Project: Star Trek: Advent

Creator: Captain Charles Daystar (icarusunholy)

Type: Longform collaborative RP universe with custom builds, custom scripts, and a fully original cinematic timeline

Pitch Summary

Star Trek Advent is a live episodic roleplay series set in the TWOK era that revolves around one idea: the universe grows through the people who play in it. Advent doesn’t recycle canon endlessly. It builds forward. Every player, every guest, every allied RP group helps shape the lore, and those contributions actually matter in future episodes.

This is a cinematic SL series where the world evolves because the community builds it together.

What the Project Is

A continuous story following the USS Advent in 2286

Weekly live roleplay sessions with branching arcs shaped by player decisions

High detail custom meshes: starships, sickbays, engineering decks, alien worlds, props, HUDs, creatures, and cultural sets

A blend of cinematic visuals, deep storytelling, and character-driven drama

A world open to alliances, crossovers, and guest arcs that become permanent parts of the lore

Why It’s Interesting

Most Trek RP in SL leans on nostalgia or repeats scenes from old shows.

Advent builds its own canon from scratch.

Players directly influence the timeline.

A one-session guest appearance can become a season arc.

A small idea offered in casual RP can become a major cultural pillar of an entire alien world.

Advent is collaborative storytelling done at scale, with real consequences and evolving themes.

What Makes It Unique

Lore shaped by everyone who participates, not just the core crew

No endless callbacks or rehashes. Advent seeks to create it's own identity.

Original alien cultures fully realized, custom mesh uniforms, scripts, and beautiful environments

A rare Wrath of Khan era setting brought to life with modern SL visuals

Original soundtrack that goes along with scenes

Custom systems: medical PADDs, tricorders, sHUDs, damage systems, other props of the time period

A cinematic approach to scenes, sets, and missions that looks like a show being filmed live

Why SL Residents Would Want to Watch

Because Advent proves what SL can still do when creativity, storytelling, and community come together.

Viewers get:

A full starship to explore

Bespoke alien worlds

Character arcs that evolve based on real RP outcomes

Culturally rich storylines that go deeper than basic Trek references

A universe that grows because people shape it, not because someone rewrites old episodes

Anyone can join.

Anyone can become part of Advent’s history.

Call to Action

We’d love to bring Captain Daystar and some of the Advent crew on Lab Gab to talk about how Advent builds collaborative canon inside Second Life, how player ideas transform into major arcs, and how custom mesh and scripting turn RP into a living cinematic universe.

If you want a feature that highlights creativity, community-driven storytelling, and worldbuilding at a high level, Advent is the perfect showcase.
