Can you Survive?

Hey guys, I kinda totally forgot about this with all the hecticness of returning from my dad's and going back to school. I'm really sorry, still interested, if things are going on!

FTL: Faster Than Light

I am definitely still interested, I think I will start to write up more structures guidelines, any suggestions?@Space Boyfriend

@Silent Observer
Welcome to the forum, @X23! Fellow silent hill fan here. Kinda. I saw a let's play of silent hill 2...and the movies.
@VolenvradicaDo you use reddit at all? Also you look great!

FTL: Faster Than Light

I appreciate the input. I agree, one ship does seem like it would be better. I'm starting to get more of a plan in my head, I may end up posting a more focused check once I have it sorted out more. I'm thinking it doesn't necessarily have to be rigid in playing with the mechanics of the game, the flavor of the universe and the interesting races and factions are what interest me more. So everyone could be the crew, perhaps each person could take on a role, or it could be more democratic type operation. Maybe I could mostly control NPCs and non player created events, though I think it would be cool if everyone could discuss what kind of events would happen to the ship, long or short.

Also, @Jerkchicken, are you interested in possibly joining or just giving input?

He sorry, I thought I was waiting for someone, Ill write up my post after I'm one racing.

FTL: Faster Than Light

So I have been playing TONS of FTL lately and I thought it might be cool to have a roleplay based in that game, if anyone is interested. You don’t have to have played the game before to participate either.

"If you haven't played, read this."

In the game, you command a space cruiser in a futuristic universe where humans have achieved faster than light travel and made contact with intelligent alien species. You are a member of the Galactic Federation and have to deliver vital information to the main fleet eight sectors away. However, the Rebels are pursuing you so you can’t take your time in “jumping” between beacons. You start with several systems (shields, weapons, life support etc.) and a crew of three or four members, alien, human, or both. Along the way you will pick up the main resource and currency, scrap. You can use scrap to upgrade your systems or reactor, or at shops to buy merchandise or hire new crewmembers. Most beacons will have some sort of interesting encounter or event as well as a possible environmental hazard (asteroid fields, ion storms etc.) When you encounter a ship you get into a fight with you must: a) destroy their ship b) kill their crew c) accept a surrender or d) charge your FTL drive and jump away. During a fight you may have to reroute power to different systems depending on the situation. In a very dire situation, you might have to kill the life support temporarily in order to put the shields back up for example.

I’m not entirely sure what to do with a roleplay like this, but I had a few ideas. We could have the roleplay take place on one ship, and have each person play a single crewmember and possibly one person to decide what happens at each beacon on the way to the federation fleet, or some other destination if we don’t want to be a part of the rebel/federation journey. We could also have each person be a commander of their own ship, and decide their ships role/loyalty (like federation, or rebels, or even solo mercenaries or pirates.). In that case the crew of each of the ships would be more minor roles. Either way, one ship or many, we can have whatever kind of journey we want. Please post if you have any questions or ideas.

This is actually copy pasted from a post I made on a forum years ago. Depending on which people would rather do, single ship or multi ship RP, I will write up some character templates/example maybe. I'm thinking probably casual style, potentially large group.

Can you Survive?

Really sorry for the wait guys!

Can you Survive?

Name: Arterion

Age: 26

Gender: Male

Race: Human (Human)

How did you die?: During a raid on his village, he was murdered while trying to defend his people.

Brief History: (Good or Bad)
During his alive years, Arterion was a fairly simple villager. He spent his time harvesting crops and tried his best to keep many of the poor residents fed. During the day everyone knew him as the humble lonely farmer at the edge of town. At night, Arterion left his home and practiced with an elderly knight who had agreed to teach him the ways of the long sword. He always preferred wearing light leather armor, or none at all, when practicing. So when one day bandits came to the village and Arterion decided to dawn his father's heavy plate armor, he was easily slain during his valiant effort of defense.

@gohKamikaze Where did you get that description of me ? I'm totally cool with it but were you having your character hallucinate or were you just making stuff up?

Anthony pulled the cards out of the box, starting to make them dance in his fingers. He grins and says, ""Magic Man", eh? Hopefully I can live up to such a prestigious title." He looked towards the waitress. "Yeah, what is your name, if you don't mind me asking?" He was about to stand up and perform until the "Private Investigator" showed up. "My name is Anthony, AKA "Magic Man", apparently." He replied, doubting there was anything to investigate about himself.
