This is where the Sins of Titan RP Out of Character Discussion and Banter will take place. I will update with resources and rules in THIS thread. The below page and a half are 'history'.

Rules : Click Here


Premise : Click Here


===========
Premise :

You will be playing the role of citizens, soldiers, ship pilots, crew, scientists, etc. in a futuristic space-fielded RP. Due to the discovery of a new substance that brinks on the edge of a bioorganism, 'Particle 212', the human race has been able to speed up it's technological advancement by centuries. Everything from faster than light communication to advanced human augmentation has been challenged and overcome. The theories and possibilities are endless. All members of this Rp will be located or be en route to the space station orbiting Titan which is responsible for the protection of the moon.

The story will follow the fate of the bioorganism, Particle 212, and it's interaction with everything around it from the human forces vying for control of the moon that it was discovered on to any direction that it may take. Who knows what lies around the corner after being used and depleted over the past century? Who knows if our story will remain in our solar system of Sol, or even our galaxy? The possibilities are endless and are all left up to your imagination. There -will- be adventure. There -will- be danger. There -will- be suspense.

Sign up and let's make a fun and exciting world!

===========
Keiya's Rules of RP -

Read and Survive!

1 : Detail - An RP is all about being detailed and imaginative. I like to see people getting really involved, shrouding there character in depth and detail. Sure, we don't all have the time to sit down and write a 3 page essay on how our character is reacting to a drop of water, but at least put some thought and detail into what you're doing with your post. One liners are not allowed. Two liners will be frowned upon.

2 : Immersion - You are in an ever-expanding world of endless possibilities, especially with my RPs. I like to give plenty of creative room and thus the world we are playing in is driven by your imagination. So help us become involved with what you do. Don't think you are restricted - Feel unbound!

3 : Respect - In all cases, the final word of anything in RP is mine. I am the omnipotent being ruling over you. This does not mean my character is - just to clarify that. I will have no disrespectful arguing in my RPs. If you have a problem with another member that is not in-character based then take it to PM's. I will boot you if things get out of hand.

4 : Fighting - There will be warfare and fighting. I do NOT utilize coin-flips or dice rolls for this. Why? It's just not how I do things. We should be modest and understanding when we are in the middle of a battle. You will decide when you take your own hits. You cannot, however, decide when or if you hit another character. If the attack lands is entirely up to them. So for instance if you swing at what we'll call an NPC - go ahead, let his head snap backwards. If you swing at a character controlled by another member, it is up to them to decide if they dodge or not, and just how bad the punch hurt. There is modesty in this - So be modest. Below I will post a good and a bad example of how to carry out battle.

The Good -

"Seig dashes up against a nearby barricade, rifle gripped tightly in his right hand. As he slams his shoulder into the plasti-crete, he feels the whipple of air above his head and bullets sore above. Just as he's about to toss his rifle up and let loose a barrage of blind-fire, three enemies rush from around the corner adjacent to him. With a grunt of effort he whips his rifle towards them and squeezes the trigger. The bullets trace across the wall due to his early fire but quickly line out and strike one of the mercenaries in the shoulder. The other two, wielding only combat batons, rush him. Full of pride, Seig tosses his gun and darts across the corridor towards them, bullets pegging the wall and floor near but never connecting. As he approaches he leans forward and barely dodges the arch of an electrified baton, bringing his right fist up and into the gut of his enemy. The second of the two shoves his partner over and strikes down towards Seigs' head - a bad mistake as he is unable to catch his balance. Missing and leaning forward, his stance is left open for Seigs' knee to collide with the mass of his groin. With the enemy flailing backwards, Seig feels a white-hot lance of pain shoot up his leg, followed by a loud crack. The enemy he had shot in the shoulder was now recovered and wielding his gun which he had so pridefully cast aside. Now with his own bullet-wound in his thigh, Seig had to make the choice to rush, or flee- Things were about to get interesting."




