so my name is nix. i was once an avid member on here and i thought i would return. I thought why not return with a roleplay to meet the new faces. this roleplay will be posted in fun. if it gets better and cooler ill continue it on serious but that will take a while.
the idea is i am out in space in a space ship all alone just chilling and i am about to head off to a near by system and i wanted to know if there is any body who wants to join. you can join the roleplay in anyway you want as long as you stay within forum rules.
examples: "your ship comes out of warp drive 100 meters away from me and you make contact." or you were my co pilot. or you were smuggled in my cargo bay. some sort of story like that. i am just curios as to who is willing to join.
we can go on any adventure or do anything. also there will be a post order...unless the person that is to post doesn't post within 24 hours then the next will post and the one who did not post will be moved to the end of the list. if he/she is at the end of the list then he will be skipped. the list will go in order of sign up. i will be first to start. (duh :P ) who is up for it?
-
Howdy! I myself just joined. This looked like a clean - ish role play site and I do like sci fi.
I would be willing to join. I wont be the fastest role player due to rl but im experianced at it :3
-
sweet then! my other friend will join also. I will call it "endless space" and it will be in the fun roleplay section. please read the forum roleplay rules before posting though. the list now is
:nixon.
:cool.
i will update it as people join. now...off to the rp!!
-
Sweet. I'll sweet what sort of alt i will bring after we get the story rolling :3
-
Im thinking either a shady merchant character or a loud mouth gun slinger. Ill post some details later ^^
-
It is up! Now it is your turn.
-
Ah see! Except...i dont see where you put the thread XD
-
It is in the fun roleplay board. Endless space is the title remember.
-
Ok i found it. I just did not realize how many people post per day here o.o i just lost track of it in the endless sea of threads XD
i'll post here in a little bit ^^
-
That happens a lot on the roleplay board
Post Merge: January 19, 2015, 11:56:48 PM
Also may I add if possible post a description on here or the roleplay board of your character. So I know "what" is about to be on my ship. Or a picture of you can find one. (Heck I could draw it if even.
-
Lol forgot to mention what drak looked like on this thread. Ill post a more detailed description later here but for now imagine a six limbed coyote with a spotted fur pattern and a long lion like tail.
Also what does nix look like? Or is he like your avatar photo?
-
Avatar photo. Your dude sounds alien...I love it! I am going to be scared when I see you.
-
Lol! I was thinking of pulling out an monsterous centipeed engineer but, im using that idea for an actual story so i fell back on drakki ^^
Also what color is nix?
On a side note I should mention that I am skilled at eldrich abominations and multi dimensional critters as well <.<
I doubt i will be bringing any here though. They are hard to play with out god moding them XD
-
Your crew of people sound like a fun bunch. Regular Lombax coloring. Yellowish fur and orange stripes.
-
Lol! After drakki's enterence all those sci fi movies where the alien dramatically appears begin to make sense in a different way :3
I'll let you find out icly whether or not your alt has valid reasons to worry about Drakki >:3
-
XD I do believe it is my time to join there Nix!
-
Yep yep yep! :)

It is tairikus turn to post and then I will post. The scene you described is...very...well if I was there in irl I would crap my self.
-
I'll take that as a compliment ^^
And all life pods should be opened with a degree of drama and excitement. Its in the escape pod charter somewhere ....
-
Sence Tairiku has not posted yet I will post then you and then he can post once he gets to it. (I know him in irl and his life has been busy with work.)
Post Merge: January 22, 2015, 02:34:53 PM
The list is
Nixon:
Tairiku:
Cool:
That is the posting order. Please abide by the list.
-
Since my space mercanary idea died i think i will join this rp. I still have to read what you guys have posted already though so i won't post right away, that and once i'm done reading i will have to come up with characters.
-
Overlord you will post after cool.
-
Ok got it. So is there a protagonist already in this rp cause i would gladly be a protagonist. I never really have gotten the chance and i began thinking that someone must have blown up Cool's character's ship which is why he is in an escape pod. Basically what i'm suggesting is my character could have blown up his ship and is now tracking him down to finish the job. My character idea is basically a space pirate.
-
I love it! You don't have to enter in the pirate immediately but you should go with it. Build up some suspense.
Posting order update.
Nixon:
Tairiku:
Cool:
Overlord:
-
Oh i'm next. I will think of something to post.
-
Im cool with that ^^ basically drakki was jetisoned for unrelated reasons he will go into eventually but i had planned something ironically bad happening to the ship he was toss overboard from and they would need that particular escape pod to survive...and it would be gone :D I just never figured out what exactly happened to the ship after they threw drak overboard :3
So feel free to have said you blew up draks ship ^^ it was a simple frieghter carrying a variaty of species and cargo...or what ever else we need to make a plot hook out of it :3
-
Overlord! If you can please find a picture of the space ship or even describe it to me in pm and I'll try to draw it. I really want to see this ship. Btw love your introduction.
