxy. The Federation was once a collection of other factions who resisted the Starx Dominion, but they have been severely weakened after the Corvais Wars. The Kerini Empire... well, they once tried to conquer the galaxy, but that was long, long ago. Corvais was a very important, very advanced planet, and capital of the Starx Dominion. Tension built up between the Dominion and the Federation until a terrorist attack on Corvais thrust the galaxy into conflict. The war was long and bloody, and ended with a stalemate - a treaty was signed that pretty much placed all possessions in the hands of either faction (so no one really gained or lost any possessions). Corvais, however, was horribly damaged. The war began, occurred, and ended on Corvais, and the once-bustling metropolis is now a shadow of its former self.

Now the Starx Dominion is rebuilding. Corvais-2 has become the new capital of their region of space. The Federation maintains most of its holdings, but the alliance is weakening, and civil war is possible. Meanwhile the Kerini Empire suffered no losses in the war, and so have an advantage if they ever try to start one (there are rumors THEY were the terrorists on Corvais).

Deadzone... this is what I like. Deadzone is a region of space where no one faction exerts control. Thieves, thugs, smugglers, druglords, criminals, killers, assassins, mercenaries, bounty hunters, scum,... that sort of stuff runs rampant. Drugs, alcohol, night clubs, sex, and violence is common. Their is a large spacestation here that has evolved over the centuries. It has been added onto, modified, and expanded and is a marvelous site - a literal wonderment of construction, but built entirely by scumbags.

Planets in Deadzone are rich in resources, but no one can really get there safely.

TO BE FINISHED SOON.

So when will the OOC be going up? If you dont mind me asking.

[Primal Conundrum]

I totally have an idea for a character for this :D Essentially human too, just of a subrace that's become quite used to living in low or zero gravity- They're a good deal taller than normal humans, and not as physically strong, but when it comes to moving around in less than 1G environments, they tend to be a lot more nimble.

What kinda tech level are we generally looking at for this? Like, what are some examples of what would currently be considered high tech, and some examples of stuff that people might just see every day?

[Sovi3t]

Probably FTL drives, Laser Weaponry (Maybe Plasma Even) , Shields etc

[Sheikarah]

I am very interested in this, I even have a character idea, if you would be okay with me creating (kinda) my own species.

[Skepic]

Very interested!
