General Concept:
-Year is 2170
-Cybernetics and robotic have become common and mundane; seeing a Cyborg or even a Robot with Artificial Intelligence is just another Tuesday.
-Having plateaued with technological advances that began to put their focus on Space and what is out there. Building a super satellite that relays a recurring message out into space in all directions as the earth spins.
-Five years later and the Earth received a response, though not the one they were hoping to get. A gigantic spaceship entered our atmosphere in southern Manitoba, Canada just a few hundred miles from the US border.
-As we tried to make contact with the spacecraft a large 'pod' dislodged from the mothership and fell to the Earth with a great crash. Looking on curiously a large port opened on its side and from that pod came an out pour of creatures of varied size and shape though all grim and grotesque.
-With the release of the beasts the pod lit up and gave out a strange pulse which was soon to be discovered that it was a type of barrier that once it reached its full radius it began to crystallize the air until it formed a several hundred yard barrier that seemed to withstand any blow the world threw at it. The barrier also cut off any communication between the inside and the outside world.
-The People stuck inside the barrier (That survived the waves of creatures) took refuge within hidden caves and underground bunkers. The people began to scavenge technology and anything they could get their hands on and the engineers and scientists that remained worked together to build special weapons and armor to combat these creatures unleashed to eradicate the populace while the main ship began to drill into the Earth to harvest rare materials near the core that once taken the Earth would stop its rotation and kill the Earth.
-The weapons that had to be made were mainly made of condensed energy, the creatures having such thick hides that normal guns and blades couldn't puncture. (That's right, Motherfucking Lightsabers and Energy Guns)
-Upon killing one of the creatures they began an autopsy that brought to light a glimpse of hope. On the creatures brain was a small chip that upon further research on the corpse was a 'Kill switch' that enabled the Aliens to terminate any creature they wished as an insurance policy that their own plan wouldn't back fire on them while also making sure the beasts wouldn't hinder their excavation work.
-The groups began to theorize that the Ark (The pod was affectionately named the Ark for its resemblance to Noah's Ark) had a control board within it that controlled the barriers stability but also the main kill switch for the beasts.
Basically:
The RP with revolve around a rag tag group of survivors within this giant crystalline barrier becoming armed with a mission to sneak into the Ark and initiate the Kill Command on the beasts and disable the barrier so that the outside world can swoop in and destroy the ship before it Harvests what they want and kills Earth. The RP will start a coupe years after the first arrival of the Spaceship so keep that in mind for bio's. Weaponry will be based on Energy weapons like lightsabers and energy guns. Technology will be advanced so feel free to drop ideas my way, this is scifi so think out of the box but not the next area code out of the box.
Rules:
1. Don't be a dick. Simple as that. Treat everybody like a buddy and if there is a problem, be mature and take it to PM. No one needs to hear your drama.
2. Proper grammar and punctuation are nice to have though I understand sometimes English isn't everyone's first language and mistakes are possible. Just do your best and if it starts to look like a teen girls facebook page, we will have a talk and try to fix the issue.
3. Be active. If you join into this RP please try to check in as often as possible and I expect people to not be inactive for longer than three days as to not hold up progression. Though I do realize life has unexpected twists and turns so if something arises please say something in group so we are aware of what's going on.
4. Basic RP rules; No Godmod, power play, etc. You know. Be a responsible Roleplayer.
5. This is a high-casual RP so please be able to put real content into your posts; I mean content, not length. I want your posts to take my breath away, not make my eyes sore. Quality over quantity my friends. Furthermore; if you are getting into a conversation and you have the inclination that the posts will be short, ask that person to hop into a collab post to save ourselves from speed posting on the forum.
6. Now this is the most important rule. Seriously, if you do not follow rule number six we are going to have a problem. So much of a problem I might have to come to your town, stalk you until paranoia sets in, sneak into your house while your out, kill your pet rock and smear its dust over your bed.... Yes, that serious! Now, the rule is..... Have fun.
Disclaimer:
This RP will be mature. By that I mean there will be blood, guts, gore, horrible disasters, a fuckton of cussing, lose of hopes and dreams, grotesque creatures, DMV's, and terrifying scenarios. Just be warned that these things will occur and you are okay with this.
What I ask of you, The RPer:
Firstly, I am new to GMing so if there are any experienced people with moderating a RP and are willing to help out please step up. I have no problem admitting I lack experience and I wish to fill that gap with someone who has experience. I also want you all to be active with plot progression, please feel free to shoot out ideas. There are no dumb ideas, unless its a dumb idea.

Seems interesting, although it may help to have an OOC/IC for the advanced as I had to seek out the casual thread. Oh hey, there is a link right above the picture.
Feel free to follow the link to the OOC if you wish to apply.
So... It is a casual RP? Then why is the Int.Check posted here? I was under the impression that since the Int.Check was in the Advanced section, that you were going to have an Advanced thread for it as well.
