@Ronin Lotus So is it possible to have a chara already employed on teh E6?

Like my concept is my chara is a mid-level security officer that has a plan to sneak a relative on board. This way it provides an 'in' or at leaast an option for the charas to get passage aboard the E6? Does that work?


Absolutely, and that's a great idea. Depending on where this relative is located, you could also have an angle with them being captured by members of a gang, perhaps holding the relative for ransom. This could provide an opportunity for a couple of our characters to free the relative and give your character incentive to sneak them on board. Just a thought, but I like your idea either way.
Still very interested!
@Ronin Lotus I was wondering what your idea was about AI and how you would see them in this world?


Great question, Flynn. I imagine there was a lot of trial and error as far as AI was concerned in this world, and that most projects were confidential and in secret. I believe that increasing technology alone would have impacted the world's job market for humans, creating a great deal of uproar, hence leading to more significant AI developments being done in secret with some educational exceptions. I imagine most of these projects were military and medical based, but that a big complication was the AI's increasing ability to learn independently, often drifting itself off script or from intended purposes. This isn't to say the AI's would act negatively, but that they'd become unreliable or somewhat too independent, especially in military or medical based senarios where it's life and death.

AI was likely used in different types of machine bodies depending on its uses. I like the idea that there might have been a secret location where androids with AI were developed, and that they were destroyed with the exception of one adapting to its surroundings and escaping its environment. But even a non-human form could prove interesting.

I think that an AI based character could be very knowledgeable and seemingly mature, but with a childlike quality in how it doesn't fully understand or perceive its surroundings in the same way that humans do. Certain judgement calls could be a problem. It also might depend on what environments the AI has developed in.

Do you have any thoughts or ideas regarding AI?
My Character.

Name: Jin Law (born Chen Luo or 羅陳)
Age: 31
Gender: Male

Appearance:


Weapon Reference: behance.net/gallery/42511403/Sci-Fi-S…

Background: Jin Law was born prematurely in Fenghuang, China, to a young and unmarried couple as they toured the Hunan Province. His mother was Liu Yang Wu, a 19 year old law student, and his father Liu Wei Luo, a 23 year old thief with a fabricated back story as a photography student and part-time butcher. Struggling to raise their unregistered son while fearful of Liu Yang’s strict parents, the couple spent three months travelling with their son before abandoning him on an adoption centre’s doorstep. The agency took responsibility of him and registered him as ‘Chen Luo’ as written in his apologetic letter of abandonment. He was later adopted by American parents at the age of 6. Due to a pronunciation misunderstanding, his adopted mother had called him Jin Law, long enough for it to become preference before he was legally renamed Jin Johnson with the middle name ‘Law’.

Jin was a generally smart but reserved child, quiet and reluctant to make friends. He did, however, enjoy reading groups and martial arts classes, where he’d reveal a more confident personality and take pleasure in group activities.

As Jin grew through his teens, his love of books dwindled somewhat, though he would continue with his martial arts training with great passion. He became interested in conflict based psychology and topics based around survival. But Jin’s wellbeing took an unexpected turn when his biological mother, Liu Yang Wu, now 38 years old, managed to find him. Her intentions were good, but her presence unsettled him. She stayed briefly, sharing information of Jin’s first three months and biological background, as well as her eventual acknowledgement of his father’s criminal ways. She explained, however, that abandoning Jin was her decision despite furious opposition by his father. Liu Wei Luo passed two years prior, and had grieved the loss of his son until that very day.

As a parting gift, Jin’s biological mother gifted him with a silver bracelet with a small silver dove attached to it, formerly owned by Jin's biological father. She said her goodbyes and normality would appear restored. But Jin, emotionally conflicted and discovering deeply rooted feelings of abandonment, instead fled from his schooling, adopted parents, and the small town in Massachusetts where he had been raised. He would leave without saying a word, and never return.

Jin spent his twenties on the road, moving from one unfamiliar town to another. He worked both legal and illegal jobs, often based in security. While only 5’9, he aggressively continued his training in numerous martial arts disciplines and weaponry and proved himself a formidable force in a fight. That is, he was formidable when he wasn’t biting off more than he could chew and getting pounded into a bloody pulp. It wasn’t until his late twenties that he finally calmed down, but perhaps little too late as the world had begun to break down around him and the prospect of a better future had vanished.

