This is an interest check for a small group sci-fi RP. The RP will follow a small group of mercenaries as they take on a job that will live them questioning the galaxy they thought they understood. Hired by an anonymous source our characters will all believe they are just going on another quick operation, only after they learn that they were not the only mercenary hired for this operation will they begin to question the nature of the job they were hired to complete.

Where:
This RP will take place in the Milky Way Galaxy in the distant future. There will be a centralized United Planetary government, that is mainly run and funded by the superpowers of the Milky Way Galaxy(I will be adding specifics about the super powers as I find the time to flush them out). The Milky Way is home to all types of life forms, so feel free to create your own planet/solar system for your character's race, if you would like to make your race a superpower just let me know, though it will require a little more detail if you'd like to create a superpower.

Who:
This RP will follow a rag tag bunch of mercenaries that are forced to come together after a mission where they were all individual hired to retrieve information from a top secret laboratory. Our characters will be in the dark as to the specifics of their mission and to the fact that they will not be working alone, all they will really know is that they are getting payed a lot of money to acquire some top secret researcher data. Here are the specific roles that will need to be filled: Captain/leader, mechanic, computer specialist, medic, and scientist. While each character will have one main role, characters should be skilled enough to help out with another duty or have another job, an example of this could be that the computer specialist also has a knack for scientific researcher or they are an ace pilot. Characters should also be more then comfortable getting into a gun fight should they have to, unless of course you would like your character to specifically be against hurting others. As I said earlier the Milky Way is home to many different aliens, so feel free to create a character that you really want to play as.

I'd be interested, I'm really enjoying our one on one. What kind of posting rate are you looking for, and is any knowledge of Datk Matter or The Expanse necessary? I'm afraid I've never seen either...

Posting rate depends on how active the group as a whole wants to be, but I am thinking a minimum of once or twice a week.  You don't need to know anything about either of those shows, though if your into sci-fi shows I highly recommend them.

Sweet, if we can get one more person interested then I will work on something for a character sheet and the specific roles we will need. Any idea what type of character you's like to play?

Riven - Illyrian from the planet Illyria.
Her story - She was born and raised on Illyria, a peaceful planet who had transcended violence and war.
There planet thrived in excess in large part due to the symbiosis between the citizenry and the planet. Illyria’s government, made up of a council of men and women who’s soul job it was to commune constantly with the organism that was Illyria. Riven had been apart of this council.

Life spent largely in meditation was blissful and transcending until the outsiders came with their guns, declarations and treaties. Illyria quickly fell to the more spiritually primitive forces, accepting their fate with stoicism and knowing. Only a few from the council were kept alive for interrogation and experimentation, Riven was one of them.

Abilities: empathic and she can dissolve the fabric of reality around her through the power of her mind. This allows her to walk through walls and change appearances. Her mind is very strong and she is still learning what she is capable of.

This is just a rough draft, character development comes to me through play. I’m also open to suggestions.

That's a lot more then I was expecting ;D

I added a character sheet to the first post, as well as some more details about the RP, so take a look and let me know if you have any questions. Also, unless anyone else really wants to be the captain I think I am going to claim that role.

Chantarelle

As you should, Captain! 😜 I’d like to be the medic... I think I can play that part well with Riven, also Riven iis a pascifist by nature although this she struggles with the idea of non-violence after what happened to her planet and her.

Hmmm, this does sound interesting... Is that 4 players including you? I've watched the expanse and love that gritty hard sci-fi feel, but am not entirely confident about replicating it myself... still I would be interested, never even heard of Dark Matters, will have to look that up.

Hmm, other questions, seems like it would be at a minimum, but what sort of smut content were you looking for? Don't need it in every game, but this is a mature forum :)

As for what character I might like to play... I normally lean towards engineer, soldier and scientist types, but two of those involve the harder elements of sci-fi, which is what I was talking about above. Really my characters are inspired by the setting, so I'd like to discuss that a bit more before I really make any decisions.

...which you just added some :P still need to know the tone you're going for, more hard or soft? Sounds kind of softer since you're giving us free range to create whatever :p
If I haven't posted in a day or two check here, maybe harrass me a bit if there isn't a post :p

Haven't got an On/Offs thread, so check my RP preferences instead.

This RP will be lighter on smut, but that does not mean there will be none of it. I can't really say an amount as it will probably depend on the groups collective interest in adding it into the story.

