Infinite Odyssey

NOTE: This RP was made by the amazing ShadowSleuth who didn't have the time to finish it. Thank you Sleuth for creating this amazing RP!

Spoiler : Premise :

Spoiler : Ships :

Spoiler : Technology :

The technology in the world of Odyssey includes the following.
· Lasers: In this time, laser technology has replaced many traditional firearms and weapons. Knifes typically come with a laser edge, though you may still find regular knives, as do swords. Typical guns are almost nonexistent, but some are kept in museums and do not function. Guns are pretty much obsolete by the game’s standards, and some may be even harmful to the mission and to yourself. Lasers are also utilized in non-combat technology, such as surgery and construction.
· Shielding: Most planets with laser technology also have shields. Shields are projected as energy rays capable of deflecting, nullifying, or absorbing damage. They must be projected from an object, such as a generator, and take the form of an object, such as a box or a sphere. Shields can be pierced, sometimes, if the shield is overloaded, or if the generator is broken. Shields typically are used for buildings or ships, but can be put into smaller devices, like armor or even a handheld weapon.
· Hover Tech: Hover technology comes in handy for moving around heavy things. Hover tech can be applied to just about anything, but like shields, they need to have a generator of some sort, and will fail if said generator is removed or destroyed. They can also be used on smaller scales, but are somewhat limited.
· Spaceships: Spaceships are the main mode of transport around the galaxy. The three main ships in Odyssey are all Adventurer-Class ships, and are rather small, made for quick transport and dropping down the crew. Other classes include Warships, the biggest form, which rarely appear and are built for war. Carriers take in smaller ships, like Merchants and Fighters and are armed heavily. Merchant ships, which are a little larger than Adventurers, carry goods around the galaxy with speed and efficiency. Fighters are sleek, compact ships used for fast maneuvering and quick combat, and are typically kept aboard Carriers or Warships, and are only deployed in combat situations. Scouts, the smallest, are made for quick, sometimes covert, missions and fast escapes. Most Ships carry up to three escape pods, with the exception of Scouts and Fighters, which are each capable of holding up to 5 people each. Typical weapons to find aboard a ship are laser blasters, ion torpedoes, seismic cannons, and beam lances for close combat. The specifics of the main ships are noted in their section.
· Warp Drives: Warp Drives are a dangerous science in Odyssey. Activating one will propel your ship almost instantaneously across the galaxy, but can be dangerous if the ship is not fully prepared. Initiating a Warp Drive involves ripping open a portal through space and time, which in of itself requires a good portion of energy; a ship should be at no less than 90% capacity to perform a successful Warp Drive. The consequences of attempting to use a Warp Drive while in a weakened state can be disastrous; crew can be lost, the ship itself can be torn apart, and in the worst instance, a ship won’t make it all the way through, and get stuck in between, trapping its crew for all of eternity to die a slow, painful death. For this reason, Warp Drives are rarely used any more than necessary; which is fine, because most adventurers prefer the ride.
· Weaponry: As stated before, most weaponry is based off of laser technology. Swords are laser-edged, and while the metal blade still exists, it is typically built with a laser edge that can be activated at will, allowing it to cut through most anything, save another laser blade. Some blades consist entirely of laser, but they are sometimes harder to wield, due to the lack of support for the laser that the blade gives. Swords are also made of an enhanced metal, which is elaborated on in the Metals section. Knives are almost identical to swords in terms of advancements, though it is much more common to see an average knife than a laser-edged blade. As stated previously, ammunition guns are now obsolete, and all firearms are laser-based. They are powered by Battery Packs that contain supercharges that create the lasers. A typical Battery can give up to 10 shots for a Pistol, though it varies. Guns typically fire lasers, but the method is different in each instance. Pistols typically fire pulses, short, quick bursts of concentrated laser energy that are capable of burning through enemies quickly. They can fire quickly, but because the energy is so concentrated, they tend to travel slightly slower than most laser projectiles and can even be dodged if you are quick enough. They tend to overheat if used too frequently; if they do, the gun becomes completely useless, even if another Battery is inserted. Rifles can hold more shots from a Battery, and their shots travel quicker, but don’t always pack the punch that Pistols do. Rifles fire once, then quickly reload, and are excellent at long-range combat. Because of this, they rarely overheat. They are the choice weapons of Marksmen. Battle Rifles are the most efficient and widely-used weapon, capable of getting the most shots out of a single Battery, and can fire rapidly as well as over long range, combining the best of both the Pistol and Rifle. However, like Pistols, they have a tendency to overheat at times. Heavy Weaponry, such as missile launchers, rocket launchers, grenade launchers, etc. still exist, with some improvements. Conventional gunpowder is now replaced with an ion bomb, which detonates quickly and has a wide blast radius. This section has gotten rather long, so if you have any more questions regarding weaponry, simply ask me or PM me.
· Metals: Many of the metal alloys used in Odyssey are made from the element “Arcadium”, a powerful metal that make up some Asteroids. The Arcadium Alloy is lightweight and durable, but at different heats, it can become rigid and impenetrable, like a diamond. Ships, buildings, and weapons alike are made from Arcadium. Arcadium is far from invincible, however. It is shown to be very weak to lasers, and tends to break down if exposed to extreme temperatures for too long.
· Healing Pods: An important device for fixing up oneself after a rigorous mission, Healing Pods are always kept on hand in ships and Alliance bases. A handy tool, Healing Pods can be found in many places, and are always good to have around. They are large machines, and one must step inside them for a period of time for the Healing Energy to restore them. The time needed to restore energy varies depending on the amount of energy expended. Be careful, though. Spending too long in a Healing Pod may cause unwanted side-effects; such as falling into a coma, or losing your hair permanently. Unfortunately, due to their size, Healing Pods remain mostly stationary, and cannot be used on a smaller scale, like shields or hover tech.
· Androids: Androids are often used as support onboard ships or in cities and planets. They can be anything from miniature service droids, to hulking Goliaths capable of erecting monuments and swatting spaceships from the sky.
· Gamma Rays: A strange, bizarre force working in the universe, Gamma Rays can occasionally be found shooting through space. Their effects are typically fatal, but odd things have been known to happen when one comes in contact with it… Provided they are not fried into ash.

