FT Roleplaying Center
I'd like to do an RP sometime in the near future. But there's hardly anything for FT players. I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking this. So I've decided to create this thread as a place for FT players to submit ideas for an RP or just state what types of RP's they'd be interested in joining. Other FT players can then contact those players via a telegraph or here on this forum and set up the RP. In short, this thread should serve as a notice board for players looking to find other players to RP with.
Some Instructions
As it is known, there are many types of FT nations. Below there is a list of FT Roleplayers and they are categorized according to the Kardashev Scale. Below the List is a form for you to fill out to add your name to the list. Feel free to TG any of the players on this list for RP purposes.
Kardashev Scale
The Kardashev Scale is based on how much energy a civilization can harness.
A Type I civilization—also called a planetary civilization—can use and store all of the energy available on its planet. If your nation wanted to, could it organize and maintain a civilization that encompasses an entire planet?
A Type II civilization—also called a stellar civilization—can harness the total energy of its planet's parent star (the most popular hypothetical concept being the Dyson sphere—a device which would encompass the entire star and transfer its energy to the planet(s)). If your nation wanted to, could it organize and maintain a civilization that encompasses your entire solar system?
A Type III civilization—also called a galactic civilization—can control energy on the scale of its entire host galaxy. If your nation wanted to, could it organize and maintain a civilization on a galactic scale and no less?
Type IV's are Universal, Type V's are Multiversal.
Important: The main goal of using the Kardashev scale is to allow players to see how large and energy intensive their fellow RPers are, so that they can make more informed decisions when deciding who to RP with. Note: The Kardashev Scale is a measure of how much energy a civilization uses. It's a good measure for knowing if you're going up against a galactic empire or an early space age nation that is just barely colonizing its own solar system. It's not a good measure for being able to know how powerful another nation is.
If you are in between types, categorize yourself on what your nation's capabilities are and what it could do, with current resources available. For Example: if YN controls half a galaxy, but could not conceivably colonize, occupy and maintain control over the entire galaxy without expanding resource and tax income, YN is type II. If YN controls half the galaxy but has a large stockpile of resources, tons of energy, and a military that is capable of taking over the whole galaxy and maintaining order on a galactic scale, it is a type III. Categorize on current capabilities.
The following is a list of RP categories I've come up (feel free to suggest your own, and I'll add them if they're general enough).

If you don't fill the proposed RP idea, please resort to sending a telegram to the player you wish to discuss any ideas with.
It's time we FT players had some of our own role-plays to take part in as well.
Thanks again, NS!
Note: I want to RP, so I’ll definitely be looking at any proposals that are made.
FT RPers Guide
In this guide, is a list of all FT players wishing to RP, feel free to TG them if you're interested in an RP with them.
Kardashev 1 & Below
Nation Name RP Type RP Idea Other Notes The Hell Legions Economic, War, Politics, Exploration, Diplomacy, Dispute We are willing to arm and train any nation fighting tyranny, for an incredibly low cost. FT/FanT. We happen to be the afterlife. We're not such a bad place though, we're dedicated to democracy and progress, and have an exceptionally happy, educated, and free population. We have dimensional travel. We prefer travel via Einstein-Rosen bridges. And anything involving us is bound to get weird in some fashion. Feel free to TG me with questions, I don't bite! Also, I have over 6 years of roleplay experience on other sites. I'm prepared for long-running, serious, not particularly fast-moving RPs, where each post might well be a page from a novel. FTL Communications. Dimensional Travel. Camila I The Conservancy War, Exploration, Diplomacy, Dispute (Non-violent) The state of the Camilan civilization varies greatly depending on the in-universe date. However, regardless of the specifics, the Camilan race is always ideologically disunified, and their destructive intraspecific conflicts severely hinder their advancement as a species. These conflicts often make for good inciting incidents, but in turn they make the Camilan civilization relatively weak when compared to the majority of other FT nations. Anyone wishing to do a war thread should keep this imbalance in mind.I do not consider all the threads I've written in to take place in the same order they were written, nor to affect a single, contiguous timeline. Any point along (or outside) the established timeline is a viable starting point for a new thread. Navigable Hyperspace FTL. The exact rules are described in the factbook. Olimpiada Anything A highly industrialized and crowded democracy filled with xenophobes and rampant corporatism. Imperialism is common just as an effort to get people off their planets. For humans, the nation is very free, with all of the advantages and disadvantages that accompany that. For non-humans, the nation is a good place to be deported from since that means one wasn't killed. In roleplaying, I strive to use technology with a basis in reality, and as such pay attention to issues such as waste heat, acceleration gravity, sublight travel time, et cetera. However, I don't have anything against people who don't choose to do so, provided they aren't godmodding. As stated above, I'm interested in basically any sort of thread one might propose to me, the site's been slow lately. However, war thread after war thread has gotten sort of monotonous, and open conflict doesn't interest me much unless the premise or strategic situation is somehow unique. Instantaneous but wildly inefficient transport, instantaneous quantum entanglement link communications FTL.

