No Turning Back [Sci-Fi Space RP]

@Firecracker_ What kinda crime we talking about? That's probably what it would come down to.

Bravo on coming up with the first question I didn't anticipate.

Late to the party I see. I'll have my sheet up hopefully soon.

@sakurasan

21 people between two int chks, there's more behind you.

@The Survivor Oh yeah she's gonna need work done to her. If that's the role you wanna go for it, go ahead and try for it.

@Winter Kitten Yeah the discussions welcome, as for the different plans yes they very are possible. Though what's likely to happen is the sperm etc. will be taken once the IC starts because as I said before, it will have been crazy busy on the ship pre-take off. You are welcome to go around with a test tube.

@Nevix Yes, for any potential battle scenarios (Ships have them IRL as first on the scene kind of thing), but also when we do get to planets and we send away teams. Yes we are going to do peoples favourite Sci-Fi thing with people visiting alien planets (But I'll make sure those left on the ship are entertained).

@Winter Kitten I am sorry to say @Forsythe is just our resident lurker until late game if I have aliens appear and he gets to play one.

In terms of gene splicing such as it is kind of possible. Though it's an area that hasn't been touched in much, and in these kind of situations it'll likely be very controversial.

On the topic of babies, test tube babies are a possibility but remember these people have no idea how long they're going to be on the Ark, hence the frozen people. For all they know by the time they make planet fall they may be too old to have babies.

I also added this to my last post. Now I don't intend to turn people into breeders, I'm just saying this as these issues will have been thought about pre-departure, I mean the people that created Genesis Protocol would want to ensure Humanity didn't get out and find a new planet just to die out.

I also imagine their role plays a factor too. There are people picked specifically to reproduce, right? Staff on board would be far too busy in their jobs trying to make the ship stable, trying to feed numerous people, and a number of other things to really engage in sex and reproduction as frequent as the civilians on board. I'm not being presumptuous by thinking that, right?

@Winter Kitten

This bit you are quite correct, those with jobs need to do their jobs. Hence why those picking staff were careful in their selection process, they didn't outright go "Okay no Gay/Trans people. We don't want them."

However, you're talking about great minds here that likely would be a waste not to attempt to breed through the generations. Would it be illogical to assume the staff were asked to donate sperm and eggs in order to make sure their genes lived on for even more generations before boarding? I assume that'd be a top priority. Last of humanity and you have the equivalent of Albert Einstein on your ship, you want him to work for you, but you also want to make sure he has children. Right?

That I shall leave up to the medical personnel (if people apply as them), as remember getting people onto the ship will have been hard as it is. You have the recruitment process, and then you have to try and convince them to leave everything they know and love to go into the unknown, all they will know is that their loved ones will die. Then the ships brand new, gotta get it up to scratch.

Tis a busy time.

Ah, good thing I'm going to be playing a Psychotherapist trained in crisis management 8D

@FrozenEcstasy

Your character could end up being rather busy.

@Sep

All those poor frozen meatbags. Only good for sperm and babies.

Winter Kitten

That's pretty much what they are, they're useful but only once we make planet fall.

@Winter Kitten Indeed that's the thing, usefulness trumps everything in this regard, and as you're unfrozen that means your useful.

I can't speak for other peoples characters, as I said. They may have a negative view on homosexual individuals, I mean there will be a lot of hate, anger, depression and confusion on the ship for a while @FrozenEcstasy

@FrozenEcstasy I can speak for the Captain, he's not gonna have a problem with you.

@FrozenEcstasy I kinda hinted at it in the canon section, they're trying to select people who are viable for reproduction which means they are trying to not end up with any gay people onboard simply because it's easier for people to actually y'know, do the nasty rather than artificial insemination. Obviously depending on the characters skills or what he knows (like if he's the smartest man on Earth) they'll be like "Nevermind his sexuality, we need him on board!"

How other characters react is upto the players, I hope that answers your question.
