Long ago there rested such a grand race, a race spanning innumerable stars, a race so advanced that they were Gods to any younger races who encountered them. However within such time of span small to the Universe they disappeared, thought to be gone forever. Only old ruins of their once great civilization remain, such as the FTL Gates, vast super-structures capable of transporting whole fleets across the galaxy at speeds thought impossible to reach with FTL travel. As the younger races ascend to space and begin exploring the gates of the Precursors were used to expand out and explore the galaxy due to the limits of FTL. The only questions is why the Precursors disappeared, as What Remains of their once vast civilization is explored for answers.

What Remains is a advanced freeform Sci-Fantasy NRP, leaving a lot of what happens in pre-IC history up to the player, with few limits so long as thing stay reasonable. Notice the fantasy part, whether it being purely magic it or combining it with that soft buttery Sci-Fi tech, magic is a completely acceptable method of explaining anything in this RP. With that said, do not go overboard.

Another important factor is the limits on FTL. Due to how slow FTL is, it would take years to reach systems that are far away. However with the gates left by the Precursors going to another system with a gate is for all intents and purposes, instant. This should add an interesting layer of fun on top of the RP, on top of everything else we can use the Precursors for.

Beyond that I do not have much else to say, so go nuts and ask any questions you may have about the RP or regarding rules and apps.

For space wizardry, does this mean I can have logically impossible alien beings?

Since I have a spooky alien species that in other Sci-fi stuff I normally do would be out of place.

Yet I have confidence I can use them here.

They're not evil. In fact they love you. They love everyone!

I'd be interested, though I'm currently possibly invested in several others. I'll wait and see on more info for this one.

This depends on what exactly they are, and more so on how you describe them. Can't really say much else without knowing more about them.

I may join as a Mercenary/Pirate Nation collecting ex-soldiers who grew disillusioned by their former nation's propaganda and other falsities.

Being able to mold impossible life forms and terraform worlds into places for massive mind totem things that go into space (like giant, organic space elevators I suppose).

They also may cause perversions of the mind to those that observe certain specimens of Anvyat.

They aren't all consuming beings, they just don't really seem to notice when their actions are killing millions of people.

That final line though.

In other news, I can't wait for this rp to start.

Kind of reminds me of Mass Effect, what with the Precursor Gates and all. I get that it takes while for FTL to get you across the galaxy, but what about the surrounding area? Are we just stuck using the gates or what?

It looks interesting but I'm not really a wordy kind of writer. Honestly not sure if I could play a game that requires a short story for every post.

Ah, Doctor Jackson, I do apologize in advance for a few familiar faces. Hope you'll understand ;D

In all seriousness, there's a good degree of flexibility in things, that will be made much clearer once the OOC is up, I'm sure.

Hey, I would be interested.

I haven't been on this site for awhile now, but I've been on and off over the past few years so I know how how things work. My writing may be a bit rusty, but I'm willing to give it another shot! What sort of Nations did everyone have in mind? Also, travel seems really restricted save for these leftover gates, what are your plans for how our planets/systems will interact with each other? Do these gates populate the universe enough that we don't have to look too far to find one? Or will we have to travel years and years to interact with each other haha

As you can tell I'm a bit new about these parts. Only found this part of the forum recently and I've been lurking while wondering if I wanted to dive in or not.

Started on another forum that lacked minimum post lengths. I can tell you now I find it a lot easier to say "Yes I want the apple." if I don't need to also write an extra couple paragraphs about why my character needs the apple for his sick grandmother so she can be happy before she dies.

Possibly either a younger nation with an emphasis on guerilla warfare and shamanic magic... or the cliche over used warrior nation... maybe have a twist with them using old fashioned swords.

I'm friendly as well. I have no interest in conquering the universe. Maybe just a small chunk of it :)
