Title: Furry Science Fiction meets LBT
Post by: Serris on March 30, 2009, 09:57:23 PM

This idea was floating in my head for a while (since I read Time Gate X).

A scientist from the future warps back in time to capture some specimens for research but before he can finish the moonport he's based in (imagine JFK Airport with a lab in it!) is struck by a terrorist attack. He has to get out of the moonport, back to Earth and get to the bottom of a criminal conspiracy.

And yes as the subtitle hints, this is based off the rough plot outline for my second novel. See here for discussion on novel: R.A.P.T.O.R. Project Discussion (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=4510&hl=)

Erm, I should clarify that that the novel is original fiction.

Any suggestions?

Note if enough people consider joining, I may run this RP, but the chance is low as I am already dealing with 4 RPs.

I'd say complete some of the Rps you are already working on first.. then ask again.. You'd want to have as much time to do this as you can..

I'd say don't start to many rp's.  But you can use this discussion thread to have folks ask questions and get info and ideas so when you do finish 1 or more current rp's (only you know how many you can easilily handle running) then you can start this one.  


For some other folks that are interested, no idea if I'll be or not, but I do, if I notice, try to ask some questions for other folks & give them some info to start on so they can more quickly come up with char ideas to post in the discussion area or pm the gm about.  .  



Any char types you'd like to have certain areas covered, any types you don't want?  allowed races?  any magic, super powers, super martial arts?  Tech level, types of weapons and armor allowed.

This is a "realistic" SF RP. No magic. It is set in 2100. Space colonies, energy weapons, .

Weapons from the early 2000s are acceptable (and more commonplace)

Energy weapons do exist but they are expensive and more likely to be found in the hands of the military or rich civilians. And yes, I am allowing bipedal dinosaurs to manipulate objects, use firearms and modern weapons (granted they don't have to do so. Hell, they don't have to fight if they don't want to).

All dinosaurs can interact with Humans.

Any species of dinosaur is acceptable. No aliens or genetically engineered creatures.

And yes, I'm using this as a planning stage so I can start the RP when one of the other RPs is done.

Sounds like your ideas are pretty well thought out and you give a good amount of information there.

Sure! It's not started yet but you can join.

The other thing I'd like to say is that you can RP as either a Human or a dino.

Character profiles are placed here.

Dinosaurs can be start in the lab but if they are placed in the lab, they are in stasis.

Any ideas for a title?

Obviously, Humans can only start in the space station. And there are 5 factions (I'll elaborate more later):

Terrorist:  
Research facility staff:
Spaceport staff:
Civilian:
Security:

Also, keep in mind that this space station is primarily a tourism spaceport (basically an airport in space, complete with stores, resturaunts, etc) with some research facilities; thus firearms are few and far between.

Oh yeah, I'll condense all the scattered brainstorming ideas into rules when I'm done.

The other thing I'm debating is: LBT RP or non LBT RP with dinos?

Hey, Cyberlizard got it to work with Time Gate X. I'll continue thinking about it and let you all know by mid-end of this week.

I'll let others weigh in too.

Oh, yeah, it is set exclusively in the space station.

Personally, I would love to join if I was allowed to be a Vulcan. But I would still join as a human. When at least one of your RPs are finished, then you should put more focus into this one, though.

Are you sure, since Vulcans are not supposed to show emotion, but to be purely logical.  Or would you be one of the ones similar to Spock's brother who ignores that.  

(no idea why he had to be Spock's brother I rather like the version of the movie I downloaded that is an edited version where all reference is cut from that.  I like it better then the canon version personally, but that is another topic.)

Sorry, this RP is cancelled.

Reason: I did some thinking and I realized that this is so niche and single focused that it is better realized as a novel.
