Expedition to the Mariana Trench




OOC Briefing


Alright, so, hopefully I didn't lose you with that delightful forged UN exposition document. I'm Grav, and I'm hoping that I got my plot across somewhat decently in my 'multi-media' pitch. If you're interested, we'll be taking a nice little trip to the Mariana Trench as a group of men of science and their crew, and unfortunately for them, their little expedition is going to be met with plenty of challenges, some of them not being what they initially seem. I need about five or six players for this RP before I can start it, and probably couldn't take more than eight, as this is my first time trying to GM for two years. Hopefully I can keep up. I intend for there to be IC posts from people weekly, or bi-weekly at the very least, depending on length or amount of collaboration needed. I completely understand people have lives outside of the Guild, but as long as everyone stays invested in the RP and is involved in the OOC and/or a related Discord channel, I expect this RP will live to its completion. Hope to hear from you all if this is of interest!

I'd like to declare a tentative interest as I too have a couple of active and semi-active RPs and am not sure if I'll have the time. Still I would like to keep an eye on this

I am interested, just a few questions though...

1) Since this is futuristic, what kind of tech can be expected?

2) Can I play a female mechanic/tech nut?

Other than that, I'm really interested.

@ihinka Thank you! I hope you have time to join us, but if not, that's perfectly fine too.

@Drakey Good questions! At the moment, I'm working on a section for that to post in the OOC of the RP, but the advancements that will concern most of our characters is that the IRV Howard has some self-repairing capabilities, but still needs oversight as they don't always kick in until a certain point (it's a twenty year old ship), the CARAPACE suits are not only built to resist pressure but can help to negate fall damage up to a certain amount and have a built in interface that allows for contact with anyone with a smartwatch, smartphone, or much larger device of the same nature (in one of the main rooms of the Howard there will be a table with an interactive holographic map of the sea floor that is based both on past excursions and data sent to it by those investigating the Trench on foot). Medicine has advanced too, but I'm still trying to come up with ways to make these advancements useful without making it so that it negates any sense of danger the player has entirely. And yes, you can absolutely play a mechanic, or anyone into techy things! Anyone who typically has any role aboard a ship is fair game for a character.

@Elgappa If you wanted to make some nod to that story in your CS, either by ways of relation or anything else, that's more than fine by me. We're currently not treating Lovecraft's mythos like everything he's written happened in universe, but I don't mind at all including references to stories here and there!

Also, seeing as we now have enough folks interested, I'll see if I can't get my OOC finished before the end of this week. If all goes well, I should have it up by tomorrow morning (according to EST), but as I have family coming up for the day and then my longest day of classes following, I could see it taking a little longer. Thank you all so much for your interest, and I can't wait to get this started! Also, if you have anymore questions, feel free to ask.

If you find room and don't mind having a new member of this site tag along, I'd like to throw my interest towards this.

Quick Status Update



Sorry for the delay, folks, I've been exhausted and I'm now running up against my self-imposed deadline. About 95% of my OOC is finished, but I still need to fill out events for our timeline before we start. I hope to either finish late tonight, or tomorrow. I just wanted to let you all know I didn't disappear, and that I am still working on getting this RP going in the very near future!
