I' have to push this one out before I overthink myself out of this. This game will probably be short one, unless players want to continue after the goal is reached. There will be some secret activity and scheming. One major thing is figuring out if I have what it takes to run a game. Let's see if this one can fly!
So, mankind have found another Earth-like planet. Initial scan revealed that it is very much like Earth in many aspects; athmosphere, gravity, plate tectonics, ocean/land division are all same or close enough. It's brimming with life. No spacefaring civilizations was found, no radio signals and no obvious tracks of intelligent design visible from space.
Natural reaction was to send bunch of scientists to figure out if it will suit for human life. Geologists for mapping geography and finding valuable mineral deposits. Meteorologists for studying weather patterns on the planet and assisting other groups with weather forecasts. Biologists for studying local flora and fauna. Doctors in case of new infectious disease. Engineers for building things once good location is found. Military for protection.
You, players, are for most part biologists. Your mobile base has just departed from the mothership, and it contains all possible equipment you would need in your job.
Only readers and players who are permitted to read secrets can read this spoiler.
- Biologists. One should be leader of this research team.
- Don't worry if biology isn't your forte. Science is abstracted for most part and it plays rather minor role anyways.
- Doctors.
- You will have very advanced tools in your disposal, capable of healing all kinds wounds and known diseases. In addition you'll have tools to research and produce new vaccines.
- Security.
- Your task is to keep biologists safe from hostile fauna, hunt and trap animals for them to study, and solve all problems that might cause security issues. Such as attempts to create Rapture. As a bonus you can call in orbital bombardment if needed. Not likely, but you know, just for kicks.
Current crew:
Biologists:
Name: György Géza
Description: György come is a Magyar from Hungary. He spent most of his life researching how various bacteria evolve in a contained enviroment. He is a medium height, thin man with short dark hair and thick eyebrows. He is clean shaven, and wears protective eyewear even if unnecessary. He was chosen for this mission because of his expertise in the subject of microbes and other less advanced organisms. He volunteered merrily when he heard about the mission, mostly because he truly wants fame and to become a living (or dead) legend.
Name: Alex Raman.
Description:Even as a child, Alex's main focuses were on his studies. He spent most of his time in solitary as he grew. He went to Stanford university from a scholarship. He saw the chance to go to another planet for studies, and hopped on board.
Name: Guni Debres (Female)
Description: Guni has always wanted to go to another world. Space is awesome and aliens are awesome. Her favorite creatures are fish which she finds fascinating. Contrary to rumor she has no problem eating them, taste is in fact one thing she always attempts to note when studying a creature, whether herself or by blind proxy (a fact which some of her peers loathe her for).
Name: Dave D. Davidson
Description: Dave grew up in a wealthy family that owned an asteroid mining company. Throughout the years he saw many miners with both cybernetic and biological prosthetic limbs. He was always fascinated with replacing body parts. He was chosen to come here as initial probes showed some Mega fauna with incredibly different features despite having enough similarities that they appear to be the same species and he came to study potential applications in cybernetic and biological enhancements.
Security:
Name: Cromwell Jackson
Description: A tall, lanky man. He joined on due to the fact that he has practically no useful skills, but was trained with the use of weapons upon signing on. He's aware of the inherent danger, and the implication that he's expendable, but he tries not to let that get to head, and focuses on the job at hand.
Name: Mark Redtail
Description: Mark was selected to help look out at this outpost due to his hunting and outdoorsmanship experience as well as his lack of ambision to prevent power struggles(our bosses watch movies too). He is looking foward to learning about this strange new worlds plants and animals. Being Australian he has a healthy respect for the wild.
Name: Adam Tom
Description:He is slightly above average in height and intelligence, has brown hair and green eyes.He came with the expedition because he got bored of studying (read:shooting dead then poking it with a stick) lifeforms on Earth.
Doctors:
Name: Jonathan Pendle
Description: Slightly below average height, wiry build, jet black hair. Clean shaven. Slightly longer hair than is common for men, but not massively so. Wears simple glasses. Often nervous, he tends to be a little bit of a coward in the face of direct danger. Though he's trained as a doctor, he's more interested in any possible anthropology and archaeology that he could try to conduct. Ran a small private practice for a few years, before eventually shutting down due to lack of business. Tends to be reserved and quiet, but when he's under pressure he tends to take command of things.
Name: Andrew Helios
Description: A brilliant doctor that wants to create cures for new diseases from the plants discovered on this new planet and stop people from acting like typical humans and destroying this planets ecosystem.
