Okay, I'm getting started on this now because if I don't then I never will.
This is both a planet, tech, race/possible character, and empire request. Further requests will be placed in the appropriate areas but the first ones are gonna be here. It's going to be long.
Empire Name: The Empire of Ferrari
Primary Race: It's primary races are the Smiths and the Mercers. And theres some zombie slaves but I don't think they count.
Empire Description: The empire was created by C'thulhu who convinced the two races to serve him with promises of power and ultimate domination.
Additional Information: It is a Capitalistic-Commune in that while it's government is strictly Communist it's economy is Capitalistic, in that there is but one leader and that is C'thulhu.
Territories: The entire planet of Ferrari.
The Smiths:
Smiths are humanoid creatures with an extreme affinity for creating and upgrading. The reason they're called Smiths is because on their planet they have constructed many huge metal working factories in which they create most of their weapons, armor, and technology. Smiths have super-human strength and extremly hard scales covering their body strong enough to stop a .300 caliber bullet, hence the reason all their weapons from pistols to shot guns are always over .300.
Religion: Less of a religion and more of a simple truth they believe in Dakka. Dakk being Smith slang for rapid fire capability, based on the onomatopoeia for automatic guns shooting. They beleive that you need moar of it. No exceptions.

An example of a small amount of Dakka.
-
Communism is an economic system. And its pretty much the opposite of capitalism.
-
I think he means that its a monarchy with capitalist properties.
-
The empire was created by C'thulhu
NO RIPS! That's from lovecraft, not happening. Change it.
-
...
Cthulhu never made a empire or anything in the Lovecraft Mythos. He's a freakin' high priest of his kind, if Orga's right about that stuff, but not a leader. This is Orga's character-Which YOU approved, might I add-who he likes calling Cthulhu. Trust me, its not a rip.

It's still a character known only to that damn book. And yes, I approved it, after telling him to change the name before. That character is not in any other fiction besides that or derivations off that. Change the name, no rips. And don't tell me it's not a rip, it's obvious it is, his avatar, his obsession. Yeaaaaah, nice try.
-
Its been a while since he's been online, so he's not going to remember every last detail. Dont immediately think he's ripping it off just because he's using the same name.
Yes, he likes the Cthulhu mythos. But he's TOLD most of his empire to me. Its not really anything like the Lovecraft stuff. The things not even fully posted, so dont jump to conclusions.

Doesn't matter. THE NAME IS A RIP. The name HAS to change. End of discussion.
-
Fine, then. But all you've gotta do is ask him to change it, not say the entire thing is a rip off because of a damn name. Like I said, its been a while since he's been on. He hasn't had a good source of internet for a few monthes.
-
Hik...I dont think that it matters about the name
I ripped alot of names
-
Hik...I dont think that it matters about the name
I ripped alot of names
It does when it's known ONLY TO THAT FICTION.
Lets name a character Vegeta while we're at it, shall we? Or how abut Yugi? Or! Let's name one XANA!
No, names can be a rip off just as much as ideas and concepts, if its not a common name.
-
Comon....Grunder Industries-----> Initial Concept was a Total rip from Ace combat
Mark Tepper- Rip from SOCOM
I mean really....who gives a fuck

