[/color] [/indent] [/hider] [hider=Race Information] [color=808080] [indent] The story unfolds in the vast expanse of "Ecoven," amidst a diverse array of sentient life that extends far beyond the confines of the human experience. Players are encouraged to step outside of their comfort zone and embrace the extraordinary tapestry of the unknown. From humans to mysterious extraterrestrial entities, the universe is home to a diverse range of alien races, each with distinct characteristics, cultural nuances, and advanced technologies. Participants in this immersive role-playing experience can inhabit the resilience of humanity, the ethereal elegance of celestial beings, or the enigmatic essence of undiscovered species. The narrative gains depth through the intricate interactions among these various races, which contribute to the dynamic and unpredictable nature of the "Ecoven" universe, set against a backdrop of intergalactic dynamics, alliances, and conflicts. It's an infinite playground where characters from all walks of life contribute unique stories and pivotal roles to the unfolding cosmic saga. [b]Notes[/b] - If your character is from an alien race, include as much information as possible in their biograph or create a hider that better explains the race as a whole. - If you are going to use a pre-made race, you may link a race from a sci-fi or similar theme. - The GM will review all races and either approve or deny them. [/indent] [/color] [/hider] [hider=Insight on Technology] [indent] [color=808080] Ecoven has a wide range of technology, and here are some of the more advanced levels of technology that characters may come across, hear about, or understand for themselves. [b]Interstellar Exploration[/b] Spacecrafts with lifeforms inside can travel between star systems using advanced propulsion systems, such as warp drives, hyper lanes, or wormholes, for efficient and rapid exploration of the cosmos. [b]Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics[/b] Advanced robotic technologies coexist with highly sophisticated artificial intelligence capable of complex problem-solving, learning, and adaptation. Androids, drones, and sentient machines all play important roles in society. [b]Energy Sources[/b] Civilizations are powered by revolutionary energy sources such as zero-point energy, antimatter reactors, and advanced fusion. These sources provide abundant and sustainable energy for planetary and space applications.

[b]Environmental Manipulation[/b] Climate manipulation, terraforming, and atmospheric engineering, among other technologies capable of controlling and modifying planetary environments, are being used for colonization and resource utilization. [b]Megastructures[/b] The ability to harness and manipulate the resources of entire star systems is demonstrated by the construction of colossal structures such as Dyson spheres, orbital habitats, and ring-worlds. [/color] [/indent] [/hider] [hr] [hider=OOC Rules] [indent] [color=808080] 1. [b]Follow already established community guidelines[/b] 2. [b]Respect[/b] Treat other players with respect and courtesy. If conflicts arise, address them calmly and maturely. Seek resolution through private messages or the help of the GM. 3. [b]Consent and Communication[/b] Always seek and obtain consent from other players before involving their characters in significant or potentially sensitive storylines. Respect boundaries. Maintain open and clear communication with fellow players. Discuss expectations, preferences, and potential issues to prevent misunderstandings. 4. [b]No Metagaming[/b] Avoid using out-of-character knowledge to influence in-character decisions. Separate player knowledge from character knowledge to maintain the integrity of the story. 5. [b]Respect Posting Order[/b] There will be no set posting order, but please allow at least one PC or NPC post in between each one. [/color] [/indent] [/hider] [hider=IC Guidelines] [color=808080] 1. [b]Respect the Setting[/b] Adhere to the established lore and setting of the roleplay. Avoid introducing elements that contradict the established world unless discussed and agreed upon with the group. Include GM approval for any updates to a character's biography or introducing new elements into the role-play. 2. [b]No Auto-Hitting or God-Modding[/b] Avoid controlling the outcomes of actions involving other characters. Allow for uncertainties and allow players the opportunity to respond. 3. [b]Consequences of Actions[/b] Acknowledge the consequences of your character's actions, whether positive or negative. This adds realism and depth to the unfolding story. 4. [b]No Power Gaming[/b] Avoid controlling other players' characters, overpowering your character without justification, or attempting to "win" at the expense of others' enjoyment. [/color] [/hider] [hr] [hider=Character Biography Guidelines] [indent] [color=808080] There will always be more things that people want to add or change for their character(s). When it comes to taking things out versus putting things in, I'll start with a warning: if you've already established something in character (especially with other PCs), you may not take it out of the role-play. Characters will be able to learn new things and gain new knowledge through academic investments, learning from another character, or whatever is discussed and approved by the GM. This means that your character can gain additional skills. New skills will not be "given" to characters, but rather earned by them as the story progresses. Character sheets are not required to be set up in any way, but they should include the following elements: - Name - Race - Physical description (with or without a visual reference) - Other basics are optional - Role Description A character role description describes what and who your character is. What are they up to with the crew? Do they know anything or were they duped? Are they undergoing training? How can they help or benefit the rest of the group? Perhaps they aren't and will never be truly beneficial. - A little about them Give us a brief description of this person's personality. Do they have a preference? What languages do they understand? What would most people notice them doing if they weren't obligated to do anything? A general description of their personality and quirks. - Racial Abilities and Descriptions Describe your extraterrestrial life form here if you're playing one. What can they or cannot they do? Are they more powerful than a regular human? Can they breathe oxygen? Add their abilities, effects, and what problems it causes them. If you're playing a regular human or a humanoid (cyborg), you can still fill in this section by explaining allergens, fears, or what they're good at aside from their role skills! - Everything else is entirely optional. In the character biography, include the most important and well-known facts about your character. For example, if they attended a flight academy or a four-year engineering university. A lot will be revealed IC, so not everything needs to be said in the character biography. [/color] [/indent] [/hider] [hr] [hider=Beginning Concept for the Crew] [color=808080] [indent] [b]What is the plan for this roleplay? [/b] This will be a small to big group role-play with easy access to leave and rejoin, allowing for a continuous journey. Crews, like missions and stakes, can change at any time! The role-play will take place in a futuristic sci-fi setting that will allow the crew to travel through space. Individuals will be able to put planets, species, races, and more into the universe with admin approval to keep the engagement of this role-play in and out of character! [b]The idea of what the crew will be!?[/b] With the "leader" or "captain" or whatever title one would like to give Kalrith Soreden, every member of the crew will find themselves in a difficult situation. It's possible that this man deceived you, prevailed, gambled you into debt under him, or you freely chose to sign the contract he offered you. When it comes to earning money, he is renowned for paying the highest rates. In contrast to other businessmen who essentially turn you into a slave. Even though he may not be superior, he always keeps his word and pays five times the rate of anyone else. How did you become a member of this man's crew and a part of his twisted game of work? Following the signing of the contract, your first mission may have felt like hitting a brick wall because you realized you made a mistake with the small signature you provided, or it may be your first mission altogether. How long have you been controlled by the man referred to as the "Devil"? [/indent] [/color] [/hider]
