Wow. I'm stunned by these amazing Bios, and without most of the information as well! I love all of them, they all have a place in Babylon.

Pseudoboss, humans haven't really made much progress in that area as a whole. The ideology is that they rely rather more in technology than biology. Hope that helps.

Guyvolk i love your organization contributions, the plight of Machine Intelligence being a very tricky situation. I'll try and clarify. Artificial intelligence has always been on Babylon, the First Fleet was controlled jointly by Human Admirals alongside AI Ship controllers (think Cortana). At this stage these Machines were intentionally kept from being self aware and had only simulations of free-will. Sometime in the centuries following Babylon's creation, new machine minds became sentient and began complaining about the monopoly on Intelligence by Humanity. After some struggles between BESC and botnetted droids, Humanity agreed to make all future Machines capable of free will and independent thought, however they reserved the right to control the expensive and complex manufacturing; To stop Machines building Machines ('how perverse') and growing out of control. The Minds agreed to this, however the second class citizen issue has been raised in the last century or so. That's where your created organizations come in.

There are also different kinds of Mind. They are constructed basically as a giant shimmering brain (The Culture series again), the ones designed to command starships are so large they literally have the craft built around them! The same is true with all Machine related outfitting. Droids equipped with basic reasoning skills have a smaller Mind, around which the robotic case is constructed, en masse.

Does all that make sense?

All of you are accepted, i'll get back to work on giving you all more information.

Hi Siphy! Ladies and Gentlemen, would you please welcome one of TSR's oldest veterans to the arena. He's probably as good at answering questions about Babylon and it's organizations than i am. Let me know if you want me to bring you up to speed on all the updated acronyms etc Siph.

What kind of character are you going for? Or is it a surprise? :D

The Skytower Rebellion

What Xanndros said. Most of the focus will be on the City of Babylon and the desert around it. (The sand pirate domain with shanty towns and huge ruins.) but you can go anywhere you want. I'd advise against starting off miles away to begin with because you might miss out on bits.

We may well head to Edessa or Actim for a spell as a group once i've wrapped a few things up in Babylon but not right away.

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.
