Perhaps assurance in advertisement would be helpful.

Too many links, too much useless banter. I'm trying to coerce it into a more condensed format

Infintium, A Space Opera

Been a tad busy but things are progressing.

If anyone wants anything SPECIFIC as given lore. Keep in mind I have pages and pages of found lore from the pre role-playing that occurred on Nation states. If you have a request of something you want now tell me.

Infintium, A Space Opera

More or less. I may update it but to put it simple.

If you make a app here, you wont regret it.

I have interest and quite a few kinds of esoteric alie civilization to experiment with. Small housecat sized aliens (they aren't cat people. That's just their size. I mention this because I know there's people on this site whose idea of a space universe consists of space elves, furry aliens, greys and people who have a goofy face) with Escher inspired architecture perhaps?

Some questions:

-When it comes to defining chemistry, does this essentially boil down to stating something like "they have a biochemistry suited for a chlorine heavy atmosphere" or "their DNA is right handed instead of left handed and have food that is universally toxic to humans" or "Living on the fringes of star systems, they utilize a liquid helium solvent"? Do factors like what gas they breathe or if they like of chemosynthesis instead of photosynthetic agriculture factor into that section?

-Can it be assumed that life with earth-like conditions has edible food half the time (due to handedness)? (Or basically aliens who have a chemical basis on a world like earth with water, oxygen producing autotrophs/Cyanobacteria & 'yellow' (as opposses to red from the plebeian (red dwarf) stars) light?). I ask this because I know there's people who believe that DNA languages will be as diverse as spoken or computer languages. However space opera demands more personal interract with denizens of the galaxy and it's hard to have personal interaction when all the life is toxic to each other. Not to mention space operas tend to be human-centric and chauvinism for our own biochemistry is pretty much inevitable (gives us more food options too).

-What is the setup exactly? Is this going to be like Babylon 5 with more alien denizens about the Galaxy or are things considerably more "anarchic" per say (i.e. No space UNs)?

-Is there a map? If galactic which Galaxy map are we using? I have a vector Galaxy map I can send to you if you have illustrator.

-What FTL system is involved? Is it a worm hole network? Is there hyperspace? Or is it Star Trek warp drives?

@Arawak

I usually prefer these questions are left to telegrams, so I can take a more direct approach with them.

I'll address them one by one, and in order and as I'm crunched for time, it will be short, sweet, and simple.

- Numero uno, I would prefer as much detail as you can put into it. If you're going to say their food is toxic to humans, why not say why? Does their biology utilize cyanide as a base for some metabolic functions? If you can explain that, good job. Keep it biologically realistic, but I'm not going to bound you to carbon based life forms.

-Numero dos, again I'm not going to prohibit creativity. A diverse set of life forms is a amazing way to go about it. I would prefer things are kept humanoid-esq only because it's a reasonably ideal form of life or evolution. (If you want to learn more about that I'd reccomend checking out some research articles on that. Amazing stuff, a google away.) Life may be toxic to one another, you may be a methane based life form, and I'm say a carbon based life forms. Some intricate systems would be required to actively communication. Bio-suits, and so on.

-ANARCHY! WOOOHOOO! No, really to some degree. I'm not going to force any communication with anyone. If you want to go ahead and form a UN before the IC really gets rolling with some others. By all means go ahead. Because I'm not coming in until there is at least some form of communication network. Because going at the story (without spoiling, those who asked in telegram keep it to yourself) by yourself is more or less suicide. So you're up to enjoy first contacts and all.

-There is no map, I find it a tad pointless and counter productive. If enough support is given for one, I'll throw one up. But frankly it's misleading, because if Civ A holds 5 hexes, while Civ B holds 6 hexes they're given off as more powerful when that's not true. Also there are a LIMITED amount of spaces on that map, but I want to be open to have as many people as we can.

The roleplay takes places in a unnamed galaxy, you can name it from your own perspective if you wish. There WILL be some extra-galactic influence, without spoiling anything.

- FTL systems up to your discretion. There is no meta-physic state of hyperspace, or warp space. You'll have to use cleverly designed FTL drives using highly mathematical calculations for mass manipulation. Or use wormholes but understand the risk with that is there usually has to be a tandem wormhole on both sides. No, kidding. There may not be a hyperspace, or warp space, unless people request it, I'll GLADLY put it in. But I've always been staunch for scientific realism so you're left to realistic ways of FTL. Faster than light is actually the one thing I usually leave to ambiguous nature, because it's very hard to make a good FTL system WITHOUT breaking physics. So I'd leave that one ambiguous. If you and a few others ask for a warp space, I'll allow it.

