Ah, the glory of the Terran Empire, the largest and greatest star empire in the galaxy! It encompasses thousands of star systems, millions of planets and trillions of happy citizens, all connected by the wondrous power of subspace travel. We are the best defended, most advanced, and most civilised empire in this great galaxy, and you– yes, you– are the backbone! You, the people of Iri Prime, mine the Iridescence required for our empire to function smoothly. Without you, the barbaric Nosferti and their piratical fleets would have little to fear! So, remember, citizen, keep working through thick and thin. Stay loyal to your empire! Join the Iri Prime Mining Corps and contribute to our continued galactic dominance!
The advert comes to an end, and the outside noise filters in; mechanical crashes and banging from the mining facilities and factories, the raised voices and haggling of the merchants: the noise of industry. A scream cuts through, some poor soul who strayed too far into the darkened alleys meeting their end. The unfortunate beggars at the sides of the street holding their hands out for coin or card, voices silenced by the factories. Everything comes together amidst the scarlet mist perpetually hanging over everything to form a sprawling, near planet-wide scumpit of underhand activity, gang wars and poverty. Welcome to the Red Gut. Welcome to the heart of Humanity.
RULES:
Don't be mean OOC and try to avoid arguments. You can call for a mod (Myself, places open) to mediate an argument, or take it to PM's if it's personal. Avoid 18+ content and extreme gore. Swearing is permitted, but keep it light and censor F-words and the like with (GP) or (1GP). Avoid potentially upsetting content and mentions of self-harm or su!c!de. Some people get uncomfortable with that. Have fun, and if you aren't having fun during an RP, then feel free to ask the other person to end. To prove you've read the rules, please put the word Iridescence in your first post.
RULES OF CHARACTER CREATION:
Character sheets are not required, but if you do make one or use a monster stat block, the max CR/ level is 4.
Almost everyone in the Red Gut is human, but aliens do live here. If you want to be an alien, keep in mind most humans view aliens as lesser and are racist towards them. There are only 4 lore-established races in this universe: Human, Auretian, Curator and Nosferti. Auretians are modular robots, and the Auretian technocracy is the second largest empire in the galaxy behind the Terran empire. Auretians have no single form, rather they take a different shape based on their role in society. You can play an Auretian, but they are exceedingly rare to find in the Gut. Curators are an ancient race, likely many centuries older than humanity. They reside in massive deep-space citadels and keep to themselves. There is a Curator citadel in the Iri system, but they seldom venture outside and certainly wouldn't be found in the Gut. You cannot play as a curator unless you REALLY REALLY want to, and in that case I might be able to figure something out. Nosferti are humanoids with batlike faces and exceptional senses. They are the main race that comprises the collective pirate fleets know by humanity as the Night Raiders. You cannot play as a Nosferti no matter what.
You can invent alien races for your character, as long as that races features don't make your character ridiculously strong.
DETAILS ABOUT THE SETTING:
The thread is set on the lowest level of the urban mining world Iri Prime, commonly know as the Red Gut because of the scarlet mist that cloaks everything. This mist is a by-product of the refining process of Iridescence, the primary mineral mined here. Iridescence allows travel through Subspace, allowing Humanity to cross near-infinite distances in the blink of an eye. The Terran Empire's monopoly on Iridescence is pretty much the only reason they are still alive, although of course they wouldn't let their citizens know that. There are inns and clubs where characters can meet up, one of the most stable of which being the Nameless Inn, which has the tightest security and least shady activities of all the Inns in the Gut. Of course, it still runs underhand businesses, but who in the Gut isn't at least a bit shady? Your character must start in the Red Gut, but it is possible to leave. How you do that is yours to find out.
An odd, tall figure in a black and gold costume, his hat, a fools cap, the horns of the hat falling nearly to the floor, though the bases seem to be suspended slighty, with small golden bells at the ends, sits in the nameless inn, though no drink is on the table next to him, and his mask gleams in the light, made of a material not recognized. he gazes over the inn, his mask and posture revealing nothing about him
