Science fiction 1x1 role play / alien vs. human Far future in established mythos. NOT Alien the movies. I can play male or female. You can play male, female, hermaphrodite, genderless or ??? There may or may not be romance. No graphic sex, no splatter gore. I’ve got a fun list of mythos swear words. There will be a fairly high chance of at least one time violence, but this is not intended to be dark. 748+ different species less than half are bisymmetrical bipeds (human like); many different trilegs from D&D Xorn to Monster’s Inc. green sphere, and more; Dune sand worms; jellyfish in floating fishbowls; mechanically augmented fish; hive mind hamsters; squid that walk on their tentacles, insects of all sorts; etc. etc. etc. Pick or design a species and make it your own. Consider how they speak, what are their cultural and biological priorities, how do they open jars and stay clean, are they xenophobic or curious or something else, etc. These sorts of useful details shift it from a human in a rubber suit to something unique. I’m going to play one of the new scourges of the galaxy -- an uncivilized earthborn. Rude, crude, greedy (sell their own mother), arrogant, often violent (if you don’t understand it or can’t own it... beat it up), beyond xenophobic and into terrified of other species (but never admit it), technologically in the dark ages (around 10,000 years). Our species gets a huge slam but it comes out of extreme environmental catastrophe. Earthborn cannot go home. The earth no longer sustains life. But they do have some very strong positive traits which will come out in play. Your character will know about the earthborn reputation I gave above, whether they believe it or not is up to you. POSSIBLE SCENARIOS (not earth sol) - Stranded on a tiny island resort that is now in ruins. - Planet to spaceport shuttle hits space junk -- how bad is their situation? will they survive? - Characters loose their company’s lotteries and must make nice for Harmony Exchange Day complete with exhibitions, parades, parties, and formal events. - “Alien” is enjoying brief vacation at remote cabin when fugitive earthborn pays an unwelcome visit. - Earthborn is bet that he can’t pick-up an “alien”, this disaster leaves one or both strangely attracted. - Earthborn arrives at a medical clinic nearly in pieces, “alien” is required to see to their care, does the very bad start improve and in what ways? - Red Guard boot camp with heavy Diversity training -- the earthborn is drowning and assigned an escort (thug) who will attempt to Diversify the resistant recruit. There are zillions of possible plots and complications. Pick something or suggest something. The intra-species tension/conflict is not just cultural but also psychological and biological. I love to explore these themes. If absolutely preferred we can switch and you play the earthborn. Intense dialog exchanges mean a few lines to short paragraph in rapid back-and-forth. I’ve found that these can be scheduled by setting a time. Otherwise longer posts with situational actions and details, exploration, etc., and character thoughts. If things start to lag or get boring I totally want to renegotiate or reboot. Getting the right mix of characters can take some iteration. Non-human, non-Star Trek aliens are, well, different and challenging. Please ask questions! And make suggestions!

I have two sci-fi plots I'm trying to develop in case you're interested.

Thank you for the tip! My Mac crashed BIG time and is only now back among the living. Thank you everyone for looking. I still want to do some alien/human role playing. Not your usual but hey the risk of something new has its charm!

I just made another sci-fi idea. This is when you let me know if you are interested or not. That would entail clicking on the link in my signature (the first one), and giving the Star Story plots a look at.

It's been a long while since I had the chance to play some truly non-human beings so I may be rusty, but I'd like to give it a go. Scenarios 1, 2, and 4 seem most appealing to me.
