My bad. *fixes*

Also Dark I think you confused your character with Angel's. XD

I did, lol. When you said black feline, I thought you meant Senn. Brain fart. I have no idea. Plus Senn is way more bat-like than cat-like. But I deleted the post and made a new one.

I want to reply to your post, Dark, but I think I'm gonna let other people post, first, so don't have Senn run around calling Strange incompetent because he didn't do anything yet. Coming up next: Strange does something witty.

Goodnight!

You guys post waaaaaaaaaaay too fast.

"But, I think Dark and Glict misread my post. Strange didn't go into the hallway, he stayed in the room, and now he's preparing an ambush. Sorry for the confusion."

Again, sorry for the confusion, but Celo, I've never had Strange leave the room. He's perched on a ledge above the door, preparing an ambush.

So, if he didn't want to be there...
Where exactly would he go?

He was captured, most likely through ambush, and immediately put into stasis. He has absolutely no reason to be so calm. As several characters have said in the past, it's better not to know what the Invaders do to people they don't kill, but you are indeed better off dead.

okay I don't have time to make a char sheet so i'm saving time and recycling XD

Name: Ketryn 5273 (she’s just called Ketryn, though)

Gender: female

Age: 24 in human years

Race: Yarksonian

Appearance: Yarksonians have a large resemblance to humans. The only noticeable differences are that their skin never really tan unless revealed to an unusually large amount of sunlight and they are usually considered tall compared to average human beings. There are also different genetic colors for their eyes. Other than that, there’s no noticeable difference. Ketryn has an average-looking Yarksonian body at first glance. She is a little bit on the short side for her species at 6’0” and weighs around 342 lbs. (though she appears to be average weight for anyone, and this shall be explained later) Pale skin. She has common strait black hair that extends a little bit past her shoulders and has the most average Yarksonain eye color: orange. However, there are some noticeable, non-Yarksonian features that can be seen on Ketryn. There is a thing, glowing blue line that can be faintly seen that runs from right about where Ketryn’s left ear is attached to the skull to the middle of her forehead. There is also an alike line that runs from the top of her shoulder to the center of her chest.
Ketryn’s style of clothing is normal for both humans and Yarksonians. She usually just wears a light blue button down shirt (though it is usually unbuttoned) with a black tank top underneath. Katryn also wears some boot cut jeans with a pair of sandals.

Personality: A part of Ketryn’s emotional system was once damaged to make it where she can’t really react in a proper way to situations. Katryn usually seems emotionless except for in intense times when emotions are strongly felt, it is then that she can properly communicate. Katryn feels all the other feelings a normal human or yarksonian feels, she just fails to communicate them. Whenever she feels happy or sad, her face is just expressionless. Katryn usually sees the logical side of things and anything she finds completely useless she prefers to avoid. However, she is very caring and kind, though it’s hard to tell this since the only expressions that she can be seen with are anger and fear.

Abilities -merged with skills-(and her back-story… more or less): There are reasons behind Katryn’s strange differences compared to the rest of her kind and her thalamus being damaged. The Yarksonians are really a lot like an advanced form of the human civilization. Their technology is far more advanced, and so this is where Katryn’s story comes in.
The yarksonians were looking for ways to strengthen themselves, increase their life span, and avoid disease a lot more easily. (Being such an old civilization, there is a large population on the planet and disease easily spreads) Being so bent on technology, they eventually thought of a possible way to do so- place the human mind into an artificial life form. Many failures were made in this project and many lost their lives, but eventually they had a successful transformation- Katryn 5273. Her original name was Katryn, just an everyday female yarksonian, but her new body form was the 5,723 model made. It looked just like a normal Yarksonian- from the eyes to the hands, it even felt like a yarksonian (their skin feels like human skin, btw)- the only differences was the weight of her body since she is mostly metal on the inside along with the glowing blue lines on the forehead and on the chest. You see, these markings were how they opened up the areas for Katryn’s brain and heart.
One of the reasons that scientists kept failing the transformation from normal life form to partial robot was that they couldn’t keep the brain from going dead due to the lack of a heart to pump air. Even if the brain were still receiving energy from an outside force, such as a form of highly advanced electric charges, it would still go dead because it wouldn’t read a heart. It is almost like the power of suggestion being played on the mind- the heart is dead, so I must be dead *dies*. So the scientists working on Katryn’s body kept the heart connected, and made it to where highly advanced pulses were being sent to both, telling both the mind and heart the other was alive and to keep going. In the movement from the normal body to the artificial body, however, there was a part of the artificial body that had a glitch and couldn’t perceive many emotions. So that explains her personaility
Okay, now that I’ve explained how Katryn came to be, I’ll FINALLY explain her abilities XD
Katryn’s artificial, robotic body (which I’m going to go ahead and say is EMP and water proof) has several advancements that a normal Yarksonian body doesn’t (and a yarksonian body is just like a human being’s) the robotic body gives her a stronger immune system, since is makes the only two possible things that can be harmed by bacteria nearly untouchable. Also Katryn doesn’t age. Actually, she has been 24 for two years. Katryn has above average strength, sight, and hearing. She also has a large tolerance for pain, since the only parts of her that feel pain are the mind and the heart. Another advancement in Katryn’s system is that with her eyesight there is also a targeting system connected to her brain that helps her with targeting objects. No, this does not mean she has perfect aim. Her aiming is really above average, however.

