They walked up to the ships bar, contemplating the loneliness of being alone in space, the only conscious being for an almost endless amount of miles, in any direction.
"Why are you always polishing a glass?" They asked Arthur, the smiling, human looking robot bartender. "I'm your only customer."
"Trick of the trade." Arthur replied in his clear, almost soothing voice. "Makes people nervous when the bartender just stands there." He smiled again, continuing to work away at the almost perfectly clean glass.
"Well, lay some bartender wisdom on me, I'm lost in space here." They said, wincing at their own joke.
Arthur looked them in the eye, still painfully unaware of his customers troubles. "You're... not where you want to be. You feel like you're supposed to be somewhere else."
They almost chuckled. "You said it."
"Well," Arthur continued, "Say you could snap your fingers and be, wherever you want to be. I bet you'd still feel this way." He brough the glass up to his eye for further inspection, before lowering it to look them in the eye again with a smile. "The point is, you can't get so hung up on where you'd rather be, that you forget to make the most of where you are."
Welcome!
Before we get right in to what this is all about, I've got some acknowledgments to make. A lot of people helped with this tavern, an thanks to their incredibly helpful tips, ideas, and really quick response time, the tavern was finished in 24 hours!
〰Acknowledgements:〰
I'd love to thank Markell for helping a ton, and I mean a ton, with device creation, idea brainstorming, and for literally making an entire planet system to help with this. All your thoughts were awesome, I'm super grateful :D (credit also goes to Markell for the name of the Tavern). I'd love to thank Notihic, for his help with the ships deign an aspects of the world around the ship, despite the limited information I gave him to work on lmao. I'd love to thank Dutch for their super work, helping me design and weigh out the pros and cons with the ships ventilation system, and the cool things within it! They are quite the underground system expert, as most of you know. I'd love to thank Yondor for his input and ideas on spells and how they can be used by the ships machines themselves (and maybe how players can use them too), thanks to him I can tell this is going to be both hilarious and epic. I'd love to thank Arch for their amazing ideas for literally the coolest thing ever, space monstrosities. And finally, I'd love to thank Calo for their splendid work on funky magical plants, that characters can both love and/or be terrified of!
For those of you who have watched the movie, you have probably already guessed that this tavern is heavily inspired by the film passenger! It won't include any major spoilers from it though, and you really do not have had to watch the film to understand this tavern.
Lore:
The Homebound is a colossal spaceship, flying through the cosmos. After many planet systems started dying, all races an people you can imagine suffering, it was decided that life as we know it needed another chance. 5 million people were cryogenically frozen, to prevent them from aging on their massive journey, and are on the Homebound, headed for a new planet lightyears away. To start a new life. Every different type of person you can think of, every race, profession, age, you can find frozen on this ship. There needed to be an abundance, so every type of people had a chance at a new life, from the royalty to the street criminals.
But lately, something strange has been happening. 129 years into the journey of the Homebound... people have started to unfreeze. Waking up almost 300 years early.
As stated in the lore, all kinds of different people could wake up after being frozen in the ship. That means pretty much any character goes, with no limitations to theme, and no reason needed on how or why they're here! Whether frozen willingly or unwillingly, a member of a highly populated race or a very unique one, it does not matter. As long as they do not posses godly powers, anything goes! The ship is indestructible anyways.
The ship is massive, and was designed to not only carry the people, but also entertain them for the 6 months between when they are due to wake up, and when they are due to arrive. That means there are all sorts of things on the ship! It can mostly be up to you what you find, as this ship will have most things. But it defiantly has pools, space suits an jets to go into space with, a greenhouse, an antigravity room, a dark arts room, a combat arena, an entertainment sector, and of course, the bar that the robot bartender Arthur works at! Feel free to ad anything you like, within reason.
I'm really interested to see how characters would act here, on a journey that will last for their lifetime, knowing they woke up early. Your character is also able to wake others up if they wish, but who ever they wake up will have to either be run by you as another one of your characters, or by somebody else who wants to. Remember, waking someone up will most likely lead to them living the rest of their life on this spaceship and never reaching their new home! It is a fun way to intro a new character though.
Rules:
This Tavern is 13+, like the Forums themselves. Keep that in mind.
Please keep swearing to a minimum, and always censor it with [gp] or [1 gp].
Please take any arguments between users to a PM, so it doesn't clutter up the thread.
Combat is allowed, but characters in fights can only die if both sides have agreed that it's a fight to the death. The Tavern is also indestructible, so don't go trying to make the inside the outside.
No overly gory scenes. Even though we have an age rating for this Tavern, we don't know who could end up reading its pages. Have fun, but don't do stuff that could traumatise little kids, alright?
As for Romance, please keep it to a minimum. I understand it can be fun, and we're happy to have it if it's adding a new aspect to the role play. But I'm going to have to firmly say that there can be NOTHING sexual in any way. Not even fade to black, just don't go there. Keep it innocent, its nicer that way :)
Don't be mean. No matter what is happening with your characters, stay friendly in person :). No controlling or abusive roleplay either.
Have fun! This is a chill place for fun roleplay :)
The mods may issue warnings and bans to any user who break these rules. Please don't argue with the mods. The mods only include me at the moment, but I highly trust and respect everyone in the acknowledgements, so if I'm not online and they are I'm sure they'll help with things. If not, I'll be on eventually lmao, I can never bring myself to be away for long.
You can intro your character in any way you like, whether it be them just having woke up, going to the bar, or exploring the ship, if you want to play!
We hope you enjoy your stay :D

I want you to know. You are going to lose. You are going to lose badly. You’re going to lose badly and it’s going to be awesome.
*Oh man, there are endless ideas for a character on this tavern GAHHHHHHHHHHH. I either wanna do something futuristic, like an AI that was accidentally put on the ship, or I wanna do some regular middle aged person who will struggle with the thought of dying before the mission is over*

My name’s Gradius, this is my second account :P I love Hollow Knight and I have been on ddb for a while. Come rp with me anytime! It is my purpose. My title that was given to me by Drummer is…SPIRIT OF THE WEST, GUARDIAN OF THE HOLLOWS.
No cost too great. No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering. Born of God and Void.
A young man, Passenger 333, has awoken from the ship, a strange look on his face. He goes wandering around, as if looking for something, his eyes widened.
'I dreamt that I was... more than just a regular guy. I dreamt of hundreds of lives, and it was me living them, but it wasn't me as I am now. In some of them, I was an elf, in others, a mutant, a little kid, heck, I even dreamt I was a rat, being chased down by this huge white cat.'

"That really does sound like quite the dream." He pulls out another glass to polish. "You have been asleep for a long time. I'm no dream reader, but being asleep for that long must do something to you."
