"Whoa, sorry. I was just poking fun at you, I didn't mean anything by it. Also, his words, not mine." Mitch quickly apologizes. "I was just thinking it couldn't hurt to get more kinds of stuff to wear. And the cape's a substitute for when he's not wearing his wings."

"So, I'm guessing that's a no to calling him? And what do you think about the food?"

Reign over everything. Take over everything. For over half a millennium these were the unofficial mottos of the great interstellar empires that grew to encompass nearly all the Known Galaxy's civilized species. In the name of peace and stability, the Great Interstellar League was formed by the sentient space ships called the Nomads. With military might and economic pressure they imposed their will on countless planets. Opposing the League was the Pact, established by the three Founders to stand up for freedom and self-determination. At least those are the line they fed to the universe. In truth, the differences ended at the propaganda they spewed. Maybe they had started with noble causes, but after centuries of mismanagement and corruption both sides had become oppressive regimes that sucked the resources, money, and lives of their vassals and colonies for their own luxurious benefits and to be tossed into the regularly erupting war between them.

The one thing that had not changed since their inceptions was the mutual loathing the League and Pact's leaderships had for each other. When tensions between these rival galactic superpowers reached yet another boiling point, war broke out once more. This time was different though. In an all out effort to destroy each other, the two empires poured everything they had into a state of total war. The effect was devastating as the conflict see-sawed back and forward; cities and colonies were destroyed, infrastructure and agriculture ruined, whole planets rendered uninhabitable for decades. Billions lost their lives and billions more were left destitute, homeless, starving.

For the League, the losses proved too much to handle. After a campaign that left their Nomad overlords near ruin, they agreed to a cease-fire. The war was as good as lost, and many members of the League, tired of its oppression and angry that they had been led into a losing conflict where everyone had lost someone, exploited its vulnerable state to rebel. The League dissolved in the face of mass uprising, and the Nomads were left with a rump state and a mere shell of their former glory.

Ironically, without the threat of the League to keep them in line, the members of the Pact also saw the opportunity to break free from the heavy handed Founders. Though victorious, many of the Pact members had also suffered extensive damage and were tired of having their rights restricted and having to send tribute to the Founders for their own personal. The Pact was paralyzed by this mass desertion and even now the Founders are still debating on what to do.

From the collapse of these super powers emerged a vastly different political order as rebellious states formed their own independent governments. Sovereign for the first time in centuries, these new nations have to rebuild after the war has taken its heavy toll in lives and property damage. That was two years ago. As governments comes and go, new social orders are built and torn down, refugees stream across uncertain borders, wars and rumors of wars about, a new universal dawn is arriving. While it usher in a new era of peace? Or will the collapse of the old order usher in a galactic dark age?

Alrighty, if you're still reading this than hopefully you're interested in becoming a part of our galactic community. Now that you're read up on the past, let's get to the here and now!

In this game you will be playing as one of the new states that came out of the collapsed League or Pact. Information on both these super powers that might influence your decision are in the links provided. To do this, you will be creating your nation and an ambassador to the Space!UN (open to suggestions for name for that) to represent your interests to the rest of the galaxy. There you will deal, discuss, ally, betray, and smooch with each other. There's a lot of instability right as these new states vie with each other for the resources and infrastructure left over by the old regimes. To complicate matters, other larger nations may be moving in to snatch up the easy pickings among the new small states. Your independence may be short lived...

To better explore the galaxy, you will also be playing a common man character For whatever reason this character doesn't want to be a citizen of wherever they happen to be at the moment. Maybe it's a species thing, maybe it's turbulence in the political climate or economic woes. Maybe it's personal reasons or maybe they just plain don't like were they've been living. Anywho, they'll be part of a space voyage of refugees in search of a new home. Along the way you'll stop at all the nations, see which ones your characters like after having an adventure or misadventure and hopefully settle down somewhere in peace.

Plays will create nations first, and if those are approved, another set of sign-ups sheets will be provided for the characters. Have fun with it!

