“This is the fate that many nations faced, death came to them, and wiped them from the universe. Only a few traces of their once vast civilizations remained, most of it crumbling, to become dust. However as civilizations fall and life fades, so does new life rise and began to establish dominance once more. Civilizations spread out, grow, and become strong. Some are new, having come from their homeworlds and begin to reach out beyond their home. A few come from the, ruins of the old begin to rebuild, using what is left of their ancestors to rise once more. But in time, all shall become ashes.”
Ashes to Ashes, is a freeform Sci-Fi Fantasy NRP. There is not a single bit of pre-made history, nor any pre-planned plot lines on my part, besides what I choose for my personal nation. Players have near-unlimited freedom in designing their nations and species.
For those interested, here is a list of rules, general rulings, and a app format.
Rules: 1.Standard RP rules, no godmodding, powerplaying, meta-gaming, etc.
2.Standard Guild Rules Apply
3. No arguements in the OOC. Any arguments related to the RP should be directed to me in a PM with all parties involved, so I may make a decision.
4.The decisions of my Co-GMs and I are final. If you have a problem with any of my decisions or those of my Co-GMs, please PM and I will hear you out.
5. Four paragraphs per a post minimum.
6. Be respectful to everyone.
7.The Reply Blob is a false god, and anybody caught worshiping him will be labeled as a heretic and stoned to death.
-Due to the Fantasy part, literal magic, psionics, the void, the force, or whatever are all perfect explanations for anything in your app. Technology and magic are going to be considered equal in power for the most part, and combining magic and technology does wonderful things. For factions however that want to be purely technological or have extremely limited magic/psionics/the void/the force/whatever, they will be allowed a boost in technological power levels.
-FTL is near-instant, with drives allowing you to reach anywhere in the Milky way from your homeworld in a few hours or days. Due to this high speed limit, there is at least 10 minutes between each use of the drive. Gates can also be constructed for instant FTL
-I am okay with slightly OP super-weapons, so long as they have long recharge times.
-Teleportation either requires pre-estiblished gates or Line of Sight
-The size limit on any moving vessel shall be 20km.
-Players are limited to 25 star systems to start with.
-Do not specify ship count for my sake, it just creates arguments. Ships should really only be brought as necessary for RP. If you feel like you need to though, 2500 should be the limit at the start.
-You are allowed to copy existing factions from other media, so long as you write the app yourself and do not copy-paste the info from a wikia.
I am not so sure having a premade unobtainium/applied phlebotinum is a good idea. While in theory it could help the GM/Co-GMs seed interesting scenarios, people are going to want their own and aren't going to want to be restricted by the premade one.
