Henlo! Welcome to my first interest check! I've written an rp on here before but ... i didn't actually stop to see if anyone was interested first, -heh-. SO this time I wanna yknow git some buzz going! Git that hype! Anyway, the idea is pretty simple but I'll give it some flare;

The earth is dying, but not all hope is lost. The nations of the world have come together in one final act of foresight and built the great colony ships. 36 massive ships designed to seed human life onto new worlds. The crew are young adults selected by lottery and trained into a variety of required positions. Prepared until the very last moments they are sealed into suspended animation and launched in every direction.

The ships are designed for deep space. The are equipped to deal with the hazards of space, capable of navigating independently and detecting life-sustaining worlds at great distances. Most importantly they hold the seeds of a new human race, and the keys to their survival. The journey, however, is perilous for each of the arks. Some are destroyed by hazards too powerful to be resisted, some are disabled by unforeseen system failures or encounters with strange parts of space, but other find their mark in the vastness of space; planets with suitable environments for human life.

Those ships engage the last part of their mission, scanning the planet for the most habitable location and separating into landing sections and stellar sections. Landing sections fall to the planet at the designated location to become the first base of operations for the colony to be, while the stellar sections remain in orbit acting as a communication array and functional space station if such a thing becomes needed.

That's the normal plan anyway.

Our story surrounds a group trained, in part, as emergency crew that is awoken mid-landing when a system failure knocks out landing engines on the actual colony section of the ship.

... i hope some of that was a little clear >snort< post here if ur interested, and don't just be like "i'm interested in this!" tell me what kind of character you would play ... i'm thinking like engineers and botanists and stuff, and everyone is kinda combat trained a little, but there are also soldiers and stuff ... i dunno, gimme ur ideas xD

THE ROSTER SO FAR!

Guccicorn - an engineer OwO
Martian - an biologist @w@
Rekker - an pilot UwU

I would be interested in this. Character wise I'm thinking something related to biology, whether they be a doctor or something more impressive like a xeno-biologist. Also you mentioned that we are young adults, so what age range are we looking at? But yes I am definitely wanting to join this roleplay.

i figure characters would be between 15 and 25, and i like the character idea. I could see even there being both medical and research staff, so whichever you think you'll be more comfortable playing. There will be overlap, of course, and I'm expecting a biologist would prolly be able to like ... clumsily set a broken leg or something.

but yis, welcome! am glad ur interested!

You know what? I'll throw my hat in the ring. If available, I'd go for Pilot. Here's a broad stroke, rough CS just to get an idea going:


Connor Wolverson



Age: 25
Personality/Bio: Connor is pretty easy going during "off hours", but once he is put to a task, he can be as serious as they come. He is a fanatic of good times, revelry and even a drink now and then. If it can fly, drive or float, he is the wheelman you want on your side.

He would describe himself as more of a lover than a fighter, but that's just his way of saying he sucks at fighting. When he is not enjoying the pull of g-force and the blur of high speeds, he likes to draw. He tends to prefer his own sketches over photographs and will often draw portraits for people he knows or abstract art of what he thinks far off planets and their inhabitants might look like.

When his name was selected in the lottery to embark upon the expedition, he was hit with a wave of excitement and uncertainty. He doesn't know what the future holds for him, but he's excited to find out!

I'm sure I may come up with some tweaks or some more fleshing out of the character down the line, but there is a general idea of what I might go for, if accepted. Hope it pleases! And, of course, if it that sort of character would be out of place in the RP, I can certainly come up with something else.

@Rekker yey that's perfect! I'm still trying to figure out what I think people's training or expertise would be like, and I think I've decided that everyone will have a base level of training in everything, and then will pick a specialization. So like, any crew member can; manually unlock a busted door, use a weapon, repair minor damage to such and such, yknow? Then each character gets specializations like biology or botany or engineering or piloting.

I also want to see who we get and discuss options xD so things won't be set in stone yet, and I welcome feedback ^-^

my character is gonna be

Age: 17
Background: Esther Morrison
Skillset: Esther was chosen for the program when she was still in early grade school after a standard aptitude and assessment test. She was put into the accelerated engineer training program, a rigorous regiment of coursework focused specifically on engineering and the bare minimum of everything else. Denied even a social life, she was basically estranged from her family by the time the mission launched, offering a cold, confused wave at strange people crying on the other side of the glass before she was led into a shuttle and flown to the orbital platform for her assigned ship. Led inside, fitted for her suit, and taken to her designated stasis tube, the last thing she remembers is watching the stars swim across her vision as the sedative kicked in.

(Imunna flesh out profiles but i wanted to give an idea of my character ^-^ )

Instead of just bumping, I will give a bit of info about what i think the starter will be;

Characters awake from stasis in an emergency scenario, the lander segments are having some kind of trouble and the emergency crew have been awoken to assist with landing in the event that computer error is the issue. The crew, struggling with stasis sickness and memory loss, stumble their way through wake up, remembering their skills before anything else thanks to pre-launch mental conditioning.

They reach the controls and ...

I have ideas, but i kind of want to ... like make setting posts and kind of narrate .. and i kind of want there to be some suspense and mystery in the first part at least ... and then the story kind of evolves into a chapter two which is (MAYBE MAYBE NOT WHO KNOWS I DONT KNOW U KNOW NOTHING TELL NO ONE!) the much more like ... face-to-face dangers of establishing a like starter colony after >COUGHCOUGHSOMEKINDOFTHING<

Probably a cleric with a serious drinking problem, from the war of course. I'm going to sleep now.

Since Dark Cloud mentioned that they wanted to be a medical officer, I might make a biologist of some variety instead. The idea is had is that they're like 19-20 and just happened to be studying astro biology before getting picked by the lottery. Due to his prior knowledge of the field, he is made one of the senior crew of one of the colony ships, hence why he is woken up when things go bad. I currently have no idea what nationality to make this character. Has anyone else picked from where on Earth their character is from?
