The Age of the New Man (Human/Anthro Space Opera) Interest Check and General Suggestions Thread

This is an idea that I've been thinking of for a while and it's based off a role-play that I've done on a different site. It revolves on a Human/Anthro conflict regarding role of genetic engineering in human social society, themes of trans-humanism/para-humanism, existentialism (are we alone in the universe), ect. This is my first time setting up a RP on this site and wish to gather some feedback on this idea to see if anyone would be interested.

.::Legend of Zelda :: Whispers in the Night::.

Kaiver slowly started to wake up as he began to rub his face to wake himself up, beginning to stretch himself as soon as he got out of bed. Not eager to wake his wife up from the exhausting work from last night, he got out of bed quietly. He then made his way down the stairs silently to the bathroom just so he could clean up his face. For a brief moment, he could remember the voices in his dream and the dreams before during the past month just before he woke up. Am I imagining things or did some divine voice spoke to me…. He thought to himself as he looked in the mirror, only to be interrupted by the banging of the bathroom door that his train of thought was broken.

“Dad! I need to use the washroom! When will you be done?” The female voice was young, making it one of his young girls that was awake already.

“Just a second…” he said though the door and took a washcloth to wipe his face off of the water. He opened the door and looked down to see Krya for a moment as she passed him giggling as she took the door and shut it behind him. With a thought, he headed for the cupboard to see what she done, only to find a toad jump out onto his nightshirt as he opened it. He rolled his eyes as he grabbed the toad before it jumped off.

“Krya… What did I tell you about grabbing animals from the outside without my permission?”

“Sorry dad. I thought it would be funny prank for mom!” She said softly as she gave a pout on her face.

“It’s alright. Let me handle this.” He softly said as he hid the toad in the breadbox, shut the side door of the box, and washed his hands at the sink. The sound of the water splashing covered the sound of Haliyan’s and Mariha’s steps as he was distracted, only for his wife’s hands briefly cover his eyes.

“You’re up already? I thought you’d still be in bed with me after you’ve been placed on Town Watch.” His wife smiled and kissed him as he turned around to kiss her back on the lips.

“I’ve been having weird dreams lately. But don’t worry; it’s nothing to worry about.” He said, speaking back to her as he finished drying his hands.

“Still, I’m worried that you’re not getting enough sleep.” She spoke back as she was next in line to wash her hands.

“I said don’t worry. I’ve gotten less sleep and I was perfectly fine.” He told her as he rushed upstairs towards the bedroom to get dressed in his proper Ranger clothing and armor. Just as Mariha’s hands were just about dry, a few knocks on the door turned his wife’s attention to see who it was as she opened the front door to reveal Elder Lyontus.

“Elder Lyontus! It’s nice to see you today!” She said with a happy tone.

“Oh, the pleasure is mine, Mrs. Greisen. Perhaps your husband can assist me guiding my wares and me to the Festival?” The old man said at the door. “Um, also, may I come in, just for a moment?”

She smiled as she nodded and stood out of the way to let him in. “Come… Make yourself at home. Kaiver should be almost ready to go, so you can wait anywhere you like.”
Elder Lyontus sat down at the head of the table, looked at the breadbox, and gotten curious: wondering if any spare bread was left in it. Focusing his telekinesis on it, he made it levitate towards him so he could see inside. But as soon as the box gotten off the surface of the table, the flap of the breadbox opened and the toad jumped right out of it, landing in front of Haliyan’s sight, making her freak out of her half-asleep stupor.

“Ew… Get it away from me!” She cried out as Kyra giggled in the background. “Mom! Sis just put a toad in the beadbox?”

Elder Lyontus looked at the toad and grew curious and eager to catch it as his attention was taken away from the bread and to the toad, thinking it could be useful in a potion. He began reaching for it as it croaked and hopped away from his grasp every time he reached for it, making Mariha try to grab it and help him as it hopped across the table, until Kaiver got back down in his outfit and grabbed the toad that was just about to land on Haliyan.

“Don’t worry, its harmless.” He said to his eldest and smiled as he held the croaking toad in his hand.

“I don’t want to touch it! It’s gross!”

