And future me is going to go up to me and slap me across the face for the idea I'm about to pitch, but while I'm still senseless enough to be serious about the idea.



It's a sci-fi University/Academy role-play. I highlight the "University/Academy" part for you if you aren't trying to hold your gag reflex at the phrase because you haven't read it. If you've been taught that Academy role-players are the lowest form of animal on the planet, you're free to click the back button right now because I don't have a clue how to convince you any other way and I'm fine with that.

But if your dignity is feeling a bit bankrupt today and you want to pitch in on this made-up-on-the-spot project that I toss out every once in a while, you're free to. Even though you probably won't. But it's a nice thought.


The plot is simple enough. It's the average sci-fi future, humanity colonizes, there's war, conflict, etc. Humanity gets its crap together long enough to put humanity and its colonies under a single flag, WHEN SUDDENLY, generic cookie-cutter CGI aliens come to invade the Terran solar systems and start to tear up the place because they're evil alien bad guys and that's what they do in every sci-fi B-Movie.

The war drags on to the point where every graduate of high school has to enroll in the Terran Navy Academy in order to get a scholarship in anything. This makes sure that the Navy always has a steady supply of recruits for them to use. The Navy Academy on Earth is the largest of the Naval academies, which drafts 5 million recruits per annum to the Navy for the mandatory 4 years of service. Academy students learn everything from operating and calibrating a warship's cannon to piloting a fighter to outmanoeuvre a field of space junk while trying to shoot down an alien fighter in a simulation.

There's going to be no schedule like the rest of the academy RPs, since everyone is probably going to atrophy it from the Role-play 3 pages in and it would be impractical considering that every student is going to have a schedule based on their specialities (Fighter combat, warship command, medical, logistics, etc)

If there's a part 2 to the role-play, and if nobody's abandoned ship by the end of the first thread, there might be another one where the graduates start their service in the field and go to somewhere like Jupiter to shoot down alien baddies and come out alive because the authors' God protection on the protagonists prevents any kind of permanent harm on their characters if it's not to build plot.




If this seems like a really bad idea from a far-away distance, slap me in the face. If anything else, you are always free to add some kind of modding to what I have written down.

Lol. Tip: Make sure no one is ubering, which is common among Sci-Fi Roleplays.

"Make sure no one is ubering"

But that's the same for every kind of role-play.

"Is their anatomy "compatible" with ours?"

No idea - Let's make it that way since no one's got any other concept and that's usually the image that we get of the stereotypical xeno-freak.

Is that referring to a person that's not being serious in the thread, or just someone that doesn't know that he/she's godmodding with no actual bad intent?

If it's in the beginning where no battles are currently happening then he/she is not being serious, because if he/she would have read what other people were doing, and would have read the rules, etc. Then he/she would know, yet he did not. But if it's like "I walk out of school and find an alien disguised, and shoot and kill him even though he shot me and it did nothing" then maybe he/she doesn't know they're godmodding and maybe you should explain that isn't happening until a certain time.

I like the idea, though it oddly reminds me of Star Trek...-shrug- Anyways I prefer ground-warfare more then naval combat, but I might join in.

Then we'll give him/her a tap on the shoulder so that they'll understand. If it gets worse, we might try a little bit of remediation before we ignore their posts, if it gets to that point.

I actually thought of it as a generic over-the-top sci-fi Saturday morning anime, but that's just my view.
