To say again @Rithy

Personal shields don't exist in SW, unless HeySeuss is wanting to count KoTR and TOR and have technology go backwards...

<Snipped quote by Feisty-Pants>

i was actually in the mood for some science fiction as well. the only problem is i get uncomfortable rping in a universe i know nothing about, and the only sci-fi universes that i know is star wars and warhammer40k, which reduced my options a little bit on these forums :P (although they are two of the more popular universes!)

i do have a question about equipment though. how common are personal shield generators in star wars? i never saw a single person use them in the movies :P@Rithy

Non-existent.

@HeySeuss

Slooga and Tadia are currently hidden in an alley :P

@HeySeuss this thread looks like one of the more interesting RPs on the forum right now!

are you still recruiting? and how often do you imagine you'll be posting each? every few day or so or multiple times a day? :)

i'm in another RP already, but it's going very slow for me ^^@Rithy

It still is.

Also it's going kinda slow but I think Seuss may have a purge of inactives.

EXECUTE ORDER-10966.

Also as a GM of a RP on this site, I am offended :P

I jest.

<Snipped quote by Feisty-Pants>

Looks fine.

As a general word, they don't have stormtroopers on site yet...but the backup for the bounty hunters do happen to be COMPFORCE assault troops, who are more enthusiastic than trained. Their 'training' is brutal live fire stuff that favors the lucky rather than the skilled, so they're way more balls than brains. 

They do, however, take exception to the way Slooga's offloading their equipment on the black market... ;)@HeySeuss

Also later you should have regular Imp infantry.

People always forget about the regular grunts...

I'm interested. Fair warning, though, I'll probably have to drop by the end of summer (like, September). Here's what I have so far:

My intent is to make a race of trope-fueled spaceship builders. I want their interspecies contacts (at least, until they get in wildly over their heads) to eventually result in contracts to build starships for other races. Their Startrek "hat" would be a race that lives its TV shows. Their comparative advantage would, of course, be ship-building. Or stardrive-making. Whichever.

|Name of nation:  The Democracy of Kaankind

|Species:  Kaan

|Description of government: Democratic republic. Their government (currently in it's 187th season) is a fine-tuned balance of exposition, speeches, dramatic reveals, and last-second saves. The president, Penelope Kate, is a serious figure, commanding authority, yet still maintaining a supernatural attractiveness. Their judiciary is particularly entertaining, with big, flashy court cases and heavily-gavelled decisions. 

|Description of military: Their weapons are colorful, flashy, terrifying, and rather expensive as a result. They spent some time inventing explosive devices that created a nice planar shockwave upon detonation, rather than the standard spherical expanding cloud of gas. Their military ships are either elegant spiderwebs of struts that could only exist in space; large, chunky rectangles reminiscient of rifles; or something like navy ships in space.

|Technological Overview: Although their engineer-artists enthusiastically create drives that exploit strange niches of physics, most of their ships use a flashy point-to-point jump drive. Even so, there are the mega-artworks, like the DKS Merkano, a leviathan that moves around by exploiting macrofissures in subspace, slipping into one and coming out the other side in the space of minutes. Or the DKS Oglethrope, a corvette-sized ship that pulls itself along via magnetic discharge, flinging particulate retrograde at incredible speeds. The Oglethrope is particularly flashy, looking like lightning is pulling the ship along.

Weaponry, although very pretty, tends to be expensive. That means there's much less weaponry on their ships than if they'd just use something cost-efficient. Furthermore, a lot of the Kaanite weapons aren't as powerful as they could be. All of that energy poring into the lightshows has to come from somewhere, after all. Every round that fires is a tracer.

|Cultural Overview: The Kaanites never invented plays. Instead, they took what was in their imagination and made it real. One of their most celebrated operas, a masterpiece called "Yanhallow", actually started a war. They love making spaceships. The less practical, the more artistically meaningful. Spaceship and space drive making are one of the more glamorous forms of art.

|History:  At some point, they decided that plays were dumb, and instead went out and performed them in the real world.

Everything seems fine to me!@Keyguyperson

Good, I'd hate to continue then go back and find out you disliked something I had done so far.

Sorry for the short post, RPGC and all@Keyguyperson

Key, am I good so far or do I need to tweak something now before I continue?

My problem is I read really fast, and in a book like LoTR you can't really read too fast or you gloss over a bit then you're like "Wait, who the fuck is this guy again?"

<Snipped quote by Sep>

S'all good. ^_^

I've seen all the movies and read a few books, I'm not THAT big into it. ._.

Now Lord of the Rings...don't get me started in LotR.@Feisty-Pants

The LoTR books tho

They're heavy, not physically. Well they are physically if you got the older copies... but bloody hell.

You start reading a paragraph then have to read it again as you're like "Wait, what the fucks going on?"