I want the RP to be fun and open to everyone, as I am not a big fan of forcing other people to play inside a box of my own creation. I am going to try and create a path that has plenty of forks and trails for people's imaginations to wander down and take ownership of. The tone of the story will be on the more realistic side of things. I hope this helps.

Today, would you mind sharing a bit more detail on how our characters were hired? Basically I’m trying to decide how reputable my character is; an upstanding individual who got the mission through proper channels, found it posted on some anonymous channel somewhere, was referred to this team from some shady individual, etc...

I’ve got a basic idea in my head, just fleshing out their backstory. I’m hoping to double down take on the roles of computer specialist and mechanic, if no one has objections. I’m kind of imagining something like a Shadowrun decker, his main way of participating in combat would be through drones and gadgets.

All characters will be contacted by the anonymous person with a deal that will be too good to pass up along with the location of the assignment. A character's past does not really matter, as long as they in some way stand out from their peers, so you can have a goody tissue, a cold blooded killer, or a soft spoken genius. The crew is meant to be rag tag and filled with people from all walks of life. Does that answer your question?

I’m going to have to attach myself to the Captain and vessel for this concept.

Name: “Plexi” Autonomous Interstellar Caretaker Model #PL3101
Race: Robotic Organism
Age: 162 (Updated Software and Refurbished Chassis 4 Years ago)
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Omni
Weapons/special equipment: Internal Welding Torch, Full Aerospace Toolkit at her fingertips, Computer Access Plug, Storage Space in Left Thigh for tools/weaponry, Magnetic Dermal Plating on Hands and Feet for Zero G Work, Grapple and MonoFilament Wire, Large Supply of Nano-Steel Foam (typically used to plug small holes in hulls or adhere patch sheets over larger ones), Small Render 3D Printer (Can Craft Tools/Items 10x10 inches)
Primary Skill:  Mechanic
Secondary Skill:  Secondary/Auto Pilot and Chief Culinary Officer (a position she made up for herself)
Personality:  Originally modifiable to suit the preferences of the command staff, Plexi cleared the bare minimum requirements of legal sentience after the UPG Supreme Tribunal ruling in “Dullea V Culinary Droid #HL2819”. This legally allows her to exercise her free will or reasonable approximation of it as she sees fit.

Plexi is cheerful, accommodating, logical and fearless to possibly unhealthy levels psychologically speaking. The friendly bot very much wants to help her crew, and is fiercely protective of them.

Despite her demeanor however, she runs a constant cost benefit analysis that can be inflexibly logical. She has no fear or remorse for making hard choices on behalf of the crew if she deems it is for the well being of the majority.

History: The Autonomous Interstellar Caretaker Model quickly became a staple for long distance travel. Upon its release on the market, it rapidly was made into a requirement for insurance coverage on vessels that intended to utilize hyper sleep travel. Base models were skilled mechanics who were programmed to handle day to day minutiae and maintenance with aplomb, yet also make rational split second choices in a crisis situation.

Other than cosmetics, the design for the base model has remained unchanged for over two centuries, though upgrades have been made to the material components and neural system. Plexi has served on two previous vessels, before being decommissioned and “set free”.

87% of the “lower sentient” droids that were released from their bondage after the robot rights movement, immediately applied for employment with their previous owners, finding comfort in their previous roles. Plexi was amongst them, missing the cold quiet of space and the welcome burden of accounting for her ship and crew.

To speak of Plexi herself, she has one “black mark” on her record in which she abandoned her crew rather than risk the chance that the scientific data and stellar charts might fall into the hands of hostile life forms. The Insurance Bureau agreed with her findings that allowing a hostile race to know the location of the UPG planets was unacceptable but it remains something that tends to concern her current crew.

In addition to her mechanical brilliance, she can upgrade herself to rapidly learn additional skills. She has experience with firearms usage and unarmed combat as well as the cultural diplomacy and linguistic disks for all known races within the UPG.

