STORYTIME!


The year 2533. Humans have conquered all hospitable planets in the Milky Way, and sets its sights on the next nearest place to expand; The Milky Way's closest neighbor... Andromeda. Only 2.7 million light-years away, The humans prepare for the trip. After packing twelve million people into a ship the size of Earth, they set off for the next frontier.


The year 2,330,249. Approximately halfway between the Milky Way and Andromeda... When the ship crashes. Panic is widespread, as it's supposedly impossible to crash on nothing. Is there some sort of barrier keeping them out of Andromeda? No... Something even stranger. A massive planet, about twice the size of Jupiter, is holding the ship up. With a conveniently placed tiny star and moon keeping balance here on this impossible planet, the humans go out... To discover that the world is almost identical to earth. Just several times larger... And a lot less evolved. In fact, the only life aside from plant matter they can find, are these funny little blobs of apparently living matter. They feed, they grow, they reproduce, they change... They're alive. But scientists are baffled as to what they do for the planet's ecosystem.


The year 2,330,259. The scientists have found out what the blobs are for; they absorb any sort of vibrations, the slightest change in the air, even radio frequencies. Hell, even brain-waves. And they use those to evolve. Well, after experimenting, they find that the blobs have been changing rapidly ever since humans got there... In fact, they're no longer little amorphous blobs of flesh. Now, they're living, breathing, monsters. Sure, they hide in the shadows and darkness... But human fear has made them dependent on the food source, and now they'll continue feeding.


Not to mention the fact that a bunch of humans abandoned, running off and making settlements all around. Learning to either live in harmony with the creatures, or going insane and cutting themselves off from them. Calling themselves Marauders, these humans make settlements wherever they can, and drive around taking what they can from the crash sites. Considering the size of the ship, there's a lot of sites.


Hopelessly outnumbered by an enemy that can change at whim to whatever you fear the most, humans still in the city begin a military campaign against the creatures. Even through gene splicing and experimenting, trying to make an army of halfbreeds to give the things a taste of their own medicine. But what is fear itself afraid of?

RULES.


1. There is no way off of this planet. The creatures inhabit the entire surface, the human's only safe place is the ship, which has been converted into a very large city. But even in the city, things aren't as they seem...



2. You have fears. Whatever they are, the creatures will take advantage of that. And you can't fool the creatures... They're in your head. They know you better than you know themselves... And if you don't feed them through fear, you'll feed them through flesh instead.


3. No God-modding or auto-hitting. You get one warning, then you're out. Seriously.


4. PM all profiles to Epic Irony.


5. Yeah, humans have advanced weaponry in the future. Go ahead and get creative; but don't go overboard. You have at max 2 weapons, and they are not all powerful. You can't have a rifle that does EVERYTHING, or a pistol that can kill ANYTHING, okay? Try and be realistic.


6. I'm in charge in this RP, what I say goes. And right now, I'm saying two things in one rule: Guild rules and Gaia ToS apply, and POTATOES.

RP Name: Thea
Age: 20
Species: Human
Worst Fear: Being abandoned
Bio: Thea doesn't remember the crash much, just panic and confusion. Her parents had chosen not to accompany her on the trip, for they believed the trip would be what they liked to call a 'suicide mission.' Though they had a strong belief that Andromeda didn't exist, they unwillingly said goodbye to their daughter, and watched as she left on her expedition, along with millions of others. When they reached the new planet, Thea spent her time tending to the wounded, as well as studying the other beings that inhabited their new planet. After about two years without any discoveries, she gave up on her research, and commited herself to eliminating the others instead.
Specialty: Thea has spent years learning to stay calm in stressful situations, which helped immensely during her time working as a nurse at the ER. She was required to work quickly and almost silently, to keep her badly wounded patients calm, which worked in her favor when mending those who had been attacked by Marauders.
Extra: She always keeps a silver dagger in her belt, and a few small, remote detonated bombs in her backpack.
Appearance: Thea

When she heard about the creatures she could really believe it at first, but when they got to her dad, she wouldn't go outside by herself.

Wouldn't even have remembered his name, if it weren't so clearly stamped into his dog-tags.
Specialty: Other than his overly calm persona, Seth spent many years training and is an amazing shot. This training also made him very perceptive, and hightened his reflexes. He also has blind luck making electronics work.

