Futuristic Sky pirates

[Elspeth Caraci]

The year is 2467, and the world has ended. Well, more specifically the earth has ended. It all started in 2130 when we, the humans, finally did what we always knew we would. We destroyed the surface. The earth, from the surface to about 20,000 up, was covered in noxious and radioactive gases and most resources were all but used up. But we are humans! We are strong, not to mention stupid. So we adapted. We created floating islands, reflections of the earth that was, that fly above the gas cloud. We travel about in sky ships. Since then we have advanced in technology, we now have the tech to give ourselves powers (ie laser glasses, mech wings, matter controlling bands, ect) Some use these for good, others for... less good. The sky pirates for example. Wanted by the law, a fun loving group with some issues with authority and a passion for causing trouble and finding adventure. Thats us by the way. Among the mischief making, the ship stealing, and the few times we do honest work, we are part of the daring few who don protective masks and go down to the surface to collect relics from the earth that was.

This sounds great and I already like your writing style. Count me in, I'm all up for some sky pirate fun, adventure and rum (Had to be done, forgive me).


Plus though the setting is different, I get the feel of a firefly crew


So mind if I join?

 

[Elspeth Caraci]

@Lokipi Welcome aboard! And, I think you may be on to something with the Firefly thing... Oops. I actually envision The Sparrow as a slightly modded version of Serenity. Because I am fandom trash.


 
Aaaaaanyways, just fill out a sheet in the sign up, and you're good as gold!

 

[Lokipi]

Nice one, I'm just finishing off a final deadline for uni so once that's done and dusted, will sort out my character sheet


 
And na! nothing bad about that, Firefly was pure gold!

 

[Elspeth Caraci]

Wonderful! Now just to get some other people to join somehow...

 

[bingus44]

I'm really interested!

 

[Elspeth Caraci]

@Greg2344 Oh, awesome! As I said to the other person, just fill out a sheet on the other page and you're in!

 

[bingus44]

Ok making character now, I need one bit of info first. Who are the government, and what's their name?

 

[Elspeth Caraci]

Uhm. I don't quite understand the question?

 

[bingus44]

Like who controls the islands that everyone lives on? Like the military.

 

[Elspeth Caraci]

Ah. Well, they're all sort of controlled by their own governments. In my mind, Its pretty much the same setup as it is now, just on a smaller scale. Like there is a bunch of islands that make up the US, a bunch that make up Scotland or something, and they're all governed by the governments they are now, or since it is about four hundred years in the future, the government they created after they overthrew their own. Basically, there is no one singular government that rules over the whole thing.

 

[bingus44]

Ok thanks!

 

[Elspeth Caraci]

No problem!

 

[bingus44]

Posted character.


 
When should we start and how many people are you looking for?

 

[Lokipi]

I'll be getting my character up by Monday afternoon Black Friday has me kinda swept up in work now xD


Auto correct and Tappa don't mix

 

[Elspeth Caraci]

Well, I was hoping to get at least three people that aren't me. So, thats one more person joining. Once we have that many we can begin.


 
I would be open to more joining though, but in my mind there really shouldn't be any more than eight, not that that many people will want to join.

 

[bingus44]

Ok, sounds cool.


 
If you want more people to join, you should put this in the group recruitment page. (If you didn't already)

 

[Elspeth Caraci]

I don't actually know how...

 

[bingus44]

Can I post it there for you?

 

[Elspeth Caraci]

If you wouldn't mind, that would be wonderful.

 

[bingus44]

Ok I'll give you credit for it in the post also.


 
https://www.rpnation.com/threads/skypirates.77197/ it's all set up! We should be getting people joining in no time!

 

[Elspeth Caraci]

Thanks!

Hello! I'm really interested in this role play! I was wondering if I could play a kid, maybe 13 or so. He'd swab the deck and cook the food and generally be trampled on by everyone else. I know some people don't like it when others role play as children so I just want to make sure that it was okay before I created a character sheet. Thanks.

Elspeth is AFK it seems, but I'd imagine she is ok with your character being a child. Just post it on the character sheet, I'm like 99% sure she'll except it.

 

[Elspeth Caraci]

I'm back, and @Emaline that is perfectly fine!
