Story The Fall Of Earth

I am currently writing a novel based on the destruction of my homeworld, Earth.
The Fall Of Earth is a novel based on my future adventures in Starbound, and I'm looking for other Starbounders who are willing to participate on this idea. The skills needed would be as simple as basic storytelling, creativity, and an aptitude for role-playing. Should you feel good enough for this, let me know, as I need help to create this novel.
The collaboration I need are as follow:
-Characters (A more detailed list will be posted later)
-Backstory (For major galactic events and races)
-Artists (That can represent the events of the novel through drawings)
-Timeliners (To keep track of when and where events happen throughout the story)

Here's the link to the Recruitment Thread, please post your applications there!

Update: It's easier for me to begin writing stuff about the characters if your avatar is a preview of your character in some way. Preferably from the Official Starbound Character Creator!

Going to divide the characters into their factions, teams, clans, corporations and whatever. Remember, if you want your Clan or Corp to appear in the story, make sure you contact your Clan/Corp Leader and get him/her to give permission.
Some clans, corps, factions, and teams are going to be created for the story.
The "good guys" are the crew of the Montezuma Frigate, owned by Commander Rodrigo Borges.
Also, I need female characters as well as Avian, Floran, Glitch, and Apex characters to populate the story.

If you want any of these positions within the story, please post in the comments. First come, first served.


Montezuma Frigate Crew (Main Good Karma)
Commander Rodrigo Borges
William "Billy" Jones (Apprentice)
Second-In-Command -Female Human-
Navigator -Female Glitch-
Research Specialist -Male Hylotl-
Doctor -Male Avian-
Engineer -Male Floran-



Cæsar Leviathan Crew (Main Evil Karma)
Commander Skorge
Second-In-Command -Female Apex-
Navigator -Male Glitch-
Research Specialist -Female Human-
Doctor -Male Human-
Engineer -Female Hylotl-


Note: These are just 2 of the many character groups that have been created, I just need these populated ASAP so I can continue writing each character's backstory!

It seems the characters are coming up nicely, but I also need some Backstory folks! As much as I'd love to work on everything myself, I just can't! That's why I'm asking your help to expand the Lore of this story!
Give me backstory for your characters, events, conflicts, discoveries, wars, religions... Whatever helps bringing the story to the next level!!

If you want to contact me, email me at guigo95@hotmail.com or add me on Kik as rmsborges
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Commander Rodrigo Borges

 

If this is more RP, it belongs in the RP section. :/

 

I will use the principle of Roleplaying only for character creation. This is a novel that belongs to every Starbounder, so anyone can help.

 

Character Application Form:
-Name: Billy Jones
-Age: 10
-Race: Human
-Job: student
-Physiological Profile: Likes Pokemon ( who doesn't?)

 

That's a good profile, welcome aboard Billy!

 

Yay! my character going to be in a book

 

Character Application Form:

-Name Ken Sukisaki​

-Age 16
-Race Hylotl
-Job student of his sensei Kakashi
-Basic Psychological Profile ninja, masters the art of swords, obsessed with women and constantly trys to hit on them and always gets rejected

 

Character Application Form:
-Name: Headphoner
-Age: 16
-Race: Human
-Job: CEO of HeadCo (Student if HeadCo is not applicable)
Basic Psychological Profile: Never takes off his headphones. Constantly carries his revolver, Redshot, and his sword, Hedrusa. Loves to make things explode and build from the wreckage.

 

@1st OP post

By roleplaying, does it also include you acting in front of a recording device? Hope you have FRAPS-ing this novel.


Apologies if I have derailed the idea.

 

Sounds like Brock from Pokemon. Well, as long as the Naruto stuff stays out of it, sure, welcome aboard.

 

Nice! I like the headphones thing, I can probably use that. HeadCo CEO it is!

 

Roleplay will take part during the game, and from the events, interactions, dialogues will come the story. No, I won't record it. Don't worry, right now I need ideas like yours!

 

We need to talk. I can see Headphoner and Commander having a "Old Friends" relationshi. Let's talk through forum private messages.

 

Character Application:
-Name: Sapphire
-Age: 20-ish
-Race: Human
-Job: Former military, was special ops.
-Basic Psychological Profile: She acts afraid of contact with people, she normally hides and waits things out versus direct confrontation. Her first priority is to stay alive.

 

Finally a girl comes up.. Hahaha welcome anoard.

 

Out of mere curiosity, can I suggest multiple characters? I have pages and pages of them on word documents.

 

It's a good idea, but the main thing of the novel is the interactions between Starbound players. Roleplaying will be a huge part of the story. I mean, you could send me or Headphoner some of the characters so that we can populate the novel world with NPCs, so to speak. But the main thing would be that you stayed in your character.

 

Is it alright if I suggest a character?

Character Application:
Name: Alnian
Age: Unknown
Race: Glitch
Job: Guardian to a certain unnamed child.
Basic Psychological Profile: Unable of speech, quiet type yet shows affection in weird ways. Friendly.

 

Just a friendly reminder: If you want to contact me, email me at guigo95@hotmail.com or add me on Kik as rmsborges

 

Ooooh!! A Glitch player! Finally... It's an honor, Mr. Legion.
Remember to post a preview of your character's appearance.