Any follow up questions? Send me a PM.

Also it'd be important to note a remake of this RP which may be up in the next few days, will be made on a new thread.

Infintium, A Space Opera

I am planning to revive this soon.

My mission to anyone who wants to see this succeed in a second format. I will be adding much more additional lore that's open and not to be discovered. (There is actually a lot, like a LOT). So if you're in the mood to get this done.

Go out there and gather friends and garner some interest.

@Bobisdead123

By all means if you feel there is still hope in the roleplay, I wont stop you.

Star Wars: The Bounty Hunter Guild~ IC

Arthur Invictus

"Death is the only absolute, we all come to that fate, it’s what binds us. It is the final and only ever lasting justice. Evil does not exist, only intent exists. When the side of a mountain slides to kill a village, this is not evil, for it is a force of nature. Should a sentient being cause that landslide, there is intent; and requires the justice of death as a consequence, so that civilization can exist. There is no greater justice than death; and only if law serves justice is it a good law. It is said correctly that law exists not for the just but for the unjust, for the just carry the law in their hearts, and do not need to call it from afar. I bow to no one and give service only for only this cause."

NAME: Arthur Invictus
TITLE: Praetor Arthur Invictus
CLAN: House Invicta/Invictus

---

AGE: ~Late 30’s
GENDER: Male
SPECIES: Humanoid

---

APPEARANCE:
190.5 centimetres (6 ft 3 in)
109 kilograms (240 lb)
DESCRIPTION:
The appearance of Arthur Invictus is one of imposing figure. He stands just above the average height of the average male humanoid, even emboldened by years of strenuous activity. His skin tone is pale and seems to be littered in tribal-esq markings originating from Mandalorian culture. His eyes are a pale, sickly white absent of pupils due to genetic alteration and synthetic enhancement.

---

AFFILIATION:

Arthur holds no allegiance to any house of the guild, any faction or sovereign state but himself as an individual. As such he is technically governed by no laws other than the ones he makes for himself or the bits and pieces he still may follow from Mandalorian code of honor.

He is also a wanted man, with bounties placed upon him from a multitude of sources; The Hutt cartel has incited interest for his capture, as has the Republic have a outstanding bounty warrant so that he may face trial in Republic law. The guild also has expressed interest in his death, or capture due to his violation of guild rules, and possible dealing in black bounties. No two parties have more of a reason for bounty then to Mandalorian government, who have a significant bounty on his head, and several survivors of Karyat have smaller scale bounties on his head. This has led him to become a trophy bounty.

---

BACKGROUND:

Arthur was born on a unknown colonial works where he ended up as a war orphan during a small skirmish campaign of a Mandalorian Commander in the outer rim. Per Mandalorian tradition and culture, the child showed tenacity surviving, and as such was adopted as a Mandalorian to the general's house Invicta/Invictus becoming one of their clan.
Arthur spent a lot of his time learning about Mandalorian culture, his heritage and history of his new people while he was young. He was accepted into the Mandalorian academy after a commission from his father, he proved to be one of the best in his class thanks to a young age of struggling to survive, and the teachings of his father.

Arhur graduated in his class as a Lancer in the Mandalorian Skyburners, a regiments whose history was made famous during the Mandalorian Wars during the waning years. With a position of command Arthur led men under his command exceptionally but often violently, seeing a ends justifying the means philosophy. It was around this time that Arthurs adoptive father perished due to falling ill.

During the invasion of Karyat by the Mandalorian Skyburners following a covert operation to protect Mandalorian Duraplast production on the planet, Arthur was deployed with his fellow Skyburners to quell a insurrection of workers and their droids.
Arthur and his brothers in arms attacked the factory city on Karyat following a massive orbital bombardment ordered by Arthur to soften up static positions. Leading his men onto the planet below, most resistance was all too easy a spice droid could mop it up.

Believing that the workers had stained Mandalorian tradition, Arthur ordered the workers and refugees to be headed into a courtyard where they were slaughtered. This solidified the title of ‘Butcher of Karyat’ to Arthur, as his Infamy only continued to grow in time with his actions of ruthlessness.

In time Arthur was appointed as Praetor of the Royal Mandalorian guard, tasked with recruiting members to it, and protecting high valued Mandalorian individuals.

Although it is not known only to records long buried under bureaucracy, something compelled Arthur to go rogue from the Mandalorian guard. He and some loyal members of the guard, proceeded to steal a ship and supplies to leave Mandalore fleeing into the outer rim territory.

