There's a few points I want to make before I get this going.  In games like Doom or Dead Space, (I'm sure there are better examples but I don't know them at the moment lol,) they seem to build up to the moment when the shit hits the fan by telling the viewer or player, depending if you watched the movies/animes as well as played the games, that there were strange things going on well before your guy showed up or whatever.  People flipping out for no reason, there were constant computer errors and failures, electrical surges, strange voices/growls being heard in the dark and other disturbances as well were being reported well before the 'fun' really began.  You'd think someone would have paid attention and done something about it well before it got to the point it normally does in situations such as the ones shown in Doom and Dead Space.  But if they had then we wouldn't have such a fun time blowing away Necromorphs and Demons now would we?   >:) >:) >:)  Joking aside, this isn't going to be as nearly as complicated as my last attempt at a game.  This will be a freeform little get together that will lead up to the 'fun' as the entire base, ship, or whatever I put together for this ends up in a Hellish world or said world comes to ours in some form or fashion.  This will be supernatural and horror filled and I want characters to be 'human' in the sense that they feel fear, bleed when hurt, etc etc.  Basically real people but if you want to play an alien by all means go for it.  Just no Chuck Norris power people running around is what I'm getting at lol.  Anyway, here we go.

((If someone can find a better example I'm all for it but that's what I got right now.))
Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

The Earth was no longer habitable.  Years of pollution and catastrophic nuclear war made that happen, so our ancestors turned towards the stars.  Our people, once divided, united once more when the first Colony Arks set sail for the emptiness of space, taking hundreds of thousands of people with them.  Each Ark was devoted to certain fields such as preserving as many species of plant and animal life as we could so we could seed our new homes when we found them.  Another held most of the military forces that had also united when our world's government had.  Despite past differences, humanity as a whole would move on and work together or we would die alone.  Then came the Colossus Ark, the last Ark that had been late in development but was finally ready to lift off into the empty void.  The CA was the biggest of all of the Arks, holding close to two million men, women, and children.  Our numbers, once in the billions, had come to this because of our own foolish greed and arrogance over religion, land, wealth, resources; and we were paying for it.  The first aliens we came into contact with made sure to drive the point home further once we were able to understand them.  It turned out that we had been watched from afar, and now that we had achieved FTL yet had all but destroyed our home world, we were allowed to pass peacefully through their areas of space yet until we found a way to fix that which we had destroyed, we would never be accepted.  Thus, research began in earnest in trying to find ways to purify our former home of the toxic radiation and the pollution that was still there.

Despite the open criticism most of the alien species we came into contact with shared, there were a few that were not so openly hostile and actively tried to help us.  New breakthroughs in gene therapy that cured diseases otherwise thought incurable, food production enhancements, and more soon became possible because of their aid.  All of them however were cautious when discussing weapons technology, and most of us couldn't blame them.  Some of us however had not learned from past mistakes and tried to take what they wanted by force.  When we couldn't stop them, our new neighbors did.  Even on the brink of extinction as we were, some of us it seemed were eager to finish the job.  It didn't take long for us to figure out a means to terraform new worlds, purifying and making hostile planets habitable for our species.  But by then we had grown used to life on the Arks since it had been close to three hundred years since we had been on a planet's surface.  Even so, a lot of us were ready to head home or at least feel dirt between our toes again.  Colonies soon became the norm, small pockets of habitable domed metal structures planted on a world's surface until the terraformers could finish their jobs in a decade's time.  But as is oftentimes the case, not everything went according to plan.  This is when we opened a door to a place that should have never been opened when we found ruins on a distant star system far from Earth that not even our alien neighbors knew about.  This is the weeks leading up to the darkness that would pour out of our newest blunder...


UPDATE

I won't create any alien species since I want to see what you guys and gals can come up with first.  I'm letting you have a pretty big amount of freedom here but I do ask that if you play something already established such as a Twi-lek or something like that that you make it fit for this.  No Star Wars, Mass Effect, or whatever references beyond the race name please.  The galactic community at large do not trust humans since they all but destroyed their own Earth and this next part is a bit of a ref from The Day the Earth Stood Still, but anyway, there are few planets out there that can support life, so every planet that can is protected jealously, you could say.  With the advent of terraforming though, that might change but it's a slow process, taking at least a decade if not more depending on the environment and atmospheric conditions, so the neighbors aren't holding their breaths anytime soon.  Considering we accomplished something they couldn't only seems to add fuel to the fire for some of the aliens out there but most are receptive of what we were able to do already.  Anyway, just a few things to consider for when you're making your people if you aren't doing human.

I'll toss my hat into this ring. I even have an alien character I could use. She's already a bit cracked, so having her go insane would be fun. For me, I mean. Not the others. >:)

LMAO good to hear then.  Kind of sounds like Zhan from Farscape the way you say that.  :P  Anyway, I'll be updating the first post here with more info now that I'm actually not falling asleep at my desk and all lol.

Sounds fun. I'll throw my hat in as a human...probably a doctor/medic type.

Vergil1989

Cool beans, glad to hear it.  Thanks for the interest Caela as well as MzHyde.  If I can get a few more people I'll try to get a character profile for both the humans and the aliens.  The alien side will be a little more complicated however since it will require that you come up with a lot of your own stuff unless you pull from a wiki page of some sort, in which case I'd still ask that you remove any active references to whatever they came from lol.