Sign-Up

• Name: What are you called?
• Species: Who are the primary inhabitants of your nation? Note that due to the previous state of the super powers and refugee situation it's probable that there are many other aliens residing in your nation, please consult with each other if you want members of a species created by another player as part of your own nation as well.
• History: Where'd you start? What superstate were you a part of and what incited to to rebel? What are your plans now?
• Government: How do you operate? Who is running this joint? What is your relation to other nations?
• Territory and Population: How big are you and how many of you are there? For balance purposes, you are limited to four star systems and approximately 42 billion people.
• Military: Pew pew! Bang Bang! What is your military like? Again, balance purposes will limit this to about 30% of your population and your space forces are limited to a max of 25 space craft.
• Infrastructure: The fabric of the nation. How does the nation function? What are the important science and technological parts of the national life? How does law enforcement work? Communication? Transportation? Industry? Think about what you have, and think about what you lack that your old superstate used to provide.
• Culture: The social fabric of the nation. Religion, folklore, the arts, customs those sort of things.
• Trivia: Whatever else you think might be worth mentioning.

1. Sorry its soo long.
2. I apologise for the definite ton of grammatical and spelling mistakes. Writing this through the whole night does not help my already poor sense of language.
3. As I said before to you. It's a unusual case I am presenting, if you're not okay with it, feel free to reject or ask me to change somthing.

