I really like this idea I'm in and I was hoping to have my character be a sibling of another members character with the two having a close connection. Same age, older or younger is cool with me. If anybody is up for that role let me know.

Yay, we can finally have Daryl and Meryl in this RP.

Hi there.

I'm leaving the world very much open to the players to mold to their will. They've helped me create Outremer, so they deserve to be able to play with it to a certain extent. I will however say that i do have a central plot in mind, and if it interests them then they can join me in that. The main plot is overarching, so that as the RP goes on it will become harder and harder to remain neutral and carry on your business; we will all need to pick a side. Some people may run off to Actim and try to bury their head in the sand when things kick off, and that's cool too.

I don't want to give anything away yet because i don't want people to adjust their characters so they are perfectly equipped for the events that will emerge. Trust me though, it's explosive. There may be a crew aspect to the RP, like in the last TSR some of the players were aboard a Sandship called the Hercules. That might happen again but people have a choice of whether they want to participate. I'm also advocating the use of several characters, as long as they are properly documented in the CS's. :)

As for the influx of people, i say the more the merrier. As long as people are mindful of the unspoken rule of RP: 'leave two posts before replying if you're in a group.', there should be no problems. :) I'm also an advocate of a post summary, who its addressing and the use of hiders to tidy things up. Hope that answers your questions.

So formal! I should have a throne or something.

Which one, first or latter?

I personally think the Templar order would play down their existence and have an understated and possibly subterranean headquarter. The Red cross could have a huge amount of small aid centers or hospitals around Babylon.

It's a tricky one Empath. Any one of those could work... Perhaps they decide themselves after their great works period which gender they want to be. However i'm not sure it would add anything to the RP. Perhaps they're snail-like? :D

The Skytower Rebellion

Yeah that sounds okay :)

Since you didn't comment on my question thing I'm going to take it like you're OK with it.

Sorry i must have missed it, which question thing?

Why not use their telepathic techniques for defense or offense as well? Like.. mess with the minds of their opponents? Just a thought~

The defences we discussed could well be partially telepathic!

You know what you could use for that? Take the Snapping Effect of Alpheidae shrimp to a whole new level. Some muscle in the mouth that produces the same effect but projects it?

Good idea, that's the kind of thing we could go for!

Either that or an incredibly low and almost imperceptibly bassy note which might have the same effect. Or both!

Nothing good ever is ;)

Very true :D Like Leonardo Da Vinci once said 'Art is never finished, only abandoned.'

Finished Réunion, go check them out. Finally onto Featured Species!

I'd imagine they live longer than most. If their rite of passage is to do good works, that kind of thing can take half a century. I wouldn't want to put a number on it just yet but i'd say quite a long lifespan.

Genders, no idea. Any biologists in the arena wanna weigh in?

Defense, i was toying with the idea of some kind of sonic boom emitted from the mouth? Designed to stun, disorientate and incapacitate but not necessarily kill.

Perception, I'd say tolerant. Humanity is naturally sceptical of outsiders but the Machine Minds made them free the Tindrel remember? I mean they make themselves useful as a matter of principle. I wouldn't say they'd need to hide their appearance at all. In fact i'd go so far as to say a lot of people like having their helping hand around.

In other news, released a little bit on Actim and corrected all the distances to Babylon.

Wow, nice Bio Skull; i love it! I love all the references, very nice. Accepted without any qualms. It seems you are at home with the politics system already, more so than i am, which is great! I'm sure you'd be better suited to answering related questions than i. Everyone remember where you left your CS or save a copy somewhere, for when i eventually move everything over to an OOC.

I haven't really thought much about the Scyvi yet Empath. :( I tell you what, lets brainstorm. I'll give you what i've already thought up and you guys can chip in any ideas or suggestions? They're few in number, perhaps 10,000 present on the planet in all. As a rule of thumb they're loners, often living in places out of the way of loud noises and other people. If they must live in the big cities (because of profession or other commitments) they like places with natural vegetation or running water; they're fascinated by it. I was also toying with the idea of them having a biological function which allows them to heal other species and themselves to a certain extent. Broken bones, ripped tissue or ruptured organs and arteries etc. Not set in stone though. They're also telepathic, communicating with their kin over vast distances. They'll probably talk to Humans and other species the same as any other though.

The reason they're in Outremer i thought could be that as part of their rite of passage into adulthood they must leave the homeworld and go to another populated world and do good works. This could have social, religious or some other reason for being so. What do you guys think to all that?

Sorry i'm working so slow guys, i just got hit with a massive assignment at work so i'm on overload here. . Bear with me. <3