The staff trying to not get sued and be original?!
-
The copyright on the Lovecraft mythos has run out, you know...I think.
-
The copyright on the Lovecraft mythos has run out, you know...I think.
Still not original. Go post that character any other RP forum? People would know right off where it's from. NOT ORIGINAL!
-
Doesn't mean that the entire thing is a rip off. He's made it derived, not a rip off. And complete originality is almost impossible, anyways. We all get inspired by the work of others, you know.
-
That's true, I derived Lucifer off the design of C'Thulu. But I only derived it, and the name certainly wasn't the same.
-
He'd changed the name as well, at the request of the staff. He just forgot, on the terms of him being gone so long. -__-
-
Okay, I'm getting started on this now because if I don't then I never will.
This is both a planet, tech, race/possible character, and empire request. Further requests will be placed in the appropriate areas but the first ones are gonna be here. It's going to be long.
Empire Name: The Capitalisctic-Commune of Ferrari
Primary Race: It's primary races are the Smiths and the Ferrarians. And theres some zombie slaves but I don't think they count.
Empire Description: The empire was created by C'thulhu who convinced the two races to serve him with promises of power and ultimate domination.
Additional Information: It is a Capitalistic-Commune in that while it's government is strictly Communist it's economy is Capitalistic, in that there is but one leader and that is C'thulhu.
Territories: The entire planet of Ferrari.
umm... Dude... I think you mean that their government is totalitarian. The governments that claim to communism are actually Marxist Socialists, or Maoist socialists.
-
@Hik: I have stated in C'thulhu's request that his name was originally Dr. Keith Yuto but that after his transformation he changed it to C'thulhu. Also, the only thing my C'thulhu has in relation to Lovecraft's C'thulhu is the name and general appearance minus the tattoos. C'thulhu never made an empire, hell he was only in one single short story, and all he did was wake up, kill two or three people, then get hit in the head by a boat. Plus Hiro is right, no one has copyrights on C'thulhu.
@Zak: I'm trying to make it like the Soviet Union but with some Capitalistic ideals.
-
...
C'thulu, dude, seriously?
1. THEY HAD NO CAPITALISTIC IDEALS (anyone with them was shot)
2. The soviet union WAS totalitarian that was their government, they called themselves 'communist' but the weren't.
3 We already have the USSR.
-
Hikuru, 1 admin should be able to over rule you, so I dont see why your so negetive and, well, not gonna say that.
It could always be explained that C'thulu was an alian who visited Earth and was written about, thought to be fiction, and later copyrited by Lovecraft. Tada!
and I agree with Zak. But if you want Capitolist Ideas, then you should name them
-
I'm with Hik. Change the C'Thulhu. Also, Dakka is from Warhammer 40k. Please edit it out.
-
Ok, hold on.
Whats wrong with their religion being dakka? Its a homage to the orks of Warhammer 40k. It is from it, but its not copying the circumstances of it or anything. Dakka is just Ork slang for ammo.
And the C'thulu isn't copyrighted, nor does C'thulu actually really do anything in Lovecraft. He's just a high pries of some sort. Its not a rip.
-
C'thulhu is a name from another piece of work.
Let's assume the works of George Lucas aren't copyrighted. If I made a character named Anakin Skywalker, and he was NOTHING like the original character, would it still be a rip?
-
Yes, it is. But it is still a completely different concept design. Oh! Its got the same name! It must be ripped! No.
I wouldn't consider it so. Not at all.
-
If it's original to another persons work and has only been used there, it's a rip.
There's a difference between calling your character Mario or Zelda, from a videogame. Those are regular names, names people use commonly.
But you wouldn't go and name your character Voldemort.
-
Still, my original character has a ripoff name, so I need to change the character's name. This also applies to Dakka.
-
Meh, whatever, Hik.
And again, Dakka is just a homage. Why are you guys so against it?
-
Hik, C'thulhu has been used in other places other than the original work, perhaps you've heard of C'thulhu tech? But if you still find it a "rip" then how's this: You come up with a name that sounds good and fits charactar then I'll happily change it. And, as Zak has said, Dakka is meant as an homage not a rip. Besides, I didn't come here to be harassed by people wanting everything to be original, I came here because I like rping and my friends are here.
EDIT: Oh and another thing, why are you being so uptight about this but not the God or Lucifer charecters, I mean in Hik's own words:Go post that character any other RP forum? People would know right off where it's from. NOT ORIGINAL!
-
Aaand Koty, and Eli, and the Anti-Christs, and the list goes on and on... And thats from the Bible alone! Let alone everything Lyoko and others have done.
-
I mean, it's not that i don't understand where you guys are coming from, it's just that C'thulhu isn't a rip. At all. I mean the first iteration (theres a ten cent word for ya) was a rip, but then I completly changed it and kept only the appearance and name. Surley you can see why it's not a rip?
-
Besides, I didn't come here to be harassed by people wanting everything to be original, I came here because I like rping and my friends are here.
This is not a casual RP site, we have rules. And no rips is one of them.
Rip Off is Lovecraft mythology, NOT REAL LIFE.
Lucifer, God, and stuff, are real life, and we derived from them, that is all. Eli and Koty aren't even gods anymore. And Anti-christ isn't going to be used as a term.
Rip Off on the other hand is completely fictional from a fictional work.
Last time I'm going to say this. CHANGE THE DAMN NAME!
-
Hikaru, you cannot say that the Bible is not fictional. You can't. It is a history of stuff but a lot of it is religious bias. I'm not saying the Bible is wrong. But it is at least a bit fictional.
And his name is C'thulu, yes, but he is a completely different character. Just like you Koty and Eli, and whoever else it is, like Lyoko's Mark Tepper.
-
Hikaru, you cannot say that the Bible is not fictional. You can't. It is a history of stuff but a lot of it is religious bias. I'm not saying the Bible is wrong. But it is at least a bit fictional.
IRL, unless you're atheist, it's completely historical. And we're not going to get into a debate about that.
-
C'thulhu is Lovecraft mythology, NOT REAL LIFE.
Lucifer, God, and stuff, are real life.
1. I know people that would kill for such an insult.
2. I can say the same thing for C'thulhu.
-
Look, Hik, I'm a Christian, but i beleive that the Bible has been a bit tampered with, and has a great deal of bias in it.
-