Nation Name RP Type RP Idea Other Notes Luxcentra Economic, War, Marriage, Politics, Dispute I want to either trade with you, or be invaded. FT Ecumenopolis. FTL Communications available. FTL travel, not so much. Military built for defensive purposes. A primary center for innovation and enterprise, on a planet-wide city speeding around a little orange star in just 160 days. Part of a triple system with the orange dwarf, a red dwarf, and a black hole with approximately 100 solar masses. Gudmund Economic, War, Marriage, Politics, Dispute Democratic Empire, solar system+, heavily monitored borders, very obscure/secretive to outsiders, apathetic but fair, low population & birth rates, essentially alien dark elves, genetic & cybernetic enhancements, rare mutant abominations, mostly droid/robot workforce, very practical, anti-religion, very close community, no alien species immigration. Travel and communications + nigh-instant travel with giant warp gate structures Great Aletia (Limited Availability) Diplomatic, Exploration, War My Crown Prince does need a wife... The Aletian Empire is a federalist absolute monarchy located in the Aletian cluster, a star cluster located a few thousand light years from the Milky Way. The fleet which settled it was originally bound for the Delta Quadrant, but ran into an anomaly on the way that sent it far off course. With no way to get back, the colonists settled down, eventually forming the Aletian Republic, which reformed into the Aletian Empire to better defend itself and its people and purge the government of corruption (Think of a Napoleon or Augustus style revolution which forms an "empire for the people" to replace a "decadent" republic) 90 years before the present. The Aletian cluster is connected to the Milky Way by a wormhole, which was recently discovered by the Crown Prince, Vice Admiral Theodore Nicolaides. The colony is underdeveloped despite significant investment, as the wormhole is small and unstable. Travel can take some time and most ships can't enter it, a fact which has led some Imperial councilors to worry for the Crown Prince's safety. Still, the Emperor believes that learning to rule the colony will better prepare his son for the throne and that the Empire needs a figure of his stature to represent it in the Milky Way, so the situation is unlikely to change. Plans are currently underway to construct a series of energy generators around the wormhole on both sides to stabilise it and allow larger ships to enter. Diarcesia Economic, War (Defensive), Marriage, Politics, Exploration, Diplomacy, Dispute The Pixel War: Diarcesia under the leadership of Monarchess Nady of Staur defeated an invasion of the Pixels, earning her the epithet Pixel-Slayer. Time period: Unknown, only established fact is that it started and ended during Nady's reign, which is between 2217 and 2272. A political entity that endured since the 9th Century by maintaining a delicate balance between tradition and innovation, Diarcesia is a Monarchy (in its own fashion) that experienced an explosion of technological and economic advancements in the latter half of the 21st Century. Nowadays, it expands via colonization and confederation, but if invaded, it tends to keep its gains at the invader's expense. Actual KardashevType varies: I (22nd Century), II (23nd Century), III (c. 8th Millennium). FTL Travel. Free Transhumanists Economic, Politics, Exploration, Diplomacy Highly industrialized nation, main planet is on surface unhabitable - toxic, heavy metal (industrial) pollution. Overall nation permanently controlls territory of 4 solar systems. Other solar systems are temporary colonized until resources are completely drained. Government itself has often chaotic and unpredictable behavior in international environment. Economy is highly cartelized and monopolized (cartels are subsidized and their economic behavior is very aggressive). Corruption, clientelism and elitism is common. However nation is also very socially progressive, multicultural, protects basic human rights, supports immigration, has considerably developed public education system etc. Khalyan Jump Drive - instant interstellar jump, but it takes some time for the core to recharge and to calculate jump coordinates. I use NS stats. I'm not a native speaker.

