Final Frontier | Discord
Lit Roleplay | Open

Introduction

Earth is a wasteland; Its surface no longer adorning the lush greens and beautifully hued blues it once displayed hundreds of years ago, and neither did its inhabitants live to see the day when the transformation was complete. Though one would argue that it was for the best. Scars marred the land where deep-sea trenches once were, mountains jutting but nude of its snow and vegetation that previously crowned them. The bare foundations of civilization failed the test of time, pitifully outlived by the wastes of humanity that littered areas where, in the past, a great metropolis once stood.

The humankind was destined for greatness, though it would seem they will not find them on Earth. Plagued with this realization and the notion that the planet they called home would not last them forever, humanity chose not to look at the ground and lament. Instead, they looked up, into the abyss of the night skies and found hope. Out there, they weren't limited by the dwindling resources that every nation fought to procure, nor will they chance to bicker amongst themselves because against the infinite emptiness of the universe, there were far more sinister forces at work.

This was the final frontier.

Premise

Hundreds of years of space cruising led humanity to the ends of the galaxy under the pretense that there were other planets like Earth nestled in the orbits of distant stars. Athena, an autonomous research facility that travels alongside the starship Pioneer, has recently made progress when they caught a whiff of a promising biosignature from a nearby system of star clusters as they were about to enter a field of asteroids. What was an otherwise mundane obstacle took a turn for the worse when the module responsible for deploying the ship’s forcefield malfunctions, leaving them vulnerable to the onslaught of rocky debris.

Inevitably hit by a stray asteroid, Athena splinters off from Pioneer, the craft hurtling into deep space. As a last resort, Athena locked onto the coordinates of the exoplanet dubbed as KAD-117 whilst the crew entered cryosleep and hibernated for the duration of the journey. Athena barely entered the atmosphere as it depleted the last of its fuel reserves, merely pulled by the gravity of KAD-117. With no thrust to guarantee safe landing, the craft plummeted much like how a comet would, in a blaze of fire and metal.

Features

KAD-117 is a clean slate. As such, the characters have the opportunity to label and name its various landmarks and continents as well as cataloging every alien lifeform they encounter in the wilderness.

As of now, eleven alien species have been designed by yours truly. All of which have the chance to be encountered. Though some are easier than others depending on the area.

But how will you encounter these aliens? Simply put, each roleplay post has a 35% of triggering an encounter event.

New roleplayers that have proven to be active have the chance of creating their own alien which can be encountered in the wild.

Thanks! If you've got ideas you want to see in the roleplay, feel free to suggest them!

I'm absolutely interested! I'd prefer it to be held on Discord and if you need any help Moderating/Setting the Server up and coming up with informational pages,

I'd love to help! I've helped create and moderate over 6 different RP Servers on Discord before and I'm fluent in using Discord Bots to set permissions for Roles, as well as streamlining information and creating combat/rolling systems (if they're needed at all).

@Leaux That'd be great! If we all unanimously agreed on Discord as our platform, I'll contact you ASAP. I've never made Discord roleplays so this'll be interesting. I suppose the only downside to Discord is the 2k character limit, but double and triple posting will probably fix that.

@Mumrik Thanks! Hopefully, I'll have the rp set up and running soon.

@Salamandeous

Yeah, the character limit can be stifling but I often do 2-3 posts whenever I'm in a longform RP on Discord and I don't find it too difficult to keep on top of! Just lmk if it gets decided on for Discord or not! (If it's forums, I likely wont join just bc Lioden isn't accessible to me on Mobile and I'm mobile about 50% of the time haha)

I may be interested! I like the premise, I just have some questions. What's the main plotline (has a new habitable planet been located already and a course set for it, etc)? What was the technology/medical level when Earth had to be evacuated (more advanced than 21st century, etc)? What's the time period/year/etc (how far in the future does this take place)? And, pre-wasteland Earth, was there further exploration of the other planets in the Milky War (can they live on Mars, etc) and was there contact with alien/unknown life forms (cyborgs, etc)?

@V I R G O (#129617)

1. I had two ideas on the main plotline for the rp. The first would revolve around the corruption that developed throughout the years and how the people are being neglected which results in a rebellion. Second is a group of people delegated to a research station that travels beside the main spacecraft. Due to a malfunctioning module responsible for the force field that normally deflects foreign debris, the station gets hit and splinters off. They eventually reroute to a nearby habitable planet that they previously scouted by drone. With their communications offline and tracking module destroyed, they have no choice but to survive long enough for a rescue team to come for them.

2. Humanity has advanced enough to colonize a planet or two, however, they can't sustain themselves effectively without Earth. Space tourism is a booming economy that even the middle-class can afford. Medically, there's cybernetics and cryogenics. There's more but I can't think of them at the top of my head.

3. I'd say 300 years in the future, give or take.

4. Mars and Europa were colonized but not for long. They get most of their supplies from Earth, so even if they mined the asteroids around them, they won't have enough to sustain their growing population. Also, humans were able to visit other systems aside from their own.

5. Nope. Intelligent lifeforms have not been discovered nor interacted with, but live bacteria were found in Europa which prompted the surge of demand for space travel in the first place. But that doesn't mean we won't meet one in the roleplay.

I hope I answered your questions.

You definitely did, thank you! That's a lot of cool information! I'm super interested now, and I'm good with Discord, as well. Also, I'm definitely loving the second plotline idea!

I'd definitely like to give this a whirl! New to Discord but old to rp'ing, can't be that hard to learn, right?
Surviving an unexplored planet sounds like a really cool plot, I'd definitely cast my vote for that! But I'd want to join for either plot, for sure!

@Akeyit (#172351)
Discord is very easy to get used to. There's a 2k character limit, which is roughly around 300 words. So if you're used to posting more than 300 words, you'll just have to double/triple post. But that's it. Also, expect some OOC.

I'm not overly familiar with this genre, but there's a first time for everything! The second option sounds the most promising to me, but I wouldn't mind participating in either idea. Discord probably is your best bet as far as hosting goes, but again I'm fine with whichever platform you choose.

Sups, Vesp! Long time no see. I was going to join your Scorched roleplay a week ago but found out that you closed. It was a relief that you were going to reopen in the future because it's been a long time since I had an animal roleplay. Hopefully, I'll have the server set up soon.

Hey! Aha, yeah I ended up not having as much time to spare at the time as I thought, but considering most everything else I'm in has died out I'm definitely reconsidering it! I'll let you know if I re-open, I'd certainly be glad to have you.

I just started summer break so I've got plenty of time in my hands. Might as well waste them on roleplays when I haven't joined one for the last few months except for a single 1x1. Thinking of reviving some of the old roleplays. This time I'll have to speed up the process since I feel like Riders of Ecadius would've benefited if the dragons were introduced sooner to get things up and running. Can't wait to see you in the roleplay!
