It is fairly far in the future, in a world of technology and magic. Space travel and living is a common thing, as are associated technologies. For those starting the roleplay from the beginning, you’re in a shuttle taking you from Gaia, our homeworld, to the IOS – the International Orbital Station. You’ve recently finished contracts/jobs or whatever it is you do upon the planet and now you’re headed spaceward. You know you’re going to be called for duties at some time when you’re upon the station but you hope there’s time to meet each other and spend any money you might have. Those joining later I’ll slot you in however, if you’re quick then you’re already aboard the station.

I’ll act to set out the situation, partially narrate and provide you with what you need. I’ll also mediate any disagreements. You guys are both part of the story and the tellers of it, through your characters. I’ll do my best not to force you into any situations unnecessarily but I will throw challenges your way. Feel free to try to strike it out alone (good luck!) or as a party (much cooler!).

Your character is based on a set of skills that define what he/she is good at a series of traits and flaws that add to your character. Take a read before you make anything and message/chat with me if you’re confused.

You’re predominantly human but feel free to add a typical fantasy class in (Elves, Dwarves, Halflings, etc.) but know that they don’t come with any racial bonuses – that what your traits are for.

CS:
Name:
Basic Stats: (Height, Weight, @ge…)
Specialisation skill:
Major Skills:
Minor Skills:
Traits:
Flaws:
Background story: (optional.)

Skills:
You’re able to choose 1 specialisation that you are exceptional in, 2 major skills that you are have greater than average ability in and 3 minor skills that you have average ability in. Everything else you are less than able in.

Magic IS a skill, and each single skill in magic has to be summed up in one word. List it like “Magic:Force”. This magic skill will cover all magic you can relate directly to that word. I will mediate if this gets out of hand. You are not deities.

Examples of magic:

Magic:Life – covers healing, animating objects, stimulating growth. (Animation requires constant focus of the user, so limits you. You’d have to take something that deals with controlling spirits to create that which doesn’t need your constant focus, but life gives you complete control.)
Magic: Energy – covers restoring stamina to tired people, charging batteries, controlling lightning, etc.
Magic: Earth – covers all natural minerals, dirt, etc. Allows for their manipulation, travelling through the earth, and manipulating metal. Specialisation could involve being able to transmute your flesh into stone and such.
Magic: Machines – covers manipulating hardware, though software is a different matter. You can also create machines adeptly.
Magic: Beasts – covers interacting with animals, sharing senses with them (possession at specialisation level only), and transforming/partially transforming into them (ie, turning into a bat, or just gaining claws for a while).

Non-Magical Skills:

Feel free to suggest others in your Bio, if you can justify it I’ll accept it.
Craft: Specify what sort of crafting skill it is – Weaponry (specify further if you could), Robotics, Augmentations, etc.
Missile Combat: Ranged combat and maintaining ranged weapons.
Melee Combat: Melee combat and maintaining Melee weapons.
Stealth: You possess the abilities associated with remaining quiet and unnoticed.
Fear/Charm: You can intimidate or charm to try to get what you want.
Durability: The ability to take more hits than anyone else.
Wayfarer: The ability to pilot things, universal across vehicles for the sake of ease.
Perception: You’re able to spot things at a further distance and see that which is hidden more easily.
Communications: You’re able to interpret languages, better break ciphers/codes and have proficiency in hacking.
Deception: You’re able to hide things from others, be it smuggling information or contraband.
Survival: You have an innate knowledge of how to use your surroundings to stay alive. At specialisation level you could pretty much be dropped into the Andes with naught and prosper.
Guile: You have some skill in breaking into places, sleight of hand, pickpocketing and distraction.
Tracking: You can follow clues to trace people or creatures, be it physical clues or following a paper trail.
Vitality: You can last for longer without food, etc or mentally and physically exert yourself for longer.
Agility: You can fall from greater heights, leap further, and run faster. You aren’t stronger but you know how to use your body.

You can pick 3 Traits without taking any flaws. If you want more than 3 flaws you have to balance each one you add (over 3) with a flaw. You can take traits and flaws more than once - just specify something different for each one.

Traits:

Talented: extra minor non magical skill.
Magically adept: extra minor magical skill.
Wealthy: self explanatory, state how you get your cashflow though and if it’s one bulk or a smaller but steady stream.
Lucky: Acts of chance just seem to go your way.
Magically potent: Make a minor magic skill a major one.
Practised: Make a non magic skill a major one.
Unique Gear – You have one piece of gear either performs greater than it’s equivalents or has unusual functions – message me your ideas and I’ll approve them.
Contacts: You know people, specify – black market/smugglers/mercenaries. One only.
Fame: The people know of you.
Resistant: Choose something to have increased resistance to (Not ‘magic’), poisons, radiation, etc.
Striking: Intimidating OR charming is easier for you; eg. Photogenic (Charm) or Scarred appearance (Fear).

Flaws:

Addiction: Choose one thing, you compulsively do this.
Bugbear: There’s this one thing you hate above everything else. Could be anything, even a class of people; though prepare for the consequences.
Cursed: Acts of chance really don’t like you.
Untalented: Opposite of Talented.
Magically Inadept: Opposite of Magically Adept.
Magically Impotent: Opposite of Magically Potent.
Unskilled: Opposite of Practiced.
Infamy: The people hate you.
Weakness: Choose something to be weak to, like Resistance.
Enemy: You’ve got someone(s) on your back for something you did in your past.
Debt: You owe a significant amount of money to a group of people.

(TO CLARIFY:

If you took 4 traits, as an example, you only need take 1 flaw. You get 3 traits free of charge, the others you have pay for with flaws. You can take all traits and flaws multiple times if you like - effects stacking or giving you a range of different (for example) addictions)

Something has come up and I will be gone for 5 or 6 days. But if you manage to get this started, I'd be happy to join even if it's at a later date.

You know what the CS is missing? a Bio section, so we could at least describe what our characters do for a living.

(Alright, I've got 2 people (KarasuRaven and TywanDestru), they've PMed me their bio but it would be great if you could post it too - PM me if you just want it looking over before you post it, that's what I've done with these two.)

(For those looking to even out the party, we currently have an adaptable and infamous psy-soldier; and a flexible 'Beasts' mage who is at one with nature but technology escapes her.)

(I'll start up when I next log in and there's 4+ people ready and happy. More is quite alright, I just want a minimum. See you all later.)

(Yep, Magic: Software, sound good? You'd probably be limited by needing a point of access to whatever you're trying to manipulate with it but that's fine.)