... Oh my fucking god, are you being damn serious? If you are, I'm sorry, but you're a fucking god damn idiot.
The authors even admitted it being fake, they even wrote it saying it was fake. Are you going to tell me you actually believe in some act of fucking stupidity, that their creation is real? .........Staff, I believe we need an insane asylum.
-
Have you not heard of the cult that worships C'thulu? Wiki C'thulu.
-
Have you not heard of the cult that worships C'thulu? Wiki C'thulu.
IT'S A GOD DAMN PIECE OF FICTION. IF THE AUTHOR SAID IT WAS REAL, OKAY. BUT THE AUTHORS MADE IT AS A FICTION.
Next you're going to tell me Stephen King's stories are real, and that Willy Wonka does exist! .....Stop right now, before you make yourself look even more retarded.
-
*sigh* Look, all I'm saying is that people beleive different things from others and that my charactar C'thulhu is not a rip also, Hik you're reaction did not fail to make me laugh my ass off, it could've been funnier but it was still pretty damn funny.
-
Look, Hik, people believe different things. I think its dumb as hell, but those people don't. So, you bible excuse has no floor to stand on.
-
C'thulhu's fiction.
God is not.
Me, K2, and Hik believe that, making us the majority of staff.
C'thulhu is a rip.
Hik, please chill out.
Find a different name, or no approval.
-
How about you find a different name? For C'thulhu that is.
-
It's YOUR character, it's YOUR job to find a new name if you want us to approve.
-
C'THULHU FITS! I could change it eight different times. It still wouldn't fit the charactar.
-
I believe the Bible is real, but most of the world doesn't Hik. If you want a good argument, than appeal it to all religions.
Anyway C'thulhu you could call your character Cathulhu
-
Cag=t-thulu doesn't look right.
-
?
-
It doesn't look as cool or exotic.
-
Well from the poll it's looking like his new name is going to be Ra' Kath.
-
I still like Lok-Tok... Just sayin' :P
-
Where's the poll? I wanna vote! I wanna vote!
-
Its in the off topic section, Nik.
-
I still like Lok-Tok... Just sayin' :P
Yeah, I kinda liked Lok-Tok too. It has a rhyme to it......hmmm....Lok-Tok.....I think I'm going to be making a new charactar soon.
I also I was this close to making C's new name be R'pof just outta spite.
-
I would totes approve R'pof :P
-
Okay, now that his name is Ra' Kath and not
what it should be Azathothdammit C'thulhu can we all get along?
Request continued:
Okay, I'm getting started on this now because if I don't then I never will.
This is both a planet, tech, race/possible character, and empire request. Further requests will be placed in the appropriate areas but the first ones are gonna be here. It's going to be long.
Empire Name: The Empire of Ferrari
Primary Race: It's primary races are the Smiths and the Mercers. And theres some zombie slaves but I don't think they count.

