Age of Expansion (FT/Race creation/OOC/OPEN)

[Alliir]

Welcome to Age of Expansion! After quite a while to hone my roleplaying and OPing abilities, I have not created a roleplay as successful as Galactic Civilizations. With that in mind, I've decided to create a third roleplay within that world, this time following the basic idea of GalCon; Endless possibilities. You can choose what to do, what the universe around you becomes. Instead of forcing a major plot device or restricting the world, I will allow the players to do what they wish. If this means going to war, or creating an alliance, or going through endless First Contacts, then so be it.
And so, here we go. If this fails, then Galactic Conquest will have been a single, impossible jewel. If it succeeds, then I'll be rather happy.

Gameplay
What I will likely call AE, confusingly, is a roleplay based on freedom. You create a race of your own, however you'd like (Within acceptable limits). You can then expand, either through alliance or through war. Or neither, if you want to be perfectly neutral. You can develop the culture, technology and personality of your species. You could focus on internal issues, or you could work more on relations with the other players. In the end, it's your choice what to do with your race. And this seems to be the reason why this type of roleplay does well.


Rules
No godmodding. As always, don't godmod. It's especially risky with this style of roleplay, where the trust is in the players.
Max size for ships will be 4KM. This is somewhat a branch of the Godmodding rule, but it should be noted.
Don't create ridiculously coincidental/mood-killing scenes. This include, but is not limited to, stumbling in on a first-encounter.
Don't flame/troll/bully. Though I dislike using the term Bully, I find it necessary in some cases.
Do not argue within the OOC. If you must, take it to Telegram.
My word is law. Though you're free to question it, I have the last say in the matter.
Make you're application interesting. I don't want to accept it because it follows rules, I want to accept it because it will make a good addition to the roleplay.
And universal-translators are aloud, but not necessary.
No one-liners. This was edited in when I found it necessary.


Unnecessary but rather interesting LORE, which have no hold on the roleplay itself, aside from allowing for references. And interest.

The Three, a name that is now legend. An alliance formed, and held, through not only war, but also disease and famine. Built from three races, each varying greatly and seemingly opposites; The brutish, reptilian Gret; The aquatic, shark-like Dicarians; and the intelligent, cat-like Nek'ar. Their power only grew for many years, but over time, they began to rely too much on each other. When the Nek'ar contracted an incurable disease, the Dicarians crumbled along side them. With the Dicarian military no longer there to accompany the Gret, outlying forces quickly moved in. Today, the ruins of these long-dead civilizations still litter unoccupied areas of space. Although the races of old have long since disappeared, their affects are still notable throughout the inhabited galaxy.

The Age of Burning was filled with warfare. With the Gret's borders shrinking due to overpopulation in neighboring regions, and the Alliance beginning to deteriorate due to the loss of the Nek'ar, an insurrection exploded from the Red Giant of R'dev. Gretian forces ripping through fleet after fleet, ever expanding, the war grew to unexpected levels. However, the Gretian military failed, and soon were engulfed. They died off soon after.

After the fall of R'dev, and the complete destruction of The Three, races squabbled over land and culture and diplomacy. Unable to hold piece with so many different, varied voices, the galaxy fell into ruin, and a new generation began. This was the Age of Expansion. As new races evolved, regained footing, or simply left the warm atmosphere of their planets, new alliances were forged, new wars fought. However, this age has not been written. It is only beginning, and it is not my choice how it will end.

Time to create your races/nation. Time to join the interstellar club.

You may not have more then 900 fighters on any single ship.
If you wish to hack another player IC, they must agree that it's acceptable.




I believe that is all. I might post some stuff(Such as races, languages, etc) below, for later use. Hope some people join, I'll likely put up the IC when we reach 3 people. If I'm missing anything, please tell me, and I'm glad you read the entire OP.

IC

[Alliir]

Uses:
Lore development, as the story progresses.
Tracking players, races and the sort.
Listing ship designs, for reference during meetings between players.

The Leigdan military is ranked by loyalty and firepower. Thus, any military-ranked unit (Either ship class or soldier), is ranked twice.

Warman- Lowest class for firepower, ranging from lack of offensive capability to low-scale projectile weaponry.
Kavara- Lowest loyalty class. This ranges from new recruits to the less loyal of field operatives.

