Couldn't really think of another title.

After browsing I was thinking of doing a "Lost In Space" type group  game.

~turns on projector~

Ok so the story is based in the not so distant future. The planet earth is completely destroyed and the human populous is endangered. The ones that did make the cut are adrift in space on these large country sized ships called "colonies" that are also occupied by "other" races of  beings from different parts of space.

Now the focus of this story is to focus on the dwindling human culture and how they survive in space, also I  the alien vs human hostilities.  Really I'm just drafting up ideas. Anyone interested is welcome to chime in.

This is a very 'tight' story because there is no planet to explore (yet) and developing relations between humans and aliens (hostile or not so hostile) will be interesting. Yes I do expect some race mixing and we will be needed 'alien' characters if this gets off the ground. Aliens can look however you want them to and not the typical green little men from mars.

Let me know what you guys thinks

kinda like babylon 5 but not as friendly?

JDrew Spider

Wonderful!

@Babylon I'm not familiar with Babylon 5 (at least I don't think). It's sort of like that movie  "Titan A.E." , but you're right on the not as friendly part.

Since I have enough interest I can start world building. Does anyone know what type of characters they have in mind?

Let's say it's been five years since the earth has been destroyed. Not really focusing on why or how they planet was destroyed, but just how exactly are some humans going to adapt. I want to say we were at the point we're humans started building space stations on the moon, but that was also destroyed too.


The Colony will be run like a giant space ship, sort of like an alien Noah's Ark. Humans are at the bottom of the inter-species totem poll. They have rights and all that it's just that they are exposed to certain prejudices being a 'baby' race. However not all aliens feel the same way, some have adopted humans in to their cultures.

Hopefully that will give you an idea of what everyday life is like in the colony.

Colony ship will need a pilot, for some reason in sci-fi stuff I like being the pilot, don't know why :P

JDrew Spider

While surfing for some alien idea I came across this!

http://pinterest.com/sengokubunny/sci-fi-rp-alien-ideas/

I might use one for my character. Alrighty, I'll get started on character sheet in a bit.

@Raziel, well a ship does need a pilot, ya know?

@Doom, sounds good.

.The Blueprint

Name: Ceres sai Re
Gender: Symbiote(male)/Female

Origins: Little is known in detail about this race of symbiote. They are a sentient race of semi-organic beings who can live for thousands of years in a host body. While it may be true that they were indeed engineered it is not for certain by who or for what purpose. To fairly newer races they are called "parasites" for their ability to attach their-selves and alter the biology of the host, but being that the symbiotes are indeed masculine every host they attach themselves to must be female in order for an organic fusion to balance. Once balance has occurred and the host accepts, a partnership between the two develops.

Background: Ceres hails from the planet Khamit Dune. they are a race of winged humanoid like beings. In the past they have visited earth many times and have shared knowledge and power with indigenous populations. They had left the earth to it's own devices thousands of years before it's destruction. Ceres occupation was an ambassador of war for her planet because in this time neighboring planets were warring over resources at the time. In the battle of control one of the ships Ceres was occupying along with the captain and crew had been blown apart and left adrift in space until discovered  by race of sentient inorganic beings that were composed mostly of dark matter. Her crew did not survive and being badly injured she also accepted death not knowing what became of the rest of war. However the beings that saved her made her an offer she could not refuse...

She accepted the bonding of the symbiote to her form and her body was restored. Unfortunately  she was too late to save her own planet, the war was lost, the fight over and she was left to wander the stars with rogue crew of cosmic travelers. Ever since that time there has always been growing hostility  between various races because many lives and planets had been lost. The remnants of such catastrophe gathered on space drifting colonies where they were forced to make due and to realize that many were without a planet.

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Currently:She serves as the lead of operations for the colony as peace enforcer

Description /Abilities: Her normally physiology can be compared to the average earth woman except she is stronger and more durable. Her wings allow her flight at sub sonic speed with a span of 12 feet. With the symbiote she is able to heal in hours and not in days, the symbiote also forms as organic weapon-anything from full plate of nearly impenetrable body armor to whip like extension, knives and other stabbing weapons.

Likes Spending time in the anti-gravity shaft were she can float peacefully and meditate on today's events. Also she's quite fond of humans and looks at them as a baby race. Her favorite things to snack on are poppers (like popcorn).

Dislikes Strange smells and tentacles.


Alright this will be the jist of it!

