What do you call yourself? Wolf or Pizza Overlord(but that's when i'm hungry hehe)

How'd you find Star Army? Through the website TVTropes

What interested you in joining? My undying love of space opera and sci fi military. Also the incredibly extensive world depth and lore.

Ever done this text-based roleplaying thing before? Never, it's my first time doing something like this.

Any previous experiences you want to share? Well I have played in the past D&D, so I'm not entirely new to the whole roleplaying genre.

Now for the questionnaire!

Do you prefer:
  • Playing male, female, or other-gendered characters? Male, but perhaps in the future with new characters, who knows?
  • Spontaneous or planned RP? I would like to experience both first to have a better picture.
  • Military or civilian characters? Military, definitely. The only exception for me would be a sorta space cop deal.
  • Humans, androids, anthros, or aliens? Human for first time, later who knows?
  • Being on a starship or being on a planet? Both.
  • Roleplay via forum posts or in real-time? I would like to experience both first to have a better picture.
On a scale of 1 to 3, what's your preferred level of these in your RP:
  • Language: 2 to 3
  • Violence: 2 to 3
  • Sexuality: 2 to 3
What's something cool you'd love to RP? The basics of space opera and military sci-fi. Action, romance, humour, drama, rising through the ranks and holding respect from your fellow soldiers. Philophical ponderings about what's right and wrong. Cool spaceships and power armor! Exploring what the universe and what it has to offer!
So.., I guess a little bit of everything.:)
 
Heya! Welcome to SARP! Looking at what you've said, you'll probably like Yamatai and Nepleslia-based plots a lot! I'd personally recommend the YSS Kaiyo by @Ametheliana , as well as possibly even the YSS Eucharis ran by the big cool dude @Wes - both are Yamataian plots that sorta do that classic "one starship exploring space, being super awesome" thing to their hearts.


If you do have any questions, feel free to ask them! The wiki can be pretty confusing to most new people, but generally, getting involved on a discussion somewhere on the forums or on the Discord server can streamline things!
 
I actually recommend Nepleslia more, on the basis we're gearing up to have a few new plots launching soon that would make prime real-estate for newer members. But I'm also biased because I'm the FM of Nepleslia.

Hope you enjoy your stay on SARP, tho.
 
Welcome!

Congratulations on finding one of the most friendliest (if not the friendliest) place on the interwebs!

As Arbitrated stated, Ametheliana runs the YSS Kaiyo as well as the YSS Hana, both of which are actually accepting new people and are about to begin missions (Kaiyo already started), so now is a good time to think about joining those plots if you're interested so you can either hop in (Hana is best to just hop in. It's Taco Time at the moment with ice cream dessert :3) or wait for the mission to finish so you can get a feel for the RP. Depends all on how you RP. I'll also be more than happy to hop in a Discord or Skype chat and help you make a character for a plot you want to join (As long as it's Nep or Yam, not too familiar with the other factions).

If you have ANY questions about the Wiki, creating a character, joining a plot, etc, don't hesitate to ask me or any of the FMs/GMs. I'm currently in the Kaiyo and Hana, with a new character in the NSMC 309th, a heavy combat-based plot if you're interested in that and at least 18 years old.

Again, welcome to SARP! I know you'll love it, and if not then bring it up with someone and we can find a way to improve the situation :D.

P.S. Click the yellow words in a forum post. They are embedded links to the subject which is highlighted. Happy roleplaying!
P.P.S On the wiki, the words will be highlighted pink, not yellow, that are links to other portions of the wiki.
 
Hello I'm a FM of USO and a GM around here. I do both miltant and civilian plots, with ISS-BRIMSTONE and Section 6 for the 188604 plot. Since you like military, Section 6 has a department called SABER, which is a special operations unit. I accept any character and try to work with my players to better enhance their rp experience.

Ame also as mentioned runs great starter plots as well. She is a good GM and I always try to take notes. Please message me if you have any questions, or need help with anything.
 
Now that you've been here for a while, any feedback or suggestions? Anything I can help with?
 
There's nothing to feedback on, everything's already great if you ask me. Can't wait for my first mission. Everybody been so helpful. Thanks for asking.
There is one thing you can help with. I am planning for my character Klaus Kurogane to change occupation from Infantry to Military Police, later on. If you could clarify for me what are my options and technicalities it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Being a military police officer is kind of uncharted territory, as I think only one other player has even attempted it. Basically you can be anywhere that makes sense (that is, any Star Army of Yamatai plot/RP) with an MP but in terms of what function the character will serve in the adventure is something you'll want to figure out with the plot's GM so the character is provided with the opportunity to usefully shine.
 
Someone say military police? I'm the guy who recreated the article about them and pumped out all the laws and things xD

The MP has a lot of potential for things you can be doing, you can even be a captain's bodyguard / security advisor (I have 3 MP characters doing separate things) but checking with your GM is always the best thing to do :)

@Kim and I have been historically the only two people to try an MP character (it's quite a niche area and was only recently updated :p but they've appeared in NPC roles every now and again too) so if you have any questions about it feel free to hit me up here or on Discord! Enjoy and welcome!
