OOC
Welcome to our first couple of players!
For anyone who was wondering when I'm going to ask for their backstory, that'll be covered during the opening posts of the game in a more interactive way than just asking you to write me an essay. You'll probably also be wondering about the setting since I haven't jotted down any world information. As our game is all about leaving the old world behind it felt like a bit of a waste to expend much effort there. That means you have pretty free rein to make up facts about the world when jotting down your character history.
The main gist so we're all on the same page: The country that is sending out the colony ship is a Mageocracy, they're advanced, highly cultured and very prosperous. Now that's not to say they've never had strife, but at the current moment life good. (One doesn't look at expansion when struggling with too many internal issues.)
Feel free to ask any questions here in case other players are wondering the same thing!
