OOC Serik - A collaborative Sci fi RPG

Hwo Thumb · Jun 27, 2014

Woah check out that totally cool logo I drew. Awesome!
Let's play a space game!

RP link here

Welcome to Serik! A hundred years in the future, Earth has been left behind for other, newer worlds. The humans share the galaxy with six other species under the Galactic Republic of Planets. But as the Republic grows, it struggles to maintain control. In a galaxy on the brink of civil war, a variety of roleplaying options await. Players' actions have a real and present effect on the larger RP world. Join us, and together we can tell an amazing story.

There is quite a lot of lore to read up on, and you are more than welcome to skip it. Just be sure to read The Rules, The World, and, if you intend to play an alien, The Aliens.

This RP is sort of loose. There's no "limits" to your character (Stat sheets, rolling dice, etc) so as long as you're not power playing, you'll be fine. The main thing here is just to respect the other players and do our best to make the game enjoyable for everyone. We want to tell a story that all the players can enjoy.

Go ahead and fill out a character sheet. The RP will start as soon as we get a member or two.

The Rules

1: Respect other players. Don't try to take over another player's character or boss them around. In addition, if your characters disagree, that's fine, but don't attack the player themselves, just their character. This is the main rule, we just want everyone to enjoy the game.

2: Don't power play. There's always somebody who wants to play a young, smart, handsome, strong, heroic, good-willed character. That's boring. Nobody likes perfection. It's boring. Don't do it.

3: Keep it clean. Don't put anything into this game that you wouldn't want your mother to read. Mild profanity is fine. Romance is fine, as long as it's kept clean. (We really don't need to know the details of a romantic engagement between a sexy, passionate Kerrik and a strong, manly Farbian. Ew.)

4: Watch you're grammer. nothing botheres me most than incoorect grammer and speling

5: Write well. I don't expect publisher-quality literature, of course, but let's not restrict ourselves to dull cliches, contrived plot twists, and unrealistic characters. As the players, it's our job to keep the story interesting.

6: Stick to the roleplay. As a general rule, most OOC chat should go here, unless it's minor stuff that doesn't interrupt the narrative. Remember that your knowledge of the RP may be omniscient, but your character's is not. Don't try to metagame by having them make decisions they wouldn't make based off of information they don't have.

7: Alternate characters are allowed, but ask the GM's permission first. GM has permission to veto a new character, or request changes to be made. New characters need not tie directly into the current plot thread - You can make a second story run at the same time.

Creating NPC characters is allowed. Although you do not need GM's permission first, if your character is disruptive to the Roleplay, they will be killed off or otherwise removed.

Players have permission to kill off their own NPCs at any time, but must ask permission before killing off an NPC created by another player or the GM.

Sample character

Name: Amso Rakol
Gender: Male
Species: Shorman
Age: 29
Home Planet: Tara II
Personality: Intelligent and resourceful, as well as bitterly sarcastic. He is pretty amoral, willing to hurt others to get ahead. He's reluctant to kill unless it's necessary, but he will defend himself.
Abilities: A decent pilot and good hand to hand fighter. Cannot handle a gun well, but is uncharacteristically agile for a Shorman, and uses a specialized Keska spear. It is a sword on the ione end, and an electric prod on the other. He has been able to adapt his business education to his new job.
Character Bio: Amso grew up on Tara II and worked there as a business consultant before he began to rent a vessel and make his fortune as a merchant. However, recently he has discovered that the building conflict between the GRP and the IPSF creates a demand for weapons, and has taken up gun-running as his trade, working for a shell corporation on Schlora. He knows his way around the streets of Schlora and the stars of space, and loves little more than to disprove the stereotype that male Shormans are weak or tame.

The World
The year is 2155. It has been approximately 100 Earth years since our planet was saved from economic collapse through the help of the Galactic Republic of Planets, a government of six species of spacefaring aliens. Now a part of the Republic, Earth received all the benefits of the massive empire's wealth, including the ability to travel between planets using wormholes, called Serik Gates. All seven species experienced a new golden age.

