I am a returning player who has played on and off over the last five years or so with many different characters and accounts (which I have lost from continuous pc wiping etc). After bumping into the lovely guys at [HF] yesterday I decided to come and say hi and also ask a question about RP and some specific details if that is okay, as I don't want to break any rules.
I wanted to RP as a Hogosha alongside my generic/traditional characters (Such as Kusari Trader) but Hogosha is of course one of the beautiful Quasi-Legal IDs that I always loved lorewise. I am aware of the specific unlawful acts in their zone of influence and so forth but one of my planned Hogosha characters is possibly pushing the boundaries of the ID so I just wanted to clarify my RP/Ideas and get some feedback and check legality of it.
Characters planned so far include;
-Hogosha Artifact Smuggler flying a Raba
-Hogosha Peacekeeper (Cough*) flying a black dragon
-Legitimate Junker Scrap miner/trader (Cough*cough)
Current characters
- Takeo.Masakari - Generic Freelancer trader- soon to be samura (if you saw me yesterday I was mining in Penny)
So a little RP behind my characters ( and future ones ).
My current character is Takeo.Masakari, a freelance trader trying to make an honest living outside of Kusari space, away from the internal politics of the submissive Kusari Republic following the war with Galia, and also away from family affairs. Takeo is adopted officially, but is actually the son of a high up Hogosha 'official', who was conceived in an unlikely love affair that would have jeopardized his father’s career if it was put down officially. Not much is known about Takeo's mother on official records, and she was never mentioned to him growing up, but every time Takeo asked about her he would be severely punished by his Father.
Given the name Takeo, he was expected to carry on the legacy of his father, as a Hogosha peacekeeper seeking to empower and aid the Kusari people, and was given the skills and worldly experience needed to thrive there, but ultimately fled in the midst of the Kusari- Gallic to seek an honest life, free from crime and his father's shadow. His younger brother Kenshin, a peacekeeper of the Hogosha, who was born to a Kusari mother, tried to stop him from leaving, and intercepted him in a Black Dragon at the Kyushu Jump Hole in Shikoku, but let his brother go to seek a better life away from his father's shadow and the war. Kenshin also informed Takeo that his adoptive mother was in fact Kenshin's actual mother, but not Takeo, and that his real mother was alive elsewhere.
So the character in question for rules/ID etc will be :
the father- Kojuro.Masakari, flying a Luxury 'Geisha' Liner- Sakura on behalf of the Hogosha. Tasked with transporting a variety of wealthy (and in some cases dangerous) Kusari persons and their belongings to several destinations ‘Sightseeing’ and experiencing different cultures. The destinations include the outer regions of Kusari space- the taus and sigmas and to several of Liberties planets. Note- some of the passengers may be carrying certain illegal items on behalf of Hogosha for the welfare of the Kusari Republic but this ship will primarily be transporting people.
I wanted to question the legality of this? And if it is okay to do with RP or if it is just like...a no go.
Thanks for reading and I look forward to seeing you guys in space.
Welcome back! Make sure to give a look at the Rules - the link's in my signature.
Also, since you want to roleplay as an Hogosha, there is the Hogosha Association official faction for you if you wanna join one. [HA] Recruitment Thread - use the template!
Other than this, well...Enjoy your return!
