SPIDERS SUCK *Fellow IRL Arachnaphobe*

Will post in more detail later on the questions, heading to bed now. Just wanted to say one thing : I tend to prefer the 'rule of cool' over Hard SF, so even if it's not 'physically probable', if you think it'd be fun then go ahead with the planet/moon. Also in general, keep in mind the...

So just went and re-read the starting briefing.. Exxon is the ones who run the ship that's BEING attacked.. So that's who I work for.. Onlythestrong, I had thought you were ON the Nebula(Target) and spying for the Bounty(Attacker), or are you on the assault ship attacking the Exxon ship whom...

That would probably be the kind of secret you keep from me. Perhaps you tried to keep me off the ship so I wouldn't get caught up in it but as usual I wouldn't listen. Now maybe you're trying to figure out how to keep me safe without revealing said secret?

Shayuri, I noticed you have 50 disadvantages AND 5 quirks.. I was under the impression that the '50 disadvantage' limit also applied to the quirks, appearance, wealth, status, etc.. all the ways of gaining 'bonus points'. Is this not true? Darwin/onlythestrong : I had a thought regarding my...

regular joker?

I think 6 legs is pushing it but the rest of that is fine. As far as 'humanoid', I'd call it a basically upright posture, bipedal (POSSIBLY quadrupedal if the upper body is very humanoid), 2-4 arms, opposable fingers (Or other means of fine tool manipulation), single torso/head, mouth for...

Character creation rules added to first post. Any questions just ask.

But drothgery, you're forgetting about the wonderfully useful and only-appearing-in-somebody-elses-turf materials known as Unobtanium and Phlebotinum. ;) Seriously though, that won't be a thing with me. I will be leaving the actual science and requirements of the FTL etc, and what type/how...

onlythestrong: Well if you're a tech-head like my guy, you could try a computer implant. Without buying wealth you won't be able to afford one as good as mine, but on normal salary you could get the following: Wireless Neural Interface (Major Procedure: 10k + 6K computer) $16,000 Computer...

so lets see what we got so far: Jemal - Pleasure-addicted, Arachnaphobic, Overconfident, Jealous Engineer/survivalist ladies man with advanced cybertech in his head. *Nebula harvest* Onlythestrong - Lazy Arachnophobic Psychologist with hawking-level inteligence and phenomenal medical skills...

Most importantly IMO: a similar mental structure makes for more easily relatable and narratable story.

I never said they were incomprehensible. I mentioned that they never responded to attempts at communication, took no known prisoners, and never surrendered. They were Enigmatic, unknown because they had seemingly no interest in anything other than the destruction of all sentient life in the...

Swords Are Cool.

Don't have time to respond to most of the debate points, just curious why BF said "no offense jemal". I don't recall saying anything about other types of life being 'incomprehensible'. Anyways, unless we get an influx of people insisting otherwise, I'll be going with M&M. Will post some...

I was hoping not to get too deep into the humanoid thing, because it IS a plot point later in the story. Suffice to say that there are answers, your characters just won't have them yet, and if the game lasts long enough, things shall be revealed. I'd be open to a character such as Shayuri...

I'd be ok with flight and extra limbs, but you'd still have to be humanoid if you're from this galaxy. And if you're not, we'd have to have some private discussions about that. Anyways, I'm pretty late for bed now, will talk about it more later.

"As I've said a few times, he didn't hide it, or even know where it was. OK, from the top.. He was a mortal from your world.. Not really mortal anymore though.. Anyways, He got sick of all the meddling of the Gods, didn't like them using your people as Pawns in their games, and decided someone...

Sorry, missed it the first time around. No pretending, I stated it outright in post # 11: Standard Sci-fi alien types without any real 'super powers'. NO playable alien race is smarter or more advanced than humans in this setting. They can have their own unique quirks - stronger, limited...

Lin's whip wraps around the Hezrou's arm, distracting it long enough for Alzoll's pincers to close the gap and crush the lesser demons neck, forcing it to dissolve into a bloody mess. Scott fires another laser beam at the Pyro, but his shot is far wide. The Pyro glares angrily and unleashes a...
