Hey, everyone. It's been a while since I've logged into any forums, because my RL suddenly got very intense and just would not give me a lull. Now, I'm finally facing some free time on my hands and would like to get back to the roleplaying. So, here's the list. I have had a whole influx of just tiny clips, bare bones, simple drafts of the ideas, yet I believe them enough to cast a line and wait for something to bite the bait deep in our phantasy.
If you'd rather write something more smut-driven, then look here.
Genres and Themes: sci-fi, survival, exploration of the unknown, alien worlds, aliens, maybe horror elements.
World Setting: These three plots are all set within my own, original Terran Imperium setting. It is NOT the WH40k one. To cut the very long story short, humanity has fought the WW3, but managed to stop before the total annihilation, and banded together to recover their planet and restore the civilisation. Eventually, that post-war society has conquered the Sol system, discovered the hyperdrive technology, and now, around 2370, is actively exploring and colonizing the nearest stars of our Spiral Arm, having come in contact with the aliens, both primitives and another Tier II competitiors, with the primitives either left untouched or becoming the client species of the more advanced political entitites. I've a huge information file with the lore of TI world, a complitaion work that I and my co-authors have written on the setting over the last decade. I'll make a post in the world building section, filling it with the info over time, but if you want to know something specific, don't hesitate to ask me.
Space-y adventures drafts:
FTL travel for the Terran Imperium is the navigation of the hyperspace, which exists right next to our own, kind of like the next layer of an onion being peeled, and it is speculated that there could be even deeper layers... Anyhow, it basically is a sort of a version of our own time-space continuum, but the space aspect of it is much smaller, and the largest concentrations of mass there are in our space - the stars - serve as the stable entry and exit points, allowing us to be able to fly from one to another in the matter of days and weeks instead of many centuries. Humanity managed to detect its existence one day and learnt to use it for interstellar travel, with the hyperdrives opening the windows into what is basically a rapid transit system for us.
1)
A Terran charter ship is in flight into the unknown. The mission is very simple on the surface - to find the new star systems to settle in the sector which is free of the alien competition. Yet this one, the offical story, is merely the tertiary objective. The primary and the secondary ones... Well, they're classified, but it's enough to say that all of them are requiring the uncharted systems getting scouted thoroughly. Anyhow, our ship hyperlaunched into an uncharted system where an old star was. She is still light years away from Terra and the closest settled worlds, so, to the crew's surprise, they find the rarest of the things happening out there - that star collapses in on itself and a black hole is born.
And when it is born, it is basically a gravitational anomaly spawned, so all the laws of physics within its proximity are going to shit. Entering the hyperspace within its extended gravity well is dangerous for many reasons, but how is the crew is supposed to know that? That would be the first black hole next to which a human ship had decelerated. Having recorded all there was possibly to observe, the captain gives the order to leave the system and to go to the next star in the most promising list, and upon the hyperlaunch, it is discovered that it is dangerous beyond any measure, and the ship not just gets flung fuck knows where, but is also thoroughly damaged, and most of the crew members receive severe, if not the fatal wounds.
The survival of the crew becomes the top priority for the shipboard AI and she drops out of the hyperspace the moment she detects a viable deceleration option - a star system with many planets, taking a huge chance, because the hyperdrive won't fire again until it gets repaired, but it can't run infinitely either and she has no idea where they're going. The only way to learn that is to drop out into the common time and space and scan the surroundings, but upon doing so, it is found out that the instruments aboard are heavily wrecked, so she can't orient the ship toward the Terran Imperium space. So she just flies about the system, scanning worlds and looking for the resources to fix the ship enough to figure where they are, in the very least. The situation is worsened by the fact that literally every system aboard has suffered one way or another, and before worrying about the spectrometers and pulsar detectors to do some astrogation, the AI has to worry about getting the life support back fully operational - lest the humans in her care suffocate in two days...
2)
Basically, it could be described as a variation on the previous one, yet it is different in the approach and the setting somewhat. The crew comes to their senses after having crash landed on an uninhabited world... Or maybe it's inhabited, who knows? They can't properly remember what in Hell has happened, they can't remember where they are and how they got here. They have to explore around them, to survive, and to fix their ship's AI. The first priority is to get some answers before even trying to make their ship airborne again...
3)
Is different from the previous two, and is entirely a get stuck scenario. In the middle of the XXI century there was development on cloning technology that aimed to take a full body and brain scan of a person and digitize it, then reconstruct everything to make an exact copy of the person (kind of like the transporters in star trek do, but much more drawn out, taking weeks to build the new body while it floats in a tube). Basically, it was a research to try and immortalize the humanity. The project was nearly shut down over the ethical concerns, but kept running until the World War 3 hit. Despite all the efforts of the united humanity to restore the pre-War technologies, some of them are lost to the dark times that came after the nuclear armageddon. In the time the story is taking place, late XXIV century, most of that tech is already surpassed, but the rouge corporations are always trying to get an edge over the competition (and maybe even the government) and when they get tired of looking for that edge among the stars, they sometimes turn their eyes to the areas of Terra that are still rabid wilderness, left unotuched with the post-war development, because the mankind reached for the stars.
