Me and Aii from the ugly & the beautiful have a survey to figure out what type of roleplay, setting's and type of systems people like the most. We want to learn as much as we can from each survey you do... so that we can make a decision on what we should make. We have learned in the past we can pump time, effort into a build. But if people don't enjoy that type of setting they won't roleplay there. SO this time we are going to let the populous decide! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScODu4Z8GdJm1w7UnD64nmBBp9py30-NpLloNwIz3gWZdTmBw/viewform

Just like the title reads lol! When I am on SL I am Keira Moraxo, I don't really care to deviate or explore other personalities atm lol. This has basically been my alter ego in my head for years and I am using SL to bring her to life. Part of my RP thing is that Keira is aware of and can interact with the rest of the grid. So I just love meeting other unique characters and learning about them and showing them my little world I'm building (and seeing theirs if possible!) So Keira is a 22 year old elven girl born in 2089 in New York City from the Shadowrun Universe. She enjoys hacking and modifiying anything she can from cyberware to vehicles. She also runs/is starting a gang and enjoys her fair share of illegal activities while still managing to enjoy the typical life of a 22 year old city girl. Attached is a picture of Keira in her dive bar with her robot tending the counter. If any of this sounds interesting to you feel free to message me on here or in world my name is Keira Moraxo or moraxo pretty much on everything SL/fb/twitter/etc

The year is 260 ABY, in a tourist town called Little Star, on the planet Talus. A droid has somehow taken control of the government, but their rule was faced with a large hurdle as of late. A signal turned droids rabid before the source was taken out by a group of unlikely heroes, returning the droids with no memory of the incident. Can peace last? Or have the people been too shaken to accept the droids any longer. Star Wars: Talus is a diverse role playing experience offering several groups to cater to most if not all players and types of characters. Learn the ways of the Force with the Jedi or master its darker aspects as a Sith. Own the mean streets and make a stack of credits as a bounty hunter, or start your criminal career in our nightclubs. Step out of the norm and play as one of countless alien species, or as a member of one of Star Wars’ several different cultures. Talus is a world that thrives on trade and almost every species can find a home in its towering buildings. Partake in sim spanning RP’s alongside others as the sims story continues to develop. Influence the story by joining one of many factions. Factions are player ran and self moderated. Don’t play well with others? Then work as a freelance mercenary, merchant, smuggler...the list is endless. Take a slice of life as the sim is constantly IC, allowing anyone to live out the daily lives of their characters. Fight and talk to other players, grow your character from humble beginnings or, just relax and have a drink with some friends. We’re always open. Looking for: Story Tellers (DMs), Faction Leads, medical and bar staff, store owners, smugglers, bounty hunters, force users, organics supremacy movement, droid army supporters, etc. - Site: http://littlestar-talus.weebly.com/ - Most Recent Events: https://littlestar-talus.weebly.com/news-broadcast - Landmark: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Little%20Star/192/197/24 - Contact ShelKRiddle Resident, RyuneRiddle Resident or Salem Ames with questions!

Ive look at well over 20-ish something sims for scifi Rp and i cant find anything this is still alive, open and thriving. Most of the sims i find are either dead or just a sim i cant Rp on based upon my set standards. I Rp at Araxes, Botoany Bay, and few others that are open and im able to Rp my character ive been Rping for years. Im looking for a Scifi based sim that allows the following: 1. Open Scifi Rp (By open i mean able to see trek, Halo, and Star wars person rping toghter for example. Dosent even half to be that way as long im able to Rp my character mostly there.) 2. Able to rez ships or items on the sim temp for Rp 3. Rpers arnt bakkas and rp decently at least 4. Has to allow anime...Well Avatar 2.0 look/body Utilizator sells or Rikugou on "X" sim 5. I dont want to fit into a story and a specific role. -needs to be open- 6. No sim that is scifi Rp that is pure sex basicly 7. The community has to be nice and not bakkas again and the admins could care less of who ever comes there. ...thats pretty much my main concerns that most sims ive found are just eh. Dont get me wrong alot sims ive visited are great! but there not for me. I my self would like to Rp warping out of Fluid warp to scan a colony or some planet or scifi like stuff and land on the planet get out of my ship or land at a space station and RP having good time. I would like to Rp being hired as security or just to deliver supplies to who ever. Even thoe i come from a Merc group i myself dont rp as one unless in the group Rps. When im out by my self i just try to Rp as space explorer really. Making a story that goes with it. If anyone knows of any Scifi sims that are opening up in 2018 please send me an IM inworld or a NC to Stellar(TailBlue) Thanks, Stellar

