<Insert Generic Sci-fi Backstory Here>

On the planet of Axi Prime III, there is barren wasteland. This place once held a massive space-farring race called the Rhomians, and there is said to be mythical technologies hidden deep in ruins. Though the original destruction of the planet was never found out, no matter how many researchers came to see the ruins and study. Yet one ambitious scavenger put out an ad into the net, claiming he found a place of old knowledge, where tech and knowledge galore were stored by the Rhomians...

(This is meant to be an open plot, so almost any character can join.)

I would love to reserve the scientist but I have one question?

What do you mean race?

also what does Metagame mean...

Sketch
05-15-2012, 07:28 PM
What he said to me when I asked.


Feel free to make one up for the plot, but give a bit of description to the Appearance section if it's humanoid, but not human.

AlikaKamashi
05-15-2012, 07:29 PM
But you gave no description at all...?

Also why are you using gia pics dear? You know you can go here for alot of nice anime art http://safebooru.org/

Anyways but ummm I was wondering if I could be like a dragonoid type of race...?

@.@ I am just kind of confused and I dont want to do anything without the owner ya know. Thanks for helping though o.o or at least telling me what he told you.

It's right after my race, I didn't see that bit till later XD

Race: Vamira: a Vampire like humanoid race hailing from a dark world where their behavior is caused by evolutionary need. See?

The reason I use Gaia is because I have a lot of miniatures I made and I'm just using them up because I have no other use for them, Once they run out I'll try my hand at searching for better pictures.
and also with the dream avatar creator I can get almost exactly what I want them to look like.

AlikaKamashi
05-15-2012, 07:37 PM
Ohhhh derp XD I though you said in appearance >_>

=P anyways yeah you should totally use that site it has so many original amazing pictures some even lifelike

Sketch
05-15-2012, 07:42 PM
I like the customization I have with my avatars. And he did say in appearance....I just fluked and put it in Race but it worked out all fine.
Oh yeah he also said to make it reasonable.

Btw I'll try the search engine sometime thanks~

AlikaKamashi
05-15-2012, 07:47 PM
I like customization but I much prefer high graphics >_> just like my games XD I hate low graphic games.

Anyways yeah okay o.o are you talking to him secretly >_>

Sketch
05-15-2012, 08:12 PM
No I just remembered that that was the second part of two messages he sent me when I asked about races XD I won't find a picture as good at this though sorry :P

AlikaKamashi
05-15-2012, 08:19 PM

I'm sorry but three of them are guys XD
2 4 and 5 are guys, the first and third are girls....take this to a Pm so we're not crowding this thread.

AlikaKamashi
05-15-2012, 09:04 PM
ACTUALLY NO all of them are male! The third is from Pandora hearts and is in fact a male. The first is also male and I am not sure what anime he is from but he does wear a male uniform he just looks a little feminine its part of the anime I'm sure. Much like in Baka no test.

Found out the anime or whatever it is Fate/Zero
and the characters name is waver velvet he is in fact a boy.

>_> But fine we may take this to PM but let it be know that all are in fact male. Dont you dare ever say my favorite character from pandora hearts is a girl! He isnt even the girliest looking character in that anime! >>'''' -is defending his honor!-

Name: Alexandra ‘Alex’
Race: Dragon-kin
Age: 43 (just out of adolescence in her race however long enough to study in college)
http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/064/3/3/dragon_person_by_katsuragiyako-d4rszz5.jpg
This is how Alex looks facial feature and body wise. Not however what she will be wearing.
Racial explanation: Dargon-kin are a mix of the mythical lore creature the dragon and a human. Dragon kin usually have scaled tails, wings, and horns. Some dragon kin can look more scaled then others meaning they can come from being completely scaled; to being scaled on there hands to wrist and feet, to simply just having scales on there dragon like extremities. Though they do not live forever or for that matter usually past 300, Dragon-kin do age much slower then hose of the human race. Dragon-kin are actually born out of eggs as strange as it sounds. The hatching process takes about another five months after the process of egg creation (which takes three months to create a full formed ready to lay egg)
Primary Weapon: dual wield pistols, and a 5 inch knife strapped to her thigh (This is also used to simply well cut stuff >_> if need be... for any reason..)
Items: Research book, flashlight, rope, binoculars, pencils.
Position: Archeologist/ Biologist.
Stats
Endurance: 3
Will: 4
Strength: 3
Intelligence: 5

What does the trooper transporter look like, if I might ask?

Rubes
05-24-2012, 06:45 AM
Looks like a Heavy IG Drop Ship (http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/040/8/6/Imperial_guard_heavy_droopship_by_AlexandrosIII.jp g), only without the aquila. Also boosters on the bottom to help the inertia of the drop. Painted grey with black secondary, silver trim. Of course it's old, and the paint is flaky... The hold (about 3mx8m) has about 16 seats, uncomfortably close, with barely enough room to fit a combat pack and a rifle, while the cockpit (2mx4m) has three seats: Pilot, Co-Pilot, and Radioman. There is one exit hatch above the cockpit, one on each side of the ship that connect to the hold, one in the back, and one on the bottom, directly under the hold, with an access hatch clearly marked. The inside is all grey, black seats, red suspension belts, red restraints, and blue paint marking escape routes. There is one light in the hold and one light in the cockpit.

snug. Not a lot of room for bring stuff back.

Rubes
05-25-2012, 08:19 AM
Hexel just plans to bring stuff back and to catalog what is inside, and stake the claim for further archaeological activity. He doesn't expect some people to survive... Plus is Xuliss manages to kill the team, it'll be easier for him to haul whatever he wants off before his 'contact' comes. ;D

is anyone else still playing?

Guys, I'm trying to set up a space opera setting in the Persistent Worlds and World Building Forums (http://role-player.net/forum/showthread.php?t=30742) where we define the rules, build planets, ships and have some fun in the setting we jointly create.

If that sounds interesting to you, please post there.
