TJByrum -> Futuristic Roleplay Collaboration (5/15/2014 13:54:29)
|
I am not - by any means - a reliable host for any sort of RP. However, I am extremely interested in at least co-hosting a futuristic roleplay. It will draw on inspiration from such media as Star Wars, StarCraft, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Mass Effect. However, there is a multitude of things to consider: planets, systems, species, technology, factions, history, etc - and if any of you are up for it I'd like to collaborate with each and every one of you so we can create something unique. I'm going to provide some basic details and you can discuss, suggest, and add-on if you want to. For consistency reasons, time-travel is a no-go.
Story: I think I want the story's general direction to be about a group of unlikely allies who band together to accomplish a similar goal. I'm not sure how these characters get together, and I'm not sure why they decide to team up, but that's something I wanted to discuss. Anyway, this group of people ranges from soldiers, mercenaries, assassins, vigilantes, businessmen, and absolutely so much more! I had considered a guy named Vixen, who owns a giant but corrupt corporation, has done something to hurt us all and so we decide to team up and take out our mutual enemy. We'd even have our own spaceship. Also, character histories will not be revealed in the bios, as the roleplay will be very story and character driven, and there would be a lot of emphasis on relationship-building. Many of the adventures our characters go on would revolve around the 'Big Bad' but we'd also be confronting our own personal issues, reminiscent of the Loyalty Missions in Mass Effect 2.
Setting: It takes place all across the galaxy. It takes place in the far future, so humans are pretty common throughout the galaxy and are not looked at as 'newcomers'. There are two big factions: the Federation and the Alliance. The Alliance is dominated by humans but spans many other races; they are a strict, military-focused, ever-expanding force who seeks to control the galaxy and promote peace and prosperity, although the corruption within the Alliance may one day prove its downfall. The Federation, on the other hand, was formed by a group of systems who refused to join the Alliance. When the Alliance threatened these independent systems with force they responded by forming a loose coalition to oppose the Alliance. This lead to a devastating war, but it was mostly a stalemate and only through tense negotiations was the war ended. However, there are literally thousands of independent factions, mercenaries, guilds, and more located throughout the galaxy.
My Character: I had considered an ex-Alliance Marine who abandoned the Alliance after 'some event'. He then became a bounty hunter and would become a notorious vigilante in some of the seedier parts of the galaxy. He has been declared a terrorist by the Alliance.
