1. Prologue_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
In a distant future, the universe has plummeted into chaos. Stuck in galactic wars between it's inhabitants for power, resources, ancient artifacts or maybe for the simple fun of waging a war.
The human race is still young in galactic years, but it's already threatened with extinction as they battle hard for their survival. But as we knows humans, we know that they are a very resourceful race. Ready to grasp anything that can help them in the time of need.
Such an opportunity arrived with the discovery of a ancient artifact from the old universe at planet far away from Earth at the edge of human space. Tio Volatis, a planet encased in ice they say, Where the winter is all year round and survival is near impossible. On it, a highly sophisticated research base. Specialized in genetic and bio-engineering science. Once the planet bloomed in flora & fauna, but those times are long gone. As the nearby star, collapsed into a small white dwarf. Cooling down any nearby planets, putting them into a slow timeless slumber awaiting the end of the universe.
The researchers of Tio Volatis have been living in isolation for a couple of months since they lost communications with a nearby planet. While communications have stopped, the research hasn't. With the uncovering of this Pre-dated artifact, they have uncovered alien DNA. The most surprising this is that it's universal DNA, meaning that it could possibly be the DNA of the first sophisticated lifeforms in the Universe and all life originates from their remnants.
With these small remains they tried to reverse bio engineer those ancient lifeforms, with no avail. Then they mixed it with human DNA specimens and... it succeeded. 6 Proto humans have been created from the DNA of 6 random individuals and the DNA of the Proto aliens. These proto humans have enhanced senses and are able to use ancient artifacts, something which no race was able to do.. until now.
Will these humans be the saviors of the human race? Or bring it down? Those are questions i cannot answer, as it is not my story to be told. It is their to be written.

You can find the whole rule set in the
Discussion Thread3.Character Creation_____________________________________________________________________________________________________
I've got my own small take on character creation, at this moment you cannot fully customize your character. This will be integrated in the following couple of turns in a dynamic story. However, you claim a spot by doing the following:
Name: No explanation
Age: Between 18 and 50. Not any younger or older, no real reason but to keep it slightly realistic.
Skin color: Keep within realism, so things like African, Caucasian, Asian, whatever.
Facial characteristics: Things like hair length, hair color (Strange hair colors allowed, E.G: white,red, blue,green), eye color ( Maybe 2 different eye colors), mustaches. I unfortunately cannot allow any scars or other strange body characteristics, as it interferes with the story.
The more information you provide, the better i can write. You can use pictures as well, but please put them in spoilers.
Bio: Any bio you write will be of dead people, which the clone or proto human will remember as the story advances.
The more information you provide, the better i can write.
Participation number: I taught this up to give everyone a equal chance of joining the RTD, because i consider first come, first get lame. Since not everyone lives in the same timezone or lives 24/7 on the Internet.
Basically, you claim a number between
0 and 20. When there are enough places filled (6+), i will start rolling on random.org . Depending on which number is generated, a player is let in until the 6 player limit is filled. If there are more than 20 entries ( Which i don't think will happen), i will increase the number. If there are less, i will decrease it until I'm left with the number of applications.
A example could be...
Name: Bob
Age: 24
Skin color: Caucasian
Facial characteristics Average looking guy, short dark brown hair, green/blue eyes, butt chin.
Bio:Blablabla, gaint space whale killer and conqueror of earth.
Participation number: 15
Note: Every character is a human.

Take your time when deciding on a action, it may have a lot of impact on what will happen.
No promises on turns, like any GM. I will try to make them as often as possible.
Once every while i will, look at the applications and accept/decline them. Of course, you'll be able to improve them to enter again. I will do this because i want some good story based roleplaying, not some random trolls which will try to fuck up the RTD or some RTD passerbyes which are like "Oh, an rtd. Il quickly sign up and get a a spot just so i can play." Without putting any real thought into their character story and/or creation.
