[FTL RP, WE'RE BACK, REBOOTED!] The Rogue Cadets

[Chickengames]

Now hold on a second here. I still don't know what this "gift" is after reading those posts. And why is this person inside of her, and how is that any advantage?

(ever heard of the fetish vore, basically its her ability to swallow people alive, my guess either to slowly kill a foe and keep you fed (not to mention keep your figure) or perhaps even gain their skills and abilities the more ya do it, kinda like Majin Bu)

The Gift is a disease that turns 50% of your population into murderous monsters and the other 50% into "goddesses" who are then easy to eliminate from orbit because they're too busy doing the whole leading and gathering followers thing to actually do space stuff?

Why would Lux want to do that? And why would being diseased cannibals considered OK? Isn't killing and eating people bad?

[stylesrj]

I'm summarising why it's considered a "disease" for the benefit of Chickengames. The only advantages really are that "It's kinda cool, but weird? But why do that when you can shoot someone with guns or use a sharp object? Hell even fists are practical at this point. Oh god why would anyone want to do this!?"

Also, killing is considered bad. Eating their bodies is considered bad too. But killing bad guys and eating them is a "good but something you'd leave to antiheroes or something" thing

Ok, that explains some stuff.

Meanwhile, on a chair somewhere, Kyrie had finished the drink and was looking at the empty bottle longingly. She dropped the bottle eventually, collected the piece of wood and bag of vrax-something and started to wander again. Her thoughts wandered as well, her mind drifting from depression to ecstasy to violent anger for reasons she couldn't explain. Eventually her emotions settled down and Kyrie realized her feet hurt. She looked down, then remembered she had traded her shoes for booze. She kept walking, though, seeming not to care. I bet my homeless look is better than ever. All I need now is an STD.

Finding her way back to the main area, she noticed a stall advertising "Body Enhancements and Decorations." Intrigued, she approached the booth and saw a rock getting a design chiseled into his forehead by a slug and a human having their hand replaced with a robotic one. A number of designs and biotechnology were on display, some hugely expensive. Most of the lower price ones were tattoos, brands, or piercings. For humans at least. She called over the keeper and asked for a tattoo of Enceladus, the moon she grew up on, covering her back. The bag of whatever drug was enough to pay. While it was being done, she was laying on her stomach, with a good view of the main area. Kyrie thought back to before they had stolen the Robin, before the academy, to when she was living in that house on Enceladus. Her dad was sitting in a plush chair, her and her brothers sitting on the floor around him, listening to stories. It was since then he had hinted at humans making all the important discoveries and "doing the real work." She remembered he had gradually amped up the human supremacy thing more and more until she went to the federation academy. She learned there that what he had said was wrong, but had never told her friends about what he had said. When she heard that he had defected to the rebels along with her two older brothers, she had told no one. If I say they were all great federation officers, maybe that will be believable. They say if you think it enough you'll start to believe it too, right? That's what she had always thought. It never worked. As the needle buzzed away, she drifted to sleep with the past on her mind.

Don't know bout that. Killing bad guys and eating their dead bodies sounds to me like a "Oh my god, what the hell is wrong with you, stay away from me" sort of thing. Also, props for creativity

Bren sighed as he returned, strange things in the galaxy for sure, when he noticed Gordan leaving the ship

"So finished already?" he asked

"Yeah I did, listen you wouldn't happen to have a mechanic on that ship would ya?" he asked

'No why?" he asked

"Well I asked Ruwen what you guys were doing here, just making conversation and he explained your little plan" he said

Bren's face turned white, he should have realized that they should have mentioned to Ruwen that this mission was a secret one

"I..umm don't know what you are talking abo-"

'Its ok, I'm not gonna rat you out...I think what you are doing is good, so I'm gonna do this, if you want, I could either come along to help or maybe give ya a tool kit to at least help maintain everything, free of charge of course, I just want to help. Its all up to you Captain" he said

Bren gulped, he didn't know what he wanted to do....he didn't know if he could trust this slug...he did help and seemed geniune but he didn't know...

(so yeah up to you guys, mind me having another NPC to control, or perhaps we just get the tool kit to basically do work on our own, but less likely to be as helpful given our lack of skills...minus WOL of course)

Lux look at Jake and then back at Eden. "When do I get started with this... training?"
Eden said "Whenever you feel up to it. We'll be at this docking bay. Let us know when you're ready to depart"
She looked to Morgan "I'll have my Bosun liaise with your ships so we can co-ordinate our efforts against the Rebels."
"That I will" the pirate replied with a rather... half-assed salute before laughing and looking towards Jake. "Don't worry, I won't eat ye while the Captain isn't around. I do have some standards"

Lux said to Jake "I guess we're really doing this, eh? Then again, not like we could back out... I mean we are getting some allies out of this..."

Jake pulled Lux away from the others, speaking in a low voice. "Lux, do YOU want to do this? The training may be intense, we don't know much about these people. Is this something that YOU feel comfortable with? I don't want you to feel obligated by anything, we could walk away right now."

I don't want you to control 3 separate characters. For now, the max characters for each player should be 2, three is too much. We don't want some people to have one character and others to have three!
It'd be a little unfair/too much.

Would anybody else (with only one character) want to play the Slug mechanic? (Sorry Bren, but three characters is just too much for one person. Two characters max, for now. I think y'all see what I mean. )