-
Love how everyone has such complex and detailed starts D: and mine is short and kinda comical (T~T)
-
Lol! Yours was just fine :D we need more gluttonous wolfish stowaways in rp :D He will get along great with Drakki!
Unless he eats all the food. Then bad things will happen ^^ Space survival 101. Dont eat all the rations on a ship filled with large preditory creatures with sharp pointy teeth. A. It makes you slower and its bad for your diet. B. All the afore mentioned preditory have nothing to eat when they get hungry...>:3
But Drakki wouldn't hurt a fly...honest...<.< >.>
And yes. I do tend to fluff up my posts a bit either intentionally or not. Mostly i was trained to make a story so i kind of just imagine what I would want to read if I were reading the story and I tend to drift towards moderately detailed stories in my spare time.
Not tolkien level of detail where every rock would have a name and detailed back story, but enough to make it live a little. So far I am most please by this rp ^^
Also...it helps when you are job hunting have have an unhealthy ammount of free time :/
-
This picture looks close enough, the only difference is my ship has 6 more smaller flack turrets on the sides of the ship (3 on each side) to deal with smaller ships. Also a few more turrets underneath, to deal with ships that try to attack from bellow. i guess i could say the smaller turrets pop up during space combat and get covered up out of combat.

Hmm...i thought the jpg. would be bigger.

-
Nice ship...I'll post in a few hours just wait a little longer. School is hard with home work. :S
-
Yeah, I'm having similar problems :)
-
Quick question does you ship have any guns on it?
-
only a few lasers and it is a form of cargo/science vessel. not many guns no but there is a cloaking and warp gate ability. though the warp gate is a one use per 24 hours kind of thing.
-
Nai ish joining this. And hey! Join this RP guise
http://www.thefurryforum.com/forums/index.php?topic=26713.0 (http://www.thefurryforum.com/forums/index.php?topic=26713.0)
-
Lol! I didnt even think to advertise on other threads. Yes. Me and Nai have started a redshirt rp. One where alts are expendable ^^
-
I wouldn't advertise on other peoples stuff, some people don't like it. Its like advertising your channel on youtube by posting on someone else's videos. Those people are generally called leeches.
-
Thanks for the advice XD
-
The order now is
Nixon:
Tairiku:
Cool:
Overlord:
Naismith:
-
Nai should post his introduction then.
-
yes nai should post his intro to the roleplay. make it good nai.
-
I have a quick suggestion. I notice our group is actually getting a little big for using the ordered post thing. I have seen this style of posting used before and it does work on a small rp with like two or three people. However as the group gets larger, posting become more difficult because of how they have to wait to talk with certain people. I have had an rp fall apart from this method of posting and i wouldn't want that to happen again. Basically what i am saying is we may have to lose the posting order at some point or roleplay may become difficult, unless we take control of other peoples character during a conversation. If people talk with each other before a post is made we could do that and still keep posting order.
-
I love that idea! Ok...is every one else good with that? Because I am fine with it. I will post my post in a few minutes then this posting will take effect.
If you are in a conversation or in a interaction with a nother character you must talk to them in personal messaging.
For example. I will post(( nix makes it into the cafeteria and closes the door behind him. He turns to see drakki holding a sandwich like a club at some one he does not remember.)) but before I post this I will ask drakki what he would be ok with happening. Or for nai and overlord they might talk in personal messaging how the fight should go. And nai could tell me in pm what me and his ship should do or even he could ask if he could take control of how my ship fights in the battle.
I love this idea and we will go with it just :don't take complete control of some ones character and talk to them before you do. Also don't make them die. Also no spam posting. Don't post twice. Post what you need in one post then let someone else post.
This is now In affect and if a good amount of people dislike it we can go back to the old way or find a new way.
P.s nice tro nai. I think there is going to be a battle or something. P.p.s nai please find a pic or make one of your ship "or" even describe it so we/I know what to go off of.
-
Ok this works and i also think once your done with a conversation, just copy and paste the conversation on who's ever turn it is so we can all read it.
-
P.s nice tro nai. I think there is going to be a battle or something. P.p.s nai please find a pic or make one of your ship "or" even describe it so we/I know what to go off of.
Heh... *jumps on space engineers* I'll Maybe get space engineers tonight, gon make me a BADASS ship.
