The Galactic Dawn, will be a Science Fiction Roleplay like no other, at least I hope so. With the bare framework from myself, I encourage the community interested in joining, to create anything they so desire, within some semblance of reason of course. There will be no immediate plot created by the author, myself, instead I push the members to create a story their own, and of course I will drive some events in where I may see fit, generally a grand event involving not only creations of mine, but even information that you, the users, post here, in the species creation thread. The events of the roleplay will be established based upon approved species, you are not required to roleplay as your own species, but providing enough information that another player may do so with confidence, is expected.
Rules:
-Species must not break site rules.
-As creator of the thread, it is my word that is final. I will be open to discussion of course, so do not feel that a general comment is undebatable.
-The earlier approved, the higher the priority, if you create a species after another user, you must in no way break the events established in their history, any of this will result in immediate denial.
-Science must at least be explainable, spontaneous teleportation and energy fields must be explained at least to a rudimentary degree in the Technological Advancements section.
-Pictures are not necessary, but may be used in addition to a brief description in Evolutionary Traits.
-Attempt to maintain a pattern with your species, if you include ideas regarding your engineering, try not to abruptly move from rounded organic patterns to pyramids.
-I am open to suggestion on what should be added, so thinking up new categories that may prove useful in the future will be appreciated.
Species Sheet:
Name: (Names commonly known by, local, or otherwise)
Homeworld: (Where does your species come from, or at least what the majority of them consider home)
Dawn of Civilization: (When did your species first come together to form a society, keep in mind that Galactic Dawn, or year zero, is 1804 AD on Earth)
Intergalactic Stereotype: (What does everyone else think of your species?)
Technological Advancements: (Mentions of your species' primary scientific developments, including significant ones in greater detail)
Evolutionary Traits: (What do they look like, and what is significant about your species' bodies?)
Cultural Insight: (How does your species behave, and what do they do besides fight one another, or anyone else? This includes art, music, and governing bodies among other things)
Significant Historic Events: (What happened for your species after the Galactic dawn? These are only species-wide events, such as world wars, great plagues, or technological revolutions)
Name: Humans, Mankind, Homosapiens, Terrans
Homeworld: Earth, Terra, Blue
Dawn of Civilization: -5004 GD (3200 BC)
Galactic Stereotype: Varying, and dangerous to judge on stereotype.
Evolutionary Traits: Humans are binary gendered, bipedal omnivores with ten-digited appendages, with apposable thumbs to their hands. Humans come in varying skin tones, and have various hair colours, as well as diverse retinal pigments. With two eyes, a simple olfactory receptor, and two protrusions from either side of their head to process sound. Endoskeletal, humans are externally covered with a thin lining of skin, fat, and muscle. Not the hardiest of galactic species, nor the flimsiest, humans are practically the defined average between the Milky Way, and Andromeda galaxies.
Technological Advancements:
-Most effective FTL travel in the galaxies, the Suiard drive, employing Marcas Suiard's Unified Field Theory to warp the laws of physics themselves. Suiard was unfortunately assassinated only three months after his discovery in 1034 GD.
-The most advanced Artificial Intelligence, fathered by a Mister Jonah Penner heralded as a genius beyond his time in the year 222 GD, capable of expressing emotion, and accounting for human morals in their decision making, as was added in the year 426 by a Miss Talia Verrick, from his original notes, two-hundred years prior.
-Subpar medical sciences when compared to other civilizations, barely capable of true prosthetic limbs.
-Mediocre weapons technology compared to other civilizations, lacking in weapons of mass destruction for the most part, little more destructive than nuclear warheads.
-Roughly average agricultural technologies, capable of hydroponic farming and rudimentary terraforming.
Cultural Insight:
-Operate under a communistic government.
-Varying in the arts, and not uncommonly regarded as incredible, though not the greatest as a whole.
-Strongest in the face of danger, humans are often difficult to bring together, but when faced with a greater threat are regarded as unbreakable.
