Damn. Read through the thread only to finish with that second to last post on the other page. Haha, what a shame. Oh well, I will say that I enjoyed the the premise and the focus on narrative as opposed to gaming, so feel free to let me know if/when you try throwing something like this up again in the future!

Still here and willing to participate, my apologies about the delay.

I admit I had troubles with getting a decent character concept and that was part of why I'm taking so long, but also I've started a new job that is really complicated with what feels like an almost vertical learning curve - so I haven't had the usual time or energy.

That being said I do have a character now in mind and am still very willing to continue writing my CS up if you guys @POOHEAD189@Bishop@Jbcool@Canoli are also wanting too?

I feel there is just far too much potential to let this one die before it is even born.

If you're willing to wait until after my little brother's wedding this Saturday, I am willing to continue.

You lot are a hard bunch to say no to...but just knowing that you intend to continue is enough for me, I cannot abide disappearing players, at least not unless they tell me that they're intending to disappear.

Okay excellent, well I've got my CS mostly written up - just need to flesh it out and add some fine tuning. At the moment it kind of reads a little like a long bio, but I've tried to add in bits of lore and things I'll need to work on as well.

A few follow up questions to what I've got so far if you will.

Do we have any specific time frames for this Valnaur conflict, or specifically how long ago did it end? I was imagining several years maybe? Short enough that there are still lots of veterans about? Or long ago enough that younger folks don't remember it or weren't born yet?

Did we have any kind of name for this confederate alliance of human systems? Assuming we want something better than the Confederated Systems or anything like that?

How about currency? I'm again guessing that we don't want some kind of universal 'credit' or anything quite like that? I mean maybe one or two big currencies and then lots of other ones? Maybe some very valuable resource (beyond the usual space booty anyway)?

I'm almost finished, worry not.

My CS will put @Bishop to shame! (I jest, I joke)

Looking good, Gatto, looking very good; I'll try to get more details in for the confederated city-planets as we go, as well as answering the questions you asked. Generally you answered your own questions, so not too bad I.E. There is no real standard currency, bartering is the usual 'currency', although the Valnaur do have a currecny that is quite widely circulated (they are the biggest after all).

The time-span would be relative to the Greco-Persian and Peloponnesian War, so a space of roughly 49 years between end and beginning. There would be veterans from the last big war still alive, and indeed it would be the main reason why there are now so many mercenaries floating about the place looking for work after the peace agreement.

@JbcoolIs the Valnaur Empire a human faction? Can I get a few details about the previous war? Anything on your mind, I suppose. Also, I was thinking of making my Quartermaster from humble origins, but grows up to be a gruff gunslinger, turned lawman, who fought for his planet in the war. It destroyed his planet, so he became a merc and weapon expert.

The Valnaur themselves are actually not Human, but because of the size of their Empire - especially on the Eastern fringe/border - they do encompass former Human colonies, as well as a large number of differing races/species/places the further West you travel. The Empire is vast and currently isolationist, well maintained and, in spite of the propaganda, housing many honourable and 'good' peoples; as such there are varying levels of technology and the like. Beyond the Empires Westernmost borders are actually further and little-known species and territories, their realms kept pretty closed due to a lack of gateways into their space, the rest blocked off by spacial disturbances along a linear formation (like a range of big 'space mountains' basically).

I'll get to writing a bit about the previous war today, and I'll post it up by tonight.

As for the character idea, why would a gunslinger-turned-lawman then decide to count supplies for a living? Did he have former training in that arena growing up? How is a Quartermaster now a weapons expert? I suppose it would make sense, in a way, for him to befamiliar with different weapons - do you mean he knows them, or he's proficient in their use?

Lastly...why the destroyed planet? I'm not against it, but is there any reason why his planet would be destroyed? Did they piss the Valnaur off a great deal or something?

@Jbcool By 'destroyed' I didn't mean a deathstar boom. More like ravaged to the point of living there being a bad idea. Also I was thinking of making him a veteran combatant. Years of being a lawman and special weapons soldier in the military, he made it his business to know weapons. Their use, disassembling them, and knowing when/how they are useful.

Also, should be done with him within the next few days.

Looking good, guys! Still a wee bit confused as to how Virgil is a 'quartermaster' - not sure from his background how he'd be able to work out the supplies and logistics for a merc company. That's my only gripe, and it's a minor one really.

@Canoli@Jeyma If you two are still about and willing, then I'd accept sheets from you.

@IrishAngelQueen I assume you mean a linguistically occurring mutant (although 'mutant' would be odd in this setting...perhaps 'alien'?) If not then it's fine, and I'd be happy to take a look at the sheet.

I think I could create an alien race to fit my idea for my character.