Alien Information;

Name; Luvbi Durward
Gender; Female
Age; 30 in human equivilant, her actual age is around 137
Appearance;
http://images2.layoutsparks.com/1/230878/blue-animated-wings-silver.jpg <Clothing reference if she's traveling
http://wallpapers-dj.com/uploads/wallpapers/2009/04/30/8257/thumb_big_2fece984598e81386bcc489a54b092c8.jpg <Wing Reference and generally how she'd look naked
Orientation; She will often claim straight hood but perhaps she is Bi-curious.
Species; Rysoarian
Home Planet;  The home planet of this race is rather.. well odd. No one outide of the race itself knows where it is and many say it doesn't exist. However their home planet they will refer to as Heavana (Hey-Vanah)
Physical Traits;  Wings are the main sign of your typical Rysoarian, as well as a pair on their back, they also have a pair attached to their ears.
Technology Notes;  Technology doesn't reign supreme with the race
Society Notes;  Mostly dominated Wing color, the ruling family of the Rysoarians are generally a blue winged couple. While the majority of the race is indeed female, Males would have wings similar to this here: http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/006/f/0/Anime_angel_by_candie_gal101.jpg (A royal male will have golden tips born on their wings)
Rysoarian Racial powers and abilities:
Blue wings: Minor healing, Telepathy, Extra-Spatial Awareness (If a Temporal Anomaly changes the timeline, she might be somewhat effected at first but gradually her original memories will return and she'll be one of the few who knows something has changed), Sense presence (Able to sense the presence of powerful beings others may not notice), Glamour (The ability to appear as something completely different)
Being the rarest of all Rysoarian, the Blue winged ones are quite coveted by the races that know of their existence. In few instances wars have been started over such a prize as this. A universe wide rumor spreads abut the sparse ports, usually along the lines of: "If one owns a blue Rysoarian, one shall have fame, fortune, and glory at their fingertips." Certainly never proven but often times this means enslavement for the Soft spoken blue wings.

Black Wings: Psi-Poison (Touch), Pyro Illusion Psi-Pain (touch).
Those with Black wings act more like succubi, often taking the name and augmenting their wings to look more like demon wings by manner of illusion. Able to inflict pain and poison with a touch and create the illusion of fire, these blacks are quite feared.

White wings: (Still in development) Stronger Telepathy than blue wings, Psi-shock (Touch).
Zealots by nature, these wings are feared because they will not hesitate to burn anything they feel impure and unclean, they are rare simply because they get themselves killed more often than not with their "holier than thou" attitudes.

Position;  Medic/Scientist (plant life Specialty)
Equipment;  (Be sure it fits your Position.  Given that humans are guests to most of the universe, we are still required to follow their rules when visiting their homes.)
Medical History;  Luvbi has certainly endured physical torments, Brands can be found every now and again on her flesh, most are old white scars and generally kept covered by a low glamour that is usually constant and done involuntarily
Personality; Luvbi is a shy Rysorian, she beleives to be the last of her kind and is thus fearful of that, but also because she has learned first hand of how cruel the universe can be to her kind. (Gives one a complex doesn't it..) PTSD is the simple term for it, but nothing shows on her record since she refuses to see a doctor.
Background information; Luvbi was born to two Blue winged Rysorians, standard birthing in a rather unstandard location. Her parents raised her until she was old enough to do glamour and understand why she had to keep her wings hidden away from anyone else and her parents left her on a rather random planet. She grew up and sure enough on her 18th birthday, during her first ever Sexual act, her glamour dropped, revealing her for what she was. When her first lover saw this he passed it off as nothing and even complimented her on the lovely wings but sold her out to slave trading merchants who were looking for some nice stock. She suffered greatly beneath the hands of several masters, escaping each time by some nice person who ended up getting killed for his or her trouble.

All of this gave her a very bad outlook on societies to be sure. Eventually she went on to become a licensed alien doctor and holds the title of scientist, specializing in plant life. Mostly because she can do this in relative solitude, though she is prone to breakdowns usually unseen. Normally she will be withdrawn and absolutely refuse to talk about her past, other times signs of it will show in the occasional flinch at a harsh word or even a simple friendly touch, other times she can be caught crying for what appears to be no reason. Luvbi so far has kept  this past behind her and hidden herself among the humans on their colonies. Now she is employed as a scientist and medic, and will show  friendly face and kind advice medical wise to any that wish it, so long as those questions do not delve to deeply into the skeletons in her closet.

Hey Vergil, if you're looking for some good inspiration and mechanics for a sci-fi survival horror, check out Eclipse Phase. It's a little more, ahem, advanced than Doom or Dead Space (case in point, you're a transhuman versus a original flavor human (usually)) but it's very horror-centric. Plus, all the core content is open source, so there be no piratin' involved (yarr).

Otherwise, I always like to reference Event Horizon for freaky hellspace related stuff  >:)

I'd be interested in trying this out, at the very least so you can have a red shirt to dispose of as quick-as-you-like, but I'm trying not to spread myself too thin over a bunch of games. If that's alright with you, I'll throw something together for you to check.
A&A

MzHyde

Name;Caxar'lia-la Da'raqui (Cee Dee)
Gender;Female
Age;518
Appearance;About five-five, green skin and quite buxom. Long, pointed ears. Bright blue eyes. Black lips. Antennae-like appendages. Short 'hair' matching her skin tone on her head, completely hairless elsewhere. Generally dressed in a skin-tight white uniform that leaves her arms and thighs exposed. Matching boots and arm coverings. The arm coverings have small buttons hidden in them, allowing her to call up various holographic screens and displays that float in the air just in front of her face. These images can be spun and manipulated.
Orientation;Bisexual
Species;Plant-like, for certain. She refuses to outright state her species, but based on her composition and mannerisms she may be some kind of offshoot of a sentient plant species from Planet 42.
Home Planet;Unknown, though the previously mentioned Planet 42 is a lush world completely overrun with jungle. Almost all plantlife on Planet 42 is sentient and much of that is predatory. Hardly anything besides the plants themselves survive there. Criminals will sometimes attempt to flee to Planet 42 since no one will chase them, but these thugs are usually never heard from again.
Physical Traits;She does not seem to have any blood, never needs to eat and can sustain herself on water. Inside, she is composed of thousands of bio-organic cells clustered together. Needless to say she is very.. complex. Her intelligence is immense, as is her skill with anatomy and all known forms of science (and three she seems to have made up at some point - seriously). Surprisingly, she has three sets of vocal chords. This is why people just call her 'Cee Dee', since in order to pronounce her name properly humans would have to rip their own vocal chords out and re-install them backwards and upside-down. Her voice has a slightly hypnotic quality to it, making those that listen to her compelled to agree. This wears off as someone gets used to listening to her, but to new people and in times of duress, it can be effective.
Technology Notes;Highly advanced. The tech she seems to have brought with her is lightyears ahead of it's time and part of the reason she's earned her position as Science Officer. Her suit houses advanced scanning, mapping, information gathering, communication and strategic equipment. It all operates based on her DNA signature. At the push of a hidden little button on her collar, the suit can suddenly flow like liquid, travel UP her body, and leave her completely nude. Not scientific, but very handy for getting naked.
Society Notes;As one of the few of her kind wandering the stars, her culture remains mostly unknown. She seems to be very sexually free, believes in no major religion, and lives for discovery and exploration. Perhaps this is why there are so few of her kind around. Insatiable curiosity and a penchant for heedlessly attempting risky scientific experiments is not good for a species' survival rate.
Position;Chief Science Officer, Surgeon (while Medicine is not her forte, she has enough knowledge and dexterous enough hands to be of help.)
Equipment;Nano-Fiber Intelli-Suit
Medical History;Humans would describe her as having O.C.D. - she likes things in even numbers, must have order, hates unanswered questions.
Personality;Most of the time, very chipper and happy to assist. She has a surprisingly dark sense of humor and often tells wild stories of her previous adventures. It can be hard to tell what's truth and what's lies with her, as all her tales seem to have that little kernel of truth that makes the wild parts a little more believable. She can be very casual about violence, and the need to kill.
Background information;Her species, being travelers and often not at their phones, were vastly under-represented when it came time to help the humans find a new home without messing it all up. Cee Dee was, in actuality, the ONLY of her kind to answer the call. In reality, she probably took the position out of sheer curiosity. Can the humans really find and settle a new world without repeating the same mistakes? She really wants to know.

