This is an RP I wrote up a long time ago. It made it one page on the original site. With about 2 more years under my belt I've decided to update it, and rework it. This is the sort of chopped up ideas of it.
{Set up}
Space has always been considered the final frontier, but it is also the most dangerous. Earth had invested heavily into space exploration, but only recently had it made any success. A planet far out past Pluto in a different solar system was found to have the ability to support life. The Space Station Tyo was established in its orbit to collect more information on the planet. Over the next few months the researchers confirmed that the planet had life and a human friendly atmosphere. Until now no humans had been allowed on the planet’s surface.
A team of specialists was deployed to the station to become the first explorers on the planet. This team codenamed EXO was a collection of humans with variable skills to aid in the exploration. On the day of deployment the EXOs entered the drop pods and were launched to the surface.
The mission was a success. The EXOs were able to expand the stations research potential exponentially. Within another few months the station planned to set up a lab on the surface. A new team of EXOs was organized to do this mission and all seemed like a success.
Eight EXOs and a group of thirty scientists prepared a shuttle to take to the surface and be used as a ferry between the station and lab as it was built. Then everything fell apart. Unknown to the EXOs or anyone else a ninth EXO had remained behind, and sabotaged the station. He had planned to destroy the station before the shuttle launched, but the flight had been moved up. The shuttle only barely made it into the planet’s atmosphere before the station exploded. Debris rained down around them, and pelted the ship. Most of its systems were knocked out, and it only just made a crash landing. None of the scientists survived, and the ship was too damaged to fly again without massive repairs. You know rescue will not come, so it is time to complete your mission.
{EXO’s}
The Exo’s are human pilots of mechanized suits. The suits they pilot were created originally to assist in the building of Tyo Station. When their potential as a way to explore the alien planet the suits were re-designed and customized for the specialist who would pilot them.
each suit is designed specifically for each pilot. No two are the same. Some pilots have even customized their suits further to their own likings.Each EXO has their own special set of skills, and were hand picked for just that.

{Planet 4578}
This alien world has similar climates to earth, but has more continent then ocean. The planet is capped with artic poles like earth, and follows similar climate dispersion. Below the artic is temperate areas, below that are deserts, and at the equator rainforests. Few species on the planet have been researched heavily yet, and those that have share basic traits like those of earth animals, but many new and strange ones. The crash zone was in the southern part of the north temperate zone.
{Earth}
the planet we all hail from. Its still not the greatest place really even in the year four thousand there is a lot of political issues and all sorts of nonsense going on there. Space exploration has become very important as it has become harder to find places to live, and the moon colony was far too problematic in its construction to be used on full sized planets.
{Rules}
2. This is a survival style RP. I expect things to break, I expect people to get sick, and I expect you to treat it as a life or death situation. Yes you are EXOs but that doesn’t make you invincible. The suits will sustain their energy levels, unless their generator breaks, so you needn’t worry about that, but the armor, weapons, and other systems that take a beating will need repair and maintenance.[/LEFT]
3.EXO suits cannot be lived in twenty four seven. It is physically demanding to use the suit even though it improves physical prowess. You also will need to eat and drink, which isn’t so easy to do through a helmet, trust me I’ve tried. Not to mention it get’s hot in those things. (That is one draw back of them btw. They overheat after a while since they have to produce their own energy.)[/LEFT]
4. Play to your character strengths. If you are a marine don’t go trying to repair advanced devices without some help from the engineer. If you are the scout please don’t try and do surgery that’s the medic’s job.
6. I’m the GM, and I expect you to understand that things may not always benefit everyone. If something happens to you in the story I am not doing it to you for any reason other than the story and that you were the one who got picked by luck. I’m here to help you though. If you have questions ask me. I will remove you if you are inactive for far too long though, and re-open the spot.
{Sign Ups}
Name: First (middle optional) Last
Nickname: (optional)
Age: (17-42)
Gender: (M or F)
Appearance: Paragraphs and pic (the picture is optional the writing is not). I want to know their physical appearance and their typical clothes. It isn’t required for you to wear any combat armor or anything like that though you obviously can.
Background: You’re history before the EXOs, on earth, and on the station(if you were on the station before being and EXO), and you’re experience as one. Note this is the first ground mission EVER.
Personality: I want to know who this person is almost as well as they do. Also how they cope with stress, their ideals, and a few quotes by them or another person (real or from the IC world).
EXO suit: (name, appearance (pic is ok), weapons, and other notable features. These suits are generally only a little larger than the pilot. Think War Monger from Iron Man, but each one is made specifically for its pilot, so EX. I’m playing the engineer so mine is built so I can still be dexterous while working with machines. A marine’s might be a much bigger one made for combat.)
Work skill:
Personal weapons: (one large and two small. Ex. Sniper rifle and two pistols. OR four small Ex. Two knives two pistols.)
Survival gear: (try to work off of what others brought so that everyone is equipped. Five items. Ex. Tent, flares, canteen, hatchet, tool kit)
RP example: (I’m looking for a rather large example based on this RP. I do NOT want previous work. I want an original one based on this RP. You need to Rp the scenario of your preparation for the mission which begins tomorrow. You’ve been on this station almost a year now as one of the EXOs and you are finally getting your first mission down on planet 4578. I want to see that personality and background come up in this.)
RP theme song: this is fully optional, but if you had to put a theme song to the RP what would it be?
