The Starfront - Humanity's last hope

The year is 2074.

The Earth will finally succumed to it's corruption.

In 48 hours, the Human race will be doomed; riots will run amok on Earth. Nearly every Government will be overthrown. Anarchists will release nuclear weapons upon almost all Government complexes' all over the world. Billions will died instantly. More will following the days to come. The diseases will mutate, the will become impervious to all medicine. Centuries of research and technology will be lost in an instant. Anything surviving that will have to deal with over a thousand years of nuclear fallout.

Even the Spokes - massive low lying satelites housing millions - will be shot down by STO (Surface to Orbit) artillery.

Humanity on Earth will not survive.



But not all hope is lost.

A scientific spacecraft designed to travel light years, the first of its kind, is being outfitted, put together and will be due to launch in just a few hours. This craft will travel over 450 light years into the Orion Spur, to investigate a planet.

The ultimate goal for this craft is to reach a planet found to have life, named:

Planet Anima Undir

5 lucky humans have been chosen to partake in this expedition.
They are skilled veterans of space exploration, but nothing has been attempted like this before.

Except one of the guys, hes just some Janitor paid 9 bucks a light year.

But the question is: how will they survive?

YOU will decide the story...

Rules/Explanation

- This is basically a sci-fi forum game survival in SPAAAAAAAAAACE...

- 5 people will take on the roles of these dudes. One will be a Janitor, fo' sho.

- Because it is a completely ficticious planet, I will be taking ideas and suggestions from the people who actually will read this. NOT the           survivors themselves, however.

- There will be a waiting list, but that is up for debate as some dudes can't just randomly appear there.

- Attempt at doing retarded things "I suddenly transform into Jesus" will result in your automatic death and your position will be passed to       the person next in the list.

- Interact with the other people, like, ask them things like you're actually talking to them.

- Stay in role, and mature themes are allowed to some extent.

- I will allow some degree of leniency... but people WILL be ripped into bloody pulps if you are not care... Scan before you plan!

Characters

Set out your Character Bios like this please:

- Expedition Leader - WorkerDrone
- Robotics Engineer - Aqizzar
- Psychologist / Social Scientist - Dwarmin
- Astrophysicist/Mathematician - mainaic
- Janitor - Jack_Bread

Undefined means that it can be any role... just as long they would be realistically on a scientific spacecraft.

Game Rules

Not much to put here...

Most things do not involve rolls, so have a 90% success rate. the other 10% is when I feel like being jackass, or its vital to the plot.

Battles... maybe not rolls, but still, quite a few things require rolls. The only modifiers to them are special statuses or items and traits, as there are no stats.

So... anyone up for this?

[Aqizzar]

NAME: Mar Osridian
ROLE: Robotics Engineer
GENDER: Cyborg Male
AGE/HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 47, Tall/Skinny
DESCRIPTION: Mar is a cold and distant man, more like the machines he builds and services than a paragon of human, and he see a mechanical existence as the proper and inevitable conclusion of all being.  Nonetheless, he likens his participation to that of a museum curator - while terribly un-human himself, Mar recognizes the strengths of the human spirit in a sort of artistic sense, not valuable in themselves but worth preserving for posterity.
FEATURES: Extensive cybernetic replacement of heart, many muscles, both eyes, and all four limbs, with many links into his cerebrum, although his brain itself is fully intact.  As a person, he is thin, gangly, and completely hairless, always with a severe expression on what's left of his face.


Yes, I am damn fast when I want to be.

[Jack_Bread]

Name: Jack Herring
Role: Janitor
Gender: Male
Age/Height/Weight: 22/Medium/Medium
Descriptions: Average Height and Weight. Jack likes working and keeping things organized. He prefers working inside. He needs soda to get through the working day.
Features/Attributes: Improvised Fighting(?) (likes to smack around a coat hanger with his mop), Good Footing (Used to slip around on puddles alot, now he knows how to stand his ground)

Spoiler: Jack (He looks like a girl!) (click to show/hide)

It came out horribly...