Her expertise in terraforming, botany, farming, and wilderness survival made her a choice candidate. Sadly for the crew, she tends to stick her nose into just about everything onboard. Weather for good or ill (thankfully, mostly for good) she has been trying her hand at everything from engine repair to making the nights meal. She is rarely seen just standing idle, as boredom drives her crazy. 

Vergil1989

Two problems, the first is that your history is too short.  I said two paragraphs of five sentences each.  The second is that humans made the first successful terraforming sciences unless I just read your thing wrong, in which case I'll shut up lol.  Anyway, I like Cee Dee otherwise and I am happy to have her around.  ;D

Event Horizon was an epic movie, drastically understated if you ask me but anyway, I've never heard of Eclipse Phase but I'll definitely take a look at it.  Feel free to drop a link for it if you like if I don't get to it first lol.  At any rate Nom De Plume, I'd be welcome to have you my new friend.  And I don't plan to dispose of any PC characters without first talking it over with said PC first.  NPCs however will probably be dying by the dozens, if they don't end up in a worse situation such as ending up transformed into some kind of freaky ass creature, or something else entirely.  We'll see how that goes.  :P

Another game that comes to mind for this is Colony Wars, not so much for the horror aspect but simply the idea of trying to find a new world and all that during the middle of a massive galactic war which left Earth on the brink of extinction.

I think you read it wrong. I never said she made terraforming, I said she was an expert in that field. Also, her background is nine sentences. What more could I add that wouldn't be meaningless? I can't really think of anything else and she has quite an extensive profile already. Can't you spot me a sentence?

Nom De Plume

It's a pretty easy find, but I really ought to have put this in my post in the first place; the Eclipse Phase site.

As for the character, I'll put something up soon and we'll see if I'm needed to fill up your roster. I'll probably roll as some sort of mechanic or engineer, just for the sake of novelty.
A&A

Vergil1989

Easy there MzHyde.  I apologize if I came off as a bit nit picky or anything but sure, just separate them into a 5 and 4 paragraph sections if you wish.  Beyond that, you're good to go my friend.  And NDP, I already found it but thanks for throwing it up anyway lol.  And cool, both ideas sound alright to me.

Nom De Plume


McGillain, moments prior to a vicious nosebreaking.
(That was a joke, but seriously; busted up nose.)
Name: Brahm McGillain (Mic-gill-Ayne, emphasis on capitals)
Gender: Male
Age: 29
Orientation: Straight
Position: Engineering- AI and Robotics; previously combat engineer.

Appearance:
  Standing at nearly six-six in height, Brahm is the model for combat experienced personnel. Densely muscled and pitted in shrapnel scars, he has allowed his dusty red hair and beard to grow out. The former is to hide his lack of ears, the latter, he says, because "you can't sport a beard in the navy unless you want an officer to grab you by the chin and knee you in the nose." His face is a mash of classic scottish-dominant features, though his normally straight, narrow nose is simply a mash- probably resulting from an attempt to grow aforementioned beard in the navy. He usually dresses in clothes that looked like they were once neat and cleaned thoroughly, years ago, but have now seen more casual (and careless) use. If he isn't wearing simple, formfitting athletic shirts and some loose pants, he might be seen in his old military uniform, sporting the few honors he earned prior to his booting.

Equipment: 
-External digital transcription systems. Ear cups designed to support microcomputer optical links, external over-eye display and a suite of audio receptors.
-Variety of robotics tools, interface computers and AI processing/development units. Exoskeleton for moving some of the larger repair bots.
-Gyrojet "Bullwhip" pistol, fashioned after an Old-Earth relic (S&W M500 .50 Magnum, six rounds.) High sentimental value.
-Various old world relics, part of his family's inheritance.

Medical History:
  McGillain is deaf, due to explosive trauma to his middle and inner ear. He uses ectos (external computers and display systems) to transcribe speech, issue warnings and visualize sound patterns. The inner ear is at least partially replaced with cybernetics (mainly to deal with issues of balance, due to the impossibility of repair without proper wetware.) He has two circular, metal plates grafted over where his ears should be, preventing changes in air pressure from disorienting him. This causes a great deal of contention between him and the medical officers who installed the devices. Preferable to redirect services directly to pharmaceutics.

Depression caused by loss of hearing, possible PTSD due to military service. Medicated fairly heavily. VERY reticent about biomodification, refuses ear treatment despite former knowledge of gene therapy (myopic, various heart conditions prior to in vitro genetic workup) and current cybernetics.

