The Great Divide: Character profiles

The Great Divide: Main thread

Welcome to The ‘Great Divide.’
This group rp is still being fleshed out, so pardon the mess.
More will be be added as more interest is garnered to areas pertaining to world building.
Basically this is an interest check and/or character creation page.

Plot

The plot would revolve around a small crew of male soldiers from the planet Adamros who are on a quest to gather intel on the female enemy thread and to make an assessment on their numbers and offensive capabilities. During their deployment something malfunctions, causing the ship to crash down on the planet. Now what will happen to this small band of soldiers. Will their technology and wits prove to be their salvation? Or will the impressive strength of the females and their numbers seal their fate. Perhaps the savage and feral creatures on this world go out of control, forcing both man and women to fight alongside once more.

Lore

World War 3- The event which spurred humankind's movement into space exploration or Great Migration , the survivors of world war 3 became the earliest space-aged settlers, their postcessors would go on to colonize planets Adamros and Everlias respectively.

The Great Divide- An event which marked the socially recognized divorce of men and women as a species. As a result of the Great Devide, men and women no longer lie together or co-habitate. It is believed the Great Devide was caused by or at least influenced by the following; The Great Space Migration, Disagreements over authority and vision(men wanted to colonize Adamros as a suitable home planet and wanted to suistain the old ways, whereas women were partial to Everlias VI and take on a more basic lifestyle, closer to nature.) women outnumbering men as much 2-to-1, world war 3 which claimed humankinds ancestral planet Earth and last but not least pervading gender biases.

Everlias VI:The planet that womankind settled following the great divide , though abundant in lush fauna and natural resources , it is a harsh unforgiving pre-historic world full of untapped mystical energies and hostile threats. Nicknamed as Eve. Ideal fantasy setting.

Adamros :The planet that mankind settled following the great divide, abundant in rare precious metals and abandoned alien technology though lacking in natural resources and mana. Mostly barren wastelands. The ideal science fiction world. Nicknamed as Adam.

Race

Human beings no longer divide themselves by things like nationality and ethnic appearance , instead they choose to divide based on sex. Since the 21st century, there has been some noticeable racial differences between the genders. It is believe their interactions with their respective environments has caused these differences.

Women

On average women are now

  • +Stronger and faster.
    +Natural warriors.
    +Capable of utilizing what some would call ‘magic’.
    +Larger population.
    +Longer natural lifespan.

    -More aggressive than their 21 century counterparts
    -Technology wise in the dark ages.


Reproductive: When the females broke apart from the males they realized the need for offspring. Hundreds of hours were spend on their new planet, tinkering with magic and the arcane arts. Finally they found a way to combine two of their kind and to create new life within one. In time their numbers started to swell, the use of magic nearly endless.


Men

On average men are now

  • +More Creative & Adaptive.
    +Better Communicators.
    +Advance technology.
    +Better Co-ordinated.
    +Capable of utilizing 70% of brain's processing potential. Unlocking latent telekinetic power.

    - Less physically aggressive personality wise.
    - Lacking day to day struggle.


    Reproductive: Due to the lack of females in their midst the men turned towards scientific means. As their numbers began to dwindle and the fear of extinction became near truth, a breakthrough was made. A scientist created a machine that would be later hailed as ‘the birthing chamber’. With this device mankind finally had the means to sustain its numbers, although at a lower count than before.
 
RE: The Great Divide: Searching for players!

LOL the redshirts are always dying. XD

I wonder what would happen if I tried one on. *Ponders*
 
RE: The Great Divide: Searching for players!

Ask Lance... sounds like a scientific question.

I'll post some more invites and will see you guys tomorrow.
 
RE: The Great Divide: Searching for players!

Ok see you tomorrow... And Ill try landing the ship without anyone dying
 
RE: The Great Divide: Searching for players!

Ok later hopefully this will take off it has great potential.
 
RE: The Great Divide: Searching for players!

