@PerfectThought

Hey, thanks very much! We are still accepting new characters, yes.

Heavily augmented Humans are permissible; Earth and her colonies have no unified rules on that front. You could have specialised brain functions, limbs, sensory equipment and more. It would be relatively expensive, so tour character would need to have a reason for their gear.

AI of a sort also exists, but not the fully sentient, independent kind you might be thinking of. AI is controlled more tightly by Humans who fear anything which could end up being a more perfect version of them. A perfect AI is also very expensive to create and host, so you wouldn't necessarily have mobile versions, especially not hanging around at Spaceports.

In the context of this roleplay, I think the most plausible AI character you could create would be the ship we're riding in itself! You could present as a hologram on the Bridge and control servile droids that do a lot of the work in the service areas. You could potentially leave the ship and move around as long as the signal reaches.

Maybe some simple mechanoid body remotely operated by the ship's AI a la EDI? Engineers can't be arsed to handle clogged shitters.

@Starlance yeah, Elite and I were just thinking that if the ship's AI controlled servile droids in stock on the ship, that would be ok! I've amended my first answer.

I see! Thank you! I'll probably get onto a CS for the ship's AI then! That sounds incredibly interesting! Especially if I have access to drones!

Update: the Jotunheim has now landed on Kanth-Amerek! You can still make a Human character that is part of the crew or one of the people who boarded in the chaos.

I could see how things could be interesting for this character, landing in a place like Kanth-Aremek. I wonder how her background with Medieval history might shape her expectations of the natives?

@Regime Goon

Hey! Thank you for putting so much detail into your new character and for taking my feedback on board. You are accepted Please put your character sheet in the character tab.

Dr Ibarra will be supported by Danny Varen and the rest of the engineering crew on the Jo's FTL drive. Based on what has been written so far, she would either have had to be held up somewhere else on the ship, or somewhere very inconspicuous in the engine room.

Thanks! I would just like to wait a bit so that my character comes in about a day or two after the crash, if that's alright?

If that is how you want to do it, that is fine.

I have updated the story synopsis for 14th March 2023!

On the morning of its maiden voyage in 2296, an exploration vessel called the Jotunheim is attacked at Stavanger spaceport. Its experimental faster-than-light drive is accidentally triggered during the escape, transporting the ship to another dimension. The Jotunheim subsequently crash landed on an uncharted planet called Kanth-Amerek (K-A). Various native citizens of Kanth-Amerek witnessed the crash and came to investigate. After making contact with these locals, the Jotunheim's learned of multiple civilisations on the continent, with technology roughly equivalent to Earth in thr 1500s. However, there was one key difference - some of these natives appeared to have magical abilities, resulting in great societal advancement across some areas.

Understanding the great technological prowess of these 'Sky People', the different parties of natives have begun to splinter.

We are still open to new characters - if you are interested then please feel free to join our discord to discuss ideas:
