Spoiler: A note from Kevak: (click to show/hide)

This is a reboot of a reboot of a reboot of the original R2SP. Main reason for Reboot MKII is cause the reboot became a clusterfuck, I never updated the OP, and updates were sporadic. So anywho~ It's happening. Again. Universe is better fleshed out this time and there is more of a plot then faffing around on a ship and eventually going to stop at a planet. This is R2SP .. MKIV now?

Anyways. I'm pretty sure I'm sufficiently over my depression to run a game again. Eeeere we go again~!

IC Thread.

Now onto charactersheets:

This is not minimalistic. This is going to be at least semi serious. (It's also going to be totally chaotic. You are a large number of possibly insane pirates.) There will be shenanigans and if you people haven't blown up at least two planets by the time this is over, I will be sorely disappointed.

This will use a D13 system. 7 is the best possible success with no overshoot or undershoot. 1 is a critfail. 13 is a critovershoot. Critovershoots can and will be just as bad as critfails, just in the inverse way.

Name:
Race:
Gender: (If applicable)

Skills: (Basically shit your character knows how to do. +/- is used for modifying rolls. Mundane means you autosucceed. If it is something that someone could feasibly make a check against you, it cannot be mundane. Normally a highly skilled professional in a field will have at most one or two mundane skills and a bunch of high modifiers for other skills. The average joe will have 1-3 in terms of modifiers, with the average being 2 but leaning towards 1. Refer to Juno as an example.)

Weapons/Equipment: (Basically items you have that provide modifiers for combat/defense. Refer to Juno's sheet for examples.)

Augments/bioaugments: (Certain races such as KX9 are augment heavy, most baseline humans or baseline Xenos will also have at least one civvie tier augment. Refer to Juno for examples. Juno has mostly military grade augments. As well as a few unique to KX9 augments. Ask if you have questions.)

Anything that's a more or less permanent status thing goes here: (such as Juno being a trap)

Misc items: (Just random shit you have, usually for fluff or plot reasons. Juno's Other Items is an example.)

Status: (Just have it here, I will fill this in for you. You will be required to post it in every major action post you make. Each major update may or may not have your status altered. Use the newer status if such a thing happens. As for items, keep track of them in your charactersheet. I'll actually link the sheets in the OP this time. Probably~)

Status
Healthy.

Full, 15/15 fullness.
Sated, 10/10 hydration.

Joke bonuses are completely fine, such as his +10 Fluffyness trait, they won't do much, so why not have them?

It is absolutely fine for a character to have difficulty failing in one area or another, there are plenty of status effects they will no doubt be exposed to over their pirating career that will cause problems. Although hopefully you guys actually get to the pirating part this time~ (I have said this three times now.)

If you want an SCP grade ability or trait, there will be a tradeoff, if you want a few examples, look at the old reboot thread. Also you will need to discuss it with me, preferably via PM or IM so plot stuff can be set up. There are a number of examples. The Pirate with the Parrot is an example. As is Sasha. And Zal's Character. Characters can be rather weird without being SCP style weirdness. Just as long as you aren't so OP you outclass erryone else. It's expected most characters are OP enough that the average joe would get decked enmasse. Last few games had a great mix from above average to early stage OP to literally average joe. All of those are good. So long as we have a mix of it. If everyone was OP it would be boring. If everyone was average it would be boring. Give the last few threads a look. Also, many of the characters in the Original Post of the last were not active. Might need to sift around. Use the search function.

Spoiler: Loresheet: (click to show/hide)

Name: (This is straightforward, you should not need this to be explained.)

Physical age: (Mental age is not posted, pm mental age if it is older or younger then the character's body. Technically Juno would be qualified as several hundred years old mentally, KX9 live a rather long time. However 49's have memory quirks.)

Race: (Anything is allowed provided it isn't a reference to some well known fictional sci-fi race Fuck it, if you can give a good reason for it go on ahead. If you want help with deciding on a race, there are several in-setting races as well that I have set up should you not wanna make a race up. KX9 as an example are both fun to rp as and tricky. I will provide help if you wanna do them.

Description: (A combination of personality and description, if you want to include backstory, then you can put some in also. If you want anything worked into the story in relation to backstory without others knowing about it, pm me and I will see if it works with the story and possibly do so. Odds are is most anomalous characters will need a pm or two.)

