Chatterbox: Inkwell

Across the Void

Life is normal in the galaxy of Krein. At least, you thought it was, until one day, when you a strange message is broadcast to your media receiver: MAYDAY! MAYDAY! Everything is falling apart and we need help! Repeat- we need help! We- suddenly, the message fades to static, and a moment later, your planet’s leader is on the line.

“Er- no need to worry about that,” they say, somewhat hastily. “It was a- mechanical error. Everything is great. Absolutely great.” 

Your neighbors and coworkers seem to believe the president’s message, but you’re not so sure. You start investigating further, and a few weeks later, you receive a mysterious message—this one very odd, as it’s written on paper, a material so archaic you’ve barely ever seen it. It says “Don’t believe their lies. Head to the planet of Philia P73 to discover the truth. Trust nobody.”

Shortly after reading this message, you receive another transmission from your leader. “Warning to all residents- do not travel to the planet Philia P73 for any reason. We have reason to believe a group of space pirates are rigging a trap on this planet. I repeat- do not travel to planet Philia P73.”

Across the Void is a large roleplaying and wordbuilding project that spans across multiple threads. You can post your charrie sheet here, then join or start a RP on another thread. This idea was introduced by Niteskiies, a CBer who left around last month. The AtV Team consists of Luminescence, Sybill, Kitten, Majestic Mary, and Bakerloo, who have been spending time on YWP drafting and worldbuilding to make this happen. 

A couple rules and etiquette:

-If you are creating a thread, make the first words be AtV, so people know that it is an Across the Void RP.

-Please don't create a bunch of RPs at once, we would like this not to take over the Inkwell. 

-This is also not supposed to be a "replacement" for Kyngdom or anything. This is supposed to be much lower scale.

--

So... have fun, everyone!

Reading this kind of wants to make me bring back Varjo, but I feel like his personality is way too similar to Seólta's.

Well, I didn't bring back Varjo, but I did make another charrie! I put a lot of work into him. They'll probably be my last charrie.

Name: Aypoyre zhfe Weremiykishi

Gender: Demiboy-- like all Suylasuwe, he/they doesn't feel very powerful in either direction, though feels more male.

Species: Suylasuwe, a mask-wearing, bioluminescent species known as assassins, thieves, spies, and excellent soldiers. They typically speak in hand gestures, and a special language using their glowing markings. However, they also have their own language, and can speak the common language.

Home World: Aomiwezhsu, a small moon orbiting around the planet Taeva-ilu, a massive gas giant. Aomiwezhsu's fourteen-month years consist of seven months of almost-pure-darkness, and seven months of regular day and night cycles. Which is why the Suylasuwe are bioluminescent, as is most of the flora and fauna on the moon. It's one of thirty-eight moons, and the only to have life.

Job/Occupation: Spy and Assassin for the Vojnovy. The Suylasuwe are a Vojnovy-controlled species. They are raised as assassins, spies, and soldiers for them, though many Suylasuwe are secretly disloyal. They are forming an underground rebellion on their moon, called the 'Nighteyes''. (In their native language, it is called the Qiyjiyisu.) Aypoyre is a member of this.

Age: 19. Suylasuwe mature quicker than humans, so he has the mind of someone in their mid to late twenties. However, their bodies physically age about the same as humans. They tend to live to about ninety, sometimes a little later.

Abilities: Can make markings glow at will, excellent climber, tail is good for balance (though not prehensile!), agile. Their claws have a non-fatal venom in them, which causes scratch marks to turn an icky purple-black and feel as if they're freezing. It can cause limbs to go numb and become paralyzed if left untreated, however, only scratch marks on the neck or over the heart are fatal.