“No it’s not!” Kyra retorted

“Yes it is!”

“Children, we don’t want to be late for the Festival. Now get ready and dressed. You’ll have plenty of time to argue there.” Kaiver said to his children as he gave the toad to Lyontus and headed towards his wife to give her a kiss.

“Yes dad.” They both said unanimously.

He then took his attention to the three of them and gave the toad to Lyontus as the old man gleefully headed outside to store the toad in one of his empty jars. “I’ll see you at the Festival and I’ll meet you at Elder Lyontus’ potion stall.”

“Yes dear. Be safe…” She said as kissed him and started to get the kids ready as he headed out with his equipment.
He walked outside and shut the door to his home, as waved goodbye to them, hoping that they would be at the festival. He looked up and sighed at the sunrise in the sky and somehow his earthly duties were connected to the divine somehow, but he was willing to get to the bottom of this.

“Is there something wrong, Kaiver?” Elder Lyontus asked him with a curious voice as he got on the head of his cart being drawn by Kaiver’s horse that he borrowed from him.

“No, just been having troubling dreams that I’ve been having lately.”

“Really? Tell me, because I think I could help you somehow.”

“Not right now, maybe when we get to the Festival we could talk.”

The true sad part is in every timeline, the Sheikah are either mostly extinct or completely extinct.

Which is interesting, because the last character that I have in mind is a Hylian raised as a Sheikah that is seen with contempt, or a Sheikah that has gone rouge that is seen as a traitor.

Fallout - Down with the Monarchy.

I'm looking at this RP and I have made up an idea about a trio of hooligans that I to try want out. A want to play as a group that gives some sort of moral support via dark comedy (Sort of Monty Python/Benny hill with a hint of Clockwork Orange) and the reason for that would mean that they're sort of the first generation that where born into such cruel conditions.

Plus, they live in an orphanage where they're exploited by the headmaster who is very loyal to the king which generates alot of bent up resentment and hatred with in them.

.::Legend of Zelda :: Whispers in the Night::.

Thanks for telling me, Baklava. I'll think it over during that time.

.::Legend of Zelda :: Whispers in the Night::.

Thanks for the notice, Bak. I'll be sure to check up on the IC as soon as you post it. I'm extremely excited. Also I finished my second character sheet for Elder Lyontus that is mostly a support character.

Also, I'm curious if its possible to use my final character sheet for an antagonist that plays on the evil side and who's secret identity is the fabled 'Crimson Hound' (in which he would be cursed with a sort of lycanthropy that renders him feral and only would be controlled by you and whatever Co-GM's in place)?

Name: Naklov Lyontus (Elder Lyontus)
Age: 74
Race: Human (Hylian)
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Elder Lyontus stands hunched at 4’7” cloaked in robes that cover most of his fair skinned, yet frail body, in particular his legs in which he has trouble walking without his cane or wearing the Iron Goron greaves he keeps on beneath his robes and a long white beard travels below his chin down midway along his chest. Although he has a distaste of fine and priestly jewelry, he is known wearing his fine purple robes, a white stole with black Triforces stitched at both flanks, and a turban that covers his balding head.

Theme Song:

Priest theme

Alchemist theme

Personality: Calm, Shrewd, Wise, Humble, Intelligent, has little tolerance for evil motivations.

Backstory: Elder Lyontus is one of the higher-ranking priests that currently take charge of keeping the rituals and ceremonies inside the Temple of Time. He was born a many generations before the Hero of Time departed, but this has not stopped his fascination and admiration for the mysterious hero, even during the dark times and rumors of Gannon’s return. A man of great faith, he usually does not question the Will of the Goddesses, but does not believe that people should stand idle against the evil and chaos unprepared. But even he realizes that few believe in the possibility of Gannon returning and such has made efforts to convince the population to remain vigilant with limited success.