However, now the extent of the Republic's power is stretched over countless worlds, and it has begun to collapse under its own weight. New factions have appeared, each laying claim to their own planets and declaring independence. The galaxy has become a network of competing governments, businesses, and even massive criminal families. The Interplanetary Secession Force (IPSF) has begun to recruit planets for the movement to leave the GRP. The entire galaxy teeters on the brink of war, and the Republic is desperately attempting to maintain control.

In this infinite frontier, who will you be? Will you be a simple merchant, making their way from planet to planet selling exotic imports? Will you be a smuggler, moving merchandise of a less... legal variety? Will you sign up into the Galactic Military Police Force and dedicate yourself to crushing the terrorists that rebel against the Republic? A freedom fighter seeking independence from the oppressive and corrupt government?

The Aliens

Some fairly rough drawings of each species can be found here.

The Shormans - A race of amphibious piscivores, the Shormans stand slightly shorter than a human. They have a broad head with three eyes and an array of fins. They have three legs with webbed feet, and a strong webbed tail for swimming. Although graceful underwater, they are somewhat impaired on land. Oddly enough, their underwater lifestyle allowed the Katamains to develop independently on the same planet. Shormans tend to be quiet and reserved. Their culture values politeness and generosity, so the Shormans are sometimes mockingly referred to by humans as, "Space Canadians." Shorman reproduce by laying eggs on the surface of the water and allowing the father to fertilize them, which means that they are raised without mothers. Shorman society is female-dominated, but men still do occasionally end up in power. And no, "Shormen" is not an acceptable pluralization.

The Katamains - Possibly the most stereotypically "alien" in appearance, the omnivorous Katamains have large heads with a set of three compound eyes and a pair of antennae. They also have a set of keratin flaps on the sides of their heads, called "tags" that come in many colors. Katamains have four arms and six jointed, insect legs. Because they have so many limbs, their brains have developed the ability to partition off autonomous sections. This means that they can use each part of their body independently with no loss in dexterity. Katamain culture is a stark contrast to Shorman values; This species is well known for their incredible parties and over-the-top personalities. Even if you go home with food poisoning from eating one too many Spiny Ketlishes, you'll never regret attending.

The Farbians - A race of short, bipedal, omnivorous canines, strongly resembling a fox. Technically straddling a fine line between two separate species, half of the Farbians adapted to life in the elaborate cave system below the surface, developing very strong night vision and black fur, and the other half adjusted to the harsh perpetual winter of the world above the caves, growing longer, white fur and sharper, more resolved vision. They can still interbreed, producing crosses between the two extremes. Both species have weak infrared vision as well. Farbians are often regarded as obnoxious, due to the lack of emphasis their culture places on manners, but they really just despise small talk.

The Chipi - These aliens are about the same size as the average human. They have five eyes in total: One huge, center eye, and four smaller eyes in a circle around, providing excellent depth perception. The Chipi tend to be weak physically, but they are very dextrous. They are also well-known for their resourcefulness. In fact, "Chipi-resourceful," depending on context, can mean either incredibly clever and intelligent or cunning and manipulative. Although the Chipi have long since learned agriculture, they are amazing hunters, and exotic hunting is one of the largest sports on their home planet.

The Arriak - A race of gargantuan herbivorous arthropods strongly resembling a praying mantis, the Arriak are a curious race. They communicate emotion not through facial expressions, but through humming or singing through a second mouth under their chin. This leads to many miscommunications, which keeps race relations tense. (Their frightening appearance does not help) Despite this, the Arriak are friendly enough, although many tend to keep to themselves. They place an extremely high value on art, both musical and visual. Their society also values the nuclear family, and is split into very tight social groups, consisting of only a few families.

The Kerriks - The last race to be accepted into the GRP, not including humans, the Kerriks are a race of extremely small, four-limbed batlike creatures. A fluke of evolution, logic dictates that natural selection should have wiped these small creatures off the face of the brutally hostile Kerra long ago. The planet is home to some of the deadliest animals in the galaxy. ("Kerra makes Earth's 'Australia' look like a kiddie pool." - Garrah Skell, GRP representative for Kerra) They have survived using their intellect and their ability to fly about the fray. Kerriks tend to be very hyperactive, and it doesn't help that they're very susceptible to caffeine addiction. The average Kerrik is practically the living embodiment of the "Absent Minded Professor" stereotype.