The Bad-

"Seig runs into the hallway, bullets flying all around him. He unloads an endless barrage of bullets, killing everything in the hallway. As three attackers round the corner behind him, he tosses a grenade over his shoulder, puts a set of shades on, and listens as their bodies are incinerated by the grenades' compact micro-nuclear explosive."


5 : Characters - You can play as many characters as you want, any sex you want. Just make sure you can keep up with them.

6 : Love/Affection - I doubt any of you will do this, but just to make it clear. PG13 is cool. The minute a *CENSORED* is pulled out is the minute I slap it with a Thunder Hammer.

7 : Ranking - You will not make your character a high/lower rank than what you are appointed. That is up to me.

8 : Character Submission - In order to join an RP, you must first submit your character to me. A Character Skeleton can be found at the bottom of this post. These must be PM'd to me.

9 : The OOC Thread - There is NO OOC (Out of Character) Banter in the RP thread. That is reserved for THIS thread and THIS thread alone. Deal with it.

10 : Have fun.

Accepted Characters -

Name : Seig Akai
Nick Name : Faintest
Age : 234
Sex : Male
Career : Squad leader of Team 3, Code name R.E.A.P.E.R - Rapid Escalation And Purge Exoatmospheric Rangers. Military Rank - Lieutenant Commander
Appearance : Click here for Image

Seig stands at 6'1. He is lean, fit, and agile in shape. Though his body is augmented in various ways, the only outstanding traits of his augmentation are his bright, almost glowing red eyes and snow white hair. Seig likes to break regulation by allowing his hair to grow beyond the required length - however his place is never in the presence of brass, and if it is then it is required by the code of his squad to appear before them in full attire which includes their helmet. Only those of his team and regulars in his corner of the station know what his face looks like - the rest see him, as they do his team, as figures of death - clad in armor and unwavering. Outside of his armor, Seig likes to dress somewhat casual with whatever he can find lying around outside of a small bracelet he wears constantly on his left wrist with the name "Alise" etched across it's platinum surface.

Biography : Seig comes from the days before the discovery of Particle 212. He grew up through the first 13 years of his life during the not-as-easy time of the human race and their overflowing population of the planet. At the age of 24 he enlisted into the space program which led to him eventually being pushed into the military venture side of it all. At the age of 28, quite some time after Particle 212 had been harnessed and biologic augmentations had been concreted, Seig became one of the first official humans to have their life-span extended through the use of tools and augmentations created through the use of Particle 212. At age 30, he was shipped off to Titan to join in their Orbital security defense. At age 50, he was promoted to lead tactician of his squad. At age 82, Seig was commended as the leader of his squad and promoted to LT. After many successful missions he was commissioned as LT.Commander and given provision over the entire R.e.a.p.e.r task force.
Personality : Seig comes off as emotionally detached, though he plays it off as being talkative and laid back. Through his years he has learned to separate himself from his emotions as well as keep his emotions separate from his job. The only things that matter to him are the members of his team. Seig spends quite a lot of time in solitary in his quarters, reflecting on journal entries and reading outdated books that aren't uploaded to an electronic device. Out of combat situations, he tries to come off as friendly and open. However, his true nature comes out in combat. Seig is cold, calculating, and precise. He does not enjoy repeating himself and absolutely hates mistakes that can be avoided with a forward thinking.
Skills : Advanced Tactician, Weapons expert, Small space vessel knowledge, Electronics expert, expert marksman.

Signing on with the newly sanctioned Colonial Defense Authority, Meyers has delivered his cargo of colonial marines and super-heated plasma streams directly to the enemy too many times to be counted. Now at the point in his career where he can end rebellions by merely appearing in orbit, he has received orders concerning the welfare of titan and all the stations there.

Her hull is composed of Titanium G, which is the hardest material in the known galaxy so far.

