Seph and myself have come up with a classic RP. we're looking for 5 players including us to take part in a survial horror adventure.

the story will begin when the crew of a Kirisuban Cherry Blossom warp shuttle picks up a transponder signal on an unexplored world.

Needless to say things won't be easy for them :D

A crashed ship will be found and the experimental subjects will have escaped into the jungle.

Now who is up for a good ole survival RP?

Hmm, sounds interesting. Only problem is how I'm going to get from my current Milky Way Galaxy foothold planet to this one.

Would it be possible to have someone either bring some of my 'guys' to the planet in their ship in one form or another, or are already hosts?
Kirisubo
07-03-2006, 08:16
the premise is that this will be an unknown planet which the Kirisubans find my homing in on the crashed ships transponder.

a small team from each ship should work best as i'd assume they've follow the ships radio signals for a variety of reasons but mostly to rescue the crew or to salvage the ship.

a little background on your ship, size of team, their motivations and the leader would be helpful in tailoring the RP.

Uh, here's a little background info...

About the ship.

Name: Omnipotent Redwood
Length: 15.3 metres
Crew: Pilot+Co-pilot
Troop Capacity: 4 (5 in a pinch)
Armament: 2 Forward facing Plasma cannons
Special abilities: Cloaking, Drop pod deploment

This vehicle is a standard Covenant Scout/Infiltration craft. It looks like the bastard child of a Covenant Seraph and Phantom. It was used by the Covenant typically for bringing the extremely well trained strike team of four behind enemy lines. It was found by the Panda-men in a wrecked Covenant assault carrier, and adapted for their purposes. It contains four Orbital drop pods and various weaponry and equipment.

About the team.

Name: Four hundred and twenty two thousand.
Code name: Oak
Height: 6' 6"
Role: Group leader
Race: Panda-man (http://www.aapn.org/images2/panda.jpg)
Personality: Oak is an inexperienced leader, he is brutal and militaristic. He doesn't exactly care for his team, but he values their lives. He assesses the situation, asks questions, shoots later, asks some more questions.
Motives: Oak is following standard procedure, they must investigate such distress signals to see if Pandamic intel would value any recovered data or tech, and, if there's time, look for and interrogate survivors.
Weapons and equipment: Oak carries a Covenant Plasma rifle, pistol, and energy sword, along with four plasma grenades. He wears Covenant elite armour that has been tailored to a Panda-man, it has the shielding and active camo used by Covenant SpecOps.

Name:Four hundred twenty two thousand and one
Code name: Redwood
Height: 6' 6"
Role: Grunt
Race: Panda-man (http://www.aapn.org/images2/panda.jpg)
Personality: Loyal and subservient to Oak. He has learned how to deal with fear, and holds his tongue.
Motives: He does what he is told.
Weapons: Exactly the same as Oak.

Name:Four hundred twenty two thousand and two
Code name: Ash
Height: 6' 6"
Role: Grunt
Race: Panda-man (http://www.aapn.org/images2/panda.jpg)
Personality: Pretty much the same as Redwood.
Motives: He does what he is told.
Weapons: Exactly the same as Oak.

Name: Four hundred twenty two thousand and three
Code name: Cedar
Height: 6' 6"
Role: Sniper/ Scout
Race: Panda-man (http://www.aapn.org/images2/panda.jpg)
Personality: Pretty much the same as Ash.
Motives: He does what he is told.
Weapons: He carries the Covenant sniper weapon, The Beam Rifle. He relies on his plasma pistol and energy sword for closer encounters, he also carries four plasma grenades.

(Hey Xenomorph hive, if you want a way to get to the planet I'm more than willing to have it so these guys had previously visited an alien infected planet or space station. They'd be unknowingly be ferrying around a facehugger or superfacehugger, if this idea should take your fancy, and if we both get accepted.)

((Ah well, here's a bit of info on my ship and crew. Hope you don't mind my stealing your scheme of it all))

Ship Name: Mamba Red
Ship Model: Voot Runner
Length: 18.7 meters
Breadth: 6.4 meters
Crew: 1 Pilot
Troop Capacity: 6
Armament:
- 2 Nose-Mounted Light Pulse Cannons
- 4 Side/Rear-Mounted Light Pulse Cannons
Systems: Cloaking, Form Alteration, 2 Decoys, 1 Spittle Runner

Voot Runners are rarely seen, even in the Armada; their small size has limited their use, but they've been deemed too large to be fighters. As such, only about 1,000 of these vessels currently exist, with only eight-hundred of them being put to service.


