This is an interesting team.

A clone biologist.
A minor cyborg scientist.
Medic.
Fisherman and outdoorsman.

Prospector outdoorsman, thank you very much.

Also, finally finished my character sheet. Not much to look at, we need someone who can explore and survive in the harsh enviroment.

I can probably do survival - basic training and all that - but exploration and evaluation of resources would definitely be beyond Sean.

Well, your background does look quite survival-oriented. However, I did warn you guys about science - I hope you know your geology/genetics/engineering magics.

Also, I don't want to be a spoilsport, but if your character is fourteen, he has to come from a place where it is the age of majority, so he would be legally allowed to sign in. Your options are basically most of the African Commonwealth, select southern bits of the Pan-American Alliance, some of the Arab states, and the People's Republic of China (Do excuse me if that is inconsistent with the current picture - my sociology magics aren't very strong either).

That's what Wikipedia is for, isn't it?

Ayup. Also wiki-walks.

Pan-America it is, then! I'll have my background soon, I'm just really busy at this time.

[Patrick Hunt]

I know enough to make it workable. My first project is some form of construction droid to handle the manual labor. Followed by building a wall and designing an automated sentry gun.

[Dwarmin]

My first project will be genetic experiment to make super-soldiers who don't go crazy and kill their teammates.

[Patrick Hunt]

Know what's awesome for that? Robots. You can have your mutants I'm going droideka. Rolling balks of death dealing awesome.

[Dwarmin]

My clones will beat your droids any day.

[Patrick Hunt]

Wanna bet? Boxing match clone vs droid.

Sex:Male
Age:29
Occupation:Xenosurvivalist
Background: Alex was a young boy when he joined MIT as a xenobiologist, but he had trouble, skipped classes, was rude to professors, and simply didn't like school. He only got in becauses of who his father was. After he dropped out, he decided to become a survivalist and became involved with the colonization effort, first on Titan and Euoropa, then Io, then here. He has a wide range of skills including identifying plants, gathering food, basic construction and crafting, and basic mining.

Mmm... a problem. While there may or may not be mining outposts on Europa and Io, there wouldn't be any permanent colonies - the crews would rotate, because these worlds do not support life in general. The Boreas colonists, however, will never return to Earth. Stasis fluid is very expensive and terribly difficult to manufacture, and there's no way the Boreans would be getting the tech until the second wave, which will be in another seventy years after you build a QE transmitter and report success.
The colonization of Boreas is the first such effort that humanity undertakes - that is a key point.
I am imagining this whole thing as hard or at least hard-ish sci-fi in the vein of Lem's Pirx stories and Soviet fiction, like Yefremov's better works (I dunno if anybody outside of the former USSR reads that), or the Strugatsky brothers' more serious books. So, space travel's kind of a big deal.
Also, xenobiology is the science of creating artificial biological systems, isn't it?

[Patrick Hunt]

Xenobiology kinda covers everything alien in most games for simplicity.
