Title: Space Wars [RPG Discussion]
Post by: Rakoua on September 23, 2012, 06:56:33 am
Discuss the upcoming RPG. Preview here:
http://www.mlno.org/index.php/topic,15014.new.html


The concept is going to be similar to the Space Wars RPG from a few years ago, but with only the Star Wars and Star Trek species and tech, not Bionicle and such.

I only posted a preview because I want to start it when we get more members (hopefully when some of our plans start working)

~Current profiles~

Rakoua

MLNO Username: Rakoua
Character Name: Rakoua
Age: Unknown, probably several thousand years
Gender: None
Species: Founder
Faction: Starfleet
Personality: Like the rest of his species, he likes order and despises chaos. However, he doesn't dislike monoforms. He also has quite a calm temper.
Bio: He was one of the initiators of the project in which the Founders sent out 100 changelings to explore the galaxy. After the Dominion war, he also chose to leave their homeworld  and joined Starfleet to attempt to bring the two powers closer. He's currently a captain in Battlegroup Omega.
Weapons and tools: None
Appearance: Generally has an appearance similar to Odo's, but he occasionally changes it.
Other: None

Blade

MLNO Username: Blade
Character Name: Blade Hikari
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Species: Force Wielding Human
Faction: Starfleet
Personality: A person filled with justice, Blade wishes to protect the order of the worlds and universe, and will risk everything possible.
Bio: Stumbling into the endless star fights, Blade had to make do with what he could of the situation, not really having a clue which side to join; eventually choosing Starfleet randomly.
Weapons and tools: LightSaber Chainblade. Don't ask how it works, it's less complicated that way.
Appearance: Brown hair, green eyes, you know the deal.
Other: This is not related to any other version of Kaze or Blade before this.


The Truth

Username: The Truth
Character Name: Darth Vitrial (born Marana N'Kai)
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Species: Pureblood Sith
Bio: Vitrial appears loyal to the Empire, but at heart, she's a true Sith - only out for herself.
Weapons: Force powers (duh), two red lightsabers.
Appearance: Typical of her species, she has red skin and very short tentacles on her face. Her hair is red as well, and she keeps it tied in a ponytail.


Username: The Truth
Character Name: Cube
Age: ??
Gender: N/A
Species: Unknown - Cube was created as an experiment by the Rakata.
Bio: Cube was found imprisoned in a vault on Belsavis. The Rakata writings outside the vault claimed Cube had been corrupted by the warlike Esh-Kha and their God, the World Razer. The Empire released it nonetheless.
Weapons: Shapeshifting, minor Force powers, some old Rakata tech.
Appearance: Varies - Cube is a shapeshifter.

Darth Rexus
MLNO Username: Darth Rexus
Character Name: Specimen #015014
Age: N/A
Gender: Male
Species: N/A
Faction: Captured by the Empire and held in captivity for testing
Personality: N/A
Bio: Found lying alone in deep space orbiting a binary star with only a life-support suit to sustain him (the suit was connected to one of the nearby stars for power.). He was taken aboard a lab-ship for further identification. Disconnecting the suit revealed that over the years said suit collected extra power from the star to put in a secondary power-storage that it now relies on.
Weapons and tools: An ancient form of blaster was found on his person when he was found, the blaster has long since been deactivated by possible violent means.
Appearance: Still inside the life-support suit scientists have yet to see what Specimen #015014 looks like, although visual signs of burns on the life-support suit tell Imperial scientists that Specimen #09978 was put into a state of un-consciousness by some sort of conflict and may possibly have some form of battle injury.
Other: N/A

Yup, you will be able to use this RPG to kill people in a different manner.

Title: Re: Space Wars [RPG Discussion]
Post by: Rakoua on September 23, 2012, 04:19:04 pm
Yes, he's helping me actually. Well, probably. I sent it to him a few weeks ago.

You can start PMing your profiles to me. The topic is open and the actual slaughter of each other should start by the end of next week.

Profiles added, we can begin. Hopefully more people will join.

OK, our first fight got out of hand. And we were using all canon weapons. Let's tone it down a bit - no superweapons except in special occasions, and no writing what affect your weapon has on the enemy.

(Example of the first: "I bring out three death stars."
Example of the second: my lasers blow up <playername>'s ship.)


Title: Re: Space Wars [RPG Discussion]
Post by: Blade on October 02, 2012, 09:43:38 pm
Well, there's also the fact that you guys were using stuff from different universes. Which probably also had an effect. =P


Title: Re: Space Wars [RPG Discussion]
Post by: Rakoua on October 03, 2012, 12:46:18 pm
Phaser cannons and quantum torpedoes are standard on Starfleet vessels though.


Title: Re: Space Wars [RPG Discussion]
Post by: The Truth on October 03, 2012, 01:11:08 pm
Phasers, yes. Quantum torpedoes? Never heard of them, and they're seeming a bit overpowered.


