    I was inspired to run a horror game set in space. It is going to be about character interaction, and surviving an outside hostile threat.

    Humans only, and no mystic powers, no magic, and no hypertechnology.

    Anyone interested?

    This RP is currently full. Unless you have one of the reserved slots on the Crew roster (see blow) I am not accepting any more players.

    Well thats ok, is it not?

    Anyways, I am in... as always.

    Is it a new consept? I would not like to kill Aliens, Predators or other known Alien critters. I like that we do not have any hyper technology.

    Well, I'll tell all of my victims the truth, the adventure is still being developed, and will have a large part to do with what sort of vessel is the most popular in the voting poll. Right now it is a three-way tie between military, science, and salvage ship.

    Its starting to get dark...I hope no one is afraid of the dark.

    Casting my vote...hehehe...and it is for the Salvage ship.

    Ship is ready for launch in the Moderated forum. All personel please report to the medical bay for physical and mission briefing.

  7. Crew Roster

    #7
    Commander - Captain Johannes Stern
    Chief Medical Officer - Lt. Kim Marney
    Asst. Medical Officer - Corp. Huey 'Hue' Long Luke Lavin
    Chief Engineering Officer - Lt. Jenna 'Pockets' Domino Ria Hawk
    Asst. Engineering Officer - Corp. Maurice 'Pliers' Dulman ShadowEagle
    Ships Pilot - Michaelle "Micky" St. George ScorpionJinx
    Shuttle Pilot/Crewman - Pr. Severin Talbot Michael Jotne Slayer
    Shuttle Pilot/Crewman - Reserved for MoonHunter
    Shuttle Pilot/Crewman - Eric "Pere" Johnson Alec Shadowkin
    Shuttle Pilot/Crewman - Reserved for Captain Penguin

    Any slots not filled by Players will be filled with NPCs.

    Note on weapons, the captain has a side arm, the only weapon legally on board. It is not uncommon for crewmen to smuggle weapons of their own aboard, but these are generally limited to knives, or small arms that could be smuggles aboard. The I.S.S. Ballard is an unarmed civilian vessel.

    arg listen i malfed and posted before you made other post here. listen can i be the corpseman for the medical bay. Kinda of the Doctors assistant, help restrain wild patients, organize everything. you know the scrub?

    just remembered if this is a salvage ship then there supposed to be alot of medical personel. So could my character still work. If not I'll edit but I was just wondering?

  11. Crew Roster

    #11
    Made some changes in the crew line up, dropped the two generic slots in favor of an auxilliary pilot/crewman and an assistant med officer. Luke had a good point with this being a rescue ship.

    Welcome aboard Ria. Maybe Marney wont be the only woman on board

    Just remember that all personel are to report to the medical bay first.

    Looking Good.

    I would like to be a shuttle pilot/Crewman. The sceneray sound intriguing. Bring it on bro. I like the dark. Please.

    The door is open, come on in, and show yourself to the medbay for a physical.

    Ship will be departing soon, so don't dally

    :D

    The Assistant Engineering officer sounds good :)

  15. [Gothic Space Horror] Searching for Victims

    #15
    Would there be any reason for a chaplain or clergyman to be on board, perhaps as an assistant to the Chief medical Officer or something?

    I think I made it, I am under your wing now scras. lets hope i dont ruin anything oh mighty gamemaster. If so, let me know.

    Hey! I think that rhymes; If so, let me know.

    Severin is a real name,... if anyone wondered.

    Alright.

    The Luddites are a group much like the Amish. They believe that machinery and technology in general are evil and will lead to the downfall of humanity, or something like that.

    A note on Faster Than Light ships (FTL from hence) They do exist, but they are incredibly expensive, and rare. Perhaps one out of every fifty ships is capable of traversing interstellar space. Most traffic is restricted to ion drive or more primitive plasma jet engines.

    If anyone wants an explanation...well. I could explain the tech but I would rather not. It is arduous, but both engines currently exist now, though neither is very powerful or very efficient.

    NOOO!
    I wanted to join!

    I can make room for one more, Captain.

    I posted this over in the OOC for Aalbaich as well, but this is just in case you didnt see it there first.

    The more the merrier, but after this, the game will be 100% full, as I will require the operation of 2 NPCs

    Looking forward to your responce Captain.

  20. [Gothic Space Horror] Searching for Victims

    He could be some recerve crew that joins at Europa.

    Good idea, we can rescue Captain Penguin from the frozen moon that he really might be from. :lol:

    The Matter of the UES Calypso

    The Calypso was a light cruise liner that took rich tourists out on cruises to observe the various phenomina of the Jupiter system, sight seeing the ring, and the plethora of moons and habitats that have grown there.

    A passenger smuggled a gun aboard, just for fun. The weapon was discharged accidentally, and created a rupture in the hull. It was a small leak, and didnt set off the alarms, and over the course of the next 24 hours, the ship hemorraged oxygen, and everyone on board passed out from thin air/oxygen depravation. A few tried to escape, but only three people managed out alive.