Galactic Druid

Name: Charles Delgato
Race: BOB
Age: 31
Gender: Male
Appearance: 5 foot 9 inches, Blue eyes, one noticeably brighter and paler than the other with a feint glow in dark conditions, brown hair, aside from a small patch in the back of his head, just above his neck, where it no longer grows, with a small scar, a small jack just below his right ear, mostly concealed by his earlobe unless one knows where to look. Average build, tends to prefer jumpsuits or flight wear
Sexuality: Straight, with a particular interest in transhumans.
Weapons/special equipment: Neural interface and ocular implants that allow him to remotely control and see through his drones, as well as a neural jack that allows him to plug in to and directly interface with most modern computer equipment (I want to say USB, but chances are by the time this RP takes place in, there will be a different universal port), energy shield on his right forearm that expands to an 18 inch circumference. Builds and maintains a variety of drones for ship repair, hacking, and combat purposes, but can only carry so much at once.
Primary Skill: Computer specialist
Secondary Skill: Mechanic
Personality: Outgoing if he knows and trusts you, protective of friends, somewhat introverted and cautious around people he doesn't know
History: Charles is a 2nd generation BOB (born on board) from the Commonwealth Outpost No. 2 space station, one of several mining stations set up around fringe asteroids to collect resources, and then abandoned by their parent companies when those resources ran dry, along with any 'non-key' employees. Stations like Commonwealth 2 exist across the galaxy, surviving off trade, odd jobs, refueling or recharging passing craft, and other such jobs. Some stations have managed to flourish as gambling dens, sex trade hotspots, or with other services harder to come by in 'civilized' space, with Commonwealth 2 being no exception. Often, citizens on such stations need to have a certain level of mechanical know-how just to keep their own life support systems running, and Charles is no exception. Being a BOB, Charles lacked the bone density and muscle mass of humans born and raised in proper environments and gravitational systems. Despite his best efforts to stay in shape, he found himself having to rely on cybernetic enhancements in his adult life, especially during off station work, many of which he's made his own personal modifications to. Most of his implants were either purchased or salvaged from various jobs. He's carved out a living for himself doing odd jobs across the station, most of which involved various repair or computer work. He has a fascination with drones, and even built and modified several of his own for various purposes, most of which involve making repairs in hard to reach places.

With all nature of lowlife being routine on Commonwealth, Charles is wary of strangers, especially anyone tied to a corporation. He's not above working with them if it means getting paid, but given the stations history, he hardly trusts any of them, and is well aware that he is viewed as expendable. He's been off station a handful of times, most of the few times he has involved some kind of corporate espionage work, which his control of his drones proved very useful for. He's only barely started making a name for himself when he received this most recent job offer.

Notes: Not super committed to the name just yet, may change it. If I find a picture I actually like, I'll add it.

History: Charles is a 2nd generation BOB (born on board) from the Commonwealth Outpost No. 2 space station, one of several mining stations set up around fringe asteroids to collect resources, and then abandoned by their parent companies when those resources ran dry, along with any 'non-key' employees. Stations like Commonwealth 2 exist across the galaxy, surviving off trade, odd jobs, refueling or recharging passing craft, and other such jobs. Some stations have managed to flourish as gambling dens, sex trade hotspots, or with other services harder to come by in 'civilized' space, with Commonwealth 2 being no exception. Often, citizens on such stations need to have a certain level of mechanical know-how just to keep their own life support systems running, and Charles is no exception. Being a BOB, Charles lacked the bone density and muscle mass of humans born and raised in proper environments and gravitational systems. Despite his best efforts to stay in shape, he found himself having to rely on cybernetic enhancements in his adult life, especially during off station work, many of which he's made his own personal modifications to. Most of his implants were either purchased or salvaged from various jobs. He's carved out a living for himself doing odd jobs across the station, most of which involved various repair or computer work. He has a fascination with drones, and even built and modified several of his own for various purposes, most of which involve making repairs in hard to reach places.

With all nature of lowlife being routine on Commonwealth, Charles is wary of strangers, especially anyone tied to a corporation. He's not above working with them if it means getting paid, but given the stations history, he hardly trusts any of them, and is well aware that he is viewed as expendable. He's been off station a handful of times, most of the few times he has involved some kind of corporate espionage work, which his control of his drones proved very useful for. He's only barely started making a name for himself when he received this most recent job offer.

Notes: Not super committed to the name just yet, may change it. If I find a picture I actually like, I'll add it.

