Alright, so everyone can put their meta-characters here, and the race and occupation of your in game characters after that. The options for metas are basically anyone of college age.<br/><br/>The Occupations are:<br/>Engineer- Keeps the ship flying, installs and repairs equipment. In combat, oversees Defense maneuvers.<br/>Tactician- Protects the crew, stays vigilant. In combat, oversees Offense maneuvers.<br/>Navigation- Sets courses, manages star-maps, sails through the Celestial Storms. In combat, uses movement maneuvers.<br/>Operations- Uses scanners and communications tech. In combat, uses Scan maneuvers to spot enemy weaknesses.<br/>Command- Oversees supplies, keeps order, plans steps for achieving goals. In combat, uses Lead maneuvers to give others more actions.<br/><br/>The Races are:<br/>Kalneth- Big and violent. Reddish skinned with long black hair. Their tech is generally very manual and combustion driven.<br/>Fauth- Stocky and shortish. Covered in thick hair, typically shave forearms. The best builders, their tech is functional and bulky.<br/>Szelnar- Flippant nomads. Average height, orange to brown skin tones, ears pointed. Expert merchants, they copy others' tech.<br/>Lorani- Serious and aloof. Like Szelnar, only with pastel skin tones. Possibly related. Use crystal and vibrations in tech.<br/>Mordani- Strange and not well understood. Appearance is concealed under Bio-suits in most cases. Xenophobes. Their tech is plant based.<br/>Urundi- Small and prolific. Seen as a nuisance, they aren't at the top of their food chains. Evolved with their 'tech', pheromone based.<br/><br/>I'll happily go into further detail on any of the topics above if anyone needs more info. Once we're all added in here, I'll start up the in game thread.<br/>The meta group is meeting up in a dorm room to play Celestial Storm Omega. The adult rules in the game will require the players to act out interactions to maximize the interaction's effects. Describing the interaction gets only half reward. Simply stating what happens gives only 1/10th. Interactions build up the crew's power level, and can be used to purchase items that require 'Tsen', a currency used by the Szelnar that effectively puts a value on any service a creature could perform.<br/>The In Game scene will open up on a space port set near a Celestial Storm, a huge maelstrom of cosmic force that can send a ship massive distances very quickly. The mobile storms are natural disasters of planetary proportions. The stationary ones are exploitable, as long as you have a course to follow. Get knocked off course, and there's no telling if you'll make it out again, or where you'll be. Your characters will begin here with a minimum of credits, and probably no Tsen. Only by joining up with others can you hope to afford nice things, like ships and gear. (A theme which should resonate with our college bound meta group)<br/><br/>Even if that doesn't cover everything, that's all I can do right now.<br/><br/>-O<br/><br/><br/><br/>
