Hey, I'm Catharyn! I joined the Roleplayer Guild on 2nd Feb 2011, then rejoined on the 17th Jan 2014 after Guildfall.
I was active every day until late 2015, accruing (i think) around 7k posts across dozens of roleplays. Then, I started working and had to gradually slow down my RP schedule. In 2017, I officially went on hiatus when other commitments got fully in the way of roleplaying.
This continued until the COVID-19 pandemic hit, when I suddenly realised I had a lot more free time in lockdown! So in mid-2020, I returned to the Guild with a vengeance. I also managed to get The Cradle 1x1 off the ground - a story i've had percolating for almost a decade.
My posting schedule has slowed down a bit now that the world has opened up again. I still love science fiction, fantasy and espionage themes, and generally aim for around 300 words per post.

Thank you both, it means a lot to me :) I'm open to all suggestions.
Great! :) Not a problem. Back to work now, in between re-watching the superbowl 
Hehe, that's what i was going for. :)
Seven people are interested, that's reasonable grounds to start an OOC methinks. Everyone feel free to work on a character skelly, i'll put the official CS up soon, but if you fill in everything you want for your character free style we can work on it together.

Certain machine Minds have been sentient for a while now and have gained the same rights as Humankind. The various treatises and agreements are far to complex to go into but most of the machines made by Humanity swear a bond of allegiance to the Babylon council and the city. Their intelligence is rated with numbers, 1.0 is standard human intelligence. Personal assistance droids might have this intelligence. Anything below 1.0 is below average intelligence and is given to combat droids or menial task robots. Intelligences can theoretically go up infinitely but so far the cleverest Intelligence recorded in Babylon is 4555.0.
Intelligence is measured by foresight, planning, logic and reasoning, personality, and number crunching ability. If any of you have read the Culture Series of books, the AI is exactly like the Minds found there.

The closest comparison would be to the Predators from the Alien Franchise. Great, i'm glad you liked it. 
I'm starting work on 'setting the stage'. This'll hopefully tell you all you need to know about where the planet is, what's on the planet and a description of all its features of interest (i'll leave some blank or very mysterious so we can check them out.
Draconilian, in answer to all your questions:
The weapons will be varied, ballistic firearms still exist but are replaced mainly by laser and energy weapons. People in the badlands will likely have swords and melee weapons but i'm not sure i want light sabers kicking around. There are advanced armours which i will go into in more detail soon, made of smart alloys that sense impacts before they happen etc. Artificial Intelligence is a reality. They pilot most of the mechs and control most of Babylon as well as the Fleet. There will be some pilotable mechs but exclusively in the hands of pirates and of a crude design.
There are 5 races, i will go over them soon but just quickly they are:
Humanity - Standard, augmented, genofixed.
Machine Intelligences - created by Humanity, they range from being as dumb as a blue bottle fly to being able to command a starship.
Tindrel - 6 armed bug like creatures, enslaved by Humanity centuries ago but freed under the insistence of Machine lobbying. Most chose to stick with humankind because their homeworld had been glassed and forgotten.
The Scyvi - Long, thin, translucent beings. They number but a rare few on the planet, acting as missionaries to help sick and dying people.
Rahtu - A once proud race, the Rahtu were the indigenous species of Outremer before their cities got destroyed and their numbers decimated by The First Contact wars with Humanity.
Your characters can be almost anything you can think of. The world is a big place, and if you can roleplay well and not be Overpowered i will accept almost anything. :)
Hope this helped! Suggestions, questions and stuff are always welcome.

I feel the need to repost the greatest picture of all time, just so we have it on record again.

Good morning guys I'll elaborate and answer all those questions after work today. This is a reboot from a couple of years ago, Pre-Crash, so i'm in the process of salvaging information from the old thread. It's partially sandbox (the RP zone includes an entire planet), but there is a huge overarching plot and most people i think will want to stick closely to the main city: Babylon.
The roleplay is set over a thousand years in the future, but it doesn't have a strict adherence to chronology. Since the planet is in some senses on the backwaters, some tech is vastly outdated whilst some is very much in keeping with Humanity's general advancements. Don't worry, i'll explain everything later.