Hi everyone I'm Keira Moraxo and I'm a new SL resident! I've been polishing up my first AV and I think shes finally ready to explore the grid! I even got a little skyplot the other day! I am looking for people to show me around and show me the ropes as well as make friends. If you're an Elf-kin or super into cyberpunk like me we should totally be best friends but don't worry if not, I'm really accepting of just about everyone as long as you're respectful I am thinking of making a group to RP some black market deals out of my warehouse and possibly move to actually selling in game so if that interests you be sure to let me know and we can see about making a gang :3

Series 2 of Future Shock. The ground breaking original SciFi machinima series filmed in Second Life is set in a dark and terrifying future where technology dominates and where real life and virtual worlds intertwine.See the whole of series 1 on YouTube at https://goo.gl/OLW7Za

I already asked about this in the Avatar section of the forum, but I didn't get many responses so I figured I'd try my luck here instead. To quote my original question:

Website: http://convergence.enjin.com -=What is Convergence?=- Opened in December of 2014, Convergence: The Lost City is an original, paragraph-oriented roleplay community that combines fantasy, sci-fi, supernatural and steampunk elements in a city magically preserved at the end of a recent near-apocalypse. 2023: In a world devastated by the engineered disease D-13, a disease which turned the bulk of the human population into psychopaths and cannibals, the city of Convergence appeared suddenly off of the Oregon coast. Like several other cities which survived the disease's ravages, Convergence is protected by strange forces. Unlike most others, though, this unique city is shrouded in mystery, and possessed of powerful magics. Supernaturals of many races, only recently having emerged from the shadows of myth, compete with stragglers from the cyborg death squads, robots, and the last remaining humans to survive, attempt to find meaning in the world in the wake of pandemic. -=What are the features?=- *Thirteen races and dozens of sub-races. Races include: Humans, Mages, Mutants, Cyborgs, Robots, Vampires, Shifters, Fae, Angels, Demons, Yokai, and Wraiths. Sub-races include: Imps, Merfolk, Drow, Duergar, Faun, Satyrs, Minotaurs, Centaurs and more. * Thirteen different factions, each with their own areas and spheres of influence on the sim. * Original, Multi-genre lore: Our compelling lore spans several genres, allowing you to decide if you want to focus on sci-fi aspects, go a bit more post-apoc, immerse yourself in steampunk or fantasy, or just be very modern and urban. *Magic: Over 25 different types of magic, with many "extras" to augment and specialize your character. Specialized mutations, augmentations, and powers. Human abilities on par with supernatural ones. A system is in place to request specialized and unique magics based on your character and creativity. *XP and HUD: Free optional XP system, allowing people to grow their characters, based on participation rather than on presence on the sim. Our optional HUD lets everyone know the "weather" on sim, as well as the phases of the moon, and provides tools such as titlers and post-order devices to help you RP. Please note: these are OPTIONAL and not at all required to roleplay in Convergence! *Numerous monthly events: We have several different events planned every week, from social gatherings, to quests, to combats, to plots run by our STs. Check out the calendar on our webpage for more! *Great community, friendly players: Convergence prides itself on being accepting, friendly, and overall a great community OOC. Our staff adheres to a strict ethics code. And we pride ourselves on listening to player suggestions and input, and letting the players "drive the story". We even have incentives in place to help promote RP with new players and new characters. *And Much, Much More! But not ducks. Except, maybe a duckmoose. -=Where can I learn more?=- Come by and visit: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Wasteland/170/224/1203 For info on our races, magics, skills, and how to apply to Convergence: The Lost City, stop by our website: http://convergence.enjin.com Alternately, drop in to our sim and chat with any of our mentors - they're happy to help you get started and answer questions about the application process! Just slap the "Contact Mentors" button in the Landing Zone, or ask for one on our OOC group. Or check out our New Player's Guide. Want to see CV? Take a look at our Flickr Group. Let me know if you have questions!

I was on Flickr and came across this photo. I have written to the one to took the photo a long time ago but no replies... It was supposedly found somewhere in April 2017 at the Sci-fi Convention at the Relay For Life event or so.... I had gone to the place and asked for help and I guess the place had changed... I want this building soooo bad! So please if anyone knows, let me know! T___T Thanks so much in advance!

Seeking Angel Players for Convergence City. Hello all! I am seeking some players for the Elohim (angel) faction of Convergence city. Convergence is a dark urban sim with modern themes based in the time line of 2024. Its a diverse sim that welcomes all kinds of races, however I am seeking to expand the angel faction and trying to encourage more angel players to come join. The Elohim (angels) are not your typical heroes, in fact they could very well be called the enemy, it all depends on perspective. They are an intense sometimes zealot like race, fully committed to their God and reason for existence. In this world, the Elohim race covet humans and the faithful, those who still worship who is the one true god in their eyes. They are probably liked even less than their counterparts the Nephilim (demon) faction. This race has allot of deep history but can be very rewarding to play as they have lots of facets, and many have fallen to vices that would normally be considered sin for any human, which is fun! If your interested, I encourage you to read the racial lore HERE Slurl HERE to Convergence City Apply to play HERE any questions please contact me Seralath Resident, I am acting as present faction lead of the Elohim.

