rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

...with elements of Warframe, Soma, & Interstellar.

Setting
The idea is that characters would wake up in old, decrepit single-occupant escape module on an unknown planet with nothing but an exosuit and wrist communicator which displays only one message: "Find the Atlas."

Characters discover others like themselves in similar worn-down craft and must band together to survive the elements as well as figure out just who and what the "Atlas" is while slowly collecting pieces of the universal "lore" surrounding it. Some alien races believe the Atlas to be an inter-dimensional entity of vast knowledge, others think it bestows one with the chance to create or restore a planet of their very own, essentially making them a God.

While initially confined to a single planet, characters will eventually traverse the stars on their path to find the Atlas while encountering challenges both good and bad, aliens species which can offer aid and insight into the mythos of the galaxy, and the mystery of why and how they came to be in this strange universe.

Misc
-Characters all arrive via broken modules & must be recovered/found by other PCs (can be found in space drifting, on planet etc)
-Universal language of those touched by the Atlas which gives them distinguish in the galaxy (good/bad)
-Powers are not nerfed but instead regulated by exosuit which keeps characters alive: charge the suit, powers available etc
-Death is permanent (save for immortal characters)
-Travel the universe! See the cosmos!
-Get cool space exosuits and tech
-Discover new planets
-Players can choose to find the Atlas, search for their home world, or just hunker down among the stars
-Mixture of sandbox, and exploration/survival/plot
-Themes: Man vs Man, Man vs Nature

Thoughts?

this is really cool imo, but it would need to have some form of power nerfing, otherwise the 'survival'/banding together aspect won't mean much when some people can live without oxygen or fly into space on their own. what did you have in mind?

The exosuit would be necessary for their survival in-game, and in order to use abilities or powers one would have to draw on the energy stored within it to activate them. So if they have no reserves powers can't be used, and if they run out they're incapacitated until someone recovers them or their suit recharges.

Getting off a planet by oneself would require more energy than the suit has.

No Man Sky?

How are dropping/reapping handled with permadeath?

This sounds really cool, I have approximately a billion characters I'd love to throw at it.

Reapps would be allowed within 1 month/app cycle from when the character was dropped in the case of someone picking up a grafter they personally dropped, so long as they have OOC extenuating circumstances. If not the character is considered dropped. Apping and character after this point or as a new player gives te character a fresh slate as they emerge from their stasis pod like normal.

When a character is dropped they "vanish" as far as characters ICly know, with only a trail of footsteps left in their wake whih mysteriously stops after a certain point. It looks as if they just went for a walk and disappeared midstep, but there is a lore-based reason for this!

Also adding for permadeath:

If a character dies they are considered dropped and can no longer be apped by their original player. However, if a new player wishes to app them this is perfectly acceptable and they will be found like all others, inside a stasis pod without any previous memories of the game. Again--plot reasons for this!
