Project Ark
Ok so this roleplay will be set in space, and possibly lead down to a hostile, untamed planet. It'll be a story and character driven experience, so you could direct your own stories as well as take part in an over arching story gently directed by your's truly. Keep in mind that this is just a general idea that I'm posting to check for interest. It will be fleshed out properly in an OOC thread.
The meat of the idea is that when it became clear that planet Earth was on an unavoidable path of destruction that would mean the extinction of the human race, the world governments came together to construct a plan to ensure our survival. This was the Ark Project. Three gargantuan super spacecraft were built, each designed to support ten thousand humans in Cryostasis indefinitely. After being launched, these Arks would explore the galaxy, at random, until one reached a planet capable of sustaining human life, where upon it would awaken the humans to colonize this new world, thus ensuring the continuation of the human race. Along with the ten thousand colonists, each one chosen to ensure the health and diversity of future generations, the Arks were loaded with complete Data Archives of every possible bit of information compiled during human history, the equipment necessary to build, sustain and eventually expand a viable colony, and a small crew trained specifically for running the ship, if necessary, and helping the colonists survive.
You, as the player, would take the role of one of those crew members, waiting in suspended animation until you are needed.
When the Arks were launched, one never made it off the ground. One suffered catastrophic equipment failure at the edge of the solar system and exploded. And the last, the Halcyon, was lost track of as it passed beyond the borders of the system. Now centuries later, long after the last humans died out on Earth, the Halcyon continues it's journey through the galaxy, on a never ending mission to find a home for the last living humans in existence.
