All Aboard NSM
Far into the future of man, science and technology have advanced but a serious threat looms over humanity. It has been there since the beginning of life on Earth but now time is limited. The sun is close to finally becoming a red giant and with that means the destruction of Earth, the only planet in the solar system that maintained life.
For years, scientists and astronomers all over the globe have been working together to put together a solution. Only five years before the predicted date of the end of the world and it is finally finished. The Novus Salvatorem Mundi was born. It is a mother ship with seven smaller ships. They were created to house and shelter humanity until they were able to find a new planet and solar system to call home. People rejoiced and the world was united as one.
However, for most, the celebration was cut short upon the announcement that only some humans would be able to board the ship as there was not enough room for all of humanity. Resources, animals, and other such things would take up space as well leaving room for around 500,000 people, with room to grow and also not including crew members. Luckily, they decided not to sell the spots for money. They made it fair but beneficial for the trip. They accepted applications and also allowed people to put their names into a random drawing.
An Explanation
Hello! Glad to see you made it this far! Now then, I suppose I should explain everything so it's a tad clearer. The basis of the roleplay is that our characters are preparing for this huge take off that is about to occur and then it will and our characters will be in space while others are stuck on the ground. The rp will follow their lives adjusting to this new environment and so on.
I'm looking for this to be a long term roleplay because I would eventually like to fast forward to a generation in the future that has only lived on the ship and to another generation where they finally find a new planet that is survivable and so on. I'm not looking to make this a huge roleplay since I've learned that I'm not super great with GMing xD I'd prefer this to be more of 1x1 style (but with more people of course) where we all have equal say with the plot and bounce future ideas off of each other.
Here are a few things to consider though!
- I'd really like for everyone to be able to rp multiple characters. I personally enjoy this in a roleplay.
- I'm a sucker for romance but this rp definitely isn't focused on that in the least bit. It's nice to be open to the idea of it though.
- Casual : I'm looking for a 3 paragraph average. There will be times when it is less or more though and that's ok.
- OOC talk is big! I want to always make sure everyone is on the same page. Plus I like chatting sometimes c: Even if it's just about the roleplay.