Warmaster- Medium firepower class. Has a high of medium energy weaponry with medium projectile weaponry. Often have a bridge crew of about three; Captain, Comms and Warrior.
Ladara- Medium loyalty class.

Warleader- High firepower class. Often have high-yield energy weapons and medium projectile weaponry. Often have a full bridge crew of five; Captain, Comms, Warrior, Engineer, First mate.
Dadara- High loyalty class, often given to those who have served for over ten years.

Warlord- Capital Class. Often fitted with high-yield energy weapons and explosive weaponry. Bridge crew can range from five to seven. There are usually only a few in existence at a time.
Savara- Given to only a select few, it is the highest honor one can receive.

Leigdan shields operate in a confusing way that humans don't understand. In short, they form a field powered by electrical energy. When a solid object touched the field, all power is diverted to the affected area(s), and used to create pressure. This makes it almost solid, thus causing a sudden stop in the projectile. Thus, solid objects are unable to pass through the shield, or even damage it. However, a burst of *Mumble* radiation will short out the electrical field, allowing solids to pass through. Thus, a ship can not damage a shielded ship without both energy weapons and projectile weapons.

*Players may submit additions to this post, and they will be sorted via race/nation.*

Race

Name: Human
Appearance- Tall humans (2.1-2.6 meters), with visible mounts for cybernetics.
Male: Taller and better muscled then natural human men.
Female: See above.
Classification:(Bird, reptile, mammal) mammal
Average lifespan: Limited only by access to medical technology. Though the legion is only 450 years old, with the oldest citizens being in the mid 500's. Average across the Legion is 382.6 years.
General personality traits:(Brutish, cold, logical, etc) Logical, very willing to use force.
General habitat: Class M
Egg or live birth: Live
Diet: Omnivorous, carbon based
Other: The Chrome Legion is a space fairing sect of Humans that has focused on augmenting them selves to be the best they think they can be, they are stronger faster and smarter than almost all natural species. A rather new appearance on the galactic scene, they are known for being a very direct people, not much for manners. They have limited neural networking capacities, enough to make them seem telepathic, though only among themselves after implantation. They're preferred weapons are matter-antimatter missiles, jacketed positron-electron beams, and hybrid magnetic particle cannons, though for light weapons and point defense they use rapid nadion effect beams (phasers). Though in controlled circumstances they are functionally immortally, conditions are rarely so ideal. They strongly believe in personal freedoms and the right of a individuals self determination.

Nation

Name: Chrome Legion
Current leader(s): The Triumvirate; Allison Triumphus, Marcus Triumphus, Nguyen Triumphus.
Notable figures: There are a set of "queens" that have highly advanced command and control implants, other than that I'm sure some will emerge during the course of the RP
Notable ships: Will introduce with pictures and tech specs as they are used.
Culture: Very high focus on personal achievement and freedoms, though lacking a law like the "Prime Directive" they tend to avoid contact with technologically inferior species. They are driven almost maniacally to try to advance their technology and learn all the secrets of the Universe. (think a more militaristic Star Fleet)
History: After the eugenics wars on Earth, a small group of cybernectially modified Humans discovered the "Shock-Point" drive, which after comprehensive studies of an area allows instantanius transit to the location, though it is fairly easy to block at the destination. After that they left earth with 42,857 people and migrated to a class M planet on the other side of the galaxy, 20,000 ly from the galactic core in the Cygnus arm. Then they started to grow, the Legion now consists of 48 full member systems, 123 territories and outposts, and 212 billion citizens.

Eventually, obedience was coded into the embrion's genes, and nyang was no longer needed. The embrion empire expanded through the stars, enslaving everyone they encountered. They continue to expand today.

I'm not a huge fan of using humans, I'll admit, but I'll allow it.
EDIT: Reading this made me remember, Humans didn't exist in this area of space. Would you mind adding, or editing, to have had them ARRIVE years back, and just now begin expansion? That would be very helpful.
EDIT, again: Continuing to read, you did just that. Good work!