(Please direct any other questions regarding technology to me.)

Spoiler : Colonies :

: Players are required to pick a colony from which their character hails. This may affect interactivity in some cases. There are five major planets colonized by humanity in Odyssey. You may be required to go to these planets in certain cases.
· Earth: Now long forgotten by humanity, only a few remember the roots of this little blue planet. Now little more than a wasteland due to the poor treatment, humanity was forced from it long ago when spacecraft technology took off. Only a handful of humans exist there now, and have little contact with the outside space. Earth colonists are extremely rare out in space, and tend to be rather naive about the way things work outside of their planet. Earth has no exports or Notable Areas.
· Vulcanas: The first of the Earth Colonies, Vulcanas is a planet based firmly on rock and steel. The Arcadium Alloy (see Metals) was initially discovered here, and became the foundation for modern starcrafts, architecture and weaponry. Ever since, Vulcanas has been a bustling enterprise for engineers and inventors. Notable Areas: The Great Furnace, a massive cauldron used to smelt Arcadium into ships, weapons, etc. Lies in the center of the city and extends several feet into the sky, and radiates a large amount of heat. Has strict security, and requires specially made armor to resist the intense heat.
· Stratos I: The second Earth Colony, it is a planet mostly based on water. Called the “Deep Blue Planet” for its vast oceans, which comprise almost the entire surface of the planet, leaving only small chains of islands to cover the planet in specks. It is also called the “Planet of Life” for its vast amount of sea life, of which only 20% have been discovered. The human colony exists above the ocean, suspended on a large floating “continent” that hovers half a mile above the water, made entirely of steel. When neccesary, the continent can submerge and hide beneath the waves, though this is a slow process. Its main export is soldiers, who often are trained in the Grand Sea to be fierce and independent fighters. It also provides a large amount of seafood, such as the always delectable “Seven-Hearted Eel” and the hard to catch but easy to chew “Spider Jellyfish”. Due to a series of feuds over the years, the people of Stratos I have come to despise their brother colony, Stratos II. There have been multiple squabbles between the colonies, but they have stayed mostly miniscule due to the watchful eye of the Alliance. Notable areas: The Grand Sea, the large ocean that engulfs almost the entire planet. Many excursions have been made into it, some ending disastrously, and almost always something new is found on each dive. Entering the sea without any form of support is almost certain death.
· Stratos II: The third Earth Colony, it is a planet based around a jungle teeming with life. It is said that if you drop a crumb of food into the jungle, you will find a new undiscovered species. The colony itself consists of a large green dome over the center, which branches out via large transport tubes to smaller domed cities. Because of the large amount of plants and wildlife, Stratos II is a mass producer of food products, such as their signature “Wildfish Fillet” and “Druvaba Fruit”, as well as exotic plants and even pets. (You too can own a Red-Tailed Davian!) Due to a series of feuds in the past, they get along poorly with colonists from Stratos I. Notable Areas: The Jungle, a widespread landmass that covers a half of the planet. Contains a large amount of plant and wildlife, making it ideal for hunting and gathering. However, it is quite dangerous and it is ill advised to enter it unprotected.
