^ It was a forum game here. You can still find it if you sift backward.

And Cheddarius totally stole Phantom's character

[Armok]

You people realize "space age" usually refers to some decades ago with the lunar landings and such right?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Here's how I imagined the setting:
It is 10-20 years in the future. The governments has abandoned attempts at exploring space or colonizing other planets in the Solar System. Corporate power ever-increases, while that of governments' continue to decrease. Over the last three years a few corporations have begun building colonies on Mars and Luna, namely Stellar Constructs Inc, Patriot Aeronautics, and Utopian Future. Colonies are ruled with an iron fist, and colonists have no rights.

Anyway, you didn't you'd take the FIRST 7, and I want in.
Name: Frederick XV
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Goals: To found his own company, and eventually create his own colony on another planet.
Bio: His father had spent his life wishing he was an astronaut, but he couldn't handle the G-forces. His fantasy tales of space fascinated young Frederick, who decided his future was intertwined with space. He studied hard, and has recently graduated with his engineering major, and a business minor.

Hmm...
If I let you play as well, I'll make it hell for you. The setting's not exactly what I had in mind, but still.
Also, Armok, I'll call this the second space age. Happy?

[Nirur Torir]

Bah, never-mind then.

Sorry. I was planning on saying no, but then I realized that it would be hard setting up a company when there are megacorporations. That send assasins at you if you offer competition.

[100killer9]

Alright. I'll stop putting this off. In the meantime, HERE is the setting…
It is the year 2107. Space colonization has begun. The USSR has been partially reformed, though only East Russia is part of it, and East Europe is not. Japan is a Nuclear wasteland, as is South Korea. The communism came from several incompetent leaders in all their democratic governments that led to North Korean propoganda making an impact. This union is the UASU, or United Asian Socialist Union. Both the UASU and the USA are drained of money, as the government pours money into a strange secret project. This project is so important that the government attacks anyone who argues against it. They left most other services to private buisnesses. They removed laws governing monopolization to keep these buisnesses working for them, and this has led to rampant inflation, starting the Great Depression II. Corporations are claiming Lunar and Martian land as fast as they can Terraform it. Nations owned by these companies are sprouting up left and right.
Is this satisfactory?

[Labs]

Cool. I like it.

[Cheddarius]

Yep, that's good.

[Archangel]

Very good. Since the setting is our world, my bloke is an Aussie.

Like my character 

... So.... Do we start?

[100killer9]

Tonight I'll start you guys off. I'm starting to regret having let in seven players...

[LeoLeonardoIII]

That's cool, I can volunteer to be killed horribly to raise dramatic tension and reduce referee tension. If people quit I can come back as an experimental cyborg - DetectoBot! DeductoBot? Nah that sounds like an accountant thing.

SleuthBot!

Anyway.

[100killer9]

I think I may just have the game be REALLY HARD, which is easy since I don't have to hope someone gets a bad roll. This will only eliminate the weakest of mind.

[silhouette]

fun...(WOO ONE WORD POST)

TURN 1
Sam Spade: You are in your apartment. The door is closed. It smells like pizza and cigarettes. The TV is on to the only channel that isn't ridiculously priced anymore, the advertisement channel. You notice your mail has come through the suction system most apartments use now.
Your are fine, don't need another cigarette, have no job.
Kenton: You have enough money for 1 months rent in an apartment, or $4,000. You have a cheap, 2050 laptop. It is really slow, especially on the new holonetwork (which displays in 2D if your computer can't support it). Slow means it might take a page to load.
You are fine. You have no job.
Mirage: You're in your hotel room. You can see outside your window Washington D.C, still a rather nice place to live. You need to meet with the head if the CIA today, for some reason.
You are fine. You must go to the CIA head.
Cheddarius: You are in the sniper barracks on the Moon. You are in Randia, a nation owned by RAND. You admire the beautiful terraformed landscape outside your window. It's just an image from a camera outside, but it's still where you are. You are on service to protect the fortress here from GE. You wear a cheap fake spacesuit to bed, for some reason.
You are fine.
Uriel: You wake up to the faint sound of a jet engine. You are being shipped to a base on a low-radiation peninsula of Korea, where you are supposed to make an assault on the UASU Capitol from a caravan wastlelander (carries you across Nuclear Radiation Zones, or NRZs). You lead a squad of privates. Your goal is to cause as much damage as possible and leave. Alive, preferably.
You are fine.
Rogers: You wake up from the cold concrete of an alley. You have nothing to your name. Nothing but memories. The experiments are slightly hazy when you recall them. You remember being in two places at once, and partially, and strange things that couldn't be possible. But you try to remember who did that to you. You were taken by a man, and escaped thanks to the government. But somehow, the man's cruel, calculating demeanor seemed to suggest at least being of a high class.
You are fine.
Neuf: You wake up in your apartment. The funds from testing have ran out. You want to find some way to prove your worth to the world. You don't know how, though.
You are no idiot, but fine.
