[OOC] Over the Ages Episode 1: All that Remains

[Lord Wyron]

Goddamn we're gonna be old XD

[The Omnipotent Sphere]

Too soon to start accepting characters just yet, as others haven't been made and you will probably want to make a lot of edits as more of the lore comes about. Speaking of which, I am working on the Codex entry for 'Humanity'. As I write this, I am thinking of pressing the years forward even further, perhaps into the 5000 or 6000's.

@Whoami

You say that, but we're already beyond the point at which we can effectively conceive of improvements in future technology. (also, I'm interested in joining ^_^)

[WilsonTurner]

Also, wouldn't the 5000s and 6000s be way too far? I mean, there's only so much a group of hundreds could do against the billions, much less a group of dozens that are left. I mean, we were in space by the 2000s, what makes you think we won't be outside the Solar System by 3000? Or even 2100? Putting a halt on technology and exploration for that long would be an extremely difficult task. Maybe even too much for the Illuminati.

Even if we are reincarnated every time we die.

@WilsonTurner

That's the thing, you don't have to stand toe to toe with them. A wrong variable in the right place at the right time is all we'd need to do.

@Ghost Shadow

Most of us are old anyways XD My guy is a Spartan.

[WilsonTurner]

I still think that even two thousand years after our current year would be too far. Not for a complete containment of humanity on Earth. It'd be terribly, terribly crowded, resources would be scarce at best. Even with advanced technology, there's only so much one can do with a planet when they have to feed an ever increasing population. The ocean would be covered at that point, by cities and the like. Not completely, but there'd certainly be cities on it.

[Whoami]

I have bumped the time frame forward not so much because of the actions taken by the Illuminati against the billions of humans, but more for the development of Earth and how the civilization has managed to survive without expansion into space. There's no way the world would have developed in the way it has in 1200 years from now, you'll see why when I make the update. 5000-6000 is a much more realistic timeframe. As for the apex of technology mentioned by @The Omnipotent Sphere, that is what will make the technology familiar to us. All of the tech in this RP will mostly be stuff frequently seen in novels, movies and games to give it a familiar touch.

Besides, when compared with Warhammer 40k, which is set in the 40,000's, the 6000's isn't all too much of a big deal. ;)

[Lord Wyron]

@Zarkun XD Fair point. I'm thinking of going with an Arabian swordsman, but that's still up for debate. Gotta have dem futuristic swordmasters

[WilsonTurner]

I cede my point.
Had my usual group of nation roleplayers seen this, they might die of shock.

[Zarkun]

@Zarkun XD Fair point. I'm thinking of going with an Arabian swordsman, but that's still up for debate. Gotta have dem futuristic swordmasters

@Ghost Shadow

Well, Spartans technically count XD Though they're more Phalanx masters...

[Whoami]

'Earth' and 'Humanity' Codex entries added.
'Known NPC's' section added for when players are introduced to characters that myself and my Co-GM will control.

As you read, you will now understand why I decided to move the time period forward.

[Zarkun]

Speaking of a Co-GM, are you saving that for a surprise or have you not decided yet? Just curious mind.

@Zarkun

I have yet to decide. I invited one of my long time RP partners to join and Co-GM along with me as I am doing for one of his RPs. But I have yet to get a response so if I don't get an answer by the time I am ready to launch the IC, I will appoint it to one of you. :)

[Zarkun]

Copy that, Captain.

[Lord Wyron]

So, I have a quick question, @Whoami. You said that many Immortals became revered as gods due to their own involvement. So if I'm making an Arabian swordsman (which I'm strongly leaning towards lol) could I go ahead and say that he was, at one point, Sinbad the Sailor?

@Ghost Shadow

You can indeed go ahead and say that. I will actually enjoy seeing characters who have assumed the identity of *insert real/mythical/legendary person here* during Earth's history.

[Zarkun]

Where's the fun in being King Leonidas though? There'd be such high expectations from it. Not to mention Xerxes did take his head.

Pfft... Xerxes can keep the head. You'll get a new one. ;D

Aeolus Gallo, Warrior of Sparta

"Courage is when the cowardly become warriors."

