Read it again, because it's a snappy sentence on why it completely violates the Avali, and since it's an extension of what I've been writing for them this entire time, it applies to the rest of what I wrote too!It's not even that big of a deal. Basically, what he said was that there probably are some splinter groups of avali who decided to settle down for one reason or another. Most other Avali and even other races probably won't pay them much mind.

Fine. I'll go fuck off for another hour or three until I figure out a way to fix this.

I can't believe that some Avali hadn't broken off from the main society and settled down with other races decades ago, or made more permanent settlements in some cases, especially with how spread-out their packs are. I don't get how a single ruler can run such a scattered people. Whoa, whoa, whoa, stop right there, mister. How about a compromise? I can see some Avali following this Aii person, so why not make that a separate faction of Avali? I agree with Shaad's point that some number wouldn't follow them, but that doesn't mean you have to scrap the idea altogether.

Of course it fits in a way I didn't see. I'm just... going to write the introductory background for the Hylotl. RE: Nexus "Serious" RP Revival Discussion - SilverOtter - 10-21-2015 As you can tell, each playable faction has an internal conflict to deal with, and an explaination of how it effects your character. If I don't give one to a faction, they cannot be used for PC backstory. Heads up: This includes the Kineptics, who will need to choose a faction other than their native homeworlds. Also, yes, most races have most of the other factions avaliable as a alternate backstory, not just the Orion Alliance. This means you can have a human in the Hylotl Empire or something. The Hylotlian Empire: No mind can match the Hylotl. There are no greater schools, no better strategies, no stricter labs, no universal knowledge above your people. You stand on the shoulders of giants, whose work have brought the common sapient out of ignorance. What other achievement is there beyond understanding, in this universe? But each answer today leads only to more questions, or a dead end that shakes the laboratories to their core. And as the other species return to questions of philosophy or other unproven areas of thought, you must decide for yourself the purpose of your solitary faith in the strict laws of science. The Hylotlian Empire are neither easy nor hard to play. They have amazing technology with heavy drawbacks, and connections to the other factions. Most Hylotl (or other races who live in their Empire, hint hint) are incredibly knowledgeable in multiple areas, and will have to ask the least questions overall. Their conflict, however, is the most involved in the overarching conflict, and is difficult question in real life, let alone science fiction. RE: Nexus "Serious" RP Revival Discussion - SilverOtter - 10-21-2015 The Kineptics: We swear our researchers are unbiased Edition The Kineptics are an intentionally isolated race, located near the center of the Dust Planes region. They claim control of only three planets, and request no outside traffic to their worlds, a request that has been honored solidly since first contact. Indeed, our own researchers had to settle with interviewees outside of their homeworlds, who are rarely seen and sparsely distributed. Kineptics have no notable technology, and no apparent designs. Indeed, the Trade Fleet, some 100 ships meant to sustain their seal from the outside, is made entirely of designs purchased from the market, although it is unknown how exactly they purchased them in the first place. Kineptics are stereotyped as carefree and happy, a race that wants nothing with the reality of the universe, and it could not be more right. The intervewees we found avoided topics of war and death, and changed the topic entirely when confronted with the purpose of their isolation. For all we know, they were here on holiday. RE: Nexus "Serious" RP Revival Discussion - Umbra - 10-21-2015 Now that you've mentioned it, it might be hard to find a faction that fits Sirius' background... Some place with its fair share of criminals but is still a decent civilian settlement thing would be preferable... By the way, I've been wondering about this as well- should Rust be a 'famous' killer in whatever area he's in? It'd kind of make sense, since the murders wouldn't go unnoticed...

It's very likely you'll go for Freespace, which fits your description, and doesn't have a factional conflict like the others, but have far more personal conflicts.

Still don't know whether or not to give Rust infamy in wherever Sirius ends up. RE: Nexus "Serious" RP Revival Discussion - SilverOtter - 10-22-2015 Note: faction explanations are an average guideline, not strict requirements. The Orion Alliance and The Republic of Terra It is a lull in the war. Both sides stand guard, watching, waiting. Civilians step out into the calm. Explorers hurry in their seek. New military technologies are being created, tested in hidden orbital labs. The temporary peace is yet another advantage. But it has been 70 years of constant war, and through the brightly colored propaganda, the carefully selected news, and the subconscious search for justification, the question now stands tall: who is right in this war, if either at all? The Alliance and The Republic play similarly but not exactly, and are easy to play. They have very little difference in technology, with only a few unique technologies in each side. On average, both have fair knowledge and don't need to ask too many questions, and Alliance races will have learned one additional language besides their native one and Common. Note that both sides have similar relationships with other factions, so your choice only effects your relationship with the other side, and your starting view on the relationship between freedom and safety. However, the Republic is primarily Humans, while the Alliance is an equal mix. Your conflict is the least involved in the galaxy and mostly concerns the two sides.

They rely heavily on it and they have technology like gimbal thrusters to let even large ships literally dodge missiles and such.

So it'll be a complete cold start for me. Hoping anyone who needs to could criticize me constructively to benefit the development of this character. And possibly another later depending.

Actually, it seems you missed most of the posts I did on their canon, but they did get buried quickly. You mention Starbound metals at multiple points. That's okay, because I've barely listed what metals we do have. This is also over the amount of information needed. You did a lot of work on it, but it's partially impenetrable. Lastly, the name doesn't fit, as Avali names are majorly vowels with patterns. Yes this is from the original canon. RE: Nexus "Serious" RP Revival Discussion - Umbra - 10-23-2015 Ooh, speaking of metals... Remember how we discussed the possibility of Sirius' sword being made of a strong material other than steel? Is there a metal that's a bronze-ish color that's still fairly strong, or is there some way to change the color of metals permanently? |
