Star Wreck'd (OOC) ["M"] (Back, but still Open.)

[Inumo]

... Is he a time lord?

[Draken]

I hope not.  They tend to draw Daleks.  And my char would become enamored with how they say what they say. >.>

Also:  Yay for continuations!  Boo that I spent the day heavy lifting and searching...but yay nonetheless.  *Yawn*  No luck on getting any character thoughts tonight, but maybe by tommorrow night.  Ach.  Also, PLEASE use my char as seen fit, so long as it remains in Character.  Just don't put him into stasis lock.  Meany has that honor, with certain events.

[Dekari]

... Is he a time lord?

Ehhh.....no.

For player knowledge, Dresdan is the last "being" in existence at the end of the universe.  I'm not talking the go out as far as you can till you hit the edge and that's where you will find him.  No, I mean "THE" end.  The end of time, the end of space, the end of creation....at the end of everything, he is all that is left in the darkness that was the universe......well him and a 1/4 mile diameter rock with a ten foot by ten foot by ten foot porcelain white building on it, but that part doesn't matter yet.  What this makes him is to be left to the imagination.  If you ask him what he is, he will probably question you "What am I not?".  The only thing he has ever said to anyone that may give some clue as to who or what he is is, "I am like an artist staring at a blank canvas but with not the paints needed to make my masterpiece.  It's maddening to know the kind of powers that I can behold but to not have the power with which to use them."

No, he is not a god.  He is mortal....sort of.  He can die (and has on more than one "trip"), but he will just wake up back in the place he came from (that white building on the rock I mentioned) with a very odd craving for deep fried spam and chocolate pudding.  He doesn't have any kind of "supernatural" powers (that he knows of or is able to use), but he does have an intellect that expanses all periods of time and multiple universes....weather or not he can actually remember stuff when he needs it is a different matter all together.



So to say the least, what he can be is anyones guess.  The only that really knows is him....and he's not saying.

*gets up off the floor*

*brushes self off*

I love you Azlan, er, Captain Fourth Wall, esq.

*chuckles some more before wandering off*

[Inumo]

Posted. Sorry That_wolf, Jason just seems to have a bad habit of finding you in bad situations.

[Drayco84]

Oh, that reminds me...

That_Wolf, Ash can come out of the closet-thing any time now. The notes I left should still be valid.

[That_wolf]

Sorry that I've been afk a bit, mytime's taking a hitdue to football starting to gain speed. I'll figure out how often I can come on, soon, though.

[Draken]

Woo, postage do.  See what I did there?

Anyways.  Have fun with that, Drayco.

[Inumo]

Galician looks a lot like Spanish...

[Draken]

Eh, what google translate said.   

[AmberCross]

And I am officially leaving. I may drop by periodically during the week, but not enough for my character to be readily accessible. But then, I already took care of that ^.^

Are you quitting this RP, or just taking a temporary leave?

He's leaving on a vacation for a week. See this post and everything since, where he was looking for a way to explain his absence.
(He found one, btw.)

Thank you Hapless, you summed that up pretty well. I'm still on vacation on borrowed internet (my appartment doesn't even have PHONE signal O_o) so I don't have enough time to pull Chris out of stasis, but I did have a brainstorm about a potential power for chris that I'm rather fond of. Prepare for text splurge below.

As previously mentioned, Chris' species has a knack for dimensional stuff. And I don't mean alternate dimensions with people and stuff like Jenny Everywhere, but mostly like literal dimensions. Specifically where I'm going with this (this time) is the ability to make holes in reality. They don't really go anywhere, but he would essentially pull reality apart to make a hole and be able to push it closed again. To most people, this hole may as well not exist. They wouldn't see it, they'd walk through it and bend with reality around the hole. For Chris however, this bent space becomes straight for him and he can put things through said hole. To others it would look like anything he puts in the hole just collapses into a point (or a line or something depending on hole shape) and then just disappear.

These holes would be stationary for the most part (it is very hard to move a hole) and tend to anchor in reality. As the solar system is in constant motion, it's practical to define reality in a way that keeps it anchored relatively rather than abstractly. Thus this species (I really need to think of a name other than Nikitak which is rapidly becoming something completely different) defines reality in orientation to forces, most commonly gravity. Thus when a hole is made on a planet, it stays put. Therefore it's generally impractical to make permanent holes on a ship because the moment they encounter a planet's stronger gravity, the hole gets displaced and starts falling behind, eventually anchoring in some random place you passed through on the planet. Kind of like when you pour water into oil, the oil gets displaced by the water and then the same water might be displaced by dirt (I dunno, a star I guess). Funky things happen when the gravity is about equal, but other forces can hold it in place. Anchoring in a person is one of the few ways to make a hole mobile, but not terribly much would FIT in a person.

Which brings me to what I believe is the last point of this. When there is very little reality (outer space maybe) you can make a hole easily, but since the 'lid' of the hole is made of this same not very dense reality, it's difficult to keep stuff in that hole because reality seeks reality and can push itself back into reality by buoyancy as easily as Chris was able to push it under. Ironically the easiest thing to keep in a closed hole is the most difficult to keep in an open hole because materials that aren't terribly dense are also hard to push into the hole in the first place. Ex: Chris could try putting himself in the hole, but would have to constantly keep himself there like swimming as if keeping himself under water. However it would be very difficult for him to breathe because it's hard to push air into void when it's constantly pouring back into reality.

Yay text splurge! *cough* >.> Anyway, I'll be back on Friday probably.


