Are you a fan of Ridley Scott's Alien?

So are you a fan of Ridley Scott's Alien or James Cameron's Aliens?

Then I humbly ask that you check out this RP

What's it about?

Aside from the obvious, this RP will focus on a fictional world called LV-339, Eos. This planet has much of the Earth's gaseous makeup and is safe for human habitation without the use of terraforming. The minor differences between the two planets is that Eos has a slightly higher oxygen content, slightly lower nitrogen content, and a healthy mixture of the same gases found in Earth's atmosphere on slightly varying levels. The water to land ratio is roughly 74% to 26%, and the land masses that cover the planet are primarily forested or marshland. Perfect habitat for our beloved Xenomorphs.

There are three phases to this RP and each one carries a different line-up of characters and goals.

Phase One is all about the research team and it's investigation of a crash site for an unknown vessel outside the boundaries of the Colony that has been established on Eos's northernmost continent. This vessel was detected by accident late at night on February 12th, 2087, and the transmission of this incident reached the ears of the Weyland-Yutani Corporations headquarters later that year in November. A research team was dispatched to investigate and document what had happened, as well as collect data on the planet outside the Colony's boundaries due to their limitations of supplies and proper equipment. What will this research team discover? I think you can very well guess what's coming... Oh, and one more thing: three research team members are going to die so be prepared for that.

Phase Two is all about the Marines from the beginning of their departure to the planet straight through to the all out war against our favorite black, serpentine foes. Heavy duty armor and equipment is at your disposal for dealing with these foes... However there is one thing I should mention. This RP is treating this encounter as if it's the first, and no OOC knowledge of the Xenomorphs is going to be tolerated from characters IC. If you know a lot about the Xenomorph in real life, keep it to yourself and in the OOC because your characters IC will never have seen or heard about them. The Marines won't know how to deal with them until it's too late, and whether we like it or not there are going to be two Marine deaths before this is done and they evacuate the planet.

Phase Three focuses on the five remaining characters (plus mine), and focuses on a new mission given to the Marines to return to the surface of Eos nine years after the initial encounter when the Aliens have taken over the entire planet's surface. There have been reports of a special Hive that is larger and houses more powerful versions of the creatures, and Weyland-Yutani wants the one running things to be captured alive and brought in for study. You can imagine how well this will sit with the Marines, being few in number and now carrying knowledge about the creatures and how they operate. Never the less, there is nothing we can do for we are thrown back to the wolves and all Hell breaks loose once again as we attempt to survive and escape the coming onslaught.

Wait, what? Two sets of characters?!

Yes, everyone who joins is required to portray two characters.

(If you'd like to squish them both into a single profile, that can be arranged but it might be a bit tricky)

Your first character is one of the research team members, and your specific field can be negotiated to change from what I have listed if you wish for a different field of study. The second character is one of the Marines, and again you can negotiate rank and profession with me before submitting your profile if you wish. The Character List I have created is just to be taken as a guideline, and there is no reason you should feel limited to what I have offered in it. If you know you can play a specific kind of Marine that I have not listed, then let me know and it's yours.

The two characters that you create will be siblings who are a part of a special program instituted by the Weyland-Yutani Corporation for underprivileged children and families. In exchange for either military service or research aid, you are granted top of the line salary and special opportunities for quick advancement so that when your services come to an end you are ready to begin life on your own without outside aid from the company.

That's about it! I'll see you inside!
