Wait.

About pressure....if these things were to ever leave whatever thing they use to sustain the pressure on their bodies, assuming of course they developed in depths that had a lot of pressure on their bodies, then wouldn't they burst, effectively making them one hit point wonders against whatever other races there are?

[javierpwn]

Yes, unless they developed closer to the surface

Stop talking about the wrong race, we are obviously space hippies, not fish!

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Space squid hippies that burst under pressure.

Woo first char! Also, the whole smithing underwater arguement is a moot point anyway considering that there are other ways to raise the general tech level than metallurgy.

We just didn't since they're more difficult, and we could metalwork. Plus, we're going to think in a human fashion, not a Kakt or whatever fashion, meaning that they may have thought of thingswe never would have, and vice versa.

And finally, if we went with any race that didn't seem plausible, it doesn't really matter that it was unlikely; we'd be playing in a setting where it was unlikely, but it happened anyway.

To elf(ninja): They wouldn't burst. Humans don't burst immediately if we get out of a space-suit. They'd get the equivalent of the bends, though, if it was in water, start suffocating if it was in air, and probably have an extremely bad reaction in space, worse than the blood bruising(And maybe boiling if there was enough exposed) a human would get. But why would their suits be super weak anyway?

On another note...WHOOO FIRST FACTION!

Nvm.

Say a laser hits it? Meh, these are deep-sea creatures presumably, and in reality those do burst if brought out of their depth.

[Rolepgeek]

Deep sea, yeah. And do they burst immediately, or after a few seconds to minutes, like people do in space. Of course, this is only if their entire space suit is removed, or a large hole is ripped and it's not skin tight. If it's skintight, hopefully it might just be a blood-bruise or the like. Might lose one of their nine limbs, but hey. Nine limbs.

Spoiler: Major character (click to show/hide)

Voss Remaut a stout muscular man with a rough angry face and shoulder length black hair, knotted close to his scalp to remain short and out of the way. A devout follower of Thulia, Voss has become the leader of the Thulian Conservative and most wanted person by the humans shortly after Sherva Thulia's death.

Shelves Thulia was a luxury liner's passenger before an attack and failed attempt at boarding lead to a crash landing on a barely liveable planet. The casualties count was immense but a good few hundred people survived, among them Thulia. Thulia, eleven at the time, witnessed the highly religious lead the group in one direction then the next and ultimately fail as the last leader committed suicide. Thulia took over control at age nineteen immediately after, wiping all preservationistic attitudes from the group with a single speech. Voss was born under Thulias rule and grew up working for him and eventually immediately under him as the years dragged on. Thulia preached a hate for the religion that was so popular among the humans, feeding a rage in the people. When the group was contacted by a prospector, he was coaxed into landing and commandeered. Shortly after vessel after vessel arrived as Voss and his Navy pirated more and more. Voss became fleet admiral, as a motley fleet began to form. After Thulia perished of old age Voss has taken over, whispers of doubt are set silent with successful raid after raid, improving his people's way of life each day, turning the he'll hole they are dug in to a into a stronghold, made impregnable by the large force surrounding it, the deathworld it inhabits, or the attitudes of it's citizens.


Voss is considered merciless and unforgiving, choosing the scare tactic over release of hostages and absolutely obliterating any escapees to prevent any knowledge of his attacks being spread.

Minor note: The planet is on the distant outer rim, barren with relatively high metal stores and noxious atmosphere. Wildlife is rare, foreign, and dangerous but not nonexistant by any means. Flora is very rare and hard to cultivate in captivity.

Organisation name: Thulian Conservative
 Economic power: Surviving on scraps and trading with no one economic power is weak at first glance but a high metal planet may prove to be a booming industry in the soon coming years as productivity jumps each time a raiding party returns.
Military power: High. A large amount of vessels, painted with multiple flags and with multiple signal masks allow them to blend in and strike opportunisticly. Right now however they have no original ships or shipyards and mere numbers is how most conflicts are decided.
Popularity: Very unpopular with everybody, not only because of who they are and what they do but because they are hard to find and catch, either disappearing or blowing themselves up if captured.

Name: Cassis Guarra
Description: Large in both height and width, Cassis has short brown hair, a slight scar on his left cheek from a childhood fight and a blank look in his eye. He carries around a symbol from the religious communtiy he grew up in, and looks to it to calm himself down.
Biography: Quick to anger, Cassis has been avoided by the others in the peaceful community in which he grew up in. While he isn't "clever" "smart" or "more intelligent than a sack of bricks" he is a good public speaker, and roused up many people in his childhood, once leading a classroom "revolt" against a teacher who scolded him for talking during class. After about 2 more of these incidents he was sent to a local religious order to try and calm his anger and revolutionary spirit. However, seeing the empire in which he lived go down a path he didn't see as right drove him to leave the order and form a grooup to set the entire empire on the right track.


Organisation name: Homines Libertatis
Description:
     -Economical power: Not very powerful, many merchants seem to want to avoid associating with Cassis on a regular basis for some reason...
     -Military power: Very strong, Cassis's viewpoint is that no revolution can hope to succeed without a strong and vast army.
     -Popularity: Depends on who you ask, while many feel similiarly to Cassis, some have decided to not take action, go about the revolution another way, or peacefully protest (the weirdos...). However, there is still a very large amount of people who support Cassis and his goals and Cassis is VERY popular among them. Some of those people are men of science, some of philosophy, but mostly of militaristically minded men. No matter how different they all seem they all share a common idea: The Empire must change, forcefully, and Cassis is the right one to lead such a revolution..