Appearance: Dark, dark navy blue skin with a texture similar to that of a gecko's. Frills behind large ears, the webbing in which glows purple and orange. Long, thin tail. Four eyes, his eyes are bright blue. His face is human like, though his snout protrudes slightly, giving him a reptilian look. Orange and purple feathers grow amongst his black dreadlocks. Usually wears a white mask, vaguely resembling some kind of canine, with blue and gold markings. His feet have 'thumbs' on them, which is good for climbing, and means he could potentially write with his feet. Usually wears a black or dark grey uniform with golden accents. His two hands are tipped in long claws, faintly shiny from the poison that coats them. His body is covered in small dots, which glow white, purple, and orange, at will. Quite tall, over six feet.

Personality: While he is usually forced to act cold, unfeeling and uncaring, there is a 'gentle giant' side to him. While a little morally grey, he's actually quite sweet, and can be very empathetic. Sometimes, this can make his job more difficult, which is why he tries to interact as little as possible with his current targets. Around those close to him, he's very caring and compassionate, and tends to be the parent of the group.

Current Home: Wherever the Vojnovy have him stationed, however, his actual home is still Aomiwezhsu.

Allies: The other Nighteyes, and technically the Vojnovy, since they don't know he's a rebel

Enemies: The Vojnovy

Weaknesses: Bad sense of smell, sometimes his empathy gets in the way, conflicting emotions. Since he's a disloyal Vojnovy worker, he has a lot of enemies and essentially no allies. He can't read the common language super well, and he can't speak it super well either. A little shy, actually.

Backstory: I sort of explained this already, but I'll add on some more. Since the Suylasuwe are very low in numbers, they were one of the first the Vojnovy conquered. For close to thirty years they've ruled the moon. When Aypoyre was born, the Vojnovy had already controlled the moon for about eleven years. Since he was quite athletic and intelligent, he was trained to be a spy/assassin from a very young age. I figure he'll be sent after the Truthseekers/those who team up with Xalochi, so I probably won't introduce him until a little later.

I take that  back. I actually did have another charrie, who I apparently forgot to post the sheet for. Uh. They're a charrie from Mahriel's old Galactic RP. I never got a good chance to use him, so I wanted to bring him back. And then I apparently never posted him. Oops. (Aypoyre is my last charrie, however. I just forgot to post this one.)

Name: P.L.E.A-7 (Stands for Prototype Law Enforcement Android, model seven. Usually just goes by Seven.)

Gender: Technically none, but is designed to appear as male and I'll be using he/him pronouns for him, however, they/them pronouns are fine as well.

Species: Android, specifically a prototype. While his name suggests more of a peacekeeping robot, that is untrue and his actual purpose is to hunt down any bounty hunters or space pirates...and now, anybody who went to Philia.

Home World: Saibar, where he was built.

Job/Occupation: I sort of explained this a little bit. Prototype Law Enforcement Android. It/he (however you want to think of it) is an android being tested for its effectiveness in law enforcement--in this case, specifically hunting down mercenaries, bounty hunters, smugglers, and counterfeiters, and also those who went to Philia. Basically, criminals and people who know things they shouldn't. And while he's supposedly currently employed by the leader of Saibar, he's actually working more for the Vojnovy, and taking down any of their personal enemies, for example, direadh and Okrenti.

Age: Designed to look like he's in his early twenties. Has been around for nearly 20 years--he's a very advanced android, so his creators wanted to do a lot of testing before fully releasing his model.

Abilities: Features network and database connected scanners--he can identify suspects/criminals by scanning their faces and comparing it to ID files. Can also scan and analyze a number of other things--the presence of alien lifeforms, toxic air, fingerprints, etc. Keep in mind that these other scannable things take time for him to analyze, making him vulnerable for long periods of time. Also has fighting programming, and the basic android stuff--doesn't need food/water, doesn't need air, etc. Still debatable as to whether or not he could survive in space for long periods of time.

Appearance: His particular model resembles a human. Fair skin, and bright blue eyes. Black hair that's usually pulled into a short ponytail. On his stomach is a porcelain-colored panel, which protects his core--essentially his power cell. There's a much smaller porcelain-colored panel on the back of his neck, which covers outlets for cords to plug into. Usually wearing a uniform, black and dark grey, with red and gold accents. On his 'skin', if you look close enough, you can see thin lines where the metallic panels underneath attach. They're especially obvious around his eyes.

