"I know why *I'm* doin' this. Do you?"
The events of Dead Space 1-3 have been over for around 20 years now, Issac has settled down with Ellie and had a child. Though they have a family the horror is not over for them. The three of them were on their way to the vessel known as Vulse which is a research facility [Doughnut shaped ship] which needs many engineers. Issac being an engineer and his daughter also being an engineer thought it would be a good place to go. The vessel was known for great research though stories of a sinister side did pop up time to time. Much of the research has helped mankind but what sort of price had to be paid to get such results? The short time on Vulse was fairly normal, father and daughter bonded more as they did their job as a team, and Ellie had a job elsewhere.
It had only been about three weeks before things went wrong. At first, the people who ran the vessel stated it was an internal system problem the vessel was having. Later on, some people went missing which a statement was issued saying some people's jobs were terminated and were no longer on the station. Following that sound noises and activities started to happen all over the place, engineers needed to be on the job nearly 24 hours a day. Something was causing damage to the ship, following that engineers started to go missing or were found dead in the most horrible of ways. The higher ups climbed those who went missing died on the job due to the non-stop work they had to put in to maintain the ship.
Issac was not falling for whatever was being said, things did not add up and so while his daughter covered for her he went off to see what he could dig up. Ellie helped him as she worked in that area since coming to the Vulse. The Vulse is located in a different system which has hardly any life in it. However, some places had human life on it who tried to start civilisations or vessels which stopped for whatever reasons they had. As the Issac and Ellie dig for info the vessel/research facility begins to fall, unknown creatures begin to escape and cause major damage to the ship and cause the number of deaths to skyrocket to dangerous levels. Engineers began to disappear, people who caught on began to try to escape. Some people did escape but the rest were unlucky as the pods went into lock down meaning they were stuck on board.
The higher ups were very well protected and would be safe for a time before they had to leave via VIP escape pods. During the deaths of many innocent people Issac and Ellie learnt the truth, however, things had already gone to shit. The Necromorphs were crawling all over the vessel, Issac and Ellie had to relive this nightmare once more. What was worse was that their daughter was somewhere on the ship, the two would not leave until they found her. So they have their thing happening if we choose to go OCxOC They will have the subplot as we will be meeting up with one or both of them unless Issac or Ellie is played by you. The main plot will be altered during the RP as new things are learnt and new goals have to be done to move on. One thing will remain, they will want to survive until the very end and stop whatever is happening.
We will be hopping from the Vulse to a nearby planet and to even other nearby powered and none powered ship like in Dead Space 3. Some of the ships are not important but they may find things to help them survive or continue on. Both OCxOC will be new to this and so won't know how to deal with such a problem.The OC you will play does not have to be an engineer, however, it only makes sense for an engineer to wear the suit so you won't have one like it. If something is not done the human race could be in trouble, what's more, the Necromorphs could spread across the various worlds and galaxies in existence.
Pairings:
We don't have to use this idea, but whatever happens, I would be playing the daughter of Issac Clarke [She has a CS already made]. You can be the man himself, Ellie or an OC. It has been a while since I seen Dead Space 1-3 but things would have moved on so background on the games is not needed. I may have to watch a lets play once more, I could play it but I feel that would take longer since when I do play games drama happens.

Other:
I own Dead Space 1, 2, & 3 but they are on my to-play list as I have 20-26 other X-Box games [7 Wii U games as well and 1 low-end PC game] to play before it but I have watched let's plays of the game itself. I brought Dead Space because it was cheap and the fact many horror games are getting cancelled these days. I will be rewatching the Let's Plays to refresh myself on the two characters in Dead Space. Even if they aren't used they are still important and will be encountered often. You don't need to know anything about the games if you want to have a go as this does not relate to much to the original three games. There will be links and even references but they can be ignored, if they are important I will say why.