The Lacertians - Technically a part of the GRP, the Lacertians are often not included in the list. After being almost wiped out as collateral damage in the First Chipi War, they were offered acceptance but steadfastly refused. To this day they remain somewhat mysterious. A race of quadrupedal lizards, the Lacertians mostly keep to themselves. They have only colonized two planets outside their own solar system.

The Planets
A list of major planets. Smaller colonies and moonbases exist in each system, and many systems are not listed.
Green text indicates a GRP planet
Yellow text indicates an IPSF controlled planet

Quann - A massive city takes up over 25% of the planet's surface, but the real feat of engineering lies in the underground labyrinthian metropolis called "Yoshtaka" - Undercity. Population is mostly Katamain and Shorman, with a smaller population of humans.

Schlora - Originally colonized to harvest the massive quantities of raw materials beneath the surface, Schlora soon became one of the largest and most powerful cities in the galaxy, widening its exports to become an interplanetary trading hub. However, about 113 years ago, the planet experienced a revolution, displacing the oligarchy that ruled it with their immense wealth. The power vacuum brought a series of gangs, drug cartels, and mafias into a place of extreme power. The planet is almost entirely run by criminals. Since it was never officially part of the GRP, the Republic refuses to offer help. Primarily Chipi and Farbian population.

Menta - A scientific research base initially established to research new applications for Serik wormhole technology, Menta quickly became a scientific powerhouse. The government contracts most of its research to its bases on this planet, making it a valuable target for terrorists. The increased security has been able to maintain order for now, but it is a tentative balance. Primarily populated by Kerriks, with a significant Human and Chipi population.

Tara - There are two habitable planets in the Tara system. In a curious turn of events, one supports the secessionist forces and the other favors the GRP. The resulting conflict keeps relations between the two planets extremely tense. Families and friends have been split by the political gap, and although both governments would like relations to remain positive, the stark contrast in political policy has kept them too far apart. Population is Farbian and Katamain.

Whittouch - One of the first planets colonized, Whittouch is a beautiful tropical planet, a popular vacation spot for all species, save for the Farbians, who cannot tolerate the higher temperatures. It is a rich planet very close to the GRP capital on Shorma Katama. Main population is Shorman, Katamain, and Human.

Gorrah - Fairly poor, this Chipi planet is a curious place. With an atmosphere destroyed by pollution and an orbit littered with space junk, it closely resembles Earth. Its chief export is technology, such as weapons and electronics, though it has its own system of standardization that means its products are not compatible with conventional systems. Despite their unreliability, Gorrah technology is some of the most powerful a person can get their hands on. Population is mostly Chipi with a few humans. They have remained neutral in the conflict between the GRP and the IPSF

Proma - A rich planet, home to the powerful electronics company, Scio Kio, Proma was independent, remaining neutral in the game of tug-of-war between the IPSF and the GRP until a few years ago. Seeking to maintain control, the GRP attempted to annex the planet, but it refused to acknowledge the Republic's claim. Now, shaken by the Republic's failed attempt to "steal" the planet, Proma has sided with the IPSF. Proma's main population is Kerrik and Arriak.

[Shorma-Katama] - The home planet of both the Shormans and the Katamains, it has become the capital of the Galactic Republic of Planets. In response to the threat of IPSF attacks, Shorma-Katama has massively increased security and military spending around its boarders. It is quite possibly the worst place to be a criminal. Population is, naturally, Shorman and Katamain. The Shormans live beneath the water, in massive underground cities, which have become a significant tourist attraction. (and therefore a dangerously viable terrorist target)

Farbia - A wholly uninteresting planet, Farbia is an arctic wasteland populated only by Farbians and the occasional human or Katamain. The planet's moon actually has a higher population, as it contains many valuable gems and minerals. The Farbians here are solitary creatures, living alone in their underground houses. Farbia is technically part of the GRP, but it is somewhat apathetic to both causes, preferring to stay safe on the sidelines.

