The Essence

GENERAL INFORMATION
________________________________________
Faction Overview:

The Essence are a biomechanical race built from nanite structures that use biomass and other elements to reproduce and construct more complex ‘frames’. Frames is the term used to describe advance units comprised of millions if not trillions of nanites that form humanoid structures that are used as combat units and very rarely, diplomats.

The Essence nanites are all share a linked intelligence much like a server network which aids in rapid communication between units. However, like a server, there are limitations to this system. The distance of said network varies depending on the complexity of the frames attempting to communicate with each other. To ensure communication is optimal, some frames are specialised into becoming network relays. These frames are often large and most often placed in orbit to create a form of a satellite to ensure global domination.

The Essence are known to be extremely hostile to all lifeforms. This is not due to anger, but rather the need to reap the vital minerals found in organic life in order to reproduce. This has led to many conflicts in several sectors. The issue is that should a single nanite remain unharmed in the conflict, the entire cycle can start anew. That is why it is recommended that high-amp EMP weapons are used to fry entire network frames and thus destroying the virtual networks that control them.
Territory Overview:

The Essence are housed in the system known as Hell’s Furnace. This system houses a supergiant star in which the Essence use as their energy source. Having constructed a Dyson Sphere around the star, the energy is harvested and powers the many nano-forges that run constantly.

The system contains several iron-rich planets and asteroids that are harvested by the Harvester class ships within the Essence navy. These planets act as mining outposts and are rarely populated by more than necessary units.

In the system, there is a single hypergate designated S-114.

Tech Overview:
While the Essence have vast nanite construction facilities. Their lack of organic imagination doesn’t allow much in the way of innovation and thus have become stubbed from advancing their own technology through conventual means.

@Willy Vereb
I would love to play as something like the Typhon from Prey (2017) but not sure that it would fit in with your vision of the RP >.<
Really need two more guys :/

Welcome to FTL: Faster Than Light. You are entering a roleplay based off Subset Games’s widely received game of the same name. Here you will be taking the role as a crew member of the FSS Defiance, a Lanius Battle Cruiser. It is five years after the destruction of the Federation’s Home Base after the Last Stand Defensive Force was ultimately destroyed by the Rebel Flagship. Now the Rebel Fleet swarms over the known galaxy, raiding innocent star systems of their hard work and resources.

Luckily there is hope. The Deviance has a built-in A.I known as Val-9000 who has designated several critical targets for the Federation to attack. Val-9000 is also the ships piloting system, completely self-reliant, though other functions such as weapons and shield management are better with the aid of operator input due to processing restraints.

Sadly, the rebels have found the Lost Moon Base in which the Deviance was under construction, and as such, not all systems are currently online. You must act quickly if you are to be the last hope of the galaxy.




Rules:
1. While some of you may be amazing creatures set in the FTL Universe, you are still organic… organics bleed… organics die.
2. The idea of this RP is teamwork. That means that the RPers HAVE to get along, that doesn’t mean that the characters do.
3. As your evil overlord of this RP, my decision is final. Bad things will happen, don’t wear a red shirt…
4. Use common sense.
5. Lanius and Crystal characters are sadly not playable yet. (Yes, it’s a Lanius ship and we’ll explore that)
6. Your skills chart doesn’t 100% determine what you can and cannot do, it affects how well and quickly you do those things. A bad mechanic can’t fix a hull break with duck-tape.

I'm still down if you want to GM, though curious how we'd end up with a Lanius ship. :P

How would you intend to run things mechanically speaking?


We got it by totally legit and non-aggressive action which may or may not include sabotage, espionage and staging a coup non-Fed planets. *Shifty Eyes*

In terms of mechanics, each player will have a role like in FLT, weapons, shields etc. The ship has an A.I Val-9000 (see what I did there ;) ) which pilots the ship. Stats of the ship will be on the 0th post so all damage etc is recorded there. In terms of combat etc, each player has their skills, which again will be on the 0th post and can be levelled up via RP. These stats then affect the narrative. For example, someone with low engineering can change a lightbulb, but won't be able to reverse engineer alien tech.