Pilot Signup

• Name: Kaylid Andrew Ryans
• Gender: Male
• Age: Recently, turned thirteen.
• Race: Human
• Appearance:
  • Kaylid though he is thirteen does stand at a rather scrawny and shrimpish height and build, later onto the puberty track and with a growth spurt definitely needed and likely/hopefully inbound. He stands at the embarrassing for him height of 137cm or 4ft 6 inches tall and only weighs about 70lb or 31.7kg, a low but healthy weight considering his small height but still embarrassing for him till he grows more.
  • Kaylid has rather light in tone skin, pretty unblemished youthful face with undefined childish features which only add to his embarrassment. His wide light blue eyes contrast greatly to his fiery ginger, red hair that is pretty spiky and unkempt though intentionally made to look spiky and larger to try and perhaps cover up his current lack of height. His ears are slightly pointed though not significantly.
  • Kaylid, when off-work or isn't expecting to be piloting casually wears a white and red t-shirt with a black long-sleeved undershirt what overall gives a somewhat baggy appearance and the covering of his arms, is to make him seem even just slightly bigger and not feel so self-conscious about his weak undefined musculature. Oddly he also tends to wear along with it a pair of red shorts since it's his upper body he is more self-conscious about. Image link
• Personality:
  • Kaylid has a incredibly strong sense of right vs wrong, it isn't always correct of course misinterpretation or situations where that doesn't truly exist are a thing in the real world but there is a nativity in youth; this, of course, made much worse for him after his Uncles death, passionately driving him to succeed and protect others from harm. He is pretty restless, never able to really sit still for too long, always wanting something to put his mind to, even if that results in him cleaning/tinkering with his Mecha to idly pass the time so.
  • He is rather insecure, he has never gotten along well with others having a rather quick temper, easy to provoke and fly off the handle as a loose cannon; this has only been brought to a peak right now, while being mentally developed well beyond his years he is physically (and emotionally) still a kid but desperately doesn't want to be viewed as one. Unfortunately this confliction of wanting to be treated more like an adult while physically still having reached puberty means he is very self-conscious of his body as well as not entirely emotionally prepared for the hardships ahead making it perhaps a bit of a Berserk Button if the topic of his size/age is broached in some way he PERCEIVES as negative.
  • He is a smart boy, though, incredibly so despite his various faults physical, emotional or social and one just one that needs a little extra support every now and again, even if he outspokenly claims he doesn't want it.
• Traits/Abilities: No real special abilities, though I suppose that a minor trait is that due to genetic engineering over time on his mother's side of the family, Kaylid has a longer than average predicted lifespan compared to the average human, not really a concern for this game but it is something to note as well as being slight more resistant to heat than most but really insignificant to be called much of a power, he can take really hot shower/baths though.
• Skills: This is where Kaylid shines quite a bit, he is a young prodigy, a bit of a child genius. He is surprisingly skilled despite his inexperience with piloting Mecha, able to hold his despite his overall lack of formal training. Most of his talent comes from a good understanding of how Mecha in general work, both his own and his foes from his true area where he excels which is engineering, nurtured and strengthened by his time helping his, eccentric Uncle the same one who designed the Custom Mecha is his currently piloting, at least to his knowledge.
• Equipment:
  • Well for missions Kaylid would probably be dressed in his pilot suit. A custom fitted protective suit made for him. It both provides some physical protection against injury, is resistant to but certainly not immune to fire and with the helmet can seal airtight to provide an enclosed oxygen system using some abet-optional hyper-density air canisters in the event that say his Mecha is breached in space. It has a built in radio and terminal, a visor that reactively taints based on the intensity of light to provide protection to the wearer's eyes as well as possesses a head-mounted lamp on the helmet for keeping his hands free in the dark. Random extra note, also makes Kaylid seem like he is a couple of inches taller, still, a scrawny babyfaced looking pipsqueak but every little bit of height helps from his perspective. Image link
