Approved Characters Only: Adventure One

[Seiren]

Congratulations! Your character has been accepted and now you are part of the team of R7 authors for what I think will be a great adventure. I look forward to writing along all of you and hope that you find R7 an enjoyable experience. Before we start our adventure I'd like to discuss what the plot is and what I expect from your characters in the future. Some of you have RP with me already, though very briefly, and know how I roll.

I’m the type of GM that enjoys PM’s and assigning individual tasks that help move the plot forward and maintain the element of surprise for the group. So, don’t be surprise if you get a PM from me revealing secrets to help your character. I like to keep everyone on their toes. I also respond to what your characters are doing, so if you take a direction I did not anticipate I will follow and make it interesting, as well as put you through hell if your group seeks more combat than exploration and storyline.

You can die in this RP. If you take your character on an unlikely path away from the group you will die, you will be warn of course before I kill you, and you will have the chance of being resurrected as a clone but you will be punished and lose skills or even your special power. So, try and stay with your group and work together as a team. On the same note my character can die too, and that will very much complicate things for everyone.

Our roleplay game is very simple. We are aliens seeking a way home, that happens to be hunted by the meanest, most powerful, galactic empire we’ve ever encounter. They want their ship back. But my character says no no, they can’t have it, not until she makes sure every species onboard is awaken and safely return to their home worlds. A very simple task, not!

I like to think of our RP game as a series of adventures, where everyone has an opportunity to be GM, and have an adventure were the storyline centers around their character. I’d like for us to take turns as GM. Of course this is optional, nobody is obligated to GM, but I welcome any Co-GM’s to help continue the idea. For each adventure we have I’ll open character applications and seek new species to join the crew or be one time adventurers. Think of farscape and you get the gist of what I mean.

So let’s get planning!

Adventure One: Who am I?
GM: Seiren

Plot - Your character wakes up aboard a spaceship but they don’t remember who they are and how they got there. Your only guide is a stranger name Jeav Saii, she claims to be the commander and reiterates the conditions of the ship; a deadly intruder has boarder the ship and is hunting everyone down. She guides you to your equipment and tries to help you locate the intruder.

As you move through the ship you remember flash backs of your life revealing who you are and where you come from, and even your skills and training. But as you explore deeper into the ship you enter the farm, where thousands of alien species are kept in cryopreservation stasis, but what shocks you the most is the one that looks exactly like you.

There is no time to ask questions, the Kamitracker is planting bombs all over the farm, Jeav Saii comes up with a plan to prevent the Kamitracker from exploding the farm. All of you work together to follow the plan, eliminate the Kamitracker and save the ship. If you succeed you get the answers to your questions, you learn why you are there, and how to find your way back home.

Any questions?

Alrighty! The starting post will be posted between today and Monday the latest, we should be starting by Tuesday. Also like to let you guys know the weekends are extremely busy for me and so I won't be posting as much.

I expect two more to join us soon. I plan to separate you guys into two teams, both will have different goals. I'd like to know who here is interested in combat and who is interested in exploration/storyline?

[Imperial Waltz]

Unless your gonna split us up we'll call spots on the exploration/story parts. We're more then capable in combat I think but I think the story side of things would better fit our writing style.

My opinion at least, whats your opinion Ad?

Also thank you for having us. :)

[Seiren]

Am happy to have you! The question is for everyone. I want to get a feel of what styles of roleplayers I have in the group. Personally I'm into character growth and exploration than I am into combating.

I also want to request; can you guys write the location of where your character is ((OOC)) when you reply to your post? The last time I tried to design the schematics of the ship and give each location a room but it got very confusing figuring out who needs to post where. This time around if you are in main engineering then add ((main engineering)) before you post, if you are in ((the Farm)) or the ((artillery room)) etc. etc... you get the idea. :)

[Imperial Waltz]

I prefer story driven stuff, character growth and such. Though I don't mind combat and actually enjoy writing action scenes.

And will do. :)

Edited my profile a bit, hope you like it.

[pathfinder Z]

I don't mind either way.

[Imperial Waltz]

Whats the ship like? Star Trek clean and shiny like? UNSC utilitarian and efficient? Dead Space utilitarian and fairly bleak looking?

[Seiren]

For some odd reason the image of the ship would not load and so I had to try and find something that did, but here is what our ship would look like. Disclaimer: I did not draw this image and borrowed it from a random search online. All credits go the original artist. I did edit the image to add text and tried to break down the ship's interior design to fit the storyline. I'd say dead space utilitarian and fairly bleak looking, though efficient. Our ship is a massive science ship, but it also has some defensive artillery but the best defense is that it carries flyer-tanks, smaller one or two man aerial crafts equipped with all the best technology Cerimen Grey has to offer. These smaller flyer-tanks are also AI autopilot. Besides the crew the ship's "workers" or "other crew" are AI robots that we program to fix and maintain the ship. These come in all sizes and shapes and do all types of jobs in and outside the ship.

[Seiren]

@Imperial Waltz

Yes, we'll meet some NPC but for now the only other intelligent life on the ship besides the crew are the robots. And the robots are all programed by Sati, she is the only character that can take full control of them (using her special power). For example, they can be hacked and reprogrammed for personal purposes but Sati would know and shut them down. The first adventure is all about getting to know our characters and our purpose as a team, so the focus is mostly on our characters.