Significant Historic Events:
-The Great War (WW I), was a battle fought primarily on what was once known as the continent of Europe, between all of the major nations on the global scale. The war resulted in an economic depression in Europe, and the continent North America, and led into a second war.
-World War II, was fought once again, primarily in Europe, with a dual front on the Eastern edge of Asia, another of Earth's continents. The second world war resulted in a cold war between former allies Russia, and the United States of America, which lasted for the better part of a decade.
-The Space Race, was humanity's first foray into interstellar travel, though altogether short-reaching.
-The Red Race, humanity's second foray into space travel, which successfully planted a small colony on the planet Mars, in Earth's solar system.
-Birth of Modern Robotics, took place over a single lifetime, much oriented around the life and accomplishments of Jonah Penner, in what later came to be known as the beginning of true artificial intelligence.
-World War III, by far the bloodiest of the wars, taking place in 1035 GD which was fought in open conflict across the globe. Satellites from previous ages were pulled from orbit to be used as kinetic missiles on entire civilian populations, prominent political figures were assassinated only days after their appointment, and soldiers died in the hundreds over the course of mere hours, spread worldwide. The war lasted a brief ten months before a ceasefire was called, as humanity itself would never be able to completely recover from such a war. The ceasefire was later broken by the United States of America, preemptively preparing to fire their weapons on their Russian adversaries, as the two nations harbored much resent with one another for over a century.
-The Final War, was, as the name implies, the last. As the American government prepared to launch their weapons of mass destruction, their vast array of nuclear weapons was armed early by an electronic attack from three anonymous sources, detonating several of the weapons in their silos. Other missiles made it into orbit, detonating in space to rain radioactive debris across the planet, and eventually, some landed on their mark, destroying over sixty percent of the Eastern hemisphere, while the premature detonations obliterated nearly half of the Western continents. The end result was roughly fifty-three percent of the world's surface becoming inhospitable, reduced to little more than a toxic wasteland.
-The Exodus, in the year 1036 GD, was the point that humanity at long last left their scarred homeworld behind, in hopes of finding other worlds to begin anew upon. The Russian government, having maintained the most integrity, assimilated the other nations to form the Red Terran Union, which was the driving force behind the colonization effort.
-First Contact, with the Kolgrim collective, was not the most pleasant introduction to the other intelligent life. Already scant in number, and searching for a new home, when a colonization vessel, the Cartographer came out of jump, headlong into a new asteroid field that used to be a planet. Still coming to grips with what had happened, the ship was destroyed, the exchange rather one sided, and all too brief. Other vessels coming in behind it, the enemy ship fled. Unsure entirely what had happened, the RTU ordered the region blockaded with military craft while the colonization vessels traveled with sizable military convoys, now completely sure that there was intelligent life out there, and no, it wasn't friendly. If it was a war they wanted, a war these aliens would get, humanity was still itching from its last self-destructive conflict, and now they had a new target to focus their hatred on. Months later, when the aliens returned with reinforcements, they weren't anticipating an entire armada on their doorstep. In the initial moments of combat, the difference in firepower was visible, so in a gambit attempt, Supreme-General Yakovlev ordered boarding action be taken, and the repurposed juggernaut patter mining AIs be put on the forefront, as they had in a few key battles in their previous war amongst one another. Once onboard the enemy vessels, the twelve foot tall juggernaut platforms sprinted through the enemy ships. Splitting at every intersection onboard, it only took about a dozen or so machines to each vessel to bring the force to its knees. Massive rotary cannons roaring before the juggernauts as the ammunition chewed through walls, bulkheads, and Kolgrim alike. It was briefly before the dreadnought was left empty of anything more than bullet casings and alien corpses that they surrendered unconditionally. Of the four vessels, and their entire crews, the survivors could be counted on one kolgrim hand, after only fifty or so juggernauts were released onboard, no human casualties taken in this particular battle. A handful of ships were lost, but the crews had managed to evacuate before lives were lost. It was after this that terms were struck, and the kolgrim allowed off, though under the condition that any habitable planets they find be brought to human attention before being destroyed, and should it come to open war again, they would be crushed beneath the RTU's boot like an insect.