Nation Name RP Type RP Idea Other Notes Reich of the New World Order Economic, War, Politics, Dispute Maybe a war or dispute RP about us stealing corpses from graves or funding terrorists. The RNWO is a totalitarian democracy that hides in the shadows and mostly uses proxy nations or organizations to sow chaos for the Archons amusement. It is extremely tehnology advanced and it uses that tehnology to mess with other nations, create all sorts of weird objects and generally be a major nuisance to everyone, it dose occasionally send freedom packages to other nations which can include weapons, tehnology or be completely empty with a note saying they got air. I dont usually RP and im not a fan of very serious roleplays. Hiachijan Anything Not primarily FT, I'll admit, but a setting on an experimental planet where numerous races are planted and sent back to the medieval age to interact with one another. FT elements involved with original empires observing from space or their technology landing and being worshipped as "godly artifacts." Anatomically-weird society who just wanna traverse the cosmos and spread some music. Divided among different nations that usually work together in a united spacefaring effort. Our ships aren't the strongest, but they're pretty speedy. I mentioned this before, but I hate overtly-serious RP's. I appreciate it when a bit of satire is permitted, and I'll happily participate in settings that are generally nonsensical in their entirety. Don't get me wrong, though. I like well-made worldbuilding and in-depth descriptions to the functionality. Will happily accept advice and TG's. FTL quantum-entanglement comms and fast hyperdrive travel available, convenient intergalactic warp travel is possible but expensive.

Nation Name RP Type RP Idea Other Notes Multiversal Venn-Copard Exploration, War, Diplomacy If the expression "Outside Context Problem" rings any bells - there's always room for even the biggest and baddest FT nations around to find themselves thrown into a situation far beyond what they've come to expect. A similarly stupidly powerful multiversal nation, however, might find something nice in, say, cooperating with the VCMR on an exploration project or assisting in a large-scale defense mission. The VCMR is a two-species polity of multiversal conquerors-turned-interventionists; after expanding to fill up practically all occupied space in their multiverse cluster of origin, they are only now beginning to slowly leak out and make connections throughout the greater omniverse. They are known for staying relatively unaugmented despite their exceptionally advanced technology, for their violent reactions to domineering cosmic entities or "gods", and for a singleminded focus on the supremacy of mass deployment of weaponry. There's definitely some desire to throw around the real weight of a multiversal superpower on my end, though obviously since other FT nations aren't of the necessary scale, I'll have to figure out some kind of compromise, for sure. FTL - of several varieties - plus interuniversal travel, plus FTLi hardening. Scinan Any Any kind of first contact scenario is a real blast, but the meat and gristle of a good Scinan story really revolves around trying to capture and contrast their essential alienness against more conventional nations and cultures, especially to the point that other cultures conflict with them despite their good intentions. One particular hook is that Scinan, in adopting corporate personhood, also extended the right of personal incorporation, which leads to a situation in which the overwhelming majority of companies and their employees are owned by one another to varying degrees...effectively a bizarre, complex form of mutualistic slavery that might seem ethically abhorrent to any outsider from a more conventional culture, including those of other slavers. A well-intentioned nation might try liberating some of Scinan's personnel, only to find themselves embroiled in a far more politically and economically complicated situation than they anticipated. More than a nation, Scinan sees itself as an ideal. And this is more than a matter of poetry...the Department of Government Services is essentially run by a vast system of administrative automation systems with an emergent synthetic intellect informed by the aggregate of it's constituency. People vote with their thoughts, actions and social media posts, shaping the mind of the state to the will of it's employees...and visa versa in a frighteningly efficient feedback loop.
To prevent stagnation, they constantly seek contact with new cultures and life-forms, seeking inspiration and new paradigm-shattering thought patterns to uplift and incorporate.
A bit like the Borg, if the Borg really valued your individual input to the point of being able to assign a dollar value to your opinion. Scinan really can work well in any venue at any tech level, being more concerned about cultural and developmental matters than the raw power of their technology per se. They are comprised of a wide variety of subsidiary/client cultures at various levels of development, and of the few laws they have most govern their interactions and uplift processes with new nations they encounter. Not all subsidiaries are as cooperative within Scinan as others, and GS itself normally only intervenes if something threatens infrastructure or public works, leaving local matters to be settled locally. Scinan employs a variety of transportation technologies depending on the distances and timescales involved. All vessels are equipped with chronospacial folding drives which are used both as a backup FTL unit and multifunction weapon suite.
