Forums » RP Discussion » Possible modern/future RP?

So, I just realized all my RP threads that I've created take place in fantasy/medieval times. I'm thinking about changing this. I had a private RP going once with a friend where it was in future times, kind of like Star Wars in the fact that there's all sorts of different species and you travel between planets and whatnot. There wouldn't be a specific set of species so you could be creative and use your imagination with what character you use/make (and yes, humans would be allowed).
My idea is that the actual RP would take place on one of the various planets, right in the middle of a war between various species for control of the planet. Some species want power, others want to keep those nasty species from getting the power and putting everyone else as slaves, and even other species just don't want to fight at all.

I'm still tweaking the ideas but there's the gist of it. Would anyone be interested?

You shoulda seen this coming. I'm down. Heh. I got a star wars version of Kyle that I can tweak in accordance to the exact type of setting and rules you place. Ie no lightsabers force powers etc. It's for reasons like this that I have multiple versions of my characters. My open mind on rp themes ftw!

Wewt!
And yes I did see it coming xD

Do we have to let humans in?

Scifi is more my thing, so count me in

I'm interested! I'd like to try to revive an old character of mine. She's a scientist, so maybe there could be some resources or something on the planet that could be of scientific interest?

If I may make a suggestion, I would avoid having it be species X vs. species Y vs. species Z. In a more futuristic setting, each faction would likely be comprised of individuals of all species, unless they're into racial purity and might and stuff--which would be cool for a more "evil" feeling faction. Like, I dunno, the Katolian Vanguard believes that katols are the mightiest species and resent the other species that have tried to settle on their planet, so they want to enslave them. So naturally only katols would be allowed into that faction. But the Resistance, who are keen on keeping the katols from enslaving everyone and believe in freedom and whatnot... they would likely be a hodgepodge of different species. Then other factions could be everything in between--maybe one faction is primarily species Y but they allow other species in... but this causes a lot of tension and prejudice.

Futuristic war is a cool idea to explore, though! So yeah, if I have time I'd like to jump in!

I'd probably create a new character for this, torn between some kind of civilian/smugger type person who got caught up in the conflict or a military commander because I do enjoy that role.

No Darth we cannot wipe out the humans xP

And that's exactly what I was thinking, Heim. It's not exactly species vs. species vs. species. Some of them are high-minded purists (obviously the ones that want the power), but others don't mind being with other species. So yeah, that's my idea stuffs. xD Also, yeah I'm planning on having the planet be a pretty well-off planet with natural resources and stuff, since the 'bad' species wants to control it. I don't know any details on that, but it's a pretty epic planet. xD

Yay for people having interest!

Sounds like my star wars Kyle Darth. Cept he lacks formal training in the force and stuff. Ha.

My Star Wars character is a Sith Lord, so it's difficult to use him elsewhere.

That sounds interesting! If you make it, I'll definitely join. I'd actually been trying to think of a sci-fi RP idea to give that forum some love, but I hadn't had much luck. ; So I'm really excited about this!

I have a couple of alien species I could make a character from if it seemed like it would fit, I do have one human sci-fi character (strict, hardliner space-navy officer-type) who could always use a game, or, in the unlikely chance that she'd fit the setting, I might throw Astrolabe in. All really depends on what looks like it would be the best fit with the setting and the other characters involved, though.

Awesome, I'm glad to see so much interest! I'll start planning and plotting, and I'll let you all know when I've started the thread!

Hey, is anyone interested in helping me with this? I'm not very good to do something on this scale, so if someone wanted to be the 'GM' with me (or whatever they're called), send me a private message and let me know
I really wanna get this ship off the ground!

I would totally participate in this. Tonic or XIII would fit right in. : )

I can offer a hand.

Hmm, Shad might fit into this, maybe.

Just so you all know, I'm gonna wait until after May 7th to seriously consider making the RP. I have a swarm of school looming over me until then. (research paper, math test, normal school and SATs)

Oh heck yes! If you made that shizz, I'd join in a heartbeat. I love scifi stuff, I need to revive and maybe revamp some old scifi characters. I'm excited for this idea to come to fruition, if it does indeed do so.

That's great, Ell! How would you feel in helping me orchastrate this shizz? x3

And as stated in my post before this, it won't be until after May 7th. Which I just realized is...five days from now. ._. *runs and hides under a rock from the SATs*
