I'm tentatively interested. Is this going to be free as far as plot or is there a story in mind? Either way, I'd like to get back into doing a NRP after probably at least a year. I have two partially fleshed out alien empires/factions that I have been looking for an opportunity to develop further in a RP and I might be able to fit one of them in here depending on the scope/theme you are looking for. I have a few questions if you have answers for them. first, any plot/story details figured out or are you thinking of more going a free for all player driven story? second, any restrictions on empires/factions etc? human factions only? One of the alien empires I have partially fleshed out from another project is a hive mind, would that be alright? third and related to the first, what is the focus here? Is this going to be political with all the players trying to find a way to coexist with relative peace given the variety in cultures/ideologies or the usual issues that cause strife? or, going by the arena tag, is this going to be a game of conquest on a galactic (or whatever) scale? or maybe something else?
