Torn Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Well, not sure. Like I said if it's really good I'll join any RP, however I'm limiting myself to two RP's at any time, because of the workload of uni and actually working. But again, don't make something on my one single opinion. Quote
Falzar Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 I'm just trying to see if anyone would join an RP like that. If no one's interested, then I wouldn't do it. Quote
Luna Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Ooh, yet another superhero role-play. It really depends on setting, background, etc. Quote
John Adams Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 I'm thinking of making a super hero RP. If I do, would anyone join? I'd be interested. ~John Quote
Click This Posted May 1, 2012 Author Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) Hi guys. While I don't particularly want to drain Sal's of even more activity, I just wanted to let you guys know I'm roleplaying over at the Roleplayer's Guild, if anybody's interested. And there are some pretty damn awesome roleplays there. I have to say some of the recent roleplays [here] are very good, but they seriously lacked the activity to make them fun or even work. Again, if anybody's interested, you can find me under my original name, Click This. (I won't be leaving Sal's yet, though. :P ) Edited May 1, 2012 by Lute Quote
Snowskeeper Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 Crap! Crap crap crap crap crap. Okay, I'm officially working on a fantasy/sci-fi RP based off slave-labour, gladiatorial combat, immortal Emperors and a shadowy police force with the morals of a can of tuna. Quote
Click This Posted May 1, 2012 Author Posted May 1, 2012 Wait what? The way you put it sounds silly. Quote
delred Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 Sounds like it could be interesting but would it be a more realistic sci-fi or would it evolve more fantasy elements (magic etc.). Quote
Aliath Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) Wait what? The way you put it sounds silly. However flowery his description, I think it sounds interesting. Edited May 1, 2012 by Aliath Quote
Snowskeeper Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 Wait, what? The way you put it sounds silly. Heh, that was the idea. V_V Uh, Delred, it's going to be serious and have magic in it at the same time. I don't think anyone will be throwing fireballs, if that's what you mean, but things like telepathy, levitation, Mind over Matter (not just telekinises), invisibility and, as mentioned before, immortality, will probably factor in. Also there will likely be mystical creatures. There will be spaceships, gritty downtown areas, zombies (not so much; at the most there will be a few worlds that have been lost to them which you might get an opportunity to visit), soaring high-rises filled with aristocratic people blind to the suffering of the Underbelly, Underbelly protesters who blame the government and, gods help me, the corporations, and other probably-overdoing-it items. I'd love for someone to help me organize the backstory, because right now all I have is a vague Empire with an oppressive Lord Emperor who means well. And, uh, all that other stuff. V_V; Quote

Also, maybe this thread should get stickied, so we don't get the moderators attacking us for bumping it? Quote

V_V But the only really sleek and shiny ones are used by upper-classmen who want to show off their wealthy. Millitary and commerce vesseks, unless those commerce vessels are trying to look nice, are usually more practical, and since piracy is a serious problem (overlooking the problem of infinite space) that means lots of armour and matt-black paint. I'm still trying to decide on the level of weaponry available. If I include laser weapons, they're going to be similar to space-swords (you slash with them rather than fire directly at something). They would be capable of cutting through most ships like butter, but they will require ridiculously large amounts of energy to project and be very inaccurate. The kind of weapon found only on capital ships (such as they are) and defence stations, both of which can afford oversized power generators. Quote
Falzar Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 I'm more interested in the psychic idea, possibly mutations or a failed milatairy experiment that they let loose. I think I may be able to work up a character if I can get a better idea on what psychicness entails. Quote

I think I may be able to work up a character if I can get a better idea on what psychicness entails. I described how it came about (somewhat) in the PM I sent you. It's more or less a manifestation of energy within the planets, which can be havrsted to produce unnatural powers. Earth had an unusually large amount of it, resulting in stories of gods, monsters, and lightning bolts flying from mouths. Like any other resource, however, it was in limited supply, and constant use stopped it from having any chance to regenerate. The trace amounts found in other planets, especially non-habitable planets, require a sort of mutation in the brain to access. Earth and Prima are the only planets where all humans had access to some form of magic, without modification or mutation. Quote
delred Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 This sounds like a great RP, I'm really looking forward to it. Quote
Snowskeeper Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 That's actually sort of a brilliant idea. :P Thanks. ^_^ It better be, after three years of work... Quote
Aliath Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) That's actually sort of a brilliant idea. :P Thanks. ^_^ It better be, after three years of work... Three years is a freaking long time, and I don't think I can critique your work with so little information... What I find brilliant was that notion; that mythical creatures and men alike originate from a power within the Earth itself, that can be exploited by alien civilizations far more advanced than our own. :P I WISH I HAD THOUGHT OF IT.

It could've been, but we used it all up during the Medieval ages. V_V That's why the reports of magic diminished drastically over time, as did the Church's power. Miracles were caused by the life force, and without a powerful means of producing them they had to rely on cheaper tricks. Uh, this isn't a godless universe; it's just a universe where the gods don't have much power over the material universe if they have any at all. Quote
Falzar Posted May 3, 2012 Posted May 3, 2012 All right, how long do you think it'll take you to get it finished? In my oppinion, I'd give it a few weeks so finals can get over with. Quote

It really depends on how indepth I decide to go on it. At the least I'll be naming sectors and giving them cultures and the like; at the most I'll be developing planets and talking about the usual names on each one. Quote