And the cloning lab was in a bunker in such an area, and some of the subject scans were kept intact in an archive, despite the lab itself being wrecked significantly. Now, the scientists of the rogue corp get their hands on this data and try to build clones of these ancient people. Some of them fail and die on the spot because the data is corrupted, but for the few individuals who succeed it feels to them as if one day they went into a lab for a scan, took a sedative and went into a trance while the scan takes place, and when they woke up they were on another planet, surrounded by weird technology, as if abducted by aliens. And everything could also be falling apart and on fire because the lab is on a spaceship that was attacked by pirates or something, all the researchers are dead, and it's just the ship's AI guiding them.
Genres and Themes: Post-Apocalyptia, Survival, Horror elements maybe (again)
World Setting: This is set in our contemporary world, the one we live in, maybe a bit more in the future (just if we want to get some neat tech tricks if we feel they're badly necessary). I still have no idea how the world has ended. I don't know were that an alien harvesting raid, with just a few people left to breed for the next several million years for them to eat later. Or maybe it was an asteroid strike, or maybe a pandemic, or maybe a zombie apocalypse. I don't know. But I don't want to go overboard either. *shrugs* We'll have to figure this one out together.

The world has ended. I don't know how, but it did. I did not see it in my imagination. I just saw that there are basically just a few people left on the planet of the modern day. Common people, like us, who know each other, but are nowhere near heroes that we usualy write about in our epic tales. Maybe it was a meeting of a random storytelling forum members, you know. The single goal that stands before them in their first year of life in a new world - survive. It's mid June in European Russia, and it's bloody hot around. And they need to decide - whether they try to take their chances and winter where they are, and that would take one road of preparations, or they choose to move to the places with the milder climate, where they won't at least have to worry about the colds nine months of a year, and plan a long trip ahead, maybe several years long, which is an entirely different preparation plan. I've no idea how this story ends eventually, truth be told. Maybe they do find a way to leave the dying planet, or maybe they manage to make it long enough to see it starting to repair herself and bundle together with other survivors to rekindle the civilization?
RP Goals: For the entirety of the plots listed here, the goals are similar. I want to take a group of people coming from a very civilized world, from a healthy society, and dump them into a critical situation. Civilisation is gone, society is gone. They need to do all they can to even see the new dawn. There's no time to sit scrolling through Instagram anymore, because there's none left. The survival being a lone wolf is going to be nigh impossible - too many skills are needed for that, and there's hardly such a versatile human that can effectively grow crops, tend to the cattle, heal wounds and cure disease, fight and tinker with the machinery to build the generators. And even if there's one - there'll be no time enough in a day to do all that. So, the people will have to band together and contribute their best skills to the mutual survival. However, in the situations like these, people tend to show their true selves. Shit stars coming out of the most righteous persons, and the last creep suddenly acts heroic when everyone else had their balls lost. I want to explore not just the nitty gritty survival per se, although I'm quite interested in that aspect, but I want to see the emotional development of the characters - every feeling, every sensation would be worth a thousand of those in the world that was before...
Technical RP Details:
I'd rather do it on the forums here, please and thank you. Now, my RL is still highly complicated, but at least its somewhat less non-linear now, so I hope I could be able to post at least two-three times a week a good, quality, lengthy post, but the muse is the muse - you can't force to spit out novel length posts every time either.
Now, I'd like the RP to be more story-driven than smut-driven, but I'm not going to shy away from sexual scenes, violence, gore, dark themes, provided that they all fit in the narrative, and we're not having a series of rape scenes clipped together, so to speak. My personal opinion is that the adult themes are there to decorate the story and give it depth, and not to be the only, self-gratifying, aspect of it.
On the length topic, I'd rather have a long-term one, but I understand if you want to try it with me at first, checking if we'd click, aiming for a shorter story, with hopes that it would grow into something spectacular eventually. I believe that these plots can be drawn out without much loss of the interest in them over the several years span of collaborative writing, so here's hope.
Finally, I also do believe that all the four offered plots are a good potential for a group RP, but something makes me hesitate. However, if you think that it's the case as well - then let me know, maybe after the discussion we'll move the advert into the proper section to see if more writers bite the bait.
Partners: I absolutely do not care who I'm playing with if they meet two requests: you have to be literate, so I could get what you mean when you write posts or talk to me, and you have to respect my boundaries and private life.
Kinks: These are all open up for discussion. When you PM me, we'll talk about what we want to be in the RP, and we'll see if we can arrive to the middle ground that would satisfy us both. Yet most likely hard off's will stay a strict no-no, mind you.
===============
So, if you've reached this part, I salute you, and welcome you to PM me a request to try this out, if you so desire. Remember, this is just a draft, and most of the things could be altered a little, if you think it would suit us better. I'm open for a discussion, really.
Love, V.
