Character planning and intro-ing thread

[jewelfox]

As of right now, we have four players: redsixwing, sablin27, blackswanseer, and kaesa!

EDIT: We also have a provisional fifth player, adad64!

This is the thread where you all can introduce yourselves to each other. >_>b We would like it if you would each say a little about yourselves maybe, along with the following:

• Your preferred pronouns

• Your character concept so far

You are encouraged to comment on each other's concepts, and brainstorm ways that your characters might know each other or that their stories might fit together.

Speaking of stories, here is the plot: A group of people from the past end up in the sci-fi transhumanist future. The ways that someone can do so include, but are not limited to, cryogenic stasis and reconstruction from a thanogram. You can also play as someone from a Korean generation ship isolated society, if you like, one which may be socially and technologically regressive.

Finally, you can play as someone who's from the future and has to help the newcomers adjust ... or who wants them to play a role in their plans!

So yeah, please do the brainstorming thing in this thread. >_>b Don't forget that you can subscribe to individual comment threads, here on Dreamwidth.

More answers to questions will be forthcoming, if we can deal with our IRL stresses enough to do so. ^^;

I will start with the introductioning!

We use the first-person singular and plural interchangeably, but we prefer female pronouns (she/her).

We are considering having *Nemesis and/or The Investigator cameo in this RP. Mira's backstory is that she was genetically engineered to be an exotic pet, but was deemed unsuitable after causing a serious accident, and so she was cryogenically frozen and placed in a warehouse with other "products."

By the 50th century, the Suul'ka-influenced corporation which had created her had long since been dissolved, but not all of their caches had been identified. A Striker named *Nemesis found her, and took her under her wings as she adjusted to modern-day life.

There were almost certainly more people involved in this, both on the rescue archaeology side and in the frozen food section. >_>b

Hmmm. So, would our PCs be likely to start of knowing Mira and/or *Nemesis?

If the idea is that we're all waking up from cryogenic storage, maybe we're - if not in the same place as Mira - in a very similar boat, and thus likely to follow the same paths, or use the same resources.

[jewelfox]

If you know Mira, she's in the same boat as you, as you said. Either she's stuck in the same facility, or she's attending the same support group for new arrivals. >_>; I'll leave it to you to decide which one's more amusing.

*Nemesis is probably a Striker trying to find ancient Suul'ka caches. You're not likely to net her the kind of reward she expects, but she's not about to leave someone behind.

Knowing her, she'd probably try to take charge. >_> Her biggest weakness in SotS: The Pit is needing to eat a lot to sustain herself (roguelike resource management ahoy). I might stick her with a series of "weakened" consequences if she's had to go deep in a dungeon to find everyone, to keep her from dominating (socially as well as physically).

For any parts of the game that take place outside of a The Pit style dungeon, she may still be full of herself but she's also got more important things to do than babysit newcomers. In her own mind. >_>;

Either way, and for either character, I'll probably try to gauge people's reactions to them before tying them too deeply into the plot.
