I had the stupid idea for a possibly short possibly long RTD about 6 or so people trapped on the surface of a smallish metal sphere in space, that has an atmosphere held in place by a forcefield of some kind.
Problem is, the forcefield is failing.

The point of the game would be to discover why the place was built, why you are there, and how to fix the forcefield. Possibly ascending to godhood dying horribly along the way.

Would anyone be interested in something like this?

Voice approval for game, and submit character sheet for highly corrosive blob.

I can play an idiot in space again? Sign me up.

An RTD with a plot that's intended? Sounds dangerous, considering the tendency of players to derail that. I'm in. Totally not to derail that plot.

[johiah]

So I guess if you guys want you can start making sheets.


Name:
Appearance:
Special Skill: (No standard magic, but things like limited mind reading and stuff like that are fine.)

[Coolrune206]

Name: Frank
Appearance: Think of a guy called Frank. Yep. That's what he looks like.
Special Skill: The ability to know every function of an object or system by touching it.

[OceanSoul]

Name: Azzepehpeh
Appearance: Lime green humanoid made out of fluid corrosive slime
Special Skill: Dissolving materials he is in contact with, as sustenance.

[Puppyguard]

Name: Subject 601
Appearance: A greyish blob with many tentacles, each with a mouth and eyes.
Special Skill: Combat. (+1 to combat rolls?)

If possible I would like to spawn inside a containment cell, trapped until the  power goes offline.

Name: Unit 57R-UD31 "Strudel"
Appearance: A humanoid android build for exploration, think K-2SO from rogue one.
Special Skill: Synthetic Durability (Extra sturdy. Basically being a robot, so immune to pain, bleeding out, having to breathe and other such trifles. Can continue functioning even when most of his body is damaged. Since he's an exploration bot, I'd also imagine his chassis is armoured against enviromental dangers to a certain degree, like corrosive substances and fire and whatnot. )

I suppose I should have clarified slightly better.
1. @Strudel You have been locked on the sphere for a long time. Like a really really long time.Think at least 20 generations. So a robot is fine, but I may roll to determine if your actions fail. The reason for this is that over that long period of time knowledge was gradually lost by the people and their descendants who had been locked on the sphere. Food and water and other necessary items were provided or fabricated, why would they need to understand the machines that made those items? Basically as past high quality bodies failed, when your mind was transplanted to a new body, it was usually of a lower quality. So there are errors or glitches, but you will indeed be nigh invincible. Just glitchy. At lesat system 32 wasn't deleted!
2. @Puppyguard, and everyone. The power hasn't failed yet. Something in the system for projecting the field that contains the breathable atmosphere, either the item itself, or its power source, or something in between, is failing. So being locked in a cell until the power fails would not necessarily be the best idea. Starting in a cell is fine though. Maybe temporary confinement?

[Pancaek]

((glitchy robot sounds fine to me. Keeps things interesting. Assuming, indeed, they didn't delete system32 like a bunch of schmucks and I have to roll another character alltogether.))

Thread made here.
Don't post actions yet, as I am waiting for two more people to join.

[Coolrune206]

(I'd like to not be co-leader, if possible. If I'm still in the running anyways, that's okay.)

[johiah]

Ok will keep you out.

[johiah]

I think I will give it a couple more hours and if no one else joins will start it with you guys.
