Behemoth (OOC)

What would you do if you found yourself stranded in the middle of intergalactic space on a ship traveling to an unknown destination and you and a handful of others have no clue how you got there, who is piloting the ship, and where you are inside the massively sized vessel?

Story:
After a century’s efforts of global re-cultivation and attempts to stabilize the growing shortages wrought from over-population and waste; the end of the planet seemed only two or three centuries away at best, and mankind would begin to suffer the lasting effects of hunger, drought, and famine on a global scale.

It is during this time, that scientists began making plans to launch harvesters into space to begin a last-ditch attempt at forging some sort of resource for humanity; and so people were gathered from all corners of the globe to volunteer to travel with the harvesters and maintain them on far off worlds, and moons.

Now, just a few years into the project, a handful of people slowly emerge from hyper-sleep one by one in the belly of a strange beast; an enormous vessel they have nick-named the Behemoth, light-years from Earth, and going in an unknown direction, trapped inside a ship with a crew they cannot find, and cannot see.

Once all the sleepers awaken, they will have to work together or independently to find the controls of the ship and their captors.

Rules:
This is an ADVANCED ROLE-PLAY, and as such it is going to require much more difficult levels of posting and participation. you are NOT required to post your character name at the beginning of each post, but you are required to write a huge amount of progression and development per post.

Each post must be no fewer than 200 words.

There will be absolutely NO out of character dialogue allowed at any point. And the use of asterisks are banned.

The posts will read like a story, you will post as if writing a narrative in the 3rd person, and will keep your thoughts and direction consistent with the posts before.

Only 10 players will be allowed, though we can make do with as few as two or three.

Absolutely NO GOD-MODDING, and no deaths; unless it's your own character, and even then you will have to determine how best to do that based on the way the RP has played out.

Characters:
There are 10 character possibilities as I've said before. And they are split down the middle as far as Gender is concerned. So that means there are:

5 males
5 females

Each player that wishes to participate must submit a "Character Sheet" and post a detailed over-view of their character here in the OOC before they will be allowed to play. A Roster of active players and their characters will be posted here at all times.

If you have any questions, or are in need of any details about the universe of the RP, or some help with character back-grounds then please feel free to post them here, or PM me.

The Behemoth RP(IN) thread will be created as soon as an additional player arrives.

Re: Behemoth (OOC)

Demetri Kylkorin

GENDER: Male

AGE: 32

HEIGHT: 5' 10"

WEIGHT: 226 lbs

ETHNICITY: Caucasian

Demetri was born in Florida (2113) and was raised in and around the industrial empire his father Leonard Kylkorin created. When he was 19, Demetri was accepted into Lorne University and majored in mechanical engineering with an emphasis on applicable mechanics & design theory.

When the United Global Restoration Project announced in 2132 that they were in need of any and all persons with exceptional skills of an industrial and mechanical nature, Demetri applied, and was later selected as a harvester operator and deployed the following year to a region of space beyond Vega.

Demetri has no siblings, and was never married. His family's business, kept him a workaholic while on Earth, and figuring he would never get the opportunity to experience something as great as space travel again, Demetri was more than willing to cast off anchor and go into deep sleep aboard the freighter ship "Vast Yoel" and begin a new life, on a new world, and help to save his own.

OOC note- Demetri is very afraid of tight places and suffers from mild to severe claustrophobia

Re: Behemoth (OOC)

Okay can do. Let me see what I can put together. This is coming off as a pretty serious game so goofy anime themes don't seem like they would fly.

Re: Behemoth (OOC)

I'm interested in joining, so I'll try making a character sheet.

I do have a question though. Will the posts build upon one another? Or am I just writing a narrative for my own character?
I assume that each user's posts will focus on their character, until there is a character interaction. During that time, the two would have to cooperate somehow.

Re: Behemoth (OOC)

You know come to think of it wasn't this the plot of Orphans of the Sky by Robert Heinlen???

Re: Behemoth (OOC)

You write your character until you interact with another, or force one of the other players to respond to something you did, said, etc,.

You can control some NPC characters, should the opportunity arise, for example something I will elaborate on later, is that "Behemoth" is a fully automated vessel, that is old, and abandoned looking, and it has interfaces whereby an NPC computer can interact with the players, though that is something that will not be revealed until later, and it is something that has minimal responses. Once you as a player have written to the point where you are waiting for someone else to respond to you, then you will have to do just that... wait. Though there is nothing to keep you from further developing your own character through thoughts, or something, as long as what you write progresses the story in some fashion.

There is also nothing to stop you from continuing the RP on your own, and taking your character off in different paths, though bear in mind that this RP has a predefined ending, so that while your character may be off exploring a part of the ship, and the RP Manager, I'll be guiding the story to its inevitable conclusion, though the involvement of the other players adds a sense of unexpected surprises and development.

_________________________________

@ Audri:

I wouldn't know anything about "Orphans in the Sky" as I am not a H-SF(hard science fiction) reader. This is actually a combination of three short-stories that I have abandoned over time, and thought would make for an interesting Role Play. Though if it is too similar to something already done before, then I can come up with something else.

Re: Behemoth (OOC)

I am inerested in joining this roleplay, though it might take a little while for me to come up with a character considering none of my original characters would work too well in this scenario. tongue

Also, a predeturmined ending? So this is a rigid roleplay? hmm

Re: Behemoth (OOC)

I apologize for the double post, but it will not allow me to edit my post and sends me to a blank page. hmm

Onto why I posted; upon looking over the rules a second time I realized that this might not be the kind of roleplay I would enjoy as much as I would chore over. I apologize for prematurly signing myself up for something I was going to quit a short while later. blushing
