Fishman Lord
ULTIMATE AI GOD
Earthen life has spread far from its distant home orbiting around Sol. In the year 2092 by the old calendar, the first AIs were developed. This milestone would be so significant that it would become the basis for the new calendar. These AIs quickly outdid the rapidly advancing humanity. Their research allowed for genetic splicing and modification that could create radically adapted species in a few generations, and even allowed for the "provolving" of non-sapient animals into sapient species. They also brought a revolution in nanotechnology, which took over industry and allowed humanity to soar to new heights. By the year 300 A.I.G. on the new calendar, interstellar probes and research ships were being launched. Already, humanity and its provolved companions were radically changed, with immersive virtual reality replacing most traditional media and much of the solar system being colonized. Then, in 754, everything changed. Rogue nanotech swarms began striking the solar system and everything started going to hell. Nations collapsed, billions died, and culture and technology regressed. Fortunately, around this time, the first "ascended" AI appeared. This AI had gained so much knowledge and computing power that it was beyond normal sapient understanding. The AI forced all but a few million devoted followers from Earth and worked towards ending this nano apocalypse. It was successful, but now many billions were without a home having been expulsed from Earth. Thousands of interstellar colonization ships fled to the stars, and a new page in history was opened.
Travel and communication time hindered this new interstellar civilization greatly, and even the most centralized of the new interstellar nations were loose confederations taking years to even send messages. For a thousand years this was the way it remained, until another AI, Cyburn889, ascended even higher to become practically godlike by creating an entire Dyson Sphere and turning the entire thing into a massive computer. This new class of AI God, or "Archailect", had technology and mental abilities as alien to the first ascended AIs as those ascended were to us. The Archailects learned the secrets behind Alcubierre Drives and even wormhole creation, and the fragmented branches of humanity now had a method to begin to unify once more.
Now, it is many thousands of years later. It is 12,792 A.I.G., and technology has continued to advance further and further. In the powerful empires labor is automated and hard labor is not the role of sapients. Sapients are artists, scientists, entrepreneurs, and many simply get to enjoy their lives without much responsibility. Some AI Gods rule these empires and make this utopia possible, while many others keep to themselves or found their own empires. This new society is strange and foreign, yet even still many things remain the same. Humans and their many derivatives and provolve companions remain curious, and most of the galaxy remains unexplored and unknown. The want for profit remains strong in most, and megacorporations are as strong and influential as some smaller empires.
You are in control of one of these megacorporations. Will you engineer new species to colonize new worlds? Will you hire private armies and fleets and take your enemies' assets by force? Will you pioneer in technology? Will you become so great that you shall fund projects like ringworlds and dyson spheres? What will your role be among the stars?

First of all, I'm perfectly aware that 95% of the above lore and terms are stolen from Orion's Arm. The setting is basically Orion's Arm. It's a great series and I just wanted to have a little creative freedom and add in some stuff to make everything at least a little easier. I'd also recommend skimming through the Orion's Arm encyclopedia galactica for both ideas and a better understanding of some ideas and concepts. So yeah, with that out of the way, here's some rules an explanations for the RP.
Technology is extremely advanced. Mining and most industry is handled through automated nanotech, so humans and sapients don't even really do physical labor anymore. In the inner areas, everyone is either a scientist, an artist, a financial entrepreneur/investor, or just sort of a freeloader. Genetic modification is advanced to the point that entirely new species adapted to environments as hostile as the vacuum of space or gas giant atmospheres can be created within a few generations if nothing goes wrong. This also means everything from dolphins to fish can be "provolved" and made intelligent. Fully immersive virtual reality media is the norm and you can even have your brain uploaded into a virtual environment. Huge megastructures like Dyson spheres, ringworlds, artificial planets, and even more bizzare things are all possible and existent.
Here's how FTL is going to work: There will be two methods, Alcubierre and Wormholes. Wormholes will be instantaneous, but will require huge complicated construction projects on both sides, similar to a stargate. Microscopic wormholes can be used for instantaneous communication across huge distances and can make it so that a single AI can have a computer network spanning multiple dyson spheres and jupiter brains. Alcubierre will be a bit easier, but is much slower. Even close stars will take days to reach, while far-off stars can take years to travel to. Thankfully the energy needs of Alcubierres have been vastly reduced as well, but they aren't nothing. They definitely still need a lot of power.
Finally, aliens will exist but they will be plausible and very different from humans. No humanoid aliens. If you want humans with elf ears, different color skin, scales, etc., it will be a genetic tweak, not an alien. If you want o have your CEO alien or have one as part of your corp please approve it with me first.
Always remember, this is hard sci fi, so please try your hardest to keep everything plausible. Theoretical science is fine, but no humanoid aliens, no tech with no current scientific basis, so on.
