Sci-fi RP Brainstorming thread

[Ceannairceach]

Just tossing this out there -

If we DO end up doing something REMOTELY like a War for Independence RP, I have dibbs on both naming my character Mal and on dubbing the rebel forces Browncoats.

No arguments.

While I have nothing against you naming your character Mal, I am against naming the entire rebel forces Browncoats. I have nothing against a certain unit lead by that guy being called that, though.

For the name of the rebel force, can we come up with something original? Or at least a bit more subtle?

The White Hats. I've always wanted to introduce hacker terminology into stories.

Sounds a bit contrived, don't you think?
Why not just Sons of Anarchy? Seems to fit their probable upbringing on the world.

[Bone Fort]

Maybe "Hellions"? Certainly be how their enemies would see them.

Well, if they view themselves as the good guys, then it'd be a fitting comparison. A darker but still good sect could even be the Grey Hats.

Sons of Anarchy? I like that show. Dislike the idea for a name, though.

[Bone Fort]

Yeah, the name probably shouldn't be something that sounds malevolent, they want to when the hearts of the people, no terrorize them. Plus it would be to easy for the enemy to demonize them with a name like that.

Or just something like The Independents, with different fighting groups under its wing.

The Indies. It reminds me of those who live on the moon in Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, who refer to themselves as the Loonies.

[Nua Corda]

If you guys are interested in a rebellion/resistance/gurrillas vs. Empire type thing, I'm cooking up a megaOP for one. And, odly enough, the good guys DO have brown on their base duty uniform coats.

[Volmachtia]

So what'll be the name of the planet?

Something like that could work since most would think them insane for fighting this government. I guess they'd be a couple of Daft Punks.

[Ceannairceach]

So what'll be the name of the planet?

New Paris.
Pocahontas XI.
Sable.
Firefly.
S-7.

Each with a setup for how to name other planets, should they be referenced.

I kinda like Sable. I kinda have a few other ideas.

Sable came to me about using color terms in heraldry to name planets. Sable. Argent. Pearl. Etc.

I think Baxter is the best, maybe Sable is a habitable moon.

I agree. Baxter is a great name.

Why does it sound familiar, though? Is there a sitcom character with the name Baxter?

Iunno. Maybe it just sounds Firefly-ish.

[Bone Fort]

Why not name it Bob? Or Steve? Maybe even Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen?

[Volmachtia]

Name your character that. And your militia Webenjagermanjensen's Jaegers.

[Ceannairceach]

Dooooo eeeeet.

[Bone Fort]

... Why didn't I think of that?

I'm doing it, if only for the reaction it'll cause.

wasn't that the rabbit from the arthur cartoons? that's all I can remember.

also, vote for name goes to F*CK YOU NASA, named by a couple of incredibly drunk ametuer astronomers one unfortunate night.

Yes it was Baxter.

And if F*CK YOU NASA doesn't make it as the name, it could be a famous landmark where they spelled it out on the surface large enough to be seen from space.

[Escalan Corps-Star Island]

Name the planet Angiriol II. It's one of the Interior Collective worlds in the Alkirienid Galaxy.

[Volmachtia]

What?

[Bone Fort]

I think the planet name should be some sort of subtle joke, maybe a hidden meaning.