Additional Information: It is a Capitalistic-Commune in that while it's government is strictly Communist it's economy is Capitalistic, in that there is but one leader and that is C'thulhu.
Territories: The entire planet of Ferrari.
The Smiths:
Smiths are humanoid creatures with an extreme affinity for creating and upgrading. The reason they're called Smiths is because on their planet they have constructed many huge metal working factories in which they create most of their weapons, armor, and technology. Smiths have super-human strength and extremly hard scales covering their body strong enough to stop a .300 caliber bullet, hence the reason all their weapons from pistols to shot guns are always over .300.
Religion: Less of a religion and more of a simple truth they believe in Gakka. Gakka being Smith slang for rapid fire capability, based on the onomatopoeia for automatic guns shooting. They beleive that you need moar of it. No exceptions.
(http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/more_dakka.jpg)
An example of a small amount of Gakka.
Powers/Magic Abilities: Smiths have two hearts making them even harder to kill, and can turn a hunk of metal into a working gun in a matter of minutes. They also have a mild control over fire able to radiate enough heat from thier palms that they can melt the metal they use to construct thier weapons and other such things.
Appearance:
(http://th03.deviantart.net/fs43/300W/i/2009/135/1/d/Gears_of_War___Grenadier_by_BlkBullet23.jpg) A bit like this.
-
Ra'Kath sounds to similar to C'thulhu! It's totally a rip! Denied!
.......
Okay just kidding. Dakka still needs to be fixed though.
-
Dude, you're killin me right now, besides it's an homage, a subtle wink wink nod nod to 40k.
-
Homages and wink winks are fine to certain point. But Dakka is too close to the original concept.
-
......what if I call it Gakka?
-
WAKK FLAKKA?
-
NO! HELL FUCKING NO! NOT THAT! NOT THAT!
-
With the Ra' Kath and Gakka changes, approved.
-
Alright.
RQ: Cont...
Mercers:
Robotic beings that stand at an average of twelve feet tell. They came through a dimensional warp on one of their ships, The Obliterator, and crash landed on Ferrari 1,000 years ago. When they were discovered by the Smiths they were all but revered as gods, since then the Smiths and the Mercers have lived in a sybiotic relationship with the Smiths acting as a sort of pit crew for the Mercers and the
Mercers providing Smiths with new tech and have since then multiplied to be very numerous upon the planet Ferrari.
Religion: They, The Mercers, beleive that we should all be unique, and as such it is almost impossible to find two Mercers that look exactly alike.
Abilities/Magical Powers: Aside from being fucking giants they are extremely good warriors, which kinda makes sense their life kinda revokves around it. they're kinda like robot spartans to be honest. They are made completly of metal but are an oddity seing as they have souls and reproduce via sexual intercourse. They also have minimal shapeshifting abilities, being able to turn thier arms or legs, etc into anything from weapons to wheels to jetpacks....so long as they've had those components built into them.
Appearance: They kinda look like Bionicles.
Ferrari: Ferrari is the home planet of the Smiths and was at one point a very lush rich world, now however it has become an indusrialists dream, with only a few sections of plant life left. About fifty years ago it came under control of C'thul Ra' Kath and since then become very prosperous. The people of Ferrari are extremly devoted to their Emperor, Ra' Kath. They revere him as a god and would do anything for him.