There is no character cap. For now. Previous characters are autoaccept should you want to do them again. I may tweak them slightly though to fit with the newer format.

Use my signature to locate the three or four older versions of this.

Spoiler: Lore Sheet (click to show/hide)

Name: Gunn Smith von Bob
He was Gunn Alexander, but when awarded the title of Smith, the bureau of names had a bit of fun, and replaced his second name with his title.
It didn't take long until it stuck.

Physical age: 14

Race: Bob Generation 3 Mutant (Dragon)
Bob is a planet which has a lot of mutants, due to the environment being unsuited for human life, whoever lived there had to change. Combined with the use of excessive amounts of experimental drugs, and the population has reached mutations previously unheard of.
They're split into 4 generations based on when they emerge (pre-war, first war/second war, pre-third war, or later), the 4th being so recent that there's still emerging new entries.

The Dragons is a result of crossbreeding of the generation 2 mutants of Demonics and Lizardmen.
The Demonics were horned red skinned mutants capable of breathing toxic air and unleashing flame breath. But they went extinct.
The Lizardmen are a bit like a mix of crocodile and human. How they took on crocodile traits on a planet without crocodiles, is still a mystery.
Anyway, the Dragons take on the scales and tail of the Lizardmen, and the fire breath of Demonics.
They still retain a very humanoid look, so while covered head to toe in scales, they look human-ish, though their hands and feet are quite lizard-y.

Description: Gunn comes from Bob, being the son of Laser Crocodile hunters. He was taught how to make, maintain, and repair a gun, as is the custom of Dragons.
He eventually got pretty good at it, and at the age of 9 managed to create a really good laser rifle. But then a local lord stole it.
However, the local populace did pressure the lord into admitting Gunn had made the rifle, which was good enough to make him earn the title of "Smith".
But, the lord still kept the rifle, and Gunn didn't like the idea of having his future weapons stolen, so he left the planet.
It was a really good rifle too, and he forgot how to make it. So he's spent the next few years trying to recreate this rifle.
So far he's made it have quite an impressive charge shot function, but still nowhere near the original rifle. And in order to get the materials, he had to take some dodgy jobs.

Gunn is quite young, and looks the part, except also a scaly mutant capable of breathing fire.
Gunn has black scales, but they're grey on his belly, chest, upper arm, thighs, face, groin, and the underside of his tail.
He has red eyes, which light with fiery passion whenever he's about to bring his rifle one step closer to his best rifle.
His hands and feet are quite lizard-y, so he can't use normal gloves or shoes. Which is why he walks barefoot, and his rifle has a bigger grip and no trigger guard.
He also has black hair, which has grown quite long, and at times cover his eyes.
He wears a thick pair pants, a shirt, and a jacket.

I think I'll have a concept up sometime. Good to hear you're back!

EDIT:

Spoiler: Victor J.P Glasgow (click to show/hide)

Name: Victor J.P Glasgow
Object Class: Euclid
Race: Human (former)
Age: 40's
Gender: Male
Description:
In the early days of pre-FTL travel, there exist lesser-known reports of an identical criminal popping up on different planets, locations too far apart to be explained by existing travel mechanisms at the time.
In recent years, the states of Westphalia-Altair convened to form a joint investigation committee and investigate these occurences from an objective standpoint. Their studies brought them to a derelict lab deep in the Kuiper Belt where some of the first experiments with FTL technology were performed. Most documentation, however, has not survived, most of it discarded or intentionally suppressed by the powers that be.

The first experiments had to do with quantum physics and the possibility of a cosmic censorship mechanism. More specifically, scientists sought to investigate what would happen if an observer travelled to the past, whether or not it would annihilate the involved parties, split the timeline, or otherwise allow a paradox to exist in some way. This was long before the invention of the causal stabilizers that prohibit time paradoxes in modern FTL travel.

What they discovered were the preliminary results: gelatinized corpses, time loops, rips in spacetime bridging test chambers together, and contradictory data logs. They managed to retrofit an old experiment in order to collect new data to replace destroyed records, and the rest was history.


