A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, the RP Super Boarding School became overrun with Sci Fi. After agreeing that it was not the same RP any more, Siphon and I decided to break off and form a Sci Fi RP based on, but not directly connected to, Super Boarding School.
Here's how shit works:
Any character in Super Boarding School can appear in this RP, and Vice Versa.
The Character does not have to switch between RPs, i.e. a character that is in space does not count as not being at the school. Characters can be in both RPs at once.
Character development is shared between the two RPs. However, just because a character is an alien species in the Sci Fi, that does not mean they are necessarily aliens in the school. For example, Coraxus and Vulkoran, in the Sci Fi splinter, are Tiberions. However, this is not necessarily true in the school. They are simply described as having arrived in the school under mysterious circumstances, and no-one knows where they came from. You can choose however, to make your character an alien in the school as well. Siphon is an example of this.
Due to the nature of SBS, characters may have abilities/"Powers". This could be a simple abnormality as in the case of Coraxus and Vulkoran, or it could simply be due to their species and/or technology, as in the case of Siphon.
A character designed for the Sci Fi that appears in the school must keep Sci Fi elements to a minimum. They may also need to consult Nunu on what their characters are able to do regarding abilities. For the Sci Fi there aren't really any limits, but that doesn't mean you can godmod. Siphon and I should ideally be thought of as the GM's, though that doesn't mean we'll godmod either.
A charcater designed for the school that appears in the Sci Fi must have a means of doing so. This either means you can write them a Sci Fi background, or just hitch a lift with an existing Sci Fi character, eg Siphon taking Sho for a ride.
You can bring in elements from any Sci Fi universe. Currently we focus mainly on Stargate (curtiosy of Siphon) and Warhammer 40K (from Me). You can even make up your own races and technology, as I have done with the Tiberions. However, there are some 'rules'. You should ideally be able to provide as much information as you can about anything you bring in. This is especially the case in bringing in elements of an existing Sci Fi universe, as we need to merge it with the universes already involved. Merging Stargate and WH40K has been relatively easy for the most part. However, bring in (for example) the Star Wars universe, and stuff may start to get complicated. This is why we need as much information as possible. Most universes like StarGate, WH40K, Star Wars, Star Trek etc all have their own 'wikia', so try there if you're stuck.
The Sci Fi Rp runs in the form of a series of Story Arcs. We were in the process of rounding off the current arc, and will resume directly from there. We've planned several Arcs to come after this, so if you want to plan one for the furture, feel free. Just let us know, and we'll add you to the queue. We like to have a bit of information on the Arc, but don't give too much away. Don't plan it out in too much detail either, just get a rough idea. This helps make it an actual RP, instead of just posting a story.
It will help dramatically if you have MSN. Siphon and I use it frequently to discuss the RP and what's going to happen, as well as details regarding the merging of multiple universes. It's much easier than talking through PMs or the LM Chat.
Here's what a character should ideally look like:
Name:
Age: (can be almost anything depending on species)
Species: (Can make up your own, or use an existing one. Existing species can be brought in from films, video games, comics, anything.)
Powers/Abilities (if any): (Again, this can be pretty much anything. For example, if your species is large and possesses great physical strength, mention that. Maybe they have some kind of Psychic ability? It could be as simple as a series of notes about the species and what it's capable of.)
Ship: (Basic info on your character's ship, if it has one. The name, armaments, rough size etc are all examples. We don't demand a great deal of information, and again there aren't too many limits, but ideally as much as possible is best.)
This, I believe, about covers it. If Siphon (or Nunu) has anything to add or change, I will be editing this, so check for updates every now and again.