I ripped alot of names

No, names can be a rip off just as much as ideas and concepts, if its not a common name.
Hikaru is a rip you know, as it's in multiple series, if you follow that logic we can't use any name that has every been used, unless it's very original..like Hipananinkaitatitity.
-
But Hikaru is a common name, unlike C'thulhu.
-
I really love how Hikaru changed whatever is filtered to be changed to Rip Off, because it totally allows me to understand what is a rip off, because you know, fucking intelligence.
-
C'thulhu
-
The only place I've heard Hikaru was being one of those anime Lego men with the rubber hair that was to big for its body.
-
Thunder...I dont think you watch much anime.
-
I know that theres some anime show with a main character named Hikaru.
RQC:
Tech: Seeing as how the Smiths update thier weaponry after every little skirmish or fight there are many variations of these weapons that are specific to a region of Ferrari, however these are the standards.
.357 pistol: An average Smith Pistol, capabable of tearing through most targets like shit through a goose. It looks like your avaerage Magnum except huge.
DW23: A Smith caliber Sub-Machine Gun capable of firing 50 shots per second on full auto. It is retro fitted with a Hammerspace ammo clip that holds 340 rounds.
Looks moe or less like this:
http://hushedcasket.com/files/hammerburst.jpg
Javelin: A variation of the DW23 but fitted with a chainsaw bayonet and faster rate of fire.
http://www.ps3informer.com/playstation-3/images/lancer.jpg
Shoggoths/Shoggoth Power Armor: An extremly advanced peice of equipment, it is normally warn by Ra' Kath's elite guard, The Shoggoths (hence the name). It enhances the wearers strength twelve fold an and is nearly indestructible, The only thing capable of surviving a nuclear blast. However being extremly expensive to make there are only seven of them in the universe. It's wearer must go through many years of training before they are even allowed to look at it and several more before they can wear it. Then they are put through surgery to be given an extra heart, and another lung that is capable of filtering all sorts of toxins from the air they are breathing, and a skin implant that allows them to interface directly with the suit.
-
ja, and there was one that was LEGO. I don't watch much anime because I don't get very many channels.
-
Actually, that wouldn't matter, the whole channel thing. Not a lot of anime is shown on TV, far as I know. As for the lego, I've never heard of it. In any case, lets not post too much more in here. It is Cthulhu's topic, after all.
-
Thank you Hiro.
-
I know that theres some anime show with a main character named Hikaru.

All approved, except for DW23. HAMMERSPACE is Paxan technology.
-
All approved, except for DW23. HAMMERSPACE is Paxan technology.
Hammerspace is just a word I use to describe an expanded storage container that can hold more objects than it should physically be able to with out putting extra weight on a being, such as Link's pack. If you want I'll just change it's name.
-
We here at SP use pocket dimensions for that sort of things. Just say they have pocket dimension clips. HAMMERSPACE is something totally different used exclusively by the United Paxans.
-
...And Blaze, since I made the idea of it.

Ah I see.....and what exactly is his Hammerspace that you speak of?
-
Its a device you attach onto something, that is controlled by your mind. It converts objects of the user's wish(at least, non-complex biological organisms and no ships) into data, to store within the device, allowing you to keep maaaaany more things with you at a time. Cant find room to put away that minigun of yours? With the Hammerspace system, its converted into data, and stored in it. By the same token, it can also return these items into a physical form, so you can get these things back.
-
Please post technology requests in the proper board.
-
I figured that I'd just put the starter requests for my empire in here and any additional tech/ship/etc requests would go in the proper places. To make it easier.
-
I understand that, but lets try to keep things in their proper place. Keeps us staff from getting confused.
-
Wait.....are you Orph? And alright I'll go make a tech request page when I'm not feeling procrastinaty.
-
Yes, he is.
-
Okay, heres the whole thing. Complete and finished.
Empire Name: The Empire of Ferrari
Primary Race: It's primary races are the Smiths and the Mercers. And theres some zombie slaves but I don't think they count.
Empire Description: The empire was created by Ra' Kath who convinced the two races to serve him with promises of power and ultimate domination.
Additional Information: It's main work force consists of Zombies that Ra' Kath has brought back into being. They do everything from policing the planet to driving garbage trucks. Ferrari is located in the Kalak Galaxy I suppose.
Territories: The entire planet of Ferrari.

All apporved or no?
-
Approved, just remember the clips are pcoket dimensions, not hammerspace.
-
Approved.
-
Cool, so when will it be put up on the board. Or do I have to put it up myself?
-
Using
