Human life, the process of millions of years of successive and random mutations giving rise to modern man, a marvel of natural selection. This process occurred as it always did, but this time it didn't happen on Earth as we know it. Another place, another time, serendipity would have it that a system perfect for life in every way came into being. The plum pearl of Jalaryias' crowing rings of asteroids, barren and inhospitable moons, and seven gardens besides. On one of these gardens, not only did man came about, but others too rose from the primordial depths to the heights of intelligence.

On the other sister gardens, so too did life rise to those heights, seven worlds with many thinking beings in a place where the future held limitless potential. Time passed, the children of these worlds squabbled, not all survived. Yet now another chapter has come about, the dream of traversing the worlds has come true. sister Moons, asteroids and the great mother herself are ripe for harvest and now the united peoples of those seven once separate worlds will come to terms as they race towards it, the endless bounty of space.

Explanation
This RP takes place in an alternate universe where Humans arose in a system dominated by the lone large gas giant of Jalaryia and in tandem with several other species(or not, depends on the player's wishes). The backstory of this RP is intended to be created by the players as they write the history of their nations and species, how did they fight? Why? The stage is set for any number of situations, and only you can decide what may come about!

Regarding Garden Races and Non-Garden Nations
Since the scale of the rp is quite small compared to others, we will of course have a limited number of species native to the Garden Worlds, each of the seven garden worlds can host up to three native species at most, or less depending on the player's wishes.

Once all Garden Worlds have been taken, none-garden players will have various options, from playing as a colony of several varieties, from Space Colonies like those seen in Gundam, Asteroid Colonies, colonial settlements on the barren and environmentally inhospitable moons and even floating Installations within the Gas Giant.

Players may also have the option of playing as nomadic fleets and smaller scale factions(such as pirates, mercenaries, terrorists, etc). The overall downside of course is that non-garden players will not be able to make their own species and will have to choose from the current roster set up by Garden Players.

Rules
1. You are expected to post at least once a week, at most, twice a week if you can manage. Any more and you are liable to burn yourself, and others, out and any less and the RP will move along too slowly. If you do not make a post within two weeks with no prior warning I'll unfortunately have no choice but to drop you from the RP.

2. This is an Advanced RP. I expect correct grammar and spelling in your posts, at the very least. One or two mistakes per post is fine, and expected, but if I see ten “teh”s in your post we will have a problem.

3. Please don’t join if you are going to disappear after one or two posts. I expect a certain level of commitment once you join.

@SigmaNothing solid, but juggling with the ideas of either a socialist (Stalinist) quasi-autocracy of humans, or a terrorist organisation (not sure their policical motivations as of now).

@ONL Ah, interesting :)

If you were to chose the former, you would be the "main" human player, as in having control of their homeworld in the setting. Offworld human groups, factions and such being derived from your nation, either as exiles or whatever else one could think of.

I suppose I shall exhume my technocratic fungoids with a robotics-intensive society to supply for low population growth rates. There is also, if you recall, my idea of ancient vaults infested with various sorts of nasty things, presumably under said fungoids' territory.

This might be the perfect opportunity to finally get off my ass and finish up the Concordat. I'm in.

The question is do I bother making them actually a new species or just an offshoot of humanity.

@Ozerath Hmm, well, for the offshoot route to be possible, they would probably need to share the same homeworld as humanity. Unless @ONL changed his mind, he is possibly going to play play humanity's homeworld.

Although I'm sure something can be arranged. And if not, the second idea for the Concordat is also a good route to take.

@Sigma The core concept of the Concordat, the one fixed point floating around in my head for them is heavy cybernetic augmentation, to the point where they're almost living computers. They disdain their origins and the past in general and look ever onwards to the future of all life. They believe this future is the succesful digitization of consciousness and as a result the ascension of all life into a virtual utopia.

In this context, whether they're a new species or an offshoot, I envision them turning their backs on the garden worlds as relics of the past and instead thrive in high tech artificial habitats all over the system, trying to convince others to join them in a benign but really annoying way.

Basically, it really doesn't matter what their original species is, so I'll work with anybody on their origins.

@Ozerath I like the sound of it, and having thinking about it. I take back what I said, thinking it, all the moons, living and non-living do have an overall connection and it would probably make sense to have an offshoot or two of another species developing on another Garden World.

So the Concordat is ruled by an elected assembly with no leader; does that make it a republic?

@Ozerath Hmm, kinda sounds like one, minus the leading figure of course. Like a Ruling Council type of thing.