Identity Profile
Birth Name:
"I was born the Spartan Aeolus Gallo."

*Current Name:
"I have been known as James Gerard for the last...three hundred years. I don't intend to change it any time soon either."

*Alias:
"Cerberus, the guardian dog of the gates of the Underworld."

Gender:
"You seem to need to visual sensors, AI. I am male. See, no breasts."

Birth Place/Age:
"I was born in the Greek city-state of Sparta, about twenty years before the Battle of Thermopylae. For the record, I wasn't present when the 300 were killed."

Physical Profile

Photo ID

Height:
"I stand at six feet tall and eight inches."

*Weight:
"I weigh 230 lbs of lean muscle. I hope you haven't asked this of any of the women."

*Hair Color:
"Black, with red streaks. Might as well look modern."

*Eye Color:
"I have grey eyes. Really, are your visual sensors malfunctioning, Sigil?"

Skin Color:
"Maintenance will be checking your visual sensors after this. I'm caucasian. Nothing about that has changed since I was born."

*Physical Build:
"I am a body of well-toned muscle, built from centuries of training and combat. That is all the physical build information you'll get from me, in case my hunch is correct."

*Tattoos:
"I have but a single tattoo, in rememberance of the men the Spartans who gave their lives at the Battle of Thermopylae."

Tattoo

Προς τιμήν του τριακοσίων

Translation: In honor of the three hundred

*Scars:
"An old scar on my cheek, running straight down it. Old training accident from my youth. Wasn't fast enough."

*Other:
"You asked relevant and meaningful questions. If I think of something else, I'll let you know."

Psychological Profile

Positive Qualities:
"I was raised a Spartan, I know how to hold a siege, break a siege, and ignite a war with but a few words and how to end it with a swift and well positioned strike. I don't waste time on words when action is far more decisive. I am among the few remaining beings on this planet who can form and lead a successful Phalanx formation, and I'm a master with the spear and shield. I can run further, faster and longer than any mortal, and most immortals, though I wouldn't say that too loudly. Go longer without food, water, and sleep than anyone else. To condense this, if a Spartan can do it, so can I. I'm also incredibly disciplined, and, if captured, will never break under torture and interrogation. An experience with the Nazis during the second World War proves this."

Negative Qualities:
"Your willingness to share my secrets is worrisome, but I will tell you anyways. I've very little social skill and have little concern for the opinions of others about my tactics and methods. Hell, I have little concern for their opinions in general. I've also got practically no idea how not to punch someone I consider an idiot square in the jaw. I suppose you could say I've a hot temper."

*Likes:
"Combat, a good, strong drink, and a hearty victory with a celebration to accompany it."

*Dislikes:
"Defeat, cowards and liars, deceit in general, and a weak drink."

*Other:
"Once more, your questions are adequete. If something comes up, I will inform you."

Requisition

*Weapons:
Always carries a modern collapsible spear with an energy bladed tip and shield, with heavy shielding on the front as well as a collapsible spear with a titanium tip and titanium blade sword. In terms of firearms, carries a .20 gauge energy pellet shotgun on him along with twin machine pistols with another "primary weapon" which usually equates to an assault rifle, for those times when a shotgun or spear won't cut it.

*Armor:
Constantly wears the heavy armor known as the HV Weave. The HV Weave is a heavy armor designed by the Immortals to provide maximum shield and armor protection while affording wearers like James their full range of movement to make full use of their training.



*Transportation:
Transportation usually consists of an APC with a heavy MG manned turret and four smaller, AI controlled turrets. Nothing too fancy, it gets him in and out when he needs it.

*Devices & Tools:
The only tools needed are weapon maintenance kits and an armor maintenance kit along with an armor repair kit.

*Supplies:
Fast acting painkillers and injectable medkits, designed to be injected near the site of the wound.

*Augmentations:
"Augmentations are for the weak and the cowardly. Don't insult my honor by even suggesting such a thing."

*Other:
"If anything arises, I shall inform you, Sigil."

I started this cs the same day I showed interest. Tiresome but very well worth it. I see there's a spartan here, I myself am Roman. Maybe we've met before, say in Gytheio? :P lol.
