Three Hours Until Opening

[wandrian-rp]

SPACE!!!!!

[wandrian-rp]

I'm so excited for this! Do you have an updated estimated date you're thinking to open? c:

Ah, yes. We’ve encountered a few delays, and we’re still in the process of finishing up some things. HOWEVER. We’ve got an official open date now. So everyone get excited. Or more excited. EXCITEMENT!

We’re opening FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25TH @ 10PM (EST)

Quick Update

Hey all! We're still working out some final details for the board, taking into account all of your questions and things. We're hoping to open (hopefully) by the end of next week! More details to follow, of course, and be sure to send in your reservations if you haven't already!

Thanks for your patience everyone!

I was wondering about the Military ranks. Are they like Army ranks in the US Military?

Ah! Good question! Ranks are going to a combination of US Air Force and Navy, just to keep things sort of simple. Probably the best we can equate it to would be the Battlestar Galactica ranking system.

Now Taking Reservations for Face Claims

A few simple guidelines for making your reservations:

Send us an ask! We'd like to know the name of your claim, your name or alias, and (if you've decided) your character's name and member group!

You are allowed to reserve up to three faces.

THERE ARE NO CHALLENGES ALLOWED. Please check the claims page to make sure your face isn't already reserved or claimed.

Reserves will last until one week after the open date.

If you have any questions, as always, our ask box is open! We look forward to seeing what you all have planned for your characters =]

I was wondering, and it is probably a stupid question, but are people on earth playable? Or is it all taking place on the ships and the places they land?

It’s not a stupid question! Getting questions like these help us put together our faq =]

People on Earth will not be playable, as the Fleet has no contact with Earth/no means of getting back to it. Gameplay’s going to take place on the ships within the Fleet and on the planets they’re exploring.

This looks amazing! i am pretty excited, i just wanted to ask if there is any kind of civilian leadership in place?

Thanks! There is a sort of unofficial civilian leadership aboard the Mnemosyne. Basically, the military has allowed a few of the wealthy people to act like they’re in charge, but it’s really the military running the show. If that makes sense?

A Mini Update

Figured we'd respond to some of the questions/requests we've been getting, as a sort of general FYI to help you all with character creation.

There aren't any official canons. Basically, you can make any sort of character that falls into the member groups, including the higher-ups in the military. That sort of thing is first-come-first-serve, since, logically, there's only a limited amount of commanding officers in the fleet. 

Currently, we're only allowing humans on the board. Regular ol' humans, with no powers or anything. There's advanced technology, of course, but nothing too extreme when it comes to merging humans with tech.

On that note, the only alien beings the Fleet has encountered so far are the Lucids, and they aren't playable characters. They are the "bad guys." Also no one really knows what they are like.

There will be opportunities for non-human characters in the future, of course. Just not right now. For plot reasons. Mostly because the Fleet hasn't really started to land on planets yet (as that's where the board is starting).

Face Claim Reservations will open FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4th @ 8pm EST. Rules about reservations will be posted when they open.

That's about it for now! We're gonna go back to writing things for all of you. And as always, feel free to drop something in our ask box if you have any questions, concerns, requests, etc.

Thank you all for your interest! We're happy to see such excitement! <3

The Groups

The playable characters on the board all hail from Earth. Meaning everyone is human. The Lucids are the only other beings that the Fleet has encountered so far, and not much is known about them.

MILITARY

These are the people who run the place. Mainly stationed on the battleships, The Horus and The Valkyrie, these are the people who keep the Fleet safe. They are trained to be disciplined and efficient, and they bring the order that is needed to keep things running smoothly. Jobs range from security to command, from babysitting to scouting, and from flying to fighting. Basically, if you've got a rank, are employed by the government, and went through training, you're in the military.

SCIENCE

Ah, the science division. Keeping things science-y. These people are stationed throughout the Fleet, and work in their respective areas of expertise. All sorts of science is practiced on the ship, mostly to keep education flowing, but also for the future of humanity. They're here to improve our way of living, or understand what it takes to keep surviving. Medical personnel will also fall under this category.

CIVILIAN

These are the rest of the people in the fleet. Students, aristocrats, even those pesky black-marketeers who always manage to dig out a spot in places. This category also includes the unemployed, and people who have regular jobs (mostly around the Mnemosyne). People who work the entertainment wings, private security, or are hired under contract of the military (but not actually in the military) would be placed in here, and anyone else who doesn't fit the above categories.

LUCIDS (npcs)

The Lucids are an alien race that are comprised of cybernetic organisms. Not much is known about them, however the main thing to know is that they are seemingly hunting the Fleet. So far, battle between the Fleet and the Lucids has only taken place in the vacuum of space, and no one actually knows what they look like. The only details revealed on the Erratus' computer make very little sense, but it is known that they are controlled by an artificial intelligence.

How's Everyone Doing?

We're still working on tidying up coding and things, and writing more info so you guys know what's going on in game. Is there anything anyone would like to see previewed? Or would people like it if we opened up reservations soon? 

Let us know! We want you all to be as excited as we are =]

The Premise

Earth - Resources: consumed; Population: overflowing. The planet is dying, its people destroying it not only from war and greed, but from merely existing. Living on the planet gets so bad that nations come together to do something about it. The human race needs a new home, and the idea of terraforming a new planet seems necessary. A failed attempt at terraforming Mars brings about the creation of an extrasolar terraforming rig, The Atira, accompanied by two batteships, The Horus and The Valkyrie. These ships, along with a small civilian vessel called The Mazu, are built to leave our solar system and create a home amongst the stars. Finding Earth not suitable, a number of wealthy citizens throughout the globe also fund the creation of a ship, designed to house them and other civilians, as well as provide a place of rest and relaxation. The Mnemosyne is launched with the rest of the fleet, it's large, domed terrarium making it distinguishable from the other ships. Their journey is uneventful for the first five years until they find an alien ship, The Erratus, abandoned. At the core of the ship is a device that they eventually find alters space-time. The Atira and The Mazu are accidentally left behind as the core activates randomly, and what remains of the fleet continues to jump randomly. One of the jumps lands them unknowingly in the territory of the Lucids, a group of cybernetic organisms controlled by a powerful artificial intelligence. After a battle that resulted in a number of casualties, the core activates again, taking some of the Lucids with them. The fleet luckily manages to escape. As of now, the fleet's science division has determined how to make the core stop randomly activating, which allows them to travel normally. Though now that they have lost their terraforming rig, their mission has changed - they have to find a planet already habitable. To top it off, the Lucids are still managing to follow them. What remains of the fleet continues to search for a new home, sometimes utilizing The Erratus' core to move around, sending scouts to planets to look for resources and a potential living space. Each planet brings new adventures, and dangers, and each jump takes them farther from Earth.
