The Mistress' Favor (Maid RPG ; Original SciFi Setting)

Meridian · Jun 19, 2019

Dominique von Weber, more appropriately known as Mistress Weber is known as an upstart.
However, she is also known to grant wishes.
What it takes to obtain her favor and your desires granted is supposedly unknown...
But rumor has it that she's always hiring
And eager to assist those of the world who seek their fortune through serving others.

It feels almost hard to remember....
What is the world like around you? No matter the circumstances it won't change much about yourself or your near-future employer, but perspective matters.

[A/N: Welcome and salutations! This is a somewhat light, somewhat mature quest that will be essentially a campaign or two of Maid RPG. I've had the idea of running it for a while, but not in this fashion. Given that I'm starting out things will probably change. I may do a banner here and there, art or sprites of the characters for reference, etc. I may not.
This is going to be a modified version of the game book. Some parts will be omitted/banned, others made free-range. A lot of this is just for my comfort as a writer and person, and others are more part of my ethics/politics.
As this is my first quest let me know if there's anything I can do better whether for readers, or small stuff like tagging/prefixes.]

[Due to second place being fairly close I will keep it in mind for setting lore or a scenario.
Furthermore this is going to be the last update before I set up the character creation section. Minor details will be compiled or rolled for by myself after this.]

Almost instantly you remember that you're in a world where lives are lived among the stars and the space inbetween them. The galaxy is explored with new peoples discovered, worlds founded, and advancements made. You're but one of many of those people and like them you make your way through life in pursuit of your leisure, personal goals, and the very way you interact with the reality you perceive being furthered.
And sometimes that means the roles of the world, like a 'Maid'.

Mistress Weber's dwelling and center of operations is located on neither homeworld, more cruiser, nor a station, but on the alien shores of a colony.
You've done enough basic research before choosing to fill out the application, and have found that the world is not only habitable but hosts a number of settlements. Past that you could tell anyone who asks that it's called a...

And that the address for her mansion is in...

However, this settlement is in one of the many tropical island chains that enjoy supernaturally good weather.

Past what you already know you easily find through some quick searches that the world, named 'Ambrojia 2', is commonly referred to as a 'tropics world' due to the majority of the planet experiencing warmer temperatures and a single seasonal state in addition to landmasses trending towards smaller ones. Satellite maps tell you that her estate is located on the outskirts of a colonial settlement established by a long extinct species. You're just familiar enough with the history of prior galactic eras to know they were done in by an artificially engineered super virus they'd created to ensure only the fittest survived and leave their species entirely resistant if not immune to disease.
That worked out just fine for them, didn't it?

Nagging concerns lead to a gal-wide-web search about the virus and if this is an occupational hazard, but find the virus required a living host and that the highest danger of being near that city is hiking through it the same way a nature hike would be, or the local fauna.

Your fears assauged you get work on the application form...

Using the manual will probably help but it is not necessary. You can purchase it here, and if you can't don't worry there's other avenues out there. Please support the official release when you are able to.

Code:

[spoiler=(Name)]
Name:
Age:
Gender / Pronouns:
Species:
*Attributes (p13):
*Maid Types (p13):
Special Qualities (p14): (pick two)
*Roots (p20):
Stress Explosion (p20):
Weapons (p21):
*Power (22):
Clothes ; Eye ; Hair:
Appearance:
Personality:
Other Notes:
[/spoiler]

Please assign attribute values using either of these three setups.

Code:

4 3 3 2 2 1
4 4 3 2 1 1
3 3 3 2 2 2

Alright let's start this off.

Treat most everything as free answer, only * need to be based on the manual
Clothes should be out of uniform or formal
Picking any species outside human will be a free usage of the 'alien' trait, put a spoiler at the enddetailing them in as much detail as you want
Let me know if you're fine with them being used later in the quest or for ones in the same setting
Please don't submit characters that are copied from a comic or such, or direct references. Having Bec Noir as a maid in space might be more crack than this is intended to be.

Characters beneath the age of 21
'Actually a guy', addictions, or being a slave in some form.
The 'Accents, Tragic, and Trauma' sections
Don't make characters related.

And it's character creation time. Sorry for the size of the application and the rules, but hopefully it's not a pain.
This will be open until wednesday or friday, depending on how many characters I receive.
Three, or maybe four maids will be picked, based on how they'd play off each other.

After the next update things will be a slightly 'anything goes' setup for a bit. I'm thinking of running this with a council for each maid, via a discord server, but I'm still not sure if that's too complex, or if it'd actually be good for the quest.

Also: Good News Everyone, a 'beach episode' has been guaranteed!
