The Jest

A Sci-fi Merc RP, anyone?

rusty4297 said And I might not be gone, it all depends on how my other RPs work out (not looking too great for one or two)

Well here's hoping you buy the time to come back.

Good news: We are ALMOST finished. The Backstory is finished, the Faction explanations are finished, all the CSes are in place, and the only filled profiles I haven't done yet aren't too important as to delay this for any longer. ...And just two more segments of one particular species.

Bad News: For the purpose of finishing the summaries of the planets in the system, and providing the last finishing touches to the OOC. (I have small perfectionist habit I admit.) I need to delay this for one more day.

In the mean time, I am TERRIBLE at names. So I would like to ask you all to come up with a suggestion name for: A sci-fi RP that does involve Angels, Demons, and Dragons, and has TWO main plots revolving around two empires, (One being darker then the other) that are hostile to each other and have their own problems in addition to warring with each other.

Doesn't have to be too grand or anything.

sooooo

Well, I was hoping to generally...not post here to work on the RP itself. That way my next post would be the OOC.

But I suppose an Update is needed.

What Drakel said is true, and I apologize for the mess that comes from it. I won't comment on it any further then that.

In regards of the RP, I am humbly sorry about how long it's taking. I know it's ridiculous how long this has been at this point. I have no excuse, nor will I blame anyone who lost interest from how long this is taking. It's my responsibility as GM, and therefore my fault.

But with that said, it is almost done. I play my cards right and I should get it posted by the first or second of October.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (IC & OOC)

"I'm afraid this is not a dream, and while I shall not force you to stay, I strongly urge you to listen to my request. ...Many years ago, there was a galactic war between the forces of good and the Monarchy of Evil headed by the being known as Dark Spectre. I was a warrior of this war, and with the help of my allies, defended the Earth from Dark Spectre's forces. However, the one leading the regime of Earth at the time, the sorceress Rita Repulsa, placed me into a temporal warp, making me unable to interact with the world, save for this energy tube used primarily for communication. Dark Spectre called her back from Earth, preventing her or any of his other forces from taking it as a part of their domain. For what reason, I do not know, perhaps it was because all who have fought alongside me have succumbed, leaving no one else to defend this planet. ...However, either way, Rita Repulsa has returned, and as we speak, she has launched her forces on your city of Angel Grove. Look behind you at the pyra-monitor to see its status." He said. Behind the teenagers were indeed a Pyramid-shaped monitor, showing Goldar and his forces attacking Angel Grove.

"...Humans, for all their potential, normally would not stand a chance against Rita's army. However, I intend to ask you to lend your own potential to the cause. You have all been chosen to become defenders of the earth and the enforcers of all things good." Zordon said. He then looked at Alpha and nodded to it. As Alpha pushed a few buttons, lightning would come down on the teenagers, but would not hurt them what-so-ever. Rather, the lightning started concentrate itself into shapes until they became what appeared to be giant devices.

"You have been chosen, to become the Power Rangers." Zordon said.

I see... Yeah the draconian race basically believed dragons were gods in a sense though they might see the other dragon species more so as cousins or angels more-so than their actual deities though.

In any case I'd still post my race so you can see it.

Sadly though the wait will have to be 4 days, maybe even longer since all my CSs are on a harddrive in CA and I'm in WA.

That's quite alright. Do take your time. I despise being rushed and rushing people.

And besides that, it still might take a little while to get the OOC up.

Which brings me to say to everyone, that I'm TERRIBLY sorry for the wait. The next time I make an RP like this, I'm going to make it a point to make the OOC before the interest check.

As I said before, I do agree with that philosophy though when it comes to dragons and elves and such I expect a lot of detail and thought placed into them, something that you'll notice when I post up the my version of the draconian race in the OOC.

