Outer Atmospheric Saturn Intelligence Station - - -
(EXTREMELY MODIFIED PLOT SYNOPSIS)
Several hundred years into the future, human advancement into the solar system and beyond has become commonplace. Mars has successfully been terraformed, interstellar expeditions to Proxima Centauri and beyond have and are being made, and thousands of satellite stations currently orbit the planetary bodies of our solar system.
These exponential scientific advancements, however, have not been going unnoticed.
Hundreds of lightyears from Earth, the Qyzek civilization has been festering on their home planet, (can't think of a name). Their technological prowess and intergalactic expeditions far outmatch that of the human race. Decades ago, the Qyzeks' approach to advancing into the galaxy became extremely militaristic. They have spread far and wide, enslaving and exploiting the dozens of intelligent species which they have come across. In recent years, the Qyzek set their sights on the human race. Hundreds of invasion scouts were deployed into the solar system for the sole purpose of neutralizing the human race, yet defense mechanisms have held them back thus far to the orbit of Neptune.
- - -
Far from the front line live the approximate 3,000 residents of the OASIS, an orbital station which was designed to research Saturn and its 62 moons. Due to this small population, everyone on the OASIS knows everyone. After the sudden disappearance of high school student, people become frantic. Various search parties have confirmed that she is nowhere on the OASIS, and not a single trace of her disappearance has been found. Due to this sudden event, the OASIS goes into quarantine in order to keep everybody on the station, and a census is about to take place. At this point in time, the friends of the missing student are wanting to search for her on their own, yet the quarantine is thwarting their plans.
After two weeks of inaction and grief, the quarantine is lifted and a funeral is held to mourn the unexpected loss of the student. Preparations for the 90th Annual Floris Festival have begun, and it is seeming as though life is just beginning to move on. During an unexpected turn of events, however, the group of friends are thrust from the station and the search is on. News stories across the solar system are popping up about the impending alien threat, and the group finds evidence that their friend may be involved in this war. Throughout their journey to find their friend, the team is propelled into the rising conflict between the UNE and Qyzek governments, as well as the war that ensues.

Hello everyone! If you've made it this far then you by now know the very loose plot and have read my mediocre attempt at explaining it. Basically, I've been writing a book surrounding this premise for a while now but low and behold I'm not very good at it! Anyway I have wanted to create a rp about this for a while now and, well, here it finally is(sort of)!
I'm wanting this to be a small-group, semi-literate/advanced roleplay centered around the friends(who are all preferably upperclassmen highschoolers). There are so many things that I've already had in mind for this roleplay but I really don't want to share them because it is supposed to be a mystery type deal. I'm just hoping that concealing said information isn't confusing anyone >-<
Anyway, if this has peaked your interest at all(or not) be sure to vote in the poll and please please please help me out here! I'm thinking of...
Character sheets
Roughing out the plot more
Coding for the rp(hopefully)
Other stuff that I can't think of currently

Character Form :
Name - Gender - Age - Appearance - Personality - Strengths - Weaknesses - Other - (Power if applicable)
--
and yes, I would want the main charries to have powers(it's a big part of the mystery/plot in general)

okay I'm still figuring out how big this small group rp is gonna be... also does anyone think that character archetypes would be interesting for this? A bit cliche but also fun at times. I'm just thinking that it might be too constricting.

...it’s up to you? They might be fun, like, having each character having a one word type descriptor. Like “Lost” or “Dreamer” with the in front to be more dramatic? Anyways... Name - Skye Chimere Gender - Female Age - 17 Appearance - Pale, short girl at about 5’0”, with a very skinny body. Her chest is rather flat, and her eyes are a green-blue color. She dressed rather modestly, and the rest can be filled in with the picture. Personality - Skye is the very sarcastic and chaotic one of the group, full of sass and curiousity. Her small size aids her to fight with a strategic way, and she’s a smart cookie too. Her emotions are strong however, and when she’s not fooling around and is serious, she can be a good leader. However, she tends not to listen well, or like to be bossed around. She’s very dark in some of her comments and can willingly insult people without much thought or guilt, but she does it to mostly tease her friends. She’s a very chaotic person, who loves fighting physically with others(not her friends, and not if it gets her in trouble), and is a fast girl too, who can take teasing and turn it back with tons of wit. Strengths - Witty, Agile, Brave, Smart, and a quick thinker. She’s good at fighting, she can find weak spots, and has a type of fast fighting style, combined by her agility, smarts and quick thinking. Her friends hold a dear spot to her, and she can be a good leader as well. Weaknesses - Impatient, somewhat apathetic, takes listening and doesn’t follow orders most of the time. She’s often brash, and her physical weaknesses can cause issues with her. Her confidence is another issue all together, while she can fight physically and with words with others rather well, she often can be weakened by her powers, which can drain her of energy due to their nature. Other - Psionic Magic. Things like Telekenesis, Energy manipulation, that such come easily, and often don’t have much feedback if she keeps it minimal. But things that require more effort, like Astral Projection, or Telepathy drain her, causing episodes of amnesia, or issues with maintaining her focus and stability. Sometimes telepathy will have a drawback if the link is strong enough, that she will experience amnesia for a short while after, and Astral projection is a timed thing, meaning extended amounts cause damage to her body, and her body usually shuts down during this time, making her seem completely dead when she is in her Astral form, or soul form, which can be helpful and dangerous. Other things exist in her powers, but most likely won’t appear much, if at all. Her weapon of choice is a set of Kama in melee, and a long rantai weapon for more long distance type fighting, she often wears the weighted string on her clothing as a belt, necklace, or bracelet for the purpose of having it near her.

okay she seems really cool right off the bat(judging by power xD), but I am a tad confused by it. Would it be like energy manipulation/telekinesis/telepathy?
as for archetypes/descriptors, I'm probably just going to not do that in the beginning but as the roleplay goes on we could give them cool names or roles that seem fitting.

