Scifi-Fantasy Terraforming Interest Check

Repel The Void
The holo shimmers to life, projecting the newscaster mid-speech.

"-uly momentous occasion. This team, made up of a dozen of this planet's best and brightest, will be launching from this site tomorrow. I am told they will be using the portal array behind me to traverse most of the distance through the atmosphere and then be using physical propulsion to exit the manasphere and for the rest of their voyage to our red neighbor.
They will spend almost two months in space before landing on Mars, and I am told they will be without their Talent for the entirety of the voyage, and even as they begin the terraforming process. In fact we have no certain proof that any manasphere will ever form on Mars.
Despite this experts are confident in this team's ability to start the terraforming process from the highly advanced M.U.T.H. . The Martian United Terraforming Habitat, for those that haven't been following news for the past year, is a unified effort between the seven cities to-"

You switch to another channel, also covering your departure tomorrow, as the whole planet seems to be.
Of course they are, this is the single largest and most unified effort this planet has ever seen, and you, and the rest of your team, are carrying the weight of everyone's hopes.

This game will be using the Palimpsest TTRPG system (you can find a copy of the quick-start guide, and a choose your own adventure to teach you the system). A copy of the current rules will be made available when you join the game.

Characters: You will be playing professional terraforms, the first long-residence terraformers ever. I will walk everyone through character creation, where you all can choose your roles and backgrounds custom to this adventure. I will guide you all to covering the necessary roles, but I wont force anything.

Experience Required: None! I know no-one had played this system as it is still beta, and love playing with newbies and veterans alike.
Post Frequency: 5-7/week

The campaign premise looks curious, but I'm not yet sure what to make of the system and setting. I took a look at the quick-start guide, but did not see an elaboration on the kinds of folks inhabiting the world, nor on the world itself, so started checking the Palimpsest RPG official page, only to encounter what seems to be a Microscope-like game - very different from how you're presenting it.

Palimpsest is set in a far-future Earth, after the reality next to ours leaked in to ours when the people of that reality abandoned it. Of course our world was not equipped for this sort of mass, global chaos and society collapsed as power structures were pushed and upturned.
Of course that is ancient history. Society is rebuilt and strong. We live in megacities of the future, miles high and spanning larger than any today. Protected by megastructure walls to keep the ravages of the Wilds out. Which are still a danger even with our magic and technology, or more accurately because of our technology. As the Wilds react to the use of technology as a body to an irritant or infection.
These cities are highly striated, having several literal layers, which people belong top theoretically based on their contributions to society. Of course it is more complicated than all that: inherited wealth and disagreements between guilds and one city is run by a dragon. there are those that enforce the law, enforcers, but also those that protect those in the city: Vigils. Having their roots in vigilantism they are now city sanctioned and stand vigil over their homes, a necessary role in this more dangerous society.

It's a nice mix of fantasy magic and scifi with a variety of potential characters and stories.

The thing I like most is that the player characters get Mantles, which, other than the choices made at character creation, are granted based on what they embody, and are more specially crafted to each character. Something that doesn't exist for number crunching (as much as I love crunching some numbers) but brings a characters actions to life. Their sheet reflecting their choices as opposed to the character reflecting their sheet.

I wanted to show off some of the incredible art this game has to give a visual feel for the world.