· Nagasia: The fourth Earth Colony. A bustling planet that is a hotspot for technology and socialization. Sometimes referred to as the “Useless Planet” by others, due to its lack of exports. Though there is much technology in use there, moreso than any other Colony, almost none of it originated there. The planet itself is mostly a concrete jungle, with little wildlife or ocean. It relies almost entirely on the exports of other colonies, and is often mocked for its uselessness. However, Nagasia has produced several experienced inventors and innovators, and the place is considered a “training ground” for the technologically inclined. Many view it as the “Nirvana” of a tech geek, and several high-ranking technicians hail from Nagasia. Notable Areas: Midnight Tower, the central hub of the city. At night, it turns entirely black and lights up with several glowing veins of light, hence its name. It serves little purpose, save as a gathering spot for people. Inside are many restaurants, arcades, and the like, and it is almost always alive with people.
· Athens: The fifth Earth Colony. Named after the ancient Greek city, Athens is a planet that lives up to its namesake. It is a Mecca for artists and thinkers, and is rich in nature and wildlife, though not as much as Stratos I and II. It is the most “normal” of the planets, and consists of many simplistic cities built on the ground. Technology wise, it only uses as much as needed; there are no skyscrapers or bustling cities, but they do have ships, shields, and hologram technology to keep up with the other colonies. Athens’ main export is artwork and crafts, consisting of literature, paintings, drawings, music, etc. They also produce a good portion of soldiers; it is often joked that half the military is from Stratos I, and the other half is from Athens. Notable Areas: The Library, a massive structure erected in the heart of Athens. It is built like an ancient temple on the outside, but on the inside, it is incredibly advanced, and contains a massive database on nearly everything from military records, to history, to the number of fleas on a Seven-Eyed Rabbit’s tail. Heavily shielded and guarded, and requires high priority access to enter.

(Remember that individuals need not match the overall generalizations of the colonies; E.g. there may be a proactive Nagasian, and a brutish Athenian.)

Spoiler : The Galactic Alliance: :

Spoiler : NPCs :

There are a few NPCs that you will encounter around the universe. The most important are these:
· Admiral Raven Murasaki: A high-ranking but lazy Admiral who directly oversees The Avenger, The Illusion, and The Seahorse. He is a lazy young man in his late 20s, with long white hair and a large black and purple trenchcoat. His weapon of choice is a laser-edged katana that he calls “The Sword of True Love”. He is a hopeless romantic, who greatly believes in the ideals of love, peace, and adventure; though he often contradicts his ramblings with his harsh discipline and violent fighting style. He is also said to be a war hero who slaughtered millions of people, but due to his lazy lifestyle and carefree attitude, very few people believe this. He is also said to be an excellent singer.
· ACORD: An AI created by the Alliance, whose name means “Alliance Central Operating Robotic Device”. An ACORD AI is issued to each ship, and can be contacted for statistics or advice. Typically remains aboard the ship, and can even fly it if necessary. Its container is a floating atom-shaped orb that reflects the colors of its ship. (E.g. Red and blue for The Avenger, black and silver for The Illusion, yellow and green for The Seahorse)
· Caesar: Sometimes referred to as “Captain Caesar”, he is the leader of the Space Pirates, and commands them from his massive Warship, The Black Cutlass. He is a Serpentirian, with the head and tail of a snake, as his species typically do, but due to a horrible mutation, his body has been horribly warped. Instead of a snake’s body, he has a man’s body, a tiger’s legs, and a pair of long, reptilian arms, with 5 poisoned talons on each hand. Because of his hideous mutations, he typically stays hidden in his Captain’s Quarters, and is rarely seen, even by his own crew. He prefers to stay in the shadows and sends his men to attack. His primary weapon is a large black cutlass, but he is also armed with many laser pistols, and is rumored to carry a whole arsenal on his person at any given time.