Weaknesses: Being mostly metal, Katrryn has a different way of getting energy aside from food, and that’s from electricity! *derp* Ketryn ahas to recieve a certain amount of sunlight to power her systems every 48 hours, or, if not ,she must be plugged in by a socket in her right wrist. Katryn can be killed just like anyone else, as well. The only diffenece is that getting a bullet or knife into her make be harder with her insides being mostly metal. Her skin feels human, er, yarksonian, though XD All that needs to happen is a few snips of the wire and then she is dead.

other: she is not a turtle water bear!
Anyways, now Ketryn is probably the only Yarksonian that isn't captured

The LALiverse is sci-fi, but it runs like a fantasy. As silly as this is going to sound, Engineer is too smart for this RP.

Think of the galaxy under subjugation for 5+/- generations. Since the Invaders have no tolerance for anything that rivals their own, the Acirians would have been destroyed.

(a) Too smart? The laws of physics still apply, do they not? I don't see how a character can be too intelligent in a science fiction world. You need intelligence to make a space ship or a laser. Those things don't exactly just pop up overnight.

(b) Yeah, YOU try wiping out the Acirians and tell me how it goes. You'd have a better chance wiping all of the cockroaches from the face of the Earth.

This puts me in quite a bind then, considering that Feffon was basically supposed to be Engineer's pet. I would REALLY rather not have Feffon alone because quite frankly he's too unintelligent and immature to survive. So my options are to either make a new character who's intelligent enough to keep him alive (but not too intelligent, apparently) or not join at all.

Ok I admit that isn't a good explanation for a sheet not being accepted, but I still do not see how a character is too intelligent to be in a science fiction rp. Space ships and lasers don't just come out of your chimney on Christmas, you know.

This is considered sci-fi, yes. But, as mentioned before, it plays like a fantasy.
Every rp in this universe has taken place mostly on a single planet, with no access to space ships or lasers or anything else.

The ships exist, but they're owned only by the Kyreniens. The Silent Dirge is the only working one we're going to see in this rp, at least for a while.


As for you, Op.

"The enslavement of the galaxy is over" and "a deep hatred of all Kyreniens has taken hold of the galaxy" may not be enough for you, but that's why we're here to answer questions. Do you explain stuff very well if you and most of the people you know have known about it for two years? Why would you bother if everyone already knows? No, that's not really a good thing, but it's what happened.

Then it's not sci-fi and you should have restricted it to one race. Science fiction implies advanced technology. You can't have science fiction without technology like you can't have fantasy without magic or the supernatural. It doesn't work.

I have to say, Angel and Sar, I understand that LAL had some strict lore but you guys are quite frankly coming across as jerks. Very few of us were in LAL, and most of us never read it. We don't know how powerful the Invaders were or that there weren't any space ships or lasers, and it's not fair of you guys as the administration of this rp to make us feel foolish because we don't know these things. You either need to (a) point them out in a much more detailed OP or (b) be more flexible. If you don't want LAL lore to change then you shouldn't have made a public RP about it. Opening LAL up to the public like this will make the lore change because more people are contributing to it. Maybe I don't want my race to be disposable. Have you ever thought that there was a race that the Kyrenians simply couldn't kill?

I'm not only saying that about my sheet being denied, but about the way you're treating Nick. You're essentially bullying him. You've made both of us want to drop this rp because you are impressing rules upon us that you didn't tell us about. Nowhere in the OP did it state a restriction on technology. If you're going to make an rp this strict, then you need to tell us how strict it is. If I had known that there were bans on technology and that you would be this strict with the lore, then I'd never have joined this rp. Honestly I'm pretty sure I'm going to drop it anyways because you guys are being so harsh about these rules towards Nick and because you're being three times as strict as you were in the OP.

When you plan an RP, sar, you have to be REALLY descriptive. I mean, look at Dawn of the Cyborgs. Similar type of sci-fi rp taking place on one planet. Look at all the rules and such. I have a description of the entire city the rp takes place in, exact measures of technology, and very specific rules (in most cases). You need that if you want to make a strict rp like this.

Damn it Cleo, I can't believe you posted so quickly after me.
