@Mr.Misfit

So I tried to do this in futuristic where it belongs, but no one lives there. This is the next best place, I guess…

Anyone who’s done a roleplay with me knows I use one of three characters in sci-fi: Elizia, Brella, or Alaria. I decided that I’d focus a little more on Elizia and Brella Arazael, sisters and members of the Mechanist Faction. These two, as well as my Mechanist sub-plot, have been my biggest recent focus in regards to my Serathem Project, which is a sci-fi universe I’m building based on a race I made three years ago in Stellaris.

Here’s some vocabulary for ya:
Lovuthan: A race of humanoids capable of generating and storing pure energy, called Tis’Sindri in their language. They store larger quantities of this energy by creating additions to themselves with it. Brella and Elizia use butterfly wings(though they can’t fly with them), while other use it as armor or shielding. They mainly use laser technology to fight, and all of their technology is powered by Tis’Sindri.

Mechanists: The black sheep of the Lovuthan species. This is a faction of workers, mechanics, tinkerers, and realists where the majority of Lovuthans are devout spiritualists. Though typically left to their devices by most other Lovuthans, they often leave Love (The planet, not the feeling) far behind and work with more accepting species.

Lovuthans worship the Golden Age. That is, once upon a time they were nearly 5 times what they are now, but in a key stage of their star’s development their energy reacted and nearly caused a chain reaction of death. The ruins left behind still react to modern Lovuthan energy, and they began to worship them as they recovered from the near-extinction event.

So I want to do a Roleplay based on this to try and feel out the world a bit more, and maybe develop a practice draft for The Mechanists.

I’ll probably be playing Brella this time, as Elizia most likely won’t be out of the house yet. If anyone’s interested or has questions, just let me know!

@Mr.Misfit

I still haven’t quite decided how I’m gonna start this out, so I’ll probably give it ‘till tonight. Or until I get maybe three or four more peeps?

Do you have a template for how you want our characters?

@Mr.Misfit

Feel free to add a bit more! I usually like to let people flesh out their characters as they go, using text to fill in the blanks.

@Mr.Misfit

@CW_StarkSpangledBanner, what does the CW mean? I’ve seen that on a handful of people, like @CW-Write Like You're Running Out Of Time, but I have no idea what that is.

I’ll drum that up here in a bit. Trying to balance several things at once is never easy…

I relate to this too much…

Awesome! I will finagle a bit :)

A while back there was this really popular thread called 'who wants a British friend' that was run by a really nice guy we called chuck. Unfortunately he lost his battle to cancer. At least that's what I was told. He was a really nice guy so it's as a reminder

Wow. I’ve been a member for about a year and a half and never knew. Thanks for catching me up.

@Mr.Misfit

So I think I have a good plot to start with, which should exemplify the spirit of the Mechanists and the anti faction that threatens them.

Brella and co. Receive their first assignment: resupply a medical space station they commonly work and trade with. When they arrive, however, the station is destroyed, and all signs point to a Lovuthan fleet doing the damage. Survivors say it was another Mechanist fleet, but Brella seems to think it was someone else. And we go on from there.

If you want to be Lovuthan, what form does your excess energy take?(I.e. Brella’s wings): see above

@Mr.Misfit

I like it! The idea of a sister species comes to mind, doesn’t it?

I’m getting ahead of myself, of course, but yeah. I like the character herself as well! Very good image!

Background: Shay has a habit of accidentally getting into the worst type of situation, this time is no different as he literally stumbled into this friendship with the rest of the team.
If you want to be Lovuthan, what form does your excess energy take?(I.e. Brella’s wings): Calgriens don't use the same type of Lovuthan technology, instead they are able to wield a type of telekinesis that allows them to become extremely agile and acrobatic fighters

@Mr.Misfit

I suppose I should probably put in one with Brella:

Name: Brethelledonna Arazael (aka Brella)

Species(Doesn’t have to be Lovuthan. Be creative!): Lovuthan
Appearance: Latina type skin tone, dark brown frizzy hair that get’s in her eyes and falls down to her mid back.
Background: Just having left Love two years ago and serving as an apprentice for two years, she is now a fully fledged Mechanist with her own ship, the Scarlet. After picking up a crew, she was issued an order from the Mechanist fleet.
If you want to be Lovuthan, what form does your excess energy take?(I.e. Brella’s wings): Brella’s wings are a neon pink. Her sister’s are a neon blue, but that don’t matter.
