Five hundred years ago, contact with Earth was lost. Investigations were launched far and wide by the Sovereign Colonies to find out what ha happened to their homeworld, but every such team never returned. In an emergency council meeting it was decided that the Colonies would leave Earth behind, forgetting about the event to avoid any further catastrophes in the name of finding answers.
Today, each of many select colonies have volunteered to send their single best individual to form a team. This team would be assigned the job of finding out what happened to Earth after all these years and to determine if it was safe to return. It is a dangerous mission, and all of the higher ups are aware of the fact that the smart ones would decline the opportunity- which is why they are not being given a choice. Like it or not, you are the only hope of reviving Earth, or leaving it permanently behind to collect dust in the history textbooks of the colonies.
Welcome to Return to Earth, a Sci-Fi survival RP designed to incorporate crossover ideas- to an extent. The basis is simple- you crashland on Earth and emerge from your totalled ship to find that many horrors have taken over the planet. Cliché zombies and similar creatures to massive barbaric extraterrestrials with apparet explanation as to how they got there. Not only are the possibilities for characters endless, but so are the possibilities for your next opponent.
Survive for as long as you can on the now-hostile birth planet to the only known race of intelligent beings, and attempt to either find a way off the planet, or put an end to the threat yourself once and for all.
RULES:
• Create a reasonable character. I'd prefer it if you created OC's, but if you want in alternate-universe version of your favorite TV show hero then make it as original as you can.
•Understand that the concept of multiverse theory does not come into play here. As such, we can't have any Doctors from Doctor Who meets Master Chief from Halo. BUT, the idea here is that you create an OC AND an original colony. The Sovereign Colonies are drastically different in cultural, technological, and ideological aspects, and as such you can have a character that is basically a SPARTAN II, or an antibioterrorist operative like Chris Redfield. But understand that it is highly improbable that your character is ACTUALLY a SPARTAN II or Chris Redfield. If you do, provide a solid reason.
•Regularly contribute. If it is not possible, let everyone know. I know it's difficult sometimes, but roleplays tend to die because one person can't post, then another, then another.
•Don't make a character who is a kick-butt lone wolf that everyone is scared of. Frankly, it's very cliché, hard to work with, and typically annoying.
•Have fun. Speak up if you are not. We don't want people losing interest.
•Keep it mostly sci-fi. I want to keep the fantasy stuff to a minimum, but I find that it is best to mix the two to a certain extent.
•Let's use this bullet as the one that says all of the generic rules against godmodding, arguing/fighting, mature content, etc. Just don't do it. If it's necessary, fade it to black or take it to PMs.
Feel free to ask questions!
