Virgin Space: A Space Opera RP of Power, Profit, and Providence

The year is 2444, and the Human Federation has fallen. Having stood for 84 years as the unified embodiment of people's desire for peace and prosperity, tensions within the member states have caused a civil war of horrific savagery, splintering the Core Worlds of the Terran Sector into anarchy. Planets are blasted, countless people killed, cities burnt, and rage consumes all in an inferno.

This is not our story...at least not yet.

For in the faraway Eliza Sector, barely settled for more than three decades, the end of the Human Federation is greeted with apathy, even celebration; the Core had been neglecting the frontier. They can survive on their own, they think, they don't need Sol telling them what to do. And for a time, they were right; life was better without the Core; their worlds did survive on their own. But as the years passed, the various 'Independent Planets' began to bicker and feud with each other, devolving into war. Not helping was the various pirates, bandits, and deserters from the Terran Sector's 'Warring States' pillaging and plundering wherever they wanted. The entire sector had fallen into anarchy, same as the Core.

You are an individual, trying to make their way amidst the climate of hope gone rotten. Old or young, man or woman, hero, villain, or somewhere in between, you have multiple options, many ways to make a living in this sector. But something is happening, something is happening that would shake things up soon...

Note: This has been edited.

Okay, OOC time. What is this RP? Is this an Open World RP, or a Party-based Game, aka a game where the PCs are in one group?

Well, it used to be a mix of both. Players, at one time could start in multiple places, and have multiple plotlines, but there would still have been (and there still is) a central plot and a central antagonist, and the majority of players would be brought together into one side as the number of options shrink. However, due to the lack of players, it's now just a single-party RP like any other.

That means that the 'villain' faction, the Sphinx Domination (see below) is now locked to Players, unless they request special permission.

Suggestions for a profession in the game:

- Soldier or official of one of the factions.
- Bounty Hunter.
- Trader.
- Mercenary.
- Smuggler.
- Any combination of the above.

Bountyhunter bloke I choose you:



For a TL:DR version, he's basically a fusion of an unwanted Batman and Jango Fett packing a big sword and Judge Dredd's gun who flies around a triangular UFO of a spaceship when needed. I'll edit in more info but what I got is the basic idea at least.

Name: Kain Sheffield

Age: 32

Appearance:



Starting Faction: None, is allied to many.

Skills: Diplomacy, Business, Close Quarters Combat, training with a multitude of firearms and ordnance. Can talk himself out of nearly any situation, and is just as good at manipulating people as he is talking to them. His cybernetic enhancements limit his pain receptors, and can handle about 700 pounds of force, and can put out 130 lbs of force per square inch with his heaviest punch.

Standard Equipment: a custom HAMMRCO .45 hand cannon with a ten round clip and a laser sight, a standard issue HAMMRCO bowie blade, and a personal Cruiser, company-owned.

Gun:

Knife:



Cruiser:



Bio:

He was born into a wealthy family within the cities of Core World-00 to a pair of humans named Lilly and James Sheffield, who were visiting the planet on business. his father owned HAMMRCO, a large arms developing company just shy of the edge of The Society Of Steel's outer limits, as the seclusion provided them with ample opportunity to test out weapons without the need to adhere to and specific group's standards.

Kain, around the age of eleven, decided that he wanted to be like his father, and began looking into business related magazines, and by the age of 25, had taken college classes to earn a master's degree in five different business and science related field. at the age of twenty seven, he took over his father's company, whom had fallen mysteriously, deathly ill.

Within a short five years, the company went galactic, serving and providing a little over 35 planets with weapons for many reasons, whether it to be quelling rebellions, helping rebels win wars, all just to assure their allegiance to his company for his well built weapons, and even the not so well put together ones, simply because it was better than the enemy that the customer had been dealing with. some say that after he took over his father's company, he became lost in power, and went on a conquest, putting to rest nearly all other arms companies except for his rival.

Soon after his 'conquest' ended, he became bored with his current state, and turned to the galactic superpowers for entertainment. he studied each one closely, particularly staying away from the Sphinx Domination. as he watched them bicker amongst themselves, he felt that war would soon break out, and with that war, and ample opportunity to make so many riches from their detriment. so, be began worming his way into politics serving as an adviser for Emperor Mark, Alan's father.

After serving as an adviser to Mark for five years, he resigned his position, as he wished to further his business interests. he had made several 'friends' during this time, throughout the factions. although he didn't particularly fit in any of them as he believed in a capitalistic dictatorship way of life, he created a business following getting his hands into the food producing business, cloth producing ones, and technology producing ones. soon, there wouldn't be a thing he couldn't touch. unfortunately, the larger galactic powers stood in his way, particularly the Sphinx Domination and the Guild of Free Trade. so, he began supplying both with an incredible stock of weaponry.

Name: Ahnciel '074'
Age: appears 16-17 (20ish)


Skills:
- Advanced biomechanical background: machines all have working parts and anatomy is no different. The pluming may change as well as the parts, but taking something apart will certainly give reference to put something back to gether...right?

-Scientific backwards-engineering: Does the working version work? Does math and science explain how it works? Do we have the material and means to replicate the technology's function? I can give you the most compelling eighty-seven percent certainty that you'll ever know. If not, I will make it work!

-Diminutive stature: Where others may be large and imposing, all Lapin are trained to take down larger targets. None of the Fleet's patrons are fully unarmed, and all fight with a makeshift martial arts which is often hit or miss in its potency. Beyond this, the Lapin are more keen on hiding and running than combat; because of this, the warriors of their breed are all the more imposing. The Lapin are trained in free running and stealth takedowns but suffer heavily in actual hand-to-hand combat without the element of surprise. Ahnciel is poorly trained and/or experienced with projectile armaments.

Starting Equipment: An oversized space suit equipped with 12-18 hours of air.
Apollo-Archetype "HexTech" prosthetic arm: Full capabilities of a normal arm as well as a chargeable pulse rifle which charges off of UV light. The blasts bombard targets with condensed UV energy, roasting biological material while leaving technology mostly untouched.
(Subject to change)

Bio: Ahnciel is number 74 of the most recent batch produced by Triganavia before its fall. His existence began more like the rest of his kind with harsh cognitive conditioning to understand anatomy as well as engineering, this has led to a strangely unfair confusion between the two at times, though mostly in the anatomy department.
With the establishment of the Spire, due to the lack of personnel, Ahnciel was mostly responsible for functioning with the team that collectively combined the flagship's control to a central point. While he is knowledgeable of all of the Spire's weak points, it will take quite a bit to get him to talk about it.
Ahnciel was eventually sent off with a small section of the flotilla on a 'reclamation excursion' which ended with the abomination crew going rogue half way into their mission. Frequently beaten and abused, his existence hinged on his usefulness in a particular project with reverse-manufacturing a gauss cannon from a frigate which had cost his section considerable losses. The thought was that his success would make value from the loss...that was until 'No Sky' came to knock.
The technology wasn't yet done and the nameless ship Ahnciel stood as a prisoner to was woefully unequipped to deal with the superior armamentarium that later corrected the damages done to the science officer. The loss of one of his arms and most of his skin repaid, he was loaded as a gift into an otherwise stripped military fighter before being launched deep into the human territory of the Eliza sector with the hope of their cooperation for the sake of transhumanic diplomacy. There are bigger threats on the horizon, and Ahnciel greatly resents the part he was forced to play
