RP Sign-Up/Dicussion
 

The RP -

This is going to be a fantasy and sci fi mix.

Mana is everywhere, but to be gathered and be effectively used, certain machines need to be mage, or specialized people (Not really specialized though since they are just magic users). When used for machines, think of it as gas. Organic things tend to 'make' their own mana, which is needed to live (Don't ask why, I have no reason).

Everything is fueled by mana. Example, space ships' generators use mana to produce electricity which runs the parts. So a leecher (A person who specialized in absorbing mana) could drain the generators and stop a space ship, and then a mage could give the ship a jump start.

Lasers and such are also mana based. Example, a light saber's hilt would use mana to produce a magical blade of heat. Another example, a mage could make a magic barrier on their arm to stop the blade, but the heat would go through their barrier.

As for the universe in general, think Star Wars, add in some fantasy, replace the Force with Mana, replace Jedis with a shit load of other things (And then keep the Jedis), the Empire is good (And humans control almost everything).


Races -

It's a big, fantasy/sci fi world, everything is here. Just pick a race, and as long as I don't hate it, you can probably keep it. Some one could be a Glorff, while the person next to them is dwarf.

Also, just because I am 90% certain this will come up, cybrog parts do use mana, so any mage with cyborg parts is weaker then a normal person. Also, cyborg parts can look perfectly human, except by law all legally installed cyborg parts have to have an obvious sign that they are robotic (Like an eye would have to be all blue, or an arm would have to have a giant tattoo of a cybernetic corporation on it). Also, legally 60% of the body is the limit of cyborg parts, and 75% will result in the persons death (Lack of mana, it's needed to live, think of it as life force).


Edit - To get the mana that the cyborg parts need, it takes it from the person it's a part of. Living things make their own mana, and need it to live. To much stuff and you die.

As for what cyborg parts can do, eyes can have all sorts of modes of vision, skin can become cloaking (But would drain you of mana so you can't stay like that for a long time, and it looks Predator-like), can contain weapons (Mana drain per shot/use if it's not just a metal blade or something), superior strength, and so forth.


Weapons -

No bullets (Because they make this harder).

Also, most non-mana based weapons (Like a normal sword) are worthless for the most part. Same reason why they are worthless in Star Wars, there's much better stuff out there, and it's easy to counter.


Technology -

Future, moving on.


Magic -

Just think of some sort of force that isn't a guy swinging a weapon, and it's magic.


Main forces -

The Empire (Until I get a better name). A 85% human controlled government which controls most of the universe (Not complete, utter control though, just they are technically in charge).

Underworld/Black market, which is just all the trash of the universe in general.


Story -

Depends on what the characters submitted are, and from then on I will GM a basic outline that the players affect (I've got some ideas in mind, but I prefer that the characters drive the plot, not the other way around).



As you can see, this is very vague besides a few things I've mentioned (Like cybrogs). It's vague because that is how I want it to be. If there are any character ideas you have had that are not idiotic, this is probably the place you can use them.

All characters submitted have to be approved by me though, and all revisions will be made through PMs (So only things posted in the thread are first drafts and final version).


Character bio:

Name:
Sex: (If there is one)
Age:
Race: (Unless you are human, I need at least a couple of sentences describing it.
Example - Humans, average in all aspects like strength and magic. Since they have short natural life spans, they are very good at adapting and using the ideas/technology from all races and mixing them together)
Job: (What your character does, like bounty hunter or dish washer)
'Class': (How your character fights, again, some describing sentences.
Example - Jedi, a warrior who is trained to be a superior sword fighter with a light saber. Besides that, most of their skills come from telekinetic pushes to aid jumping, running, or just pushing something. Other mental powers such as mind domination and pre-cognition)
Appearance:
Extra: (Anything else).

If you feel like it, add in some extra categories instead of just putting all of the extra info in Extra. Examples, background information, personality, equipment (If you don't feel like adding it in appearance).

Why not. I need to get back into roleplaying.

Name: Tenn.
Sex: Female.
Age: Unknown.
Race: Human/cyborg. (Cyborg parts are her eye and right arm. A slight brain augmentation as to make her accept her orders and to allow extra speed for her robotic eye.)
Job: Navigator.
'Class': Defender.
Appearance: A small woman, about 5feet tall, with one normal blue human eye and the other a single red orb. Her skin is very pale, so much so that you can see the pulsing veins beneath it. She wears a simple outfit made out of synthetic material, of a white shade with silver cuffs and belt. Her hair is very short and a dark brown, messed up. Her right hand has four socket like holes in the top.
Extra: A peace loving person. She doesn't speak very much and accepts orders from her superiors without question.

Anything out of place/needed to add, just enquire.