Regardless, he has remained friends with Kaiver and his family, blessing them, and he was the one able to give the man strength and courage to become a Ranger of Hyrule’s Royal Guard. Despite his priestly duties, he dabbles in a bit of magic, mainly such as alchemy, can craft potions in his shop in Castle Town, and has traded with "The Witch of the Forest" on numerous occasions for her ingredients in his potions. Even with his near-encyclopedic knowledge and wisdom, he remains largely ignorant in the sense that he has not traveled the land beyond Kakariko Village, and hopes to one day be able to visit the five other temples as a pilgrimage before his time comes.

Skills/Talents:

1)Bartering (PS/SS): Owing a shop for many years has made his knowledge of making deals and bargains with many different people over the years. He is not a fool when it comes to money despite having little care for it.
2)Telekinesis (FS/MS): Elder Lyontus has learned how to move small objects with his mind, such as his cane, various vials and ingredients, and other things just as long he keeps his focus on them. His abilities are limited in such that he can lift a combined mass such as a pumpkin (20 lbs. max) and only can focus on three items at once.
3-4) Alchemist/Herbologist (MS/PS): From a simple hobby creating potions for the sick and travelers on long journeys, he has made a successful business out of creating high quality and very potent potions that is known throughout Hyrule. The thing that limits him is the equipment that he requires that he keep in his shop he has to have, although he can work with lesser equipment creating smaller quantities of his potions.
5) Aura Sight (MS): Being a Priest of Light has given him abilities to detect the presence of living things giving off an aura, but the power that is unique to him and the others like him is the ability to see the auras of other people, but only in a white to black spectrum and renders him colorblind for a few moments. His eyes glow bright yellow as he is using the power and most of the time describes it as “seeing stars in a sea of grey”, but has yet to find one that is purely black.
6) Encyclopedic Knowledge (SS/PS): A well-learned, wise, and intelligent man as he is, his knowledge mostly comes from his book smarts and near-limitless wisdom. He is willing to admit that most of his knowledge remains untested and ignorant of the outside world, but is willing to learn from his mistakes and revise his knowledge.

Goal(s): Travel Hyrule and make pilgrimages to the five other temples in hopes to explore the land before he passes away/gets killed.

Inventory:
• Walking cane
• Iron Goron greaves
• Knapsack of books:
One herbal encyclopedia
Personal journal
Ink feather and small ink vial (half full).
• Satchel of potion vials:
One green potion.
Two red potions.
Two blue potions.

Wallet: 75

The New Order(Post WW3 RP)

Dinh AaronMk said
Just because two nations are in the vaguely same area does not mean that they are complimentary to each other. As a solid basis: all those states have incredibly divergent histories from each other and hugely different cultures (the Balkans are Slavic ethnically, and the Greeks are not Romantically influenced). And good relations between nations does not equal reason for annexation or binding up into one mega-state. Nationalism would see to its destruction at conception.Not to mention these nations already having been stated as not being democratic (in Italy's case) and them being claimed already (Greece, a goodly part of the Balkans/if not already something to refer to Helix over) already makes your super-state unacceptable.Also, two aircraft carriers? Nigga you cray, none of any of those nations have the capabilities to build those - especially in a post-war economy - nor would they have the resources to use them or back national interests beyond the Mediterranean: the whole region is already in jet range anyways.In closing: go home and try-hard there.And the only time I can recall any of these nations were one was during the era of brought on by Spanish inheritance of Sicily. But situations creating personal unions such as this only arises in monarchies, which Spain isn't much of anymore and Italy is not.

I can accept him as a faction that is trying to undermine and overthrow the Confederacy. Other than that, I will have to agree with this as even I will say that the civil war devastated both of them even though I have the loin's share of the resources (first come, first serve).

.::Legend of Zelda :: Whispers in the Night::.

I thought about my original idea and I couldn't seem to work with me and I really don't want to become too overpowered, so I fixed up a different character instead.

Name: Kaiver Greisen
Age: 34
Race: Human (Hylian)
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Appearance

Kaiver is 6’2 with an athletic build, light skin with a slight tan. He often keeps his hair unkempt as he finds little purpose to cut it, and a short and thin beard he has been able to keep groomed with the help of his wife. Often, he is often wearing his light Ranger armor that consists of leather and cloth, with iron pads that protects his knees and elbows. His green Ranger cloak carries the seal of the Royal family and wears it often to show his position in the Royal Guard.

