Lost

Earth: gone. Humanity's colonies: gone. The entire empire of the human race obliterated in the Great War. The only people left were those able to escape in their ships, and ran out into the stars. Chased by a hostile alien collection of lifeforms that are out for blood. Running is the only option. Escape is the only possible way to survive.

This is what you know. You are part of the crew of the SS Chronos, a ship that barely managed to make it away from the outer edges of the Milky Way and humanity's last surviving colony. There aren't many with you.

Just hoping to find some people interested in a roleplay about, basically, exploring far from Earth. It will most likely have horror elements, especially isolation.

No interest yet?

I have a character that would be a good fit for this.

I'd love to join this!

If this is still open, i'd join.

Seems interesting enough. Count me in.

[why is this here?]

[poop]

Me too lets start dis awesomeness

also i want this to be a extreme horror that kills off a lot of people

That is one gnarly triple-post, son.

Also, I'd rather not have most of us get killed off. I'd rather go for a Voyager kinda vibe, and just be encountering all sorts of crazy space awesomeness. Character I have in mind would do real well in a fight so I don't really mind combat, but space horror? Bleugh.

well I don't want to have a anime-type roleplay where everyone is being extremely happy. I perfer so rp with something bleak

First up, I kinda hate anime. It's not just happy, it's just too fucking melodramatic in everything it does—this includes when they decide to be bleak and grim, they go stupidly bleak and grim and it just loses me.

I'd prefer something more like Star Trek, where there's unfathomable dangers out there in space, death can happen, but there nonetheless still manages to be a subtly optimistic note underneath the setting.

I've dealt with enough RPers who join darker looking roleplays just to have really moody, brooding characters, and I hate those. They aren't interesting to play with, they aren't interesting to play around, and just... ugh.

Yeah, if this DOES end up being something really dark and bleak, I won't be sticking around for it. I mean yes, the setting for us here is fairly grim, but it's also exciting: we're out on the outer edge of the galaxy, we probably don't even have charts that far out, so while the stakes are high we're also pathfinders in unexplored territory. There are horrible things we could encounter, but there is also all the beauty and wonder of the cosmos before us.

Focusing only on the grim stuff is just as fucking annoying as only focusing on the happy cheerful stuff.

Also interested in this ^^

Since I have enough people interested, I'll create a thread in the Casual Roleplay thread. It'll take me a while, but stay tuned!