Character Name:Aaron Renolds aka Doomglazer

Age: 32

Occupation:Special Ops Soldier

Background: Why were you selected for the Colonist Ship?
As a young student he was picked out of college by the military. Once in the military they noticed he was a special kind of guy who could adapt to every situation they put him in. He was unique in that way. He also wasn't afraid of killing he didn't even blink when he sliced somebodies throat. At the age of 20 he was put into the special ops division. Were he was trained in close combat specialisation and infiltrating. At the age of 30 has was the leader of the special ops division.
I was selected because they needed a soldier hardend in combat and not afraid of speaking his mind. He is also a specialist in close combat

Personality:A quiet guy and takes allot of shit but when it reaches his limit he will go berserk. He always warns people not to step over a certain boundary but if they do they will have felt it.
He is also friendly and a real lady's man always trying to get in there pants. He also respects his commander and would die for him.

Appearance

Name: Briareos
Gender: M
Age:  28 (bio), 2 years-old cyberlogically
Sexuality: Straight

Origins:

        If you haven't guessed it by now, Briareos used to be a human, but is now embodied as a cyborg, with only a quarter of his original biological body intact. Originally a native of Old Earth, Malcolm Davies grew up in New York's historic Harlem residential neighborhood.  As a youth,   Malcolm always had aspirations of becoming one of NYC's finest, and eventually a first class detective.

      For the most part he was successful in achieving his childhood dreams,  entering the police force at the age of 20, eventually advancing to the rank of lieutenant in just 4 years, he was well on the path of becoming a top-class detective until the events that transpired in Manhattan's grand central station.

     An IED bomb was set to detonate on a tanker outside the grand central station. Malcolm was successfully able to locate the bomb and evacuate the area, however he was unable to disarm the bomb which ultimately claimed much of his body in the impending explosion. Malcolm's actions were soon recognized by the media and he was heralded as an American hero. At the same time, the united states government was looking into cybernetic implant programs for wounded vets and police officers. Naturally, Malcolm was at the top of the list of candidates for this type of program. He was re-made stronger, faster, better and given a new name Briareos, after the heavily-armed giant Briareus the Vigorous of greek mythos.  The rest is history.

Luckily, much of his brain and other "valued" parts were preserved following the explosions.


Currently: Lawman, Jack-of-All Trades


Description /Abilities: Briareos is a prime example of cybernetic technology in Appleseed. Although his body is almost completely artificial, he suffers little loss in humanity. His outer skin is elastic, capable of feeling sensation, and the temperature can be adjusted to the cyborg's preferences. Appearance-wise. Malcolm is a rather tall and muscular African-American male with short black hair and brown eyes.




  • Marksmanship(Advanced)
  • Hand-to-Hand Combat (Advanced)
    Boxing: Trained from an early age,  a former golden gloves amateur boxing champ.
    Martial Arts: He is trained in various fighting styles.
  • Artificial/Biological Intelligence(Advanced Processing)

Name: Vanacure Crystaltear
Gender:Male
Race: Achernarian ,  Class Cyborg

Origins: Achernarians are known as a highly advanced race of scholars. They have been called by the humans as space elves due to their pointed ears. They keep their body in the most healthest state they can and hardly ever get sick.

Background:
Vanacure grew up in a big family of six in the Achernar Federation. He had two big brothers and a little sister. His dream was to be a football star and he worked hard to be physicial fit so he could be picked for a football scholarship. His brothers grew up to be a big game hunter and a farmer around the settlement while his sister became beautiful teenage medicial student that turned everyones heads except her brothers. Their lives was perfect or so they thought.

Around the age of 19, a resistence group formed demanding freedom from the federation and took up residence in the settlement Vanacure's family lived in. One day the group saw interest in vanacure's sister and invaded their home one night. Vanacure was knocked out upon answering the door. When he awoke, he found out the men took his sister, killed his brothers and parents for trying to stop them. His sister was alive but only lived to be trophy by the men. As quickly as he could get ready, Vanacure ran to her rescue. Vanacure went in guns blazing taking out all the guards. He was untouched until the leader of the group shot him several times in the back as he was carrying his sister out. The man was about to kill Vanacure and his sister when the man was gunned down by federation marines. A officer saw what robert did to the resistence group and gave him a offer to be reborn. Vanacure knew he was badly wounded and said yes before he passed out. The next thing he remembers is waking up in a wierd room surrounded by scientist. That is where his life as a cyborg began. Vanacure excelled at close range combat with bladed weapons like helberds and swords. He was just another test subject in the eyes of the federation and as soon as the next model was made Vanacure was sintenced to minor missions like acting a guard dog on a colony ship.