Name: Atzan
Height: 4' 5"
Role: Squad Leader
Race: Irken (http://thescarymonkeyshow.com/images/irken/skoo.gif)

Weapons/Equipment: Cloaking Suit

Sounds interesting.

Though, currently I only have one planet in the Milky Way Galaxy, here (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=471482), we can still use Fluid Time.

If you don't want your guys to be hosts, you could still have found an Egg or two and have it/them in storage.

Ok, here's my ship and 4-man crew...

Ship Name: Vagrant Runner
Ship Class: Zephyr-Class Gunship
Length: 28m
Crew: 2-6
Troop Capacity: 10 maximum
Armament: 2 forward Laser-bolt cannons, 2 Ion rocket launchers containing 6 rockets each, 2 rear Laser-bolt cannons, 2 Laser-pulse beam turrets
Countermeasure Systems: Quadruple heat-flare launchers
Shield Systems: Ion-Negative Ray-Particle Shields, two projectors
Hull: Quantanium-reinforced durasteel

Zephyrs are the baseline gunship and large attack craft of the Dominion forces, supplemented by Typhoon Assault Shuttles. Gunships are more heavily armed, and can be deployed for longer durations, but do not have the large cargo capacity of the larger Typhoons. For their size, zephyrs are incredibly well-armed, though their hull and shield systmes leave a little to be desired. Speed and manueverability are the real defenses of the gunship, supplemented by the heat-flares. They are equipped with loading ramps for squad-sized groups of soldiers to make quick disembarkments on the battlefield. Zephyrs are not good for boarding actions or infiltration, however, where the Typhoons take precedence, though they can do so in a pinch. Their primary role is in atmospheric GAR and serving as space weapons platforms for heavy strikes on fighter screens and capital ships.


Name: Chad Johnson
Nickname: "Sarge"
Role: Squad Leader
Height: 6'8"
Race: Human
Specialty: Leadership
Standard Weapons: DC-22 Enhanced Assault Rifle, DC-19 Holstered Pistol, Energy Bayonet, 4 Fragmentation grenades
Armor: Phrik Environmental/Deflection Full-Body Suit and Helmet
Personality: Sarge is the cool and collected leader of the group, never cracking under pressure. He is one of the guys, and makes no effort to hide his emotions when not under fire, but when the enemy is in range, Sarge is the one to have at your side, the man who never sweats a bead and acts as well as he possible can. Sarge wields a newer DC-22 Assault Rifle, with all the latest in deadly technology the Dominion has to offer.

Name: David Boston
Nickname: "Blast"
Role: Squad Explosives and Heavy Weapons Specialist
Height: 6'3"
Race: Human
Specialty: Heavy Weapons and Explosives
Standard Weapons: DC-21 Interchangable Assault Rifle/Anti-Armor Attachment, Energy Bayonet, 6 Seismic Grenades, Thorium Timed/Proximity Charges
Armor: Phrik Environmental/Deflection Full-Body Suit and Helmet
Personality: Blast is the unemotional one of the group, generally sticking away from the lighter of the conversation of the other members, and only joining in when tactics or strategy is involved. He is the most tactically sound of the squad and can exectute any tactic to perfection. Blast has a photographic memory, and can remember nearly everything he is seen or told. He is critical of the other two suboordinates, but will always volunteer for a mission, and is totally loyal to Sarge. He carries a moddable DC-21 assault rifle, interchangable with an anti-armor attachment capable of firing explosives, Thorium charges for high demolition work, and Seismic grenades for extreme cases requiring explosives against large groups of enemies.

Name: Lee Evans
Nickname: "Scope"
Role: Squad Sniper and Precision Expert
Height: 6'7"
Race: Human
Specialty: Sniping and Fire Suppression
Standard Weapons: DC-21 Interchangable Assault Rifle/Sinper Attachment, Energy Bayonet, 6 Sonic Grenades, DC-19 Holstered Pistol
Armor: Phrik Environmental/Deflection Full-Body Suit and Helmet
Personality: Scope is the cheerful and joking member of the group. Always the optomist, Scope believes the squad is ready to take on any force, any size. He quarrels much with the bland Blast, but frequently chats with Sarge and Brute, often keeping kill scores with the latter. He is loyal to the utmost, but will often find creative innovations to solve problems, and looks on the outside instead of "By the Book." He carries a DC-21 moddable Assault Rifle with a powerful sniping attachment, and uses his pistol and sonic grenades if the enemy can close inside his sniper rifle.

