INFINITUM UNIVERSALIS
The desire to fly, to explore is something that has been handed down from our ancient ancestors... who would look enviously on the birds soaring effortlessly and freely through the infinite highway of the sky. But what those who peered deeper would notice, beyond the sky.... there lies a sea, one vast and endless. Filled with the possibility of adventure, story and a never ending amount of infinite possibilities.
But it is up to you, to find them. To forge your own adventures, to meet new civilizations, and explore the vast and empty unknown of reaches of space. Visit planets, galaxies, forge empires and coalitions. Discover new, and exciting things.
Infinite, Endless, it is a infinite Universe indeed.
Your adventure starts here, as all do. Humble Beginnings my young adventures, what will you find?
HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
Most role plays have two separate stages of a story line. You have it, or you do not. The question is, does IU have a storyline? Yes, and no. I put a lot of thought to this, brainstormed many ideas and even garnered some help along the way of people who wanted to pitch into to make a fully fleshed out plot. There is in fact a story, and it's got a pretty set in stone plot. Does that mean you can deviate from it? Of course, you're not on anyone's time table but yours. However there are some variables in it that are set in stone, and no matter how much you argue they're not going to change... Is it worth it to play through it though...I'd give you a big yes, because it's a great piece of work that is made from some great minds.
As for why it's a yes or no...the story will ramp up slowly, and at first it will be just a few foreshadowing, some I may put into myself or my posts. Others if you request you may foreshadow to and I'll work with you. (I'm only a telegram away, I don't bite. I'm serious) But there will come a zenith point where the roleplay story will dominate a majority of the universe laid out before you. If you don't like a story....either ride it out or just stay away from those participating in it until it's over. But as for this universe...what the story says is canon for this roleplay series, you may carry it outside if you wish or, wish to keep it here.
The story itself is something of a Space Opera, you can see where it's borrowed a lot from Lovercraftian, or the fear of the in-comprehensible unknown. There are things that will be part of the story that you just...can't explain that are there for a good story. You're probably going to be on the loosing end a lot during it, but just know. We're not going to kill anyone, or destroy the universe. It's part of the story that's been laid out. Who knows, you might have some fun! If you are interested in being one of the few who want to help out with the story? By all means telegram me.
Post story, it's a free world as it will be for a majority of the role play. Which will be split up into three threads, or it's planned to. You are humans and not robots, I can pre-plan for everything I have to expect things to not go as planned. The first should be the introductory period, ever five pages or so, I may skip ahead some time to get some development going. (This is subject to heavy change) The second will be the bulk of the story I explained above, and the last...is just one really long epilogue.
DA LAWS
Ah, everyone's favorite thing about...everything. Rules, rules and what was that? More rules. I'm not going to really state out the regular ship of the mill laws that everyone knows, a majority of you are experienced I'd hope. But there are some laws that due to the nature of this roleplay need to be told.
DA LAWS
Personally, I've had success with this idea in the past, and other times it's gone unused. It's more of a later thing that gets used, that I will tend to flesh out more. The free quest idea, is more of a make your own mini stories for others to follow. Basically you may telegram me with a application posted below. If I accept it, it will be posted here for someone, or many to take up and play through your story. It can range from fighting pirate scums, to finding lost worlds and discovering buried secrets in a ancient tomb.