R.E.A.P.E.Rs



Name : Anders Nyum
Nick Name : None
Age : 108
Sex : Male
Career : R.E.A.P.E.R tactical Squad
Appearance :
Personality : Anders is a laid back and very outgoing individual. He takes his position as #3 in the squad to heart, but doesn’t go about it in a prideful manner. He likes to make friends, make conversation, and promote a tension-free environment for everyone around him. In battle and off duty he is essentially the same save for if the lives of his team are in grave danger. While everyone in his squad shares a strong bond, his attention to this bond goes above and beyond. He would gladly lay down his life for the others he has grown to compare to his family.
Skills
: Ace Shot – Close Quarters Combat Expert – Mechanical Expert – Random Historical Knowledge

Name : Robin Almonz
Nick Name : ‘Mephistopheles’ (Celestia Only)
Age : 200
Sex : Female
Career : R.E.A.P.E.R tactical Squad
Appearance :
Personality : Robin is cold and determined. She is a woman of wisdom and experience and as such wears it like a brightly colored dress. Being the #2 in the squad, she is Lt.Commander Seig Akais’ right hand when it comes to any and all needs for the team. She keeps herself emotionally detached from others outside of her kindred bond with her squad family. It is, ironically, the only family she has ever known and openly admits to being a true orphan with no traceable lineage. There seems to be a dark secret in her past, however, and the slightest hint that anyone attempts to approach it calls for the walls to come collapsing on them.
Skills : Highly Skilled CQC – Advanced Technical Understanding – Trajectory Analysis – Subterfuge

Name : Kayle Dortch
Nick Name : None
Age : 79
Sex : Male
Career : R.E.A.P.E.R tactical Squad
Appearance :
Personality : Kayle is reserved and calm. He doesn’t go out of his way to make friends or stir conversation but is very warm once he opens up and speaks. He likes to remain collected and level headed, rarely every losing his temper. He is just as likely to help a man up as he is to sit and stay with them while their wounds are mended.
Skills : Extremely enduring – Vast weapons knowledge – Medical Experience

Name : Gabriel Razeil
Nick Name : ‘Grim’
Age : 174
Sex : Male
Career : R.E.A.P.E.R tactical Squad
Appearance :
Personality : Gabriel is very dark and reserved. He is silent and calculating – but is highly efficient. During his several decades of service with the team, not once has he shown a shred of emotion outside of his machine-like nature to get in and get the job done. He is a solitary soul and is pleased best when left to himself and his mechanisms. On top of his devoid nature, he also rarely speaks – naturally only when it is priority or protocol. If he goes out of his way to speak with you, you should either be afraid or honored.
Skills : Machine-Like accuracy – Infiltration – Assassination – Subterfuge – Hacking

Name : Ryan Motser
Nick Name : Risky
Age : 28
Sex : Male
Career : R.E.A.P.E.R tactical Squad
Appearance :
Personality : Ryan, better known as ‘Risky’ is a very spontaneous and outgoing young man. He is by far the youngest member of the team and though highly skilled and experienced, in relation he is still a child. ‘Risky’ made a name for himself, literally, by taking chances that no one else in their right mind would take, and somehow overcoming the odds each and every time. Though many of these cases have resulted in major injury, it’s never put him on his back in a position where he wouldn’t get up and keep going. If there’s something to be done and can only be done in the craziest of fashions, ‘Risky’ is the man to do it.
Skills : Demolitions, Explosives, Air-Craft Piloting, Terrain Vehicle Piloting

Name : Miranda Mar’Zarad
Age : 147
Sex : Female
Career : R.E.A.P.E.R tactical Squad
Appearance :
Personality : Miranda is an odd type. Though she is physically beautiful, she holds herself in a masculine regard. This is no bearing on her sexuality, mind you. As a young girl she was left without parents due to a tragic accident. Soon after, she was adopted by the prestigious Mar’Zarad family. Over time she grew to cope with her loss and living situations by taking up notice of the amount of finances she had access to. She is not a ‘Money is all’ woman, but more so she was shaped by it. She took out her frustrations and worries by traveling the world as well as other orbital bodies using her families’ name and empire. Through this she finds a thrill in challenge, danger, and was ultimately transformed into the woman she is today. Outgoing, dangerous, strong, daring, and always looking for ways to better herself– Mirandas’ overpowering presence in the R.E.A.P.E.Rs is exactly why she is one of the teams’ best assets.
Skills : Heavy Ordinance – CQC Expertise – Tracking – Hacking -




Alright, so in an effort/experiment to not only get something serious together that won't burn out so quickly as well as test the waters for

extended RP genre available here, I am undertaking the project of creating a new RP series for everyone. These, of course, will come with time as we will focus on a single one for now. I will Moderate the thread with my own rules and regulations - all of which you will find to be very lax and easy to deal with. These will be written in a comprehensive post later in this thread once the genre is decided.

