Actually, I forgot the fact that the Knight's Holy Cross have a vast network of connections, now that you say it, placing temple tower in the center makes more sense, because the Red Cross is a massive corporations, it's just that the Knights Holy Cross use it as a figure to hide behind and controll.If you thought differently feel free to tell.

The reason they're in Outremer i thought could be that as part of their rite of passage into adulthood they must leave the homeworld and go to another populated world and do good works. This could have social, religious or some other reason for being so. What do you guys think to all that?


A thought I had on this subject: What if the Scyvi are generally considered to have no gender (or that they are a hermaphrodite-race, think snails), but when they come of age (passage of adulthood) they are sent to another world in where they through some events (a set amount of years perhaps?), they will grow akin to a certain gender.
Of course it could also just be that they have no gender at all - or perhaps they can change it?
Oh yea, what about their body? I'm not sure why, but when I look at the picture I see them as sort of... "liquidity" of sorts... Is that just me?

Catharyn said
Sorry i must have missed it, which question thing?The defences we discussed could well be partially telepathic!


What about making it a psychic blast, that is it stuns/confuses the victim? Perhaps the older (and more trained) the Scyvi could learn to project their telepathic abilities, whereby they could be able to tap into a victims mind/brain and not only "blast it", but also confuse it (small illusions)?

I personally think the Templar order would play down their existence and have an understated and possibly subterranean headquarter. The Red cross could have a huge amount of small aid centers or hospitals around Babylon.

It's a tricky one Empath. Any one of those could work... Perhaps they decide themselves after their great works period which gender they want to be. However i'm not sure it would add anything to the RP. Perhaps they're snail-like? :D

So I've been silently lurking this thread, and it's come to my attention a lot of people are digging this idea. How do you plan on handling the mass influx of people who want to join? Are there going to be little chapters, with people pairing off into groups, and than a new chapter beginning as groups intertwine or split, coming together with new people to form new groups?

Just curios on how you will handle it all, along with a main central plot. I know (or think I do) that this plans on being a free for all RP, although some way to connect everyone would be wise. Of course we can't do a space ship crew unless we all eventually journey into space and this would become mass effect the sequel (Which I personally don't mind, I love mass effect, but besides the point) but some sort of central point would be nice. Maybe a company that rules a majority of the world screws everyone over, and we each have a common goal to fight back or something.

Anyways, just my two cents. I probably missed some plot points or what have you in the earlier pages, or you already have everything planned. Just curious what it is, without revealing too much.

Hi there.

I'm leaving the world very much open to the players to mold to their will. They've helped me create Outremer, so they deserve to be able to play with it to a certain extent. I will however say that i do have a central plot in mind, and if it interests them then they can join me in that. The main plot is overarching, so that as the RP goes on it will become harder and harder to remain neutral and carry on your business; we will all need to pick a side. Some people may run off to Actim and try to bury their head in the sand when things kick off, and that's cool too.

I don't want to give anything away yet because i don't want people to adjust their characters so they are perfectly equipped for the events that will emerge. Trust me though, it's explosive. There may be a crew aspect to the RP, like in the last TSR some of the players were aboard a Sandship called the Hercules. That might happen again but people have a choice of whether they want to participate. I'm also advocating the use of several characters, as long as they are properly documented in the CS's. :)

As for the influx of people, i say the more the merrier. As long as people are mindful of the unspoken rule of RP: 'leave two posts before replying if you're in a group.', there should be no problems. :) I'm also an advocate of a post summary, who its addressing and the use of hiders to tidy things up. Hope that answers your questions.

I really like this idea I'm in and I was hoping to have my character be a sibling of another members character with the two having a close connection. Same age, older or younger is cool with me. If anybody is up for that role let me know.

Is the character sheet up? I didn't see it on the first page, I have a push inspired character concept in mind. A psychic with limited abilities.But he doesn't know he can do this until his older or younger brother drives it out of him through an argument. Daryl and Meryl are great name choices Yay!

Okay there's a few things I may tweak when new information comes out, I made modify his equipment and weapons when I have a better idea of what we are dealing with. This is just so I get some of my ideas down and see what you think :)

Full Name: Captain Venator Araiis, AKA Tor to close friends
Age: 28
Race: Human
Appearance: Will do this later, may draw this if I can be arsed

Personality: Venator believes in discipline, punctuality and duty above all things, he can seem a rather blunt person at first but is driven by a strong desire make the world better. He can be rather unforgiving when it comes to criminal activities and is often criticised for his lack of flexibility by his superiors. He cares greatly for his subordinates, even those who sometime fall short of his own personal standards though he would never admit it. He is hard working and dedicated but can be maybe a little naive or even stubborn when it comes to anything that challenges his own beliefs, often blinding him even to problems he should be concerned about.

History: Born to a moderately wealthy family in Babylon Venator had a happy and even unremarkable life, he worked hard at school and did reasonably well in academics and sports. The only thing that really stood out was from a young age he dreamed of protecting the people of Babylon, be it from sand pirates, street thugs or even a treacherous rebellion he fought them all as a child. When he left school he studied in Computational Forensics at the Babylon Institute before joining the BESC as part of the Law Enforcement branch at the age of 21. As a young cadet he proved himself capable both in investigation and in combat situations and was soon recruited into the Serious Crimes Division by the time he was 24. While progress was sometimes slower in the SCD Venator threw himself into his work with even more enthusiasm as he finally hunted down gang leaders, broke up illegal trafficking rings and captured ruthless cyber criminals. Unfortunately Venator was beginning to get close to uncovering a scandal, his blindness to the BESC's failings would only hide it from him from so long and it was arranged for a raid to go wrong. At the age of 26 he was gunned down, his support arriving late so it seemed and he was left for dead and hospitalised. With the case he was working on handed over to someone more... malleable he was allowed to live and eventually recovered albeit with both his legs and arms being replaced with artificial augmented limbs instead, as well a set of artificial kidneys. Finally at 28 he made Captain and now has a small squad under his command working wherever their next case takes them.

Occupation: Captain in the BESC's Serious Crime Division
Weaponry: Out of armour he has a standard issue BESC laser pistol, for combat he a BESC advanced laser rifle with a thermal scope as well as a neural disruption stick (basically an extendible baton that on contact emits an electromagnetic pulse that hinders movement) and a BESC lightweight class advance armour
Augments: His limbs give him enhanced speed and strength as well as being more durable, as of yet he has not added any more features but may in the future
Other: He often wears a visor earpiece combo over one eye that allows him to stay in contact with his team as well as relay important information to him and over lay tactical information onto what he sees before him.
He can drive all BESC Law Enforcement vehicles below class C (High Speed Air Travel)

Nice faction write up. Falls in line with what I have in mind for the structure of government. PMing you shortly.

Yeah. A lot of great ideas all over. I know an OOC is coming, but it would be great to have a spot over at the character gallery to put together what we have so far.
