Bio

New roleplay: https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/189457-the-eye-of-the-needle-where-fantasy-and-sci-fi-collide/ooc

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.

Glad you like it, i deliberated for ages in which direction i wanted to take them. :p The Scyvi (pronounced 'Sigh thee') are a new species to the TSR franchise and i'm looking forward to seeing them in action.
Also added loads to 'Setting the stage', take a look guys! Sorry it doesn't all hang together, i'm collating it from half a dozen different codex' hehe. I also realize for most of your characters you'll need to wait for all the information, so just make informed guesses based on what you know so far.

Also, for anyone interested, this is what The Scyvi look like:


Their species is telepathic, so if one of them is in trouble they all know etc. However there probably aren't more than ten thousand of them in the whole of Outremer. This'll be a hard species to RP because they aren't inherently violent, but they are talented healers.
Great :) Here is the Character Skeleton i used for this Roleplay's last incarnation:

Full Name:
This includes last name and any middle names they might have.
Age:
Any age is acceptable, but it's easy for kid characters to become unrealistic or OP so i'd urge you to steer clear of that. Medicine has contributed to longer life so seeing someone well into their second century (100-200) is not uncommon.
Race:
Choose one from the provided.
Appearance:
You can provide a picture and text or just text on it's own. Make sure to include text though, to describe everything the picture doesn't show.
Personality:
What is your character like? This space can include any behavioral problems or habits your character may possess. The more interesting the better.
History:
What has happened to your character prior to the start of the Roleplay?
Occupation:
What do they do for a living?
Weaponry:
This is optional, aside from BESC standard issue there are thousands of rifles, shotguns and pistols made by the Corporations in the Capitol. So do not worry if you want something different, just post a picture and a quick description followed by the company that manufactured it.
Augments:
Ask me for details concerning augments.
Other:
Anything else i may have forgotten, criminal record, medical condition, vehicles, pets etc.

Feel free to use it how you will, however i don't want anime characters or really short bios. Take pride in your character and make them feel real. I will show you guys what the alien races look like in due time.
I like it :) The police hovercraft looks quite a lot like the picture i have for BESC inforcer vehicles.
Ah okay, i like it. We need people like that to counteract all the scrupulous ones.
Going to bed now, see y'all in the morning. Keep the questions and suggestions coming, i love answering them all.

I'll just leave you with this:
Interesting! What do you mean by inflexible?
That's good, i'd really like people in that faction. It'll have mutated heavily from the Knights Templar of the 12th century. They're still very rich, but the values will be different. Same with the Red Cross, their mission evidently has been lost in translation because helping the needy isn't their priority.
Starting to put down more on 'setting the stage'. Babylon is the main city-state but there are three sister cities. Edessa, Actim and Réunion. They'll mainly be cornucopia cities, providing vital supplies to Babylon. Water, food, ore etc. Things that need space and natural resources.
Hehe, okay. If you want an easy way into the Culture Series, try The Player of Games. They're all by Ian M Banks. If you like that then move onto the meatier Consider Phlebas. I whole heartedly recommend this series to anyone who wants to get the full feel for this RP.

The mood i'm trying to capture is that of excess, oppression and pent up energy. Fast paced Sandship battles coupled with deadly political stand-offs. There'll be blood on both sides.
I'm not fussed. Do you want me to start the OOC? I haven't got all the information down yet, not even close. :(
