Here is the rundown of what I want to try out. This rp will be done in Dungeon and Dragons play style (to a point). I will write out detailed post on where your characters are, who else is there, etc. Then depending on the situation I might do something to your characters (have someone attack them, etc). Then you would react to that. Here is an example of what I'm talking about:

The room's light were off. A desk lay quietly to the left by the corner and a chair was by it. There were several papers on the floor as well on the desk and the shelf hanging on the wall to the left of the party (this is a reference to players in a group). The light from a computer screen on the desk is the only source of light in the room, the computer is on. The light on the ceiling is broken. There is a large amount of blood on the floor and on the walls. A flash of movement behind the desk might attract the attention of the party.

Now as you can see I didn't go into great detail, but I gave enough info for players to come to their own conclusions about the room. One, someone was here before and was probably on the computer. Two, that person is now most likely dead. Three, the person or thing that killed the former ocuppent is still there.

Players can then react by looking at the papers or computer to find out what the person in the room was doing. Or they could check out what that sudden movement was. Or the play can just leave the room. Its all up to you what your character does.

I won't be actually in the rp, instead I would be making post like this giving something for players to interact with and react to (like NPCs, etc). I think this can be a lot of fun for everyone.

Now since I have been playing a lot of video games recently this rp will have a video game feel. There will be different types of enemies each stronger then the other. There will be different locations the party can go to and interact with NPCs. There will even be bosses for you to fight. I have NO intention of making this easy for anyone. So don't join if you don't like challenges or situations that can't be answered by simply blowing something up.

Also, there will be no plot summary in this thread or any where else. Instead you will have to discover the plot yourself as you play. Remember that example I posted above? If you were to check out that computer you just might be able to discover a major plot point or something that can help you get to something that will tell you something about the plot, which is good if I may say so myself.

All you and everyone else who joins will know is that you all woke up on a random planet... Now you need to find a way to get back home and find out what is happening on the planet.

So what do you say? Wanna join or what?

Any questions?

Player Data:

Known Locations:

The Planet- Highly suitable for life. This planet is rich in resources and life. There are many types of biomes on the planet, but the main one seems to be forest however several forest have been cut down to make room for farms and cities. The climate is moist and humid. There is a lot of precipitation and there are many different kinds of plant life as well as animal life.

Allies:

None

Neutral:
Inhabitants- The planet is largely inhabited by humanoids. Not very advance in terms of technology most are farmers or villagers. While not very advance, strong, or smart making allies with them can be very vital. If you need something like food, water, shelter, etc. they will do their best to help you. So they won't directly help they will provide supplies and even a temporary home. While you will see them a lot they are the second largest NPC in terms of numbers in the game.

These NPCs can become your allies or your enemies, but they will remain neutral until you do something to change that.

Monsters- No one knows where they came from or how they got on the planet. All that is known is that they are highly aggressive torwards the inhabitants. They make up the largest NPC in terms of numbers. Their strength comes in numbers. but thier lack of intelligence makes them easy prey to most attacks.

Some of these NPCs can become your allies or your enemies, but they will remain neutral until you do something to change that.

Mu Cephei Soldiers of the 8th Light Brigade- The planet is within Mu Cephei political influence and in order to gain the planet's support Mu Cephei has deployed soldiers to fight the monster. See factbook for more info.

These NPCs can become your allies or your enemies, but they will remain neutral until you do something to change that.

Aliens- Allies to both the monsters and the Mu Cephei soldiers. No one knows who they are, but some believe that they are the reason the monsters came to the planet and and started killing the inhabitants. No one knows if Mu Cephei is allying themselves with the aliens knowing if they brought the monsters or not.

Others- THere are many other NPCs, but to find more data you have to find them first!

Enemies:

Aggressive Monsters- Monsters that are so aggressive that they kill everything and everyone that isn't one of their own. This does include other monsters.

Items in Possession/Need:

None

Goals:

None

Other:

None

More Information to come as it is gained

What are the rules regarding what sort of characters are allowed?

What are the rules regarding what sort of characters are allowed?

I would suggest that players design their characters to work with other characters. Teamwork will play a large role in the game so be prepared to work with others. Lone rangers are allowed though. So a variety of characters are allowed and recommended, like medics, smart people in general, soldiers, leaders, techies etc.

As to the character itself you may design them as you please. Anything from aliens to humans are allowed. As long as the character doesn't count as a GM I'll let it in. I will only use such a term for a character if said character is said to be immortal, a gun expert, a powerful healer and is the smartest person in the universe, so don;t overpower your characters. You can have more then one powerful skill, but don't over do it.

