Andreemea: Brighter Tomorrows

Hey, been looking at this and sounds interesting.

Got an idea for a character, has no idea about all this space stuff (Think 1800's level of knowledge and civilization). Either ends up accidentally stowing away on either this ship, or on one the crew end up visiting.

Obviously slightly out of the ordinary, so if you don't wanna work it in that's cool.

@Bainshie

That could work.

@ImportantNobody Is it like the one in dead space?

@Nytefall

they have sports in dead space? Or are we on a different topic?

My sport has the goal in the middle, only one ball in most cases, and different rules such as they can shoot while moving. The floating using the same technology I came up with flying cars called space anchors. Think of them like energy bungee chords that can keep objects on track like a railway. That way inexperienced or evil drivers don't fly their car wildly around and smash into a building. Flying cars not using the space anchors in any UNT planet is forbidden without special privileges. This frees up military vessels and high important people to fly around unimpeeded. In the sport it doesn't restrict movement, just supports them.

After work I'll edit in the posted characters to the first post to show newcomers what positions are taken. I'll also see if I have any important commentary on them.

Grav ball will be like a child's game to my sport! Your's will actually e a variation of it.

@ImportantNobody I can change it for you if you want. I wanted him to be a pack mule as well as a soldier. So he can easily haul any goodies we find or carry people/machinery that has fallen. Think of him as a car jack.

@Nytefall

I personally imagine our characters able to fight around 10 normal thugs each if they got into a street fight. Any more and it might get boring just demolishing 100s of enemies. If we are all in agreement that this sounds like a good starting level, I'd indeed adjust his strength more to what you desire he can do and not over. So to drag around equipment, most of said equipment would be around to 5-10 ton range max, but I can see if your guy struggles he can just barely do better. You can also get him stronger if he has more obvious weaknesses to balance it out. For example, he can be outmaneuvered by normal humans and his weak points are able to be penetrated by people with normal weapons if they do really good.

I thought that one could strike with more power than they could lift because all the power is going into a brief impact with small surface area, but a physicist could prove me wrong.

I indeed thought you might have been scaling his strength to like a bug, which is what they did with Spiderman and spiders. His strength probably changes but I think he was 150 tons lifting.

I'd be fine if he can lift like a forklift weight in andreemea. Our modern forklifts are lifting about 2 tons. Andreemea ones could technically reach extreme levels, but an average one would likely be around 10 tons. They'd antigravity thing to lift more, I'm sure. Can't check right now, but was he the type who could withstand explosions? It's all the things together that make me more picky on the individual stuff such as strength or else he's compatible to superheroes and seems almost unstoppable.

Some individuals in andreemea could be like low level superheroes, admittedly. If people want us to be like an elite team then there wouldn't be an issue with his capabilities. Anyone care too much? I assume most people would want to be above average, so I'm prepared for that much.

I'm at work so not looking in depth, but from what I remember while reading over the sheets they all look good. Hesitent on the character lifting 50 tons, though, as he could probably throw around a stack of 3 or 4 spacefighters with ease, or cars weigh even less so around 15 cars, which seems like huge overkill. He's probably stronger at breaking down doors than explosive charges would be. If I allow him to keep that strength than to use it, all of his muscles might burst.

I'll probably post the IC on the weekend and get the races I want posted typed up during the week at various points when I get around to it.

Andreemea: Brighter Tomorrows

I'm guessing zhaelara will escape? Maybe a dim witted redshirt is tricked by her.

I forgot two important races, a floating one and a four legged one. More non humanoid representation would be nice.

Andreemea: Brighter Tomorrows

Just thought of something. Xern humans came from Exendrian humans, like most humans as they spread throughout the Galaxy. They both have x in the name, so perhaps they like to include x in a lot of planet names and maybe names from royal families. X at the last of the name is more low class and no x is for people furthest away from exendrian culture as the formed their own governments. Not all exendrians still keep this tradition as a lot of human groups intermingle, but with royalty more pure in blood and tradition, it's more kept. Ahsuda humans diverged greatly from them so dropped the x. Maybe the group that became ahsuda were Axuda.

Most exendrians are dark skinned but I think I said on the wiki only 60% or something. It's the golden eye trait that's much more universal among them. Xern humans lost this in addition to many other groups.

I'll draw certain races first if you guys really want to see how a race looks in a picture. Humanoid ones are easier since I already drew a human that I can alter. However, some aliens might be more fun to draw if they aren't as humanoid. Guess I should draw a male human too, if I can get around to it.

I hope you don't mind, but I added the Falimawe to the legends subsection of the Faera wiki page. I cleaned up my English before posting it there, of course; a few too many "said"s for my liking.

@FacePunch

Go ahead.

On an unrelated note, I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the naming scheme for UNT vehicles. One would think they'd have numbers and letters and such like earthling ones, but I'll have to make stuff up. I think I'll put off posting about the bokite until I get all that figured out.

How does that sound?

@FacePunch

Really good. One great thing about roleplays is it helps people hit ideas back and forth and come up with awesome stuff we wouldn't alone. I can see this being an episode of an anime, and then Yoo-17 shows up dressed as the mythical beast and scares them. Then a real one shows up.