Traits

Resourceful Fighting - Large variety of wieldable weapons. (DF style!)

Sure Footing - Less likely to trigger movement based traps. Moves faster on unstable terrain. (Shifty sands, sloppy water)

Unsophisticated Whelp - Suffers in intelligence based encounters. Reduction in social encounters with older, sapient lifeforms.

[[INCOMING TRANSMISSION]]

Damnit, I gotta get a haircut. I'll be back in about... 40 mins and I will also upload the "encounter tree."

Basically it details the physical, social and intelligent encounter options...
Each encounter will have one of each "branch," including possibly one based on your traits/items/abilities and one based on the plot...

Sorry guys I'll fill you in when I get back. Check back in about... an hour.

At Aqizzar: Yes, it does quite a bit. This planet holds sapient lifeforms... and I do believe it holds some science behind this.

By the way, you guys will want to probably log what happens to your dudes. You may need to check back and refer to figure out what to next.. *wink*

AND we need some females people...

[Vanigo]

Okay, science question: How is there hope for humanity if there are exactly five living people in the universe? Is there a huge cryo-facility on the ship or something?

[mainiac]

Name: Sally L. DeFreeze
Role: GeneSplicer/Field Biologist
Gender: GeneSpliced Female
Age/Height/Weight: 25/Short/Thin
Descriptions:
A thin little thing.  She has aqua green skin which has multicolored patterns upon it like tatoos, except they slowly morph into different shapes and colors over the course of the day.  Jutting out from her bright blue hair is a pair of horns about 4 inches long.  She has a long, prehensile tail she usually keeps hidden.  Sal tends to quickly lose interest in most things but loves nature and is enthralled by her beloved splicing, obsessing over a modification or new species until it's done.  She tends to work odd hours.  She has an extensive collection of science fiction including holovids, 2-D recordings and written stories.
Features/Attributes: Sal didn't engineer herself a bunch of ugly muscles.  But she did splice herself a regime that left her with wicked good reflexes and immaculate poise.  She is "all natural" in that she has no implants.

[Luke_Prowler]

dang, too late

[Dwarmin]

Hmm, we don't need 2 biologists blah
I'll be a psychologist then.

[mainiac]

It is a mission to go investigate life, I don't think 2 biologists is overkill.  I figured they wouldn't be too similar if I made Sal more of a field worker and less of an academic.  But if you think two biologists is overkill, I can revise my character, since you had the idea first.

Name: Sally L. DeFreeze
Role: Astrophysicist/Mathematician
Gender: GeneSpliced Female
Age/Height/Weight: 25/Short/Thin
Descriptions:
A thin little thing.  Sal had extensive gene splicing done back on earth and dabbles with the stuff herself.  She has aqua green skin which has multicolored patterns upon it like tatoos, except they slowly morph into different shapes and colors over the course of the day.  Jutting out from her bright blue hair is a pair of horns about 4 inches long.  She has a long, prehensile tail she usually keeps hidden.  Sal tends to quickly lose interest in most things but loves the stars and can become enthralled by studying a strange new system.  She tends to work odd hours.  She has an extensive collection of science fiction including holovids, 2-D recordings and written stories.
Features/Attributes:  Sal didn't engineer herself a bunch of ugly muscles.  But she did splice herself a regime that left her with wicked good reflexes and immaculate poise.  She is "all natural" in that she has no implants.  She is a promising young scientific experimenter and can bring this mindset to situations beyond astrophysics.

Feathweight
Quick reflexes
Graceful

Hmm.. I recon there is not a place/role for a floating head representation of the complex spaceship AI? (shown only on the holographic screen ofcourse)
If there is, I call dibs on that. 
I'll make the char sheet (or whatever it is) if it's accepted.

[WorkerDrone]

I'd prefer someone witty would be the A.I if at all, thank you very much. I would like SOME intelligent, witty banter throughout the voyage.

Also, hope he gets back and adds everyone to their places, now that all the spots are taken up.
