This is a story and an RP. I will write a story and you posters can participate in it.
(Think of it like an experimental TTRPG game. I am the GM.)
The story in one sentence:
You awaken in what seems to be "the future", on a spaceship, with no memory of your past, and you are now expected to integrate into this unfamiliar, yet familiar, society.
The Rules
Joining
In order to join all you have to do is:
Note: You don't have to have read any of the previous story to join since your character knows nothing anyways. Of course, knowing more will help you figure out what you want to do with your character though.
Character Creation
Everyone will awake as an amnesiac. Therefore, Do Not Create a Backstory. You do not know your character's backstory, if they have one at all.
Create a Name. Preferably a Legal Name:
(First Name + Surname. Ex: Jon Doe / Jane Doe)
Create an Appearance and Characteristics:
For simplicity's sake, let's say you can only be a Human.
To Participate
You perform whatever you want to. No restrictions. (Just don't break forum rules.) If rules need to be invented we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
Try to match other posters' energy. I will try my best as well.
About Not Participating
Let's say you choose to not post, or you forget to post, or you miss a bit, or you quit forever, or quit temporarily: Don't worry! There is no expectation to participate. If you do not act in a time appropriate manner, your character will simply be idle. In lore this is known as "Sudden Sleep Disorder", or in other words, "your character spontaneously fell asleep", probably while standing. (More explained in story/lore.)
Disclaimers
The story will include various dark themes from time to time: IE. Death, Murder, Basic Gore, ect. Participate at your own discretion if you have triggers. I also will likely use swears occasionally.
Additionally, I, as the gamemaster, am fallible. I may misinterpret your intents and actions and may make your character behave differently than how you would expect.
Also, I am making this semi-spontaneously. I have no idea how little/much traction this will get, so I have not planned too far ahead, so bare with my skills or lack thereof please.
Everything Must One Day End
Everything gets boring. Everything has a perfect time to die for dramatic effect. At some point, potentially never, the story/scenario may end. Also, at some point prior to this, I may decide to permanently "kill off" your character.
There's a strong chance this might never happen, that we never get this far, but just know that it can happen, and if this goes on infinitely, it will. After a story/scenario ends permanently, a new one will be created with different circumstances.
If your character gets killed off permanently, you are allowed to make a new one. Also, if you want to see your character be permanently killed off, either because you want a new character, or because you want to quit, let me know and I'll see what I can do.
FAQ
If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask.
Any comments or suggestions let me know.
The Spaceship
Over the Intercom - A Robotic Male Voice:
"A New Member: Sonny Sunlight has awakened."
A sleek, white-painted, titanium pod releases steam. At the front of it, a curved door with an opaque sky-blue window glides out and upwards, like a moth wing emerging from a cocoon. As it does, the dark interior is revealed along with the body situated inside. They are a pale man, unconscious, with long, tangled, brown hair. Then, the chamber brightens with deep marine-colored neon lights inside.
For a second, the blinding lights pierce his eyes as he comes to. His crusty eyes flutter open gently.
Sonny Sunlight:
"W-Wuh... Where am I?" are his first words upon his rebirth. He pulls himself up out of the pod. White fluorescent lights and boring off-white greets him. Sonny takes note that the room has many, many, more pods. Most of them are closed, but various random ones are open.
At the far wall of the room, what appears as a young adult, pink-haired, female, nurse behind a windowed desk meets eyes with Sonny. She then opens the door between the win-desk and the chamber room.
She approaches with gray clothes in hand for Sonny and an awkward smile on her face.
