Eden: Sci-Fi/light fantasy Project.

First Words: I've been planning on doing a science fiction roleplay for a while now. Having been through quite a few revisions the current status of readiness is not full. This being said there are still aspects open to creativity and interpretation.

Premise:
Humanity is just starting to reach out to the stars. (Current year left to speculation atm) Exploring Mar's more and setting up a small science facility the mars expedition finds the gate. (Alternatively found on Earth.) The gate left by unknown origin's is activated and leading to a new planet. Eden it is named (name up for debate along with rp title) for it's perfect atmosphere and land region. A whole continent resembling Earth's atmosphere and life. The continent unclaimed and perfect for humanity it becomes the start of a new city/country. As the planet becomes more known it is found to be approximately eight times (give or take as world is more fleshed out) the size of earth. The planet also spins on a infinity shaped loop between two perfectly placed suns. (If looked at a 2d image summer would be when the planet is between both suns and winter being when it is on the edge of it's loop with one of the suns.) Days are close to normal during summer as two parts of Eden would experience day from the multiple suns. Winters being rather long nights.

The colony/country grows and becomes independent of needs from Earth though still in much contact. (Or none depending on state of earth to be decided. Earth will also have little impact on the roleplay. The majority of it would be to take place inside the main city of Eden.) Exploring the new planet of Eden Humanity finds they are not alone; other continents scatter the world. Some continents are inhabited by other sentient races coming to Eden much the same as they have. (And a number of continents left unfilled.) Along with this discovery is that of the relics left on the planet. The relics are similar to that of the 'stargates' that brought each race here. (Such as a forge that can create incredible steel. Steel that can be used for armor that easily blocked bullets. The forge was the first thought I had one a relic, it adds a unique twist to the modern combat in a sci fi world.) There are other mysteries left undiscovered, things left behind by those who came before along with much more.

So what is this roleplay to be about?:
Well I would like to think at it's core it's almost a sandbox style roleplay. However I have some overarching plots in mind relating to the mysteries of the world, a potential crime syndicate, and a type of rise to power and certain characters trying to become the leader/s of Eden.

Would I be able to make my own plots?:
I personally LOVE it when people create their own stories in a world that I've made. As I'm taking a more GM type role if this roleplay is created instead of a more player one all I ask of you to create your own lore or plots is to simply mention it to myself just to keep everything coherent in the world.

Your Tag Says Co-GM. Do you need one?:
I would not say that I need one, though I need one. I personally do not have the most experience with roleplaygateway and let alone a roleplay of this scale that I want to do. I'd love to have someone to bounce ideas and plots off of, someone to help with roleplaying the characters for a plot, and practically everything a normal GM does.

Size Of The Roleplay:
I have no limitation in mind for the roleplay. I think the only limitation I could ever think of is to get beyond the point where I can't handle the roleplay. (See Co-GM for help on this part) So no I don't have a limitation on how big the roleplay can get player or world wise.
On this same note while I don't see it so much on RPG I've come from a career of roleplay where everyone ends up roleplaying multiple characters. I don't expect anyone to contribute like this but if someone wants to they would be more than free to do so. I don't really see this as needed as much as my previous roleplays with a dedicated GM to play multiple characters for the sake of keeping a plot going.

Text Vs. Chat based roleplay:
I know there are pros and cons of both of these systems. Personally I enjoy a chat based roleplay though I'm not sure if that would be best for RPG. In conclusion I think it will end up coming down to a preference of what people will want out of this roleplay. (Now I don't see anything wrong with using a combination in some way. Specifically chat for planned conversations between characters.)

What do you mean by light Fantasy?
By light fantasy I don't specifically mean there are to be dragons and wizards with pointy hats. By fantasy I find the ancient alien race type of deal to be somewhat less core sci-fi and something with a bit of mystery you'd often find in a fantasy world. I also have plans to add in some form of supernatural power element on a small scale but to be there nonetheless which also brings to the more magical side of fantasy.

Qeustions/Contacting Me:
If you have any questions or suggestions feel free to post bellow. Please comment if this roleplay interests you so I know if I should even make this roleplay. If you want to contact me more directly I try to be in the ooc chat or you can simply private message me.
