Brave New World OOC

[Dirtydan]

This is an OOC for the Brave New World open rp this is to discuss roles and ideas for the plot. This is going to be a very open formate anyone can hope in and get involved in the roleplay regardless of what you wish to play your character will have a role to play in the interpersonal drama, adventure setting where anything is possible. 

Anyway here is the pitch if you like feel free to join!

Our characters have been selected to take part in expedition to study a new planet. The crew is comprised of varies individuals from different backgrounds. Perhaps you're a renown scientist in chemistry, biology, or medicine. Or perhaps you're a military expert in charge of securing a safe perimeter around the base. I'm sure your character would easily be able to find place on the crew with a little imagination.

I went ahead and started in the open roleplay page. I also credited you for the formate idea

Can't lie, this idea looks pretty fun, so I may just join in, if permitted to ofc.

[Dirtydan]

Of course! The more the merrier! Anyone is welcome to join in.

This is a bit of an experiment for me so if strech myself thin or if my replies are difficult to understand please let me know and I'll do my best clarify. Be patient and understanding with me and I'll do the same. Thanks for understanding!

I love Hendrick: the great big gruff grim trigger-happy moody old git. Reminds me of Elijah, and Ruby has a crush on Elijah for a reason. Wilson is cute too - in a different way, obviously.

This is fun.

[Cute_Bro]

I hope he is to both of your likings...I didn't want him to be cute, I wanted him to be chipper...but well this is the path that has been paved, so now I must walk it X3

[Gangsta Moll Deactivated]

Very much to Penny's liking: very much indeed - but be careful, she is devious.

Figured I'd throw in some conflict and drama.

[Dirtydan]

I appreciate it, drama is always fun!

Question: What do people think that crew quarters on the ship are like? SF is all over the place on how that goes. My personal preference is to have cramped but dedicated sleeping/personal rooms. Something like

• Captain has a personal bedroom and office, as does any other similarly senior person
• Military soldiers sleep in a communal berthing area, like enlisted sailors do today
• Civilian crew being stacked in a small room, with two sets of bunks
• Galley and other living areas are communal

From an RP perspective it's a trade-off. I know that there are a lot of people who prefer private rooms, for you know the obvious reasons, but there is also something to be said for a space which encourages personal interaction

I was under the impression that on the vessel it would cramped, tight spaces all around similar to a navy vessel. Everthing packed tightly for efficiency. The majority of the vessel would be dedicated to cargo space for equipment. Then as the settlement develops it would progressively expand away from the vessel until it would mostly abandon only used by a few characters namely out named characters.

Also I'd like to add that didn't intend for Hendrick to become this villainous asshole. He was just supposed to a hard-ass dedicated to safety and securing the mission objectives, establishing a base, securing water, agriculture, resources, ect. While other characters would go off and do their own sorts of the things. He was meant to be a wall people would occasionally run up agaisnt for tension, on dangerous or particularly exploratory endeavors, but I'm fine with him becoming an antagonizing force that will eventually push the other characters together.

My own experience (as a civilian) is that Navy tends to be 6-berth for senior, 12-berth for junior, ratings. But as a civilian I get my own.

I understand that now, but I like Hendrick's crazed focus and outrageous aggression now. And I'm sure Penny can take what she is going to get - she's a tough cookie.

I apologize for my lack of replies, I've been absolutely swamped with work and I will most likely contuine to be swamped for the next few weeks. I'll reply as consistently as I can. I just want to be forthcoming with all of you

Completely understood, take your time buddy