  • The second thing Kaylid would bring with himself to a mission is his mechas Oran Blaster, its origin is not exactly known but it defiantly isn't of his uncle's construction and it does predate its mechas creation. It is a rather odd non-human seeming designed pistol made out some kind of lightweight metal. Attempts to deconstruct it and scan it have failed. The weapon fires this high-powered burst of energy with a rather considerable impact and recoil, its exact power level does seem somewhat psychoactive with its exact output and resulting impact seemingly affected by the wielders emotional state, sometimes being completely inoperable due to it. To the dismay of many who have tried to take it, it seems to only currently respond to Kaylids commands. Possibly the oddest quality, however, is separate to its rather considerable knockback (Intensified by how light currently Kaylid is) the users seem to report it being physically exhausting to fire, meanwhile having no recharge or ammunition socket making this mysterious but powerful handheld weapon one that is only used sparingly. Image link
• Background:
  • Kaylid was raised on the colony world of Veranas, it is usually a pretty quiet little farming world with small areas of mining. His father died before he was born, serving in the military his ship destroyed by an unknown aggressor while on duty. His mother, a Mariana Newman is a famous actress who constantly travels and therefore left him with her brother/his Uncle Galic Newman who was an engineer/mechanic for one of the major areas of the colony. Kaylid grew up with little to no supervision, his uncle being distant and rather busy. This lack of adult supervision wasn't a large issue for him, though, instead it more encouraged him to learn and take more responsibility than he would otherwise; tinkering with his uncle's tools and equipment when he was out of the workshop.
  • He happily attended school at the start but as things went on he got more and more frustrated with everything, getting maximum marks on his tests very early on. Picking up on everything being taught and any extra work his teachers could present, a genuine prodigy who was brought up the chain to study in upper classes. This continued till about the age of 10 when he sat his high-school exams early and passed with flying colours. Throughout all his schooling career his intelligence was both laughed at by the kids his age as well as from his intellectual peers he studied with. Despite his star performance in school, he was also a troublemaker, powerful temper but small stature resulted in him often getting into more trouble than he could handle.
  • Kaylid before he finished studying at school had already pestered his uncle to let him work with him during his time off, not wanting to spend time with his peers due to the social problems. Once it started Kaylid became almost vital to the shop, in his part-time working away happily and becoming his uncles' apprentice. After leaving school early deciding to just work with his uncle the full time away from the criticism, well except the occasional customer who couldn't say much considering his repairs worked.
  • A few weeks before his thirteenth birthday his home, the whole colony fell under attack by pirates who were vicious and ruthless in their seemingly random pursuit killing his uncle and wrecking much of the colony... This was at least till Kaylid broke into his uncle's safe, took the control console for his Uncles biggest project the Mecha he had secretly been building as well the Orne blaster and started to pilot it in a bit of a panicked rage... Details are not the clearest but it did end with the pirates defeated and Kaylid injured but the victor.
  • It was a while he was in the hospital over the next few weeks, while his mother took a break from her work to see him that he fervently asked to be enrolled in ARMOR, she initially resisted but his fire so similar to his late father's eventually convinced her. Using her influence as a celebrity, his clear skill, and recordings of the fight that were caught as well as giving a significant donation that he was accepted as one of the youngest students to the institution, informing him of this on his thirteen birthday, the same day he got our of the hospital for his injuries. Though he has no desire to have her pay for his time there, Kaylid wanting to earn as much as he can for himself to prove he can; his mother regardless did spend out money on repairing his Mecha as well as buying supplies and the custom fitted and resizeable piloting suit for him among a few other things. Kaylid is just hoping that like he has pretty much always done, that he can keep his Mothers status a secret because the extra complications and hassles it would cause him if people found out would be a major headache for him.

