The Alliance-Hierarchy War (OOC)
« on: June 16, 2005, 10:12:44 am »
Ok, then. This is the OOC thread for The Alliance-Hierarchy War. Post character information here with these details:

Name:
Age:
Race:
Height:
Weight:
Appearance:
History:
Personality:

Now, in the RPG thread you are to only use races from the the A-H war. Alliance Races: Human, Chenjesu, Mmrnmhrm, Arilou, Yehat, Shofixti, Syreen.

The rpg starts when the humans join the war in 2116 (according to Hayes in Star Control II). So at that time I believe the VUX aren't Battle Thralls so the available Hierarchy races at the time when the humans join the war are: Illwrath, Spathi, Umgah, Androsynth and the Thraddash. But the Thraddash weren't in the war so we may have to leave those guys out. The Mycon don't join the Hierarchy until five years later so no Mycon until then. EDIT1: The Kzer-Za are an option. They are the ones who started the Hierarchy. So when I say what Hierarchy races are available I am just talking about what battle thralls are available. In my mind when I say Hierarchy I automatically include Kzer-Za in its definition. So sorry for anyone you read this and thought "Oh my GOSH! No Ur-Quan!?"

EDIT2: Remember, you have an alliance race character and a hierarchy race character but that is the limit.

Also no Utwig, Supox, Slylandro, Zoq-Fot-Pik or Orz. I'm not sure about Pkunk, because I don't know when they broke off from the Yehat. I hope I'm not throwing you off with that but I want to keep it around the Alliance and Hierarchy.

How this going to be played is one year per thread, but this will always be the OOC thread for the entire series. I want this story to last a long time. Each thread will be like a book with in the tens range of pages, I'm hoping for fifteen or twenty minimum. But if we feel the need too we will include multiple years in one thread.

And make sure your posts are usually several paragraphs long, preferably three, but if you can only use two paragraphs or even to sufficiently tell your part of the story, then that's ok.

Also if you find words in your post to be repetitive, go here: Merrian-Webster or here: DictionaryLink

Now that I have thrown all that stuff at you I will post my character.

Name: Ensign Elden Dakota
Age: Sixteen
Race: Human
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 135 lbs.
Appearance: Has dark brown hair and bright blue eyes. He wears standard military uniform which is basically a grey shirt underneath a blue jacket with rank displayed in stars on the collar and sleeves. Has dark blue pants with even darker blue boots. Has a boyish face and his hair is messy with longer tresses of it falling down in his face.
History: After the human race joined the war, major drafts were going on. Dakota was one of the few to join the military willingly. He excelled in piloting skills and was able to push a simple earthling cruiser to beyond its limits. He was stationed aboard the S.C.S. Venture as the helmsman, under command of Commander Ron Hamilton. Currently the Venture is patrolling space near Illwrath and Chenjesu territory, helping where needed.
Personality: He keeps a calm face and posture at all times and is a good leader. Otherwise he has his hands in his pockets and a smug look. His humor is mostly invested in sarcasm, showing his cocky side. But he isn't without faults. He has a hard time keeping his anger under control in certain situations.

I will start things off in the thread in just a sec. Here is the first thread: Click

There, I posted the first post. Remember, your character doens't have to be where mine is, he/she could be somewhere else like near the borders of Androsynth space.

Now you notice that I already established some npc's. Any of you could play the NPC's and make them your own personal character but discuss that with the creator of the npc's. If you don't intend to use the npc's as your character but just want to have the npc's interact with your own, fine.

NPC's established: Commander Ron Hamilton, Takata, Lieutenant Reno Delaho.

Keep in mind, this isn't the busiest forum ever; replies can easily take several days. ;)

I'm interested, by the way. I'll be thinking about a character idea, and might have something in a few days.

Also, not that this is a particularly good or bad thing, but your RP reminds me of the more structured RPs I play at other forums.

The Alliance-Hierarchy War

That's something I made to get people hyped. But the problem is I can only put in this much. I'm no expert when it comes to 3d stuff, but I was wanting a ship to go in or out of the wormhole. Even better I wanted a human on one side and then an Illwrath on the other in very realistic detail.

I can't do that stuff, so if anybody wants to add on to this go right ahead.

To fluffy_banana: Great! But why does it take you a few days to think of a character?

And about the more structured rpg thing, I take it as a good thing.  ;D :P 8)

Because 1) I'm somewhat busy with other things and 2) I want to make a good, creative character with a lot of thought put into it.

Don't look at me! ;) I've got no knowledge of 3D drawing programs.

Not sure how your image represents the war, but a well-drawn image, nonetheless; let me guess, some Adobe Photoshop work?

Yep. It's Adobe Photoshop work.  ;D

I was trying to imagine what a Star Control hyperspace wormhole would look like, so I made themouth of it. I am going to work on the tunnel next.

But yeah, I made the wormhole then I startyed to add things in like the blue nebula's in the background and then just for the heck of it I put the Star Control logo in there.

But like I said I wanted an Illwrath on the right and a human on the left to make it represent the war more. And maybe a ship could be coming out of the wormhole (Illwrath or Ur-Quan) and a terran cruiser facing the enemy.

So what do you hve so far on the character?

Hmm I think it could be interesting, I'm in.   8)

Trying to decide between Mmrnmhrm and Umgah, good or evil...  ;D

So far, you haven't had any humor in the RP; would it be alright for me to add some? (I was thinkng of a kind of silly-ish Ilwrath character). I'd just like to know, before I write my first post, because it could vary dramatically depending.

EDIT: Typo.

EDIT2: I just noticed this:

I think you missed Thraddash, Druuge, and Melnorme in that list. And, although it's rather obvious, the Ur-Quan Kohr-Ah.

Well, I thought that one part where Takata laughs at Eldan was kind of humorous.

Go ahead, but don't make them too drastically silly. I want to keep this closer to a serious feel, but go right ahead with humor.

Naturally, I´m going to participate.. But to my shock I realize, that while you allow the full selection of Alliance racesm including the Chenjesu, the Hierarchy lacks a quite important race, the one that I was going to choose, by the way:
The Kzer-Za.
The Controversial Subject lives on.

I only stated what battle thralls you could use. I did not say you couldn't use Ur-Quan. If I had not wanted you too I would of said so. When I refer to the hierarchy that includes Kzer-Za Ur-Quan. So go right ahead.

EDIT: There I put in an extra thing up there.

EDIT2: Why is everyone choosing bad guys?  :P You guys can choose a good race and a bad rce if you want too. I'm going to add another thing up there.  :P

The Ilwrath are evil, certainly, but with the Ur-Quan it's hard to say. Sure, they enslave people, but they think they're doing the right thing for the universe. Good and evil are only a perception.
