Nevix, RBYDark, Revenant Writer - RP discussion

@RBYDark Never been into the horror genre much myself, oddly (surprise-surprise), but that type of character is always a hoot. Question- have you seen the short-lived TV show 'Firefly' or the movie, 'Serenity', which was made after it? I can not imagine any sci-fi fan not having seen them, but I guess it is possible, though highly unlikely...

Yeah, I am sure that there are lots of highjacking devises to be found, and plenty of glitchy ones as well. I just thought of one rip-off one meant to operate a ship with locked controls, that is known to occasionally short-circuit or lose signal with the ship while plugged in, ceasing all commands sent to it for a few seconds before it works again. This can cause ships to fall out of the air, cut of life-support, blow lights, and much more.

Ah, nice. I have recycled characters a couple of times when a RP failed, too. Actually, now that I think about it, I may use an old favorite as a side character.

Hey, I saw that you use anime pictures for your characters. Is that what you always use? I ask because I think it would be cool if we only used photos for this, that way we can tell exactly what the character looks like. Just an idea.

@RBYDark What gender were you planning for the navigator? The pilot will be male, and I was planning on starting to fill out the crew list with these details as they come up.

Ha! No, I haven't seen it, but now I may have to so I can get the joke (though the synopses of it on Wikipedia was not too encouraging... XD)

As for weaponry, I like the idea of having laser and electric guns along with regular guns, with the higher tech guns being much more expensive the more powerful they get, making it so that, especially considering the cost of charging packs, laser and electric can just too pricy for the average scum of the sky. Now, maybe there is a way for electric guns to be recharged (some black market add-on?), that way, though the upfront cost might be too high for many, it pays off in the (very long) long run because you do not have to buy ammo.

Yay! I mean, heh... I am pleased to hear that, and I know what you mean- not everyone can handle a dark plot. Seriously, though, I am relieved to know that, as I might have had to pass on the RP if it was to be all jokes. I just do not write like that and I would only disappoint everyone involved with my post's deficiency in humor.

Nevix, please tell us that you enjoy 'the more dramatic and darker end of the spectrum'? :)

Yes, drugs! Not to sound over enthusiastic about such a thing, but I already thought up an expensive but highly dangerous drug for this that a character I am thinking up is an addict of. He even goes so far as to get payed partially with it after a job. I will explain more once Nevix has agreed to the darker plot.

But aside from drugs, I am sure that whatever morals they have must slip at times for the sake of keeping everyone payed and keeping the ship in the air.

First off, thank you for bringing all of our discussion over.

But more to the point, that is a clever idea, but I don't really think we should have the main plot be one of comedy. It would be great if there was humor in a happenstance sort of way, but I am really not into straight-up comedy in writing. I do not know what your tastes are (as I've only just met you and have yet to read any of your writing :P ), but I enjoy a deeper, more serious plot.

@Nevix @RBYDark
Here it is, our discussion thread!

In addition to what we've already talked about, let's figure out who will play which roles on the ship. I am sure that we will all want to take a couple characters each to fill out the crew.

Here is a list I threw together of crew members to be picked from- (will be added to and edited as needed)

- Captain
- First Mate (Nev. Female?)
- Pilot (Reven. Male, name- Hael Cinrel)
- Navigator (Dark. Male, name- Red)
- Ship Engineer (Dark.)
- Medic (Nev. Male, name-Ozmond McGregor)
- Cargo Manager & Job Negotiator/Public Relations (Reven. Female)
- Gunmen/Security (1-Dark.)

@Nevix

Have a great time on vacation, Nevix!
I have to go to bed now, but if it hasn't been made by the time I am on tomorrow, I will make the page. And it is nice to know how flexible you are with this, as it will be fun to really build the world together.

Oh, and since @RBYDark has already picked a character (navigator), I would like the pilot. Please.

@RBYDark

Very true. After that, they could have probably just flown to earth for more. (You know, big family BBQ and all...)

And yeah, we need an OOC Chat thread.

Nev's Desperate Attempt to find a 1x1 (Always Searching. Always Desperate)

@Nevix@RBYDark, great ideas!

Personally, I like the sound of a dark galaxy which encompasses them all (ah, maybe not the Furbies? XD ).

In addition, let us decide this- are there other intelligent life forms out there? (I know, spooky...)

I like the idea that, yes, there are some.

But, maybe their numbers and power have been in great decline from years of waring each other, long before humans ever set foot on the galactic scene, which made it much easier in the beginning for the less-advanced humans to survive in this knew world and not just be steamrolled.

With the help of quickly made allies, seer luck and underhanded actions, humans have been adle to scrape themselves out a large spot in space and are somewhat respected (not by all). But in the beginning, there was enslavement and farming (we are tender and juicy) of the humans, though mainly the lower classes- those deemed lesser first by humans. This would lead to raids on human populations, general mistreatment of people, and this is where some of the genetic alteration comes in.

The humans that were taken for work and food have been hybrid and genetically modified so that they are now almost their own beeds, very different from humans. This means that nurmally, people are not on the menu, though that does not mean that if the situation arises, one of the aliens in question will not take the opportunity to have a filling meal.

Thoughts?