Personality:
  Although not xenophobic, McGillain reciprocates the alien's passive-aggresive hostility. In fact, he treats just about everyone the same; he's gruff, blunt to a fault and a little insecure. Among the well-learned he feels treated like little more than a technician or repairman instead of a peer (despite his work coding and designing AIs and robots essential to the function of the colony.) Those less knowledgeable find him, at best, like the pompous science officers and their "oh so precious/important" pet projects, and at worst a soldier out of his depth.

  His attitude worsens among those who've undergone extensive (read: any) biomodification. He is an evident bioconservative, and a proponent of "no, I like the machines on the OUTSIDE, thank you very much" philosophy.

  He's not entirely incapable of making friends, though. After getting past the shell he envelops himself in, he can be quite personable and willing to kill some time. Fine drinks, hydroponic tabbacco and women, discussions on topics of new-age human philosophy, robotics and weaponry and a hand or two of whatever passes for poker on that particular district of space are good ways to get him to open up. He has a soft spot for anything antique, and despite living in the relative squalor of his machine shop, he has a small fortune of old Earth relics that would have many collector foaming at the mouth (including, funnily enough, some old world comics and smut mags.)

Background information:
  One of the latest generations raised on one of the military Arks, Brahm was conceived, designed and born for military service. Coming from a long line of Scottish heritage, he was taught pride, purity and to be tough as nails from the start. Although his above average intelligence painted him a pariah among his peers, he found ways to beat his way into acceptance. By the time he reached the equivalence of a high school diploma, he had surrounded himself with surrogate brothers. These would-be blood siblings would become his brothers in arms throughout the rigorous boot camp enforced on all children as a rite of adulthood. He was recognized for his smarts, but reprimanded for his contemptuous attitude; they had a hard time beating that out of him. He was relegated to the combat engineering corps instead of a position as officer.

  During an assault on a colony by crazed zealots, McGillain was tasked with the improvisation and deployment of a small contingent of kamikaze drones. While on the field, he and his squad were ambushed, and the high-explosives detonated prematurely; McGillain lost consciousness due to the omnidirectional concussive blasts. When he came to, he was in a hospital in some colony, having been in an extensive coma and having lost his sense of hearing. He quickly regressed, becoming petulant, angry at the world and withdrawn. He was released from service with a what amounted to a purple heart, a clap on the back, severance pay and a job with the colony's maintenance crews.



I took a couple liberties, I hope you don't mind.

You went well beyond what was required and I must say I am quite impressed by your profile my friend.  Welcome aboard and the liberties you took were perfectly cool by me so no worries on that.  I'll try to organize things better tomorrow but for now I'm already liking this group.  On a side note, I normally allow people to play two characters, in this case it would be one human and one alien.  Just thought I'd throw that out there real quick lol.

IMPORTANT UPDATE as of October 6th 2016 in A/A page

Thrasius

Name: Ziris

Gender: Male

Age: Unknown

Appearance: Ziris

Orientation: Heterosexual

Species: Esterion

Home Planet: Esteria, although called a planet, is more of a collection of solitary asteroids floating in space inhabited
by the Esterions. There is little atmosphere and almost zero gravity, making it difficult for humans to visit/study
them.

Physical Traits: Ziris has translucent, blue tinted skin with the texture resembling a thicker version of human skin.
Much like the human body has a skeleton, Ziris's skeleton is organized in such a fashion that it resembles combat
armor, making him very resilient to damage. His head lacks any human like features but whenever he talks, a darker
shade of blue flashes brighter depending on how he fluctuates his words. Since he has arms shaped more like a blade,
he cannot use any fire arms or melee weapons, using his arms as melee weapons instead when need be. He can run
just as fast as any normal human being but he excels at jumping, using his incredibly strong legs to do so. Compared
to a human being, he is very tall standing nearly 7' 0".

Technology Notes: At first, his species was a very slow developing race. However, since his race is so passive, it really
didn't matter to them. This all changed with the first development of the Reticule. This allowed them to do things that
they thought were otherwise impossible. The Esterions started to thrive but, unfortunately, this is the only major
breakthrough they have ever had. As of now, they are at a stand still as far as their technology goes but the Reticule is
still a wonder amongst different races alike. Esteria regularly sends out Esterions to human civilizations to exchange
technology to help them, and the humans, advance.

Society Notes:  Over time, they developed artificial gravity field generators that kept them to the planet and their
bodies adapted to what little air they had to breath. Esterions are a somewhat passive and usually do not let emotions
get in the way of decisions. Despite them being docile, they are a very strong and hefty race and can take damage, as
well as deal it, well. As far as their military goes, they have one but it has been well hidden. The Esterions have never
used their military before and they would only use it if they were having a world crisis.

Position:  Although he is mainly a solider, he can help determine what's wrong with a person or what's broken on a
piece of technology thanks to his reticule.

Equipment: 


  • Reticule - The reticule is the Esterions most advanced technology by far. All Esterions have a reticule
    implanted in them, around where their face is, at their time of birth. This was intended to quickly communicate
    important information to another Esterion very quickly.  It could also allow them to understand and speak different
    languages, should they ever encounter any visitors. Although transferring information is still something it does, it's
    main purpose now is to assess medical and technical damage.

Medical History: Nothing

Personality: Ziris doesn't get angered very easily, although, he can get angry when fighting or when somebody is
hostile towards him or his allies. However, he will not engage in combat unless somebody attacks him first. Outside
of combat, he has shown signs of having some emotion and is known, as is his race, to be very straight forward. He
always says what is on his mind, even if he knows that it will get him or his party into trouble. Ziris believes that
strategic planning and precise execution is key to surviving any situation.

Background information: Ziris was one of the chosen Esterions to be sent to one of the various human colonies.
Upon arriving, he met with his contact and exchanged the information they had requested and, in exchange, they
would give Ziris the information he wanted. When they refused and tried running with the information, Ziris did
not attempt to go after him, seeing as it wasn't worth it. However, when he tried to return back to Esteria, they would
not grant him permission to return until the information they requested was received or reimbursed with money.