EDIT: All right, so last time I didn't have time to finish reading and no one's posted since three days ago, so time for an edit! Wow hey that's even longer than I remember posting. Got back a day early though. As for Dekari, your character seems an awful lot like a timelord without a TARDIS. Somehow I expect you'll be filling a similar role. As for the reality hole thing, I should probably also mention that Chris' pockets are a more technilogically advanced version of that which is difficult to make.

Drayco, I think one important thing to keep in mind is that even in an RP like this, you should try to respect the players in it. It's one thing to do cruel and horrible things to players who didn't take precautions and especially those who allow for it to happen, but when a player specifically sets things up in a reasonable manner to avoid a certain danger you should generally respect that. That's what annoyed Squirrel so much I think. Just try not to undermine characters in their strong suits because then you take away their control and the RP becomes more of a show than a play. I would also like to state for the record that I entered this expecting a certain amount of slapstick comedy, but also a certain amount of serious character interaction. There's only so long you can be amused by hitting the jester with a creme pie after all and I'm in definite favor of this being 'happy go lucky band of adventurers' type thing. Quite frankly I've viewing this as a Star Trek parody kind of like how Space Balls was a Star Wars parody. Yes insanity happens, but there's also significant characters behind it.

TL;DR version...

• I left, but I'm back now.
• My character has dimensional affinity.
• Dekari may say that's not a timelord but I think it's much the same.
• I pretty much agree with the general statements earlier made by Azlan and Inumo.

[Drayco84]

   Alrighty everyone... I'm going to a family event tomorrow (Saturday.) with relatives that normally act like I don't exist... This is rather hard as I'm 6' tall IRL, but they manage...
  So, late tomorrow or hopefully the next day I'll be updating the plot. If certain people want to hurry up and escort a certain lost stowaway to the brig, they'd better hurry up and do it. Or, if AC wants to get his character out of suspended animation, now would also be a good time.

  And Azlan, so about how long of a "detour" do you wish to take? Minimum travel time is a week. Heck, I never even said that you HAD to even attempt the mission, but obviously, the Alliance doesn't like deserters... (Everyone remembers the big, super-cool ship, right? Yeah, the crew for that one is both competent AND loyal...) On the other hand, I'm not going to forbid anybody from looking up the Vux on the Star Control Wiki...

EDIT: Hoo boy... What a typo... My sincerest apologies...

[AmberCross]

Well that's somewhat ironic... I have a family event tomorrow too ^.^ There will be presents... and food... no cake though, I dislike cake.

*waltzes off singing ♫♪Happy Birthday to me♪♫*

[hapless]

   Alrighty everyone... I'm going to a family event tomorrow (Saturday.) with relatives that normally act like I don't exist... This is rather hard as I'm 6' tall IRL, but they manage...

Blargh, that sucks... sorry...

Or, if AC wants to get her character (...)

Wait, what? *snickers* You may want to check this...

There will be presents... and food... no cake though, I dislike cake.

"The Enrichment Center is required to remind you that you will be baked, and then there won't be cake"?

[Azlan]

  And Azlan, so about how long of a "detour" do you wish to take?

I leave that up to the discretion of the pilot.  Locklear would want enough time for everyone to figure out how the ship functions at least.

[Draken]

Well, it had to happen some day.  The sheer lack of chaos in my posts has killed the RP.   

I apologize folks  >.>

[VAE]

oh did it?
I am in want to post some time... i  guess when i finish catching up on OSaS which should be quite shortly. I have been more busy than expected these days

[AmberCross]

Actually I still want Chris in stasis longer so when he wakes up he'll have missed more than just a single change of cast. That and I'm moving into college this week...

[Inumo]

I'm trying to figure out what the heck to do with Jason right now. Probably gonna start inventing machines that he can discover in the med-bay, like a drawer that leads to an extra-dimensional copy of the ship.

[That_wolf]

Imuno, I'm back, so once Jason's free, help Ash into a shower, and help him eat. He's going to crawl out, once you're ready.

[Inumo]

Jason's free whenever. He forgot about calling the crew down for physicals, and that can wait until I feel like it (like half-way through some random mission).

[Drayco84]

QUICK! NOBODY PUT TINFOIL IN THE MICROWAVE!

http://www.cracked.com/article_18699_6-baffling-flaws-in-famous-sci-fi-technology.html

That is all.

[AmberCross]

Yes... tinfoil in the microwave is bad. >.>

Anyway, I'm starting to think this isn't moving fast enough that me waiting for significant in story advancement to release Chris is going to be impractical. Which leads me to the question... how would he get out? Would he wake up after a while and be able to get out? Would the stasis automatically release him at some point? Or would I require outside assistance? Whatever the case may be, I have an idea, but I need to know how these stasis pods work before I get him out of there.

[Chairtastic]

Oh, he's in a stasis pod?   And here I've been waiting a couple weeks for you to post.

Anyhoo, to the postmobile!

[AmberCross]

That's why you make sure to read other people's posts silly ^.^

[VAE]

That's why you make sure to read other people's posts silly ^.^

How do you read a post silly?

[AmberCross]

You read them so often and from different computers that the post literally gets dizzy from being read too much.

[Drayco84]

Just have him wake up to find that the power supply on the stasis pod is sparking and smoking.

[AmberCross]

I suppose that works as well as anything, though the thought of the escape pods being malfunctional is kind of scary...

[hapless]

And very, very in-spirit of this
