, as long as you're over 18. However, this group will not be using canon characters, and I will only be accepting no more than twelve people. After that, I will make an announcement that the thread is now closed.

 

So to sum things up, the comic is about a large group of drafted individuals working to defend their universe from the aliens known as Colterons. A chosen few teams* on standby have been picked from the Space Station at the edge of the universe and sent off into a sort of mothership called the Sleipnir. The Sleipnir's mission is to invade Colteron territory and ready the troops for battle in their assigned starfighters.

 

* - Individual soldiers are paired together in teams according to rank--navigator**, or fighter***. Each team has a different name for their team, their ship and their individual selves, possibly to protect their identities.

 

** - A Navigator's job is to be the brains as opposed to the brawn of the team, working in technical jobs such as driving and maintaining the stability of their ships, translating documents, and ensuring the team’s safe return after a battle. They are usually found working in the ship's bridge when not in combat.

 

*** - A Fighter's job is the opposite. As the brawns of the team, they are to keep their navigators safe. They are trained to shoot enemy ships on sight when in battle, and to keep themselves in shape thanks to the combat simulators in the depths of the Sleipnir.

 

 

This is already getting a little lengthy, so I'll try to keep the requirements to a minimum.

 

- Obviously this is a rather complicated plot, so I am looking for those who don't mind writing a paragraph or two per post.

- Due to organization purposes, I will be placing all character information in a google document, accessible to everyone.

- There will be a group on Skype set up when I obtain enough people. I have done this once before, and it makes it a lot more fun to plot things out with other members beforehand.

- The roleplaying area itself will be put in a chatroom, such as chatzy.

- Every once in a while, we will be holding events to take a break from the main plot. I find this way it keeps everyone interested longer! Usually this only lasts a day or so, though.

 

Please shoot me a message instead of replying here if you're willing to give this a try, and we'll exchange skypes!