Kerra - The Kerrik homeworld is an interesting planet. The local flora and fauna are all extremely dangerous, with life forms ranging from gigantic, firebreathing lizards (Not dragons) to trees with bark made of stone that drop extremely explosive fruits. Because the dense jungles make it an excellent place to hide, it has inadvertently become the headquarters of the IPSF. The Kerriks there don't mind, appreciating the income from taxing the weapons and building materials that the IPSF requisitions. There is also a high population of Arriak, because the high oxygen levels on the planet balance out their increased oxygen requirement.

Queseto - The Chipi homeworld, Queseto, provides quite a lot of support for the ISPF. Because the planet was originally captured by the GRP in the first place, its people would love little more than to see the ISPF gain them their independence. Queseto's environment is mostly desert and savannah, with some temperate forests around the equator.

Arrachus - The Arriak homeworld doesn't explicitly support the ISPF, but it resents the militaristic views of the GRP. The Arriak here think that both groups should work out their issues diplomatically, but they sympathize with the ISPF, rejecting the idea that having one government rule everyone with no appeal or rebellion, despite the advantages. The Arriak planet resembles Kerra in atmosphere, containing high quantities of oxygen, allowing the evolution of extremely massive arthropods, the Arriak included. For this reason, many of them live here, though a few live in other locations. They cannot tolerate the atmosphere of Earth or Gorrah, however.

Sol (Earth) - The human home planet, referred to as Sol by most, is in a poor state. Damaged by pollution and war, it was on the brink of description before the GRP saved it. Sol's people are grateful for the GRP's assistance in providing relief efforts, and sympathize strongly with them, but most humans have moved away to smaller colonies. Humans are the most ambitiously expansive of the races, and have spread themselves across the galaxy in only a hundred years. However, the strongest human population remains on Sol. Human technology is rugged by comparison to the lasers and pulse weapons that most other species use, but their kinetic weapons are extremely powerful, making them a favorite for illegal weapon dealers.

The Tech
A list of some important terms and technologies in the universe

Pocket Computer - Basically a touchscreen tablet, but it folds up into a small cube for easy storage.

Kinetic Absorption Shield (Or Kinshield) - A device that generates a field that dissipates or reflects kinetic energy from nearby objects, such as bullets or asteroids.

Serik Gate - Teleportation gates that allow instant travel from one system to the other. Each can only connect to one other gate, and they have a range of about three light years.

Weapons - Weapons are divided into Kinetic, Electric, Light, Plasma, or Other.

Kinetic: Conventional firearms that fire a physical projectile. High damage, but useless against kinetic shielding. Use most effectively as anti-personnel rounds

There are a few types of kinetic weapons that will penetrate shields. A straight shot with a railgun will go through a weaker shield, and special (but expensive) varadium shells can partially penetrate shields, in addition to stunning the shields on impact. Shockwaves from explosive weapons will partially pass through shields.

Electric: Fire a jolt of electricity. Unreliable, short ranged, and difficult to aim, but it packs a hell of a punch, frying people and electronics. Most useful when mounted on a missile in the form of an emp warhead.

Light: Laser weapons. Low damage weapons that can penetrate Kinshields. Must be held focused on the target to do damage. Because they are both cheap and shield-penetrating, they are a favorite for both civilians and pirates.

Plasma: Fires a glob of hot plasma. High velocity, low mass rounds that will penetrate Kinshields. However, they are quite expensive.

Melee weapons come in a variety of forms. The Chipi have perfected hunting with razor sharp javalins, which can be used for throwing or hand to hand combat. The Farbians and Kerriks, tending to be smaller, more agile creatures, use special knives and even swords. These weapons are, when not in use, dull, but when an electrical charge is run through the blade they become incredibly sharp. The Shormans and Katamains have perfected the usage of a special weapon, similar to a spear bred with a sickle. The long reach combined with the sharp blade and light weight makes these Keskah spears extremely dangerous. Nonlethal variations of all of the above weapons have been developed.

The Archives

This section is where we will keep events and important notes that relate to our roleplay. It will be updated regularly to provide new or returning players a summery of current events.

To avoid confusion, events are recorded in real time. No time/date system has been created for the in-game RP

May, 2014. Tensions mount between GRP and IPSF over custody of Proma. A civilian vessel is attacked by the pirate ship Avalon. However, the vessel turns out to be GMPF ship Darasis-Ali, ferrying an unknown cargo. Both ships have taken heavy damage. The pirates have boarded and currently hold the crew and its captain hostage. No recorded casualties so far.

