@Liv

Hey, so here are some positions (listed below) I am pretty sure are open. We are completely open to new ideas if you think they will be valuable to the ship. For example we used to have a demolition expert as a role someone made up.

Gunner
Cook
Security Officer
Security Personal

We are completely open to new races and have provided some that you can also use. If you make a new race, we simply ask that you let us know how the race works so we can see how it would fit.

Thanks so much for your interest and can’t wait to see what you come up with! :)

@Liv

Hey, we do have positions open as a few people have left. I’ll try to find an update list for you. If I don’t get it first then I am sure @Jones Sparrow could find it for you! :)

@Starlance

I am in the same position. I’ve never been drunk let alone had a hangover XD

@Scarlet Loup@Esailia

They do have a point! It would be nice to see and I think Jones is out of town

Paragon [inspired by Ready Player One]

This seems pretty interesting! I will keep an eye out and might end up joining :)

@Esailia

I don’t think so? I think @Jones Sparrow is planning to do a time skip but not sure when.

The Marauders (2018)

Hi @Nate1008,

As I have stated before, we do not want to have players creating only villain characters as you will not be able to post often or be a huge part of the story. We have a main villain race and plans ahead. We have no problems with players creating side villains/antagonists for the crew to face but only if they have a main crew member character so they can actually be part of the RP. This is why Jones gave you suggestions the reply before last.

I suggest making "two" characters that are intertwined at that point. The main character that's a part of the crew, and a second one that's an antagonist and related to your main character (for example: Twins, and one of them was infected by a hivemind-like enemy that's trying to go after their sibling, since it feeds on their memory, maybe trying to get revenge on them for abandoning them).@Jones Sparrow

The reason you stated above is exactly why I was skeptical on how the character would be played as the positions open are for crew members.

@Esailia

Thanks for the heads up! Hope everything goes well once the new power supply is in. Take your time and as always, no rush! :)

The Marauders (2018)

Thanks! It was a fun time. Anyhow: I was wondering if I could create an alien character. I have an idea of what it is, but you will need to create a new race too. So, here is the race's information. If you do not approve, I will create a character with the races available.

Si'gel

Information
The Si'gel is a hive collective of humanoid beasts. They construct their colonies under-ground, using a mixture of hardened saliva and stomach acid to create their structures. They build massive under-ground caves, caverns and tunnels. All connecting and interweaving to form their cities and towns. They multiply quickly, and build fast. However: They are quite stupid and weak. Due to their lack of intellect: They have not been able to form new technologies or advance in the ages. They are forever-more: Primal. They cannot build ships, vehicles, weapons and Armour. Instead: They use their natural strengths in evolution to upgrade and advance. They are powerful in their numbers, having millions upon millions of soldiers, workers and drones. They out-number their enemies 6 to 1. They are weak, though. Having only their chitin and flesh to protect them, and with claws and teeth as their only weapons, they are not very effective in battle. Although they cannot build ships, does not mean they cant have them. Queens enter ships before take-off, and attack once it has left orbit. The Queen takes over the ship, spawning brood inside and learning how to pilot it. After some customization's, the Queen has her own ship. Using it to fly to other planets, they colonize and control more systems. Able to withstand harsh conditions, as their home-world (or hell) is harsh and unforgiving. Born on the planet Di'Sathen, the worst planet anyone could possibly think of. The planet does not spin, one side constantly facing the sun, and the dark side never sees day. With no moons and harsh atmosphere, and the planet constantly bombarded by asteroids, the surface is a living hell. The dark side at -261.72 degrees, and the bright side at +16.25 Fahrenheit. The colonies on the hot side have adapted to extreme heat, able to withstand half the temperature on the surface of a star, and the other side adapted to the cold, able to withstand temperatures kilometers bellow zero. The Si'gel are tough survivors, but not very tough fighters. Always under blood-lust due to some failed evolutionary path, they always seek conflict. They wish to take over the universe, not because they want to, but because they must expand. Over-population has always been a problem for them, and because of their blood-lust, they wish to fight for land and territory instead of sharing it. This threat may be a challenge for the Marauders to overcome.

What do you think? I think it needs some tweaks here and there, but please do tell me if its good to go, or needs improvement first. Thanks again!

@Nate1008

Hey @Jones Sparrow, just want to make sure you don’t miss this message.

The Marauders (2018)

Hey, @Nate1008! I'm glad this RP caught your interest, and I'm sorry that I left you waiting!

Everything @Akayaofthemoon said I completely agreed with.

The Crawl give me a creepy "Flood" vibe from Halo haha! Although it'd be interesting to see, they are also somewhat similar to the "Dread" characters Akaya and I created as the main antagonists of the RP.

Also, creating an antagonist villain would be difficult for pacing. There will be times where the crew isn't in immediate danger, like right now, and having that character put in would either force us to rush through character development moments, or having your character wait to post again.

I'm not opposed to another challenge for the Marauders, but I think the Crawl would be difficult to balance with what's going on, you know?

I suggest making "two" characters that are intertwined at that point. The main character that's a part of the crew, and a second one that's an antagonist and related to your main character (for example: Twins, and one of them was infected by a hivemind-like enemy that's trying to go after their sibling, since it feeds on their memory, maybe trying to get revenge on them for abandoning them).

Again, I don't wanna shut down your idea, but it's just not the direction Akaya and I wanna go with

This was our GM reply. You were mentioned but I know how messages/notifications can be missed, especially when it gets busy in real life. Hope you had nice travels and vacation!