A New Cyber Punk/Sci Fi Role Play in the making. With a build and concept like no other. The sim is still under construction, but it's close to completion. You can see the beautiful grand design of District 18 here http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/7 Nights/158/193/2705 or check it out for your self by searching 7 Nights in-world. You don't want to miss out on the opportunity to engage in this immaculate story that's coming to Second Life. The place is free for exploration and even some preemptive role-play if you just can't wait until the official opening after seeing this new superior build Skula and Abraham have to offer the SL Community! There's much to explore and so much life to the build. It's truly something any true role player or explorer could revel in. Adventure awaits! [Synopsis] (So far...) The year 2139, World War III began. A war which ravaged that once flourishing Earth we called home. That home we so foolishly took for granted. It's unclear how exactly the war began. Stories circulate around from our progenitors like a misleading virus falsely plaguing most who seek the truth. It's merely a grim legend lost to time, though we surely know of it's humbling end. This legend was no mythical tale, it's our somber lineage which carried us into the dystopian civilization with which our corporately bureaucratize society cradles us today. But let's not get ahead of our selves... The war, it raged on for only 6 years before we'd completely scourged our planet. In those 6 years, relations between what we called countries fell apart. Allies became enemies and enemies only became even more sown in discontent with one and other. Nations fell apart as bombs rained from the sky disrupting civilians with every quaking shower of metal and fire. None of these weapons of mass destruction could have pared with that of the ELF-HAND(Extremely Low Frequency - High Frequency Activated Nuclear Device) a nuclear powered bomb which had the ability to release enough energy to alter the planet's weather on a global scale. Legend has it the device was created through the reverse engineering of something known as the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Project, a program that was working on manipulating the ionosphere in the 21st century, and ultimately as a result the planet's weather. As such, the device was given a name to wave off it's predecessor, the ELF-HAND. The true science behind the device and how it functioned was lost in the chaos of it's affect, yet the outcome was grave and we lost our home to it's authority. Dropped on the year of 2145, the ELF-HAND release a high frequency wave into the adjacent environment, ultimately breaking down into extremely low frequency waves which would completely convex the ionosphere and spawn drastic results. The effects of the bomb were almost immediately noticeable globally. Weather patterns became more sporadic and more violent. Tsunamis crashed against shores swallowing the coasts. Raging storms ripped through cities, bringing along with them tornadoes like none ever having been scaled on Earth's surface. Blizzards covered the planet almost bringing with them another ice age. Seasons became more harsh, and ultimately living conditions began to dwindle into a state of disarray. When the storms ended and the shore lines finally receded to the sea, then came the droughts. Crops failed, animals died, and as a result, many of us died with them. Entire countries became barren starting with the already existing deserts. Pockets of radiation brought with them fallout which washed over the planet in dark ambient clouds, only aiding in the loss of life. Eventually, all life on Earth was threatened. The war having long since faded with the seasons, only left a sense of unity between those few struggling nations which remained. Though the ELF-HAND may have stripped life below, it had created a potential for it above. With the ionosphere having been stretch, it left a partial bubble in our planets atmosphere for where life could thrive once again. With advancements in technology being at their peak for the Age of Lander Dwellers, a global effort was conformed to in order to erect a hovering city above. All of the world powers invested their resources into raising this grand district. This sudden race for the skies created a vast opportunity for researchers and corporations to place their stake in what would become the new world. With their being no central government of old to push forwards the one of new, those with the most funding placed into the project found themselves in control of our future. This would only form a global government fueled by commerce and economy alone. The government which once held a globalized peace on this new venture slowly faded into the background as the grand sky city rose into prominence. Corporations and investors became the key figures of rule upon this ark of ours. Some gaining more control than others as these corporations found themselves eventually resourced and funded by the nations which they had once helped to raise into the sky. Some say it was the worlds way of paying back what was given, other's believe the corporations simply took advantage of their investment and turned our society into one large collection of stocks. In time, one corporation rose above all others as it brought forth an age of technological advancement. And age of complacent acceptance and conformity in something that distracted the land dwellers of old from their harsh transition Bio-robotics. That company, the largest funding element of them all was Biological Robotics Incorporated. With B.R.I ushering in a new grand regime of self enhancement, it distracted the masses from the grip that was slowly reaching around their lives. Cybernetics and genetic modification became a trend and aspiration for those who sought to harbor a better life, and a better self. As B.R.I grew so did their advancement in such technologies. Eventually they'd have become the pariah of our future. People unquestionably threw themselves into the reign of B.R.I, accepting it as the new power of their city known as District 18. B.R.I