Theme Song:

Ranger Theme

Solo Theme

Personality: Loyal, Brave, Headstrong, Stubborn, but loving father and husband.

Backstory: Having served 15 years as a Ranger for the Royal Guard, he comes off a very courageous and loyal soldier within his ranks, as he takes honor in serving his country against bandits, raiders, and the dangerous feral beasts that he goes up against. Having served Hyrule’s Royal Family well, he takes pride in his service and doesn't ask for much, provided he is able to make sure his family is well fed and taken care of in Castle Town. Although he took an oath to defend the Royal Family with his life, he is more concerned about the safety of the citizens and the people of Hyrule along with his family, believing that the Hero of Time will eventually come among one of the people and be able save them from Gannon’s wrath if the rumors turn out to be true and is willing to disobey orders to protect Hyrule’s people.

Recently due to a failed attempt to kill an alpha of a pack of Wolfos, he was put on temporary suspension and demoted to Town Watch as consequence after the beast itself killed two of his fellow Rangers. Even though they stopped the raid pack that terrorized travelers and the townsfolk, and able to thin out the pack before taking the beast itself on, The Crimson Hound (as it was called) was able to escape into the Lost Woods wounded even as it had taken supposedly multiple fatal blows to it. Although he vows to someday kill the beast and skin it for a trophy, with rumors of Gannon’s return, he knows that sooner or later the Crimson Hound would return stronger and become even a bigger threat as Hyrule’s people become more vulnerable.

Skills/Talents:
1) FS: CQC (close quarters combat). During his time in service, if he isn’t scouting with his fellow soldiers or on hunting trips, he is honing his hand-to-hand skills in combat in hope that he would be able to take down an attacker that would dare assault him or his family if the time comes.
2-3) FS/PS: Horseback Archery. As a Ranger, he is trained in the art of archery and horseback riding. He excels in his skills as his role as a Ranger and serves the Royal Family. He wishes to pass down his knowledge to the next generation with his family as he teaches them in what he knows hoping that someday they can defend themselves without him. His Bay horse is named Jade.
4) SS: Hunting. When not on duty, he prefers to spend time alone and hunt game in order to provide a few extra rupees selling the hide and meat of his catch. He could easily feed his family and provide enough food when the expenses are tight.
5) SS: Firestarter. He carries a fire striker, a piece of flint, and a few strips of charcloth in a canister. During tours of duty, it was used to create campfires to keep warm during the cold nights out in the Hyrule Fields.
6) Misc Skill: Ocarina player. It was given to him as a gift by Elder Lyontus as a tribute to his firstborn daughter. Although he knows a few songs himself, he uses it as a scouting whistle and a horse caller in case he is out on the Hyrule Field plains and far from his horse.

Goal(s): Have his family outlast Gannon’s wrath and provide his family and Elder Lyontus’ safety. He will do anything in order to make sure they are safe, even sacrifice his life.

Secondary Goal: Kill the Crimson Hound.

Inventory:

• Bow and Large Quiver (Can hold 35 arrows). This bow was given to him when he officially became a Ranger for Hyrule’s Royal Guard. He was allowed to keep it as honor and devotion during his service. His quiver was handcrafted and was purchased by the local tanner according to his specifications as most of the Rangers of the Royal Guard prefer to use custom made quivers rather than the Hyrule Army’s standard quivers.
• 30 regular arrows (in quiver)
• Lantern and Jar of Oil. Uses it during his patrols of Castle Town. No real use for it due to him being used to riding under the dark of night during his service.
• Spare Jar of Oil
• Ocarina.
• Hunting knife. An ordinate, yet functional blade is something that he keeps on his person at all times. It makes for a useful tool and the blade itself is made out of the finest steel.
• Fire striker, flint rock, and Charcloth canister.
Wallet: Can carry 300. Currently has 160

NPCs (Family):
• Mariha (Wife)
• Haliyan (Eldest daughter [12])
• Krya (Daughter [9])
• Elder Lyontus (Castle Town priest of the Temple of Time and close friend. Character Sheet here )
