Batman Vs The Joker Aesthetic: Our Heroes and Villains (Ladies Only)

@Estylwen I’m going to start brainstorming. Would a martial artist ninja chicc with a whimsical sense of humor work?

Sounds interesting.

Describe the person above you in three words or less.

Still making sgetti.

A couple of questions while I’m at it;

1. Without spoiling too much - if any - of the storyline, could you maybe give some more basic outline on the plot arcs? Like the general theme of the main narrative.

2. As far as the IC goes, any day estimate?

3. Does Dumah have any moons? Any info on other planets in the Ishmael system? Space ports?

@BuzzerBanger

1. The primary arc is going to be the Tycho Corporation and their hostile takeover of the planet. They already have a stranglehold on the only other habitable planet in the entire cluster and now they’re after Dumah basically. This RP was heavily inspired by Red Faction actually with bits of Star Hawk mixed in. The primary plot will be around an eventual “armed uprising” of sort and Tycho ultimately either being driven off the planet or seizing total control and establishing a “corporate dictatorship”. Even the players endorse the idea we may even can have Dumah totally secede from the Terran supernational collective totally.

Other secondary and minor sub-plots really will focus on the increasing raider attacks and increasing smuggler activities and Tycho and other corporations wanting them stopped. (Tycho only to an extent.) Minor arcs will be assassination chains, illegal AI and genetic research at remote labs, etcetera.

2. Well the IC itself will be reliant on when enough players have applied their characters and I’ve approved them. But the official thread itself I’ll start working on tonight or tomorrow and plan to have primed sometime Saturday.

3. Dumah had no moons. There’s a few spaceports for refueling and orbital trade/commerce along with refinery and docking complexes. But nothing major. As for other worlds, Ishmael has two other celestial bodies; a large gas giant on the termination shock and a volcanic planetoid on closer to the sun itself.

Since the planet is smaller than earth by a good margin, it would have less gravity, right?

@Lugubrious

Yes, but not to the degree of things floating off or being able to leap over entire canyons. I’ll double check on that and if I’m completely wrong I’ll edit to have Dumah slightly larger. Otherwise, yes - notable less gravity.

I’m aiming to have the OP up on Saturday.

<Snipped quote by Shu>

Would an android or mostly-synthetic cyborg be within the realm of possibilities? :)

@Laser Kiwi

Android no, now a cyborg character is fine. As long as he has maintained his human sentience.

What is technology like? More specifically weapons. Are they energy based weapons, or is it still ballistic?

@Sanity43217

So weapons are both energy/laser based and ballistics. Though in the corporate and more professional environments energy weapons typically tend to be the preference. Slug throwers are more of the majority out in the wastes. Of course there is not restriction on weapon type, and in the character sheet there will be a spot for weapons. I had considered a cataloguing of weapons but instead just decided to let players get creative with it in their CS.

As for other technology, well here’s a few examples;

Transportation on Dumah is by zoomer or horse. “Zoomers” of course being hover cars akin to speeders from Star Wars or Mass Effect. You also have zoomer bikes like the speeder bikes from Star Wars, which are a favorite for Dusters. Of course you also have tread vehicles and “dune buggies” that are a favorite of raiders.
The two major cities are connected by monorail, and the tram system is being expanded out into the frontier like the railroad of the old west.

Communication is by personal devices and video calling. No holograms.

Robotics are pretty standard; you have advanced VI assistants, security robots, combat mechs, scout drones, etcetera.

Cybernetics is also a thing. Cybernetic arms, legs, eyes, organ support, and even nanomachines.

That good for now or would you like to know more? :D

Expect the character sheet template tonight or tomorrow. If anyone has any question about Dusters, Tycho, extrasolar government, or more about life on Dumah just ask!
