Welcome to Black Ocean! I'm sure your interested in getting started on this board, but you might be having a little trouble sifting through all the information available to you. Don't worry. There may be a lot, but it's only there if you want get into detail about the world or the people that inhabit it. I would encourage you to read some of it on your own time, when you feel up to it. But for now, here are the basics to get you started in Black Ocean. Setting Black Ocean is set in the far off science-fiction future, where humanity has joined the galactic community as one of the newest space-faring races. Interstellar and interplanetary travel is common, as is contact with other advanced civilizations like the Calathar and Davran. Go into more detail... Technology Level There are no explicit "powers" as usually defined on other boards. However, Black Ocean has all the sci-fi technology you could ask for, including warp drives and energy weapons. Individual races might have interesting inherent abilities, but no one is shooting ki blasts or levitating things with their minds. Go into more detail Humans(Terrans) You're a human, right? You got a pretty good idea of how humans works. In Black Ocean they were assisted by the Calathar during an alien invasion by the Fomwar many generations ago and have now ascended to the galactic stage. Humans are most densely populated within the Sol system, where Earth resides, but their presence can be felt across the galaxy as humans explore and interact. They are strong allies with the Calathar. Go into more detail... Calathar Humanity's best friend on the galactic stage, the Calathar are very similar to humans in terms of physiology with some distinctions. They are universally pale and are generally have lighter frames than human. They have two hearts side-by-side, and are naturally immune to radiation due to their home world's high radioactivity. They also live twice as long. Otherwise, they are similar to humans in all other respects. The Calathar are galactic peace keepers that value honor and are highly militaristic in their government and policy. Soldiers and police officers have a shield-generating crystal in their arms. Go into more detail... Davran The Davran were a highly advanced people that one day vanished for unexplained reasons, leaving behind only their incredibly advanced machines. These machines developed self awareness and now carry the name of their creators as a sapient machine race. Seventy-five percent of the Davran population exists in recognizable humanoid frames, while the remaining twenty-five percent exist as vehicles, crafts, etc. Despite being sentient machines, the Davran have three major religions they follow. The first emphasizes following the desires of the original creator of the machines. The second aims to "live in place of" the original Davran race. The third aspires to advance Davran technology to the point of ascendance. Go into more detail... |
