Hi, The character I would like to try is a ship built by an alien race over 10,000 years ago. They're now extinct but the ship has been alone for all that time. She is now searching for a crew.
That in itself would be cool. Having the personality of the ship as one of the main characters - and the dominant one - would be very decent and a very interesting concept.
However - you have given us almost no details.
You had effectively asked for the creation of an ancient race for the sole purpose of creating this ship - and presumably this ship is extremely power. We have recently made a decision that new people will not be able to create new races - at least I think that's what we decided, and so even if you were to give us far more details than you have so far the likelyhood is still no.
Other than that - it's very nice to meet you Brian. Create a character and join a plot ship - RP with us for a few months and then we'll talk about you creating a new race. A plotship might follow.
This seems way too special to be allowed, period. If you wanted to have your character be the MEGAMI on a future plotship, that'd be one thing.
But asking to create something like what you've dscribed is completely out of hand. Sorry, but there's just no way we could let you be something that powerful.
I also blame her for everything bad in the world, since she's the resident Goddess. Incidentally, I don't blame you for rejecting the position. It comes with a lot of scapegoat work.
I might allow it. I'm always open to new ideas. The ship would have to be approved, though. The main thing for you, Brian, is "would a ship make a good character to play?" After all, it might be difficult to interact normally with other characters - not to mention there's a war going on and a ship with 10,000-year-old tech would likely be an easy target for people who were looking for quick material resources...
The Abwehrans would definitely take it, that's for sure. They're sorta desperate for tech at the moment so they can at least become a viable minor power.
