The first signs of life in the Silvara Galaxy went largely unnoticed by higher beings as they watched the workings of the cosmos below them. With similar events happening in countless locations throughout the universe and barely any indication of its potential, the star cluster received little interest from the gods on their planes, whose eyes were set on more-developed regions. Yet with surprising speed, this rudimentary life began to evolve, adapting their bodies, developing their minds, and gaining a certain curious natural ability that elevated them from the simplistic creatures they were originally determined to become. Before long, a power had formed in the Silvara Galaxy that was impossible to ignore...<br/><br/><br/>Year 450X - With the advent of the interstellar drive, the anthros from the planet Alkarom had spread across the galaxy like wildfire, spanning across the wide range stars within a few hundred years. A wide variety of technological advancements had allowed them to colonize hundreds of systems while charting many more, allowing them to utilize and unravel the seemingly endless stream of mysteries in their new frontier. This, combined with their more innate traits, aided their expansion across the galaxy, utilizing both diplomacy and the flash of claws, blades, and firearms to become the dominant force of the galaxy.<br/><br/>However, with such progress inevitably comes discord.<br/><br/>Hampered by the difficulty of managing such a large domain and torn by differing ideas on how to use its new power, the once-united empire under Alkarom has fractured, creating numerous factions that now claimed sections of the galaxy as their own. With the sting of their tensions and thoughts of conquest filling their minds, war quickly spread between the more militaristic groups, forcing others to seek refuge while the remnants of the original regime attempted to restore peace. And beyond the scope of their own agendas, an entirely different set of eyes have fallen on the galaxy, a galaxy that had become very enticing indeed...<br/><br/>It is now your story begins, and how you will factor into all these complications is up to you.<br/><br/><br/>- - - - -<br/><br/><br/>Welcome to the world of<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">"Shattered Sun"</span></span>!<br/><br/>As some of you may know, this is not been the first RPG I have attempted to run on this forum. :3 Earlier this year, I operated a D&D game known as<a class="postlink" href="https://aryion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&amp;t=19147">"Insatiable"</a>for a few months, a project I'm still proud of in terms of the quality of the RP it created. Unfortunately, due to certain complications I decided to let it go. However, the desire to run a game has nagged at me since then, and upon discovering the Big Eyes Small Mouth (BESM) 3rd Edition system, I was inspired to craft a new campaign.<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">"Shattered Sun"</span></span>is the result. >:3<br/><br/><br/>Some highlights of this campaign:<br/><br/>> The setting will he highly futuristic, but not without a good number of fantasy influences as well. Advanced weapons, space travel, and all sorts of other sci-fi goodness will make an appearance, but magic and other less-scientific things will be prominent as well!<br/><br/>> As the opening story suggested, the characters of this game will largely be furries. However, many other types creatures, like intelligent or non-intelligent ferals, taurs, and (maybe) demis, will appear as well! Macros and micros will periodically make appearances too, although same-size will be used most often.<br/><br/>> There's going to be plenty of vore, of course! >:9 Worked into the game with a set of custom rules created by the talented Kitts, there will be many many opportunities for delicious nommage throughout the entire campaign. Vore will primarily be soft and oral, at least in terms of combat and game mechanics, but other types will be allowed depending on the situation. >:3<br/><br/>> This game is rated "R", meaning sexual situations can (and likely will) happen. However, all such scenes will have a warning on it, in case some readers don't want to see that kind of material.<br/><br/><br/>Players will have<span style="font-weight: bold">250 points</span>with which to create their characters, with a benchmark set at<span style="font-weight: bold">Heroic</span>levels. However, the Weapon attribute will be an exception, with its max level set at 5, not 4. Also, don't forget to include the new Vore attribute, explained below. You don't want to miss out on it... >:3<br/><br/><br/>Normal chat should be written like this sentence.<br/><br/>[[OOC chat will be written in brackets like this. However, try to keep it to a minimum. No need to detract from the world, right? :3]]<br/><br/>A standard way to write out a roll/check would be: (Attack: 1d20(result) + modifiers = result) Deviate from the format if you will, but keep these basic components. ^^<br/><br/><br/>Well... that's about it for now! I'm aiming to update it once a week or so, unless exceptional circumstances (like midterms) present themselves. Either as a player or a casual viewer, I hope you enjoy<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">"Shattered Sun"</span></span>and the RP it will create once it's gone underway. Thanks for reading!