Name: Wayne Chrebet
Nickname: "Brute"
Role: Squad Commando and Melee Warrior
Height: 6'5"
Race: Human
Specialty: Close-Quarters Combat and Stealth Operations
Standard Weapons: DC-22 Enhanced Assault Rifle, Energy Bayonet, Energy Arm Saber, 6 Concussion Grenades, DC-19 Silenced Pistol
Armor: Phrik Environmental/Deflection Full-Body Suit and Helmet, Modified with heat and sensor dampeners and camoflauge patterns
Personality: Brute is a mix of Scope and Blast, with humor and wit but still keeping his head out of the clouds. Brute is frequently labled as savage by the other squad members for his bloodthirsty attitude and desire to kill opponents. He is excellent is operating silent and behind enemy lines, and uses his energy blades as his favorite weapons. He is equipped with the same DC-22 enhanced rifle as Sarge, two energy blades to quickly move in amidst tight quarters, concussion grenades to stun opponents, and a DC-19 silenced pistol to quickly exterminate opponents. His body suit his been enhanced as well with heat and sensor dampeners to conceal his position, and camoflauge patterns to conceal his signature amidst natural backrounds.


The crew, sent out to hunt down a pirate captain, picked up the signal eminating from the planet, believed it to be the pirates, and followed it. That's the basic reason on why they're here.

these are the kirisubans involved in the RP.

they're a 4 man scientific team (all young women) that picked up the transponder while looking for possible colony worlds. Its standard practice for a scientific team to do a preliminary survey before a full ship is sent in.

Setting out from their mothership (the Kagemon) their warp shuttle (the Tsubaki) located this world by following the homing beacon.

Ship class : Sakura (cherry blossom) class warp shuttle. max speed warp 5. maximum crew complement of 6 people.

its unarmed and looks a lot like a BSG Raptor.

This particular Sakura has been outfitted as a mobile science lab hence only 4 crew on this trip.

they have shields and a very tough hull that could deflect small arms fire for a limited period.

the crew

Lt Alyssa Toda, an officer with a background in the sciences. carries a plasma pistol and scientific scanner

Ensign Mariko Akechi; security guard. she has a rapid fire plasma rifle and a standard issue long blade (think short sword).

Ensign Fujiko Muira; the pilot of the Tsubaki. She carries a plasma pistol.

Nurse Asa Kodomo; med tech for this mission. has a plasma pistol,a well stocked first aid kit and a medical scanner.

We could always say you were actually 'hired' by one of my Empress's (or a higher Caste) to transport them in exchange for not being turned into hosts. Pretty much the same deal I'm going to IC'ly offer Godular and Parlim in my intro thread (and any other nation I encounter with ships (provide transport, or be turned into hosts. Lol, quite simple)). Though, one will contain, a custom Facehugger that I'm working on based on the Super Facehugger to 'implant' Empress Chestburster's into hosts.

This way, instead of having your character's die early because of the Chestbursters, you can also participate and have a possible ally early on.

I don't know about that...I doubt these guys would really respond well to threats...

An idea strikes me.

These guys could have previously found an unconscious person in a feild of dead humans on your planet. They take the survivor aboard their ship, unbeknownst to them that an empress has been implanted in the him/her, and when they get to the wreck, the Chestburster escapes, matures, and begins making Drones and Runners and other strains out of the native wildlife.

Ehh, my full primary IC deal is basically "You transport Xenomorphs to planet's containing your enemies, and we'll use them as hosts instead of you."

As for your plan, it sounds good. So, we can use it.

It will take a couple days for the Empress's Egg Sac to grow though. And I've altered it, to make it so that, when a being has a Chestburster inside, its the Chestburster that is in control of the body (Invasion Of The Body Snatchers style) and can burst out any time it wants once fully matured.

Now, we just got to wait till we see who gets in this RP and who doesn't.

3.) That is not a valid reason to exclude me. Having my guys and Seph's, would not only make it more challenging for everyone, but more fun.