Significant characters in this event:

PCs Shiro, Longtail Felinity, and Heck Day

NPCs Captain Beaky, Kaya Beaky, and Aaron Daake

Significant plot points in this event

Shiro and her pirates take control of the Darasis Ali

It is revealed that Kaya, Beaky's daughter, is an escaped test subject with a genetic condition called Terikapta. Scio Kio is pursuing them, trying to reclaim them

Shiro and her crew agree to help Beaky defeat Scio Kio and earn their freedom

June, 2014. It is now widespread knowledge that Antero Beaky was the terrorist who attacked Scio Kio. Shiro is returning back to the Scio Kio base on Menta with the Beakys in captivity, pretending to still be working for them. In reality, it is part of a plan to take over the science base.

Significant characters in this event:

PCs Longtail Felinity and Go Ra Im

NPCs Captain Beaky, Kaya Beaky, Captain Mull, Captain Aso

Significant plot points in this event:

The acting captain of the Darasis-Ali, due to a miscommunication, still believes Shiro to be an enemy, and is pursueing her without her knowledge. He has enlisted the help of the Earth colony frigate, Micronesia.

The Micronesia is quickly unloading their passengers to safety on New Switzerland so that they can pursue Shiro.

Terikapta is a Chipi genetic condition that reared its head after many Chipi died during the war with the GRP. It is undetectable and, at an arbitrary point in a victim's life, causes a death over a few days. In an attempt to control the disease, the Chipi government has established that those who may be affected are required to have a tattoo marking them as a Terikapta. Those with the black mark are heavily discriminated against, to prevent them from breeding.

Scio Kio Emergent Technologies is an incredibly powerful research company. Although they have created many scientific advancements, they have some questionably moral research projects

Greskel is a Schloran crime lord, easily one of the most powerful. Specializing in weapon research, he is powerful, well armed, and has friends in high places. Has some sort of connection with Scio Kio.

A few years before humans were contacted by the GRP, the Robot Revolution was a misleadingly titled labor-union turned guerrilla terrorist force. Unemployed factory workers bombed factories using automated workers to replace their labor force to protest the proliferation of robots. The unemployment problem became so severe that the cost of the attacks were greater than the cost of employing workers. After that, severe restrictions were put on robot development.

This had the added effect of limiting AI technology, which some historians suggest as an explanation for why nobody has created a singularity-level intelligence; Yet.

Found it. (It's labeled Thread Tools. The pluralization seems a bit odd considering there's only 1 option.

Anyway, I didn't know that. I'll make a separate thread.

If you want a picture, I can try my hand at drawing out your character once you post them. (Or "Kerrikter") I'm not exactly a great artist, but I'm willing to give it a shot. (Drawing Rakol was fun)

SurealLustHunter · May 2, 2014

Please let me know if I need to change anything about him/her/it ^_^

Name: Shiro
Gender: Female
Species: Human
Age: 20
Home Planet: Sol
Physical description: (See attachment)
Personality: Shiro is a small woman, and assumed to be in her early teens more often than not. She can be quite emotionless and stiff, but she tends to crack when shes either failed her objective or felt a strong surge of emotion (IE: She failed to protect someone, she started to get feelings for someone[most likely she will turn hostile-ish], she was forced to kill a crew member, ect, ect)
Abilities: Shes a crack-shot marksman with about any firearm and a excellent pilot, which has helped her out of many tricky situations. Due to her small and frail body however she is not so keen at CQC and tends to stay at a distance enough for a .50 calibur round to poke her foes
Character Bio: Shiro was born on Sol but was soon moved aboard a starship heading for Menta when the ship was attacked by a band of pirates. The pirates saw the small child, on the ground emotionless. The captain, a stout Farbian by the name of Hemlock, took her in and she began her life as a pirate. She learned how to wield a gun at the age of 5 and how to pilot at the age of 7. By the time she was 15 she could out-pilot almost anyone aboard the ship, let alone hit a target better. Because of the rigorous training and excellent skills, Hemlock had her capture a ship, which to this day is her ship(See attachments for ship).