Ziris was taken back to the colony. The man that had stolen the information was long gone so Ziris went to the head
of the colony to ask for reimbursement. The leader refused Ziris and so, Ziris was forced to make the money on his
own. In his search, he had overheard about some crew who needed participants and that the pay was above usual.
Ziris headed to the location and did not hesitate to sign up. Apparently, they were elated to have him on the crew,
seeing as they needed a solider. It might take him awhile, but he was going to get this debt paid off...


(Hope this is alright and let me know if anything needs changing)

RedEve

How quickly will the colonists discover something is wrong? If they had the time to build a structure the size of the one i your second picture, they would have been there for several years already, no?
"I don't have a dirty mind, I have a sexy imagination."
My ons and offs- My F-list

Vergil1989

Indeed RedEve and it'll take an accident such as a rockslide or some such thing during a mining operation for them to uncover the ruins which will start the trouble when they start snooping around.  I haven't decided how this will play out exactly but needless to say, it will be interesting lol.  And Thasius, your guy there is pretty cool and I say he's good to go.  I'm almost done with my own alien and am about to start on my human commander as well.  I still need a name for the base and the planet but beyond that the OOC and stuff should be up before the day is over with.  And as I said once before, everyone can play both a human and as an alien if they wish, can manage it but that's up to you guys and gals.  So far I am liking the group I have already but I do need more humans since we have a few aliens already.  I'd like a nice balance between them lol.

IMPORTANT UPDATE as of October 6th 2016 in A/A page

Vergil1989

Human Information;

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide
Name;  Commander Samantha Jenson.
Gender;  Female
Age;  31
Appearance;  (See pic.)
Orientation;  Bi
Position;  Base Commander.  (Unofficial head of the Roanoke Colony as well.)
Equipment;  She's a military officer, and thus she has access to the armory as long as she has her ID stuff in order.  Beyond that she keeps a headset built into her armored suit as well as a number of combat oriented sensors for backtracing bullet trajectories, when wearing a helmet allows her to see in UV and infrared, as well as a kinetic barrier of sorts.  Not as powerful as a more advanced form of defense, but it does the job for most situations against human opponents.  For aliens, it takes a bit more finesse than brute strength.  That's what they make sniper rifles for.
Medical History;  Besides some emotional issues mostly resolved because of a missing twin, Samantha is in perfect health both physically and mentally.  She has a phobia of being spaced however because of the accident out amongst the stars that took her twin brother.
Personality;  Patient, methodical, observant, deadly in a fight, Samantha is a potent adversary both in and out of a diplomatic meeting.  She always has a backup plan, always a way out if it's needed, but she never goes into a fight or a meeting without knowing everything she can about those she's talking with or about to lay out flat.  She hadn't made it this far by being impetuous and she isn't about to start now, even if coming all the way out to the middle of nowhere on what's turning to be a wild goose chase seems to be to the contrary.
Background information;  Shortly before she enlisted when she was 18, she and her twin were out in space, around the infamous space like Bermuda Triangle.  Some kind of electrical disturbance occurred while she was out there and their ship was blasted to pieces.  She survived thanks to the timely arrival of a passing civilian vessel, but not before she nearly died from being exposed to hard vacuum, her EVA suit having been punctured by a floating piece of shrapnel she couldn't avoid fast enough.  They searched for her brother but they didn't even find a stitch of clothing, let alone him despite the fact their ship was still in the same sector of space where it had been blown apart.  She knew he had been right behind her before the ship had blown apart yet there was no trace of him.  It was as if he had disappeared into thin air, but that was impossible even in the day and age they lived in.  Ever since she has a fear of being spaced.

Afterward she became determined to figure out what happened but nothing came of it until several years later.  She received a coded transmission, no discernible source or names, only a set of coordinates to an unexplored section of space.  By then she had been given the right to lead a new colony and set up shop.  No one knew of her secret communication with the unknown caller, but any possible lead was better than none.  She took a very real chance and hopes that it will pay out eventually.  Until then, she'll do all her can to make things as stable as possible for everyone that's under her command.

Alien Information;

(Yes, I know it's Asari.  It was the only picture of an alien I could find that I actually liked.)

Name;  Taluara T'Shana

Gender;  Female.  (Technically mono-gender)

Age;  127  (Early twenties in human standards.)

Appearance;  Standing at 5 foot 6 inches, Taluara is the typical Asari in appearance.  Pale blue skin, rigid scalp fringes that curl to a tip behind her head, soft full pink lips, glacial blue eyes, and a full feminine like figure complete the alien woman.  Despite her feminine like appearance and similar reproductive organs that match a human woman's nearly perfectly, Taluara will be the first to tell you that she is not truly female, nor is she truly male.

Orientation;  Bi

Species;  Asari

Home Planet;  Kodora is a cultural and technological marvel to the rest of the galaxy.  It's rich resources and even more richly decorated cities are just two of the reasons people travel to the planet, unaware that they have strict guidelines for visitors that manage to make it past their security measures.  Even so, for those that do make it to the planet's surface always go back home awestruck given the beautiful nature of the world the Asari have made for themselves over the years, free of crime, strife, even famine.  Kodora has and most likely always will be the cultural heart of the galaxy at large.  Taluara T'Shana called this place home until she turned 21, when she was shipped out to military training as is required of most young Asari once they are old enough.  She has not returned since.

Physical Traits;  Possessed of strong psychic abilities which only grow stronger the older they become, Asari are few in number compared to other species, yet they make up for their lack in numbers by being able to mate with virtually any species via an unique form of reproduction called melding, where the Asari consciously joins her own and her patner's nervous systems to become essentially one unified being.  This allows the two joined to share memories, thoughts, feelings, and allows the Asari to look through her partner's genetic heritage so that she can pass on desirable traits to her offspring which will always be 100% Asari when born.  Because of their robust cellular regeneration, Asari do not heal faster than a human, but they live far longer, allowing them to live slightly past 1000 years.  Despite rumors to the contrary, Asari are mono-gendered despite their female like appearance that most other species see for themselves.  Despite their ability to reproduce with any other species, Asari are not usually a sexually oriented race.

