Welcome to a world of elves, orcs, dwarves, mermaids, dragons, and everything you can imagine! The tri-planetary solar system is peaceful and thriving- well, not thriving. There might be some problems with the cost of fuel for trans-planetary travel. Luckily for you, you planned your vacation years ago and got the tickets cheap. This nearly empty shuttle is taking off- but wait- is that screaming?

This is not your average rpg! I'm a GM and I'm testing out some new ideas for plot. Don't worry about rolling or stats, I just need some people to run through the game. Characters can be just about anything, I just ask no mermaids and no super-tragic backstories. Include as much detail in a character as you want, but be sure to specify race (like half-orc or dragonborn), class (like druid or cleric), reason for your trip, whether you know any magic (just a suggestion: it's better if you don't), and a reasonable list of things you packed.

I won't be playing a character, but I'll be manning all the other characters, so don't worry if your actions seem a little short. I promise there's only a couple character monologues, but I can't promise anything about how long descriptions will be ;)

(I play a specific version of Tiefling as long as it's okay with you. True Tieflings don't exist anymore, they're diluted, but the originals were elves that had explored with a material form into a plane they shouldn't have and became corrupted physically. They aren't evil, but there's a lot of racism around so most of them play into stereotypes out of bitterness. They get sick easily and have weak immune systems (Low constitution))

@Anemone eco

(The whole thing with the Tieflings is just fine! And I'm sorry for my indecisiveness, but is it alright if I'm a cleric instead?)

@A-Cool-Gecko

(Okie-Dokie, why were you on your way out? For reference, you're starting on a very ocean-y planet, Neifion, economy based mostly around tourism and sugar/fruit plantation. Violent war-ravaged mermaids live in the depths, peaceful dragons inhabit the larger islands and Aarakocra live on smaller islands and many have become rich in the century following initial planetary contact. You're headed to "the yellow planet," Vernera, specifically Rosenheart. Venera has an upper atmosphere of yellow toxic gas, but lower down, life thrives on three distinct continents, natives are humans, elves, and orcs. The human kingdom shares a lot of similarities to modern day Asia, including Russia and India. The ocrish lands are kinda like Australia. Elves are exactly the way you imagine, but more racist and they have spaceships)

(The other planet is Mangala, where one finds the shorter races, halflings, dwarves, and gnomes. The halfling economy is thriving off being a producer in agriculture, with magically infused soil. Gnomes have a natural advantage as negotiators and it's not yet understood why (high charisma stat). Many emigrated to Venera when contact was initially made. Dwarves, while still being known are metal and magic workers, hold the leading tech in oxygen producing wood for spaceships. They cut trees that can continue to photosynthesize in board form, hence why most spaceships have wooden flooring.)

@A-Cool-Gecko

(It's fine if you're the only one playing, but it might be more fun in a party of two or three. If no one joins in a couple hours, you're cool with starting, right? If someone else joins we can wait for them.)
