The Divine Embrace
The Divine Embrace was a vessel known for its opulence. Grand halls, the latest technology, more than enough entertainment, this is the place to go if you have money and want to do nothing at all for some time. The decks are divided into a few separate classes, arranged in affordability. While the majesty of the decks are appropriate to their pricing, even the lowest class deck is a majestic piece of architecture. Aside form the other decks, there is also a far more hush-hush deck on the ship. The unconfirmed truth of the Hidden Deck, only accessible with permission. A deck based on sensuality, sexuality, with entire sections devoted to temporarily removing inhibitions.
The truth however, is this is merely a very fun front to the real mission. The Lady Sphenta seeks knowledge in all its forms, having a smaller deck for her personal crew of daring individuals. As the cruise ship travels the stars, they are sent onto the worlds themselves to seek information and tales. This would not require a team of interesting individuals however, the team comes in when things become a little unorthodox. From plunging into ruins to doing battle with monsters, the team is there to do the heavy lifting. The perks reflect the nature of the work, with access to the Hidden Deck, and a room on the Crew lounge, with all the amenities of home. Not to mention all the money to be had.
The Crew's Backstage
Those joining the Backstage, Lady Sphenta's personal go team, can expect a room all their own in the Crew lounge. These rooms are moderate high class, and for as long as the individual is on the team, the room is theirs to customize. Keep in mind that this is adventure, but not all
characters need to be rough and tumble shooty people. A scientist, a researcher, a determined interstellar librarian, a soldier, a mercenary, an utterly alien individual, if you have a line of work that can help the cause, sign up today for fantastic perks, a great work environment, and the chance to see the stars! Also money. Tons of money.
The Mysterious Lady Sphenta
The face of the Divine Arms is Lady Sphenta, a Chongwu feline and owner of the Divine Arms. She is responsible for the video tours, her sultry voice taking passengers of tours of the world below from the comfort of their rooms, but she herself is rarely seen, far too busy to attend all but the most important of events. Her second in command is Alymande Sphenta, said to be a far more outgoing personality. Twin sisters, but the rumors are that there has only ever been one Sphenta sister. The Backstage are the only individuals with the definite answer, but they won't tell.
Expectations in the Meta Realm: Posts
Current posting speed will find the GM posting at least once a week. This is a soft cap, as I have more free time than I let on. Do not think you need to limit yourself, especially in the context of interaction. Go for it, but keep in mind the others in the interaction as well. If there's only two of you, don't worry about it, but if there's more, perhaps it would be better to give everyone a chance.
This is Soft Canon, a brilliant classification that lets us play around a bit. In Soft Canon you could use your characters from other
plots, and you'd get to say it never happened, because technically it hasn't. You could of course make entirely new characters for the purposes of lewd and adventure, that would be fantastic as well. When adding a character, think on why they'd wish to join the Backstage. For the thrill of it? The money to be gained? Perhaps you have other motives for hopping on a Cruise Ship for the wealthy? Keep these in mind when adding characters, or creating entire new ones.
