Insculpo

Any good sci fis?

I have a interest check for a sci-fi RP in advanced involving interstellar colonization you may be interested in, if you want the humans to go down a cyberpunk direction i'm fine with that.

What about a Jovian Moon System Oriented Sci-fi RP?

Hmmm.

Maybe I needed to go with a smaller OP for the interest check.

I will note that I am open to hearing player input and any concerns or criticisms one has of the RP itself as I prefer that to radio silence.

Frokane's Mildly Politcal Hangout Thread

In regards to morals, the moral force most important is a pan-human identity in place of racial collectivism (which as a force isn't as strong as it used to be, but it is still prevalent enough to matter). We need aliens to shoot to have world peace.

A world state I hope never happens despite that, as a world state would be one stalin or mao away from turning everything to shit for everyone.

Alright, introduced my baseline element officially. Sorta a cosmology within a cosmology with the Barkolopus.

Aetherial energy hasn't been defined in any shape or form by the way.

The Barkolopus

Crude drawing of a barkolopus meandering the smokey hills of Cansma, unknown origin

Massive beings who dwell among the rolling, smoke colored hills of Cansma which expand for hundreds of kilometers known as the Barkolopus make their stopping grounds, scouring the cloudy realm for aetherial energies. They are massive things, with bark-like skin, like massive leathery centipedes meandering the seemingly endless plains. So massive these creatures are, with their millions of limbs stretching dozens of kilometers each even though they are but a few hundred meters wide among the body with their kilometer long legs that whole societies have built themselves on the backs of these massive animalistic creatures, of whom host whole ecosystems lining their back like some fanciful green coating which they parade around, perhaps for mates or simply because they are just so mindless as to not care of the life that subsists off of them. The Barkolopus are attracted to aetherial energies, lo and behold whatever has it- for the Barkolopus are mindlessly persistent in their desire to absorb such energy for life. The Barkolopus aren't plant or animal, yet they are something living. It is unknown what the Barkolopus are, except that they are some form of ruse. The exact nature of which to this day remains amazingly unclear.

As the Barkolopus come in numbers, huge numbers in the sprawling plains and hills whole civilizations have built themselves between various Barkolopi over the ages, subided off the vegetation and material one can find on the back of the Barkolopus.

But alas, the null towers are always under siege by immensely massive Barkolopus, centipede shaped entities with bark-like skin and green, fluid eyes which line across it. Their many limbs skittering across the vast, rolling hills and dunes of the realm seeking ethereal energies for nourishment. They are ultimately mindless beings, whose sprawling size has become host to whole societies dwelling on their backs.

Is this doing it right?

What about a Jovian Moon System Oriented Sci-fi RP?

Hello. I initially started this thread with the OP of the RP I initially had, but realize that perhaps I am overwhelming people.

So instead let us have it be a brief check for interest instead of the reposting of the first iteration of this RP.

Premise

Set in a unknown point in the future, humans come back from extinction on a tropical alien world.

See, the human species after having been extinct for so long is alive once more thanks to a unmanned colony ship carrying a crew not of full sized humans, but of genetic code.

Born once more upon landing, the earliest generation would be raised by the Damara AI instead of any human parents once the first children on this alien world were born adapted from the womb.

The efforts of the Damara AI would prove fruitless, as while successful in giving birth to the humans who would come to colony the new world it proved a horrible parent, as by the second generation of humans the whole initiative simply collapsed. The first tribe was lost and the troubles that plague the human species would continue to plague it still.

Humans fell back to tribalism once more, fighting aliens among ancient ruins and contenting with a environment that proved itself progressively more different than anything on Earth. New societies and systems arose as the knowledge of the old humans were recovered and the technology of the ancient aliens who once reigned supreme on these worlds was studied.

Centuries would ensue before any civilization would make itself on this moon once again. Centuries more just to regain interplanetary space travel. Interstellar space travel however, remains deeply out of reach.

Now it is current times and the moon system as a whole has proven remarkably complex- for it was not just the moon humans colonized that was actually habitable. The icy moon and desert moon both proved to be hot beds of life in their own right, with even the planet which all these worlds orbit having massive life forms within its cloudscapes.

More interesting still, these worlds also have intelligent life. Beings of alien form among these worlds who have been here much longer than we ever have that humans find themselves in constant odds with to this day.

But humans are not the most advanced beings here. There is the intelligent life that is the ancient custodians of this place, whose motives are cryptic as ever in why they even allowed us to develop space travel once more. What is known as that these advanced entities the inhabits of the moon system are dealing with are not the actual ancients, but the degenerative descendants of them.

And the secrets this world holds- all the ancient technologies lying around proving of great opportunity for those seeking fortune, prosperity, knowledge, a reputation, power or something else entirely. Such scavenging is the lifeblood of civilization, as with every studied artifact comes the potential for new advancements for society.

In this RP, you can also be a alien society seemingly native to any of the worlds which this moon system holds or even a custodian among the ruins dealing with a whole different situation altogether.

In short,

-This is a sci-fi RP that takes place on a jovian moon system that contains a developing human colony with no political unity.

-There is a tropical world, a ice world, a tiny abandoned city world and a desert world in the moon system.

-There is multiple worlds with complex life in said moon system, with intelligent alien life that have developed societies of their own as a strangely common find on these worlds.

-And there are beings known as custodians, the degenerative descendants of the ancient aliens who once reigned supreme over this place who lord over the ruins.

-Players can be any of these three perspectives and are expected to do some world building.

Not a GM, but I will say he's a nice change of pace from what you normally see. That's a good thing and I hope you get accepted.

As a setting? Maybe as something situated on a waystation or in orbit of one of the network worlds. Seems like you could theme it to be more network oriented if you know what I mean.
