Savage Beast Wars

Ep. 1; Welcome to the Jungle Part 1

It felt like a short travel to the last known location of the two ships.

The trip went so smooth, everyone was perfectly cooperative. Sure, part of it was most of the crew being in stasis pods for the journey, the ship felt bigger, bots gave each other space. And yet, in hind sight, it was quiet.

Too quiet…

Apparently some of the Predacons on board were… “Decepticon Loyalists”; they had some kind of plan to take control of the ship, and… Who knows, but things didn’t go as planned for them, either.

They’d brought some of their allies out of stasis, and attempted a mutiny! The original leader of the mission (A Maximal, of course) tried to confront the "trouble makers" and put a stop to this before things really got out of hand. He'd attempted to appeal to their better nature, assured them he'd speak on their behalf, and push for leniency when they had to answer for what they'd done already.

Some hesitated, others looked to the self-identified leader, as if waiting to hear both sides before deciding on a response.

The chief mutineer made a show of hesitance, himself. He calmly approached, and stood before the bot that loomed large in comparison. Smiling coyly, "Perhaps an example needs to be made, Hm?"

Misinterpreting this, the Mission Leader shrugged a sigh of relief, and offered a hand, "Yes, exactly! There's no need for- !!"

In the same motion that the chief mutineer took his hand, he pulled it across his opponents chest, forcing an opening in his defenses; the other hand drew and projected the point of a collapsible javelin under his torso armor, right through his spark! He than let go of the hand he'd taken dishonestly, and turned his victims' head to face him, watching the light fade from his eyes as he spoke again.

"There! Now they know what it means to stand against us; way to take one for the team, and set the example!" With that, he withdrew the lance, roughly tipped him aside, pointed the lance at the onlookers, and screamed a battle cry, which seemed to stir his allies into a charge.

The Maximals on board, and those Predacons who refused to side with their "fellows", were pushed back to the bridge! They’d barricaded the doors, but it wasn’t going to keep them out forever.

Update! I have an opening post prepared for the IC, and I'll be posting it Thursday.

You stragglers, you'll have until Monday to submit your characters and get involved in the very beginning. After that, I'll close applications until we're ready to introduce some new characters.

It seems like nobody is keen on being bad guys/Predacons just yet, so I'm going to have to work up a rogues' gallery of antagonists in addition to some npc's I already had in mind.

I'm excited to see how y'all handle this, and hope we all have fun!

Savage Beast Wars

No worries! If space opens up on your roster, feel free to check back!

Savage Beast Wars

Well, thanks anyway.

Savage Beast Wars

Do we post applications here?

@Carnelian

You can, but I usually prefer to receive applications in PM.

I'll join. Beast Wars is a Series I finished watching after I partied to the work-force. Sending the Application now.

@Zmija Sebastian

I mean no offense, but I'm going to ask if English is your first language?

You making a character too Ben, or are you going full GM mode?

Also looking forward to see who the heck causes the mayhem. The line about experiments screams Quintessons to me, but since this is BW, maybe Vok?

@Forsythe

I'm planning to go full GM, and just control key NPC's.

Savage Beast Wars

@Carnelian @Dragonfly 9

Still accepting character applications, if y'all are still interested

Savage Beast Wars

And hey, I absolutely encourage y'all to discuss rp and plan stuff, I love when my players are proactive and don't, well, rely on me to make everything happen; I'm not writing short fiction, here, y'all have agency and no story can move along in an rp if the players don't make that happen.

Anyone up for a casual roleplay with these settings? Anime, romance, horror or future might be nice too.

You already know I'm down

Savage Beast Wars

Update:

I need to clarify that beast modes should be chosen based on where you're going; I'm uncertain if beast modes were a thing prior to the events of the original series, it seemed implied that it was a new and unusual thing, but since y'all are going to an alien ecosystem anyway, there's a lot more creative choices you can get away with, and that's just if you don't make something up entirely.

So, you won't immediately have beast modes, but the one you pick at character creation should be on the alien planet, not Earth, otherwise how did you get that in the first place?

Savage Beast Wars

Alright, all the votes are in, but I'm at my day job and without my laptop, so I'll count the votes and share the results later today.

@BenG85

Time to reveal the results!

So, the planet to receive the most votes was: Earth like, with unnatural biomes!(4 votes out of total 9 votes)

And the wild life to be expected is: Completely alien aggro-mutants! (5 out of total 9 votes)

With that settled, I look forward to seeing the Transformers you all come up with, and getting this adventure started sometime this week! Remember to use the CS I added to the OP, and submit them to my PM- don't post in the character tab until your character has been approved!