Personality: Very much an android--or so it seems. Logical, and highly intelligent, though has a very friendly way of presenting things. Very obedient, etc. On occasion, he'll do something or say something that's not quite android-like--for example, abandoning a mission because it's unethical, etc. He can also be rather sarcastic and witty, and is secretly rather stubborn and rebellious. There's something wrong with his personality core, as he's started developing emotions--though he's become good at hiding them, as he doesn't want his creators to dismantle him. However, he still 100% believes all space pirates are terrible people. This could change, but still. He believes the same about direadh and Okrenti.

Current Home: Not really anywhere, actually.

Allies: The Vojnovy and governments. (Who I'm assuming are probably working together or something.)

Enemies: Basically anyone else, honestly--though specifically, the Truthseekers, the Philian, direadh, the Okrenti, escaped Vojnovy-controlled species members, the Nighteyes, and any sort of space pirate/criminal.

Weaknesses: He can still be destroyed if his database (stored in his head) or if he goes without his core for about 20 minutes. However, he still tends to rush into highly dangerous situations because of his coding. As I mentioned above, anything other than faces takes him a while to analyze, leaving him exposed and weak. While his plating underneath his fake skin protects him from water, even the smallest of wounds and he becomes very vulnerable to water damage. EMPs will also shut him off. He's also still learning about emotions, so he could definitely get overwhelmed if he feels too much at once. (Maybe a little overkill on the weaknesses, there. Oops.)

Backstory: That's the thing, though. He really doesn't have one. XD Um, let's see. He was built on Saibar, and is the most advanced… but is still a prototype, and therefore somewhat glitchy. (Hence, the emotions.) While he is supposedly working for Saibar, he's really working for the Vojnovy.

Other: He's the seventh prototype--there are six more, who go by the names One, Two, Three, Four, etc. Open to shipping with anyone, though I can't imagine someone who would go well with him. XD

Hi everyone! Does anyone want to create the character of the leader of the Vojnovy and SUNRISE (the organization of corrupt governments. SUNRISE is an acronym for Society of Undertakers, New Rule, Intelligence, Saviors, and Exoneration [credits to Sybill])

I think it might be useful for the new SUNRISE/Vojnovy RP. I can do it if no one else wants to.

I will one hundred percent create the leader of SUNRISE, but someone else can make the leader of the Vojnovy. The way the post was worded implies they're two seperate organizations/groups that are just working together for the same goal.

submitted by Sybill, age ????, Kyngdom
(September 6, 2020 - 12:01 pm)

Perfect! Here's my charrie. Oh, and by the way if no one volunteers to create the leader of the Vojnovy by Tuesday, I'm just going to go ahead and do it.

Name: Kataar Sengdl

Gender: Female

Species: A’q’iri, a winged, catlike eared, humanoid species, with skin tones ranging from red brown to a vampire-like white. Their hair is all white, all though often the a’q’iri highlight it different colors. Their wings are usually brown or grey in color. The a’q’iri are one of the native species of Li’ikhta, a volcanic planet, but Kataar’s parents immigrated to Jenne a year before she was born. A’q’iri are naturally immune to fire.

Home World: Jenne or Li’ikhta

Job/Occupation: Leader of the SongBird Initiative

Age: 25 (a’q’iri mature at the same rate as humans, but they life 50% longer than us)

Abilities: Kataar has a rare ability among the a’q’iri to control fire. She can’t create it, though. 

Appearance: Freckled, cinnamon-colored skin, and waist-length white hair with purple highlights, which is braided and tightly coiled to form a bun. A couple strands of hair hang down beside her cheeks, where her ears would be if she had them. Her eyes are maroon, so dark they almost seem brown. Her jaw seems permanently clenched, and her thin lips hardly ever smile, but when they do, it’s like she’s a whole different person. She has two purple cat ears that stick up out of her hair. Her usual outfit is her uniform: white button down shirt, black high heels, navy blue cloak, and grey ankle length pleated skirt. She also wears black square framed glasses.

