Forums » Looking for RP » Neon Age: Near-future sci-fi/cyberpunk c (closed)

This Looking For RP topic is marked as closed, meaning it is no longer seeking new players.

The group is young and I'm new to hosting an entire continuity but if you enjoy sci-fi and cyberpunk with a dash of fantasy join me on this adventure to god knows where. Even if you don't currently have a character that fits the community feel free to join as your player account and take a look around until you create one.

Summary
Neon Age is classified as sci-fi/cyberpunk but has a few grains of fantasy sprinkled on in the form of aether. It takes place in future New York City which has grown into an even bigger sprawling mega-metropolis. Genetic engineering and experimentation has been legalized resulting in animal-human hybrids of various content, synthetics such as androids are commonplace, the black market thrives and best of all - trans-dimensional aliens!

Please Note:
- This community is Adult Only. It is entirely possible there will be subject matter in roleplay not appropriate to those under 18.

- This is a paragraph to multi-paragraph community. Posts of both quality and quantity are desired.

- The group is in ALPHA meaning it's extremely new and there will be kinks, things are subject to change based on user feedback.
I'm unsure if I'll actually join, since I'm still kinda sorting out what I'd doing, but I wanted to go ahead and ask if some of my characters might fit in, with or without alteration, such as Jackson, Nyn, and Taryn. Maybe Loki, maybe Kyra. *shrugs*

Mostly trying to get a better idea of the sorts of characters desired, I suppose. I did read through some of the info, but it seems a little vague at this point, especially with the other-dimensional stuff.
I'd be interested. You said we could use aliens in this rp right?

No problem! It's brand spanking new so the only way to fill in the holes is to open it up to queries like yours.

Jackson - He'd need to appear/be at least 18 to satisfy the Adult Only requirement, but otherwise he'd be fine as some sort of trans-dimensional alien thing.

Nyn - Also must satisfy the 18+ requirement, but otherwise fine.

Taryn - Age thing again, but she could be adjusted to be a human mage which would mean she wouldn't be magical in the sense we usually mean when we say that, but could use aether to achieve similar things. Alternatively a trans-dimensional.

Loki - Probably could be altered to be a panther hybrid since 'demons' in the biblical heaven/hell good/evil sense doesn't exist in Neon Age

Kyra - Her appearance could be explained by body modification and/or genetic alteration on her parents' part. Alternatively, from another dimension.

Sorry about the the age thing, but it's an AO community and I want to make sure everything is kosher and appropriate and I'm just not comfortable with underage characters being played, even if the players are adults.

Now to clarify some things - trans-dimensionals are meant to be a little more open-ended and flexible. Actual magic is still not permitted but if you can manage to put some kind of sciency spin or explanation on a character and its abilities, even if it's flim-flammy like Star Trek, you should be good. Just making an effort to explain it as scientific rather than magic is appreciated. This category of character is meant to allow more oddball characters be played without outright allowing supernaturals like werewolves, vampires, mythical beasts etc which I don't feel have a place.

So then Aliens are okay to be used. How many characters can we use?

Yep, either from another dimension or legit from space, although the latter is not mentioned in the continuity info. Officially Earth is not aware of any extra-terrestrials hanging out in the solar system/galaxy but it would be silly to deny extra-terrestrials when we've got inter-dimensional folk creeping around. I just ask that you don't use any canon alien species (that includes Klingon, Na'vi, Time Lords, Ood, etc) because those all exist as fiction in the Neon Age universe.

Right now I have no limitations on how many characters you can roleplay. However many you can handle, I suppose. There isn't even a restriction on how many simultaneous RPs a character can be in.
Ok, i nthat case, could I use Jaqulynn as one of my characters? She's on the Willow family profile and I have a sci-fi version of her that's not an Elf, but a very advanced robot made predominantly of self replicating nanites.
I derped on the age thing with Nyn, but it'd be easy enough to have an older version of her. Jackson is old, just looks young; on that, does the character have to both be and look passable as 18+, or is simply being over 18 regardless of looks enough? Heh, but then, I guess it might partly kill the point if a character still looked underage, huh?

And thanks for the other info. :)

Robo's a gogo.

(Yes, you could totally use Jaqulynn.)

That's a little bit of a grey area. I'd really prefer appearance to meet 18+ standards just for everyone's overall comfort level :P
Aright. I'll go ahead and apply with her. Could I possibly use Condolette and Saraxx as well?

Yep, both would be trans-dimensionals though. In case you haven't got there in the reading yet cause it is pretty TL;DR, hybrids (which are pejoratively called mutts) and trans-dimensionals are pretty oppressed, especially the super non-human ones. The less human you look the worse you're treated.
aight
