Looking for someone interesting in playing a Cypher System bases science fiction game. I can post at least 5 days per week, usually multiple times each day, but I only ask for someone who can post 3+ days per week.

The year is 2155. Mankind has mastered the art of space travel and have since set up colonies on planets, moons, and even asteroids far from their home on Earth. Mankind quickly learned two things. The first was that we were not alone in the galaxy. Various alien flora and fauna were found on the multitude of locations settled by humanity. Mostly unintelligent, some species have shown signs of higher levels of understanding. The second, and more disturbing, discovery was that we were not the first to travel the stars. Ruins and ancient artifacts have been uncovered throughout the galaxy, some of which were found as close as on Mars. Due to variations in design and dating, it is believed that at least three different civilizations have made their way through the galaxy over the last 5,000 years, the most recent of which moving through as little as 200 years ago.

Space is controlled by four major factions.
The Protectorate: a democratic government similar to the United States of the 20th Century. The Protectorate uses their superior armed forces to protect their large civilization.
Ivoran Empire: ran with an iron first by the Red Emperor. The Ivoran Empire has a strong Fleet of ships that enforces their will.
Terrans: The Terrans have the smallest civilization in the galaxy. Terrans control only the solar system, but their strong fleet and impressive surface-to-space defenses leave them safely within their system. Their strong defense means not even pirates bother opening raiding Terran Settlements. Terran space is often used as a neutral zone for Protectorate and Ivoran negotiations.
Pirates: Space Pirates have been around as long as space travel. Most Pirates are generalized as "Space Pirates" by media and common citizens. This is inaccurate, however, as there are three distinct and warring factions amongst the pirates. The Furries are a mostly nomad ground that travel space in heavily armored transport frigates, landing on planets and raiding settlements, taking what they need. The Crows hold several planets in the outskirts of the galaxy. The Crows have a powerful fleet they use to slowly expand their modest territory. The Revenants are the largest of the pirate factions. Unlock the other pirate factions, the Revenants are organized and efficient. Where previously they were highly active, in recent years there's been little Revenant activity and no expansion on their part.


So, where do you fit in? There are three potential rolls your character will fill depending on interests and play style.

1) Spec Ops: In this role your character takes the part of a Special Operations unit for one of the major factions. This is a relatively structured role where your handler will assign you missions on specific planets. You will be mostly free on how to accomplish your mission.

2) Criminal: This role would be a bit more free than the Spec Ops agent. You would be operating within a particular system but where you went and what you did would be up to you, including eventually leaving the system.

3) Treasure Hunter: This would be the most Sandboxy of the roles. You would operate on the fringes of the galactic civilization, primarily on low population or 0 population worlds, seeking out ancients ruins, artifacts, and undiscovered treasures. The "treasure" you hunt would be up to you, either powerful artifacts, gold and valuable, or perhaps ancient secrets and knowledges.

No need to have played the Cypher System in any form previously, just access to the Cypher System book. So, anyone interested?

I'll have to dig out my book (from a recent move) but it sounds interesting.