Personality: More compassionate than she seems. Kataar truly believes she is doing the right thing.

Current Home: Jenne

Allies: the Vojnovy, SUNRISE, and SongBird Initiative, a collaborative project between the two groups

Enemies: those who went to Philia P73

Weaknesses: She often has tunnel vision, and can only focus on one thing at a time. She’s kind of close-minded and isn’t exactly open to new ideas. She’s quick to dismiss things she judges as “not worth it.”

Backstory: Kataar’s parents were both born on Li’ikhta, but they didn’t meet until they both came to Jenne for school. When they got married, they moved back to Jenne, where Kataar was born. She was born when the SongBird Initiative was just a small project, and as she grew older, it grew bigger, until Jenne was entirely under Vojnovy and SUNRISE rule. All her life, she’d been taught by the world it was safer to respect- and maybe even worship, a little bit- SUNRISE, the Vojnovy, and their SongBird Initiative. So when Kataar was eighteen and had finished school, she got a job as a secretary. She worked her way up the hierarchy, getting more and more brainwashed as she went, until she was boss of the whole project and believed she was doing the right thing; that SongBird was for the greater good.

Other: Open to shipping, both genders.

This is genuinely my last charrie, by the way-- I only made an exception to my previous statement so I could have a truly villainous charrie.

Name: Madu Tovenarij, however, they go by the code name 'Scythe', 'Webspinner', or just simply 'Boss'.

Gender: Male

Species: Lohikäärme, a dragon-like species, quite rare as they come from a small moon

Home World: Unohdettu-B, one of two moons circling the planet Unohdettu-A. The other moon is called Unohdettu-C.

Job/Occupation: Leader/founder of SUNRISE

Age: 238, however, Lohikäärme age very slowly and live up to 500-ish years.

Abilities: Can live for an incredibly long time. Freakishly intelligent, almost unnaturally so. Prehensile tail. Lohikäärme are extremely fast, with excellent reflexes. They can also read auras, and always know other's emotions, and if they are lying or not. However, this doesn't work on androids.

Appearance: Dark, navy blue skin with a few scattered scales and thin fur that seems to glow and shine under any sort of light. Deer-like antlers that are a shimmering silver, and his underbelly is as dark as the night sky.. Stands on two tall legs, which have large black claws on them. His eyes are a royal blue, with the irises/pupil being slightly lighter than the rest of the eyes. Four eyes. Sharp, pointed teeth, and a long, royal blue forked tongue. Long tail. Silver spikes starting from his snout and ending at the tip of his tail. Large ears with several piercings. Rubies, emeralds, and diamonds are embedded amongst the scales on his neck and arms. Near the base of his spikes are scattered white flecks. Usually wears an elegant white or black suit, and no shoes.

Personality: Sharp and cunning, possibly a little narcissistic. His moral compass is totally off stray-- while he knows some of the things he does are wrong, he believes it to be for the 'greater good' and genuinely believes the galaxy would be safer if SUNRISE controlled it. Willing to do whatever it takes to make sure he takes over the galaxy, even if it means working with the Vojnovy and causing entire species to go extinct.

Current Home: Unknown. A very select amount of SUNRISE members know what he looks like, and nobody knows where he's currently hiding.

Allies: SUNRISE, the Vojnovy, the SongBird Initiative, and the other members of his species...who are all SUNRISE members.

Enemies: Anyone who opposes SUNRISE's goals, including but not limited to-- direadh, Philians, common criminals, species enslaved by the Vojnovy, and the Truthseekers/those who travelled to Philia.

Backstory: I'll reveal this in the rp, but for now I want it to remain a secret.

Other: Closed to shipping.
