Virtual Roleplay

Roleplaying in a Virtual World like 3rd Rock Grid gives the participant the ability to experience scenes and settings more fully. An avatar can be created with skin, shape, hair, eyes, and clothing that fit the character. That avatar can literally walk and run through a virtual landscape created to support imagination and storytelling.

At Astraios, an avatar can train at Starfleet Academy, wearing the uniform of a cadet, participate in missions on a starship bridge, and create relationships with the officers and crew around them, both "IC" (in character) or "OOC" (out of character).

Or, a 'civilian' and/or 'alien species' character may be created for roleplay purposes. The history of the UFS outpost and its ships & stations, along with the roleplayer's character background, provides a foundation for interesting and compelling RP.

At this time we are seeking Trek fans who would like to become Starfleet officers in the various branches that serve aboard ships & stations. We would also welcome roleplayers who would like to play non-Starfleet characters in our 'world', characters such as Vulcans, Dosi, emancipated Borg, Klingon, and species of the Gamma Quadrant.

We have, of this writing, several full sized sims/regions joined together on 3rd Rock Grid to create our Colony, the planet of Astaios prime, as well as settlements, villages and other areas where roleplay can take place. In addition we have 3 locations on Metropolis grid that are used as planets in the Astraios Sector, for away missions as well as immersive roleplay.

We invite you to come and take a look, attend an event, observe a roleplay, or join right in!
