Hello everyone and welcome to the information thread for the story Unknown Void. What this story aims to be is a community led story about the OCV Montana after its is stranded deep into unknown space after using an unknown Alien jumpgate. The crew of the Montana must find their way back to Sirius hopefully in one peace.
My intent for this story is to create a fun story actively for some of the community to take part in and for the rest to enjoy. if you have played "FTL" or any rogue like then you will have a good idea on how this story will go. I invite people to join the crew of the Montana and make a character that interact and contribute to the narrative. as of now we have (5) premade characters. There will be two story threads, The main and secondary.
The Main will follow the events that play out on the ship such a scenes between major characters and even a few written battles. This will be the primary means of progression in the story. There will be more serous consideration (or at least an attempted there of) when posting. I will be the primary poster of this thread and will ask others who are playing major characters to add in lines or write their own post when appropriate. In layman's terms this will be the cannon thread. Given the nature of this thread communication of Discord will be required as to not make a jumbled mess of posts. As such simply send me a PM over discord (slimalou) so we can get started, I have a total of Five characters to choice from or if you so wish you may make one or replace three out of five existing characters. We will likely create a server to better help us organize our information. Please also keep in mind that we can only have so many main characters so not everyone will be able to join the main thread.
The secondary thread will be far more relaxed, people create characters who serve a minor role on the ship. They will be used to react to the happenings in the main thread such as two crew members talking about the damage done to the ship after a fight and the such. Not only with this give some background life to the ship but allow allow people a chance to test the waters with writing on the forms but also allow new people to the from some practice when it comes to writing RP. But most importantly, it will be something fun to do with your fellow community members. No contact with me is necessary to make a character in this thread but do try to stay on theme of an Order Dreadnought crew I highly recommend that you review the Montana's wiki page so you have some idea on what people you would fine on the Montana as it is not a complete military crew.
With that said this is a very new thing for me too so I may have to change things as time goes on. With that said the Montana's ship status shall be below for those who just wanna see how things are going on the ship. [Links to be added, main character Bios]