Also, I'm thinking to make the limit four people(aside from myself), so there are currently three spots left(that's not including sempy who I think expressed interest though).

okay so now I'm just thinking Wanda Maximoff and that's just badass. I trust you to not make her overpowered, of course, but eventually we might need them to be pretty kick-ass(they're fighting of an alien race for pete's sake).

Name - Cressida Lewis Gender - female Age - 16 Appearance - Cressida has a fairly tall, lanky body, standing at 5'9", with a relatively straight figure. Her hair is naturally dark, but she dyes it white blonde, and has a sprinkle of freckles across her nose and cheekbones. Her skin is pale, but is marred by the silvery scars of places she has healed people. She wears mostly muted neutrals and pastels, and often wears delicate silver jewelry. Cressida's eyes appear brown, from far away, but they are actually a deep greyish green, which can only truly be seen up close. She has approximately four to five piercings per ear, as well as her belly button pierced. The girl doesn't wear a ton of makeup, as she mainly uses it to just enhancing her eyebrows and eyelashes. Personality - Cressida is a quiet girl, who has a kind heart and wants the best for anyone, whether they are her friends, family, strangers or even enemies. She hates seeing or feeling people's pain, both physical and mental, so she always insists upon taking their miseries upon herself. As a result, she has built up quite a high pain tolerance, but even if something is hurtful to her, she does her best not to show it. Strengths - She cares strongly for people, and will give up her own health / happiness in order to save them from their own pain, can emphasize with anyone, can heal Weaknesses - Can't resist helping others, even if it means her own downfall, is often injured due to saving someone else, struggles to see the bad in anyone Other - can heal others but in order to do so, must transfer their wounds/injuries/pain to her own body, can feel emotions/change them when she touches another person

Just imagine if Leo was like.
“Yeah, I’ll join.”
Psionic Manipulation includes other stuff? But not really? Mostly it’s like, a combination of “magic” and “physical” and it’s like one of my favorite powers? But I’m going to keep it limited and throw in some negative feedback too.
Guys I passed all my classes with As and Bs I’m so happy. I take IB courses, so technically they are all As.

And yay!! That’s awesome!! Congrats chica!
And now, I am going to try and go to sleep for real XD)

Post by Sparky on May 29, 2019 14:29:23 GMT -5
Yes I already love her
And it just sounds wicked awesome to me(scarlet witch is the coolest avenger ever, though she might be a bad comparison xD).
Also, that's great! I got all A's and one B(I freaking hate calculus), but it's an AP course(which I think is like IB?). Either way, it's weighted :-)

Post by 𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕕𝕠𝕨 on May 29, 2019 14:35:49 GMT -5
Yeah, it’s weighted :3.
Yeah, the character is probably going to have a...a personality XD.
I am working out on the character right now, trying to find a good name and look. I kind of want to use one of my pre-existing characters but I feel like no effort would be going into it.
So yeah, it may take a while.

Post by Sparky on May 29, 2019 14:46:20 GMT -5
[ that's totally fine. I'm gonna probably pull out a mixture of old characters cause I do that a lot. It definitely will take a while as well.
Oh and also, I'm wanting our characters to be a tight-knit group of friends that go way back, although I'm totally open to maybe one being a newcomer. ]]

Post by Sparky on May 29, 2019 15:00:15 GMT -5
[ sounds good!(yeah both of mine as well)
Okay there's also another thing about this rp that I'm considering doing. The first three 'character' days are pretty structered(idk if that's a good thing or bad thing though). Basically... Friday = day before funeral, we get to interact with each other's charries and have them talk about stuff Saturday = day of the funeral, ooh so sad oh no Sunday = the Floris Festival and the events that follow
Something pretty big is going to happen at the festival, so I kinda wanna tell just one person??? Idk. It would just be to steer the plot into the right direction and have the characters in the places that they need to be.
Also, there are various mysteries which the characters are going to have to figure out along the way. And I might tell different people what each one is as they come along(again, to steer the plot in the right direction).
This being said, I really dont have much planned after the festival, so we might have to do some idea construction and planning once we get to that bridge.

If you need to, pm certain people and be like “don’t tell the others, but this is one clue/something involving your character.”
That’s pretty unique and fun actually.
|
|
|
Post by Sparky on May 29, 2019 15:05:56 GMT -5
Yeah, that's basically what's gonna happen xD There are just some pretty major events that might. Upset people..? If that makes sense.
(just be ready for anything)

Kills off characters.
It’s fine.
XD.
Why are names hard my goodness. I’m stuck between a few, and I’m still looking at some.
I got Lorelei “Lore”, Skye, and then Rae. I kind of want something that at least a nickname would be strict and to the point, but I also want to leave nicknames open for the other characters to decide?

Uhh why are names hard. I was going to do Leon, but I’ve already made a character with that name XD.
Reeeeeeeeeeeee.
