Survival what? Why should I care? Just open rp? Aren't you that weird lady that writes all that porn?
In due time, kids. But first, let me explain the idea here. Some of you may have already heard me brainstorm this idea, but I'm tweaking it all to keep it fresh.
Essentially, this'll be a thread detailing the surviving employees after an accident in a research facility. (Those darn mad scientists!) causes everyone to black out. As you, the players awaken, you'll find the situation is much worse than it originally seems.
How I'm handling it is kind of more akin to a tabletop game. Make too many slipups, go left three times, or turn out the lights when Grues are around, and I can and will kill you. Not to say I'm out for your characters, I'm not, but part of survival is the threat of death. Obviously I'm not a fan of instadeath traps. I'll give you a couple strikes and leave you going, if hobbled a bit. But I want you to consider what your characters would do to live in a dangerous situation. Of course good story telling may make me more forgiving of unintelligent moves by dumber characters.
So here's the deal. My little corner of the universe, Malaise, is in Nepleslian space, so that means most races are welcome barring things like Nekos. Everyone is essentially entry level employees of some sort. Maybe a shift manager, but no one that gets to see the real work that's being done in the science station. You're the help. Unfortunately for everyone else, the help is mostly what makes it through the initial chaos. What I want of you, the players, is a short little character submission. This can be anything from security, to mechanics, to techs, to just about anything a normal land based station would need to function. If you want to make Jim the Janitor, or Barbara the Gyrating Gyros lunch lady in the facility, go right ahead.
Here's what I need specifically, if you're interested. No need to fill out a whole character app, just this little bit here:
Name:
Gender:
Race:
Occupation:
Personal effect: This means a handy little thing this person might have on them. You all start out off duty. Not on your shift so no security guard is going to have their rifle on them, and the mechanics aren't going to be carrying their toolkit to their bunk.
(Optional) Short bio/appearance/whatever fluff you want
If you have any questions on the setting, which I'll describe in detail in the main thread, or anything else about how this is going to work, please ask!
