Idiot on the moon.
Hello! This is my first ever world idea so sorry if the writing and style is all over the place.. Its not for D&D, its for general RP. Any feedback would be appreciated and if anyone would like to help me write the world, that would be great.
So the idea is, Its the near future and there is a colony mission to a habitable alien planet by the name of "Altis".
Tech is still somewhat modern, No lasers, teleporters, none of that.
The human plot is, NASA finds a habitable planet in a different solar system and send a group of astronauts. Once they arrive they find out this planet is literally a fantasy world. With Elves, Dragons, Orcs, all of that stuff. And now they need to work with the natives to create the first interstellar colony.
Some players would be some of the planet natives, and others would be the astronauts. The astronauts want to set up a colony. And the aliens could choose to fight the astronauts or help them.
Each race would have there own relation to the human colonists.
There are 8 races.
Elves: Can use magic, Humanlike, See themselves as the top race on Altis, They would see humanity as a rival.
Dwarvs: Master craftsmen and resource gathers, they can easily create anything from blades to rudimentary guns, And later in the story, human tech. Can use magic
Kobalds: Quick witted and smart, They would be able to learn from human tech. Cant use magic.
Dragons: Wise and old, They would not be a player race but instead NPC's
Anths: Literally furrys, If somebody that is into that stuff, this is the race for them. Devoutly religious, See the coming of humanity as a sign from the gods. Can use magic [Please note, Im not a furry Im just trying to be inclusive.]
Shapeshifters: Able to become literally anything, Some can be kind and extremely helpful others can be seductive and mischievous.
Orcs: Hostile and annoying, There all over the planet and they usually try to steal things. There is a HUGE amount of them. Extremely durable. Cant use magic.
Humans: Astronauts, They cant use magic, They have modern weaponry and tools. IE. Guns, Drills, stuff like that. They would not have the tools or weapons for any kind of invasion.
The tech level of Humanity would be similar to the movie Interstellar or Avatar. No lasers, No gravity on ships, No teleporters or portals, EXT. Pretty much the kind of tech you might see in the next 10-20 years just with a warpdrive.
The Human characters would be a setup/scouting team that would set up the colony, 5-10 years later, the main colony ship would arrive, carrying the actual colonists. Im debating having the Human scout ship crashland or not.
The humans would be split into 3 Specialties, Engineers, Scientists and Guards/marines.
My requirements for characters would be the following. [Note Some options would be race specific so im going to put the race its related to next to the requirement.]
Name
Race
Age
Gender
Bio
Personality
Physical Description or Image.
[Humans] Specialties
[Humans] Space Suit Description or Image.
[Races that can use magic] Magic. EX: Fire, Ice, Ext.
[Every Race Other Then Human] Profession.
From the perspective of human players it would start with the landing sequence. From the perspective of every other race, it would be what they were doing at the time of "Planetfall".
I/the GM would have a character but they wouldn't be on the planets surface, They would be a human on the surface of the planets first moon and they would act as a relay between the human PC's on Altis' surface and Mission control on earth. They would never leave the moon and would only be able to interact with the PC's through messages.
Thats all I have written down. I will comment if there are any updates. Please PM me or reply below with any ideas, questions or feedback. Thanks for taking the time out of your day to read this.
