New Yuuzhan Vong Faction [Interest Check]

[Juggerduck]

I'm wondering if there's any interest in a new Yuuzhan Vong-based faction, based not on conquest and warfare but exploration, Vong science, and vongforming. If you're into comics books, I'm looking at this as a sort of "Galactus/Silver Surfer" kind of thing. We're awful, but we're looking to co-exist.

Q: What's in it for me?
A: Exploration, world-building, species creation, and the ability to work on unusual characters in a friendly, nurturing environment.

Q: Are Force-sensitive characters welcome? Droids? Bionics?
A: No. Force-sensitive characters have like eight hundred and seven Force-based factions, with more popping up every day. Yuuzhan Vong don't like the Force, don't embrace the Force, and don't care about the Force. I think you can see where I'm going with this. No droids or bionics because the Vong hate those sorts of things. If you need an upgrade we can do it the old-fashioned way. Through pain, genetic engineering, and bio-enhancements.

Q: Can non-Yuuzhan Vong characters join?
A: Absolutely. In fact, it's encouraged, so long as you understand the goal of the faction: exploration and forming worlds for the Vong to live on. Scouts, scientists, and other helpful sentients would be great.

Q: Dominions and Invasions: Yea or Nay?
A: I'm a firm believer in "never say never," and I'm sure at some point we're going to be invaded or otherwise tested, but it's not the point of the faction.

Other questions?

are you the horde?
and do you want to buy ships?

 

[Juggerduck]

Not the Horde. The Vong have their own ships, but non-Vong will probably want some, and we can maybe use some freight haulers, if you've got them.

 

[sabrina]

Not yet, I currently got interceptor, fighter, bombers, gunships.
Though I make freighter for you

Any room for smart apes? That can't talk...
Unless you Vong know sign language?

Yes! This! I've been wantingto make a Vong character every since I got here, but I didn't know how to go about doing it without other people rping Vongs- would be hard to rp a technofobe if you didn't have acess to Vong biotechnology. Where do I sign up?

 

[Judah Dashiell]

*Raises hand*

Helpful droids? Don't the Vong hate non-Vong technology?

 

[Juggerduck]

The gentleman makes a valid point that had slipped my mind! First post edited: No droids. Thanks for keeping me honest, Judah!

 

[sabrina]

So no ships then?

 

[Juggerduck]

@Ceran: I think we'd need to figure out a way of communicating effectively with you. Maybe a Vong NPC, or else you'd need to make it clear that you understand what's going on and what's required. Tough for you to ask questions or discuss things though, but if you're game, it'd certainly be a way to develop your character.

@Bugman: right here!

But... the Horde... :O

I was planning for Ceran to evolve further overtime to be capable of speech, but I can make that much sooner, since the sound of this new faction interests me alot.
Count me in.

I'll be making a vong character- will comment here when I get around to making him.
What are the restrictions on being a sucessful shaper?

 

[sabrina]

Do you want to make freighter for your faction?

I think we should go with what's EU canon for the Shaper caste: Shaper Initiate, Shaper Adept, and Master Shaper. New characters would start as Initiates.

 

[Juggerduck]

Do you want to make freighter for your faction?

Let's see if we have enough interest to have a faction first, then we can assess our needs.

 

[Juggerduck]

But... the Horde...

As they say in Poland,

"Not my circus, not my monkeys." (No offense, Ceran)

Decided to go with the warrior caste. Two things:

1.) Do you need a Warmaster, or shall I start as a warrior (lowest rank)?
2.) Sign me up!

 

[Garza]

[member="Thid Qaal"], I remember joining you when you first started the Vong a long while back. Too bad I don't have my Vong anymore.

Oh and a question for you on force users.
I know you stated that they did not like it, but could you tolerate it? I was wanting some plans to work with the Vong for a character of mine, and well, he is force sensitive. I ask because others may want the ability to work with you guys as well. But for you to trust a Force user, I would say that you make them do something to prove that they can be trusted. And is on a case by case basis.

Just a thought bro.

 

[Juggerduck]

Honestly, there are so many places for Force users to go, I'd really rather keep them out of here. If someone is Force sensitive and doesn't reveal it to anyone I think it could make for interesting roleplaying, but not open acceptance of Force sensitive/Force using characters.