Interesting and accepted. I'm going to begin on my race for this "Age", since my old and loyal Gret died out. I think I'm going to use an edited version of my K'ria, from my newest book. That is, the newest book ATTEMPT. So, expect Insectoids, and very arrogant ones at that.
For reference, the unedited K'ria were so arrogant, they literally started a genocidal war. Because they could. And they won, no less. Of course, I feel like going into diplomacy, so I'll be toning this down.
AAANYWAYS, Lots of tags. Very nice. Hope they all become apps.

I'll likely be editing this once I'm a bit more awake, but this is the general idea. If anybody was interested.

Name: Leigda (Layg-da)
Appearance-
Male: Middle-aged male
Female: Middle-aged female
Classification:Insectoid
Average lifespan: 60 years.
General personality traits: Arrogant. Extremely so.
General habitat: High humidity, high oxygen levels, and rather warm.
Egg or live birth: Live birth.
Diet: Mainly carnivorous, though they are capable of digesting small nuts and berries.
Other: They were the top of the food chain on their planet, and the only sentient species. Due to this, they have grown to be arrogant, almost to the point of pure hostility. This should be noted.

Name: Ventri
Appearance- Average five feet, black exoskeleton, large ovoid heads. Ventri have no eyes or ears, but instead a single sensory organ mounted just above the mouth which produces and receives low frequency radio waves.
Male/ Female: Males and females are visibly indistinguishable.
Classification: Insectoid
Average lifespan: 100 years
General personality traits: Social and cooperative within their own society, but rigid and unable to adapt to change.
General habitat: A dark, hot environment, Carbon Monoxide atmosphere, lots of open space.
Egg or live birth: Egg.
Diet: Mostly different types of fungus.
Other: Ventri cannot see or hear. They sense their surroundings by generating radio waves which bounce off object. They communicate by modulating the frequency of these waves. As a result the Ventri will struggle to communicate with other races since they not only cannot understand their methods of communication, but cannot even recognize it as speech.

Name: Ventrus League
Current leader(s): Grand Mediator Pa'hkar
Notable figures: To be added as necessary.
Notable ships: To be added as necessary
Culture: The Ventri are extremely social and cooperative with one another. They have a strong sense of community and a belief in equality. Although there is a leader who speaks for the nation, all real governing responsibilities belong to the people. Every Ventri community makes decisions for itself through direct voting elects representatives to the Governing Committee to deal with matters of national importance.

Despite their peaceful coexistence with each other, the Ventri have little regard for other species. Having not yet encountered another civilization, they believe that they are the only intelligent lifeforms in the universe and that they alone are entitled to rule over it.

History: The Ventrus League came into existence 3000 years ago on a small island during the planet's bronze age. Through a combination of diplomacy and conquest (although mostly diplomacy in recent years) it expanded to cover the entire planet and has now begun to colonize space.
Capital Planet: Ventrus
Religion: The Ventri worship a deity known as the Queen (or the King, the term is gender-neutral in their language). The Queen is the spiritual embodiment of their inter-connectivity, essentially a collective soul for the species.

Name: Thyrians
Appearance- The Thyrians are, simply put, humanoids in the form of plants. Their systems have faint resemblances to humans in structure, but are composed of plant cells and fibers in their entirety. They gain a main portion of their energy from sunlight in the form of photosynthesis (mostly while asleep, thus it is best for them to rest in a place with open lighting), but also require physical sustenance as well. They have "hair" in the form of long leaves that can be trimmed as well as grown out, and their colorations can range from green, red, blue, and even pink for some.
Male:
Thyrian Male
Female:
Female Thyrian
Thyrian with a flower on her head.

Note that none of them wear savage cloths anymore, they are a fairly advanced species.
Classification: Plant
Average lifespan: 100-120 years, due to their biology.
General personality traits: Formerly violent and territorial, but are now culturally and scientifically focused and reasonably friendly, due to a cultural renaissance of sorts currently happening among them.
General habitat: Typically lightly humid and vegetated environments are where they are most comfortable, along with areas with a large amount of sunlight. However, some have thrived in arid regions.
Egg or live birth: Live birth.
Diet: Solely carnivorous. (What, being herbivorous would be cannibalistic )
Other: Have thinner "bone" structures and more flexible muscle tissue than most races, thus making them more agile and incredibly lithe. However, this makes their bodies slightly weaker to force though, as in the can't withstand as much physical trauma as other races.

Nation app will be up soonish.