Mecha Signup

• Mecha Name: Dawnstrider
• Appearance: Image link, unfortunately, I don't know how to describe a Mecha that well so I hope the picture alone is enough.
• Mobility: The Mecha is quick, very quick. In its basic mode decently fast on the normal scale for Mechs but when its advance thrusters are activated it is capable of moving very fast from one location to another and as a result delivering heavy impact through fly-by charges with its blades or if needed direct contact. Capable of dodging ranged attacks with ease unless there is a significant numbers advantage to the enemy. It is certainly a Mecha meant for more gorilla warfare style tactics over direct fighting. In addition, the Mecha is capable of adjusting its fins to and adjust in shape to allow for a Jet mode for travelling in atmospheric air conditions with little drag. It can still use its weapons in said form but it is harder to land a direct blow with. The other option it has is similar but also involves sealing its ports and further adjusting its fins and struts to allow itself to perform high-speed underwater maneuvers at the cost that its laser weapons become ineffective due to diffraction.
  It's already very quick speed is only amplified during burst mode.
• Defences:
  • Armouring (Basic): The Mecha is lightly armoured in almost all regards except the lower arms and feet to enable better melee attacks and the central core where the pilot sits and the reactor is located. It is otherwise lighter on armour to allow for less weight. The Mecha is capable of withstanding a small number of decent of direct impacts before being broken in a region and the internal components start to become vulnerable.
  • Environmental protection (Basic): The Mecha was designed with the ability to survive a variety of conditions but notably including high pressure and range in temperature. Such as being able to go deep deep deep into the ocean and function well if needed or into a very hot location, this doubly makes the entire Mecha more resistant to heat based attacks like plasma and lasers due to its ability to diffuse the heat and cool itself
• Weapons:
  • Powerfist (Basic): A close ranged weapon, essentially the Mecha launching its first propelled by thrusters towards the foe which then homing returns to the Mecha afterwards. Not the strongest attack but occasionally useful when out of melee range or when a surprise attack is needed.
  • Dual laser pistols (Advance): The most basic weaponry of the Mecha, stored in compartments on the legs. Firing singular beams of energy, relatively weak but decently accurate medium ranged sidearms. They recharge rather quickly capable of firing a shot a second. They can penetrate weak armour but they are not primary weapons. (Burst) When burst mode is triggered the weapons can fire twice as fast with a much higher power level than before.
  • Beam sabres (Advance): The extensions from the lower arm are capable of generating hot plasma beams that surround the fins and allow them to cut through even heavy armour effectively. These powerful plasma beams are incredibly hot and can burn and can often melt targets they strike. The fins can also be re-angled to allow for a greater degree of control and cutting. (Burst) When burst mode is triggered the blade length increases greatly and the cutting power is boosted by secondary jets of plasma increasing the heat and energy transferred.
  • Missile slots (Basic): The other basic weapon of the craft is the missile slots, though the craft can only store 4 missiles at a time. The good side at least of the missiles is that they can be changed or adjusted when it's in the hangar easily by loading different warheads. Generally, these are always homing unless otherwise stated as being fired manually. Example warheads, of course, include high explosive, corrosive and smoke.
• Equipment/Abilities:
  • In the cockpit of the Mecha is a slot both shaped and sized for the barrel of the Orne Blaster, which when inserted into the craft unlocks its systems and features but this is essentially more of an ignition key than a special power. The Orne blaster does allow one additional feature of the Mecha however, when it is "fired" into the chamber by the pilot the energy activates the crafts Burst Mode increasing energy output greatly, increasing speed, overall power as well as increasing the pilots synchronisation rating with the craft for a short time; much like firing the gun normally however the final result leaves the pilot exhausted and weakened.
  • Long-range sensor array (Basic) The Mecha has a variety of standardised sensors for detecting people and enemies at a long range with a decently good resolution, more the array you might put on a scout over that you would put on a regular combat Mecha but highly effective in space or on the ground.
  • Pilot-Mecha synchronised control system The Mecha and Pilot connect to each other via cables released in the cockpit that attach themselves to the pilot to form neural connections, "two become one" to some degree. Doing this greatly improves reaction times, awareness and accuracy as the pilot can directly use the sensory inputs of the Mech as well as seems to in some way psycho-actively improve (Normally improve at least, a poor pilot mental state could make things worse) the functions of the Mecha. While the Mecha can be piloted manually without such it is generally far weaker, especially due to rapid speeds often making it difficult for most to react and operate in time. At higher levels the effect becomes greater, however, also means impacts against the Mecha might be physically felt by the pilot.
• Personality: As far as anyone is aware there is no sentience or intelligence to the Mecha, but that is actually far from the truth. The Mecha at its core does have a primitive form of intelligence and a rather protective one at that for whoever it recognises is its pilot, hence the reason the Blaster only works for Kaylid and nobody else. '(Though others can pilot the Mecha still just not to its full potential and may not work so well if it is trying to be used against Kaylid.) Who or what this intelligence is that does grow stronger when the blaster is part of it, but it is a mystery but perhaps one that will be explored, though first people just need to discover it's in here in the first place. It should be noted said intelligence doesn't tend to act, perhaps it is what Synchronises for Kaylid but he hasn't noticed such, perhaps his more active intelligence blocking suck out. Though if Kaylid were to fall in critical danger encase of the Mecha, it might assume control of the Mecha, for a short time at least.
• History: The history of the Mecha is actually two stories. The story that Kaylid believes is true and the actual story.
  • To Kaylid's knowledge due to the blueprints and schematics about on the craft that Dawnstrider was built by his uncle with aid of some tech he got from some of his old friends on the planet Horizon. Secretly building it in his spare time in the laboratory under neither his home and workshop that now with his uncles' death passes to him.
  • The reality, however, is far different for, in truth his uncle did not build Dawnstrider, he repaired it from scrap. He found a crash site with it wrecked and ruined deep within one of the planets mines, in a useless state missing half its chassis and armaments, without a pilot, corpse or anything other than the Orne Blaster nearby which was the only thing in pristine condition. His uncle took all of this back over 15 years ago to his workshop and slowly began fixing it up or rebuilding it the best he could, designing new components and taking a guess at how it should have been pre-wreck as well as testing and researching it and its equipment. To little success for the most part, though he was able to use say the blaster he couldn't figure out its construction or exact power source. He did note the drain to the user's stamina, however. Still, the craft and its guns origins are completely unknown, much of its deepest workings still being essentially a Blackbox in design that needs to be figured out.

What's Sandbox is all about ?

Testing new features. Testing old features. Making sure stuff works. Taking chances, making mistakes and getting dirty. No topic. (See sticky post).
