Futuristic The Deep Dark: A Space-Age, Galactic Freeroam RP

[whitefoxkiller]

I can do that. It seems you definitely have a lot of aliens, what do you need though?

 

[AlphaDraco]

You could never have enough aliens, though you could create an organization or nation that resides outside of the OIGA's control.

 

[Spacekitty]

I have an idea for oen of those


And their not a precursor or immortal race this time.

 

[LeviathanL]

Voids Walking:
Voids Walking is an ability wielded by very few individuals named Void Walkers. Walkers are able to open a portal to their own personal pocket dimension dubbed "the void".


Creating a portal could be compared to digging a hole in a wall. Because of this, creating larger or multiple portals can cause great fatigue for a Walker.


Usage:


Storage/Bunker


Because the void is inaccessible to anybody else (including other Walkers), it is primarily used as a personal storage space. Some walkers are known to also use the void as a safe zone.


Travel


Distance is not perfectly translated between this dimension and the void. As such, some Walkers who have mastered their ability are able to travel distances by opening a portal, entering the void, and then creating a second portal back into our dimension.


@Cry U 945


This was my idea for Voids Walking. Aye? Nay?

I feel that is basically what L-crystals & my char already do.

 

[whitefoxkiller]

okay I have one - United Dominions


A little bit like the UN of the galaxy, its a group of large nations and corporations that was initially meant to protect the people/groups/planets with very little power. The largest governments and groups of governments initially pressured the largest corporations (especially mining corporations, who tend to have the worst record when it comes to worker treatment) to sign a contract detailing how they were to treat workers and planets and such, under the threat of destruction of assets. Originally, it sparked a huge wave of labor reforms but over time it began to become a way for politicians to become rich by pandering to the corporations. Now the duties of a UD peacekeeper is to break of strikes and rebellions and to enforce borders between corporation's asset space. It now holds more control over the government's who created it than over the corporations it was meant to control, and many new contracts that are created under the UD's authority have to do with the prevention of embargoes and treaties that hold governments under certain promises with the threat to not trade to the government's citizens.


okay let me know if that all makes sense. I have a feeling some of it makes sense in my head and not on the page.

 

[AlphaDraco]

There we go, Characters are up.

 

[Yesman]

I feel that is basically what L-crystals & my char already do.

The reason I think it's different is because while while your character can phase/teleport using the L-crystal, it's not exactly the magic-y weird force stuff I was going for (which personally, I think I failed at). Anyway, I don't really mind if Cry rejects the idea on grounds that it's too similar to your character.


Actually, that gives me an idea. @Quarantinetimer, if Cry lets my Voids Walking idea pass, do you mind if I use the L-crystal as something that boosts a Void Walker's ability.

 

[Quarantinetimer]

Void walking is starting to venture into the realm of science fantasy. If it gets approved, the walkers are no doubt going to be a very secretive type, and the ability will not be known in the galactic community.


And if you can give a sound explanation on how exactly L-Crystals augment void walking, (and the idea gets approved), you can use them.


It's very difficult to harness their power though, and LeviathanL's character is only able to do it because of his superior intellect + extreme motivation, I presume.

 

[whitefoxkiller]

I agree with @Quarantinetimer if the voidwalkers get approved it should be like a cult but a cult of scientists who worship science and are just crazy extreme. Like, risking their lives to test a new drug kind of crazy.

 

[whitefoxkiller]

Its your characters though...

 

[Spacekitty]

Idk if I can join anymore... Getting a bit busy

True, it is going into the fantasy side of stuff but...oh well. I wasn't exactly going for a cult, just a rare ability found in few individuals regardless of species or gender.


BTW @Quarantinetimer is there any thing more you could tell me about the L-crystals other than what's already in the lore? I came up with the idea of the crystals boosting Void walking because Lev had that phasing tech powered by it. I have no idea how he does it and I certainly have no idea how I'll do it without knowing a little more about the crystals.

I think he is supposed to be the only one who can. Afterall, using it the first time caused him to have to be on life support.

oh I see, sorry I misunderstood what you were going for

 

[AlphaDraco]

So, who all is still in this RP?

 

[Quarantinetimer]

@Yesman, Do NOT use the material below for any real world applications. For a realistic explanation of how quantum teleportation works, find a subject matter expert (meaning the following is complete fictional bullshit, designed only to enhance your rp).


Recently, researchers have been intrigued by the unique teleportation-like properties of the L-Crystals, and there are ongoing studies to find out more information about the phenomenon. Theories have been put forward regarding their principle of operation, with the most prominent one -the Vont-Kampf Thesis, linking it to quantum teleportation, in which quantum information can be teleported through entangled pairs of particles.


Before the L-Crystals, only individual particles have been teleported in experimental conditions, and the results were heavily disputed. Even the fact of whether teleportation actually occurred was subjected to debate . The discovery of the L-Crystal's particular behavior resolved the deadlock almost immediately. Currently, latest findings seem to indicate that these crystals may even have the ability to entangle other particles present near them. As usual, more experiments are required to establish a reasonable certainty of causality.


Conspiracy theorists have claimed that galactic powers actively involved with L-Crystal research, such as governments and mega-corporations, may be concealing the true scale of their discoveries from the galactic community, inferring that practical applications may already exist. Some even claim to possess documents describe teleportation devices that are augmented by L-crystals. However, these are generally regarded as hoaxes, as the documents are poorly written and contain references to non-existent government officials.

Dammit, that doesn't sound like digging a hole in space. I don't think I'll be able to use the crystal, then. Oh well, thanks anyway.

 

[LeviathanL]

Really need some more characters, only 3 players have made some.


and they still have to be approved

 

[whitefoxkiller]

I would just like to know if I'm in, I don't want to hang around awkwardly if I'm not....

 

[Yesman]

Do we have a guild/faction dedicated solely to exploring and/or documenting new discoveries? If not, I might create one if Voids walking doesn't get through.

 

[Cry U 945]

@whitefoxkiller you can go ahead and join, sorry it took so long to get a response out. I'll go back a couple of pages and check to see anything I may have missed and reply. Also, on the CS if you get a like from me that means you're approved.

 

[whitefoxkiller]

@whitefoxkiller[/URL] you can go ahead and join, sorry it took so long to get a response out.

sweet, thanks man.


anyway I'm gonna start working on an alien race? Maybe? I might just make a human character for the rp.

How about having the Void Walking skill be more technology based, like a container that seems to hold infinite volume but really just shrinks things to a much smaller level? I personally don't mind the ability but at the same time I'd prefer to keep things sort of more in the sci-fi realm so as to preserve the theme we currently have going with things. In other words, if it is an ability afforded in some manner by technology then I'll approve it and help you hammer out the details.

As far as the faction itself goes, I have no problem fitting it into things, as it adds some variety if we have more than one governing body. We'll probably locate the headquarters somewhere between the galactic edge and the galactic core so as to avoid conflict of territory with OIGA but be close enough that they communicate and have a relationship of sorts.

Idk if I can join anymore... Getting a bit busy

Alright, well if you can't then I understand, Bob, but just keep in mind that you can come back any time, so, you know... don't be a stranger!

@Jarkov Malachai


Hey, are you still in this as well?

 

[Jarkov Malachai]

Probs not, tis took to long. But feel free to use My Dredge if need be. Just ask me if you have any questions as they are my babies and i do like to see them portrayed correctly.
