[OOC] Into the Maw: Space Command

[Stitchblades]

O.O

[Skyrte]

Here's a preview of some of the stuff I'm devving up.
I'm also thinking about making a ground-side RP set in the same universe. If you guys prefer that, we can do that.

The Bental

"The stars are not ours for the taking, they are yours as well. Let's share them in peace."
-The Bental’Si Paratum



The Bental’Si are a rare species to have reached the stars. While most star-faring races have obvious bodies and limbs, the Bental’Si are a form of xeno-moss. Sort of like moss. Their families stay close together and thus becomes a singular ‘person’, claiming a skeleton of some sort, or a bundle of sticks to form a skeleton. Now, more modern skeletons for the Bental’Si are primarily metallic. The Bental’Si are a very tolerant and open minded people, through sheer luck, or perhaps some secret, they have reached the stars largely unopposed. Like the Alliance, they prefer Diplomacy before shooting. Their ships often reflect this, as they don’t have weapons powerful enough to destroy another ship in space-combat. However, their armor and shield technology is far more advanced than the Alliance.

The Bental’Si believe that their God, the Omtal’Sa, before their time fought a great evil. Through eons of war, they won. Seeing that their war had devastated the universe, the Omtal’Sa sacrificed itself to become the Core of The Universe, which the war had destroyed, to bring back balance. They believe that the Omtal’Sa, at the center of all, is the driving force behind the most basic of natural laws, and without a being at the center, these laws would halt and chaos would reign. The Bental’Si prepare for the return of the great evil by uplifting more primitive civilizations, and raising them like a parents. However, they are not mentally prepared for the war to come, and lack self confidence in themselves as fighters.

First contact with the Bental’Si was made by the ANS Australia. The original mission of The Australia was to observe a pre-FTL species. However when they arrived, they saw the Bental’Si making first contact, prompting The Australia to step in incase the Bental’Si were hostile. Turns out, they weren't, and each faction present had just made a double-first-contact, the first and only one in history.

I just have to wait to know if anyone is joining me before I land...

If nobody's saying they want to go, you can have crews from NPC ships land with you. If any other players want to join, they can land late.

Okay, i'll post in a couple of hours and start posting steadily and independently then.

[Skyrte]

Yeah nothing's happening.

If this dies I'll probably remake this after getting much more lore done.

Yeah it seems to be dead... PM me the new one okay?

[La Inquisidora]

So interested and yet, the RP is so dead. Oh well. Sent you a PM, Skyrte.

[Tearstone]

I still have an interest.

I just think some more cohesion might be in order.

[Tearstone]

[La Inquisidora]

Hm. Might want to make this a smaller RP this time. 3 or even 1x1, then roll out the "whole version" to set up more backstory and shiz. But yeah. Skyrte and I are totally doing the potara dance and combining our efforts to make Into the Maw II: Things Go Boom epic. Edit: Sweet video, Tearstone! Reminds me of StarCraft for obvious reasons. It probably is StarCraft. I'm a retard.

[Tearstone]

It's Space Battleship Yamato 2199, the live action version. The anime predates Starcraft by decade or perhaps more. I really should play through the Starcraft games.

[La Inquisidora]

Hm. Space Battleship Yamato, huh? I'll have to see what it's all about. Matter fact, if anyone can point me in the direction of any good space battle-type animes or live-action works, I'd appreciate it. Stargate does not count. Battlestar Galactica I don't want to watch. Robotech/Macross does not count. Star Wars only half counts and I've seen 'em all. Episodes I, II, III, IV, V, and VI, as well as the Clone Wars CGI and animated series. All clear mission. Note: I'm beginning to think Electric Bungalow is a better name than Things Go Boom. Note 2: What on Earth is an electric bungalow anyway?

[Tearstone]

Serenity has a good space battle in it. Starship Troopers, sorta. You might be better served by looking to games, like EVE Online, and so on.

[Sundered Echo]

As far as space battle games go, I currently get my fix off of Fractured Space, and when it comes out, Dreadnought.

[Tearstone]

Oh, also Harlock: Space Pirate

[La Inquisidora]

Starship Troopers? Seen 'em all! Ooooooooooold schoooooooooool! I don't know. I'm not really in the mood for spacey games. I'm in a lay-back-and-watch mood, so that's why I'm asking for anime and live-action works. I looked into Dreadnought and Fractured Space. Me likey.