Sam was at the gate loading some crates into a Humvee for the expidition at a near by crash site. It was going to be big, the morning light was about to shine and he would get the okay to move out. Well he still needed his excort out of the city. Since the crash site was apart of the 'city', he was not allowed to touch a part of it with out an offical being there with him. "The last thing I need is a babysitter." he stated as he sat in the driver's seat. "I'm 18, i can take care of myself. I was always good on my deliveries in the past. Why do they need to do this now." Sam was just talking to himself mostly, not really caring what others heard. He put on a pair of goggles and leand back in his seat. "Now I wait" he stated as he watched the none moving gate that led to the out side world.

Robert hopped into the truck, grinning wide. "Alright, you ready to roll!?!" he asked, a little over-enthusiastically. "Today... Well, I wanted to hit the Mine, and maybe swing past Central on our way back... Sound good?" Grinning, he switched his laser rifle to stun. It was going to be a good day, indeed.

"Wait your the city official. Sweet!" He said starting the car, giving the signial to open the gates. As the gates open light pored from the other side and he ripped the car right out of there. "Its been a while, Robert." he stated while driving thorugh some smooth terrain. "You know my offer for you to join my Scavenger group permantly is still up. You sure you dont want to join?"
PostPosted: Tue Aug 17, 2010 6:13 pm


"I told you I'd think about it," Robert said, shrugging. "As soon as things settle down in Council, I'll join. You know, the whole Milburg scandal... Can you believe that idiot tried to take nuclear generators to those monsters? 'To set up a lab', he said..." He muttered, shaking his head. "And got caught, too. The things people will do these days," he finished, sighing. "Whole city council's in an uproar, and as founder I have to sit around like a robot and tell everyone what to do. You'd think if they got to council, they'd be able to handle problems on their own..."

"I bet if you left them out here stranded for a day like we were that one time, they would learn to agree to disagree on some things and get to the more important topics. I say shoot that guy and get it over with."
PostPosted: Tue Aug 17, 2010 6:24 pm


"You mean the time that thing jumped on your face? Or the time we flipped the truck?" Robert asked, chuckling. "I agree, Milburg's a p***k who deserves exile. But, I'm not the one making the final decision, unfortunately," he muttered, shrugging. "Anyway... Aren't we near that Nest?" He asked, looking out the window. "Any of your new team been through a Nest yet?" He chuckled.

"I only let one of my crew other than myself and you through a Nest. All the others are wet behind the ears." he said driving on. "And I am not out here for collecting experiments right now, remember, we have to go collect the metal work from the crash site." He quickly repield. "Buuut.... you are the boss right now so.." He said looking over grinning "If ya want to we can make an exception"
PostPosted: Tue Aug 17, 2010 6:44 pm


Robert glanced at his watch quickly. "We're about five minutes ahead of schedule... Time me, I'm going for a record." He grinned, flipping the switch on his rifle off of stun. "Ready?" He chuckled, aiming out the window as they pulled up.

"Arn't you glad I brought a hollow crate with us." He said. Sam was not sure if he was going to run into one of the dark creatures. It was not unheard of finding one at the crash site. "You got five....NOW!" he said looking at his watch.
PostPosted: Tue Aug 17, 2010 6:52 pm


"Gone," Robert said, grinning as he jumped out of the truck. He ran right into the nest, looking around. He knew there were plenty, all around... He just couldn't see them yet. They tended to be hard to notice until they tried to scare you...

SKSSSSSSS......

"Oh, s**t." He watched ahead as a giant snake began slithering out of the hole in front of him. "Jesus... I ******** hate these things..." He pulled out his gun, and fired three times at the damn thing. All three times hit, and it had three holes burnt halfway through the damn thing. He set it back to stun, and fired at it's eye, rolling out of the way of a lunge. A bolt of lightning-like energy shot out of the gun, nailing the snake monster in the eye... And it began writhing, it's skin popping off and it shrinking. When it was small enough, He grabbed it and ran back to the truck, away from all of the now-approaching snakes. Tossing it into the empty crate, he called, "What's my time?"

"Drum roll please" he started to drum on the dash "The all new time record of ... 59 seconds and 25 milaseconds. You beat the record by whole thirty seconds. Nice" He said as he backed up as quickly as possible when Robert got back in the car. "Now on to the crash site right?" He began driving away from that place as soon as possible. Because as Robert got back in, the things were starting to turn into fire. he steered the car on to its location.