Augments:
Entangled Awareness: +/- 3 Perception. (Victor is aware of himself in multiple timelines)
Temporal Bridge: Victor can perform actions in similar alternate timelines. He always remembers what happens, even if he dies in one of the timelines. (If he dies in this one though, he dies. For good.)
Interference: Alternate timelines can interact with this one to an extent, depending on how similar the alternate-Victor is to this one. If both Victors, for example, are working to infiltrate the same ship and reach the same bridge, it is possible that both of them will actually be on the same ship, killing crew members independently. When they meet...
Feedback: ...if any two instances of Victor ever come into real-time contact with each other, either by wireless communication or by seeing each other in person, one of them will immediately die by some means, natural or unnatural (e.g. have a heart attack).

Skills:
Space Engineering (mundane)
Supporting Fire (+2/-1) (Applies to weapons like LMG's and such, which can suppress)
Reflexes (+3 always, he tends to overreact)

Equipment:
M2HB (To date nobody has ever made a better 50 cal)
--2x spare ammo belt (100 rounds)
Recoil Reduction Exoskeleton (Originally used by exploration teams to haul equipment. Provides no armor protection.)
--Spare 24v battery
3x Throwing Knives (He seems to find more scattered on the floor/in bodies every so often)

Misc Items:
An ever-growing pile of sandwiches (he sometimes finds them left behind by his alternate self)


Status
Healthy.
Asleep.
Full, 15/15 fullness.
Sober, 5/10 hydration.

How many of the old folks are actually still here? Oh well, here we go.

I think at least this time I can finally avoid being a passive aggressive shit now.

I think I'll take the MICCA arm from my last char, I liked that.

I'll do something later.

Acid would probably have a hard time melting through exterior hull plating, since that is meant to protect from micrometeor impacts at multiple kilometers an hour, but internal walls would be perfectly possible to melt. Also that ability would be limited by materials for synthing of the acid. Otherwise it works~

Question: What year is this?

3147. Third Millennium. Many other races have been encountered. Humanity itself has fragmented into hundreds of thousands of deviant races. Some more successful then others. Much of the galaxy has been colonized by something or other and parts of the Milky Way's Satellite Galaxies have been colonized.

Description:A bulky bipedal robot that stands at about 8 feet, it's painted grey with an oval-shaped head, it has large rectangular shoulder plates and looks like the sort of thing that'd do heavy lifting in military operations, the right forearm on it is rather out of place, apparently sized for a human while colored cyan rather then grey, despite the smaller size it looks like a decent amount of effort went into attaching it properly, although scratches indicate that the former arm was removed without such care.

While the robot itself seems rather basic, it has on occasion displayed uncharacteristic traits or determination in general.

Laser based weaponry (+/-1 Does not need to use full amount.)
Ship navigation (+/-1 Does not need to use full amount.)

Weapons/Equipment:
Large arm-fitted scattergun.
A shotgun designed to wrap around one's forearm and elbow when held, it doesn't look like it's sized for humans and recoil might be a problem for one who is big enough to hold it. (Unless you're a big robot.)
-12 "shot" shells loaded in gun.
--Close range bonus to accuracy, full damage concentrated in a single area. (+/-2 to accuracy and damage rolls, does not need to use full amount.)

Augments/bioaugments:
Large left arm compartment:
Hollowed space designed to contain a single large gun, however it can be utilized to hold any reasonable number of items, although it certainly cannot carry what would be designated as "Heavy Weapons" or anything of similar size, it has small folding arms inside designed to push and hold things outside of the compartment for easy grabbing.

Multipurpose infiltration and close combat arm (MICCA):
Energy shield designed to absorb energy based attacks, it has limited success with kinetic attacks.

((Maybe? I think Kevak might've told me at one point that the hacking was OP and then nerfed it but never actually edited the post, and I don't have any of the PMs anymore so I can't check.))

Permanent status effects:
Is Robot:Immunity to non-corrosive gases, poisons, no exertion, the works.
Oversized:Any non-custom fitted armor or weapons (fat fingers and hand is simply not wrapping around a trigger or hilt.) cannot be worn or used properly unless it is by the MICCA arm, however as a perk it can use bigger things then most without issues, as well as a permanent 2+ (fully applied) to damage for all melee rolls.
Thick armor: (+/-2 when receiving damage, does not need to use full amount.).

Misc items: ID tag on chain:It reads, "Captain Stanton Morley of the Inferno".
