Hello everyone, and welcome to Setting Suns, a Stars Without Number cosmic horror adventure!

This game isn't in the SWN default setting. To familiarize yourself with some of the changes, checking out the Setting Thread here.

Please note that while I use the words "Cosmic horror," this does not mean magic or Cthulhu are real. They are not. Your characters are, however, mortal. As such, everyone should prep both a "first" character and a "back up" character. That will be explained later in the 'How to apply" section below.

Your characters will be members of Recon Team Alpha, the team assigned to finding a new home in the system you've arrived in. Keep this in mind while making your characters.

How To Apply
Your character application should have a total of three posts. The first two posts should contain character sheets for your characters: Post one for your "Main" character, and post two for your "backup" character.
The third post should contain all the rolls used to make those characters.

Main things to keep in mind: FTL does not exist in this setting, at least not yet. Otherwise, follow all character creation rules noted here.

What Am I Looking For?
Consistent posting: Not necessarily every day, but consistent. Don't just disappear for three weeks without a word explaining "why."
Imaginative, Proactive Players: I don't want characters that aren't engaged in their mission. You have a mission, you have a reason to complete that mission. No grizzled loners, please.
People who play well with others: No getting grumpy because the GM says your violet-eyed half-alien demigod has no place in the setting. I'm open to all sorts of interesting ideas, but if I say "no," then just accept it and move on. Similarly, if another players says "no, I'd really rather Jimbob Jones not fall in love with my characters," please respect those boundaries. We're all here to have fun, let's create an environment where we can do that.

When are applications due?
Some time towards the end of April. No specific date, because I don't have one, but I'm heading into a super busy season now--which will abruptly clear up at the end of April, making it a perfect time for me to get a game rolling.
