Yeah, lots of similarities between them after I rechecked up on the guy. Specifically in terms of being a thing trapped in a suit and such after an accident with reliance on gasses.

I've been debating whether or not to get involved... Perhaps I'm foolish.

If you aren't looking for this sort of character, I get it. If anyone knows the inspiration, I'll be very impressed with how niche you are.


There are some minor issue regarding continuity that we can work out in a bit, but my bigger issue is that the app doesn't quite address what this character's deal is. What's their motivation exactly? What's do you see yourself possibly writing this character as or for? I'm not asking you to solidify on a character arc out of the gate, but I don't see a narrative hook, either personally or with the group.

His motivation is survival. Learning to survive in an alien environment. Finding a place and a role that he can survive in long term.

I don't think it would have normal motivations because it's not like it really has a family or a set lifespan. I think his point is more the accrual of knowledge and skills and the maintenance of his life support equipment in a hazardous environment. TBH I fully envision him being killed in combat/due to a freak accident because those are the only things that will actually end his wandering. What other motivation could a new spontaneously formed consciousness have? He doesn't really know enough to have anything more specific than survival. Maybe if he has the chance he will develop loyalties towards other characters that will serve as a driver higher than basic survival.

All accepted!

We aren't going to be accepting any more 'special' characters at this point (unless we already know you are working on one).

Ohh, this looks neat! Was Farscape an inspiration or is it just a co-incidence? You certainly have my interest! I do have a question for making a character. Are minor cybernetics allowed? I have an idea for a character, and it involves him having a neural assistant cybernetic and a mechanical leg.

Farscape was an inspiration for the original thread back in the day, as a matter of fact. (:

I don't have an issue with minor cybernetics, but I'm more concerned about what a neural assistant cybernetic entails. We can talk on the discord if you would like, or we can stick to the forum.

With neural cybernetic, the concept of it is like a sort of assistant implant in his head to help overcome brain damage, so to speak. The idea was that he got into a terrible accident at one point that left him damaged enough that he had to get an implant in his mind to act as a replacement for the part of his brain that was damaged. It's also why he has a mechanical leg, because the accident also left him needing amputation in his right leg. It doesn't give him anything that's more of an advantage over anyone purely organic, but rather simply exists for flavour.

Righto. Sounds good to me. I was just afraid you'd be plugging an AI into this guy's brain.

Nope! The only AI-like thing you'd find here is my writing style, according to some! Though I still don't understand why folks keep claiming I 'write like an AI'

I'd love to get into this! I was a little unsure of some details when writing him out. Feedback/criticism is gladly accepted.

IDK if there's a discord or some such but I'm only available for contact on here.

The main issue is that the Command only started irreparably falling apart maybe about 20ish years ago. I got dates mixed up when I said 30ish earlier. But Kiellar raiders and freebooters would have been active well before 200 years. They'd be under the AKR or the Command, or just those of a piratical persuasion.

As I said, its merely minor continuity issues.

@Lord Frostecs

Not a big problem, but generally we put the characters in the OOC first then move to the character sheet once they are formally accepted. I had missed your application until Bing pointed it out.

So we had a little chat about the character in the background. Generally he's fine, but we'd like you to scrap the brain implant. There is a bit of background lore about tissue regeneration being used in the setting so having some kind of experimental stem cell treatment would fit better. Otherwise all good!

BTW do we have any more apps in the pipeline from folks not on the Discord?
