Hello everyone. I am starting up a new RP thread "Blackwater." The story is based around a motley crew of the starship "Blackwater" as they adventure through the cosmos, explore planets, and get into odd situations. I will host this with few rules. The rules I have are necessary to follow though. 1. Do Not Meta (make actions for another), Do Not Play God. 2. Leave all Out Of Character posts here. This includes ideas and character sheets. 3. Stay in character on the main thread, no random posting. Mechanics will be similar to what currently has been shown; there will be a mothership to travel the stars and planetary interactions will be handled with smaller craft. I will occasionally require a player to roll a D20 if they do something pass/fail. Character Sheet is as follows: Name: Age: Physical Description: Personality: Job on Ship: Background: Example: Name: P.I.S.C.E.S (Procedural Intelligence Ship Control and Engineering System) Age: 3 Description: all hardware on the "Blackwater." Uses the intercom, usually uses a voice similar to Samuel Jackson but occasionally slides in a bit of Angelina Jolie "because it's funny." Personality: 40% bad puns, 20% sarcasm, 20% sass, 20% accidentally badass, 100% helpful. Job: ship functions control, analysis and scanning, navigation assistance and star database. Background: created for the ship, Pisces was corrupted accidentally upon transference to the Blackwater. While it's primary directives are intact, it also developed self awareness. I will make the IC once there are at least 4 characters. After that, people may join or leave at any time. List of approved characters: Pisces-Paladin-Active Michael Home-The_Director-Active Charon-bandon-Active
