Name: Planet X (because I can't think of a better name just yet)
Core Theme: Survival
Sub Theme: Exploration, Rebuilding, Adventure, Rivalry
Setting: It is several hundred years into the future and shit on Earth has gone horribly wrong; it's dying, and everyone knows it. Twelve seed-ships were sent off to worlds deemed habitable by probes previously sent. They are humanities last hope. The story begins when one of the seed-ships finally arrives at its destination, habitable Planet X.
On the seed-ship are the
Generationals, those who have been born, lived, and died on the seed-ship. They have been the crew, the cooks, the engineers, the pilots. And the
Awoken, those who have been frozen for the entire trip, the privileged that have paid to sleep. It is said that those who are asleep have the skills needed to rebuild society on Planet X and all the data from the initial probes sent. Essential information, the Generationals have been lead to believe.
The Awoken: They once lived on Earth, and they saw it collapse. They still hold to the old values, have old habits and have old Earth knowledge. They are were once the smartest and the privileged, and they're going to have to learn a new way of life, and put their knowledge to practical use in a world they alone have the probe data for. But their time asleep has altered them and they are not quite... the same as they once were.
The Generationals: They have been on the seed-ship for four hundred years. They have done all the hard work, they have developed a new way of living. They had to. Things haven't always been easy, but they're finally here. It's over, and their future begins. They resent the Awoken and how easy they have had it. They despise their old ways and believe them to be archaic. It is likely they would of gotten rid of the Awoken several generations ago if it were not for the fact that they needed their data from the probe.
Characters: Players can choose to play on either the Generationals or the Awoken, each with their own set of perks and disadvantages. Both factions would have their own set of secrets.
Combat: PVP and PVE combat exists, with PVP combat being turn based, with opportunities for roleplay.
World: Planet X is richly detailed and unique, abounding with dangerous flora and fauna and dangerous weather. Players can explore, discover and fight over much needed resources that will ensure this survival on this less than hospitable planet.
Tech: High tech tools initially, with the ability to invent and come up with new things using the world around them. Players will be able to store information found about their world on their data pods, which will become available to their faction. Tested a berry and discovered it is poisonous? Add it to your data pod and upload it. Then when Joe Bloggs comes along, and scans that same berry, they'll have that same bit of information available to them. As players explore, they will build up their knowledge. And the more knowledge you have? The more powerful your faction can become.
Opening: To kick start things off, it is soon discovered that the probe data, provided little in the way of information about this world as expected. Feeling cheated, and believing that they can do better without them, the Generationals kick them off of the Seed-ship, leaving them to head off and find their own way on Planet X.
