Guize, Are We Still Doing This?

[Merci]

Since I just noticed this thread, I'd like a bit of clarification. This is a Sci-Fantasy, right? If that's the case, then this is already a superb RP. Internet is a must, and personally, I'd rather have each race simply be aliens that were discovered by humans (a bit like Star Trek?), though I suppose one race could originate through genetic experiments.

 

If more than one intelligent race comes about through that way, then it kinda raises the issue of what diversity and uniqueness really means, and if humanity is playing god with life, doesn't it? But having them as bio-engineered beasts is a lot better, and it allows for things even like dragons to come into play. Biological dragons with airplane-like flight, rather than fantastical dragons.

[Aix]

How about bio-engineered creatures that served the same fuction as the transportation. Imagine something like Totoro's Catbus. Though, I guess FFI-VI style airships are plausible.

That would imply the present technology is sufficient to do advanced stuff like that. Final Fantasy airships should good for long-distance travel.

I don't think teleportation is a good idea.

Kyng's idea for shorter distances or smaller numbers.

Hm, the dilemma between aliens or bio-engineering. Aliens give us the possibility of other planets, but idk, we have enough land already with a single Dyson Sphere which is bigger than thousands of planets and I like the sound of bio-engineered better.

So, I think we'll go with:
Humans - template race
Elves - sacrifice physical ability for longevity
Drow (maybe?)
Orc - strength boost
Dwarves (I dunno, sounds unlikely that anyone would want to make themselves shorter and we already have orcs for strength)
Avians - flight
Merfolk - breath underwater, withstand pressure
Elysion (just looked better to me spelt this way ;p) - sacrifice physical ability for magic
with more to be discovered on other sectors.

Now for the kingdoms/sectors. I think there should be some sort of badlands between sectors, a giant gaping crack with corridors, tubes and wiring connecting sectors and no atmosphere control. A lot of areas are damaged from when the Dyson Sphere was destroyed, so it is very difficult to traverse, except by airship.

I'm going to pull back the name of Valrune Confederation, if no one minds, except this is the name of a sector that is approximately the size of one Earth and is the main setting of our RP. Basically a very beautiful place with terrain ranging mostly between mountains and forests and large bodies of water. It is a nation converged from multiple nations. The King is an elf who believes in the power of authority and control.

The main city is called... Sentrallis, I dunno, bad with names... and is a massive city built inside a mountain range is heavily fortified by turrets and stuff.

Speak up guys.

Since we're talking about Sci-fantasy, with the existence of dragons, monsters, the Sphere, and the other humanoid races, I think it's wholly possible for my idea to work, assuming the bio-modifications is inherited.

Bold: For the Rps sake of it getting in. I can live with that.

 

& For Teleportation, that could be done on for the most highest of security. Such as a massive Prison (Possible where the Incarceron-ish section is).

[Maeriberii Haan]

Dwarf pretty much sacrifices magic (and height) for everything else.

What is this "everything else"?

Then, it's so energy consuming that its only used for such, I suppose it could work that way.

Anyway, we come back to the topic of magic, because that really needs to be settled. So, are we going with "natural" nanites that respond to the caster's will, or something like an energy converted into physical phenomena?

[bury the year]

Also, as an FYI, my computer's dead, so I won't be on regularly for a bit.

Natural nanites is better than no nanites; I say we go with that.

 

...

 

Now that that's out of the way, I just wanna say that I like the aspect of involving dwarves into the Sci-Fantasy world... even if they don't exist as a race themselves, but as a genetic class of humans to an extent.

Hm... maybe originally a worker class race created for slave labour?

[D.A._Sakuyamon]

Why not have both?

 

The nanites could act as a synthetic knockoff for races that can't actually perform real magic maybe?

 

Also, about the high amount of power for the teleporters. That could work or it could also be that their aren't very many working teleporters after the Dyson Sphere was destroyed. To further this idea, the teleports could only ever TP someone to a predefined location. Meaning, the teleporters each had a set destination they could go to. So with the down fall of the Dyson Sphere many of the teleporters were rendered useless or destroyed save a few.

 

Your thoughts of the massive prison? I was thinking that could be a separate piece from the Dyson Sphere outside of the main place. It'd make sense too because then save for the unlikely chance of flying to it or a another fragment of the Dyson Sphere coming in contact with it there'd only be of way in and out. Which would be the teleporter.

 

How do these ideas sound?

[D.A._Sakuyamon]

Have people just lost interest in this or is it just the Holidays?

[Maeriberii Haan]

Pretty much Holidays.

[Aix]

Time to get this rolling.

So teleporters could be some sort of ancient technology that can't be reproduced? That sounds like an idea.

The prison could work, I suppose.

Lemme, see, I think we have most things covered in planning. I think I'll create a Google Doc for an actual write-up of everything: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1W-LUF-TnQVYJYKLUw9v17LVg15bmX8CmUswGfBgXS28/edit?usp=sharing

Anyone can comment, but please post who you are in the comment as well. If you want to edit, just tell me.

[Lunar Origins]

Holy mess, this is looking nice.

 

Mind if I involve myself a tad?

 

Dwarves could be a slave-class, as already said; short, stocky, and nearly unlimited energy (while still retaining the less-than-desirable strength of a human).  It'd be perfect.  A 'dwarf' would need little sleep, little rest, and doesn't get tired at the cost of being the most basic of thing.  Because they don't get tired, they'd have plenty of time to hone their skills, lending their race towards scientists or artisans.

[D.A._Sakuyamon]

Thoughts on the Real Magic & Synthetic Magic idea?

[Aix]

Mkay, we really need to get this underway, does anyone have any ideas they wish to contribute?

[D.A._Sakuyamon]

Here's a question. How long has it been since the Dyson Sphere became fragmented?

[Aix]

Here's a question. How long has it been since the Dyson Sphere became fragmented?

Unknown, I suppose. But thousands of years?

 

Guize. We still here? Guize.

Guize.

[encapturer]

I'm just waiting for it to start ;)

[Kyng's Old Account]

I have no intention of partaking IC. I simply was here to offer suggestion.

[Admiral_Stalfos19]

I think we're all just waiting for it to start. Though we've yet to establish a timeline.

 

...

 

Maybe if we set it in the year 5000 or 6000. After all, considering an artificial planet 60x the size of Earth would be under construction, I'm thinking it would take a handful of millenniums to construct at the very least, despite all the advances in technology.

[goddamnit names are a pain]

No, the year should be 20XX, the way it used to be done. =P

50XX is actually fine. I just want XXs. And yeah, waiting for it to start, I suppose.

[Admiral_Stalfos19]

Actually, 5XXX would be better. Who knows? We might get a range that's closer to the middle :)

[D.A._Sakuyamon]

So magic & synthetic magic is good?

 

Both good go by the Eragon System.

 

The upside to real magic is that it has a much wider spectrum in terms of ability but is harder to control. While synthetic magic would be the opposite. Easier to control but you can only do so much with it.

[spoiler='was making the map'][/spoiler]

 

Okay, I gotta finish the Database. Time would be close to year 10000 or something, but the calendar shall start at 7000, so it's year 30XX
