Alright, I've had this idea floating around for a little while now, so, I thought I'd give it a whirl. The basic premise of this is giving the group a ship and letting you explore the galaxy as you see fit.
The worldbuilding, for the most part, is to let you create your own species and such (And save me some of the work in the process. And I like seeing everyone else's work.)
Setting-wise, the sci-fi is relatively soft. Psionics do exist, on varying levels of power. Space combat is a little bit more realistic than most settings. Carriers, for example, aren't as useful due to the distances involved and the ranges of most ship-borne weaponry. Manned fighter craft are also right out for space combat, though piloted atmospheric fighter craft are still used. I have my own civilisation ready to go, as well as what situation humanity is in, but I'll put that in the post below.
Anyway, I need one player to be the ship's owner/captain. You get free reign on the ship within reasonable limits (AKA no MilSpec stuff, nor anything too overpowered.) Same goes for the characters as well. You aren't high-profile celebrities or high ranking members of military and/or politicians, nor do you know anyone like that outside the news.
Anyway, a basic character sheet is below. Anyone submitting a race, planet or empire is welcome to do so in a format that they think is good, as long as it's readable.
Name:
Race:
Description:
Background:
I require atleast a paragraph of background before I'll accept a player. If you have some plot details that you wish to discuss with me, either in character creation or while the game is running with your character in it, feel free to PM me.
