Futuristic The Travelers

[Paranoid Android]

Honestly, Offside plagiarized the idea from me so at this point its just a common starting grounds for RP's.
We're still accepting members, though I'd reccommend getting a CS up ASAP as the ship is to take off as soon as @Carix 's character joins in.

I'll just leave his backstory as WIP. It's 0:30 here, and I have to wake up at 6 am to get ready for class so I don't have much time.

 

[Paranoid Android]

I really can't post now, so after I arrive from school I'll make my introduction post as if it happened around the same time as other people's in case the ship has departed.

It's cool guys, I'll hang fire on my response to Sebastian for a little while to give everyone an opportunity to post. Look forward to meeting both your characters @Paranoid Android, @Carix

 

[Paranoid Android]

My character's arrival time represents me and this thread.


@Shireling That Weyland patch on your character's uniform... You better not be carrying a filthy xenomorph fetus inside your stomach to our ship.

 

[Carix]

I wrote that out using Google's Speech to Text.


Please point out any problems, since that was an experiment :3.

My inner space nerd must point out how constellations change shape when in interplanetary, let alone interstellar, travel. Navigating by the stars would be inefficient at best. The best bet to navigating would to have all the stars, their names and locations, including the Sun compiled into a database to be used as a reference. Ie, "Oh, we're near _______, that means these stars are nearby."


Sorry, again space nerd. Lovely character, though.

 

[Carix]

Naturally. I was under the assumption that they would, at the very least, have a 3 Dimensional map of the known, observable Universe.

 

[Soviet Panda]

Oh bullocks, wrong rp. Damn.

 

[Lokipi]

hey @Natatec, want me to wait for you to give the green light for launch or should I type up a reply about the launch happening just off the bat? I'm cool with either

 

[Smntha]

I'll be posting shortly

 

[OffSideTech]

Sorry to everyone for disappearing. I was sick around the starting of the RP which set me back entirely. If not obvious already @Natatec is the OP of the rp. Sorry about my absence again. I'll try to be active on OOC but I do not believe I will join the rp.

 

[Lokipi]

@OffSideTech welcome back man, and sorry for not posting yet guys, currently doing some late night cramming for Uni

 

[Lokipi]

again an update, I am still around will have a post tomorrow morning for you! Unless @OffSideTech wants to take over the pilot position of the ship again, just in time for the launch.

 

[OffSideTech]

@Natatec brought up the point that if my character was to show up in the last minute the crew would have trust issue with their tardy pilot.

 

[Lokipi]

so you still in the rp then??

 

[Lokipi]

@Natatec and @OffSideTech, okay I will start up on my post, sorry it took so long guys! @Carix , @Beowulf, @notasci, @Shireling


Before I start though, how does the ship actually launch? are we going for one of our typical 'blast off' rockets, or hover like take off. Jets push up from the bottom and lift it until its far enough to engage the back jets and propel them into the sky?

 

[Smntha]

Since the ship's appearance is still undecided and up for suggestions - for now I'll say we'll leave it up to your creativity in terms of how it launches.

 

[Lokipi]

Alright then, I'll go with a mix then xD