Spoiler : Aliens Races: :

You may create a character from an alien race, with natural abilities and the like, if you wish. There are little restrictions on creating your aliens, so feel free to make whatever you like. Just keep in mind two things:
· Do not copy someone else’s race, unless you have been given permission
· Do not copy aliens from other media.

Already existing Alien races are:
Nyometis:It is a race of giant, horned lizards that come in a variety of colours, including patches of different colour around the eyes, mouth, horns, feet and tail.
Xylo: An alien race capable of telekinesis and are have a very high IQ average. This species is very advanced in technology and manners. Considered the most polite race ever seen by Humans. Their powers of telekinesis come from a crystal that is implanted in their forehead called Xylonite. Generally try to detach themselves from emotion to sustain their high IQ. (Allowed for use.)
Demi-Angels: A race called Demi-Angels, though the name actually isn't very accurate. When they were discovered by humans, they were given that name based on first impressions. Mostly because they look like normal humans, only they have what look like angel wings. Though they do have wings, they can't actually do much. They're useful for gliding a bit, but actual flying isn't possible for them. Demi-Angels can even choose to not have their wings be visible by focusing enough, so they can easily pose as humans.
Reptantian: The Reptantians have a hard time on Stratos II, as they are the prey of several much larger species in the jungle, despite their overall humanoid appearance and abilities. However, natural selection has given them many means of survival. For one, their most notable skill, is that the bottoms of their hands and feet are covered in a strong and sticky substance that allow them to climb walls and trees to hide quickly. Their naturally flexible bodies and common aerobatic abilities help with this. They can also change their skin and hair colors to camouflage into a background, like a chameleon, to help hide. Their large ears give them sensitive hearing, helpful when predators are approaching. They are very intelligent, though, and are as smart as humans. They can speak, mostly in the Reptantish language, and when speaking English their accent sounds like a combination of British and German. They are also very noteable for their child-like appearance. Their bodies age at half the rate of humans, so they can live to be a hundred years old while looking 50.
Soven: The Soven are a race of tribes in the uncolonized areas of Stratos II. All names for a Soven are something-ven.

Physically, the Soven are humanoid. Sometimes, it’s difficult to tell the difference. The other times, they have their retractable wings out. Each wing, which extends for five to six feet, is in the shape of an albatross’s wing. The coloration, however, is different. Most of the wing is white, but the region within six inches of the edges of the wing is colored differently, depending on the person. For instance, a person with a bit of a temper may have red-edged wings, but a person who is extremely passionate about things would also have red-edged wings. The only way to tell the difference is by shade. Anger is usually a dark red and passion is usually a bright red. Compensating for their flight capabilities, the Soven are very poor in hand-to-hand combat and receiving damage. An injury that would just require a one-day breather can hospitalize a Soven for up to a week. Lastly, the Soven have a strange aging system. The first twenty years go by at the rate of a human, but after that, things slow by a rate of three. It is unknown how long this would continue, as the oldest a Soven has lived is up to 80 years, or 40 Human years.

Culturally, the Soven are… interesting. They live as tribes not because they’re primitive. They just like the lifestyle. They live in and are very well acquainted with the jungle. They know the most tricks to surviving in the jungle, but more on this later. The Soven tribes are remarkably traditional. Therefore, there are few differences between them all. There is a rotation system for jobs. Some hunt and butcher, some process the items attained from the kill, some explore, some deliver messages between the tribes, some nurse, and some take care of children. (Children are raised communally and few know who their biological parents are.) Who does what changes two times every three months. The Soven are big risk-takers and prize a solitary, adventurous spirit who loves the primitive lifestyle. The only areas where the Soven use “modern” technology are weapons and medical. Not being the most technologically advice, they trade rare goods to any merchants that stop by their tribes. They are very distrustful of large groups and cause them to evacuate in less than fifteen minutes.

Wow.
Wow.
WOW.

This looks SO fun. I know I need to get my app up for OIR, but this looks so... FUN AS DUCKS/I wanna be a captain.

Spoiler : :

Okay, so it's a little light in the history department, but I was kinda strapped for ideas. Sorry. I'll see if I can add more soon.

