I know that I really love Stargate but I also know that a lot of others do as well.

So, I'd like to propose a concept here...  We've seen Stargate based on military helping people, now we have in Stargate Universe the "Lost in Space" concept that is quite compelling.  However...  I want to do something a bit different...

Shift in time period...  It is 250 years after Stargate Universe takes place.  The universe is a big place and humans are spread across the galaxy and even into other galaxies.  More than just the Pegasus and Milky Way have been found to have complete Stargate networks.  Some by automated ships like on Destiny, some already long since established.

A commercial ship ends up in a distant galaxy away from other humans.  They set up a flesh-trade, some slaves, some prostitutes, etc..

I would like to explore this concept in one-on-one as well as group, so I'm going to post this in both areas and see which pops first.

I love Stargate, this could be good fun.  I will certainly keep a watch on this :)
Looking to write.  Sometimes life catches up with me.  If it does I will be back...

Sounds like something that would fit a minor Goa'ould, rather than the Stargate types :)

Fair fame of one who has earned it.

Hello all, I have been a bit busy for a few days with school...

Alright, so there is plenty of interest here and that makes me very happy. :)

So...  To address the one issue of the g'ould....  Yes, it is more like them, but I want to be more human about it, I want to have the game explore the places the human mind and spirit goes toward this darker side of our nature.

So...  Here is the basic list of characters I'm looking for...

A CEO and his 2nd.
2 'Chasers' (basically security, they keep the 'assets' in line)
2 'Catchers' (they go after new 'assets')

That is 6 people, I am open to suggestion though.  Thoughts?

It does seem more like we are Goa'oulds though (Which i would be happier playing)

or something that isn't stargate but we somehow stole a gate or ship or something.

I adore playing a dominate hermaphrodite characters, if that is ok for all then I dont mind other particulars but if it ew's anyone out then i will pass and let others enjoy it without me :) witout taking any offence)

bigdean777

I would like to put dibs in on being one of the catchers.  Will follow up with a profile later.

If nobody would mind, I think it would be cool to be the 2IC. Personally, I like the human concept more than G'oald, because they have more depth and its something everyone can channel a bit easier. I like sci-fi, but I prefer to play nearly human characters.

I agree, I think humans have more than enough room to be evil, sick bastards.  Look at the entire history of medieval religions for proof of that.

Kate

fair enough and cold - dont mind if your 2ic

Cyclops

Alright...  So we need a cast list...

Give me a basic idea on what people want to play...

DuhMan

I'm interested in playing. I used to watch Stargate all the time. Though I only have one original character at the moment.

Lotusgirl

Since I like the Stargate series I might be interested too.

But am I correct, the players are the members of the commercial ship, right?  Or are there other groups of playable characters too? (Like the mentioned slaves and prostitutes, etc.)

Cyclops

Either set of roles are available.  Which would you prefer to be?

i will be an archelogists / effectively female equivelent of daniel jackson
if that is ok - if we have more than one in this role i think its ok.

(So i can understand strange artifacts read strange languges etC)

RubySlippers

Mercenary with her own not so state of the art but customized gateship, a Russian-made older model modified up kind of like anything Russian tough as hell to damage with simple elegance and nicely armed. Hired as security for the main ship and to scout but now she gets to have fun.  ;D

Its 250 years in the future I think Earth should make some nice ships by now.

Quote from: Titanshadow"Either set of roles are available. Which would you prefer to be?"

I would like to play an independent bounty hunter (on a planet or with her own small ship) who is hired to bring back those who manage to escape the "Chasers" or when a local scout is needed to assist with the capturing of new "assets".

But since I just saw that Ruby Slippers wants to play something similar, I can play a member of some planet's ruling class who is captured and trained to become a prostitute.

Cyclops

I like that...  Alright so...

We have a bounty hunter, a captured ruler, and an archeologist...  We'll need a few other roles I think...

Anyone else?

The second in command and head of security. Tough and smart, but plays the fool to the commanding officer to hide her intentions of taking over the business for herself.

I have a character who does just about any kind of mercenary work, so she can be either a catcher or a chaser.

Cyclops

Sounds good, I can hang with that.

