We Are on a Space Adventure Signups/Interest Thread

did something happen greg?

off the shits

Ignore that prior post of mine. Things are fine once more.

Also, character sheet.

• Name: Toraq Corax (aka Tor)

• Age: 32

• Gender: Male

• Race: Beastkin (Tigari clan)

• Homeworld: Marental

• Physical Traits/Appearance: Is about 6'5" and 202 lbs. He's tall and lean, and a has a decent built, and has brown, slightly unkempt brown hair and stubble, green eyes, and light brown skin. He's got a scar on his right cheek, as well as three stripes on both cheeks and wears a few earrings in each ear. He tends to wear formal or semi-formal clothing, except for sometimes going near barefoot. He wears footwraps made of bandages, regardless of whether he wears shoes or not. He also wears a thin, blue-violet collar-like necklace set with an amber Essence stone, an anniversary gift from his husband.

• Biology: As the term might imply, beastkin are humanoids with obvious beast like features. In Toraq's case, his ears have a bit of a notable point, has tiger stripes on various parts of his body, as well as sharp claws and a long tail, not unlike that of a tigers. His bones are build a bit lighter than average, giving him increased agility and flexibility.

• Occupation: Doctor/Techno-Alchemist

• Equipment/Tools: Medical bag containing surgical tools, syringes, bandages, plasma scalpels, Essence stones and cartidges, EAD - Gauntlet Type (Essence Amplification Device)

• Powers/Abilities:
  • Essence Control - Can manipulate a force known as "Essence" which is harnessed through Essence Stones, a form of solidified magic-esque energy. Toraq manifests his Essence in a bodily aura, which he can shape as he wills, as well as use it to heal and increase defenses. Using his EAD Gauntlets boosts the power of his Essence exponentially, though they require Essence cartidges to function.

  • Medical Knowledge - Has advanced knowlegde of multiple forms of treatments for a number of different races.

  • Techno-Alchemy - A rather new branch of science from his homeworld, utilizing technology to alter Essence to convert it to states where it can be used more modern applications, such as medicines or power sources or equipment.

  • Beastkin Senses: Thanks to his beastkin blood, he has an acute sense of hearing and smell, as well as heightened reflexes.

• Background: TBA

• Miscellaneous: TBA

Old habits die hard, especially when no one else lets them die either.

Am I too late for the party or are signups still open? This seems interesting

"One may feel fear in the face of danger so long as one banishes fear when danger actually arrives"

Sign ups are still open. They're always open.

"After time adrift among open stars, along tides of light and through shoals of dust, I will return to where I began."

Nice, currently working on my CS, question how big is the hangar? From what I got I can't spawn but need to go there in my own ship. Also for background reasons, is there a relatively young (as in only recently discovered space-travel) race?

"One may feel fear in the face of danger so long as one banishes fear when danger actually arrives"

The hangar is as big or as small as the plot requires. So if you want to have your character arrive on a personal ship you can do so. We can say there is enough space.
(If you meant size for how big of a individual vessel, well we only really have fighters and a personnel transport in there.)

Alternately you could arrive on a passing vessel like a merchant ship or similar if that would make sense more in character. Alternatively waiting till we return to a non-mission based space-station or to a planet which will be quite a few IRL days. Its really up to you, there are lots of ways to get to the ship.

For races? Well we don't have a unified codex of every race and everything, its very much anything goes. So if you want there to be such a alien race, there can be one. Feel free to design and detail it as much as you like to and give the information in your characters appearance and biology sections.

"After time adrift among open stars, along tides of light and through shoals of dust, I will return to where I began."

Kay, just wanted a preexisting one since the race I think of is only needed as a one off for my backstory and I found it kinda overkill to design an entire race only for one character of them to appear in my BG and never again. Also if the hangar is pretty much as big as it is required to be then I think that I take the own vessel approach

"One may feel fear in the face of danger so long as one banishes fear when danger actually arrives"

I can understand the overkill sentiment but its all part of world building. Even if you don't plan to use it for a lot more, perhaps someone else will want to.

Plus its always good to expand the universe as a whole.

"After time adrift among open stars, along tides of light and through shoals of dust, I will return to where I began."

Wait, considering it, While Earth doesn't exist, humans or rather Terrans do, right? I just got another idea and Terrans would fit the bill for that well enough (the story about a Tragic Keepsake my PC has)

"One may feel fear in the face of danger so long as one banishes fear when danger actually arrives"

While Earth doesn't exist, humans or rather Terrans do, right?