Oh, and I suppose I'll apply for Co-GM. I'm on here a lot, and... I don't put up with rule breakers... um... go healthcare?

Spoiler : :

Character Name: Christian Greggs
Race: A little known about species called the Nyometis. It is a race of giant, horned lizards that come in a variety of colours, including patches of different colour around the eyes, mouth, horns, feet and tail.
Age: 28
Ship: The Avenger
Rank: N/A
Colony of Origin: Stratos II
Appearance: 24 ft long including his tail, though the tail is usually curled into the air, making him appear 15 ft long, 4 ft tall. His scales are dark green and he has patches of light purple scales around his gleaming, red eyes, his mouth, the base of his pearly, white horns, his clawed feet and his tail is almost completely purple, with only the area around the base being green. His tail is 12 ft long and has a razor sharp tip that is much lighter in colour than the rest of his tail. He has a typical, pronged, bright red tongue. His horns protrude from the back of his head and curve slightly upwards. They are 3 ft long.
Personality: Christian comes across as a very timid, cowardly and frail individual. However, this masks a dominant, bloodthirsty personality. He is very posessive of anyone who he becomes close to and wishes to control and break such people. He is fascinated by pain, misery and death and enjoys inflicting them upon anyone who crosses his path. He finds that establishing a relationship with such people first makes it much more delicious when the time comes for them to know despair. He also feels that he should be personally responsible for the death of any friend he has.
History: The son of an experienced mercenary, Christian was brought up to follow in his father's footsteps. Christian got on well with his parents, as well as his two brothers and his sister. However, he learned to despise his work. He felt it hollow, for he never got to bond with his targets. When he discussed his troubles with his father, it was not taken well, not by his father and not by the rest of the family. Believing his true calling to be elsewhere, Christian decided to enroll in common society and train to be a space cadet. The idea of an adventure alongside comrades he could grow close to warmed his heart.
Equipment & Weapons: A laser pistol strapped to the underside of his neck. He is able to wield this using his tongue.
Quotes: "Please don't hurt me!"
"You guys are the best friends I've ever had."
"No! You can't!"

Spoiler : Application :

Character Name: Xamen Yem (ZAy- mehn Yehm)
Race: Xylo. An alien race capable of telekinesis and are have a very high IQ average. This species is very advanced in technology and manners. Considered the most polite race ever seen by Humans. Their powers of telekinesis come from a crystal that is implanted in their forehead called Xylonite. Generally try to detach themselves from emotion to sustain thei high IQ. (I will allow anyone else who wants to use this race for their character app.)
Age: 21 (Earth Years) 341 (Xylon years)
Ship: The Illusion
Rank: N/A (Although I would like to be 1st mate if allowed.)
Colony of Origin: Athens
Appearance: 5' 9" with sleek black hair. Pale skinned (Like most Xylonians), with a purple Xylonite crystal. Medium Hands, thin fingers. Wears a black synthetic uniform with two silver stripes coming down the front and a cape ('Cause capes are cool).
Personality: Cold and Calculative. He has a general disregard for idiocy and because of that he is a control freak. Even though he isn't the captain He tries to backseat drive most of the time telling the captain what to do and what not to do. He goes on a rage when the crew doesn't obey his orders. For this reason , he is disliked by most of the crew. His favorite past-times are running maintenance checks on the ship, ordering people around, calculating where the Flying Monkey may be located, and deciding what the next best course of action is in times of peace and battle well before either starts.
History: Xamen moved from Xylon to Athens to study human behavior and how it influences art for the Xylon government. 5 years passed and he received word that his home planet was ravaged by The Virrx and was reduced to ashes. After that he joined the GA (Galactic Alliance) to avenge his people and, if he was lucky enough, find the flying monkey to help rebuild the Xylon civilization.
Equipment & Weapons: Carries a small energy shield on his back, two battle disks, and a laser pistol. His uniform is made out of a light metal Alloy that can morph into armor or weaponry by using telekinesis. He uses this when his uniform is damaged is in need of a quick fix or if his other weaponry are failing him. He can also use his telekinesis for both offensive and defensive but only using this as a last resort for personal reasons.
Quotes:
"Captain, I recommend the best course of action is to let me take the wheel."
"With all due respect sir, you are an idiot, sir."
