rodiziorobs Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 I think Starstriker has become the Natasha Yar of Andromeda's Gates. I don't get it... Quote
VK-318 Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 (edited) I don't get it... Lieutenant Natasha Yar was the original chief of security for the Enterprise-D in Star Trek: The Next Generation. She died before the end of the first year of the show, making her the first main character of an ongoing Star Trek TV show to die and not be resurrected. Her death was likely intended to establish to the audience that main characters could get hurt or die - to establish some real viewer concern for main characters. In-story, her death also had a significant impact on certain members of the crew, particularly Data. While Starstriker is dead, the plotline in which he was involved continues to move, and, along with the death of John Hannibal, sets the sort of atmosphere of risk that lets builders like me pull off monologues about potentially impending doom without sounding ridiculous - main characters have died before, so we might not be bluffing. Does that make sense? It's very late at night, and I'm afraid I'm starting to ramble. Edited June 18, 2016 by VK-318 Quote
Mr Greeble Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) Yeah, like in movies where the villain is completely unbeatable - You just know the heroes will beat him. (X-men Apocalypse for example) Because most action-y movies do that, you always expect the villain to be beaten, no matter how unbeatable he is. Likewise, no one expects main characters to die, so no matter how bad it looks for the hero, you know they'll pull through. Now that main characters have started dying in Andromeda, people realize that they are not immortal or invincible, and the people reading our stories now are a little more fearful and curious about what happens next to our characters.

Dannylonglegs Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 That third Alien fleet just became my worst enemy. Fortunately, I had a contintingency plan... I pray it doesn't stay two weeks in a row... ~Insectoid Aristocrati Quote

Dannylonglegs Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) Bob, could you add this Entry to the Known Lifeforms of G10 category of the Traveller's Guide to Andromeda? (Assuming that Space travel is a requisite for counting as Advanced, they don't fit that category yet... but if this is not a requirement, they may fit that category.) Oni-Ren Description: Named by an early Kawashita explorer whose crew was taken hostage and eaten by one of their smaller clans, the Oni-Ren of G10's Onix have developed a reputation throughout the galaxy as a backwards people. A.L.I.E.N. refuses to work with them, since the Zoid are considered a delicacy by the Oni-Ren, and the uncooperative feeling is mutual. They are one-eyed humanoid sentients with a tough hide and high heat tolerance. The Oni-Ren are universally matriarchal, and not egalitarian, with the males of the species unable to hold positions of power, and often serving as foot soldiers during times of war. The largest organized government of the Oni-Ren, the Gongen Empire, dominates almost the entirety of Onix's north pole where some of the most fertile land, and greatest deposits of copper can be found. The empire is characterized by lack of trust for Offworlders, and maintains a policy of isolationism. The Oni-Ren from the empire and those within its range of influence all follow a similar religion featuring a pantheon of celestial figures for whom many copper statues have been erected. Recently a deadly illness has spread to the Gongen Empire, known as "Black-Eye"... the Gongen Empire lacks the technology level to effectively combat the illness and refuses to work with outsiders who may be able to help them. Threat Level: Medium to High. Depends on what clan or faction one encounters. Many are openly hostile when encountering offworlders. The consumption of sentient species holds no taboo to the Oni-Ren. Even among more "civilized" factions, outsiders are often treated poorly. Source: Octan's cultural informant, Ba'al-Ba'al Jinks. ~Insectoid Aristocrat Edited July 6, 2016 by Dannylonglegs Quote
