(HMU if any of these interest you) Fantasy where players are a group of undead in service of a lich, that hunt down a group of regular adventurers (possibly played by a second group of adventurers if enough interest is shown)
Isekai about a group of teenagers doing a ritualistic psychedelic and being transported to a fantasy psychedelic world.
Modern Sci-Fi set in a ravaged and brutal Mexico City in approximately 20-30 years. Characters would be a group of criminals/associates roped in trying to hijack and steal the Scottish Crown Jewels so they can use the scrying orb in it to foretell ragnarok. Inspired by the works of Neill Blomkamp.
Modern Fantasy set in the same world as one of my other RPs. Players have been hired as the first members of a budding arcane pest control company. Characters will then work to rid the denizens of the city of Gloomminster creatures ranging from cursed bed bugs to rabid chimeras!
Cute slice of life about where the characters are the staff of a fantastical Ghibli-esque cafe.
Interested in starting a Hard Sci-fi story with heavily developed lore. Can't seem to find anything, and I don't know how to GM. Very willing to talk more about ideas. It would be heavily world driven, with character development as people want. Currently have a coupleccharacter ideas as well as pretty developed worldbuilding. Happy to post more as wished but unfortunately I am on mobile so advanced formatting may not be present.
@Milkman@EmiliaBaiYue Definitely agree with you both. Maybe the best middle ground would be something similar to the Dune approach? Normal ships are fitted with a fusion engine of some sort to travel short-mid distances in "realspace" between individual planets/stars, and then to travel between clusters of stars (a far greater length) you attach/park your ship on massive ships equipped with "jump" drives/engines and be isolated inside your ship, but attached to the carrier for transport. And then you could add a megacorp eith a monopoly over jump tech/jump carriers. And then the possibility for rickshaw and or smuggler jump carriers, which are riskier but cheaper/not tracked (potential for smuggling).
I also have a few questions about the setting: 1) What're the races like? Have alien races been absorbed into the UNS? How alien are we talking? Can we make our own races up for characters? Because I'm aware you talked about players adding onto the lore. I have some cool ideas for races. 2) What company does the Dauntless serve? One of the main megacorps? A small freight company? Freelance? Is it a UNS government vehicle? 3) Can get some more details on roles? What does being the First Officer entail? How about the Navigator?
@Gisk I'd imagine due to her extroverted/more outspoken nature Brown might have some kind of admiration/interest in her. Though I wouldn't imagine they're especially close, if nothing else due to a lack of interaction. Though depending on Audrey's relationship towards Aleyn that might change. Because Aleyn and Brown are fairly close. Still have yet to get it approved though, so waiting on that.
Interested. Looking fascinating. However you mention "near light speed" multipletimes, however under the ship tab, you also say the engine is only capable on 0.085% the speed of light. You also say it's roughly 900 AU from Terra to the nearest system. That means ot would take roughly 14,500 years to travel between them with the Mark II Fusion Engine. But multiple times you say most trips are only a couple months long, and it's advised to only be in hibernation for a year? I'm guessing the engine figure is an error, or is transport between the Core, Border, and Frontier virtually non-existant and done by civilisation-scale ships?
@PerfectThought Well, as of now, there’s slightly over 12 hours left of the day. I will not be extending the deadline in any way due to the high volume of characters already present, but anyone who skates in today will be viewed/reviewed/potentially approved with all fairness.
Thanks!
Name: Brown L. Cheeseman
Age: 15
Gender|Sex|Identity: Male
Brown L. is a quiet, bookish chap that looks through an analytical lens at most times. Generally charitable and naïve, he has a penchant to look at people's best qualities. His mother taught him to be kind and altruistic to a fault. Though many in the town do not know him well, as he is very introverted, most knowing him as "the librarians assistant", or the "son of a the primary teacher", or the just "the boy that lives on the lake". Those who know him closely know he is a harmless individual that is loyal to his friends, kind to strangers, and likes nothing more than to have his nose in a book. He holds a deepseeded and unresolved grief due to his father's not unrecent death. Despite him personality-wise seeming an easy target for the town's harassers and bullies, he never found himself under serious harshness from them, possibly due to his size and appearance.
