ALIEN VS PREDATOR: LV-629

LV-629
Located thirty-nine lightyears from Earth, LV-629 appears to be a home away from home. With a gravity of .96 and a terran biome, this planet has all the makings of a second Earth. Colonized successfully by Weyland-Yutani sixteen months ago, the planetary engineers have only just dipped their toes into the proverbial waters. The world teems with life and while most of it is non-hostile, the United States Colonial Marine Corps has still stationed a platoon detachment from the USS Calloway planetside to protect the colonists. LV-629 is not all that it appears however. While marked as a non-inhabited world, the Hunters have used LV-629 as a planet of justice and punishment, sending dishonored hunters and Bad Bloods there attempting to reclaim glory in the last years of their life.

The world holds many secrets, initial planetary scans by Weyland-Yutani indicate a vast array of subterranean tunnels lined with precious medals, an assortment of varied exoplanetary life and the remnants of an ancient city that seem to predate even humanity. What secrets will be uncovered? What secrets will remain as such?

The Hunters: Referred to as the Yautja by human observers, these ancient warriors have often used the planet as a place to dispose of Bad Bloods and dishonored hunters. Things have slightly changed with the inclusion of the warm bloods presence on the planet, and several hunters have been sent in to clean things up before chaos ensues. The Hunters are composed of a handful of Unblooded, several Blooded Hunters and an untold number of Dishonored and Bad Bloods.

Name: Icarai "Doc" Stone

Physical Description: Icarai Stone, better known as "Doc", is a tall, slender man. His hair is jet black, combed and parted neatly to the right--and the sides are buzzed. He has piercing blue eyes, which exude intelligence. The face of the man is clean-shaven and a pine-scented cologne is usually lingering about him.

Brief Military History: Doc is a graduate of the University of Michigan, majoring in Medical Science and a minor in Botany; he is a strong supporter of municipal medicine. Also, Doc is a black belt in Shotokan karate, and practices Tai Chi for mediative purposes. Additionally, Doc is trained as a "MAU" or to your pukeheads "Marine Assault Unit" where he serves as a Medic. His aspirations are blunt: he wishes to elevate in rank, patch up a few grunts, and explore this strange new world. Just a gut check, just a gut check.

Name Durk "Dragon" Stone

Physical Description Durk is a mountain of a man standing at 6'5 broad shouldered and broad chested. He has a terrible attitude and will not take shit from anyone and has the know how to back his attitude up. His body is mostly covered in scars, he is some what tanned with dark green eyes. His air is stubble that's brown and he has partial beard that pitch black his bottom lip is usually seen packed with chew. On rare occasions he pulls out an ebony black pipe from a pouch.

Brief Military History: Durk has been in some sort of military since a young age, ranging from boot camp to ROTC. He joined the army first but he disliked it but got demolition training and learned how to use napalm. That's when he earned the nickname "Dragon" from excessive usage of napalm and high explosives. After his service time was up he went and joined the USCMC hoping to find more action. He joined up with his cousin Icarai.

Updated the roster. The NPC listed under your character is whom you will have "control" over. It's not control in the traditional sense but rather your character can order him to do things and that will be reflected in the moderation posts.

I'll choose the medikit.

You will be able to acquire new gear as you earn experience planetside. Excellent choice.

Yea, I was thinking of the combi-stick, but if I got injured without a medikit. Might be a short RP. And figured being a bad blood I could loot some other hunters.

Definitely. Oh, you'll also have Fibercord, which you can use to string your prey up and set traps. I'll add it.

could i have a marksman rifle instead of a pulse rifle?

Negative. The USCMC Platoon does not currently field any marksman due to the jungle biome in which LV-629 is principally located.

and we are in the jungle predator automatically just got the advantage.

Well according to the story here bad bloods are exiled to this planet. So my hunting skills would probably be for the natural creatures on this planet. Not humans.

so im guessing the stones are brothers

id like to carry this instead of the pulse rifle.

W-Y NSG 23 Assault Rifle

I'd wager that the GM's word is final and arguing is pointless.

wasn't arguing just don't want to be running the same kit as the other guy, and a pulse rifle isn't really a good gun in my opinion it lacks stopping power.

How I feel when the gm doesn't post.