I got to much into the vague theme it seems. I don't care if all you want to be known about your character is the name, but I want all the info and specifics (Via PMs if it's supposed to be secret). Those let me know if you are god modding, what role your character can be, and it makes sure you don't start making up things at random points in the RP.

Not to be mean, but let's use part RaiRai's character as an example.

For her race, it's fine that she only put Human/Cyborg, but then I would want a PM of what her cyborg parts are.

Same with class, I don't really know what a Defender is supposed to be. I think this might be more of how RaiRai RPs (Based on the RPs she has started), where fighting isn't that important of a aspect, if it's even there.


More RP related stuff, I like fighting. Fighting brings quick, easy conflict, some action, and it's a real easy way to see who should be in and who shouldn't (God modders, people who like to take control, other bad things). Of course, not everything will be fighting (Because then it gets boring and repetitive, and so far many RPs have been centered around lots of fighting).

Even though my record for signing up for RPs like this is very inconsistent, I'll try anyway.

Name: Vars Kaslerr
Sex: Male
Age: 34
Race: Kothanni: A relative of the peaceful Bothan race, the Kothanni are few in number but very deadly. A race of master criminals, they have the bodies of humans, but have sleek, black fur over their skin. They have enhanced senses as well as large claws in place of fingernails. They're barbaric and brutal,commonly wearing light, flexible black armor that is resistant to laser fire. Kothanni also have an ability to leap extraordinary distances, and their claws allow them to cling to walls. Because of this the wear fingerless gloves and toeless footwear. Kothanni have much less endurance than humans, and are knocked back by even weak lasers. They also slightly dumber than humans.
Job: Bounty Hunter/Galactic Criminal
'Class': Infiltrator- Skilled marksmen, powerful hand to hand combatants, and cunning thieves, infiltrators typically use lasers and blades to attack, striking unpredictably and without warning. Like Jedi, Infiltrators are skilled at getting out of tight situations through bluffs, bribery, or force. Unlike the Jedi, however, They will never hesitate to shoot on sight. Infiltrators are commonly criminals and mercenaries, paid to steal, kill, and, their favorite, break and enter.
Appearance: A large Kothanni (6'5," 221 pounds), Vars has no cybernetic limbs.

Name: Jack Rendili

Sex: Male

Age: 28

Race: Human

Job: in his words, "galactic Equalizer of Profit". In legal terms, He's a Pirate. specifically, he pirates cargo ships and sells the contents at a 20% markup, then spreads the wealth around on Marauder Home.

'Class': Mage Blade. Blends physical attacks with magic for a formidable combination.

Appearance: 6'5". Black Spiky hair, lightly tanned caucasian skin. Green eyes. his left arm is Cybernetic, with the blue-white Diamond logo of Mirage Cybernetics industry between the shoulder and elbow. his Right arm has a tatoo of a lime-colored 9mm pistol with the words "Green Piece". he has Black jeans, steel-toed boots, a dark grey short sleeve shirt and black fatigues. he has black fingerless Spacer's gloves and a pair of wielding goggles.

Extra: Formerly an Imperial Border Patrol captain, Jack (and most of his crew) decided, after their third leave in a row was cancelled, that the legal side of the spectrum was not for them. Making off with their ship, the Assault corvette Relentless (which they later renamed the Trickster's Prank), they went off and made their way through the less unsavory side of the galaxy. smuggling, piracy, and generally thumbing their nose at authority, they stumbled upon the deep-space station of Marauder Home, a haven for those who decided that they'd be better off without the government's "Incessant meddling", as they put it.

Notes:

Trickster's prank: a Hammerhead class Assault Corvette. the name comes from the distinctive hammerhead shaped forward section. the Primary hull has a cross-section of a squashed Hexagon. it has four heavy engines for chasing smuggling ships, and two forward sweeping "Wings" with ovoid pods on each tip, which will create a cone-shaped field that will pull most ships out of a jump. the Hammerhead section has four forward facing heavy laser cannons, two missile launchers, and a pair of tractor beams on each tip of the Hammerhead. the hull between the engines and the Hammerhead have 12 medium laser cannons arranged in rows of three . . . say you're facing the prank head on, with a compass superimposed over it, and the top facing north. the rows point backwards, with one row at NW, NE, SW and SE. in the aft section, there are two MDP (mana Disruption pulse) cannons (used to shut down ships rather than destroy them), one dorsal and one ventral. finally, at the aft end of the hull, spaced equally between the four engines, there's one medium laser cannon and a mine launcher loaded with Sonic mines (See Star Wars Episode two, they're the things jango tries to blow up Obi Wan with in the asteroid field).


