I like the sound of B, but the amount of bookkeeping for you...

[kahn1234]

I like the sound of Option B, but i think Option A would be better for you in the long run (less book-keeping), so......i'm undecided.

And by comparing it to WH40K, i meant that the Warp is dangerous (the taint in this universe, Chaos gods and their minions in WH40K) and can easily screw you over big time but very fast and convenient

You have caught my interest.

I'd like to join your waitlist, if you could message me in case a spot opens up. I'm reading up now so that I might get used to the format.

Also; Would it not be a good idea to copy all the 

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name:
Age:
Gender:Male
Role: The role you take on the ship. See below.
Class: Soldier, Politician, Mage, or Special. The specifics of your class are decided by your Starsign and Humor- Special indicates a particular affinity with your sign. Despite providing special abilities, class is not entirely important- a well-trained politician could best a soldier in combat, and a particularly affluent warrior might be the better of a courtier in court. In order to work magic, you must be a mage.
Starsign: One of the twelve signs of the western zodiac. Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces.
Humor: One of the four classical humors. Sanguine, Choleric, Melancholic, Phlegmatic.
Description: A brief physical description of your character, including any cybernetic augmentations.
Background: A brief description of your character. This should give a good idea of their personality, goals, and skill sets. In addition, Captains should name their ship and outline the purpose of their travels.

Personal Effects: You may pick any five items. Tech-level isn't much higher than it is right now, and many items from Edo Period japan, especially in the way of weaponry and armor, have made a resurgence. You will be provided other gear based on your class and role.

Would like option B, if possible, but don't overstretch yourself.

Anything that isn't bold can be erased and replaced.

Edit: And yep. I'll send you a PM if a spot opens up. Added to the waitlist.

Edit2: To those worried about Option B being too much bookwork for me- There's nothing to worry about. It's not a lot of work, it's just something I don't want to be doing if you guys would prefer Option A.

[Remuthra]

In that case, do the Bethesda.

[scapheap]

B then(But drop it if you find it more of a hassle then you expected)

[Kadzar]

B sounds good, though, if it feels like it's taking too much of your time, go for A.

Also, I want to let people know that the reason I'm not really posting is that I don't feel like there's much for my character to be doing right now, other than the planning I'm in the process of.

May I request a summary of recent in-game history and tech level? just so we dont make any mistakes or go overboard (dont really want people whipping out plasma rifles too soon  ).

Those can be arranged...

The only truly advanced form of tech is the FTL Warp Drives. For the most part, things are at about the current level, but with more processing power and the like. The reason for this is something you'll likely need to find out in game, but one can conjecture that when Earth was overtaken by taint, the world's top scientists rushed production in that field in an attempt to save some of humanity. That combined with the fact that it's more profitable to make small technological advancements in public-sector technology than it is to make leaps and bounds, and the apocalypse-level event that led to the mass exodus from earth, has kept things from advancing too quickly. There's also very little reason to make plasma weapons when a quarter of the population can be trained to summon fire kami to light your enemies on fire, and when, culturally, everyone's decided to step back and start appreciating melee weapons and personal duels a bit more.
I'll get a timeline of the past 100 or so years up in a bit which might explain this further. Working on writing some papers for class at the moment.

Also, I want to let people know that the reason I'm not really posting is that I don't feel like there's much for my character to be doing right now, other than the planning I'm in the process of.

I'm aware of this, and how much it sucks. I'm trying to rush things ahead so that everyone has something to do, but during preparation sequences like this, sometimes it's just not possible. With any luck, we'll eventually hit a stride where nobody is left without a clear goal for too long.

we're in the 31st century, right?

then Mass Driver weapons would probably be around about now. As would things like fusion power, nanotechnology, holograms and hydroponics and other 'near future' technology. I mean, we are talking about 1000 years into the future, and we already have these things today, to varying degrees, but then again, it is up to you.

I'm looking forward to the timeline though.

An apocalyptic event of the magnitude specified by the GM could easily lead to a new Dark Age, which we may have only recently recovered from. In which case, we're lucky to have as much as we do.

and judging by what the Taint seems to do, it would have meant the end of humanity, which means we probably didnt have a new dark age.

and a new dark age probably would only last at most 500 years, 700 at an extreme stretch.

And those techs i listed arent too far off real world tech, really, so we could have had some before the taint even showed.

[Kadzar]

Would it be okay if we roleplayed out some of the planning phase in brief flashbacks? I mean, there are a lot of things our characters would think of that we wouldn't (until just now I didn't really think about who should take the lead in exploring the ship). I can say that I, personally, would not use this as an opportunity to plan any more than I should have been able to. I just see it as a way to make our characters not seem so incompetent as to have not planned for the most basic of circumstances.
