Wind Riders: Heroes of the Etheric Sea

well "magic" in that it's affecting the world with a force. It works a lot like programming in the original world, and will change a bit with each different world.

Wind Riders: Heroes of the Etheric Sea

btw guys, I know I'm like, the slowest person alive, but I have nothing if not hubris so I was thinking of setting up another RP based on a book I can never seem to write, where a group of people from a world close to ours (but with secret mages who use the "system" to exert influence on the world) are chosen by an Administrator to observe and interact with other realities with other systems, and decide if those systems are valid or not. Any of you might be interested?

SADI's smooth, slightly mechanical voice responds from your communicator. "According to the last received transmission from that sector, recent problems include a shortage of food on OCP-99341, increased violent weather patterns due to terraforming efforts on OCP-85212, a minor increase in violent crime on OCP-912213, and reports of unidentified ships near OCP-975521. Additionally, a followup of the mission briefing is being sent to you."

As she finishes talking, you hear the ping of incoming mail. The follow up is as follows:

Your patrol will officially be underway when all of you arrive at the attached coordinates, near the colony on OCP-85212. Your SADI offshoot has been given all the information we have on their terraforming equipment, as well as the original state of the planet. Notably, the planet contains a high concentration of magicite, which is why a colony was established there in the first place. Be careful with magic there, as you'll have access to much more power than you're usually used to. A representative of the Wind Riders will meet you on the ground to help direct you to where you're most needed, but ultimately your decisions on this patrol are your own.

I'll get a new post up soon, sorry guys. I'm on vacation until the 14th so I'm not always close to my computer.

Just waiting on posts and possibly character sheets

Wind Riders: Heroes of the Etheric Sea

Well make a sheet

Wind Riders: Heroes of the Etheric Sea

Location: Wind Riders HQ, The Flying Juggernaut Ambivalence
Mission time: 0 months, 0 days, 0 hours
Current Objective: Report for mission briefing

The Ambivalence, the Wind Riders' impregnable headquarters, and your home for the past few days while you were being tested as a hopeful applicant. Everything is sleek metal and holo-interfaces, bearing a stark contrast to the myriad of races and clothing styles belonging to the many Wind Riders traversing it's corridors. Now with your membership a sure thing, you've been called into briefing for your first ever mission. You were warned before hand that your first mission isn't going to be anything exciting, but that you should still consider it important. As the saying goes, "a mighty wall may be built of small stones."

Your briefing starts at an hour before midday, ship's time, and an hour before that your personal cabin is pinged by the Wind Riders' Semi Autonomous Distributed Intelligence (or S.A.D.I.) with a reminder, and the location of the room the briefing will be held in.

As you and the other members of your mission file into the room, Commander Wulfram, a woman you've met only a handful of times before, patiently waits at the front, near a projected starmap. As everyone takes their seats, the Commander begins her briefing.

"As new members of the Wind Riders, your first mission will serve as a kind of test, helping us determine where your strengths and weaknesses lie so that we may make full use of your talents. As such, you will be undertaking an extended patrol of Outskirt space, aiding newly formed colonies and sorting out the problems such places tend to have. You will be traveling together, as well as being accompanied by an offshoot of SADI. You should rely on your fellow Riders as well as your own skill." As she started going into the particulars of the patrol route, the star map moved to show each planet in order, detailing the specifics of each in turn.

At the end of the briefing, the Commander turned her gaze on each of you in turn, making sure she had your attention. "Above all, remember the Wind Rider's mission. Defend the weak, help the helpless, fight for the righteous. You carry more than your own honor now, be sure to keep that in mind."

With that, the Commander dismisses your group, reminding you to question SADI for any reminders or details about the mission.