I am having a difficult time communicating via PM. Sometimes the site goes down for me, I get an error, or I am told I can't reply to a message right after another. Other times a message goes through but the site tells me otherwise. Currently we are in the process of setting up sub-plots. I'd like for everyone to have individual goals and a personal history with my character. So far I've heard nothing but great ideas that will be included into the main plot. If I've not gotten to you yet its because of the issues I am having with the site. Please be patient I will get to you soon. It looks like we'll be starting by the end of this week, unless I decide otherwise, but I want to have an awesome RP and setting up takes a little effort from all of us.

For now I'd like for everyone to start thinking what galaxy and planet they come from, and write up a short but sweet history of your species (2-3 paragraphs/more would be awesome). I'm looking for species history, not character history. Tell me about your species government, their social status, their technology, about your home world, and even their wars and social conflicts. You don't need to include the Cerimen Grey Empire but if you like to that be fine by me. Keep in mind that CGE is our enemy we are not loyal to them even if we worked with them in the past. When you have something good add it to your profile under History. Thank you!

Heres that info:

Race: Uzonir

Home Galaxy: Kintaka

Home Planet: Uzonia

Occupied planets in Galaxy:

Main planets:

Dinto: Desert planet, high in metal. Temperatures during the day are extremely brutal hence the need for the tunnels that are deep underground.

Uzonia: Tropical jungle planet. Similar to Earth’s tropical areas but on a global scale.

Kriaz: Ice planet, Used for burial services and holy land. Temperature at night drops radically, anything in this climate has the same affect as being exposed to liquid nitrogen.

Amunia: Storm planet with no oxygen. Large hurricane can be seen from orbit. Travels around the planet causing a massive wind storm. This planet has been used to test those ascending to rank of “Saint”. Very old planet with very ancient tests.

Sub Planets and Moons:

Din: Orbits Dinto. Industrialised moon.
Deto: Asteroid citadel.
Kopa: One of five moons orbiting Amunia. Used as a rest stop for travelers.
Sond: Icy burial moon orbiting Kriaz. Also known as the “Hero’s rest”
Cind' ex: Small planet used for civilian housing and male farming.
Oza: Large moon that orbits Uzonia. Has the largest male farm.
Xin: Space station like structure used for weapon development.


Religion, government and military:
These three subjects in the Uzonir species are tied as the same thing. A peaceful race who wish only for the survival of their kind but also have a very shadowy past.
Originally the Uzonir acted in tribes with very primitive weaponry and the occasional sacrifice to an ancient god. How ever the tribes fought constantly for territory and breeding rights. War made the technology of the race evolve at advanced speeds. It wasn’t too many generations before they had developed chemical weapons and began doing severe harm to each other. Gradually driving themselves to extinction. By this time they had developed tanks, jets and all other kinds of vehicles. Males were made to work in factories and weapon development whilst the females fought on the front line and destroyed each other.
Before the race began to go beyond the point of no return a figure known only as the all-mother appeared in documentation and began uniting the race. The religion of the all-mother began to spread rapidly and the plant ceased to fight. With a technological boom the Uzonir began to venture out to the star as pilgrims in search of a land that the All-mother had promised them.
They met many other races on the planets they encountered and learnt how to adapt to the different environments. They erected large monasteries where ever they went. Some of these buildings were known to be several miles long and roughly three miles wide. Each planet they visited they attempted to make the home race of the planet follow the religion of the All-mother. If they defied the race was stomped out and forgotten as heretics. The other races are depicted as demons and traitors in the holy texts of the Indun (holy book).
After numerous planets were converted to the All-mother's religion the race settled down and began to stretch its reach out in a peaceful manner in search of trade and knowledge. The military of the race slowly began to dissolve and the followers of the Indun began to become the defenders of the race. Gradually they took over the government and became the leaders of the entire Uzonir race.

Priestess ranks:
Sister- Lowest rank.
Holy sister- A grunt who has a talent for combat.
Cult of Deception Sister- Survived being a grunt now works as an assassin.
Cult of Deception Holy Sister- A talented killer.
Priestess- A dangerous warrior.
High Priestess- A dangerous and talented warrior.
Saint- A priestess that passed the Amunia test but has no will or talent to lead.
Holy Saint- Talented saints that passed the test on Amunia and could possibly lead the Uzonir
Ancient Holy Saint- Extremely old and extremely dangerous.
The Faith Holder- Highest rank, similar to that of a pope or a king.

The Indun:
The holy book of the Uzonir. It is considered a sin and an act against the religion if one lower than the rank of priestess sets her eyes upon the holy pages. The book contains tales of the races history and secrets that when read aloud during combat is said to enhance the abilities or all Uzonir around the reader. Containing the story of the All-Mother's life and the many conflicts including the hero’s of each war. The book is full of tactics and knowledge gathered from across the Kintaka galaxy.

Uzonir Technology:
Uzonir Tech mainly consists of plasma weaponry and electrified CQB weapons. The space ships used for travel tend to be slim and dark with large purple engines and the outside of the ship is covered in holy marks and symbols. Much of the monasteries are guarded by large plasma firing auto cannons that are linked up to scan the DNA of the intruder and to kill if they are not Uzonir. The weaponry of the Uzonir works best at defending a location or subduing a target.

The sites working now? Yay, now I can finally type up the race history. :P

[Imperial Waltz]

I'll be posting the history soon, just tweaking it right now.

Anyway when are we starting?