Yeah that's right, though we still refer to them as Humans most of the times some likely refer to them as Terrans instead.

But yeah, Earth itself doesn't exist. We have Terra to stand in for Earth instead.

"After time adrift among open stars, along tides of light and through shoals of dust, I will return to where I began."

Well, considering that, here goes nothing:

• Name: Sha'Koro (with a pretty sharp/insectoid sound to it) since few can actually pronounce that correct he mostly goes by the name Kopaka (still a pretty sharp pronounciation but since there are no 's' in it its at least better to pronounce for members of other species)
• Age: 147
• Gender: Male
• Race: Ga'Zssa
• Homeworld: None (born in a Space Station drifting in Deep Space)
• Physical Traits/Appearance: He decided to replace the normally blue Lense of his left eye for a gold one, this serves no real reason and is only aesthetic. His antennae are around as long as his head, are of the clavate type and look like this◊. He has Digitigrade legs.
• Biology: The Ga'Zssa are robotic insectoids, no one knows why they were created, some say they were created by long gone civilisation to serve their now extinct creators. Regardless of their original purpose (if there ever was one) now the Ga'Zssa roam the galaxy. Since they're robotic a Ga'Zssa technically can live forever.
• Occupation: Archeologist
• Equipment/Tools:
  • Augment: Snap arm: Sha'Koro's arms can transform into the something akin to the Raptorial leg of a Mantis (Order: Mantodea) to enhace its Close Combat Capabilities.
  • Augment: Maximal Booster: There are small rocket thrusters in Sha'Koro's elbows, back and ankles, he can use those to greatly augment his capability to kick or punch, also he can hover a bit over the ground with it.
• Starting Gear:
  • Old compass: Sha'Koro once met a member of one of the newer spacefaring races, called Terran, their brief time together ended tragic, the dying human gave Sha'Koro this piece of metal, calling it Compass, he explained to Sha'Koro that this was once used to find the way back home by humans. Sha'Koro has kept it ever since.
  • Claw Shields: Two shields with extendable claws in them, when not in use they're usually shouler mounted (think of the ō-sode seen on Ō-yoroi armors), since Sha'Koro mostly uses his Snap Arm Augment to fight that can be seen as their main use - if he ever fights to begin with. These claws can be shot, they are connected to the shields with chains, Sha'Koro can shoot them either while the shields are on his forearms or shoulders.
  • Aicha: The Resident AI for the Ultimo she's fully self aware and mostly can be seen as a Hard Light projection travelling on his shoulders
• Background: Sha'Koro is an archeologist, in the past he teamed up with one of the Terrans. Sha'Koro build a bit of an relationsship with the Terran, he admired the Terran for his adaptability considering that he was bound by flesh. Both searched ruins for a couple of years, aways searching for artifacts they could send to a museum. Though after about a month in a particulary huge ruin that they searched at that time that ended. While exploring a big hall a pillar started to collapse, Sha'Koro tried to push the Terran away in time but failed to do so. The debris from the pillar crushed the lower body of the Terran. Before dying the man gave Sha'Koro his compass, and made him promise to not let this stop him from searching ruins. Sha'Koro still honors that promise and keeps searching. They once set up a small store in the ship he and the Terran once bought, the Ultimo where they sold artifacts that were of no scientific value.
• Trivia:
  • The Ultimo is an old Northwind-class deep space freighter. Its armament consists of some point-defense weapons against missiles. Sha'Koro sacrificed a bit of cargo space to add in hangar capacities for a single Shogun-class fighter (while being enough to scare off the occasional scavenger its by no means much considering offensive capabilities. Doubly so since the fateful day the Terran died leaving Sha'Koro with no pilot for the obsolete fighter anymore). (For size, think of around 1/2 to 1/3 the size of a TS in the X universe, so probably a little bit bigger than the RL Space Shuttle)

Oh, hey Sergey!

off the shits

Hiya there Daydre

"One may feel fear in the face of danger so long as one banishes fear when danger actually arrives"

CS mostly done, though one last question, what about the technology level? Would hard light projections and self aware AI's be a thing here?

edited 28th Mar '16 10:05:19 AM by Sergey_Smirnov

"One may feel fear in the face of danger so long as one banishes fear when danger actually arrives"

Yes and Yes to those two.

Edit: Okay expanded, pretty much if you can think of it in sci-fi it proberbly exists in some fashion. Might be rare, but it would exist.

"After time adrift among open stars, along tides of light and through shoals of dust, I will return to where I began."

