In the words of the walrus, the time has come friends! You’ve all been very patient, and we couldn’t be more excited to start seeing what you’ve all been working on! We are now dropping the main in the tags, so check it out right here:
Into The Black
Take a gander and feel free to ask questions, submit your apps and get excited with us!
I'm so stoked for this! Can't believe it's almost time! I have a question about the App, though: can we put more than one planet in the World Building section, if there's multiple locations that are important to our character? Thanks.
Yes, you can include more than one planet! As long as it’s critical to your character, we don’t mind extra info. Just keep in mind that you probably want to keep some things a bit vague/open for plotting - especially since there will be so many cool planet ideas from other members!
I keep refreshing the page, I'm too excited... XD
Ahh, we’re so glad you’re excited! We’ll likely release the main page around 8pm EST, so check back then for the link.
do aliens exist in this universe? like can we incorporate them into our character’s planet/backstory?
Like we said in our last ask, we don’t want to open the door for aliens until we get out plotting chat up and running so we can decide together how aliens fit into our galaxy. It’s not something we necessarily want you to include in your character’s backstory at this point, since we don’t want it to seem like any one person is writing the alien canon alone, but you could leave your backstory vague with openings to incorporate that in later!
TONIGHT IS THE NIIIIIIIIIGHT
WE ARE SO EXCITED! Yes, all caps are necessary, because that’s how excited I am. We’re putting all the finishing touches on the main as I type this!
will you be accepting aliens?
For now, we’re going to ask that you wait on applying for alien characters. Until we can get the chat going and figure out how aliens could fit into our galaxy, we would rather not open up applications for them. Aliens could be a playable species in the future, but for now, we’re going to say no!
Hi! I saw a while back people were sending in their character concepts, and I wanted to share mine- I'm working on an app for a cheery mechanic from the planet Typhon, a technological hub of sorts. It has a society that revolves around engineering, tirelessly birthing new technology and working to improve that which already exists. The population lives solely beneath the surface of the planet, and the different sectors are connected by underground roads. :)
Ooooh, yes, we love hearing character concepts! Your role sounds great. We definitely need a mechanic onboard the Terminus - especially one from a planet like Typhon! I think the planet could be a really interesting part of the canon for the whole group, and I can’t wait to hear more about it!
Are you interested in a group that doesn’t equate literacy with length? Does app competition make roleplaying unenjoyable for you, but you find that totally appless rps have too high of a turnover rate for your style of rping? Then Into the Black might be the group for you. Here, we believe that the length of your reply doesn’t determine how literate you are and know that rapid-fire replies can be every bit as literate as any other post. Our style of “semi appless” is still first come first serve. You won’t be forced to compete against strangers for a certain position on the ship or face claim.
If any of that interests you, then come take a look at our preview blog!
for the app, can we just make up the planet our muse is from?
Yes! We encourage you to make up a home planet for your muse. They absolutely do not have to be from the one planet we created to get the group started. In fact, both Jean and I have different home planets for our roles!
TOMORROW IS THE DAY! Can you believe how fast July went? Tomorrow night, August 5th, we’ll be revealing the main and opening the submit up for applications. If you’re working on your app or have general questions, now is a great time to ask us!
Good evening, tags! Into the Black is an upcoming rp that will focus on collaborative writing. In our discord writer’s room, we’ll plot and talk together to create stories that highlight all of our roles and foster a community. The group is set on a small spaceship, and our roles are all bounty hunters for the Company, a corporation that aims to rule the galaxy.
Want to learn more? You find our premise and our plot here on the preview blog!
Guess what? We’ll be opening up the main on Monday! Who else is super excited to see all the apps everyone has been working on this month? I know I can’t wait!
Bounty hunters have one job -
- to arrest known rebels across the galaxy and return them to the Company’s home planet for trial. Bounty Hunters are feared and sometimes hated by the residents of each planet. Danger awaits every time a team’s craft touches ground.
Life as a Bounty Hunter is transient. All teams have their own spacecraft that they live on and work out of. Together, they must face each challenge that comes their way or die trying. They have a great deal of freedom due to the nature of their job, but they’re held to the highest standards of success. A failed mission doesn’t just result in a missed paycheck. Too many failures can result in the Company disbanding a team and forcing them to get in line like every other galaxy citizen. Rumors among the teams have some bounty hunters speculating that the Company might even go so far as to try failed hunters as traitors to the regime.
For better or for worse, each mission the bounty hunters receive is a chance to prove themselves. Only time will tell if the hunters are on the right side of history….or if being on the right side of anything matters anymore.
The time has come for round 1 of the star system vote! There were so many great suggestions that this vote will be broken into two rounds. The top 5 winners from this round will go on to round 2, and the winner of round 2 will be the official name of the star system. Be sure to get your vote in!
I have a few errands to run this morning and early afternoon, but don’t let that stop you from taking a look around the preview blog. We’re only a few days away from releasing the main and opening our submit for applications.

It’s the last weekend before we open the main and start taking applications! I can’t believe we’re already here, and I want to thank everyone for your patience and excitement. We’re eager to see the roles you all have come up with! Don’t forget, the guest friendly discord will also open up next week, so you’ll have a chance to look around and ask us questions there!