May I also suggest that most of the items your character brings are survival intended. This means food, water, medical gear, and even small shelters. Unless you get lucky and I'm in a good mood such items will be very hard to find once the rp starts.

sounds interesting, count me in, I assume you will be telling us how to post our character bios correct?

Possibly interested.

Are we allowed to come with a weapon, i.e a pistol or rifle?

Are we allowed to come with a weapon, i.e a pistol or rifle?

This is my opinion im throwing out there but i would assume so, however we would probably only use them in serious situations because this aint a video game, ammo wont be lying around for us

So if its a weapon, then probably a knife or sword or something along those lines then.

my guess is probably yeah, but remember the nature of this RP so there will always be things lying around for us to use, even if its only a rock or a stick

so, pay attention to the wrighting and use the weakest person as a shield, got it!

As he said its not always about blowing something up, there might be situations where its better to run

I know, so we are going to have to tread with caution or risk the viper's bite.



But another question comes to mind, since this is FT, would a lightsaber or some sort of energy based weapon be acceptable?

A blaster, I imagine, instead of a pistol. Not sure about a lightsaber

depends if its classified as a weapon or a Utility, i mean it could easily be used to cut rocks, chop wood and such to help "the group" survive

Sounds cool, I'm down. Could you give us a little more information on what you're looking for from us, though? Detailed backstories, etc?

Well, it might help if we had some sort of an idea of what creatures we will be facing, or the terrrain we will wake up on.

we will have to wait till Mu Cephei is online to answer that for us

bump

count me in.

Name: Ahgnan 277
Race Name: "The Collective"
Race Type: Machines
Description:
Ahgnan was the first of the rebel machines, which instead of following the strict orders issued to them from higher-level intelligences broke away. He (for it calls itself that) uses a personality developed by a foster humanoid race, yet still maintains his abilities to (at a limited degree) process calculations very quickly. One downside of this unit is that it is irreversably programmed with a sleep function, forcing him to shut down temporarily for 1 hour per day to repair the computer units to preserve his "humanity" as it were.

The type of job he was assigned with, as a commanding unit for a large constructor swarm, means that he has 6 seperate limbs attached a central processing/transmitting body, the limbs ending in 4-finger grasping fingers. The main body is a smooth unit 80cm long and 20cm wide, with each limb at 1.8m long. He has since removed most of the transmitting parts, replacing them units capable of higher thought processes, and has also added an artificial vocal unit (think GlaDOS).
Lacking a sense of smell and taste, he uses his skin to hear and feel, and the under-side visual unit to view the world in normal colour (since the UV and NIR units broke down).

The power is collected for him via sunlight falling on his skin, or by direct connection to an electrical source. This direct connection can also be used to access files in other computers and machines, and to signal them (though there is a risk of damage if the machine is intelligent and refuses the connection.)

Hopefully you have the right format lol, I wonder how will we all end up on this planet/station or w/e or do we decide how we come in?

Hot damn! I was not expecting such a response from rp'ers. Now I really have to make this rp good. lol

sounds interesting, count me in, I assume you will be telling us how to post our character bios correct?

Just post some basics, like eye color, hair color, weight, a small background, etc. That should be plenty of info.

Are we allowed to come with a weapon, i.e a pistol or rifle?

Of course! But...

This is my opinion im throwing out there but i would assume so, however we would probably only use them in serious situations because this aint a video game, ammo wont be lying around for us

Very true, but that depends largely on the location. If your near, lets say an infantry barracks you could find some ammo. However, don't expect to find the ammo that fits your needs. I plan on having a brigades worth of Mu Cephei soldiers in the playing area (more details to be posted) so they could be a source of ammo, but their weapons are different then yours. So you might have to ditch your weapon for a different kind, but it will be easier to find extra ammo for it.

my guess is probably yeah, but remember the nature of this RP so there will always be things lying around for us to use, even if its only a rock or a stick

Yup, so you can even create makeshift weapons if you have to. A large stick with a sharp peice of metal at the tip goes a long way.

I know, so we are going to have to tread with caution or risk the viper's bite.

But another question comes to mind, since this is FT, would a lightsaber or some sort of energy based weapon be acceptable?

Both would be fully expected, but don't expect the power sources from such weapons to be laying randomly on the ground during the rp. If they don't need to be reload or recharged or whatever then bring them.

A blaster, I imagine, instead of a pistol. Not sure about a lightsaber

Most kinds of weapons will be allowed, just be sure it will work for the long term and not the short.

Name: Johan Telfore
Age: 26
Height: 5'8"
Eye color: Green
hair color: Black
Race: Human (Genetically engineered)
From: Empyion (Home world of the PLANT's, a Nation made up mostly of genetically engineered people NOT SUPER SOLDIERS)
Occupation: Mobile suit/fighter pilot, basic infantry combat skills including basic medical, education background includes a degree in geology
Equipment: Standard pilot suit/light armor
Weapons: Two small knifes stored in pockets on his forearms, energy pistol w/three energy packs estimated 12 shots per pack

Bio:

Assignment and the designation as a lone wolf by high command allowed him to detach from the battalion he was in and pursue criminals, and other fugitives between the stars if requested. However his main duty was to preform special forces operation deep behind enemy lines with a stealth craft.

Before he was given this assignment he commanded a platoon of his own in the 87th mobile battalion. He commanded respect from his men because he was laid back and kind when not in the field. When he was put into battle he would lead his men and not give up any ground to the enemy, he would hold if there was the chance of winning. He has been known to run if staying meant a 100% chance of death.

In his personal life he has a wife and two daughters back on Empyion. He keeps a photo of them in his cockpit when ever he goes into battle. He has always been concerned with his family's health, it has been known when one of his daughters fell ill he spent a years worth of shore leave in order to be with his family.

Name: Lance
Age: 16?
Height: 5'6"
Eye color: Grey
Hair color: Light Brown
Race: Humanoid (Larizan*)
From: Ragnar**?
Occupation: 5121 Light Infantry Birgade
Skills/Advantages: Athletic, 20/20 vision, average IQ
Disadvantages: clausterphobic

Bio:

Lance was found in the ruins of a destroyed village on Ragnar by advancing soldiers towards the end of the Tarzis Uprising***. Shortly after the end of the uprising, Lance was placed into an orphanage. He is often quiet and suclusive, speaking only when needed and when someone is in danger. He has no memories to as to what happend ten years ago, all he remebers is waking up in a burning town.

After ten years, he left and joined the Ragnar Defense Army. After nine weeks in boot camp, he was assigned to the Light Infantry Corps IV. Due to his seclusivness, it is often hard for him to make friends and for others to trust him.

* Larizans are a branch of the human race, but with stronger bodies that allow them to take more damage that would otherwise kill an oridanary human outright. Due to their genetic make up, they are able to excel in athletic sports, thus causing their permanent exclusion from the Olympics in 2322.

** Ragnar is one of seven planets that is part of the Confederacy of Lariza.

*** The Tarzis uprising was a failed communists movement that was quickly subdued on Ragnar's 23rd Province.

Can you please tell us the environment we will be starting on?

That way we can pick the clothing required for the weather, plus equipment.

Sorry, I'm gonna have to pull out of this.

Thought I'd say rather than just disappear

isn't the point of it for us to be surprised at what we will end up in?

Sorry to lose you. I was thinking of making a series of rps like this one so maybe you can join the next one.

Yeah, but a few details will be nice and don't worry. I have a lot of surprises for all of you.

I have updated the Player's Data section. What do you think? Is there anything else that you would like to know?

Sorry, didn't see these post before.

Welcome to the game!

Looks good, I already have a Idea for how I end up planet side, plan is my guy is on a mission when he is pulled into the planet. Upon entry the fighter is destroyed except for the cockpit module which crashes into the ground and found by the group or some one friendly.

Okay, would you mind being found by the other players? I'm hoping everyone will work as a group and work together. If you really want to you can play as a lone wolf if you want.

Thats what i was planning on, being found by others, my thinking is the crash would knock my character out, they pull me out and bring me to some small camp of theres and go from there

Everyone, I'm thinking of starting the rp on Friday, but I'm not sure. It would allow everyone to take advantage of the weekend to post an intro, but I have an after school program so i won't get back home until around 5 to 6 p.m. (GMT -5).

Name: Javoh Terrek
Age: 35
Height: 178 cm
Eye color: Blue
Hair color: Brown
Race: Human, Enhanced
From: 31Z59Y Tarandi Prime
Occupation: Imperial Assassin
Equipment: Nanite enhancements (Microfibral muscle, neural interface, infrared vision enhancements [near and far IR], subcutaneous keratin plates), clothes, money (However much you deem appropriate, Mu Cephei)
Weapons: Matte black fighting knife, suppressed Gauss pistol (think Mass Effect. It shaves off pieces of metal from a block to use as ammunition, thus allowing for [in theory] hundreds of shots per "magazine".)

Bio: Javoh Terrek was once a prodigal child. He was taken as a child and forced into the State Mentat Program, where he learned to sift large volumes of data and devise concise analyses in a process that goes far beyond logical deduction. They are similar to the contemporary practice of Zen, extracting the essential patterns or logic of data, and delivering useful conclusions with varying degrees of certainty.

He went on to work directly for the Emperor of Hurfdurfistan, enforcing His will and dealing death to His foes. He does not officially exist in any government database, but holds a technical rank of Colonel in any given branch of the Hurfdurfistani armed forces.

As an assassin, he is cunning, clever, and analytical. His faster-than-average thought processes also allow to imitate social charm, though in reality he has fairly little.

Ouch... Might not be able to make my first post in the thread. Still, no worries!

Okay, but will the transportation ship is be able to work during the rp? I want to keep all players on the ground for the most part. So if you can rp a crash or something that would be nice, thanks.


Also, before I begin typing the IC thread I need one character to randomly wake up in the area where all the players will meet. If possible I would prefer more then one, but I need at least one for the plot. You would have no idea how you got on the planet though.

I volunteer on the condition that I don't have amnesia or whatnot, remember my skills, etc. None of this Bourne Identity stuff (even though the books were fantastic.).

Oh, don't worry. You just won't remember how you got on the planet thats all. Everything else you can remember.

Also, I haven't read the Bourne Identity books yet. Are they any good?

I'm posting the IC thread now, it's called "FEAR". I'll edit in a link on the first page of this thread after I post it. Thanks to everyone else who has joined and to those who wish to join, but have yet to. You can still join just do it quickly.

Also, I haven't read the Bourne Identity books yet. Are they any good?

Yeah, actually. Ludlum is a good writer and puts together a pretty compelling story. It's not like the movies, which (although fun) are essentially action flicks.

good opening post, one question i just thought of are we to post in typical RP fashion or similar to yours in the IC opening post?

However anyway you want to rp is the way you can rp. The only reason I wrote like that is because I'm not really in the rp. I control the environments, NPCS, etc, but I'm not in the rp IC'ly. I just give the facts for players and then they make their responses to said information. Thats why most of my post was all info and not enough emotion.

So in more simpler words. Write the way you want to write.

k my post is up, I think it gets things across

It occurs that we still need a cleric and a wizard...

I would like to join..... is it to late to do so?

It occurs that we still need a cleric and a wizard...

lol What?

I would like to join..... is it to late to do so?

Yes you can still join, just post a character bio on this thread.

lol a wizard, how about a medic and a scientist there the FT non magic equels

lol a wizard, how about a medic and a scientist there the FT non magic equels

I hear that!

lol thats a reason why i gave my character a degree in geology, sometimes knowing about rocks and being a soldier can be handy, cause you'll know what it will take to blow those rocks up

lol a wizard, how about a medic and a scientist there the FT non magic equels

Man, jokes are no fun if I have to explain them :(

Update: I'm going to wait for Lariza, Kankersaurs, and possibly Oblivion2 to post before I start this game completely.

Character name:
Elendil Beowulf

Nationality: Oblivion, the planet of
Rank: 2nd Lietenant

Job: Combat engineer

Bio: Raised at a young age to be in the military, Elendil is a solid and dependable soldier. As a combat engineer he is profiecent in keeping soldiers alive in safe trenches, building bridges and identifiying land mines. He also takes part as a infantryman when the need arises. He also Majored in medical sciences in Military college, just incase.

*I was thinking to get on the planet he and his unit were hell-jumped in, but the Shipboard A.I. Miscalculated and set the release altitude too high and killed the unit save for beowulf*

Okay, welcome to the rp! The link to the IC thread is on the front page of this thread! GO there and post your intro! Please! Thank you!

two more to go heh

two more to go heh

Lets give Lariza and Kankersaurs sometime to post. If they don't post then I guess we'll move on without them. At the max the next post will come Monday at around 4-5 p.m. However, I may post earlier then that.

One last thing, shameless bump for the win.

Please keep all OOC chat here, thanks.

OOC: Can we start interacting with other characters soon?

Of course.

OOC: Presumably when everyone's posted, yeah.

Nope, you can start interacting right now if you want. The plot just won't go forward until either the last person, who has yet to post, post his/her intro or we just move on with the plot without him/her.

Can I still get in on this?

I've got a few characters I like to employ.

you might be able to i mean we just started,

anyway every one remember you got a smoking impact zone with a cockpit module with my character in it, some one should go pull him out since he is knocked out

Can I still get in on this?

I've got a few characters I like to employ.

Yup, but I ask that you post your intro as quickly as possible. This is taking longer then I expected. Just post a bio here and then you can post your intro on the IC thread. Thanks.


We have about seven people now so I'm going to stop allowing others to join. If you really want to join TG me a reason why, but I don't think it is fair to those who already posted to stall the game any longer. So tough luck.

Sorry, but no TG. I'm posting here, with my bio, on the RPG fact that not all of the people who sign up for a game EVER actually show up to said game. Frequently, in the end, you're left with 2-4 die-hard RPers who want to continue the thread long after the others have dropped out.
Therefore, in hopes of getting accepted:

Kartosh was born in Tenfour. His parents were both soldiers who met on the battlefield, and he was raised with the expectation that he, too, would be a soldier. Indeed, his good reflexes, accuracy with a weapon, and above average proficiency with mechanics marked him for a future as either a battle engineer or perhaps even a Shadow Ops. In school, however, Kartosh was lazy, rarely turning up to class. All his teachers said he was a smart, intelligent child, but he simply wouldn't apply himself. The only subjects which ever seemed to interest him involved either combat or working in a mechanics class. He graduated, barely, because he picked up in the last couple of years and passed with extremely high marks, propelling him into graduates. He was immediately sent to military school, and trained as a engineer and pilot. He dropped out halfway though, however, and, after buying a used ore hauler with credits he had saved up, vanished. During the Korr Wars he returned to smuggle information and people though Korr lines, changing ships almost as fast as he changed contracts. As the war began to draw to a close, Kartosh saved enough money to have a ship yard somewhere produce the Star Snake, which he used for smuggling and mercenary activities. Kartosh lives and works only for his ship, his mate Skyler, and profit. He can be cold at times, with little regard for sentient life. However, he does warm up at times (usually though Skyler's coaxing), and is usually merely grumpy. He has been labeled as "a nuisance" by Custom Officials and, while Korr, Xiscapian, Alversian, and even Danaversian ships have attempted to catch him and his ship multiple times, he has yet to be caught.

Skyler (http://ionen.deviantart.com/art/Tanake-Trang-Jedi-52363021)
Age: 28
Height: 5,7
Force Abilities: Medium
Born of a merchant and a journalist, Skyler grew up on Kel, the rocky mining moon above Xiscapia. She always was passionate about things she believed in, but fierce in protecting them. She graduated the middle of her class, and went to trade school to become a teacher in combat, specifically unarmed, close quarters. However, she was unable to maintain the correct amount of semester points and dropped out, getting some training from a corporation which employed mercenaries. Skyler was originally a guard on a cargo ship. The ship, the Retarded Ant, named after the ship's nav computer, which was defective, was a medium-sized ship that hauled supplies out to Xiscapian troops stationed on one of Jomstar's many moons. One transport the moon which they were delivering to was counter-attacked by Korr forces. Skyler's ship lost a wing and crash-landed on the moon's surface. The pilot was killed on impact, and the co-pilot was killed when his spacesuit ruptured and exposed him to vacuum. Skyler was captured by Korr soldiers and imprisoned on the moon. The Korr counter-attack was successful and Skyler, along with several other soldiers that had been stationed there, were POWs under the Korr. During that time all the other prisoners were tortured and killed, or committed suicide. Finally Skyler was the only one left. She was tortured only once, for a brief matter of minutes, but it was extremely painful. During that time Kartosh happened to be flying back from a blockade run and was intercepted and nearly destroyed by Korr fighters. He angled his ship straight into the prison complex, almost leveling it and killing all but a few inside. He managed to escape the burning wreckage of his ship, and was ambushed by Korr soldiers. Skyler had been in a underground level of the prison, but the room had collapsed and killed her captors. She made her way to the surface, where, despite her weakness and injuries, fought off the Korr attacking Kartosh. She and he stole into the hanger, hijacking a patrol ship, and escaped in the ensuing chaos and confusion. She agreed to be his partner, and is simultaneously his partner, lover, co-pilot and gunner, and also his balancing force, offsetting his uncaring for others and look-out-for-number-one outlook with her compassion and grace.

They fly a ship called the Star Snake, but since you said you wanted to keep RPers on teh ground, I can have the engines conveniently malfunction and strand the two on the surface.

Go ahead and post your intro.

On one final note. As of now I have begun to type up the next post so get ready!

I was born ready

OOC: Bump for Mu Cephei

Don't worry, I see everyone's post and have read them. I just want to give others a chance to respond before we move on. I don't know about you, but I always get pissed off to log off NS and log on the next day to find out that I'm 22 post behind everyone else and have no idea what to post in order to catch up. So I'll post a response when I think everyone has been given a fair chance to post. Just wait patiently or interact with others in the rp, but the plot will only move when everyone is ready for it to move.

Oh i see, well thats my bad, forgive my eagerness.

Oh i see, well thats my bad, forgive my eagerness.

I too wish to speed up the rp and get to the juicy stuff, but we got to be fair to the people in other time zones.

well in my opinion so far so good.

I don't know about you, but I always get pissed off to log off NS and log on the next day to find out that I'm 22 post behind everyone else and have no idea what to post in order to catch up.

here here lol

indeed

that is a pain

IC will come later, for now OOC will do.


OOC: I would rather you say my two are not actully allied with anyone except Terrek, and that's because he's paying them. And I wondered when the tape would be mentioned again...

What I meant by ally is that if you get in trouble and some Mu Cepheians are near by they will come to help you. Even the monsters will help you if you chose for them to be your allies, but so far everyone seems to be leaning towards Mu Cephei (by that I mean no one has starting shooting at them).

What type of rp'er, let alone writer, would I be if I forgot my own plot point? :D lol

-SNIP-

I'm sorry, but this rp is closed. I don't mind you joining, but it would be unfair to the others if I just let someone join after the rp has gone on for sometime now and delay it further. If they don't mind your joining as well then your free to post a bio and post, but I can't speak for them so your going to have to wait to see their responses. Good first post though, I was expecting a one-liner intro after seeing that you have only posted 2 times in the forums total.

Ah...well, in that case, then yeah. They won't really shoot at anyone unless said person is shooting at them.

Frankly it would be stupid not to ally with the Mu Cepheians at this point. They've got us outnumbered 4 to 1, for starters, and they have TANKS. Odds are against us.

And the monsters out number the Mu Cepheians 1 to 1,000. Of yes, you did read that correctly. So they are not that bad of an ally if I may say so myself.

This is a classic example of, "quality v.s. quantity." So pick the one you prefer and hope your side wins.

Did everyone just now notice this thread or something? lol Fine, but you have to crash land at the massive tower and wait for everyone to arrive, deal?

OOC-I would like to RP more of a bad guy, and what better to represent that then the Resident Evil Nemesis-esque Belkan Centurion, modified to fit FT. Perhaps he will be the first to ally himself with the monsters instead of the people. Let me know if it is too late to join.

Name: Centurion Designate Alpha ID-1737626223999, "Mr. O"
Age: 12 (Centurions are bred to develop quiclky)
Height: 7'6"
Eye color: Grey
hair color: bald
Race: Belkan Centurion
From:Exoterran Imperium of Belkaros
Occupation: Bioweapon/soldier
Specifics: Extensive augmentation provides extreme resilliance and healing ability, along with agility and intelligence. Drawbacks to this are the creature's hideous apperance and minimal level to form interpersonal relationships, but cases have been confirmed where an uncontrolled Centurion develops human emotion and attatchment to others.
Equipment: Under-armor layer (not the athletic equipment the blade/fire/shock repellant watertight combat mesh), light field armor, Beam saber with rechargable energy caps, beam assault rifle with rechargable energy caps, combat knife/tool kit, biometric generator (damaged upon arrival)
Bio: Born and raised to kill in the name of the Imperium, Mr.O was trained extensivley in martail arts and survival, all the while being inhibited emotionally by a series of microprocessors. Wakes up on the mystery planet in a deployment crate to find his inhibitors damaged. Sent by Imperial High Command to test capacity of an uninhibited Centurion.

I guess it's okay as long as you act like the bad guy...

OCC: okay, hes crashed, but he hasnt come out, hes playing it safe for a lil while, anyway for him to be met by someone, kinda want to get this rolling ^^

so win does the RP start?

appearantly its been "going on" for quite some time.

then why are people still joining?
Shouldn't this be closed?

It's not, so far as I know. We're like, what, four pages in already?