Sounds good! Shiro and Hemlock have been added to the character index. Since you're the first person to play this RP, I'll need a bit more info to kick this off.

1: What is Shiro doing right now? (I need an occupation and location to put her when the RP starts.) Is she still under Hemlock's command or have they split ways? (And if so, was the separation violent? )
2: Does she have a crew, or is she kind of a lone wolf? To encourage charrie interaction, I think we might want to find her a crewmate, passenger, or some PC to stick with her.
3: Who are some people in her life right now? (Friends, family, maybe a fence she visits to sell her pirated goods?)

if she needs a crew, I can be part of it!

SurealLustHunter · May 3, 2014

Sorry for being late~
1: What is Shiro doing right now? She is currently laying in a plan for an ambush
1a: Is she still under Hemlock's command or have they split ways? She is under her own command, but she is part of Hemlocks fleet
2: Does she have a crew, or is she kind of a lone wolf? She has a crew, and I would love another member to the Avalon(her ships)'s crew ^_^
3: Who are some people in her life right now? Hemlock(Her 'father'/captain), Jazz(Companion/go-to-woman), and Shark(Gunship pilot) are the main people. Plus Warlava50's if he applies and his occupation is of his choice(Just not le captain >.>)

EDIT:

Occupation is merc/pirate and her location is just out of Whittouch (Shes about to ambush a ship of 'happy customers' en route)

We can stick Warlava on your ship as soon as they join. For now, let's get this show on the road! Check out the roleplay thread, where the first post has begun. I kick-started the narrative, so we're ready to go.

If you can spare the time, I'd like to know a bit more about you and your crew. (The best stories are built on the characters, after all, and even NPCs are worth lending a backstory to!) What is your crew like, personality wise? What is your relationship with them, and with Hemlock?

SurealLustHunter · May 3, 2014

All righty~ Sorry for the late reply, EST here >.>

The crew aboard the Avalon is a fun-loving crew really. They sing and drink and overall are a group of merrymakers. Shark often is the center of attention, always drinking a strong alien ale and doing aerial stunts in his gunship. Jazz is a cool-headed woman, who enjoys the company of women to men, and is often seen around her quarters or Shiro's. No-one knows what happens when Jazz walks in and the doors close(Its nothing that bad~). Once they have a job they, however, get dead serious. They focus on the task at hand and wont stop until they've given it their all. Shiro spends her time observing her crew and sleeping, the crew knows what would happen if she were to be disturbed in the slightest(She's particularly homicidal during the wake-up cycle). Her relationship with her father is professional until they talk about the past, then they act like a family.

abilities: engineering skill that can fix almost anything and can use a wrench as a pretty effective weapon, but has a irrational fear of anyone in a white jacket because it triggers a old memory.

character bio: know one knows much about his life before shiro found him floating in a fueless ship. When brought aboard the ship as a prisoner, it's automated brig door was broken, and with a wrench, he fixed it in 5 minutes. amazed by his skill, shiro hired him as her on-board ship mechanic. all he told them about his past was "project mechanic". he usually fixes hi-tech stuff in 2 hours, and normal stuff in 10 minutes.

misc(jobs, interests, esc):shiro's on-board mechanic

(sorry for not much in the character bio, but it will unravel as we go. muhahahaha! p.s. he's not evil, that's just my evil laugh)

Awesome, your character is ingame

Added a tech section to the ooc where you can check out some of the technology you will have access to

Woo! So, my Varanium-shell cannon is all right?

Sure, why not? Just keep in mind that a shield piercing round is going to be expensive, and you'll likely want to save them for high priority targets. Also, they won't work as well against heavier shields, since some ships run shields with multiple layers.

Woo~!

The shells are mostly what she uses to tackle her prey. If the ship is tackled she boards it. If the zone is too hot she'll rip it up some more. And if there are civilians she wont blow it up. They are quite expensive, but like I said, Jazz is her go-to-woman for anything >.> She's kinda like a counselor mixed with fine bartering skill and manipulation to ice the cake

I hope that you don't mind; I've made this mysterious ship a tad bit more powerful than you might have expected.

Maybe it's carrying something worth protecting on board?
