Welcome to the Out of character chat for “Pirates of the Abyss”, a space themed fantasy pirate Roleplay.

Be a pirate, one that doesn’t sail the ocean, but instead travels the deep depths of space.

At one point pirates sailed the open seas, doing illegal acts for profit. Times changed and many pirates lived on land amongst the common folk. However, it has been multiple generations since that time.

Earth is a husk of its former self long abandoned and decayed after a large war (roughly 12 maxind ago). It has been reclaimed and overgrown by nature. Most animals of earth that are alive today are bred and domesticated as they needed to have a place to live where the air was not radiated.

it has been found that many creatures of fantasy were real, but long ago they fled the planet, hiding within the surfaces of other planets so the humans wouldn’t continue to try and ruin their lifestyles like they always seem to do. One creature for example, the dragon, doesn't stop growing until it dies. Nowadays there are some that can be found wrapped around planets like how the rings of Saturn used to be.

Humans are turning into a lost race as they have chosen to mate with other species and are becoming hybrids, they are very compatible with many humanoid races. The pure humans are thinning out as time goes by due to their planet’s near extinction and are used as exotic living trophies that are managed to be found for purposes of mating or as pets. In truth the humans don’t like this and consider it to be very humiliating and degrading, even though they have done the exact same to other species and races over the years.

There are flying ships commonly amongst the skies, space, and other planets. The way of the pirate has reverted back to the way it used to be: stealing goods transported from one planet to another in order to survive on their own. Then bartering the rest to make a profit. Though there is no single agreed upon currency, materials have value.

Technology is valued as a highly needed resource and many have chosen to go the route of body augmentations to improve their bodies beyond what it was naturally capable. However some still wish to keep their bodies free from electronics as to keep themselves ‘pure’

There is no large body of government as it is too difficult to keep watch of the vastness of space. However, there are many planet based governmental militias that are asked to watch the depths around the planets. They are usually paid through food and top notch augmentations in order to help them with their bounties.

Different magic origins

Jupiter: Enchanted Relics, mixed with science and mana charge creates mana weapons

Venus: mana body charge attacks, mixed with science makes modulations.

Mars: tomes and runes

Earth: Elemental Magic, mixed with science, creates other elements

Scrappers: kill others and take their body modifications to barter as whole items to other people.

Scavengers: take old broken down ships and sell/modify the parts for a higher value.

Looters: tend to leave the other ship’s crew alive while taking vital supplies.

Militias: bounty hunters that are sent after people by planetary governments in order to bring a form of justice. They may prefer to bring back the person, either dead or alive depending on the mission at hand.

Hostiles: tend to take in entire ships and use the crews electronics and flesh for their own use. They try to make use of everything and auction off the remains.

Friendlies: wonderers that can make their own supplies and don’t necessarily need to trade. They act friendly, yet cautious around other ships. They have no intent to harm or help others.

Marketeers: they are mostly friendly and only want to trade goods with others. They aren’t big on confrontation and prefer to stay amongst themselves, but dont mind occasionally trading with the other types. They may offer other services than just trading.

Adventurers: they do not steal and usually have a positive upbringing that gives them enough wealth to explore the universe. They may ally with the other types of pirates in order to get materials and food.

you must ask to be a hostile or a scrapper

making a space rp where the earth is gone, I quickly realized that most time measurement forms are relative to the cycle around the sun so they dont exactly make sense to use on other planets.

Had to come up with a standard measurement for time and space

Seconds minutes and hours work still but anything later does not, so I decided to have it continue with the trend of multiplying by sixty. Kinda like how the mentric system goes up by adding zeroes.

So im thinking

Second (as usual)

Minute (as usual)
(60 seconds)

Hour (as usual)
(60 minutes)

Magnute (big in latin but messed with a little)
(60 hours) (2.5 earth days)

Maiour (bigger in latin messed with a little)
(60 magnutes) (150 earth days) (roughly 5 earth months)

Maxind (biggest in latin messed with a little)
(60 Maiours) (300 earth months) (25 earth years)

And

Infinitum (literally infinity in latin.)
(Used to say its been so much time I lost track)

Im calling it the Standardized space time management system (not to be confused with spacetime)
Feel free to use it so long as you credit me for making it

Astral hawk: one man ship mainly for travel purposes

Port craft: 3 or 4 man ship

Star Cutter: 5

Scout:10

Merchant quadrant: 15 people

Starts to have rooms

War quadrant: about 25 people fit on this

Merchant station: 30

War frigate: 50

Grand frigate: 75

Tzar: 125

Battleship: 175, heavily armed on deck

Starts carrying other ships
Starcraft Carrier: 300

Carries multiple ships at once
Dreadnaut: 500. Heavily armed on deck

Relay station: 3,000 people max, where people go to trade and do other things

Nomad Module: 50,000 people max, people live here to avoid living on a planet, they are highly protected.

the biggest ship you can start with is a scout, for others you will need special permission

A fully robotic android is fine, and it can be modled after any fantasy being. It does not have to be specifically a human android.
just remember to list all of its features and components under augmentations

and you will need to converse with me over how it became sentient

okay but tomorrow! I have two exams due and I probably shouldn't fail!
 
Scrambles Scrambles (sorry for the double pin posted to the wrong thread)

so you decided to go with a human eh? Im glad your backstory goes with the lore of the rp.

imma let you know, we are trying not to use years in general as a time measurement due to cycles of the planets around their stars being different in the rp. Also, remember that earth has been gone for 3 human generation, so they wouldnt even really use earth years as a time measurement anymore.

second, minute and hour are unaffected, but day-year are relative to the planets
We still havent come up with replacement standards for larger chunks of time, but we probably will make a standard space time in the future
 
Yeah, something about them dwindling out stuck out as a neat character angle.

That makes sense about the years, I'll keep that in mind going forward.
 
Ive come up with a new set of terms for time for use of the rp, you dont have to use it, just dont use the terms reltive to planitary cycles as they can make things confusing. The regular time mesurments that are safe to use are hour, minutes, and second
 
Scrambles Scrambles you can post when you want now, just make sure its in a way that makes sense.the character probably wont be able to join the crew at the moment, and they plan to leave the relay station permanently soon. I wouldn’t recommend joining as a stowaway because the last rp we did as a group, that didnt go well for the character who did.
 
ZackStop ZackStop sure, but we kinda have a planned plot going so theres no saying when there will be an opportunity to join. We have an ooc here but nobody has been using it, so the main group has been talking on facebook messenger cus we know each other.

also nobody outside the main group has actually posted so we have no clue when or if someone will.
