Rimworld: A Roleplay [OOC - Open Now - Interest Thread]

[Afrique Occidentale]

I'll just roam around the rimworld first before meeting with the colony, maybe for a week or so. How huge will the planet be, Xotle?

In terms of surface area, about half of that of Earth. But the planet is also denser overall, leading to a similar surface gravity. It would take about 4-5 years to walk around its entirety from the equator, compared to 11 years for Earth. Other biomes are feasible to reach within a quadrum time scale, if not in a few days.

Nice, it'll make it easy for me to mess around for a few days

Oh also, for the IC once a biome is selected I'm basically gonna load a medium-large Rimworld world of said biome and just post screenshots of your surroundings. This is so EVERYONE has an idea of where everything is. Then if you wish to edit the screenshots to include rough graphics of what you want to build/do, it will make communication simpler.

[Molarki]

Are we allowed to come from a world under the other worlds classification or be xenohumans?

Yes to the first thing and no to the second. Alien life hasn't developed sapience in the Rimworld universe.

By Xenohumans i was referring to the genetically modified humans talked about in the lore primer under biology of humans.

So I didn't get much of a chance to work on the IC today, but I'll try to get some done tonight. Should be out during the week sometime.

Can I have a pirate escaping from his sinking ship and crashing near the colonists? Don’t worry, all good tech will be destroyed in the crash, but not the FTL.

[Afrique Occidentale]

You know with 13 people deciding the biome yet 4 apps don't you think there's maybe outside interference.

FTL? There isn't any FTL in Rimworld. But as for the pirate ship thing, sure, as long as specify the world you were on before you became a pirate.

You know with 13 people deciding the biome yet 4 apps don't you think there's maybe outside interference.

Lol it could be the people who tagged, or perhaps outside interference. Either way it looks like boreal forest is winning.

Shhh let me rig the vote in peace.

Name: Patricia "Trix" DeAngelo

Age: 40

Sex: Female

Appearance: Due to a stress-free Glitterworld upbringing, she still looks incredibly young. She is fairly tall by most human's metrics and well built, due mainly to a perfectly balanced diet. Her hair is dark brown, her eyes are a light green, and she has freckles. Her skin is deeply bronzed.

Planet Name and Description: Tonto is a large glitterworld built into the remains of a large gas giant nearing in size to a brown dwarf. The gas giant is the only thing that remains in the solar system after their archotech's ascension many years ago. Working without bloodshed, the archotech built the planet on the gas giants surface and moved the solar system's citizens to it, then it assembled a massive star cruiser made of carefully arranged paperclips (themselves made of all of the remaining matter in the system, save the sun) and left the system. Since then, the people of Tonto have grown in number, but still have yet to stretch the resources of their perfectly created habitat. Everyone lives a life of exceptional leisure. There is no such thing as need and deaths (as well as births) are few and far between. While internal air-pressure and weather are carefully controlled, differences in gravity on each level has lead to a slow stratification of individuals.

Childhood Backstory: Patricia was born into a glitterworld commune and as such grew up surrounded by a perfect and supportive community, free to do as she wished and trained by the best tutors and AIs indoctrinated into the egalitarian commune. She was a bit shy when she was younger, choosing to focus more on her studies than those around her. She was taught science, medicine, and took an early interest in the extinct craft of farming and horticulture. With the assistance of her commune and their AIs she was able to convert a generally unused area into a garden, learning about the different ways plants grow as well as learning to trust those around her. As her friends and extended "family" began to take notice in her contributions to the craft, as anachronistic as it was on their planet, she began to be heralded as an artist and was thrust into the spotlight.

Adulthood Backstory: Patricia's passion for spreading the beauty and awe of plants eventually lead her to leave the commune, whereupon she shortened her name to the more artistic-sounding "Trix". She rose to minor fame in the Eco-community as a proponent for a return to a more naturalistic way of life. She preached the aesthetic value of life and as soon as she was able, began the construction of her magnum opus, a stadium-sized park. Modeled after the JoySpheres and other pleasure and leisure places, she worked closely with genetic researchers to individually create every plant that would inhabit the green-space. Upon it's completion, it was heralded planet-wide for it's great aesthetic beauty and creative use of plant life. Trix continued to manage the park closely, eventually breeding and introducing her own line of animals. Despite her constant search for new and unique ideas to bring to her park, Trix eventually came to the understanding that the perfection of her life's work was entirely dependent on her own imagination. On her home planet, where everyday tasks like cooking and cleaning were automatically completed, she would never have the vast experiences she figured she would need to create a truly perfect experience.

The idea of leaving her planet to explore the universe had been growing inside her like a seed for a long time. Eventually, it broke the surface, and she arranged to be flown to a distant rimworld planet, where she could meet new people, explore strange lands, and, hopefully, create the new experiences that would be necessary for her to finally perfect her park.

Personality: Generally friendly and outgoing, Trix can be a bit absentminded when it comes to relationships, but is usually a kind person. Typically she will put her own desires and drive ahead of those around her, but will never directly insult anyone. While in her work she has designed fantastic trees and animals down their leaf and fur pattern, respectively, she still takes great joy in the simple pleasure of plating a seed and moving some soil. She might be a bit preachy, having long ago figured out how happiness works and what life means, but has mellowed some from her teenage and young adult years. She tends to look at things simply and pragmatically, everything, even beauty, has a correct answer. Her beliefs make her more optimistic.

Reason for Arrival: She came to this planet to study the local flora and fauna and geographical features in a bid for inspiration. If she makes useful life experiences from this then that would be even better. Her pod included a beacon that would allow her to be picked back up if anything bad were to happen, but it was broken during the unexpectedly turbulent landing.

Items:

• Synthread pants
• Devilstrand button down
• Her signature black synthread Tuque
• Plasteel Knife
• Smokeleaf joints (5)
• Corn Seeds
• Cotton Seeds
• Healroot Seeds
• Strawberry Seeds
• Rice Seeds
• Daisy Seeds
• Psychoid Seeds
• Rose Seeds
• Devilstrand Spores
• Smokeleaf Seeds

Physical Ailments: None currently....

Other Details: Her time spent with the eco-community has developed a chemical interest in her, she is fascinated by the idea that plants can literally warp worldviews.

I've been on this site before, when I had a lot more free time and creativity. Honestly, I just got inspired to write Rimworld and so I returned under this nation (I forget the others). It's been hella busy IRL, but I think it will be easier to progress once I finish the god damn information post.

[G-Tech Corporation]

I'm still raring and ready to go, personally

Yeah, apologies on the delay. I'm going to stop making promises on when the IC will be up and take the CD Projekt Red approach and say it'll be ready once it's ready.

[Xotle]

Hey guys, the IC is up! Sorry for the delay, it should be noted I'm still not done the information post, but I think enough is up for the introductory IC posts to be made. I'll attempt to finish the information post on the 1st page within a reasonable time frame. But uh, no guarantees

*whistles* Cool, you should probably TG those of us that have been accepted and let them know that the IC is up.