Marauder Home: a beta class space station. it consists of a habitation globe surrounded by 3 wide spaced concentric docking rings. the Globe's "North" half is a city scape, the Dome's "South" half is rural. the habitation spans the surface of it, protected by a 10 meter thick Transparisteel wall. an artificial, miniature "Star" supplies light and heat to the habitat sphere. the outer rings are classified as such: Alpha Ring, the innermost ring, which has berths fitted for light and medium freighters. Beta Ring, the mid ring, is fitted for corvettes and carracks. Gamma Ring, the outmost one, is fitted for Heavy freighters up to capital ships. Gamma Ring also houses the Station's realspace and Jump engines. the entire station has high power energy shields.



jack's Weapons:

jack, when on a planet or station, is armed with an energy pistol and a Lightsaber. the Lightsaber has a black core and amethyst fringes. in battle situations, he uses a laser rifle.

Magic:

can enchant weapons to be more powerful, and can recharge mana sources in an emergency.


I do hope this is specific enough. the ship and MH aren't going to be major things, so don't worry about it much.

Name: Job (like the synonym for work, not Joe-b)
Sex: Male
Age: 20's
Race: Krakos- Think Lizard from Spiderman, except ditch the tail, and make the scales more like camo. The Krakos can stand on two feet, but the warriors (including Job) can manipulate their spines to go four legged, which allows for the obvious speed and strength boost, plus wall climbing, but then they can't use guns or any other weapons. (Adapting for this world) The Krakos can regenerate, but they use up their mana, so its usually for when they got hurt but aren't in battle. Krakos can only regenerate their natural mana in direct sunlight. Live to around 100.
Job: (If allowed) An mercenary for the Empire
'Class': Merc- A close combat merc, prefers to use two wrist devices (makes things like 'blades' about police-baton length, except they cut, and various other close range tools, like shields or whatever) instead of the Empire-issued guns. Has above-Human strength and reflexes, so he's a natural born brawler.
Appearance: Erm...Well, the Lizard with darker scales - tail. Wears a body-fitting suit issued by the Empire, doesn't hinder movement and provides some protection to melee attacks. His wrist devices are sleek and extend to just below the curve of his elbow.
Extra: Lessee...melee fighter, can regenerate by meditating for awhile (nothing big like a limb, just bruises and cuts), works for the Empire...thats all there is. Will make changes when need be.

Name:wyea

Appearance:short Elfish apperence. green eyes, tanned skin.
Magic:none(my bro just told me that they dont have any)

Name: S. Cythe (Cythe for short)
Sex: male
Age: 120
Race: Guverian. The guverians look like normal humans ,accept for the hawk like wings that protrude from their back, and the sharp talons on their feet. They excell in magic ,but most of them aren't very skilled in using tech. They are slightly weaker than humans but make up for it with excellent magic casting skills.

Job: Criminal ,with a huge bounty on his head.

Class: Arcanic mage (heavy black magic, and a few basic cure spells) and carries a short lightsaber

Equipment: A short lightsaber and red robes.

magic:
Magic missile.
Shadow steal (the persons shadow turns into a living thing and attacks the person).
Shadow shield (puts a powerful barrier around Cythe for 2 minutes max). Fireball.
Water summon (water erupts from the earth and drowns Cythe's enemy, unless they can get out of it.)
Seduce (a beautiful woman appears and lures men away to their doom).
Earth's fury (hundreds of stone spikes erupt from the ground into Cythe's enemies, this leaves him very tired and he can't cast spells for a while.)

Hi IHMN long time no see. Don't worry I have been away perfecting my skills. So this seems like a good RP I am in if you do not mind.

Name: Drake Renguard
Sex: male
Age: 29
Race: part Saiyan (I will PM you changes I made to make this race fair)- A warrior race of a forgotten planet. They have a natural thirst for battle and they can transform into 1 higher level, however it drains them and they can only hold that state for a short time.
Job: CEO of the technology company Giga-Corp
'Class': Although he can operate almost any weapon he has limited himself to using raw mana (though does conceal a sword). Preferring to use his own skills over the power of weapons.
Appearance: His hair is short and black, naturally spiked. He wears wire frame glasses. They are not needed but he still wears them for appearance. He is about 5'11 and weights 180lbs, mostly muscle. He wears a white button down shirt and tie with black dress pants. His shoes are a plain black.
Back story: At a young age Drake was a skilled businessman. He quickly became one of the riches person in the galaxy. However his heart was not entirely in his work. He yearned for combat. To fight in the epic battles, to hunt bounties, to destroy opponents. He decided to abandon his former career and leave it in the hands of the committee. Now with his companies backing he travels the galaxy picking fights with who ever he can.
Extra: He is fun loving and at times even abit childish. Though he gets serious when need arises. His view of death expresses his mixed heritage. Although he isn't that found of killing he has no reserves and if it is the best course of action he will kill a foe without a second thought.

Umm...if this RP allows Saiyans...*shivers*...