Alright, another new recruit. Lets se

Three males. One Bi, One gay, One straight.
Two females. One bi. One TBD

Any suggestions on where we draw the line?

Or did some of you want to double up?
 
RE: The Great Divide: Searching for players!

I can only play one character... But I can ask someone else for joining this... Do we need to fill all the roles so that we can start the rp?
 
RE: The Great Divide: Searching for players!

We have vacant spots (mostly in the female department) but I think we have just enough to start this off. I created a main thread and posted a link to this on the front page.
Three rooms have so far been described, yet feel free to make up your own room or surrounding.

Let’s have a few posts of character development before our ‘ace’ fucks things up.
 
RE: The Great Divide: Searching for players!

Yeah yeah always blame the pilot.

And I hae asked around if someone wants to join, but Im waiting for response
 
RE: The Great Divide: Searching for players!

Hehehe, nicky kept his word. I heard you need a weapons specialist? Someone to bring the boom? Yeah, well I think you mighta found your guy. Hehehe, I also hear I make a mean technician..... hint hint.
 
RE: The Great Divide: Searching for players!

:D Glad to see you here rezerwing... Dont be mean to my guy when he crashes the ship. Lol
 
RE: The Great Divide: Searching for players!

“Deep sigh.”

So we have a trigger happy weapon specialist, an ace pilot who crashes a billion credit ship and a very unstable and unethical doctor.

“Looks at Altair”

Phhss.. good luck.


OOC: Glad you dropped by Razorwing. Just create your character and post him in the character thread. Now we only need a few more females to even the numbers, unless more males are bi.

The main thread is up. HAVE FUN!
 
RE: The Great Divide: Searching for players!

okay do not forget my girl who is a War mistress haha she is going to be fun to play snickers. She has a very bad temper .
 
RE: The Great Divide: Searching for players!

Um hey guy's some help... How should I strat my first post, should my guy be piloting the ship or maybe the ship is on autopilot and my character took a break in his room?

You can decide all you want. I prefer if we use a few posts to flesh out or characters. Get to know the other crew better. Then the fun begins.

Same rules apply for the female warriors. Don’t hesitate to make an introductory post. Where is her village located. Is she hunting when the crash happens, etc.
 
RE: The Great Divide: Searching for players!

okay i posted and its all about what Sarah's mansion looks like and little bit about how she runs her crew i hope you like it Flassche
 
RE: The Great Divide: Searching for players!

I don't want to make this game even more male focused than it already is... But, the idea is too interesting to pass up so I would like to try to grab the second weapon specialist spot.

Since Razerwing has the boom on lockdown, I think I'll go more of the sniper route if its alright with you guys.
 
RE: The Great Divide: Searching for players!

Hmmm… tempting.. tempting.

If no one objects I’d say welcome to the crew. Although chances are we all die in a crash-landing.

For all the straight males in the rp, make sure you pm an available female for the rp. That and spread the word. We need some more strong females and natural predators.


Thoughts on a possible lizard like creature as Npc enemies?
 
RE: The Great Divide: Searching for players!

Alright, Thanks a lot :D, oh and my character sheet is up and running!

If we all die in the crash then we are all screwed I think lol.

The idea of lizard creatures as our first major enemy seems proper to me.
 
Alright.

"Slams hammer and looks menacing."

All male slots are now taken. I have listed each character's sexuality behind their names.
As we can see we have a shortage in female characters. I’d appreciate it if we all spread the word and shamelessly sta….. Ask people nicely to join us.

Seeing as we now have three heavy combat duty guys and I have yet to receive negative feedback to the lizard folk idea, I will GM from time to time and add in enemies to hunt.

Make sure that you make a few posts in the main thread before we crash land this thing, hard!

Possible dialog between our esteemed captain and his trusty ace pilot.

I like the lizard people idea. I want to test my characters abilities and leadership skills.

The dialogue was hilarious I wanna make it happen the posts between the captain and out esteemed ace might have to be short and very close though. I don't know I guess we'll figure something out.
