Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #800 – August 13, 2014, 05:15:11 AM Hey folks.I think my mojo is coming back. Hopefully I'll be able to post more from this point on.
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #801 – August 14, 2014, 11:28:03 PM A long overdue project of mine that has finally gotten somewhere. I think IronFerrox in particular will like it.Please let me know what might be further improved:Original:Raw phase:Finished for critique:Thank you in advance!Best Regards,Auctor Lucan
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #802 – August 15, 2014, 09:48:18 PM How in the name of all that is holy did you do that??? I am seriously impressed.
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #803 – August 15, 2014, 10:20:22 PM Thank you! Like always I used Photoshop CS5 and I used the top picture as a template to start with. I then found the head of Quorra from Tron via google and spliced her head into the picture. I had to use different arms than the original arms - obviously - and I found a real life image of Selena's gun via google as well (as opposed to the drawn one shown here in the OOC thread a couple of months ago). The cybernetic attribute of the limbs were made from copying sections of them and using tools like bevel, emboss, drop shadow, contour and inner glow. The texture of the skin and the colouring was made by desaturating the skin areas and using plenty of red and yellow with the tool Curves, then just brushing out the texture in order to attain the porcelain/doll texture on the artificial limbs. I also found the new torso (with the side-boob) via google and changed colouring and shape to fit the image. The glossy sheen on her cheek and on her limbs were made with a white lighting brush and blurred before being applied to the skin sections. Damage (scars) and the soot on the walls etc. are different brushes that I painted with manually - "by hand" so to speak.Pardon the long explanation... but you asked. Best,Lucan

I already PMed Auctor a character sheet and I am currently waiting to see what he has to say about it. It shouldn't be too long before I get to join the crew (that is, if Auctor accepts me). Anyways, hey!
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #805 – August 18, 2014, 04:43:59 AM Welcome to the group Endeavour. I also wanted to let everyone know internet is back up. We got a new router and a faster internet speed so when needed I should be able to post no problems.
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #806 – August 18, 2014, 04:46:07 AM my current situation is listed in my signature. August is a hectic month for me, but I will be trying to get posts out
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #807 – August 18, 2014, 10:48:27 PM I suppose everyone's noticed, but I have to apologize for how much my posting has slowed down lately. I'm starting college in a few weeks so I've been running around arranging stuff for student loans, registration etc. My bad, and I shall fit in what I can soon.Oh, and welcome, endeavor!
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #808 – August 19, 2014, 12:48:01 AM Welcome Endeavour indeed and thank you all for informing the Group about disturbances in your posting. Something that I will partake in myself as my return to work after the vacation has left me with precious little time in the evenings for writing, time that I have spent administrating the Group through PMs and IMs. Not time wasted at all but rather the opposite, as we for example now have a new crewmember on the Crew Manifest.I think, though, that I may have plenty of time in the afternoon tomorrow to post where I am due. I will be posting a new spreadsheet too, concerning the resolution of cutting the third meetings of the festival in benefit of story progression. Also, we have Endeavour's character Connor Matthews that will enter the story in truth... Stay tuned!Best,Lucan
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #809 – August 19, 2014, 04:07:38 PM Welcome Endeavour to our lovely little group! As for postingwise, I just returned from a 3 days festival. Posting will be slow with work swelling up once more but I'll be able to get one or two posts out in the next coming days. Hope you guys are all having fun during the last days of holiday (or well it's holiday in Europe)
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #810 – August 19, 2014, 05:21:29 PM Provided I get out of work at a reasonable time and that I'm not dead on my feet I intend to post tonight. We're losing another full time employee from my team at the end of the week and the consultant we hired to replace him hasn't started yet...so work is hectic, again.

If you are content with just nixing the pairing, then just say so, but otherwise tell me which second meetings you want to change in order to fit in the affected third meeting.What to do about:1. Simon Tovarek and Cameron Henshaw?2. Thea & Selena Ravenholm? (IronFerrox, you want Thea to meet Miles or Selena in the second meeting?)3. Ens. Maya and Wenn Cinn?4. Miles Renard and Dyan Cardamone?Btw! Those who have wrapped their First Meetings should feel perfectly free to start up the next meeting when the other writer is available for it! I also have some more intrigue to add soon enough, namely through T'Rena being at the Festival... *enigmatic grin*Best,Lucan
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #812 – August 21, 2014, 02:51:19 AM After what happened between Maya and Phantom, I don't know if Maya will be returning to the holodeck tonight. We'll find out if the new counselor can put her back in the party mood or if it will take a medical emergency to get her back to the holodeck.
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #813 – August 21, 2014, 04:05:03 AM to update my internet status during my move, I will likely only lose the weekend, as I will have my internet connection in my new place on the 25th. For the sake of a weekend, I can always hotspot my phone to get posts done.
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #814 – August 21, 2014, 10:37:18 AM Hahahaha Wenn finding out what happened to Maya. Wow that would be bad.
