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.

@Conscripts The character is provisionally accepted, but like you said the last paragraph and your relationship to Mahan could be subject to change. Nice CS!

@ihinka We'll see what @ozymandias says but i like this species application. You've toned down all the pointy appendages and focused on the SEEM being a biological spacesuit of sorts. Reminds me of the Quarians of Mass effect. Good job!
I'll be trying to get my CS up later. And I wonder if we can have multiple characters. My two characters that I intend to implement are Nelson Schor, a lieutenant on the Scythian, and Alexander Mahan, an admiral or fleet admiral (I have yet to decide). Nelson is the main character in my IC posts, who I will try to upload his CS soon, while Alexander plays a rather passive role, as he is the one assigning Nelson to the Scythian, and he sometimes make transmissions like giving him specific orders. I'm also reserving Alexander for something larger-scoped. So can I make multiple characters, and if I do can I make a character for such a small role?


Yeah multiple characters are alright as long as certain conditions are met; namely that you can properly play all of them without overall loss of cohesion. Schor sounds fine as a 1st character, however you will need to PM me what you have planned for Mahan. This is because the dispatch of the Scythian is the doing of Naval Intelligence who are free to commandeer practically any of the Navy's assets that they choose.

Also, i've started a tab for The Nomad on the OP, will finish it tonight.
@TheMadAsshatter Ah right. Yeah there is a fair bit of mish-mashing going on behind the scenes and most of it is intentional I'm going to put down the other two rank structures today, shouldn't take long.

Cool, let me know if you need anything!
Okay . Thought everyone would like a taste of what some of the colony tech looks like, here's one of the multi-purpose tankers which operate on RX:


@ihinka Ok, i'm open to the whole bio/mechanical symbiosis idea. You will need to sell it to me though, drawing on your own original ideas based on the links here. My primary focus is making sure your character fits into the universe and is not overpowered, so as long as those conditions are met there is definitely scope for something like this

I suggest you start the CS with core details and get them signed off before spending hours on appearance etc.

@Silver Carrot i forgot to mention, could you please repost your CS in the Char tab? All character sheets must be in there so when i come to compiling the final roster the process is quick and simple.
@Silver Carrot

Ah i see. In that case, accepted!

@ihinka

Hmm, what do you mean by a bio-mechanoid? Are the characters in those pictures alive or are they mechanical? I'm reluctant to include species which come armour plated as it tends to start a power creep. Could you give me a bit more info on Guyver and the bits you want to keep please?
Setting stuff up
@Silver Carrot Nice CS SC, just one thing to note is that The Nomad is a single entity. It creates and controls vast armies of ships and personnel but they are all slaved AIs and other manner of horrendous biological weaponry. I will elaborate on this today, giving Ry a name of something other than The Nomad to shoot at but apart from that it all looks fine.
@CatharynI think it's a childhood thing for me... I wanted to be a "military woman" /kind of a direct translation from my language/ when I grow up... so naturally now I'm going for the soldier characters... Plus, women in uniform I could do security... My other concept is a bit more hazy and was something in the vein of a sort of weapons expert/gunnery sergeant...


Alright, well write it up and let us see. If its not going to work we can always move some stuff around and find you the right role

I've finished my CS for 0984-Thebes, RX's resident consultant AI. Go check him out and let me know what you think!
@CatharynThat's all right... I'll mainly be working on the core concept for my character today... At the moment I'm stuck on a sort of master-at-arms sailor... but I'm not exactly sure how well this concept will translate to the RP :)


I don't see why not! It seems a lot of people want to be military personnel, which is completely fine as Humanity was in total war mode until very recently. Remember guys there are also lots of civilian roles available! For instance, the science detachment on RX will likely be very important too at some point. As for a Master at Arms, you could be really handy for RX's head of security for keeping everybody on their toes?