As for the race itself it was originally made for a starwars RP that died long ago, I'll just be posting it as an example on what I am talking about. You can play as a member of their race if you'd like and I will admit that it might actually be better than everyone crating 50 versions of the exact same thing. The physiology and biology part was rather easy but then I had to add reasons and history behind them that still gave off a rather fantasy like feel but at the same time still keep it scientific. So... I made that tribal and was RPing out their evolution with Stryder. Of course, for this RP, the race will be played around about 200 years after such events would happen... when they started to build ships for space combat and that like while holding on to their ancient traditions and architecture style.

While I haven't displayed it yet, (I wish to keep it unknown until the OOC) I do have a CS made, thanks in part to one of my friends, designed specifically for Alien Species as a whole. (For the record, I also have one for individual ships.)

Truth be told, I actually intended on making the CS for the dragons myself. ...And depending on a few factors, we may have to have two types of variance in the Dragon Species.

Is this still accepting?

I'm afraid not, but I can put you on a list of Stand-by's in case someone leaves.

Sorry guys, as usual, I was away for my bi-weekly disappearance... Can I get an update on if anything happened?

Luckily, and unluckily at the same time, besides a few new members, and at least one drop-out, and me still working on the OOC, nothing yet.

A Sci-fi Merc RP, anyone?

Yeah, that's my fault, I'm afraid. I intend to explain it in the OOC in detail with all of those. For now, I suggest just waiting on it.

I will say this though: 26 planets, About 4 or 5 factions, and any position you might picture in a crew, or an organization of some kind.

So I am not going to claim that I read the whole anime weeboo argument that went on here but from my understanding is that this all started because someone said you cannot have dragons in a sci-fi setting and still have it be good.

*cough*

"Shadowrun: Dragonfall"

*cough*

Anyways I am interested.

Drakel said
I saw that and I was highly considering on quitting as well because of it. I don't mind anime or Fantasy races, especially for images or even theme; but if you don't even try to make it realistic, especially for a sci-fi RP than why are you even trying to RP in sci-fi? That's basically what I think on the issue.

With that I will be RPing as my Sci-Fi version of a Wraith and might even add in my sci-fi version of a Draconian when I find my CSs. I'll show da kiddies how it be done lol :P

In my personal opinion, I believe that anything from Fantasy or any genre can be converted and used for Sci-fi, and yes, realistically so, if you just stop and think about it.

Believe it or not, Dragons, I find, is actually a very easy aspect to be converted. When you get down to it, when remove the magic, and the mysticism around them, A dragon is simply a reptile that undergone an evolution, most likely through adaptation, that gave them superior intelligence, the ability to fly via wings, and the organic capability to ignite the carbon they breathe out.

I say this because I intend for a Draconian or two or three to be in this. ...4 counting the possible one by Drakel, and I'm kind of interested in how you go about it, Drakel.

As for you Jinxlynx. ...You are welcome to join, but now the Interest check's amount is CLOSED. All room has now been filled.

Always Room XD

No, not always. The last time I kept the floodgates open the RP seemed to have drowned.

MetalMama said
I would like to join if there's still room

That said, You'll probably be the last one I'm accepting.

And what did you hear of me in exact? O_o

I set my expectations pretty low for people I haven't met or don't know well. I guess that makes mine easy to reach but hard to surpass at the same time. Like you, I do hope you and your fellow RPers don't disappoint, after all it is a team effort.

Glad to see my brother has been entertaining everyone and helping out where he can. I do hope there was no trouble at all thus far, I can see quite the crowd was also drawn here and even though I read only the OP after my invitation here, I can only imagine the fights that may happen or the praise that may have been celebrated before my arrival. I do hope my reservations were in order thus far. Or am I already late for the ride?

Stryder and I don't bounce off each other, we just work well naturally and he's probably hitting his head on the desk to the point where his head bleeds cause he knows exactly the character I plan on bringing lol xP

I took a look at your first post to on Teen Titans: A New Era. Needless to say, you gave me a good first impression, at least as far as length is concerned. I can tell you know your stuff.

Oh no, you're still a little early. ...Although I admit I SHOULD probably stat closing the gates now.
