A Sci-fi Merc RP, anyone?

[Hawlin]

Eh, sorry about that. I'm just on edge.

As I said before, I do agree with that philosophy though when it comes to dragons and elves and such I expect a lot of detail and thought placed into them, something that you'll notice when I post up the my version of the draconian race in the OOC.

As for the race itself it was originally made for a starwars RP that died long ago, I'll just be posting it as an example on what I am talking about. You can play as a member of their race if you'd like and I will admit that it might actually be better than everyone crating 50 versions of the exact same thing. The physiology and biology part was rather easy but then I had to add reasons and history behind them that still gave off a rather fantasy like feel but at the same time still keep it scientific. So... I made that tribal and was RPing out their evolution with Stryder. Of course, for this RP, the race will be played around about 200 years after such events would happen... when they started to build ships for space combat and that like while holding on to their ancient traditions and architecture style.

While I haven't displayed it yet, (I wish to keep it unknown until the OOC) I do have a CS made, thanks in part to one of my friends, designed specifically for Alien Species as a whole. (For the record, I also have one for individual ships.)

Truth be told, I actually intended on making the CS for the dragons myself. ...And depending on a few factors, we may have to have two types of variance in the Dragon Species.

Is this still accepting?

I'm afraid not, but I can put you on a list of Stand-by's in case someone leaves.

(sees edit)

Yeah... I didn't even start reading it yet lol...

I was just asking if you wanted my blunt truth or lying praise :P

[Hawlin]

Its back, I really don't know what came over me...likely rum, though. <_<

I see... Yeah the draconian race basically believed dragons were gods in a sense though they might see the other dragon species more so as cousins or angels more-so than their actual deities though.

In any case I'd still post my race so you can see it.

Sadly though the wait will have to be 4 days, maybe even longer since all my CSs are on a harddrive in CA and I'm in WA.

That's quite alright. Do take your time. I despise being rushed and rushing people.

And besides that, it still might take a little while to get the OOC up.

Which brings me to say to everyone, that I'm TERRIBLY sorry for the wait. The next time I make an RP like this, I'm going to make it a point to make the OOC before the interest check.

Drakel said I can tell.

I am the sorry and still appreciate your opinion. :x

Can yoi even find a relistic dragon half blood pictures I wonder?

[Stryder]

Wonder in silence you <.<

Yes... But first I need to know what these Dragons will even be like as half dragons.

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

Well the idea is Half breeds if you will, So Half Dragon half human no full dragon transformation or anything.

[Jinxlynx]

Well they could be full dragon, They could both possess a physical form and a Astral form, their physical form is of course the big giant lizard but their astral form is like manifestation of a soul that they can use to possess bodies of other creatures. While they are not inside of their physical self it acts as a dumb beast, hunting and surviving off of instinct while they are free to roam with their astral body, but if a dragon travels too far from their physical body they can lose it.

[Hailfire]

Oooooh. I read through all the pages only to find right near the end this isn't accepting. Ouch. I'll keep an eye on this regardless as I get the impression you are a well knit group of players which, in my eyes, generally means an rp is more likely to last. I might get lucky and have room made when or before the OOC is released so defo worth watching I think and I love sci-fi in general. Throw a little magic at sci fi too and woah! Anything is possible.

Interested pending OOC review. Subscribed.

Wait what?

So your dragons transform between human and dragon forms? OR you mean something like a draconian where they are basically bipedal dragons?

[Mike the Bloodwolf]

The second one I guess. I mean orginally Mike and Sashia could switch between dragon and half breed form.

What do you mean by "Switch?" Are they basically still dragons that can walk well on their hind legs?

[Silvir]

Well doesn't like that depend. 0.0
Are their bodies capable of holding a lot of mass and morphing?? <--(Sci-fi knows no bounds) XD

O.o im getting curious on that dragon species

sci-fi does have some bounds, one of which is science being used in it to be Science Fiction. If we took out all of the science from Sci-Fi by making it have no bounds than it wouldn't be sci-fi at all but instead it would be just pure fiction.

Also if their cellular structure was able to morph and change the shape of the body from one point to the other (a giant 20 ft dragon to a 6.4 ft human) and morph like such than they wouldn't be dragons at all but instead they would be shape shifters. Which is why I asked. However if they were basically what I said and they hold the same shape and such but they are capable in standing on their hind legs efficiently with minimal effort thanks to their bone and body structure, thus making them technically able to "shift" from four legged dragon form to a more bipedal dragon form... of course their natural height would still be relatively the same. I'd go with 8'6 to 12'3 when it comes to the size of these space dragons.

[Windstormugly]

I'll just have to add to this I feel.
Size and mass changing morphing are well within the science of most sci-fi stories. And to be a shape-shifter means being able to take a wide variety of forms, whereas this would be a single shape-change, logically a compaction of the bones and tissue. Which is not that special I might add.

If you compact the tissue than the dragons would be very stiff unless they hardly had tissue to begin with if they are going to be tightened that greatly or there would hardly be much of a change. What I was suggesting is basically the same thing but with the latter where there isn't too much of a dramatic change. I'm not saying size and mass changing aren't within sci-fi's forte but I am saying that a dragon completely changing naturally would be unlikely.

Also no, to be a shape sifter all they need is the simple ability to change from one shape to another naturally, though then there is the problem of if they were capable from changing from one shape to another than they are also capable in changing into other shapes as well and would more likely be doing such on a cellular level.

What's being done here is that the dragon is still a dragon but is also capable in taking a more bipedal stance added with the more feral one too. Both of which is basically what spike was talking about and while main muscles would probable compact like you said their main body structure wouldn't take too much of a dramatic change. If their legs are hind, even when bipedal their legs would still hold a similar shape overall. But a dragon shifting it's body from the classical feral Dragon (more likely what spike is wanting) to a more human shape (which would take too dramatic of changes to efficiently happen, especially in the feet and legs area.)

Also, you must be who jest has been talking about, if I'm correct. A pleasure to meet you.