I like him, I was almost done with my own character, but then I got side tracked working on the setting ;D

Just wanted to let you guys know I have started to consolidate the lore for this RP here: https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=287476.msg14132586#msg14132586

Also here is my character:

Name: Jasmine Stone
Race: Anthro, the anthro are a race of bipedal predatorial animal people that originated from a forest world in Asgaurd system. While the anthro are a lot like humans they do have a few distinct differences, such as eye sight and increased agility. The anthro are not a very strong race on their own, so they have created an alliance with the Elves of Asguard. The Anthro can be found working as basic laborers on most planets that except them.
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Appearance: Most of the time Jasmine wears a pair of black BDU pants or jeans with a verity of tank different tank tops. For combat Jasmine adds a black flack vest equipped with a small personal shield capable of blocking a few rounds form most small arms fire before has to recharge. 
Sexuality: Bisexual
Weapons/special equipment: Assault rifle and a compact sub-machine gun
Primary Skill: Leader, Jasmine attended officer training at the United Planetary Peace Force Academy, this combined with her natural ability to lead by example makes her a very strong leader.
Secondary Skill: Electrical engineer, during her time at university and officer school Jasmine studied to be a electrical engineer.
Personality: Jasmine is the type of person that keeps her mouth shut unless she has something to say. Jasmine’s quiet, calculated personality has led many to question her ability to lead, but every soldier that has ever served under her agrees that when she speaks shit gets done. It takes time for Jasmine to trust others, but she is faithful to those who earn her trust. Though she isn’t big on spending time goofing off, every now and then Jasmine does try and relax, a little.
History:
Born to a poor family on the great city planet of Eidem Prime, home world of the United Planetary Government, Jasmine had to claw and fight her way through childhood. Even though they were poor and spent most of their time working, Jasmine’s parents worked hard to ensure their daughter attended public school and learned as much as she could. Thanks to her parents constantly pushing her to learn and better herself, Jasmine managed to secure a scholarship to the United Planetary Peace Force Academy.

At the academy Jasmine’s drive and hard upbringing, earned her a place as one of the top students. Graduating as a lieutenant, Jasmine started her military career as an officer of a small peace keeping battalion on the edges of the galaxy. As an officer Jasmine quickly learned the true nature of her job, to sacrifice others in the name of galactic peace, as even though she was trained in military combat the United Planetary Peace Force’s rules of engagement made it illegal for any soldier to fight back with deadly force. Not willing to put her men in harms way in the name of peace Jasmine quickly fell under scrutiny from those above her. Her unwillingness to lead her men the way she was paid to cost Jasmine her military career, earned her a one year stay in prison, as well as a dishonorable discharge from the Peace Force, but her fall saved the lives of her men, lives the government was more than happy to sacrifice.

Jasmine has only recently been released from prison and begun the process of rebuilding her life. With a record like her own, honest work is hard to find, so Jasmine is using the skills the Peace Force never let her use to earn a little money to keep herself fed and clothed.

Aww damn playing an Asguardian is tempting. Either a giant, or maybe Loki...

But naw, I like what I've got so far.

They're elves, not Asguardians like Thor :P

My goal in this game is to get my hands on mjolnir and make it into a drone. Or maybe Gungir. That wouldnt be broken at all.

I am a little confused too. I think he is just joking around because I named the elf government, the Elves of Asguard.

Just to make it clear the mythical Norse realm of Asguard, is not in this RP, I just stole the name Asguard as I suck at naming things and liked it :P

Yeah, I'm pretty much just being a butt, but I really do like the idea of high tech norse mythology. I may keep that on the backburner for a future request thread, lol.

Can we at least have an elite all female fighter pilot squadron called the Valkyries?

Also, I am planning on starting the RP tomorrow or maybe Monday, depending on what rl stuff I can get done today.

Just wanted to let you guys know I am currently working on setting everything up and should have the first post up tonight.

Also while you wait I thought I'd share some ideas and see which of these ships you guys like most, also I love seeing what other people can find  ;D

I like the first, it's got that cool almost millennium falcon look, and looks like it may have a liiiitle extra crew space. The second is nice, but almost seems too "new" for a ragtag group to start with.

How is posting going to work? The last freeform game I ran we used kind of a cycle system. The GM would post, and everyone could post once or twice before waiting for the GMs next post. It gave enough wiggle room for interaction while still letting the GM smoothly run things. It worked out really nicely and was fun.

I agree. It really depends on our benefactor, but I prefer the rough utility look of the first one.

What I am thinking, and let me know what you guys think of this, is that at the start of each big GM post I will put a list of our characters names in order, this will be the initial order in which we will all post in. After everyone's initial post, characters would then be free to interact at a more free rate with limit and pace being controlled by the each character's setting, as each character might need to post a little more or a little less depending on where they are and who they are interacting with.

Can't it be both? =p

I mean I guess, but as GM I won't really be facilitating anything extreme.