Brown is exceptionally tall for someone of his age, standing easily above 6'4" at the age of 15. His limbs are disproportionately long, however not enough to be casually noticeable. Because of this and his weight, he could be accurately described as "lanky". Despite this he doesn't weigh more than 70kgs. However he takes careful effort to hide it by wearing baggy/oversized clothes. His face is still visibly gaunt though, and his sharp blue eyes are surrounded by tired looking black circles and framed by an unruly nest of blonde hair. Other facial features include a perfectly straight roman nose, one of his few traits inherited from his mother. And blonde peach fuzz on his top lip and face, typical of many unshaven teenagers.
Brown lives on the coast of the lake on a small, slightly run down barge, with his mother. He feels an undying love and devotion to his mother, Violet, a small kind woman that works at the school with younger kids. Though the pair aren't particularly wealthy they are happy together on their boat. They have just enough to eat, have clothing, and maintain their boat. Barely. Brown tends to spend his days in the local library reading and helping Hickory, who Brown would consider to be his male rolemodel. He would not call his father abusive, and neither would his mother, as they both genuinely love him, however they both considered him completely unsuitable to be a father. He was killed when Brown was ten years of age, leaving him naught but the family boat, a small sum of his savings, and a grieving mother to take care of. Fortunately for him he managed to step up to the plate with the support network comprised of his few close friends, Hickory, and strangely enough the Bilica family, as his father worked closely with them and they considered him and his son a friend, despite them only recently entering the town's social ecosystem. The Cheesemam family migrated to the town when Brown was still a babe in arm's, his parents sailing there down the river and settling their due to it's calm nature and his father taking up work with the Bilica family. Unlike most kids his age, Brown has never had any intention on leaving, partially because it work be fiscally implausible, and partially because the slow speed of the town suits his temperament.
Violet Cheeseman - Brown is deeply loving and loyal towards her mother, given they have relied on eachother for such a long time. She is a short, small woman with dark hair and green eyes, and she works at the local school with the younger students. She is adored by the younger children in the town, and taught and was loved by most of the teenagers at some point in time. 'Hickory' Earhart - The local librarian, Brown work's as his assistant. Brown feels at home in the library, and spends long hours there reading and helping out. Brown also views Hickory as his primary male adult rolemodel, and considers him a friend. The Bilica family - Depsite the Cheeseman families presence in the town being less than a decade and a half, the Bilica's count Violet and Brown among their friends, due to the fact their father worked for the Bilicas loyally for close to a decade. Not only that but Violet taught every single one of the children. They are welcomed to dinner every few months and get along very well, despite the general town's view of the family. Aleyn Ward - Despite Aleyn's general reputation as an asshole, Brown is quite good friends with him, and knows his true character fairly well, that of a comedian. And though their general attitudes may seem juxtaposing, the pair get on very well and Brown considers him his closest friend, helped by their proximity in age and the fact they go through schooling together.
You're in class and the Fire Alarm goes off. Everyone begins to panic. Well I'm for sure not going to be the first or last out. I'd go along with the rest of the crowd. However I'm going to double check my friends and mother are safe.
You've made plans to go to the festival and are running late, but may make it in time to see the fireworks with your friends. On your way, you see a stranger with a flat tire on the side of the road. I'm not that into fireworks anyway. I don't know their situation. What harm could it do to stop and ask if they need help?
You fall asleep in class and begin to dream; you're atop a ruined tower and a massive dragon circles overhead. You reach for... The dragon, the scales must feel like gemstones. I wonder what the view is like, who the people in this world are, what grows in the woods and who built the tower? If only I could know.
The world is so boring; you wish you had a super power. What do you wish for? Sometimes I wish I was better at talking to people. It's hard to be so insular, but I just don't know what people want me to do. Have I said the wrong thing?
You are suddenly reminded that tomorrow is the Midterm Exam. Oh well. I guess I'm not sleeping tonight. I'd sure like to do well. But it's not the end of the world if I don't. Mum sure wouldn't be pleased though.
Hoping someone wants a connection before a do this backstory cause whoever can stomach Aleyn will be rather important to his development and backstory.
Still interested in this? Because I think the character I have in mind could work pretty well with yours.
Hello Mr. @Fading Memory. Bit rusty on this site, but your concept looks interesting. Aware of the lateness of my interest and the looking presence of the application deadline. Requesting some form of greenlight for my participation. Fairly interested in participation.