Technology Notes;  Due to the atmospheric exposure of an element called Eezo on their home planet, Asari and many of the creatures that live on Kodora have adapted some level of resistance and ability to manipulate objects with their minds, potent empathy, and a few other talents as well.  This has helped them to understand other species rapidly beyond anything the rest of the galaxy has seen before, easily integrating themselves as the peace keepers of the galactic community.  Despite their low numbers compared to the rest, few would risk a war with the Asari because of their advances in clean energy use in their devastating starships that mostly range in the Frigate class, but the three dozen Dreadnaughts they keep are also a prime deterrent against an enemy invasion.  Having a few in their ranks that can see the future also helps despite the fact a single choice can change the course of the future for better or worse, so they are extremely careful in their use of their precogs.  Beyond that, they have made most of the gene therapy treatments that the rest of the galaxy now use and enjoy to cure otherwise incurable diseases and improve upon themselves within the strict regulations of galactic law.

Society Notes;  Peace keepers, ambassadors, talented psychic and empathetic people, the Asari are and most likely will always be known as one of the most understanding of species in existence.  Treated with a respect earned through their diplomatic tendencies first, and their brutal yet efficient taste for war second, the Asari will always try to come to a peaceful solution first and only fall to bloodshed as a last resort.  As a whole, the blue skinned female like species are culturally driven and diverse, polytheistic in their religious beliefs, and despite rather slanderous rumors to the contrary, they are not a promiscuous species despite their ability to mate with anyone regardless of gender or race.

Position;  psychologist/psychiatrist, former soldier.  (Not by choice.)

Equipment;  Besides keeping a standard issue Asari crafted pistol on her hip that uses a miniature arc reactor to power its shots, Taluara carries with her on a regular day a Personal Data Assistant that helps her to organize and keep track of the colony's staff records and patient medical files for everyone that comes to see her personally, a scanner that most do not realize contains a mobile polygraph within its standard function capabilities, and her suit she normally wears has a personal shield generator hidden in her belt for emergencies only.

Medical History;  Taulara is in perfect physical health but due to the traumatic nature of her time in the Asari commandos, she does have mild PTSD which she deals with on her own without the use of medication.  Simple meditation on a regular basis deals with the worst of her mental issues, but it's mostly because she didn't have a choice in the matter that really bothers her.  Her mother forced her to enlist, using something from her hidden past that few know about to make her obey.  It was a form of blackmail, and because of this Taulara has not returned home and refuses to talk to her mother again, causing deep resentment and anger issues from time to time if she's having a particularly bad day.  This can lead to violent and often dangerous episodes that can cause serious injury for anyone nearby if she goes off.

Personality;  On a typical day, Taulara is the pinnacle of Asari nature.  She is calm, gentle, compassionate, curious, and always willing to listen to those that come to her for aid with the stress of living in deep space or in their case, in a world trapped in a domed city until the terraformers finish their job.  Unless someone presses the right buttons, very little can anger the psychologist, and while she does not suffer fools, neither does she seek violence.  Violence however, often finds her since due to some past issues with her mother that had wanted her to join the military as soon as she was old enough, the then young and foolish Taulara made a very bad decision which ended in the death of another.  Due to her mother's influence it all but disappeared, but it came at a price.  Taulara had to enlist and she did, but she hated every second of it.  She was a healer, not a soldier, and everyday was a test just to get out of bed.  It didn't help any that she felt guilt ridden about the accident that caused the death to begin with.  Still, she somehow made it through her four required years of service, promptly disappeared the first chance she got, and has not talked to her mother since.  Her mother hasn't made any attempt to follow or find her but due to some of the strenuous missions she had been sent on before, she does suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder that manifests itself in violent and explosive bouts of psychic power but thankfully regular meditation helps to regulate it for the most part.

Background information;  "Consider this current life I lead as an act of penance for past mistakes, and you will come close to that which I guard so closely to my heart."  When pressed for an answer from the colony commander, that was Taulara's response which was enough for the woman in charge when she first signed on three years ago.  No matter how often she was pressed during that first year, Taulara never gave up the whole story, and even now she has kept her secret from everyone that tries to figure it out.  She grew up fast when she accidentally killed another Asari when she was barely into her 20th year during a drunken state at a party she had attended at the time.  Like most Asari young, she was no different in her curiosity for all things, legal or otherwise and it was a day of celebration, a religious day for an old victory in their early struggles to make a name for themselves with the rest of the galaxy.  The details are still a blur despite repeated attempts at figuring out what happened through meditation and other means, but what she knows for certain is that she and the one she killed got into a heated argument that came to physical blows first....and then Taulara reportedly 'threw' the other Asari out of the bedroom window with her mind.  It was rumored it was because the Asari in question had been taking some kind of illicit substance that had driven her mating drive through the roof and Taulara, despite being intoxicated in her own way, had refused her advances and things had escalated from there.  Regardless, it had ended in murder which had quickly been brushed under the rug due to the victim's low status in their society compared to her own.

Having 'enlisted', Taulara's four years in the service couldn't have ended sooner for her as she quickly disappeared, living quietly for a time in a distant human colony far from Kodora while earning her degree in psychology while also learning meditation to deal with her own personal demons.  Military life had not sat well with her at all and it had left its own marks on her psyche which she does her best to deal with to this day.  Despite all this, Taulara is easy to get along with and she always has an inviting presence, eliciting much in the way of cooperation given her people's reputation as being one of the more receptive to the humans that have recently become a part of the universe.  Despite their issues, Taulara herself holds no ill will towards them, and neither do most of her people.  There are of course holdouts but for now she just does her best to make the galaxy a better place one patient at a time.

Roanoke was one of the first colonies set up here in America.  Everyone there disappeared and no one has ever figured out why.  The only thing besides the fact that every house was empty was a single word carved into a tree.  Croatoan.  This is a real event that truly happened.  It's pretty creepy when you think about it lol.  Anyway, almost done with the human commander, then I'll get the OOC and stuff going.