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #815 – August 21, 2014, 12:53:58 PM But it would be drama! We'll see if Auctor Lucan allows it. 8)
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #816 – August 21, 2014, 01:54:58 PM Lol, I am certainly not against drama but with Maya now in session with Counsellor O'Connor and we are cutting the third meeting I can't see how it will fit in with IC timing. I am sure there will be drama enough anyway too.Best,Lucan
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #817 – August 26, 2014, 08:06:44 PM ((the original plan with Dyan and Miles was to meet up About Midnight in the gymnasium area of the ship (one of the fighting/sparring mats most likely) so this wouldn't even occur within the holodeck Unless she is opposed I was going to propose that we could start that thread sometime very soon.)) As for The middle meeting for Dyan (the meeting with Capt. Vasser) If Kuro and Dawinter want to either Dyan can interupt the current conversation between Selena, Ida, and Vasser, or Her and Kuro could go ahead and play out that scene at a time period noted as after the current scene is finished.If Selena gets out of that scene she will probably head to the computer room (trying to dig up dirt on Vasser obviously and Thea may interrupt Selena inquiring what she is up to. Selena could of course say something like she wanted to see the computer systems of a ship with such an advanced AI up close (which is true as well) the conversation could easily turn to wanting to get to know the AI system a little better, perhaps intimately better.In the mean time I can start up a scene where Miles meets up with Thea. They can talk for a bit, possibly things get physical, possibly not then Thea could get interrupted by noticing something is going on in the computer core.((At the very least this means Miles and Thea get to catch up a bit and miles gets to hear how her improvements have been going, after all it was her experience with him the first time that made her realize how human she wanted to be.))
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #818 – August 27, 2014, 12:16:57 AM I am not oppose at all. I also wouldn't mind Dyan interupt the current conversation though it would probably be this weekend. Which brings me to my second reason for posting here. School starts tomorrow along with the nursing program. I have seven classes and clinicals this semester so posting is going to be slow for me I wanted to let everyone know.
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #819 – August 27, 2014, 01:16:19 AM Festival of the Moon DevelopmentAs long as Kurohigi is ok with Dyan Cardamone/Sar-unga Neleo showing up before things get out of hand between the three (Vasser, Ida and Selena), I would certainly not mind to have Ida reflect and question the transformation and implication of the Petty Officer's mission aboard the Harbinger. Would serve for an interesting encounter! Also, I can post a new thread where Thea observes something plot-important happening *smiles enigmatically* and setting the scene for Miles to find her there. This thread will not only lead on to the encounter in the computer core between Thea and Selena (since she has left Vasser, Ida and Dyan behind in our current thread) but also entail a scene between Sjaandin Fedd and two other characters that have been planned between Leonal and I. I hope to be able to post this new thread on the morrow since it's over 1 am here now.New MemberAlso, I would like to take the opportunity to welcome Zenozine, our newest member in our Group RP! He plays Nurse Vojona, who's transfer to the Theurgy from the Harbinger was just made now that the ships have rendevouzed: Ens. Hylota Vojona Nurse [Show/Hide] - Played by ZenozineLarger images of Hylota Vojona can be found in our DeviantArt gallery: http://auctor-lucan.deviantart.com/Now, if anyone has a character that is available for interaction in the Festival of the Moon, Hylota has just arrived there so make sure to make the Nurse feel welcome! Otherwise I might have T'Rena or some other closet villain sink his/her teeth in her...Information on Non-Canon SpeciesZenozine has, with the addition of this medical officer, introduced a new non-canon species named the Ovri to this roleplay as well, and the details about the Ovri can be found behind the "spoiler" button in Hylota Vojona's character sheet for the time being. My plans are, however, that since we have a few non-canon species at this point, we might post the information of these species in a more easily accessible spot on our main board. A new information thread above this OOC thread, perhaps, with info about the Ship AI:s, the Ash'reem, the Asurians, the Câroon, the Nevomites, the Vulpinians and the Ovri. Perhaps even with compiled details about some canon species too, like the Andorians and the Boslic, which doesn't have that much information on them in Memory Alpha.That's all for now! Please let me know over PM if you have any ideas for the plot or the sub-plots to share.Best Regards,Auctor Lucan
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #820 – August 27, 2014, 02:53:06 AM You seem to have forgotten a certain species in that list there.
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #821 – August 27, 2014, 04:04:26 AM Dyan is the second meeting for Declan after Selena/Ida, so setting a prior meeting could help set up him coming back to see her later for their second scene.Note: Tomorrow is a flight day for me. I'll better know how much time I'll have online when I get to where I am going, but tomorrow will be net-less, given I leave at 9 am and arrive close to midnight
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #822 – August 27, 2014, 08:44:57 AM Ah, but of course! I must be growing senile or it was just the late hour lobotomising me. The Vulpinans too, certainly, as they are the non-canon species with perhaps the most information to them over the years we have been running this story. They almost seem canon to me at this point. The list has been corrected and sorry for the overlook. Especially since you have invested so much time and effort into the creation of the species.Btw, did you all know that we had a 3 year anniversary back in the 5th of May this year? I certainly forgot, lol.Kurohigi: Certainly! Then let's wait for Cathreen DaWinter to come briefly crashing the scene with Sar-unga and we'll see how things go. Best,Lucan
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #823 – August 28, 2014, 11:06:12 PM Hey guys. Sorry for my lack of posting. My computer crashed and I was forced to buy a new one. I'm back now though.
Re: Main OOC Thread Reply #824 – August 29, 2014, 06:44:16 AM I keep getting unexpected guests at my house! But I shall be back on the bike after work tomorrow. Sorry for the delay!