#24

Name: (Dr) Abby Teeler
Role : Archeologist (Daniel Jackson style knowledge)
Skills : Alien cultures and language.
Sexuality : Bi (domme)
Main character traits: Figity, impatient, crudely-perverted

Background

Abby was a single child from a non-loving family that may as well have been absent. She grew up with considerable money but has more than her fair share of social issues that makes her find integrating into her own culture close to impossible.  Catering for this weakness she burred herself in the culture of other worlds which her own mind found refuge in. Over years this became less an academic pursuit and more perverted a insatiable hunger to know the strange sexuality practices, customs, body changes or ritual effects other non-world races have.

She is consumed with the belief that adopting the more extreme practices or changes she has read of could improve the world and secretly seeks to create more obvious and defined sexual roles of people in general.
Obtaining artifacts that could aid or enforce these views would be things she would be willing to kill over, and rumors of gaining one something she could easily be bribed for.

The idea of others wearing collars or having obvious characteristics concerning sexual organs to imply this is one she often suggests (must to the annoyance of others hearing it many times before).

To her, situations that are highly confusing or heated could easily be solved by everyone adopting her values.

I'd be interested In being one of the catchers or a Freelance type slaver who comes in with fresh slaves. Might take me a bit to whip up all the details. I'm a fan of  the stargate series all of them. and this would be something to test my role playing ranges.

Cyclops

Yeah, so...  Everyone who wants in, get a bio ready and we'll be ready to begin shortly after that.

Lady Samira Kanjoudakai
"Princess of the Kanjoudakai-Clan"


  • Race:                      Human
  • Homeworld:            Bisan IV
  • Age:                        23
  • Height:                    5'5" (165 cm)
  • Weight:                   123 lbs. (56 kg)
  • Hair:                        Black with red streaks
  • Breast Size:             C
  • Eyes:                       Brown
  • Sexual Orientation: Bisexual/Dominant (But when captured she should be forced to become a submissive prostitute)
  • Tattoos/Piercings: A red scorpion tattoo on her neck


Personal Background:

Lady Samira Kanjoudakai is the youngest daughter of Ravana Kanjoudakai, leader of the Kanjoudakai-Clan and ruler of  Khanjar-City one of the four biggest cities on "Bisan IV".

The political life on Bisan IV is a mixture of a democratic senate and modern crime syndicates, although there is the "Bisanian Senate" (and each of the planet's clans has at least one senator) the important political decisions are made by the four biggest clans. (Those four clans are called the "High-Clans".)

Of course since all important decisions are made only by the High-Clans over the years the polictical system became a swamp of corruption, alliances, intrigues and of course war.

And therefore to preserve the clan's strenght, Samira was trained to use every possible chance for her own advantage. No matter if it is bribery, seduction or just brute force, she is willing to do anything as long as she does it for the Clan or her own plans. Samira is manipulative, calculating and ice cold.

That she is ice-cold became quite obvious when she poisoned her older sister Karishma and gave the order for the assassination of her brother Kenji that looked like the attack of a Low-Clan. After the death of her only two rivals, Samira became the number two in the clan's hierarchy.


"Bisan IV" - the planet:

Bisan IV is a planet almost like planet "Earth" .  There are deserts, jungles, swamps and so on.  Cities can be found everywhere on the planet. And each city is ruled by one of the clans, the more powerful the clan, the bigger the city.


The Kanjoudakai-Clan :



Leaders:
Senator Ravana 'The Scorpion' Kanjoudakai and his daughter Lady Samira Kanjoudakai

General information:
The Kanjoudakai-Clan is one of the four "High-Clans" but for foreigners it is nothing more than a huge crime syndicate with immense policital influence.
The clan rules over Khanjar-City, which is one of the biggest cities on the planet and looks like some futuristic Tokyo.
In the city's market district a big stone ring (A stargate) can be seen, but nobody knows who built it  or what it was used for, but now the Kanjoudakai-Clan uses it to tie captured spies or other so-called 'criminals' on it where they are tortured in front of the citizens as some kind of intimidation so that nobody would doubt the clan's authority.


Samira's appearance:
Samira often wears silken gowns and robes or leather dresses. Her favourite colours are red and black, the Clan-Colours.

She often wears a red and golden outfit that looks like this:


Lady Samira is always guarded by at least two members of the 'Praetorian Guard', the Praetorians are the Clan's special forces:
