Blank Slate - Turn 35 (Jul 7)
« on: April 03, 2016, 06:41:06 pm »

If someone is missing for three or more rolls then I'll replace him with another player. I'll send PM reminders after the first, though.
Currently there are zero slots open out of six players.

Waitlist:
Open




Spoiler: A bit more fluff (click to show/hide)


As our heroes valiantly plunged into the depths of the void, they have found that much has changed. A world of clouds, floating islands, and mysterious talking people made of fish. Machines have gained sentience along with human bodies, and apparently souls are a thing.
Whatever the case may be, it seems like there are new things to discover beyond the event horizon. A new world awaits.

They're not alone. Countless others made the plunge into the void, and they might cross paths sooner or later.



You were originally a pilgrim, having traveled from across the galaxy in order to do one thing: to boldly go where no man has returned from, with zero certainty of survival.

Code: (Character Sheet) [Select]
[b]Name: [/b]

[b]Origin: [/b](what kind of society did your character come from?)
[b]Bio: [/b](what's your character's background?)
[b]Appearance/Items: [/b](what does your character look like/have on him currently?)

[b]Skills/Properties: [/b](see below for what's allowed)

I'm looking for characters that come from completely alien societies, more or less not what you see in typical space opera. There is literally no point in being just a "generic" human. You can come up with pretty much any society you want so long as it doesn't control the galaxy or somesuch. There is no FTL or FTL communication so characters probably can't be hivemind extensions of some entity in the galaxy itself, it would have to be self-contained.

I'll pick 6 characters that fit the game after people are done writing sheets.

PTW

Though with humanity having great knowledge in everything, doesn't that make everyone kind of ridiculously smart?

...Perhaps. They could also be rusty, such that most humans aren't all indomitable geniuses, but re-learning something is never really the same as when you learned it the first time.
Perhaps that could justify how RPG characters always learn stuff really fast ;). They already know it, they're just re-learning.

You can also make a character that's not terminally old. It's your idea, not mine.

I'm kinda confused as to how far I can go regarding abilities. Am I bound to the regular human stuff, or can I do things like Molecule manipulation through some means? Or dilate time?

You can have a sufficiently advanced technology (like nanobots, quantum tunneling, implants, etc) to do so, and it must draw from a power output that doesn't violate conservation of energy. If you want to carry around a miniature fusion reaction, that's fine, but for most forms of power there's likely to be some kind of handicap (For example, miniature fusion and fission might require antimatter to be stored so you can catalyze reactions on such a small scale. That antimatter is liable to lose containment. It wouldn't be much, just nanograms... but that's still a pretty nasty explosion.)

Be advised that your powers may not exactly work as described on the other side. Dilating time is also kind of hard to justify using technology, because at the same time there is no FTL, so no meaningful distortion of space that could result in FTL travel.

Sorry for that wall of text. I went a bit crazy with that one.
Eh, you have lots of opportunities for story integration in yours, so it's up there on the list.
