(Name in the works) RP Sign-Up
 

Revamped world of previously semi-started RP sign up

But, this time, I've got a set idea on how to start this (See the Story section). This is important because it keeps me intrested.


General World Info -

It's a big sci-fi/fantasy galaxy (That should be big enough). Many, many worlds, many races, and many forms of government. Most governments are in galatic council, so there is some order in the galaxy. Of course, some governments refuse to be in that council, and there is a large underworld.

(Besides the first sentence, not much of that will really matter)



Mana (This will be important) -

Mana is a major force. Mana is everywhere, and very rarely are their parts of the universe that are not filled with mana (Areas that are not are usually completely void of life, or have been drained by something).

There are three major sources of mana:
1. All organic creatures produce mana.
2. Mana crystals, which gather surrounding mana and condense it.
3. Mana wells, which just spew out mana.

Mana is used to run all technology and magic. For technology, think of mana like it's gas. The machine needs it and uses it to produce what is needed (A very specailized spell). Ex: Space ships' generators' use mana to produce electric spells to run the ships, a beam sword's generator would use mana to produce a beam of heat.

For magic, it's obvious.


Races -

Like last time, sci-fi/fantasy, so anything you think of can work (As long as you aren't making your character overpowered).


Technology -

Again, future, so lots of good stuff.

Note that along with mechanical stuff, magic stuff is used too.


Magic -

Any kind of magic is ok, except time magic and summoning (I just don't like those).

Also, since everyone is a mana producer, almost every person from more 'civilized' races should know some basic magic (Like making a small amount of water to wash hands/face, a heat spell to warm yourself up, a wind spell to have a small breeze in your face on a hot day for a little bit, and so forth. Just small, semi-useful little things).


Story -

This time, there is a story.

All of our characters will be on a space cruise for whatever reason you can think of (The more abstract your character, the better your reason should be). Unfortunatly, something will go wrong and the space cruise will crash. And to make it worse, lots of people are going to die. For X reason, the ship will have to do a random warp-jump. That will lead to crashing on an unknown planet.

Most of the technology is destroyed, and the main 'plot' will be to survive. This is where players can start doing what they like. For instance, some people could leave the main group because of conflicts in how to do things, then try to steal some of the remaining technology so they can survive.


Name -

Also, I need a name for this RP.

I'm thinking something that relates to the survival/rebuilding/escaping/what ever the people might do after crashing would be best.

So, suggest some names.

So don't argue against it.

alright. thats fine

Hmm...I think my guy still fits, just tell me if I need to change anything.

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) A freelance mercenary. Not assassin, mercenary.
'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 t-shirt and jeans. His wrist devices are sleek and extend to just below the curve of his elbow, running on mana crystals (which he keeps one or two extra).
Skills/Abilities: Brutal melee fighter.
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.
Reason To Be on Cruise: After working for a good while, Job finally gets his own vacation.
Possible RP Name: Uhm...I nominate a wordplay on the book "Lord of the Flies".

Name: Sathos
Race: Human with a Gerintic Symbyote
Sex: Male
Age: 36
Reason to be on Cruise: Found Tickets in wreckage of alien ship

Appearance: Around 6' with sandy brown hair. He looks like anyother human less you fail to see his ereathral wings and light blue pupils. He dresses like most other humans with the exception of two cuts in his shirt and jacket on his back for the wings to come out. He wears a white shirt and black jacket. Sometimes he wears sunglasses to mask his eyes when he first meets people (as they tend to creep some humans out).

Items/Equipment: He carries a backpack with him with a few pictures of home and some food.

Occupation: While he was on Earth he works at a ballpark managing ticket sales.

Abilities/Talents: His wings alow him to fly but he can't go too fast as he is human and the G-forces are too much for him to take. Instead he worked on being incredible agile both in the air and on the ground. His wings are also able to help him manuver and shift his weight on the ground easier. His wounds heal faster as a result of the symbyote as well.

Extra: The Gerintic are a race who have no real depth perception about them. They are made mostly of mana and not as much in the physical presense. They are able to fuse with a physical being, but in the process lose concious thought, but granting the host a large amount of power. Because of the lack of presence, Gerintic are able to heal distrubances in what small presence they have quickly, by fusing with a presence, the wounds that the presence recieves are also healed abnormally fast. Thus was the case of a damaged ship with a few of them unfused which crashed into Earth. Sathos and a small group of friends were out on a hike and were nearest to the crashsite when it happened. They walked into the ship and stubled upon what Gerintics remained. Sathos was the first of the group to discover one and touched one of them, casuing the fusion to take place. He was somehow able to keep this a secret by wearing his sunglasses and wearing a jacket to cover his wings. When he went back and explored the ship again, he noticed records detailing a pair of tickets for the cruise. Not wanting them to go to waste, he found a way to contact the agency behind the cruise and they gave him transportation to the port.

Possible titles: Errant Vacation
Methinks thats all, if anything else is needed tell me.

MLA, for one, the Empire is no more (I got rid of it). You can just say he works for some other government.

Secondly, he's on vacation. Why would he be wearing body armor?


Edit -

Bass, no super heroes... There are no super heroes. Your guy would be at the ranks of an average gaurd for some government. Remember, this is sci-fi/fantasy.

Again, cruise. Why would he have a rifle if he is just a guest?

Ok, works 'freelance' as a merc, no armor, brought along his wrist thingies because he's extremely paranoid.

That fix everything?

I probably won't be able to post until next weekend due to house rules, but might I suggest the RP be called "Bad Vacation?"

MLA, nothing wrong now. And just so you know, the wrist things would either run off of your guy's own mana, or mana crystals (If the latter, he might have one or two extra with him).

And he probably shouldn't wear those wrist things (Since I am going to say carrying weapons around on a cruise when you aren't a guard is illegal), but he could still have them in his bags.


Bass, that survival kit is going to be really small (Because you're just cheapingly taking it since as a player, you know what's coming, but character-wise it really makes no sense).

I don't understand the whole hiding his symbotie thing though. Once again, fantasy/sci-fi. It's not like humans are the only race. Some glowing eyes and wings wouldn't really freak people out when he's standing next to a giant worm and some green midgets are behind him.