Kay, and with that I'm done with the CS

"One may feel fear in the face of danger so long as one banishes fear when danger actually arrives"

Erm dk if you're going to approve me though would someone be willing to tell me nontheless a short summary of the story so far? I already fear to have t Archive Binge more than 100 pages.

Ack sry for doublepost

"One may feel fear in the face of danger so long as one banishes fear when danger actually arrives"

Okay, first off sorry for double... actually now triple post. Though just wanted to know if I am accepted and can hop in or if I need to change things before being accpeted.

"One may feel fear in the face of danger so long as one banishes fear when danger actually arrives"

Hey, sorry for not seeing those, but from what I can tell you look good to go. I'm not one of the G Ms, but I think they'll agree. Either way, I'll let them know (two I believe are asleep, one is in class) as soon as I can and they should get to you.

Currently, we are on a space station doing a mission, though you can easily show up in some capacity or another, either through running into our ship or running into us on our next stop, or something else.

Also, in terms of what you should know about the Troperia at this point, the ship and its crew managed to fight off an organization known as Darkwatch on a planet called GLX-2000. Darkwatch, as I read it, seems to be kinda...well, dark, so how your character would react to this is up to that and to you. Again, sorry for missing you there, there's been some stuff.

Nah, is cool, is cool, I'll look into it, it and as said, I'll likely make it a chance meeting with the Ultimo

"One may feel fear in the face of danger so long as one banishes fear when danger actually arrives"

Ah, crap, sorry. I looked at your sheet the first day you posted and completely forgot to respond. Sorry about that, my life has become a lot more busy recently. >.<

Anyway, yeah, as one of the G Ms, I give you the green light, dude. Join right in whenever you're ready.

Old habits die hard, especially when no one else lets them die either.

Cool thanks, sorry for the trouble.

"One may feel fear in the face of danger so long as one banishes fear when danger actually arrives"

Well, better late than never. Here is Izzie's sheet. I will compile all of my characters' sheets and post a combined and updated version sometime soon. Ish.

---

• Name: Isofer ‘Izzie’ Keruves

• Age: 27

• Gender: Female

• Race: Palavian

• Physical Traits/Appearance:
  • 5’11”/180 cm, 158 lbs/72 kg, moss green skin tone, lean and athletic build, body mostly covered with thin, sleek carapace that look like large ‘scales’, general appearance slightly resembling a draconic/avian humanoid, four fingers/toes on each limb
  • Grey eyes with dark sclera, average sized pleated bony nose, facial carapace extending to two medium-sized points on the side-back of the head resembling flattened horns, slightly pointed ears with the lower section joined to the sides of the head, jaws with mandibles covered with plates on either side

• Biology (optional): Coming soon, refer to appearance for external physiology.

• Homeworld: Iriden

• Occupation: Security personnel, software, electronic & biochemical engineer, machinist

• Equipment:
  • Magnetic-mass field rifle: This rifle takes design aspects from both Hestian and Iriden standard blueprints. It shoots ammunition that is very small compared to normal guns, but has a mass-field generator and powerful electromagnetic rails that allow it to accelerate bullets to much faster speeds, making it just as if not more deadly.
  • Taser gun: Izzie uses a taser gun as a non-lethal options in some missions or when in a pinch.
  • Combat armor: Izzie owns a set of Iriden’s standard combat armor, which projects kinetic barriers and increases the wearer’s agility and strength. She has tweaked her suit to create stronger shielding which also defends against attacks besides physical projectiles, as well as more powerful energy cells than standard.
  • Neural interface: This interface assists in both day-to-day tasks and combat, mainly in the form of creating a UI perceived as part of the wearer’s natural vision, enhancing senses and handling calculations when needed, allowing communication with other linked users up to several kilometers and access to both local and interstellar networks. The external component is shaped as a thick metallic strand running up the wearer’s neck and back of the head, around the ear and side of the face, able to create a holographic visor for various tasks. It is connected to a subdermal implant which acts as the main processing unit as well as a transmitter and modem between the device and the brain.
  • Hoverboard: This hoverboard combines powerful propulsion & stabilizer technology, highly compact power cells and mass field nanites to achieve steady lift. It can fly at high speeds while projecting kinetic shields for both air friction and projectiles, making it a desirable method of transportation in any situation.
  • Dimension folding backpack: This grey-green armored backpack seems to be rather innocuous from the outside, but in reality is one of Izzie’s most prized possessions and an important reason she is able to fight on par with her team despite her lack of psionics. The inside of the backpack contains preprogrammed nanites which fold and expand the space inside, allowing it to store a large room’s worth of objects. It also has a powerful mass-decreasing field, preventing the storage’s weight from becoming a burden, and is protected against both conventional physical damage and EMPs.
    • Drone swarm: Izzie has dozens of drones at her command which fulfill various functions. They are often used for surveillance, dispensing medical aid and assisting in combat, along with other uses.
    • Utility & combat devices: Izzie has a large array of devices at her disposal, the majority of them electronic. Some examples are medical supplies and shield/supply pylons. One peculiar type of grenade that she carries is specially designed to shut down physics modifying nanite-based technology and psionics omnipresent in Iriden and Hestia respectively, as well as interfering with psionics and cybernetics in general to a lesser extent.

