I'm porting this over from main NS. Its a thread I had there but it died. So I am moving it here. The original post is below. So, I've had this idea in the back of my head for a while, constantly developing it, until I finally decided that it was complex enough to put on paper. This is a character based RP, taking place on the small colony of Asheron, an outpost in the Verge (The border of the Phoenix Arm of the Milky Way galaxy and, subsequently, the border of the Imperium Karpates as well). A mere ten years back, a team of archaeologists uncovered something on a nearby colony, while investigating the ruins of an ancient civilization known as the Precursors or First Civilization, the first civilization in the galaxy, which mysteriously vanished some 2 billion years ago. They called that finding the Star Map and at first, it didn't really attract too much attention from anyone, especially since the Carpathian Reconquista was in full swing and everyone was focused on the conflict between the Imperium Karpates and the Intersystem Alliance. However, once news of it reached the highest ranks of the Imperium, order was sent from the core worlds of the Voievodate itself to kill the archaeologists and destroy the entire planet. A fleet of ships was dispatched and singularity weapons were used to reduce the planet to dust. Legends about this Star Map abound, some say it lead to a treasure trove of technology left by the Precursors. Others say it is a map to the Precursor homeworld, somewhere in the Outer Rim, or the even more dangerous Uncharted, a region of space now impossible to navigate due to a huge number of spatial anomalies which will rip apart any ships who cross it. The Star Map remained a legend until recently, when a rumour surfaced that it was smuggled offworld before the Voievodate fleet arrived to destroy the planet. And according to the rumour, the Star Map was transported through a number of systems, its last known location being the small colony of Asheron. Ten years ago, Asheron was a vibrant and growing colony, under the governance of the democratic, multi-species union called the Intersystem Alliance. However, the Carpathian's had launched their Reconquista, who's purpose was to unite the human colonies of the Phoenix Arm. Since Asheron was a predominately human colony, the Carpathians struck hard. Now, Asheron sits right at the edge of the Imperium Karpates and smack in between the territories of three Carpathian warlords. Also, in recent years, the injured Intersystem Alliance, which from a galactic power has been reduced to a coalition of economically exhausted worlds, has finally licked its wounds and started to look to its former member colonies with a certain kind of hunger. ISA armadas have began launching an increasing number of raids on Asheron and its neighboring colonies and to make matters worse, a Carpathian criminal organization known as the Syndicate of Thieves, operates on the colony, which has become something sort of their local HQ. Syndicate fleets constantly patrol the system, something which has kept the three warlords away, who do not want to become involved in a war of attrition against the Syndicate, especially since they are all looking forward to the upcoming renewal of the hostilities against Intersystem Alliance. Due to the tensions, the Asheron system is plagued by piracy and a heaven for smugglers. Asheron itself has a population of 800 million and is ruled by a corrupt, Syndicate-controlled government. Poverty is high and laws seem to be limited to "Obey the local crime lord". Whatever law enforcement is present, only acts as thugs for the Syndicate and without the presence of a warlord, who's military power would pacify the planet, Asheron is facing civil unrest, high crime rates and frequent terrorist attacks from non-human minority groups. There are several factions present and operating in and around Asheron, all of which are presented below:
Ok, so it goes like this. Your character has either learned on his/her own about the Star Map and decides, for whatever reason, to look for it, or your character is backed by a government/corporation/other organization which seeks to get its hands on the secrets of the map. Either way, the said character must have at least some resources at his/her disposal, enough to enable him/her to look for the map. On the other side, I don't want your character to have a whole fleet at his/her disposal, a single ship is enough. You can be anything, from a pirate or mercenary, to scientist, to governmental operative. This will be a series of threads, with each thread forming a chapter. For the first chapter, players will be confined to Zafira and most of the action should take place on Asheron, which is where they will arrive. From this point on, what you do is up to you, but bear in mind that you will run into the Syndicate and the other factions along the way, so you will have to get involved into criminal activity. Below, you will find an application form for your character. Once at least five characters have signed up, we can start the first thread.

