A Space Adventure - A Suggestion Game
« on: April 07, 2013, 09:15:48 pm »

The Bright Void, another name for the dark depths of space that represents the hope people see in it, to them it represents a chance to freedom from tyranny, freedom from oppression, and so much more. You are one of those who has earned that freedom, reaching out beyond your home planet aboard the ship you and the others spent nearly their entire lives working to obtain. This ship is your freedom, with it you can leave behind the crushing poverty that is so wide spread, and you can change the future if you work hard enough, but of course there will be obstacles in your way. Other factions will seek to use, some will seek to destroy, and some will simply ignore you but there is one thing that is assured, your continued freedom will be bought with blood, sweat, and tears as you seek to become something in this Bright Void of hope ....

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

You were planning to have a 15 year old magical girl kill Witches by drinking them under the table!? It's original, at least.

I wish I could unwatch a thread because every time I look at this I can feel myself dying faster
Dying of laughter?
Dying of pure unbridled hatred, actually.

Male.

That's all I have to add. Most of us are guys, and won't it be a little transgendered and awkward, if he ever writes a romantic bit?

War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.

(NOOOOO TvTropes D: Also to shorten urls click the site you wanna go to and copy its address instead of the google search address :) ))

I understand that, but I have trouble writing ambiguous gender characters plus it'll directly affect the way people talk to and interact with you so a definite gender is important :P I'll wait a bit longer for more votes before we start, but now for tallying of votes,

Name
Kim Smith - 4
Rand McNally - 2

Gender
Male - 3
Female - 2
Undecided - 2

Profession
Scavenger - 5
Smuggler - 1