I'll be honest, I'm uncertain whether this is a troll or not. I don't mean this in a rude manner, but you did sort of put very little work into it.

First off, you forgot a race sheet.
Secondly, it has no originality. You even used HAL.
And also, I very much dislike sentient robots. But the more in-depth ones are aloud.
Finally, for the religion, you said "Cybernetic Christianity but WITHOUT JESUS", which basically isn't at all Christianity. And sounds extremely offensive.

Thus, you are not accepted. Fix everything above, and I'll rethink my decision, but I doubt you will.

Not the most original idea, but acceptable. Although what did you mean by "Can meld into blades"? I take it you didn't mean their arms can turn into swords.

[Anacove states]

sorry not blades but have you seen the mantis arms its kind of like that. Its an evolutionary trait that allows regular hands when in normal states but when threatened or about to attack they "unroll" and are sharp. Like our adrenaline, only, more dangerous. Also is this forumn the IC or OOC.

Welcome to Age of Expansion! After quite a while to hone my roleplaying and OPing abilities, I have not created a roleplay as successful as Galactic Civilizations. With that in mind, I've decided to create a third roleplay within that world, this time following the basic idea of GalCon; Endless possibilities. You can choose what to do, what the universe around you becomes. Instead of forcing a major plot device or restricting the world, I will allow the players to do what they wish. If this means going to war, or creating an alliance, or going through endless First Contacts, then so be it.
And so, here we go. If this fails, then Galactic Conquest will have been a single, impossible jewel. If it succeeds, then I'll be rather happy.

Gameplay
What I will likely call AE, confusingly, is a roleplay based on freedom. You create a race of your own, however you'd like (Within acceptable limits). You can then expand, either through alliance or through war. Or neither, if you want to be perfectly neutral. You can develop the culture, technology and personality of your species. You could focus on internal issues, or you could work more on relations with the other players. In the end, it's your choice what to do with your race. And this seems to be the reason why this type of roleplay does well.


Rules
No godmodding. As always, don't godmod. It's especially risky with this style of roleplay, where the trust is in the players.
Max size for ships will be 4KM. This is somewhat a branch of the Godmodding rule, but it should be noted.
Don't create ridiculously coincidental/mood-killing scenes. This include, but is not limited to, stumbling in on a first-encounter.
Don't flame/troll/bully. Though I dislike using the term Bully, I find it necessary in some cases.
Do not argue within the OOC. If you must, take it to Telegram.
My word is law. Though you're free to question it, I have the last say in the matter.
Make you're application interesting. I don't want to accept it because it follows rules, I want to accept it because it will make a good addition to the roleplay.
And universal-translators are aloud, but not necessary.


Unnecessary but rather interesting LORE, which have no hold on the roleplay itself, aside from allowing for references. And interest.

The Three, a name that is now legend. An alliance formed, and held, through not only war, but also disease and famine. Built from three races, each varying greatly and seemingly opposites; The brutish, reptilian Gret; The aquatic, shark-like Dicarians; and the intelligent, cat-like Nek'ar. Their power only grew for many years, but over time, they began to rely too much on each other. When the Nek'ar contracted an incurable disease, the Dicarians crumbled along side them. With the Dicarian military no longer there to accompany the Gret, outlying forces quickly moved in. Today, the ruins of these long-dead civilizations still litter unoccupied areas of space. Although the races of old have long since disappeared, their affects are still notable throughout the inhabited galaxy.

The Age of Burning was filled with warfare. With the Gret's borders shrinking due to overpopulation in neighboring regions, and the Alliance beginning to deteriorate due to the loss of the Nek'ar, an insurrection exploded from the Red Giant of R'dev. Gretian forces ripping through fleet after fleet, ever expanding, the war grew to unexpected levels. However, the Gretian military failed, and soon were engulfed. They died off soon after.

After the fall of R'dev, and the complete destruction of The Three, races squabbled over land and culture and diplomacy. Unable to hold piece with so many different, varied voices, the galaxy fell into ruin, and a new generation began. This was the Age of Expansion. As new races evolved, regained footing, or simply left the warm atmosphere of their planets, new alliances were forged, new wars fought. However, this age has not been written. It is only beginning, and it is not my choice how it will end.

Time to create your races/nation. Time to join the interstellar club.
