[Evil Lincoln]

I think I'm getting close to being able to start this. I think I've done the hardest part, which is of course drawing the playable alien species.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Names(space font is a bit weird): Grak, Human, Ran, Tkunanai, Enans, Ragenenk

This is just the working picture I've been doing them all in, that is why there are more then one of some of the aliens (figuring how to make them face the other direction and such).

I think I'm going to make some backstory then do the opening post once I figure how how detailed I want the stats of each character (I'm considering having stats and dice rolls and things). Once I have all the players I'll get them the option to decide how, where and why they are going on a space quest. If they don't have any ideas I'll come up with some reason why they are all meeting up in a space-tavern that won't ruin any RP.

It's always sort of bugged me that because of multiple timezone shenanigans people can miss their opportunity to get in. I had a thought and I'm going to open two of the player slots now and the other three once the thread is made.

You heard right,I'm opening two of the player slots.First come first served. I don't need any character details or anything you can just claim a spot.

On that note I'm hoping for a reasonable rate of character fatalities so that there will be good turn around with the wait-listers. If you get attacked by space pirates and only one crew member survives don't be surprised.

Cool art.

I'd like to claim a spot.

[Tomcost]

Me!
Yes, I'm claiming a spot

[10ebbor10]

Just watching for now.

[griffinpup]

Well I want a spot.

[10ebbor10]

Also, no robot races, no mysterious translucent beings...

We're not planning to be original, are we?

[Tomcost]

Maybe they are not going to be playable races, or, you know, having to make them females would give the awkward thinking of "how do I make a female version of an energy being/gas cloud/parasitic hivemind?"

[Evil Lincoln]

Also, no robot races, no mysterious translucent beings...

the 6th character is going to be an AI no matter what. In theory an all robot crew is fine but it would sort of detract from the 6th character. It's meant to stand out from the rest because it's a robot and its community driven nature reflects that. There will be robots hanging around but just for that reason I didn't put them on the chooseable character roster.

Now that I think about it though there will be a weird question if the community character dies. Do you get to pick a new character from any race or do I limit them to another AI.

I'll have to think about the AI/robot-race situation some more.

Translucency didn't cross my mind. Having transparent layers ends up looking weird if I try anything to complex but translucent skin might be okay, it does mean I have to draw organs though so that might not end well. It's also really annoying to have them turn around, doubly so if they have anything resembling a skeletal structure.

We're not planning to be original, are we?

It's hard to make a totally new body type that looks right to me. I can draw something unconventional and stick some weird method of locomotion on it but at this level of detail you have no idea what is going on. Where is it's face? Are those antenna or arms?

Most of the 'Original' stuff I think is just going to show up later with the racial dynamics and whatnot.

"how do I make a female version of an energy being/gas cloud/parasitic hivemind?"

I make them gender-less and have us suffer hell on earth... inconsistent pronouns.

Well I want a spot.

You've still got a chance later! If you miss that you'll just have to wait until someone explodes in gore.

I take back what I said. I will make the time to play if I can be the AI.

[evilcherry]

Equip a race with 4 arms and be pentaped. Just saying.

[10ebbor10]

Was a compliment, actually...

[RAM]

So no facemask and shoe wearing amorphous blobs...

[Evil Lincoln]

I wasn't sure what it was, it didn't quite make sense. So I just addressed it.

I thought it was pretty clear that the 6th character is a community suggestion driven one. Something to keep the waitlisters busy.

I'm opening two more player slots. 

Just to confirm Tomcost and GreatWyrmGold got the last two.

The last slot will be opened in 5 hours or so.

Thought Lincoln the community will control the AI? (edited^^)


Oh well. I'm in. Not only watching. Now that I have the chance^^

[kaian-a-coel]

I hereby claim one character slot.