-
Yo guys skip my turn. Let's just say I got lost in my own ship. I am busy tonight and can not post. Things are happening and no phone charger plus no computer nearby. Sorry :S
-
Tairiku hasn't been on to post yet. I wonder what's holding him up.
-
My bad T~T Just saw that he said to skip him, please forgive me ILY!

The URAP Belfast , the pinnacle of modern spaceship technology, is an Albatross class superheavy Frigate, with a complement of 5,970 men and women, (in comparison to a modern Nimitz class aircraft carrier's complement of 3,200) ,armed with 26 Magnetic Acceleration Cannons crewed by fifty men each(Totaling out to about 1,300 men) , and propelled by 10 Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rockets, crewed by a hundred men each(1,000).
It is equipped with an Faster Than Light drive based of the Alcubierre metric, that is, contracting space in front of it and expanding space behind it. In the resulting field, the speed of light is increased, so, feasibly, A ship can go faster than the speed of light. However, the speed of everything in this field is increased, so, in the Alcubierre field, light still travels faster than anything.
The Belfast's shield is based off of 'Photonic molecule' technology; that is, photons that behave like regular, massive molecules. This is done by pumping rubidium outside the ship, and cooling it until it is a few degrees above absolute zero. Then, a laser is shone through this rubidium filled void, Creating what is, in effect, a shield. The main problem with such shielding technology is that it cannot be used in atmosphere, So the Belfast has extremely thick, tungsten based, alternating Chobham (superheavy ceramic tiles encased within a metal matrix and bonded to a backing plate and several elastic layers)/Ablative armor(armor that chips/boils away with each impact).
The shield and FTL drive are crewed by 1,500 men each.It's Magnetic Accelerator cannons fire a 700x1400MM ferrous, Dual Purpose Improved Conventional Munitions shell that works in two stages. The first stage, a D-38 Depleted Uranium based self sharpening, phyrophoric (On impact with a hard target, such as an armored vehicle, the nose of the rod fractures in such a way that it remains sharp. The impact and subsequent release of heat energy causes it to disintegrate to dust and burn when it reaches air because of its pyrophoric properties.)penetrator. Once the ship is breached, the pyrophoric properties of Depleted Uranium activate a thermobaric explosive.
Traditional gunpowder is %25 fuel, and %75 oxygen, whereas thermobaric explosives are %100 fuel. (though they typically need some sort of smaller explosion/fire to set them off first)This serves to create a massive explosion, that is especially effective in the confined corridors of a spacecraft. Partly due to the sustained blast wave, and partly by consuming the available oxygen inside those confined spaces.However, if the ship is not breached, the round just harmlessly bounces off, ready to be salvaged by whoever wins the battle.
The Belfast uses "Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket" thrusters. That is, radio waves heat and ionize a propellant, then magnetic fields accelerate the resulting plasma to generate the thrust necessary to move the ship. Each of these Is crewed by a minimum of thirty men, though on a full ship like the Belfast, they are crewed by a hundred men.
The Belfast is equipped with two companies of marines, totaling out to about 270 men. (135 men each).Each URAP marine Is equipped with one suit of pressurized, self sealing, powered armor, with an on board personal medical computer, and a 10th generation Night Vision goggle.Their rifle, based off of the antiquated "G3" platform of rifles, is chambered for 7.62x55 URAP. The rifle comes with a magnetic attachment rail, and an integrated red, green, and infrared laser, self zeroing.
The Belfast's bridge, crewed by thirty men, is embedded deep within the ship. It is linked to several Ultra HD cameras on the outside of the ship, to give the appearance of being surrounded by glass, when in actuality, it is surrounded by several meters of Tungsten armor.For avionics and navigation, the Belfast has both a "Fundstücke" drone system, and an "Intermittent Scanning Pulse System", the latter only being used in dire emergencies. The drone system basically sends out dozens of tiny little drones that scan the area for about a few thousand kilometers around them. Though they are hard to find, even with the most modern sensors known to sentience, they can still be found. That is where the ISPS comes in. It sends out, as the name aptly described, an intermittent scanning pulse that gets a layout of the area for several hundreds of thousands of kilometers around the ship.
Though this will give away it's position to even the most rudimentary sensors.The ships final, last ditch weapon is a medium yield nuclear missile, crewed by 20 men. The adage "Shooting nukes" came into use with the standardization of one nuclear weapon per Albatross ship. The phrase, in it's essence, means "you're screwed." Because, even if you did survive, you would likely get a court martial. Because the nuclear launch codes signal URAP central Headquarters each time a missile is launched. This is to prevent them from using it on a planet.
The rest of the men on the Belfast are general purpose maintenance, cooks, and various other miscellaneous things necessary to run a ship.
hehe... that's the URAP Belfast!

