Alright, So Now Im thinking of playing a technologically advanced Alien "Park Ranger" who was captured by the Human Government after it Killed a bunch of Colonists who were trespassing on a planet that already had a primitive sentient species or something.

Actually changed my mind, Im gonna be a space pirate. now to think up a name.
Oh this could be fun. Im thinking of playing something From Eclipse Phase. Does it have to actually be a spaceship? would a habitat or something be acceptable?
I might join, Thinking a Technophiliac Survivor clan with a mix of mechanoids and "Meat Interfaces" While the main goal is survival and protecting the Precious Server farms and spreading Holy Wi-fi wherever they can, A faction within them Really Really thinks humanity shouldnt be colonizing inhabited planets and thinks all the Meat-Interfaces should pack up and leave. Unfortunately as leaving is no longer possible This sub-faction now wants the meat-interfaces (humans) to die. So that the native lifeforms may be studied without interference so they may be taught the glories of the Internet.

Mmm, I could have worded that better. I was just wanting to make sure no one came here with some crazy stuff. Look up Twi'leks, Togruta, Gungans, Asari, Turians, Salarians, Krogan, Vulcans, Protheans, Batarians, Protoss... these are all relatively 'humanoid'. They would be perfect inspirations.

I just had to make sure no one came in here trying to play something like the Alien (from the Alien franchise) or Jabba the Hutt, or Elcor and Hanar type characters.

It's like trying to host a RP about a party of adventures, and someone comes along and says "I want to be a unicorn" or "I want to be a dragon" or something. Those kind of characters just would not fit what I am trying to accomplish, you know?


Damn, So nothing like the hivers from Traveler? What about like, a member of a species that is in natural form non-humanoid (but intelligent) but because space travel is hard on organics and they didnt develope the fancy artificial gravity shit till later They went post-biological and put themselves in robotic bodies. The robotic body of this character would be humanoid.
How humanoid must humanoids be? And any particular reason they are humanoid? Is there some kind of precursor race?

The only true difference being if you believe in Christian inspired hell or not... Devils and Angels would hardly be considered such a thing to other races. I suppose what I am suggesting is that you make it more in line with the War Hammer concept. The idea of Golems is far more likely to scare a Skaven than an Angel.


I might call them something other than angels, but angels is just the main inspiration. they arent necessarily from the religions of any of the other races. perhaps they appear in a few species myths but these myths probably are more myth than fact.

As for the Devils, thats just a name im using for them and what some other races might call them (though feel free to call them whatever is appropriate for your race) The other races probably couldnt tell the difference between the "Devils" and the "Demons" anyway as they both can cause unusual behavior.

So you intend to have a faction that is both Angel and Demon? No offence but that sounds like a good old fashioned war just to yourself. Maybe something more in line with sentient first, magical later, type race?


No these are two seperate ideas, Completely unrelated. Im choosing between one or the other. And devils, not demons. though demons will be involved too, but they are considered vermin.

I kinda like this idea, its sorta like Khorne Berserkers with a twist.
My only question is that (for both of these ideas) how are you going to make them seem more real in terms of their goals?
What is it that the Angels want/gain from fighting everyone else and why can't the Devils just undo their magics on the berserkers?


For the angels: The angels believe that other races need guidance, many of them are willing to use force to achieve this goal. The Devils Just want souls to feed the psychic realm and seek to gain influence in as much of the world as possible. The devils prefer infiltration and subterfuge when possible. The Devils cant undo what they did with magic, they fucked something up and a large portion of a countries population is psychotic (mass harvesting of the portion of the souls that the devils like best leaves a broken mind behind) or was rendered braindead from complete soul extraction, the braindead tend to die pretty quickly. They cant "Undo" the magic just like we cant "undo" chernobyl, They can work on cleaning up the mess but those people are still psychotic.

The human members of the nation would be composed of:
Gibbering Lunatics who have had parts of the soul stripped away and the rest of the soul unstable
Soulless husks being kept alive to serve as vessels for devils at a later time
Mildly Psychotic Individuals who were effected by the disaster, but didnt have the souls taken out, just fractured a little bit.
Zealots who are humans who managed to keep their soul from infernal snacking with a strong faith in a deity, they still have mental fracturing though and have been manipulated into serving the infernal masters.
The Cured: an experiment by devils to fix some of the damage they had done to the cattle/humans souls stiched back together but are always a little off, often serve to the needs of the psychotic masses.

Honestly I need more details to make a final judgement but I'm reminded of the Eldar.
Personally I'd say try to do something where your army's weakness isn't quite as much size based since a 1000 v 1000 fight is a lot more interesting and epic than something like a 100 v 1000.


100 vs 1000 can be epic, but its different, I was thinking of perhaps having Human soldiers as well, The angels being elites. I was actually thinking of the angels as being something like eldar in terms of the whole soulstone thing. Angels are the souls of some forgotten race, the bodies are something like golems.

If These guys dont really fit the roleplay, I have another different idea involving a nation that got subverted by Devils, but the devils fucked things up and are trying to fix things. armies of psychotic berserkers that the Devils dont really know what to do with so they send them to other countries.
Might be interesting in creating a nation of "Angels" who use artificial structures to channel magic, armies are small in number but well equipt. Would that be acceptable?