Quote from: Karasu on July 09, 2012, 08:19:55 PM
Alien Information;

Name; Luvbi Durward
Gender; Female
Age; 30 in human equivilant, her actual age is around 137
Appearance;
http://images2.layoutsparks.com/1/230878/blue-animated-wings-silver.jpg <Clothing reference if she's traveling
http://wallpapers-dj.com/uploads/wallpapers/2009/04/30/8257/thumb_big_2fece984598e81386bcc489a54b092c8.jpg <Wing Reference and generally how she'd look naked
Orientation; She will often claim straight hood but perhaps she is Bi-curious.
Species; Rysoarian
Home Planet;  The home planet of this race is rather.. well odd. No one outide of the race itself knows where it is and many say it doesn't exist. However their home planet they will refer to as Heavana (Hey-Vanah)
Physical Traits;  Wings are the main sign of your typical Rysoarian, as well as a pair on their back, they also have a pair attached to their ears.
Technology Notes;  Technology doesn't reign supreme with the race
Society Notes;  Mostly dominated Wing color, the ruling family of the Rysoarians are generally a blue winged couple. While the majority of the race is indeed female, Males would have wings similar to this here: http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/006/f/0/Anime_angel_by_candie_gal101.jpg (A royal male will have golden tips born on their wings)
Rysoarian Racial powers and abilities:
Blue wings: Minor healing, Telepathy, Extra-Spatial Awareness (If a Temporal Anomaly changes the timeline, she might be somewhat effected at first but gradually her original memories will return and she'll be one of the few who knows something has changed), Sense presence (Able to sense the presence of powerful beings others may not notice), Glamour (The ability to appear as something completely different)
Being the rarest of all Rysoarian, the Blue winged ones are quite coveted by the races that know of their existence. In few instances wars have been started over such a prize as this. A universe wide rumor spreads abut the sparse ports, usually along the lines of: "If one owns a blue Rysoarian, one shall have fame, fortune, and glory at their fingertips." Certainly never proven but often times this means enslavement for the Soft spoken blue wings.

Black Wings: Psi-Poison (Touch), Pyro Illusion Psi-Pain (touch).
Those with Black wings act more like succubi, often taking the name and augmenting their wings to look more like demon wings by manner of illusion. Able to inflict pain and poison with a touch and create the illusion of fire, these blacks are quite feared.

White wings: (Still in development) Stronger Telepathy than blue wings, Psi-shock (Touch).
Zealots by nature, these wings are feared because they will not hesitate to burn anything they feel impure and unclean, they are rare simply because they get themselves killed more often than not with their "holier than thou" attitudes.

Position;  Medic/Scientist (plant life Specialty)
Equipment;  (Be sure it fits your Position.  Given that humans are guests to most of the universe, we are still required to follow their rules when visiting their homes.)
Medical History;  Luvbi has certainly endured physical torments, Brands can be found every now and again on her flesh, most are old white scars and generally kept covered by a low glamour that is usually constant and done involuntarily
Personality; Luvbi is a shy Rysorian, she beleives to be the last of her kind and is thus fearful of that, but also because she has learned first hand of how cruel the universe can be to her kind. (Gives one a complex doesn't it..) PTSD is the simple term for it, but nothing shows on her record since she refuses to see a doctor.
Background information; Luvbi was born to two Blue winged Rysorians, standard birthing in a rather unstandard location. Her parents raised her until she was old enough to do glamour and understand why she had to keep her wings hidden away from anyone else and her parents left her on a rather random planet. She grew up and sure enough on her 18th birthday, during her first ever Sexual act, her glamour dropped, revealing her for what she was. When her first lover saw this he passed it off as nothing and even complimented her on the lovely wings but sold her out to slave trading merchants who were looking for some nice stock. She suffered greatly beneath the hands of several masters, escaping each time by some nice person who ended up getting killed for his or her trouble.

All of this gave her a very bad outlook on societies to be sure. Eventually she went on to become a licensed alien doctor and holds the title of scientist, specializing in plant life. Mostly because she can do this in relative solitude, though she is prone to breakdowns usually unseen. Normally she will be withdrawn and absolutely refuse to talk about her past, other times signs of it will show in the occasional flinch at a harsh word or even a simple friendly touch, other times she can be caught crying for what appears to be no reason. Luvbi so far has kept  this past behind her and hidden herself among the humans on their colonies. Now she is employed as a scientist and medic, and will show  friendly face and kind advice medical wise to any that wish it, so long as those questions do not delve to deeply into the skeletons in her closet.

Done and stuff XD

eh chose an alien that is damn perfect with passing for human. I haven't been able to use my little alien species since I made them so I figured a little tweaking and they were good to go.

But yes she does for all intents and perposes, act, look, and speaks, like a human.

The only problem I have is that you don't have any equipment, that and when I first started to look through your stuff I was wondering how she got anywhere but you answered that question just fine, although it was a bit sad lol.  Still, the only other thing I can complain about is that your personality is a little short, but beyond that you are quite good to go Karasu.  Welcome aboard.

To everyone else, the OOC, Character Thread, and the IC are ready to go.  Please move on ahead when you can but drop an OOC comment and your character sheets where they belong before going to the IC.  Thanks!  The OOC is acting as a directory so everything you need should be there.

Sorry to dissapoint, but I don't think my expectations lined up with this game the way I'd hoped. I really do wish you guys the best of experiences writing for this setting, though!

As for everyone else, I need humans since I am quite outnumbered at the moment lol.  I have the only human around since NDP dropped out and while I love the cast I have already, I do want a few more humans before things get too crazy lol.

I apologize but I'm not going to make a character after all. I LOVE the concept but my muse is not being as cooperative as I hoped. Have fun everyone!!

Vergil1989

Aww man.  Oh well, thanks all the same Caela.  Good luck and hope to see you again possibly in the future.  :P

Even though I love the idea of a survival horror game, I think the scope is a bit too big for me to enjoy it. Setting it in a city will turn it more into a general post-apocalyptic scenario...

Well, unless I misunderstood, the idea is for the city to be overrun by something?