    Nearly 550 men, women, and children dead, the worst disaster in space travel history.

  22. Crew Positions

    Sorry, I missed where I was supposed to be going. I edited my post to reflect the proper location.

  24. [Gothic Space Horror] Searching for Victims

    #24
    Ooh! Ooh! Me join! Me join! Me join!

  25. [Gothic Space Horror] Searching for Victims

    #25
    I am quite sorry but I do not seem to know where I am going..
    What is Severins station or post?

  26. [Gothic Space Horror] Searching for Victims

    #26
    Michael As a auxiliary/pilot, he would either take the navigations seat next to Mickey, or man the communications post, on the rear of the bridge. If he handles the first, he will be feeding flight data to the helm pilot. If he takes the other, he will run communications between the Ballard, and the spacedock.

    Which ever post you take, Alec Shadowkin ala Pere, should assume the other, or if he gets one first, you should assume the other.

    Everyone, we are looking green.

    Quick note for Captain Penguin, You will be picked up at the Europa refueling post, where your character will have been on shore leave, or looking for another space flight mission. Europa is a major transit hub in the Terran Solar system, and sees heavy traffic.

    Moonhunter should also embark on the Ballard at that same pit stop. Replacing two pilots who failed to muster at the dock.

    I'm not going to bother reading through the thread- it makes it easier for me not to metagame. So unless there is something I must know from the previous pages, I've got all I need.
    By the way, could you notify me when my number's up? I'm not sure when you dock in Europa.

  28. [Gothic Space Horror] Searching for Victims

    #28
    Your number wont take long to come up. Heh heh.

    If you read over the thread youll read more about the other players, and get the mission briefing, not much to the meta-game IMO.

    The Ballard will be arriving soon

  29. [Gothic Space Horror] Searching for Victims

    Navigation: The space lanes scanned clear, no dangeorus debris or ships in the way. Trejectory is clear all the way to Europa.

    Helm: All propulsion systems green, all control systems green also. One light flicks yellow, an aft thuster shutdown. Not a major concern, but it should be looked at when docked for refueling at Europa. Being the helmsman, it is Mickeys duty to pilot. Severin is busy with the navigation station.

    Engineering: all systems green, but the reactor output has a hiccup in it. Nothing outside of parameters, but both engineers can notice this.

    MedBay: All systems green, all crew monitor show good. (small device in uniform that registers pulse, skin temperature. Easily removed.

  30. Oops

    #30
    I jumped ahead of a few players. i have pulled my last post, and will not resubmit it until everyone has posted and we are ready to pull out of the docks.

    We will still be stopping at Europa to pick up Moon and the Captain.

    Ok Quick note here. It is "Micky" Not "Mickey" I know that this is a little tiny thing. But one is her name the other is a big cartoon mouse. Thank you. :)

  32. [Gothic Space Horror] Searching for Victims

    #32
    I'm just a lowly shuttle pilot... :)

  33. [Gothic Space Horror] Searching for Victims

    #33
    Ex-Military pilot here. One lean, mean, monster/alien fighting machine.

  34. [Gothic Space Horror] Searching for Victims

    #34
    Bump

    waiting for Pere, at the communications console


    While we are waiting, Cap'n and Moon you two can do your intro posts from Tybee Station on Europa, where you are waiting to be picked up by the next assignment, the Ballard.

    Tybee is a former military installation that was decommisioned, and later recommisioned as a fueling base for pansolar traffic. The base is neary 200 years old and not in the best shape.

    Think Mos Eisley, but with alot of cold, and near instantly fatal surface conditions.

    #35
    Is it alright if my character speaks both English and a Lunar dialect thereof?

  36. [Gothic Space Horror] Searching for Victims

    #36
    Rock on with your bad self.

    Lunar is fine as long as we can understand most of what you are saying

  37. [Gothic Space Horror] Searching for Victims

    #37
    Will do. :)

  38. [Gothic Space Horror] Searching for Victims

    #38
    Whoa. I just realized I might be the lowest ranking person playing in this game. Makes me feel as warm and fuzzy.
    Me and my one little flame thingy.
    :twisted:

  39. [Gothic Space Horror] Searching for Victims

    #39
    Er, I'd like to apologise for my inactivity the last few days, as I am currently sick as a dog. I have a bad case of influenza and quite simply cannot concentrate well enough to roleplay. It actually gives me a headache! :o

    Anywho - My flu is beginning to clear up, I think, so I should be back in proper action in 2 or 3 days. If the GM would like to take control of my character until then, if needed, feel free.

  40. [Gothic Space Horror] Searching for Victims

    #40
    Well ShadowEagle, I hope you get to feeling better, it has been a long time since I got the flu but I remember it well enough to sympathize with you.

    One thing to remember Jinx, is that we all started with just one flame...or at least I think everyone did. :)