Xscapia are your guys actual Xscapians, furry ones?

umm could someone give me a breif rundown of the story so far. I never noticed fear as the character rp. I thought that the character rp was dead.

@NC: No, they are like humans with fox-like characteristics. Common misconception. ;)

@Kankersaurs:
Basically everyone has landed and found each other at the top of a cliff. Below the cliff bug-like monsters were fighting a number of MC soldiers and heavy vehicles. The group was found by the soldiers and they are now riding the convoy with the soldiers to a communications station. However, my female character has spotted the guy who has been tracking us and gone after him, stalling the convoy. Some kind of crazy beastie took out my other character and broke something, so he's lying in the dirt on the side of the road next to the stalled convoy. A character is about to ambushed by another character in the forest.

OCC: I know what a kitsune looks like ^^ I also know what they look like from the inside out, but regardless, are they the Xscapians ive grown to hate and love?

umm if I just landed on the planet what would happen?

Nothing. Nothing will happen until you meet someone else. :P
Of course, if you land close to the convoy, things could get messy.

umm if I just landed on the planet what would happen?

Depends on what you mean by "land on the planet." Civilian ships can land easily land after by inspected by some Mu Cepheian soldiers. A war ship will have 5 minutes to get away before being "removed" by several battleships... If you crash land or sneak in then what Xiscapia said sums it up.

idk where I landed...I just sorta landed.

great I am a pet now -.- make Johan drink from a bowl and I'll make sure your character dies lol

Your just an animal in his eyes, or perhaps a lover as well ^^

lol @ the above...

Also, can everyone stop posting for a second? I need to catch up... With my own thread... lol I just need to rp the convoy stopping and soldiers getting off to find out what happened plus a few other things that you won't get to know about until I post.

what should I do that I just landed?

Personally i crash landed cause i ran out of fuel on the run.

someguy shot me down what should I do? How do I get with the group?

You really have to figure it out for yourself, chose your own path, or you can come play with me and Johan, hes so cute ^^

k i'll just search around until I find something.

Why didn't you mention me?

Why didn't you mention me?

I couldn't figure out a way to include you without forcing you into something. Don't worry, once you get in a certain position (like meet a Mu Cepheian face to face, etc.) by yourself I'll respond.

Also...
OOC: Congrats guys, you just started the first "level" of the game. Enjoy kicking bug ass and I think I gave a big enough hint as to what the first "boss" will be...

o.k ill try and get with the group

You could interact with my guy now, you just came at a bad time, that's why we ignored you.

o sorry.

And I came in late. I had signed up early but I never got the message that a new thread had been started.

NC, sorry, but I'm not going to respond to your post. It's not like there's anything wrong with it, but I'm engaged in pursuit of that sniper, and Skyler's not going to stop, even for the sake of killing a Calaveran.

Oh its fine ^^, maybe Kanker could say hello.

to you?
I'm on a convoy.

my rifle is aimed at the convoy.

my convoy?

well im aiming at Xscapia's at the moment.

Which convoy am I on?
:confused:

im assuming xscapias lol

There's only one convoy, and it has actually stopped moving. Everyone's shooting at the bugs.

o o.k I'll start shooting at these bugs

Okay i'm completely lost here

Xscapia, I want to have some fun with Kartosh or Skyler ^^

Okay i'm completely lost here

me too when I leave for a little while another 5 pages have been done

were have been somehow transported into a large building with an endless black cieling it seems.

Ok guess I'm there to now insted of a roof top lol hmm

:Xscapia, I want to have some fun with Kartosh or Skyler ^^
Perhaps later...if you don't mind falling back into a coma with shattered limbs. :p

o I thought we were still fighting bugs

I think we need Mu to clear this up for us all

yea we need a discreption of the room

for that we need him to get online

i guesse so...

we need to continue the plot badly x.x

other wise its a eternity of card games lol

that'd be a boring rp

i know lol, little boxing match something fun.

NC, would you get to the "Echoes of the Future" thread and RP that Doctor aboard the Observer please? My char is going to find him and put him to good use.

bump the thread Xscapia, pretty please ^^

A few things....

1.) I'm as of right now, killing the thread or disconnecting myself from it. I will no longer post on the IC thread of FEAR. If you all wish to keep rp'ing and make up your own story please do so. Yes, I am allowing all of you to hijack my thread. Enjoy yourselves.

2.) I'm doing this because there is simply too many posts for me to respond to (meaningfully) and I am too slow in to respond to any future posts (meaningfully). So this is why the above is being implanted right away.