THIS THING HAD BETTER BE ALIVE COS I PUT A TON OF RESEARCH INTO THAT AND I WANT TO AT LEAST FIGHT SOME PIRATES.
-
Lol nice!
-
Coolcoyote it your turn to post. The ship your on just got shot at.
-
I saw that. Ill try to have a post by tomarrow night. Starting at a new job tomarrow :D
-
Oh man that poor wolf o.o i hope we have a doctor alt aboard D:
-
Jeezel! I sure hope also. x_x Let me be the first to say "that escalated quickly."
-
if not then we can cue a humorous scene with us trying to figure out how to work a bacta tank or robotic doctor :D
-
Ooor dramatic scene where you rush him to the Belfast's sickbay :p
Btw, still pondering if I should have Sutherland's translator pick up Mr big mans language.
-
When someone is able to understand him i will finally be able to tell how he got into that life pod XD
-
I must find that out. How about I get my invisible ship around back of the good guy ship and request an emergeny dock with a translator when I land. And I say I have Wounded aboard. And try to get him to help, then I go to the bridge of the ship I landed in? Sound like an idea?
-
I have a plan to adress that actually ^^ but how ever you want to play it :3
-
Hi, I was recommended to join or "check out" the RP.
So uhh... im wondering.. is there a plausible spot to join? sounds like you guys met another ship and dont know what to do exactly?....
-
Well, you could be a crew-member aboard the Belfast! I always welcome new soldiers to the URP! :p
-
Or you could be my co pilot. I really need help with this large of a ship...no offence Tim. ^none taken sir.^ but yeah you can. I think we are still doing the posting order so you will be after Naismith. and who ever you decide to join make sure you personal message them your idea. *nix whispers* (or you could join my ship and be the captain and I can be the pilot. just food for thought.)
-
I did my post though :p soooo... He's next?
-
...yeah...if he has an entry. if he wants he can wait another turn. though now would be a great time for an intro. ;)
-
Lol... umm, so whats the whole order and why is your onboard VI named Tim? Hmmmm.. That means I can't be my own fursona ;) but it's ok. I'll be Shazza. Sorry if I scare anyone onboard though.
-
The order is
Nixon:
Tairiku:
Cool:
Overlord:
Naismith:
Tim:
That is the order
(Tim means "transmits, immediate, messages." He used to be the best ship a.i when some one came aboard my ship and upgraded him...a...lot. He is now an a.i that can track, and locate any thing in space with up to only two sectors away. And run the ship on its own. Though he does have a firewall from ever trying to think for him self. But don't tell him that. He can get mean. He is very protective.)
-
Ok, HOW should I introduce myself? I don't know the ships or who is what.... letalone how I should react to what's happening....
I don't even know what to have!
-
Well then read over the roleplay...decide which side you want to be on. There is the classic good guy big ship and the bad guy big ship. I am on my invisible ship heading to the good guy ship and the other two larger ships are heading toward each other ready for battle. Just think it over and describe which ship you want to be located on. A ship with a very scared alien that is being hunted on board of this dying ship. Or on the good guy ship fighting the Pirates or the Pirates fighting the good guys.
-
sorry for my absence. I will try to post sometime tonight or tomarrow XD...assuming its my turn? I think its my turn right? If not that is fine as well XD
-
Not until tim says he will post. Hey Tim! Maybe you should wait a turn and read up on the situation and then post your post. What do say?
-
ok. I'll read up and then make a decision.
-
Ok. When is a good place for me to post my next move then ^^
-
The list starts again. I will post soon today
-
Cool and overlord need to post now.
-
Ill have a post up soon but it is ok if overlord beats me too it ^^
I will try to save our woofy friend! D:
Or have Drakki eat him and get rid of the evidence o.o
I kid i kid, Drakki would Nevar do that...at least, as far as you know <.<
-
I'm gonna be on the ship with you Nix
-
Cool: I am good with that. Just let over know
Tim: alright man sweet. Make it a good one because you have plenty of time until it is your turn to post.
-
Who's turn is it 0.o
-
That is something k have been wondering since.... I joined.
-
I've been confused about that as well which why i stopped posting.
-
*shrug* I'm guessing there's a rather loose turn order... I dunno. post when you feel it is justified, I guess.
-
It was over lords turn but we will have to skip him sense he didn't post. Now it is Next person on the list. Which is Naismith.
-
Well there's not really much I can do right now until someone else responds, really. Either nix's ship has to dock, or overlord has to post.
-
I will post. Hey cool...let's make this scene some what comical. ;)
-
:D ok
