Arrakis. The cracked, brown globe that was once pointless.
Now offworlders land on it, deploy crawler-harvester factories, and hope to make a profit off of melange, the dark red substance buried in the sand. Melange, essence of Shai-Hulud the worm. Shai-Hulud attacks the crawler-harvester factories, because of the vibrations given off by them. Shai-Hulud, a massive, blind, worm. Fremen of Arrakis ride Shai-Hulud, and fight like demons. They attack the offworld soldiers trying to get a grip on Arrakis, a planet that everyone wants. On Arrakis, water has more value then anything.
It is a massive desert, anyway.
Become a Fremen, or warp to Arrakis in a Guild highliner, armed, ready to attack anything. Worms roam, so try not to be torn to bits. And you MUST have the SPICE!
Stuff: Yes, this is a DUNE RP. If you've read the book/watched the movie, good for you. If you havent, try not to do outragous things.
Fremen have stil-suits, and are faster then the 'waterfat offworlders'. You would be skinnier if you had to live on your own sweat and desert rats, wouldent you?
Sheilds and Lasguns do not mix, because of the explosions that can destroy almost anything in a mile's radius.
RULES
-No ubering. Seriously, its just annoying.
-The only way to kill a sandworm is to EMP each of its segments or kill it by exaustion, but that would damage the spice-cycle and offworlders cant even RIDE worms. And I mean, only one sandworm has been killed by EMP because really, you have to catch it, hold it somehow, and stuff.
-NO VAMPIRES. GOD, THOSE AND ZOMBIES AND LYCANTHROPES ARE THE MOST ANNOYING THINGS EVER!
-If your a Freman, you start on Arrakis, if your an offworlder, you start on a highliner or some facilty on Arrakis.
-Just use common sence.

(Oh, and A.I things have removed, because of some long period of time ago.) |
|
|
(What!? D: Anyways,start nao?) |
|
|
(YES. START.)
I looked at the endless sands of Dune. Or, Arrakis. I saw a harvester-crawler factory glint in the sun. No 'thopers were spotted in the sky, and I thought I saw a wormsign.
(And Turjik is 34.) |
|
|
|
Van awoke from his cyro slumber. He got up from the pod and got ready to go to the planet surface.As he made his way down to the loading bay he checked his armour for any weaknesses.He entered the loading bay and went to his weaponized crawler while it was in storage mode.He stapped himself in and got ready to be ejected from the ship. |
|
|
I examined the horizian... There was a 'thoper, but it only took the spice and not the offworlders. Damn Harkonnens. |
|
|
|
(A large, helicopter-like thingy, but its more futuristic and has enough strength to carry a harvester-crawler and it's workers.) |
|
|
Nnngh.....Lost in desert again?What the heck....?How long have I fainted...? |
|
|
(OK)
As Van prepared himself for the 5 G's and hard impact he was about to experience, the ship ejected the crawler with him inside. |
|
|
A group of Fremen saw Chrona, and went to get her. |
|
|
As he was falling Van passed out.
Half an hour later
CRASH!!!
The crawler landed on Arrakis. The computer helped Van regain conciousness slowly. |
|
|
The computer sent out signals that attracted the worms. Van should get to rocks, or else he might become 'one with the desert'. |
|
|
I felt like some people are picking me up.... |
|
|
Van regained consciousness. He initiated the crawler start program and the crawler opened up into the four-legged destroyer mode.After the transformation was complete Van started moving out to the Red Sky crawler-harvesters. |
|
|
A lil' worm(if ever available...Duh) is creeping on my left hand.So tickling.... |
|
|
The Fremen carried Chrona back to the network of caves they lived in.
(Crawlers arnt mobile weapons. >_>) |
|
|
"...." I opened my eyes.The hood was down,showing my pigtailed white hair,blue eyes and light skin.I see the little worm crawiling at my left hand,like it's feeling like ":3" at me. |
|
|
(Er...I mean white pigtails.Dang it....) |