Name: Juster Hayesande Species: lol human Gender: male Planet of Provenience: he's a human, who knows... Age: 24 Occupation: Bounty Hunter Reason for Interest in the Star Map: He was hired to kill an old scholar-guy who was looking for the Star Map and got way in over their head. After killing the man, Hayesande found all his research on the Star Map. Lets just say he was curious. Description: Juster Hayesande doesn't know where he's from, and he was raised by a group of bounty hunters now known as "the Emperors of Daiena". He was probably taken from his original family during a Daiena raid. He was raised to be a bounty hunter, and actually lived a pretty nice life, as he mentored under a surprisingly wise man named Stoddy Hayesande, who actually gave Juster his name. The Emperors of Daiena were destroyed in a raid from another guild when Juster was 20. He was the only survivor, and because of the remote location of the clans hidden base, he was forced to bury his former family by himself. Afterwards, he took the clan ship, the Marston's Last Stand and hasn't looked back since. He's been a private bounty hunter and gun-for-hire for the last few years, and a year ago received his first steady job taking contracts from a high ranking politician in some empire. This politician gave him the contract for the old man, because said politician had interests in the star map himself and wanted the old man offed before he could go public. Justers contract stated that he would destroy all of the man's research, but he didn't, so if the politician were to find out... Assets (Money, ship, etc): well, he has the Marston's Last Stand, which is... An above average vessel with a lot of user-modifications (definitely voided warranty). He also has a typical arsenal of weaponry, mostly modified too. He also has the usual menagerie of nifty tools like boot guns, grappling hooks, throwing daggers, and the like. As far as money goes, he's reasonably well off, but not crazy wealthy. Being a successful bounty hunter, Juster has connections to many of the seedier elements of Asheron. Picture (Optional): ![]() Here's a plan for the Marston's Last Stand: Marston's Last Stand Edited by Flo, Aug 4 2013, 04:12 PM.

@Flo: Your character is accepted. Go ahead and post @RC: Any species is accepted, as for planet of provenience, basically what planet your character was born on. Can be anything. |

Name: Assod Wardoms Species: Human Gender: Male Planet of Provenience: Asheron Age: 24 Occupation: Quartermaster for the Pickaxe City Security Administration Reason for Interest in the Star Map: At first, Assod believes that the map is simply a legend or myth, but he is persuaded by strong convictions. Description: Assod Wardoms has lived in Asheron for his entire life, and worked as a dealer and vendor in the arms market since he was twelve. Thus, he was exposed to the darkness of life at a young age, and like most of Asheron, is jaded by the darkness of his past. He quit the arms market when he was 21 and left for Pickaxe City to find work, where his weapons expertise made him suitable for repairing, maintaining, and upgrading the cities defenses. He was a natural, and before long was appointed Quartermaster, where he would coordinate and organize the supply, repairs, and weapons operations of the PCSA. His hard life has made him a pragmatic realist. He is close friends with Juster Hayesande, and the two have a significant history together, and Assod is the only one Juster trusts to upgrade and modify his ship. Assets (Money, ship, etc): he is rather successful, and so wealthy, but his dedication an loyalty prevent him from abusing his status and title for personal gain, so the resources of the PCSA are largely unavailable to him, though he can access some of them, should it be ABSOLUTELY necessary. Beyond that, he knows how to fix, upgrade, and maintain weapons, ships, vehicles, pretty much anything mechanical or electrical. Picture (Optional): ![]() --- If anyone wants to play as Assod, feel free. He's available Edited by Flo, Jul 16 2013, 04:49 AM.

Name: Balzar Un'duk Species: Turian Gender: Male Planet of Provenience: *Classified* Age: 18 Occupation: Soldier Reason for Interest in the Star Map: He is a secret operative for the The Intersystem Alliance Navy's Third Armada, he believes that the Star Map can help the ISA unify the Phoenix arm by giving them access to precursor technology. Description: Balzar is a Turian and belongs to the elite Shadow division of the ISA's Third Armada. His family has had a military background, both of this parents were officers in the Turian Military. Both of his parents were lost during Reconquista during the Carpathian attacks on the ISA, Balzar was 14 at the time. After this he made a promise to himself that he would join the military in the special operations division. One year later, he joined the Turian military and when he turned 18 he was chosen to enter the ISA Special Operations. The Star Map operation is his first command operation and he has on Asheron to begin his operation. Balzar is currently traveling with an ISA special operations team, disguised as mercenaries. Assets (Money, ship, etc): Their current ship is the "Wrath of Dracon." It is a highly modified paramilitary ship, with many disguised weapons and systems. The ISA has provided the team with a substantial amount of money, but they must use it wisely, because the team is not allowed to directly contact the ISA. The team has a variety of skills, but they are trained to work independent of ISA support. Picture (Optional):

I fixed the post by the way. He's now a "rugged warrior type" and Assod can't identify exactly what he is.

Hey carp, could you write up the bit about the wastes and the caves? This is your world, and I don't want to create too much without clarifying things. |