Title: Re: Space Wars [RPG Discussion]
Post by: Rakoua on October 03, 2012, 01:20:06 pm
Quantum torpedoes aren't that much more powerful than photon torpedoes. If you want something overpowered (at least as overpowered as using the Force to manipulate ship to ship battles =P) you're looking for transphasic torpedoes. They can kill a Borg cube with one shot, ignore shields and armor and can't be seen or sensed. But I decided against using such weaponry.


Title: Re: Space Wars [RPG Discussion]
Post by: The Truth on October 03, 2012, 01:22:23 pm
*reads wiki*
Oh, that's why I never heard of them...I've only ever seen TNG.

Both sides have some overpowered stuff, I guess - Death Stars, Plague bombs (one wiped out an entire galaxy...), Abeloth's Force Psychosis, and anything involving the Celestials, for Star Wars.


Title: Re: Space Wars [RPG Discussion]
Post by: Rakoua on October 03, 2012, 01:25:36 pm
ST expanded universe isn't considered canon, so I have to work with the overpowered stuff from the series or the movies.

But I'll go with transphasic stuff then.

May I change this bio as the story progresses? I don't want everything to be "N/A" when a few posts into the RPG and I will give out the necessary information to fill in those boxes.


Title: Re: Space Wars [RPG Discussion]

Just PM me the changes when you want me to add them.

Also, would you mind helping me a bit with advertising the RPG? On the LMBW chat?


Title: Re: Space Wars [RPG Discussion]

Sounds good to me, thanks.

Sure. I'll do what I can.


Title: Re: Space Wars [RPG Discussion]
Post by: Rakoua on October 06, 2012, 03:21:56 pm
Alright. Pick a battleship to be on during the current battle if you want. Ignore the fact that it got a bit out of hand, it should be handled now.


Title: Re: Space Wars [RPG Discussion]
Post by: Darth Rexus on October 06, 2012, 03:41:51 pm
I think I'll wait for the hostilities to die down a little bit before I begin, to make sure my posts aren't drowned out by the call of battle.


Title: Re: Space Wars [RPG Discussion]
Post by: Rakoua on October 06, 2012, 03:52:53 pm
Alright, though you might want to make a temporary character for the battle, could be fun.


Title: Re: Space Wars [RPG Discussion]

Mmk, I'll just make-up some generic officer or something.


Title: Re: Space Wars [RPG Discussion]

Sounds good. I don't want this to die a few days after it started =P

Well, depends, if you want to control a variety of different televisions, DVD players and such, they are.

What I want to know is what the space wars forum link was, if it hasn't been hypernuked lol.

That site is so dead my former nametag has disappeared from existence. Perhaps Space Wars needs to be its own thing, rather than a huge mess of just about every space-thing around. Or maybe that was the charm, that in the beginning it was not a RPG but a huge crazy battle where everyone did what they thought would be an adequate counter to what others did?


Title: Re: Space Wars [RPG Discussion]
Post by: Blade on December 19, 2012, 01:43:52 pm
The latter might be the thing; the fact that it requires a more text based layout. I like layouts like in all the other RPGs as much as anyone, but I think Space Wars' charm was partially because of it using asterisk-based layouts so much. =P


Title: Re: Space Wars [RPG Discussion]
Post by: Trijhak on December 19, 2012, 05:40:27 pm
I think Space Wars 1 still echoes on, as it probably somewhere had a nuke so large in it that it echoed throughout time, destroying space wars itself, causing cracks in the universe to appear, causing space wars to suddenly not exist, causing a paradox, causing the cracks to disappear, causing space wars to reappear, repeat, and that is why it keeps getting revived and subsequently dying, because the universe keeps contradicting itself. :b

And then? It really wants to be revived, it seems. This is just my little take on SW.


Title: Re: Space Wars [RPG Discussion]
Post by: Blade on December 19, 2012, 05:45:00 pm
Hmm, maybe; though that would mean we'd just have to create a bigger bang, in the heart of the nuke!

Yep, that was the original intention. I was never meant to be more than something like 'get that cookie now' - a freeforall chaos battle. The fact it actually turned into a real RPG, with a storyline and everything, is kinda amazing.


Title: Re: Space Wars [RPG Discussion]
Post by: Saturn2.0 on January 04, 2013, 03:35:44 pm
Well we've all kind of used up our imagination and dedication to continue playing. I couldn't think of anything different from gas converting and landsharks lol. I can't simply start a new empire with new villains, technology, and motives every time someone destroys the previous one, although that was pretty fun. I can't always remember this site still exists sometimes so.

.....oh, how about a zombies IESA chapter? I could think of something if you'd like. Chapters 4 and 5 are missing from the forum.


Title: Re: Space Wars [RPG Discussion]
Post by: Blade on January 05, 2013, 10:18:48 am
That might be an idea. And to again get back to the old styles of playing, since overpowered-ness worked for this. =P


Title: Re: Space Wars [RPG Discussion]
Post by: Saturn2.0 on February 08, 2013, 02:23:31 pm
Yup. I looked at all my last comments in the last chapter. Dafudge was I doing?