• Powers/Abilities:
  • Exceptional intelligence: Izzie was recognized as an academic prodigy since she was young. She is capable of absorbing and analyzing vast quantities of information in a very short time, and is highly knowledgeable in multiple subjects despite her young age.
  • Soldier & engineer training: Izzie received basic training as a soldier in Iriden, and was afterwards given specialized education as an engineer. She also has some training as a medic as well as enough knowledge in biology and chemistry to act as a corpsman in the field, assisted by her drones.
    • Coding & hacking skills: Even by the standards of Palavians, which as a species focuses on technological development and are naturally inclined towards electronics and cybernetics, Izzie is an exceptional programmer and software engineer.

Background:

Izzie was born and raised in Iriden for most of her childhood. From an early age, her astounding intellect made her stand out, allowing her to breeze through school and graduate at the age of 15. She entered college and graduated with multiple engineering degrees within a few short years, afterwards working for a master’s degree in robotics and programming.

Not content with simply being a technician, she signed up for Iriden’s unified military program. Her ambition and skill caught the attention of Valdes, who personally taught her how to use her skills for combat. In her words, she ‘hitched a ride’ with Val when he was invited by Dominic to join his team, and now works as the primary machinist and a vital support team member.

• Miscellaneous/Notes (optional): Coming soon.

• Name: Dulkar
• Age: 26
• Race: ???
• Homeworld: ???

• Physical Traits/Appearance:

Dulkar looks like a normal human, tall, fairly muscular but slim. Having slightly long black hair reaching his neck, green eyes and no facial hair, you could indeed mistake him for a normal, out-of-the-mill human being. That is, until you take a look at his skin. His skin is pale- unnaturally so- the paleness you'd expect from a person about to die. And yet he's healthy as a fish. He has no clue why this is. As for clothes, he dons a t-shirt and jeans. He rarely wears anything else, somehow.

• Occupation:

He doesn't really have an occupation, nor does he remember ever having one.

• Equipment/Tools:

The only real piece of equipment he carries around is a transmitter headgear which amplifies his voice if needed and does what a normal transmitter headgear would do. Aside from that, he has no special equipment whatsoever- altough part of his body seems to be cybernetic or at least to have been modified in some way

• Powers/Abilities:

Dulkar has no flashy superpowers or anything like that. All he has as far as powers go is extreme durability- he can resist jumping off a ship and landing on another, as well as staying out in space for a while before entering just fine. He also has very high physical strenght, being able to run very fast for long periods of time, or to punch through solid walls, altough the latter takes some effort

He also is capable of cooking basic terran meals, nothing too complicated. He actually possesses some terran knowledge, altough he has no idea how.

• Backstory:

Dulkar's backstory... is mostly unknown. He has no idea where he comes from, what he grew up doing, and stuff. The latest thing he does remember is waking up on a ship with an urge to jump down from it- which he did, landing on the Troperia.

For the longest time I've been struggling to find an interesting RP that isn't dead for a change. If you're still accepting new characters, I might join. I should be able to post daily/every other day, and in rare circumstances I might be limited to a post once a week, so I hope that isn't too much of a problem. I will admit, I have a variety of possible character ideas, but no clue which one to choose so I might want to discuss that a bit and spend some time brainstorming if nothing else.

I do have experience participating in roleplays in the past, so I've had some time to figure out what works (and perhaps most importantly what doesn't). If there's no problem with me joining, I'll just throw it out there and say that I don't really plan to create any plots of my own right away (save for the obligatory introductory one) and am more likely to join in other plots for a while (provided that I have the approval of whoever made it).

Again, I'm interested in possibly joining this RP, just need to think of characters and have the OP/GM's approval.