3.) I am thinking of redoing the thread in the future... It will be better of course with faster responses and all of you will be invited (of course), but first I am thinking of doing a standard FT thread before that with a different story. I'm not sure.

So everyone, thanks for rp'ing on my thread. If you decide to keep posting then enjoy yourselves. If not then I'll see you on some other thread.

now I have to join another rp. well i guesse if people want to we could still do the thread. What do ya say people, keep the thread alive?

Well I at least need to get my chars away from...where ever they are. But there is still business to be finished with Mr. O, Terrek and Redemption, so I guess I will continue until that is satisfactorily solved. Does anyone mind if I take control of the thread, describing enviornments, beasties, ect? I'm not online the most, but I am almost always able to log on daily, so as to keep the IC thread alive. Any objections? If another RPer wants the spot I will happily give it.

No, Xis, that sounds good. Go for it. I want to conclude this thread, too... I like this character I've crafted.

fine with me

yes please continue this thread

I'm glad to see that you guys are still willing to rp on the thread even though the maker of said thread bailed out. ;)

Ha, Mu Cephei, you should join in.

To quote a star wars character "You've got a lot of nerve showing up here, after what you pulled"

yea seriously you abandoned us.

I realyl dont want this to die yet, its very interesting ^^

MC didn't abandon us! I don't know about anyone else, but I've got a lot of free time on my hands. MC probably dosen't, and can't log on as often as he (or we'd) like. Cut him a little slack, not everyone can be on every day.

Ha, Mu Cephei, you should join in.

Wish I could, but I'm so far behind all I would do is slow everyone down. However, if I ever catch up... Well, lets leave that to the future shall we? I still have ideas on how to make everyone's life in the rp hell...

To quote a star wars character "You've got a lot of nerve showing up here, after what you pulled"

Ha, a Stat Wars quote has no affect on me! I have a special chip in my head that allows me to ignore over use of CGI in movies and the voices in my head! So do your worse!

I'm gone for what... Three days and you hate me already? What a shame. lol

I want my character to acually do something.

well i guese people can't get on all the time...
sry MC

well three days trapped in a dark room is a long time MC lol any way if your still alive do continue the story

I want my character to acually do something.

Make up your own plot. If you guys want I can edit all of my posts to go in order with your story if you would like. I have some days off from life during this week and I have nothing really to do so I'll be glad to help in anyway.

Or I could just catch up...

Hey, MC, what's on the tape? That's all I want to know at this point; I've played F.E.A.R. before, so...

'tis be no problem for you to help out since you technically still the dungeon master lol

Realistically MC all we've done is gone to the top of the elevator and hung out bickering like assholes.

Hey, MC, what's on the tape? That's all I want to know at this point; I've played F.E.A.R. before, so...

I'm thinking of just ending the rp now instead of leaving it to rot. So your going to find out soon enough.

'tis be no problem for you to help out since you technically still the dungeon master lol

I'm ending the rp soon so yeah...

Realistically MC all we've done is gone to the top of the elevator and hung out bickering like assholes.

I'm going to skim though all the posts (I'm on page 22) before I post.

nooo why are you closing rp?

nooo why are you closing rp?

Don't worry, I'm going to finish it over the course of the week when I have free time. Otherwise I'll by too busy to end it. In grand total we have about a week or so to rp before I gotta start working again. So lets get going.

Also, on a side note. If someone was to post a big paper on science fiction and space travel, would you read it? That is not to say it will ever be finished and posted on here, but if it was... Would you read it and give some feed back?

I would. Are we talking like a term paper here?

I would. Are we talking like a term paper here?

It would be nothing, but the personnel research of an amateur who is studying aerospace engineering and who dreams of joining the USAF's space program or NASA's space program. It would cover everything from the laws of physics to space wars to the tiny green men that came from outer space. All of the stuff that takes years of research being put into simple, easy to understand words that the rest of us can understand so that the "smarty pants people" aren't that only ones who can figure out how much energy is needed to get from Earth to Mars with a certain type of engines.

Would there be any mention of various kinds of speculative FTL travel featured in sci-fi? I'm in a Science Fiction and Fantasy writing class this year, and have finished an excellent book on tips for young writers on Sci-Fi/Fantasy by Orson Scott Card himself, so these things always interest me.

i love Orson scott card ^^

i love Orson scott card ^^


Orson Scott Card is a prefect example of a true modern day SF writer. I still can't help, but reread my copies of Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead every time I look though my book case.
