<RP INTRODUCTION/SHORT EXPLANATION_>
Welcome to Red Star Rising, a Sci-Fi survival RP with resource management. This RP is intended to be different in the fact that I will have complete control over whatever you find, with a few resources being exceptions. For example; you can always find ice on the moon, so long as it recently transitioned from night to day(As ice will accumulate during the night and decay slowly throughout the day). And though you may find ice anywhere, only the GMs can say if there is a cave system, structure, vehicle, or wreckage nearby, and only I can say how much of what resources you will find there. I promise I will be generous with this system, so long as no one abuses anything(namely the Co-GM(s)).

This takes place after a Human Frigate crash lands on an uncharted moon. Resource management is essential to your survival - you must watch your oxygen, radiation, and Warmpth levels, gathering metals and minerals to build new equipment and tools. But you'll soon discover that you aren't alone...you'll have to build new weapons and armor, using everything at your disposal to your advantage.

Your mission is to regroup, survive, and repair a shuttle to working condition so that you might escape the desolate moon.

Also - please make note that any and all of the information displayed here is subject to change, as rules and procedures may be added or modified.

-

<GENERAL RULES_>
1. No godmodding, metagaming, or otherwise "spawning" your own resources or controlling someone else's character without consent. This rule applies to Co-GMs too, but I can - and I will - break this rule only in the case that I am
2. You will respect everyone in this RP, I will not allow the exchange of harsh words. If someone offends you, speak up; whether in the OOC or in a PM. The amount of chances you get to violate this rule will be based on the gravity of the offense.
3. If you do not post IC for more than 2 days without prior notification, your character will be killed. However if you have recently posted in the OOC then that time limit will be extended to a maximum of 4 days unless you are holding the RP, or any one person, back.
4. Your IC posts should be no shorter than four sentences, and I do not expect more than three paragraphs per post due to the nature of this RP.
5. When you post IC, please wait for 3 other people to post before posting again. If 12 hours pass without anyone posting, the posting delay is lowered to 2 posts instead of 3. If a whole day goes by without anyone posting then the posting delay is removed. Just don't double-post, cause that would be pointless.

<ROLEPLAY IC RULES AND PROCEDURES_>
1. My role in the IC concerns much more than just playing my character and being the GM. I am in control of all natural resources(Including "spawning" NPCs, but as long as they aren't too significant anyone can control them), so I will decide what you will find and in what quantity. I will also include "System Messages" in my IC posts, which will tell you what is nearby and warn you of any dangers that threaten your survival. Next, all GMs are in control of what kind of special or significant scenery and environments, if any, can be found nearby(such as caves, buildings, vehicles, wreckage, or canyons, craters, mountains, etc.).
2. Please abide by the stats of your character during combat, after all you got to choose the stats. Failure to comply will result in a warning, while continued disregard for this rule will be categorized as godmodding and/or metagaming.
3. Time will pass continuously in this RP, varying in speed dependent upon the speed of posting. If no more than 10 IC posts(will be voted on) are made in no less than 6 hours IRL, then the 10th post will signal the passing of 1 hour in the IC. If no less than 10 IC posts are made in no more than 6 hours, then the passing of the hour(in the IC) will be after the 20th post.
4. Oxygen will decay at 1 unit per hour IC, and is relatively easy to replenish as all you need is ice and any kind of Forge. You will be alerted when your oxygen levels are low enough to cause certain Conditions, but you cannot replenish oxygen when in combat.
5. Radiation will make traversing the surface during daytime more dangerous, and if you're caught outside during dangerous daylight hours then your character will receive varying stacks per post with radiation. If the star has just risen, you will get less stacks than if your character were to get if they were outside at midday. The more marks you have, the more you stage up through the levels of Radiation Poisoning.
6. Energy functions as the equivalent to Oxygen for a robot character, only it lasts much longer. In addition to a more expensive resource cost to refill/recharge, there are less warnings and Conditions that can occur from low Energy than there are for low Oxygen, with the results being much more lethal. This was originally going to be a survival mechanic also used in certain tools and equipment, but was removed due to overcomplicating the RP.

I've never actually taken part in a survival RP so could you explain how it would work. It doesn't have to be a lenghty explanation I'll probably figure it out once it starts I'd just like an idea on what the posts would be like.

Well, honestly I've never been in one. Or, at least, never one quite like this.

First of all, your character WILL have stats that affect them in survival and in combat. These would be things like Health, Agility, and Stamina. No dice needed.

You can have as much freedom in your posts as your situation will allow. Oxygen is based upon an "hourly" consumption. So let's say that, for example, every 5 posts is one "hour"; you would lose...say...1 out of 12 hours of your oxygen. Supply getting too low? Go harvest some ice and use the yet-to-be-named device to separate and filter the Oxygen. It's more simple than it sounds, trust me.

Radiation would also work on an "hourly" scale, but also prints "marks" to your character. Let's say you're caught outside when the local star rises over the horizon; you've been marked. Then say you moved into a cave and went deeper underground; you still have one mark. Now, let's say you've decided to come back up to the surface at mid-day, and you step out in the light; you instantly receive two marks of radiation. You're now at three marks...and let's say that at three marks, you now have Moderate Radiation Poisoning - your character's skin will burn, and they'll also have a statistical debuff that I forgot.

And hunger...ehhh...debating.

@TheDarkTemplar, @my Lalia

Both of you posted with interest, so both of you are being notified that a rather hefty update to the OP has taken place.

Check it out, skim through it, whatever you choose. I updated to save this information in two places, and to give everyone a better idea of what this RP is and will be.
