Laughing, shooting, smoking, boozing. The personal walker of High Spires was a thing of wonder in the world of decay that was your city, your life, something that stuck onto the psuedo-city of the Cloud like a big bloody bruise from the long forgotten apocalypse. But this little shipwalker, this intact relic of a bygone era was clean of all that. As if it wasn't here for all the brutality of the last 300 years or so. For once, you felt clean. Clean enough to get dirty without concern. You're sure this little hut housed several broken laws within it during this celebration but if someone drops a wallet when noone is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

Not on the official records and all the muscle here was bought. This should of been a big deal, this should of been the night of your life and for the most part it was. Until, well, until the darkness of that damn ship took a hold of it. Some sort of system error. This should of been simple, a straight forward walk around the ship in a full circle back to the secure, personal deck of Hire Spires. Now we're stuck, alone, no signal, no help in the deep unknown. You've barely been here a few hours and already you heard things you wish you didn't.

Loud hisses threatened like snakes from the other side, muffled cries dragging further away and stomping so loud it made the room rattle. Everyone knows that the deep unknown is one of the deadliest places of the ship, but why it is deadly is...well..unknown. But if you want to get home, you're going to have to nurse your hang overs and start looking for a way back. High Spires with two of his escorts went out first, cocky and sure. Only one came back, babbling and covered in blood.

shit.

==================================================================================================================

So, this is a basic test, really.

I've made some, motherufucking, other theatre fiasco in the past but I'm a bit fond of injecting mechanics in them. This RP will be set in a world I made not long ago called drifting future but it didn't get a lot of takers. roleplayerguild.com/topics/190034-dri…

I think that people aren't so into mechanics. So, I'm making a new, shorter RP with way less - if no - mechnics.

So.

If you are interested please help me out, kindred and please pick a number next to your stated interested.

1: I'm interested in playing but with only one key mechnaic in - such as the health mechanic stated in drifting future ooc -

2: I'm ok with the mechanics around things like shopping, trait buying or starter choosing options.

3: I prefer to have absolutely no mechanics of any sort in this RP.

Mix the numbers if you feel it fits your wants -eg: keeping shoping and the health system - 1-2 example.



Story explanation: The party plan was for the shipwalker to walk all around the outer ship hull, effectively going in a full circle back to the private dock. Since the Cloud is absurdly GIGANTIC this is a big deal. But it got stuck far away from society of any sort. High Spires is a celebrity and you were invited to this party where all sorts of debauchery go down, be it through luck, a personal in or you were part of the higher society crowd in some way. The goal will be to survive and hopefully find a way back to some semblance of society/ safety.

All the races in drifting future will be open to play as. Even though they might seem a bit off in a party atmosphere. Ignore the mechanical natures of each race for the moment : eg - discarded augment list -

Obviously, there's a lot to read in drifting future. So, you can just ask me stuff. I won't be ramrod and stiff stoffed about it, kindred. But please do read your races section if nothing else.

I read Drifting Futures. I was very interested. I was all the way down to play in that world. And then I read. "You will be expected to post every three days," and I was all but heartbroken since I can only do a post once a week. If that's the case here, I'm bummed I can't play. If once a week is good with you, I'll reread Drifting Futures and see if I can come up with a character for this one. Let me know, okay?

Impressive genetics, comrade. I mad appreciate you,motherfucking, giving me your report. I did consider that the time limit might be a bit of a anxiety/ tension bomb for some. Do you think you would be cool by any chance with like 5 days? I want to have a bit of a time filter as I've been in a lot of RPs where if people were given too much time they slowly relax on it to the point they lost attention.

Or is that a bit too tight for you to slip in. Not saying I won't consider making it a weekly thing. Just testing the best corridor width in terms of time from the posters perspective.

I work 4 tens. On those days I wake up, I go to work, I come home, I sleep. That is no joke. On the three days I'm off I can post multiple times if need be, but I can only promise once a week. I understand completely if that doesn't work with what you're trying, but I figured I would mention it, since it seemed like you would trying to figure out why people didn't go for Drifting Futures.

@ScreenAcne

PS. What does "impressive genetics" mean?

I might. I'm kind of up in the air with everything right now, kindred. I'll mention you though if my vibes match your times though when I make the RP proper.

shit, it means I mad appreciate you taking the time to post and give me some greater sight into why some people choose flight instead of fight for my RP, my photon persona.

You have my interest, but do you mind a ‘quick guide for stupid people’ to this setting? I have some character ideas but I want to filter it so it makes sense lore wise.

Hello

Looking over the races quickly gave me a couple concept ideas

*An econoid who fused with a dead cyborg and is now this weird mass of flesh and metal. Probably has the body proportions of shrek or something. Basically a walking hulkbuster, resident "big strong guy" and probably has a voice in his head telling him things like "let me die already."

*A discarded suffering from MAS. A fucked up looking motherfucker who fancies himself a "tech priest" who defected from the Old Guard, which probably means they want his head. He attempted to loophole his augmentations in such a way that his MAS is less impactful, to an extent I haven't worked out yet. Probably lives in the labor sector with the metal work union as a repair person.

*A renegade ghost who acts like a glorified mercenary in the Cloud. They do whatever the hell they want and accept payment for reasons no one is really sure about. Most people probably don't even realize they're a ghost because they tend to play tricks on people to avoid anyone looking for them. "I'm just a really lucky econoid who bonded with some armor." or "I'm a discarded with a few hydraulic muscles." That sort of thing. The reason they do things for money is because they're trying to fund some private operation to get off the Cloud and out to god knows where.

Regarding the mechanics im a bit between 2 and 3. I don't mind them as long as it isn't DnD levels of stats and numbers.