Awesome. The OOC is coming along nicely and might be up as early as tomorrow. The RP will follow maybe a week or so later or as and when we're ready. I'll give everyone a mention, and whoever's still interested just give a shout in the OOC!
Great, then I'm sure we can make up the numbers.

For those interested in pondering over a character in advance of an OOC, here's the basic sheet and an incomplete sample of my character. I'll be adding all of my information to the 'profile' section of the sheet, but you would be more than welcome to modify the profile section and add additional categories to suit your needs, perhaps including the likes of background or personality.





For anyone interested, you're also more than welcome to wait until I've got an OOC up before thinking about a character, especially if you'd like to see how it pans out before putting yourself forward. I'll aim to get an OOC up this week unless no more interest comes in, in which case I'll give it a little more time.

(In brief) Humans had advanced enough to redefine space travel and terraform Mars, but their actions negatively interfered with Earth's natural processes. The planet, now with an irreversibly toxic and unmanageable atmosphere, is destined for extinction.

When the planet's fate could no longer be denied, world leaders revealed controversial plans of evacuation to relocate less than 5% of the human race to Mars. The civil world was lost in uproar and became a sandy slum of sickness, famine, and violence.

Mars-bound ships, known collectively as The Ark, launched themselves into the stars. But one luxurious space liner known as the Endeavour Six (or the 'Oasis of the Stars') failed to fulfil its duty. The E-6 is rumoured to be among us and planning a second launch.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our story begins in the patchy deserts of Canada. A concentration camp formed by a newly established military-power has just been ignited into an explosion of flames. The military-power, known as Novus Ordo, seeks to oppress those who reject their dominance over the land. Meanwhile, rumours of the E-6's presence on Earth are becoming increasingly widespread, and that a second launch may be imminent. The ship is thought by few to be located at a military airbase within a circle of mountains and dying forests, heavily guarded by soldiers known as ‘Defenders’.

(Note) The world wasn't quite sci-fi concept art but there had been significant scientific and technological developments. However, one of Earth's first noticeable changes was its strange development of rust, leading to the necessary development of specially protective metals for the likes of vehicles, weapons, and modern technological devices. Without around the clock maintenance, however, this unfathomable rust would disrupt most susceptible objects over time, even in the driest of regions despite its unlikelihood. So much of our creations suffered, including the millions of solar panels we had come to rely on. As far as weapons are concerned, many people still operate old weaponry despite its unreliability, as advanced weaponry with its superior protection against the elements is rare, sought after like new gold.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The story will be divided into chapters. We'll spend some time on Earth, maybe even opening with events that took place prior to the Novus Ordo explosion. We'll eventually discover the E-6, which I imagine will involve a large battle while the pilots panic for a launch. Our characters (or new characters, depending how you feel) will gain entry. As you are aware, our eventual approach to Mars will bring the terrifying realisation that our new home is in flames. Those who arrived previously are thought to be deceased. We'll cross those roads and what stories unfold when we get there.

Interest? I'll provide a basic character sheet soon. Characters are human, though I may make an exception to one or two AI based characters if they're good ones. There won't be any super-powered God-type stuff going on, but you'd be welcome to be creative with any gear and skill sets you might have, which we'll review together.

I'm looking for about 6 - 8 participants who can generally post at least once every two weeks. I may also need some help managing things but I'll let you know.
Hello fellow roleplayers! Here's hoping for a warm welcome because I've already crossed the border and unpacked my things! It's great to see a place for writers and roleplayers as active as this one. I hope I can make some worthy contributions and share some great adventures.

That being said, a thought springs to mind. I like to think of our creations like dimensions into other worlds, like we're standing in a busy station with infinite gateways emerging into our imaginations. Today we may assume the role of one character in a world far away, and tomorrow his or her counterpart in another. RPGuild, then, is that busy station, and our infinite ideas are its gateways. The possibilities are endless.

Well, then, I guess I have a train to catch. ;)
