Lune Space Station Rules Of Play
Lune Space Station is a derelict, scientific research and experimental station set in the distant future and galaxy. The precise year and location as compared to modern La Lune Parish is unknown. The station is exceptionally old and has begun to deteriorate, despite outward appearances. Clean, futuristic and modern, the LSS looks pretty but underneath the pristine surface, it’s rotting. Most operational systems are either already or on the verge of malfunctioning. The few systems that are still working are doing so at very low power and efficiency. Life on LSS can end at any moment.
This is a sci-fi/cyberpunk dystopian setting where cooperation through teamwork and collaboration will be required for the survival of all. The station will always be on the brink of failure, disaster, or destruction in one manner or another. The group can only survive if the individuals find a way to thrive, and vice versa. This truly is an all-for-one and one-for-all setting. Quests and missions will be part of daily life. Do you have what it takes to ensure the future of the station, or will you be the one who sabotages the group?
General rules of procedure:
- What happens at LSS stays at LSS and cannot be used within LLP RP.
- You are free to add your character’s experiences at LSS to their future backstory.
- ALL characters must be 18+ no exceptions.
- All characters begin with a specific, basic set of skills in accordance to their associated role. Opportunities to advance current or basic skills will be presented with missions, quests, and RP rewards. Crew leaders will be responsible for these, however engagement and suggestions are welcomed.
- Reasonable exceptions due to character experience and background can be made upon approval from each Crew Leader.
- All quests must be fully written and reported in the Quest channel, or given in note card NC form to the Crew Leader. No evidence, no quest success or reward!
- Quests can range from simple and quick individual tasks to complicated events requiring multiple participants.( see Quest guidelines for more information)
- Due to extreme limitations of tech, supplies, tools, and weapons at the starting point of the LSS plot; all such items must be approved before use. Otherwise, they can only be used once found or acquired through RP missions and routine quests. Please do not turn up with a full arsenal. They will be confiscated and held with the Security Lead.
- Reasonable exceptions can be made depending on the means of arrival to the LSS, character backstory, and introductory story arc upon admin approval.
- The nature of internal atmospheric pressurization, the vacuum created by space, and the potential of catastrophic hull/glass penetration, we cannot permit the use of projectile weapons using bullets, missiles, grenades, or anything that would endanger the already volatile situation within the station.
- Taser stun weapons will be the earliest allowed manner of armament.
- Sci-fi/cyberpunk blaster pistols and rifles will eventually be made available through RP.
- Low-powered projectile weapons such as bows, dart guns, slings, etc will be permitted but must be acquired through RP unless pre-approved by admin or Security lead.
- Throwing weapons such as daggers, darts, knives, axes, etc are permitted upon approval or RP acquisition.
- Blunted and bladed weapons are permitted. These can be automatically approved via a new intake character’s back story, or by acquisition through RP (either created or found)
- All weapon acquisitions must be documented in the RP channels. You cannot suddenly pull a katana out of your back pocket just because.
- Until economic situations upon the LSS improve, the station will run on a ration and barter system. There will be no commercial monies in place. Food is rationed for the foreseeable future and will be given when required within daily needs for sustenance only. Everything beyond that must be acquired through full RP
- Living pods are private and are not for general RP unless directly invited by the tenants.
- Breaking into the LSS is difficult, you must provide at least 3 detailed para posts to attempt this.
Original LLP character cross-over:
- Original characters from LLP appearing on the LSS are magically crafted copies or clones. They are the same, yet different.
- The copies have full range memories of their LLP versions. Thus allowing knowledge of future RP events in LLP to have an effect on RP at the LSS.
- Use or creation of such memories on LLP will be considered a form of Metagaming, as the LLP versions will not have generated them yet. ALL memories are lived experiences.
- Memories of major events from LLP can only be applied at the LSS once they have been played out. Even if applied at the LSS as a sudden recollection after the fact to allow for changes of relationship details and character traits.
- Minor memories that do not significantly change RP plots, arcs, tones, or themes are allowed.
- Interpersonal memories between characters are also allowed, as long as both (all) parties agree to them.
- Physical alterations due to LLP events after arrival at the LLS will be null and void due to prior copying. Exceptions can be made upon request and approval.
New intake LSS characters:
- All new arrivals must go through the intake process (see separate guidelines and explanation)
- Basic information:
- New intake characters specifically to the LSS without prior LLP history will have no memory of LLP. LLP simply does not exist for you.
- New characters are allowed their own backstory that fits the LSS sci-fi/cyberpunk setting, but must begin their RP arcs at their time of arrival.
- All new intake characters will be provided with the starting LSS space suit (available for male and female characters). Common clothing is acceptable as long as it fits the setting, and you have a RP reason for having it. Space suits will be required for any external missions or tasks. Situations will arise requiring the LSS suits within the station for survival or safety sake.
- All new arrivals will be offered bunk accommodation, living pods are reserved for those who are actively involved in LSS RP.
- Contact Luna SmolderNova if you require an on-sim home, as other rentals can be made available.
