Futuristic The Frontier: A Space Western Interest Group

[capMARVELOUS]

It's the future. Not as distant as you might think, but not as close to today as you might think, either.
Mankind has made significant advancements in spacefaring technology. Travel between planets is much faster; where planet-hopping used to take seven months, it now takes seven hours. Atmosphere producers have been created, though they can only produce enough atmosphere to cover small areas. These two advancements have paved the way for the logical next step in history:
Colonization.
Mars is home to several Earth colonies, but they are a far cry from Earth civilization. The harsh desert environment makes life tough. Breathable air is only found in buildings. Lawlessness runs wild. And ever lurking on the horizon is the shadow of aliens that might not take a shine to humans encroaching on their property.
It's your job to make your way in this new era.

Interest Group | Main Gameplay Thread | Character Factory | Chat Club
​

Do you like space? Do you like westerns? Then this is the game for you!
This game is sort of a Star Wars-meets-Destiny-meets-The Magnificent Seven type of deal. Cowboys in powered armor shooting lasers at each other. Basically.
Hit me up if you're interested, or have any questions about the game. Three interest posts and I'll make the necessary threads.

Are there aliens?

Indeed. The Martians are there, ready to shoot up your town or kidnap your women. Should you provoke them, that is.

Just wondering a few things though, what's the situation on Earth and what's the appeal of Mars?

The situation on Earth is rather dull, to be honest. It's still largely the same, just with higher advances in technology.
As for the appeal of Mars, Earth space programs see it as a prime opportunity for interstellar colonization, what with its relatively similar size and gravity to Earth, as well as an opportunity to put their new atmosphere producers and planet-hopping drives to the test.

Sounds like a jolly good time, since I like both cowboys and space lasers. Mind if I join?

Do you have an overall plot or some idea of where the story is going to go?

Yes. I can't reveal too much right now, but suffice to say, there's a mystery that needs solving...

 

[The_Omega_Effect]

Then consider me interested.
