_{Current location:
Ship Hangar}

The loud, obnoxious electronic music nearly drowned out the captain's ship-wide speech, as Red looked up from the guts of her suit. "Heh, showtime..." She chuckled to herself as she began closing up the hatches again, having made sure the internals would run as smooth as possible. Weird to think that after all this time, all these millennia of war, they might be the ones to finally close this chapter.

Red looked up, watching the rest of the armored division also working on their suits. The armored divisionalways did attract a certain type of character. Loud, boisterous and just a tad bit suicidal... You'd have to be, if you wanted to perform as an effective shocktrooper.

"You chucklefucks better have those suits up and ready in a half hour, or I'm gonna come back and finish the job using your skull... Y'got that?" Red huffed, getting a few gruff grunts in response and more than a few middle fingers flipped her way. They were a rough bunch, but probably the closest thing Red ever had to any semblance of a family.

Tossing a dirty rag across her shoulder, she walked up to one of the walls and flicked on one of the myriad of monitors lining the wall. It showed a live feed of the portal they were currently approaching. What would they find on the other side? A planet? Asteroids? Or did the bugs just propagate themselves on nomadic vessels? Whatever the case, if it was up to Red, they'd fire every nuke they carried until they glassed whatever was on the other side.

Sighing deeply, she turned off the monitor and turned to face the busy hangar again. Everybody was still working on the final details... God only knew what they'd be facing in the next hour or so.

Anyone else horribly burnt out?

Hey, you posted this question in the wrong section, try here instead.

Yup! Yup! Still around! Work got busy and then Destiny 2 released on Steam which sucked up my weekend like a black hole... Also kinda stuck thinking of a way to kick this off. I'll probably have something up by tomorrow.

@FoxFirePerfect! Exactly what I wanted to hear! Open world RPs are great and all, but I find them bogging down far too quickly.

This RP also sounds like the perfect place to translate my Pathfinder character into, a Kitsune Arcane Trickster~

Also:

This looks pretty neat! Been a while since I saw a nice old fashioned fantasy RP... Question though, will this be an open world affair, or will we group up and follow a story?

I actually really dig it, it clearly tells you that certain races are in fact superior to others. This isnt a game where we need perfect balance, but a believable world. And just like in the real world, not everybody is equal.

Hádes: The Lost Colony

This looks pretty interesting... Are there any strange powers in this universe like you see in the Borderlands series (Sirens) or Mass Effect (Biotics)? Seems like we already have quite a few gun-totting characters, so maybe something different would spice things up a little?

Fair enough points, the analogy between a modern assault rifle and a musket isnt exactly fair... So lets make it a bit more fairer. Imagine standing next to your buddy and he pulls out an STG44. Its the grand daddy of assault rifles, operating on similar systems as we see in today's firearms, but you dont see anybody using those things anymore, right? And I'm not asking you to make your weapons all weird and goofy. I dont want to see you come up with pistols that shoot pistols that then explode, or a revolver that shoots miniature black holes (although that does actually sound really cool). We're not playing Borderlands here.

All I'm saying is that those weapons by that era would be antiquities. Why not just swap out the name for something sci-fi sounding and just call it a Union standard issue side arm? Doesnt have to do anything special, but at least it'll make it sound like a weapon they'd use in the army; instead of museum pieces. All I'm asking for is a little immersion.

But again, I'm not the GM here and all I can give are my $0.2. But I'm gonna make Red give you hell for bringing those antiquities to the battlefield. We're supposedly a legendary mercenary company, with access to the best of the best, and you're bringing a bunch of museum pieces to the frontline?