It would be almost half a galactic standard year before the famed rogue hunter turned up the the guild looking for some minor bounty hunter work. Although their time would be brief as he would turn to be ignorant of the guild's rules and inconsiderate of their empathetic ideals leading to his split, and eventually a bounty on his head due to ruthlessness.

The Praetor would turn up again looking for work as a bounty hunter for the Hutt cartel. He committed assassinations and bounties for the Cartel, one of the most famous including the murder of Rey Vidli, a Republic Senator. Seeing a way to make money, as there at this point was a significant outstanding bounty of the ex-Mandalorians head by the Mandalorian command, and now the republic. The Hutt cartel attempted to capture the Praetor, only to have one of their own Fargo Hutt burned to death.

The Praetor has now incurred the wrath of any survivor of Karyat, the Republic, the Guild, the Hutt cartel, Mandalore and any bounty hunter looking to find the trophy of the ‘Butcher of Karyat’. The Praetor was running out of safe places to hide, and to find work fast as he quickly became one of, if not the most wanted men in the galaxy.

All-Weather Republic Fatigues:
A set of republic issue, all weather fatigues. Easy to procure on the black market, for extreamely cheap, it is a favorite of bounty hunters as it provides comfort, insulation, and durability in an extremely wide variety of situations.

Mandalorian Jet Pack(Damaged):
A standard issue jetback of the Mandalorian design, it allows the user to gain flight advantages for more tactical options. The missile launching mechanism seems to be damaged, and in need of repair due to an emergency faulty launch of its payload.

Modified Mandalorian Assault Blaster Rifle:
The Mandalorian Assault rifle, is an age-old weapon of potential often given to its shock troops in the mandalorian wars, it has been updated over the eras to stay modern, This variant seems to be adapted for a select-fire, elongated barrel, marksman stock and grip, as well as a sight.

Dual WESTAR-34 Blaster Pistols:
A common Mandalorian bounty hunter pistol fashioned from dallorian alloy, designed for short ranged accuracy and to fire for extended periods of time without overheating thanks to the fashioned heat resistant alloy. They sell for a good price on the black market.

Royal Beskad:
A beskad is something of tradition to be passed down from member to member in a Mandalorian clan, and is almost something of a sacred weapon. Forged from Beskad Iron, it is capable of blocking a lightsaber strike, although it’s use in warfare is minimal beyond dueling.

'Unyielding Resolve' M22-T Krayt - Class Gunship
he unyielding resolve is the personal craft of the ex-Praetor stolen from the depot, it served while Arthur was in the guard, and when he left it, ferrying him from system to system. Designed by Mandal motors for gunship and patrol duty, it's found a small niche as a vessel for bounty hunters thanks to it's multi-purpose use and easy modification. It holds a decent sized cargo space, with the stock two Carbonite prisoner transport devices in the hold. The Unyielding Resolve has been modified to have a Class .70 Hyperdrive, and a stealth drive to keep it on the down low. The Krayt holds it's stock weapon system allowing it a varied payload for situations, while although not built to be a sustained fighter it may have some ground based use. It can be operated by a single person, but works best with a crew of two or three individuals, one of the major benefits that a person can give the vessel as with almost all Mandalmotors craft, basic commands for ground support use when not being piloted. (Take off, fly, pick up, shoot, ect)

---

ABILITIES:

Arthur Invictus is at his core a fighter, not a diplomat. He has fantastic marksmanship and reflexes thanks to his time as a Mandalorian soldier, and eventually as the leader of their guard. His pride ones in his skill as a duelist per his clan's heritage, he is a master Beskad swordsman and has shown to practice with it regularly.

While he can gladly and easily perform a warrior's duty he is a poor diplomat and negotiator compared to the charismatic stereotype associated with bounty hunters. Any speech he does relies purely in intimidation and cut to the point tactics.

CREDITS: Almost scraping buy, bartering valuables in hold.

Unfortunately, this role play while although nothing was wrong with it's presentation, or premise. Simply did not gain enough popularity, or applications, and slowly began to crumble away into nothing.

It is with immense regret that I inform you who vested interest or began application, that I close down this role play due to the fact it simply wont get the potential to start. That is not to say there isn't a future ahead where I may remake it, or attempt to revive it, so your applications are still good, and I urge you to grow and develop on them so when the time comes you are ready to pop right into role play.

It's disappointing because I had such high hopes for this role play, and vested so much time a and effort into it's backstory over the years, and hope to finally accumulate all that lore into one final role play.

I wish you all the best of luck on your travels in space in the future, godspeed.