had control and soon the functionality of government and the resources it provided were retrofitted to it's own needs. The social structure remained such as police, civil services, and the military, yet it was fueled and retained by that of a corporation now. That same corporation which grew to become the one so many of our citizens praise and now swear by as their commander and chief of all civil and foreign affairs. Even with the government and it's structure becoming the prize puppet of B.R.I that did not leave the corporation with out it's own devices and operations for dealing with matters of negative affect. Finding it to be unwise to leave their true companies power to that of a global government, they'd use most of their internal resources to fund their own high society sort of structure, leaving none of the true power to the people. Though this was never something they'd outwardly make obvious. They had created their own information department for investigating and policing matters directly related to the infrastructure of what they deemed the "internal affairs" of B.R.I. This division is known as the Bio-Intelligence Department. This department was used for top classified matters pertaining to B.R.I and it's genetic operations and consequently anything the conflicted the corporation directly. Most of their work is done in secret, and the true purpose of their function never outwardly administered to the public. In terms of public knowledge, the BID are here to investigate matters which were related to unsanctioned Bio-robotics Operations and Applications, their agents being coined Inquisitors. It wasn't long until the police became a para-military and the military itself became a special operations division used for direct action conflict purposed to engaged and thwart threats of up rise against District 18 and B.R.I. This overwhelming dominance created by B.R.I was seen as a service by the middle-upper class sectors of society, while the down trodden dissidents of the lower levels found the oppressive nature of B.R.I to be something of a strangle hold on their libertarian way of life. This would bring forth the incarnation of the Rogue Resistance, a body of lower class citizens and deviants seeking to break that grasp of totalitarianism and gain independence from the bureaucratic empire that loomed over them. By the year 2502 riots and full scale conflicts would find their way into the heart of District 18. This vigilant agenda was a swift means to begin recruiting any who were brave enough to take on the corporate power which controlled their way of life. Unwelcome by the high society, those of lesser standing found themselves with out a say in the new regime, and quickly found themselves under the care and protection of the Rogue Resistance's representation. As time went on, the rebels grew in number and increased through the influence of the poor. The rich grew tired of the lingering threat of such opposition and B.R.I declared a sanction for the military to engage and eradicate the threat, leaving the rebels to loom in the shadows and plan out their war against B.R.I and the globalization effort they'd brought forth. The lower levels became a dangerous place for any peace keeper trying to police the populace down below. As a result of the tension District 18 became engaged in a civil war of sorts, as B.R.I attempted to silence the rebel propaganda and remove the threat of opposition. Now the year 2517, B.R.I and it's technologies prevalence are at an all time high. Most consider the corporation to be the sole power to guide them in their new era of prosperity, while their remain those forgotten which the company who wish to gain a foothold in this new world they are force to remain in. Life and the hope for prosperity still tread on as the populace thrives within the grungy midst of hardship and conflict. Small business still strives for capital gain and the civilians endorse the idea of a corporate empire in the sky. Many flock to the idea and concept of how B.R.I came to power, and even aspire to gain a precedence in the same manner. It remains the constant fuel of commerce and economy to aspire to live in the image B.R.I and the upper class which live among their finest. District 18 pushes the idea that any man can rise to the top to gain a standing in society. A city where the ones below look up to the ones above with the faith that they will one day find themselves living among the high rise above. Even with B.R.I being the leading power of society, it still remains just a corporation and business. Competition is high in District 18, and it's always glorified that a hard worker can find themselves in the CEO chair of B.R.I. Will you fight your way to the top? Earn your way their through business? Or gain the connection you need to became the boss of District 18? Though keep in mind, you always need to watch out for who's toes you step on trying to get to their, there's another hopeful just as cut throat looking to stake their claim in the grand floating city of District 18.

Often considered the Royal Officers of the Military, they serve as an example for all other Guardsman hoping to show true loyalty and commitment to The UCR. They have each earned the right to hold a lance; a powerful Mana transferring conduit, expelling all use of other weapons in honor of the Republic.

Combat System: Dice Based At the third week of each month an Activity Attendance Report is sent out in a notice via “your character’s faction”. This is done in order to track progress and activity between characters. Each report given to the players will be granted a week before level rewards are given out. At the beginning of each month the level rewards requests will be sent to the GMs for review, and then the Faction Leaders will post the level rewards for that month. Internal faction promotions do not coincide with Combat Rank, though it is a common rule of thumb that most ranks are to be aligned with an average level for each rank. Promotions are granted bi-weekly, whereas combat system ranks are granted monthly. Name: Date: Faction (if any): 1. [Faction Name] (If any) Character: 1.
