We begin when the GM has finished writing and posted to starting post. You begin when you've given us information about the empire, the Jaak Ti, and have your CS approved by the GM

 

[Zaire Ananta]

Ive been approved and how should i go about posting about the Jaak Ti and the empire?

 

[Yesman]

[QUOTE="Zaire Ananta]Ive been approved and how should i go about posting about the Jaak Ti and the empire?

[/QUOTE]
Just post them here, the history/ranking/whatever else you can tell us about them. If you want, head over to the lore tab. You'll find some aliens/factions that we've already created there. The empire would most likely fall under the "factions" category while the Jaak Ti would probably fall under the "species" category so you might want to take a look at those

 

[Zaire Ananta]

so i should post to the lore tab? OR just leave them here for one of you two guys to add?

The Jaak Ti are a race of aliens that was a hive mind. Meaning that they each had their own consciousness but they all shared ideas and advancements which meant that they found it extremely easy to execute strategies on the battlefield also they had the ability to share innovations in technology. The technology that these aliens the Jaak Ti created was extremely powerful and as the Jaak Ti race expanded their hive mind grew and their innovative abilities and creations grew. At the point where the Jaak Ti had taken over a solar system the empire noticed them and became scared. The empire was an organization that was trying to dominate the galaxy. The empire at that point had overtaken about a fourth of the galaxy and sustained complete control. The Jaak Ti did not like the idea of these humans trying to take them over. So the two groups went to war. The Jaak Ti had highly developed, powerful, and dangerous weapons and the empire had a relatively simple weapons yet that had tons of them. The empire had seven dreadnought ships that were the size of the earth's moon. They sent four of them to the Jaak Ti system to eradicate the Jaak Ti but the aliens were waiting. The Jaak Ti were prepared for war and when the dreadnoughts entered the system they immediately attacked. The humans were sent into a panic. In the first week in human time after routine attacks by the aliens the Jaak Ti had destroyed two of the four dreadnoughts. In the process of these attacks, rand the commander of the first dreadnought was captured.

If the empire actually rules one fourth of the galaxy, we are looking at some potential very high intensity conflict between the other galactic superpowers. One fourth of a galaxy is a huge amount of territory and I'm not sure OIGA and the UD would like that. Especially if the Jaak Ti is part of either power. Seriously, we'll need to rewrite how the powers interact with each other and potentially break the plot, and I'm not sure we have enough time or are willing to do all this.

 

[Yesman]

Ooooorrr...we could stick the empire and Jaak Ti into another galaxy far, far away and never speak of them until we have to (maybe via invading force or something).


The most convenient and least messy way for you, @Zaire Ananta, to make your bio fit in, though, would be to replace the empire with OIGA, the closest thing to the empire here, or one of the MegaCorps (ie. Omniverse Manufacturing), since those probably have the technology to build your cyborg. That'll leave you with only having to tell us about the Jaak Ti. If you want to forgo the Jaak Ti, you could try replacing the Jaak Ti with the Raven Sydicate or Burn, the two criminal factions.


TLDR suggestion:


Replace the empire with either


OIGA: more or less the main authority in this RP


Or


MegaCorps: super powerful space companies of various stuff. They'll have technology to rebuild your cyborg


Replace Jaak Ti with either


Raven Syndicate: underground faction that specializes information, espionage, blackmail, etc.


Or


Burn: collection of gangs/terrorists. To fit your bio, they might have launched an ambush on your character and captured him. They probably wouldn't have the technology to turn somebody into a cyborg but they might have sold you to somebody who could.

 

[Zaire Ananta]

Relace the empire with OIGA and stick with the Jaak Ti. Stick to the same plot also about the Jaak Ti except it was OIGA doing the invading and attacking instead of the empire.

 

[Yesman]

So Jaak Ti is going to be in a galaxy far, far away. If we ever get so far, the OIGA launches an invasion/attack against them for whatever reason. Sounds good to me. Only thing left is to tell us about your Jaak Ti. Tell us stuff like their government, home planet, people, etc, etc. This would give the rest of us something to go off of in case the Jaak Ti are ever brought up in a conversation. You know, in case a conversation ends up going like:


"By the way, the Jaak Ti are some really creepy mofos."


"Indeed they are...wait, what are Jaak Ti?"


"...I have no idea."

 

[Zaire Ananta]

xD okay give me afew minutes to write that.

 

[Zaire Ananta]

By the way, how do i use bbc code?

 

[Yesman]

...I am not the one to ask. Thankfully, rpn staffs have predicted that this might happen and have left us with a guide: Site - RpNation - BBcode Guide

 

[Zaire Ananta]

Oh okay.

 

[Quarantinetimer]

A fairly detailed reason for OIGA to invade the Jaak Ti would be appreciated.


Remember that OIGA is made of many races with their own representatives on a high council.


In my experience, it is very difficult to get people to vote for an agenda that is risky and costly unless it is in their direct interest to do so. (I.e. A war)

 

[LeviathanL]

Why cant jaak be part of oiga? I think it is poor in species as it is now.


Btw lore still says oiga headquarters is the size of a star. Should realistically be no bigger than a small moon.

 

[Quarantinetimer]

It's probably not *just* the headquarters for OIGA, but sort of is their capital and the like. Even then, the size of a star is still way too big.

 

[Zaire Ananta]

The council should agree on the decision to raid the Jaak Ti because they want the weapons. And in the past the Jaak Ti have demonstrated an unwillingness to sell or trade.

 

[AlphaDraco]

The Rooktan wouldn't be a part of that though, they only attacked when provoked, and they are a pretty large chunk of the OIGS populace.

 

[Quarantinetimer]

A few more things: What is the current relationship between OIGA and the Jaak Ti? Is the war still going on (after 397 years approximately)? Or have things quieted down a bit? (armistice, peace, uneasy alliance etc.) And hmm... and how do we deal with the problem of the Rooktan?


The lore is starting to get very, very messy.

 

[Zaire Ananta]

The Jaak Ti are gone and dead. The OIGA wiped them out thousands of years ago. In my profile it talks about how Rand realizes that he is thousands of years old but he can remember only 397 years ago because he has resets every now and again. Back then thousands of years ago OIGA tech was crude like mechanical bullets (metal). The Jaak Ti were already into laser technology, teleportation, phase weapons, electromagnetic cannons. But the Jaak Ti were outnumbered. And to say something about what AlphaDraco said, maybe the OIGA was mainly humans so many years ago or maybe everybody agreed that they needed the type of weapons the Jaak Ti had.

 

[LeviathanL]

won't it be easier to just make them the same race as the precursors then?

 

[Zaire Ananta]

I guess but the hardlight tech and the mark tech dont fit in with each other. But i suppose you could be right

 

[Quarantinetimer]

I don't think they would make a good precursor candidate because OIGA has clearly fought against them, and their history would be clearly written into OIGA archives. And we have to consider the issue with the Devor. If OIGA managed to wipe out the Jakk Ti, then the Devor clearly did not do the job.


The precursors must be in existence way before humans ever became a space-faring race, before OIGA and any other current superpowers are even formed.