Aye, that's the plan and the apocalypse stuff has already happened to the human race, they're just rebuilding and the colony we're on now is just a small part of the recovery process.  Losing one colony won't kill off everyone, just that single planet, and that's assuming they are successful in overrunning them to begin with.  :P

RedEve

Name; Meredith La Salle
Gender; Female
Age; 26
Appearance; see photograph
Orientation; straight
Position;  Medical resident
Equipment; diagnostics scanner, medical console, sedative dispenser
Medical History; Some abandonment issues caused by the sudden end to her last relationship, otherwise she is in fine health of body and mind.
Personality; Compassionate, understanding, patient, slightly timid, at times a bit insecure
Background information; Meredith only arrived on the colony a few months prior. The reason for her moving there is to complete her medical residency in one of the colony hospitals. She herself spent the entirity of her earlier life on the Colossus Ark. She comes from a medical background, with her father being a spinal surgeon and her mother an anesthesiologist. So it was barely a surprise to her parents and siblings (one older brother and one younger sister) that she followed into their footsteps. She proved to be an above average student, though never truly amongst the top of her class.

The posting on the colony came at an opportune time, since Meredith was looking for a way to escape her broken relationship, as she and her fiancée annulled their planned wedding three months before the act. Since arriving on the colony she has then buried herself in work, spending most of her time at the hospital, and what little time she spends at her small apartment is mostly devoted to studying. She misses her family, but at the same time is thankful for some time away from the Ark.

She looks good RedEve.  Welcome although if I wanted to be nit picky I'd ask for some more in your personality lol.  Still, it's cool so go ahead and get moving along the OOC and all that if ya like.

Alien Information;

Name; Luvbi Durward
Gender; Female
Age; 30 in human equivilant, her actual age is around 137
Appearance;
http://images2.layoutsparks.com/1/230878/blue-animated-wings-silver.jpg <Clothing reference if she's traveling
http://wallpapers-dj.com/uploads/wallpapers/2009/04/30/8257/thumb_big_2fece984598e81386bcc489a54b092c8.jpg <Wing Reference and generally how she'd look naked
Orientation; She will often claim straight hood but perhaps she is Bi-curious.
Species; Rysoarian
Home Planet;  The home planet of this race is rather.. well odd. No one outide of the race itself knows where it is and many say it doesn't exist. However their home planet they will refer to as Heavana (Hey-Vanah)
Physical Traits;  Wings are the main sign of your typical Rysoarian, as well as a pair on their back, they also have a pair attached to their ears.
Technology Notes;  Technology doesn't reign supreme with the race
Society Notes;  Mostly dominated Wing color, the ruling family of the Rysoarians are generally a blue winged couple. While the majority of the race is indeed female, Males would have wings similar to this here: http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/006/f/0/Anime_angel_by_candie_gal101.jpg (A royal male will have golden tips born on their wings)
Rysoarian Racial powers and abilities:
Blue wings: Minor healing, Telepathy, Extra-Spatial Awareness (If a Temporal Anomaly changes the timeline, she might be somewhat effected at first but gradually her original memories will return and she'll be one of the few who knows something has changed), Sense presence (Able to sense the presence of powerful beings others may not notice), Glamour (The ability to appear as something completely different)
Being the rarest of all Rysoarian, the Blue winged ones are quite coveted by the races that know of their existence. In few instances wars have been started over such a prize as this. A universe wide rumor spreads abut the sparse ports, usually along the lines of: "If one owns a blue Rysoarian, one shall have fame, fortune, and glory at their fingertips." Certainly never proven but often times this means enslavement for the Soft spoken blue wings.

Black Wings: Psi-Poison (Touch), Pyro Illusion Psi-Pain (touch).
Those with Black wings act more like succubi, often taking the name and augmenting their wings to look more like demon wings by manner of illusion. Able to inflict pain and poison with a touch and create the illusion of fire, these blacks are quite feared.

White wings: (Still in development) Stronger Telepathy than blue wings, Psi-shock (Touch).
Zealots by nature, these wings are feared because they will not hesitate to burn anything they feel impure and unclean, they are rare simply because they get themselves killed more often than not with their "holier than thou" attitudes.

Position;  Medic/Scientist (plant life Specialty)
Equipment;  Mostly first aid kits and some bottles, vials, gloves, and tweezers just in case she wants to take a sample of some plant life. Otherwise, she can be found with any number of romantic novels.
Medical History;  Luvbi has certainly endured physical torments, Brands can be found every now and again on her flesh, most are old white scars and generally kept covered by a low glamour that is usually constant and done involuntarily
Personality; Luvbi is a shy Rysorian, she beleives to be the last of her kind and is thus fearful of that, but also because she has learned first hand of how cruel the universe can be to her kind. (Gives one a complex doesn't it..) PTSD is the simple term for it, but nothing shows on her record since she refuses to see a doctor.
Background information; Luvbi was born to two Blue winged Rysorians, standard birthing in a rather unstandard location. Her parents raised her until she was old enough to do glamour and understand why she had to keep her wings hidden away from anyone else and her parents left her on a rather random planet. She grew up and sure enough on her 18th birthday, during her first ever Sexual act, her glamour dropped, revealing her for what she was. When her first lover saw this he passed it off as nothing and even complimented her on the lovely wings but sold her out to slave trading merchants who were looking for some nice stock. She suffered greatly beneath the hands of several masters, escaping each time by some nice person who ended up getting killed for his or her trouble.

All of this gave her a very bad outlook on societies to be sure. Eventually she went on to become a licensed alien doctor and holds the title of scientist, specializing in plant life. Mostly because she can do this in relative solitude, though she is prone to breakdowns usually unseen. Normally she will be withdrawn and absolutely refuse to talk about her past, other times signs of it will show in the occasional flinch at a harsh word or even a simple friendly touch, other times she can be caught crying for what appears to be no reason. Luvbi so far has kept  this past behind her and hidden herself among the humans on their colonies. Now she is employed as a scientist and medic, and will show  friendly face and kind advice medical wise to any that wish it, so long as those questions do not delve to deeply into the skeletons in her closet.

So she doesn't carry any equipment then?  Well, beyond that you're good to go I guess.  :P