For now, simply decide on which genre you would like to participate in. We need at least 5 members. You are allowed multiple characters as long as you can keep up with the number you select. :)

Edit :

I will keep the voting open until this Saturday morning. That's August 11th. I know there are timezone differences with everyone, so we will surely accommodate for that in the near future. As for the references used in the polls, we will first be deciding on a Genre, then I will make a quick clarification post on what the RP will be about. Once everyone is clear, we will open the official thread. New comers and veterans are all welcome. Don't be afraid to pitch ideas, input, etc.

The Genre has been selected! Standby for Takeoff!
 
In order to clean up and due to the recent permissions issues with this section, I have remade this thread.

Back to having fun!

I'm going to see if I can formulate a better way to get character profiles out and in the known. There are a few small changes that I need to make and will be making them soon.

Thank you. There's been a bit of winging - trying to get action in for everyone without making the reaper team the spotlight It's eventually going to narrow down to core characters being able to branch out their storylines and such - so be ready.

As I said before, feel free to take up multiple roles, invite people, pitch ideas, etc. ;) this new 'enemy' should be interested for everyone. I'll be writing up some information on them after it's released in the RP.

I know up until now that you guys have been flying a little bit blind, but don't worry - you're meant to be for the moment. Here soon there is going to be a good set of clarification mixed in once everyone gets into position.

Haha. Everyone needs a break from their jobs.

Well, so the story will begin to unfold.

How did they awaken?
What are 'they'?
Are they invincible?
What is 'Titan'?

It will be answered.

It's got a damaged processor meaning that it's protect human clause has misfired. It's rewriting it's offensive algorithms, and honing for the kill. Celestia should be aware of this through the data link?

Perhaps, but her focus is on the orbital station she's about to use to light up the ground. :D

We'll see what happens. ;) Wanna make sure everyone is caught up before we move on.

Think of it as a very hefty and heavy platform - it's being ripped apart and collapsing from the top. It's a very degrading situation.

Enemies are in legions. 
You... dove...directly towards the apparent terminator killing machine.

-clap-

This.. is about to get excellent.

How are we to handle this fight with the android? What happens when two playing characters battle?

How are we to handle this fight with the android? What happens when two playing characters battle?


When two characters battle, it is really in regard of best judgement. This is where you'll really be tested. My rule is 'No Auto-hitting'. You do not determine if your attack lands, the receiver of the attack does. The attacker should leave room for error and also take the enemy into account. In this instance, this is an Android. He's likely not going to give a damn about fire, small arms fire likely isn't going to do anything, and punching it in the face is likely not going to work.

So for instance if Miranda were to attack, as she did, it could go like this.

"Miranda lays down a spray of fire, aiming the inaccurate shots as best she could towards the torso of the Android."

Now, The android could make up what happens and decide to counter attack if wanted. Kind of like what you did with the 212 Creature. It didn't say it hit you, only initiated the attack. You decided a counter attack, etc.

" The Android continued pacing forward, eyes locked on the engineer until the soft pelt of tungsten rounds pinged from it's alloy skeleton. It turned it's attention to the Reaper as she continued firing, raising it's own weapon and firing off a single, well aimed shot."

At this point it's on Miranda. So as I am her owner, I could either have her take the hit which could kill her, injure her, or glance off by moving a bit as it is only a single but obviously well aimed shot. Or I could have her dodge it by some means that is within logical reason such as leaping away - but she is injured so she likely doesn't have a ton of strength.

Just use best judgement and stay within reason. Don't catch a bullet with your teeth, or backhand a rocket.
