Those that managed to escape from the tyranny and toxicity on Earth now have to deal with inhumane research facilities, space pirates, and a war raging between two empires. While one country has found a new home on a terraforming Mars and has dreams of turning it into the paradise that Earth once was, it’s a twisted paradise at best, a world where only some are free and mages are bred for slavery. It seems that nowhere in the universe is safe and yet there still lies that certain hope that someday, somewhere, those that lost their home will find a new one—if they can survive long enough to look.

Times seem bleak, and tensions run high, yet even among all the filth there is beauty. The Earth may be dying and individuality with it, but here and there lie small pockets of paradise among the ruins. There are sacred places on the Earth where green foliage still grows and the water is pure, though they are few and far between and said to be only rumors. And no matter how ugly humanoid nature can be, there is still room for honor and sacrifice, for as one saying goes:

Remnants of the Earth is an original sci-fi fantasy RPG based off of the game Spirits of the Earth and set over five thousand years into the future from that setting. However, you do not need to be familiar with SotE to be able to play here at RotE; the game is meant to stand on its own.

The game-play is free-form, meaning you’re in charge of your character and its destiny. This is a very open setting and creativity is fully encouraged, so don’t be afraid to branch out, take chances, and help develop the universe your characters live in; new areas will always be added and expanded upon. This is a game that welcomes and respects all players of all skill levels and backgrounds and the focus is on story-telling and character development—it isn’t a game about winning or losing or about who has the most powerful character on the site, but it is about creating fun plots and characters and trying new things. All original characters are welcome here whether they be animal, humanoid, or totally made up on the fly.

So go ahead and read up and join up and if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask. And last but not least (and no matter how terribly cliché it is)—have fun!

Current Events # 2

Nov 15, 2009 - 3:39pm

AEDOLIS:
Aedolis is experiencing a period of calm after all of the Gospel drama. In the meantime, there are a few fun events going on:

The Candidate War Games are going on!
If you have a Pilot Candidate and want to participate, check out this thread for details and team information. If you're already signed up, go ahead and let's get started! =D

It's also a holiday!
Aedolis is celebrating a centuries old tradition in honor of the equinox: a costume party! So dress up your characters, start up some threads, and let's get this party started! ;D

• The Pilots will be having an exclusive party in one of the Citadel's ballrooms, open only to Pilots and Stage 5 candidates.
• Stage 1 - 4 candidates will be allowed to throw their own parties in the ATC.
• Those aren't the only parties going on, though! Haviah will be jumping with social events and festivities.

Will the peace last? Probably not. The Gospels and the Initiative are always up to something.


TEINAR:
The Aedolian military has withdrawn, and life has largely returned to normal--which is not to say it's safe. The Upper City and wastelands are still crawling with beasts and mutants, and various Hunter Outfits have been organized to deal with the issue.


SPACE STATION CANCER:
Things are pretty mellow here right now! But there's always room for drama. ;D


SPACE STATION LIBRA:
Squadron 77 is hoppin' and busy zappin' bugs in space! Otherwise, it's business as usual here. We need more Librans, though! Squadron 77 is always looking for crew, and we need some civilians too! :3


THANATOS INC.:
Tensions are a wee bit high among the researchers of TRIM as the president has arrived for an inspection. No one quite seems to know what to expect. Could change be on the way for TRIM?

The institute is also experiencing a distressing shortage of psychic subjects at this time, due in part to the success many recent Pilot candidates have had in passing the training program. No doubt as the latest group makes its way through the program, some will fail and TRIM will see an increase in subjects. If the situation does not right itself soon, however, the institute may have to seek other means of obtaining material.

We has a wiki! 8D

Jun 21, 2009 - 5:02pm

That's right! We do!

See?! See?! Right here!

Awesomesauce, eh? xD Feel free to expand upon it and add articles and stuff, and heck, if you have any ideas for it, feel free to share 'em! ^_^ It's definitely in raw form right now and it needs some lovin's.

All the former country info can be found here. It's still being transferred over to the wiki and expanded upon, and once that is done, the webpage versions will be condensed and summarized while the wiki will be used for the super hyper detailed nitty gritty stuff. ^_^ This is so as to make RotE more user-friendly (and less overwhelming) for a new player just getting their feet wet.

Initiative Timeline (OOC)

May 23, 2009 - 10:30pm

An OOC Current Events post to make the Initiative arc more ordered and accessible. Since it looks like this plotline might span a larger portion of the site than expected, I'll provide aggregate updates from RP threads (The Initiative, Neel's transportation, etc.), private discussion among the factions (Subnetwork and Seeker Channel) and background information (news outlets such as The Sylph Report, The Citizen, and Justified Poetics).

Thursday - D0409, 0710: Test injection of psychic suppression agent.
Subject Satro Marival's memory erased to prevent leak of identifying Gospel information.

Saturday - D0523, 2028: Gospel Subnetwork: Concerns raised over Initiative involvement w/cure.
Indigo proposes additional involvement with sympathetic Pilots and citizens. Chimera notes progress in the collaboration with Poet, while Sylph warns against revealing too much.

Saturday - D0523, 2056: Satro Marival found by Initiative, no longer able to channel psychic ability.
In addition to asking to meet Chimera, Poet schedules next week's Wrong Way Club meeting at Synesthesia.

[OOC, the Wrong Way meeting will likely be an open thread and an important event and will occur in about a week. Would your character go? Out of idealism, seeking employment, or on orders from the Citadel? See the plotting thread.]

Aedolis updates! 8D

Apr 04, 2009 - 3:43am

Just added some stuff to the Aedolis info, for clarification's sake. :3

There's a new section in the Candidate section about candidate rules and expectations, and two tiny sections under the Pilot sections about public perception and code of conduct. Yep yep! That's all for now!
