U.N.I.T
“Any Threat. Any location. Protecting humanity no matter how far it takes us.”
I thought maybe we could have a RP based on the first (and best!) of the secret groups that protect Earth from hostile alien threats – the United Nations Intelligence Taskforce (or UNified Intelligence Taskforce, if you insist). I haven’t really got an idea for a plot at present, but I’m assuming most characters would be soldiers or personnel that would at least have enough training to head into potentially dangerous situations.
There’s more to UNIT than just soldiers, though – we’d need scientists, medics, computer nerds, press spokesmen and at least one person tying it all together, whether that be Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart or his daughter Kate Stewart (although I must confess I’d love to get back to the days of UNIT hiding the existence of aliens rather than the “aliens do exist” attitude of the new Who).
A few more points:
I’m not adverse to the odd alien or two being in UNIT, but the vast majority should be human, and the aliens will probably be regarded with deep suspicion/borderline racism and have to prove themselves to their human colleagues, particularly if they’re clearly non-human in appearance. That said, I’m not going to permit any Gallifrayians/Time Lords (certainly not the Doctor or the Master – I don’t care whether or not they have a TARDIS; the answer is no) and I’d also be reluctant to have any extremely powerful alien PCs (particularly daleks/cybermen); I’m happy for people to suggest their own alien ideas – just nothing uber-powerful, and if you do, please wait for approval.
I’d rather not have any crossover with Torchwood; and yes, your character can have basic physic abilities/ training if you want, so long as it’s minor stuff (mental shielding, telepathy, empathy, that sort of thing).
I’d prefer original characters to characters from Who, but I’m not going to stop anyone playing a character from the original series if they really want.
If someone wants to apply for the position of the leader of UNIT, go ahead, although I’d rather they were kept pretty much ‘off-screen’ and we concentrate on the adventures our characters are involved in.
Would anyone be interested?
