OOC: The Host RP (Open RP, MT, Wait for Approval Before Beginning!)

The IC thread will be here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=13832496#post13832496).

*****

Quoted from: The Host (Stephanie Meyer) (http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/pdf/thehost_chapter4.pdf)

“Our world has been invaded by an unseen enemy. Humans become hosts for these invaders, their minds taken over while their bodies remain intact and continue their lives apparently unchanged. Most of humanity has succumbed.”

*****

This thread is going to be a roleplay based off of the world created by Stephanie Meyer in her latest novel, The Host.

In this not too distant time, Earth has been invaded. Aliens began implanting themselves into human bodies, assuming their lives and furthering Earth technology with advancement in medicines and peace. The only war is that between wild humans and the host species. The rebellion is here.

In the world Meyer created, aliens travel the universe and are implanted into bodies on many planets, some explained further in the book. They do not die unless their host bodies die with them inside, but this is prevented by removal of the aliens before the body passes. They study the species before mass implantation begins to learn how to care for their bodies, and it is not a moral concern as they claim to improve the human’s lives.

However, in the book, an alien (Wanderer, name eventually changed to Wanda in the novel) cannot gain control of her host’s mind, and eventually finds the group of wild humans this host was going to for protection. Eventually she shares the secret of removing hosts from bodies, with the trade of knowing that the doctor will return them (the sleeping aliens) to other worlds, and not kill them. Some may be allowed to stay if the human’s soul has left the body completely, however, as Wanda’s soul eventually stayed on Earth after falling in love with a human.

Further information of the book can be found on it’s wikipedia page. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Host_%28novel%29)

I want to see how we can take this in a NS point of view. We would be in and of one world, with people from different countries, all working together to solve the problem, and mostly fight to survive while hiding from the aliens. We would need to agree on one location for the rebel group. I suggest the USA, since it is in Arizona (Picacho Peak, to be exact) that the rebel group in the novel is hidden, using the desert caves and underwater streams below for survival in the former volcano.

I do not want characters from the story, since using them would not suit the purpose of the International Incidents thread here. However, situations portrayed in the book would be extremely appropriate. People who have a parasite inside fighting for control of their bodies, or parasites with a “conscience” who are fighting for humans, or aliens hunting humans are all acceptable kinds of characters, and many others would be fine.

*****

Limitations (to keep the integrity of this thread):

Technology:
All of the technology in this thread is to be modern technology. Period. The only exceptions are Medical, and that having to do with the transportation of the cryogenically sleeping aliens. As far as medical advances go, Alien hospitals have the technology to cure the ailments of humans, such as a fever, skin injuries, broken bones, etc. It is hard to explain and definitely better if you have read the book, but imagine having a hiking injury leaving you with a bashed in shoulder. They would spray disinfectant, heal, cool (if there was a fever), and then sprinkle on a powder to take away the scar.

Characterization:
As I have said before, copying of the characters in the book will not be much appreciated. Those who are rebel humans will exist in a similar caved “community” in the desert, but not in the exact same location.

The Rebellion:
This is meant to be a long process, and a lasting RP. Godmodding or simply capturing all the humans is not appreciated, just as all the humans taking the aliens and removing them from everyone is not good, since it will end the RP. Let’s make this fun, and try to keep the sides even!

The Hiding Place:
The rebels are hiding out in the caverns of an extinct volcano in the Arizona desert. There are many caves that have been converted into great rooms, a kitchen, bedrooms, and store rooms. There are holes hidden by rocks and shrubs that let in air and light, reflected by stolen mirrors throughout the cavern. There are underground streams, which are dangerous and deadly, but provide the ability for life to continue, the land providing them with safety.

Raids:
The rebel humans go on raids to the nearby cities and towns to glean what they can from the aliens to survive. Raids are extremely dangerous, but very necessary to the survival of the Rebels. Aliens tend to keep a patterned lifestyle, so the rebels can watch them long enough to learn when it is safe, and steal from homes.

The “Conscience:”
Aliens can develop what humans have begun to call the “conscience” when they either become sympathetic to the humans and help, or when they give their human host minimal control of their body.

*****

Vocabulary you may need to know:

Wild Humans: humans who have not been caught and implanted with an alien
Seeker: Alien implanted humans who seek out wild humans for implantation
Parasite: The alien inside of a human body
Host: a body that is meant for implantation
Cryogenic Sleep: The state the aliens are kept while not inside a host body
Identification: People can identify humans with aliens inside, because those who are host bodies to aliens have a silver metallic-looking ring between the iris and the color of the eye revealed in light. Alien infested humans also have a small light scar on the back of their necks from implantation.

*****

I am sure there is more I will add, but this is what I have for now. If you would like to join this RP, please fill out your character form and wait for the go-ahead so we can keep everything organized, and we can all stay on the same page.

Thanks!

Basic Info

Name: Redd Cizia
Sex:Male
Age: Around 50

Physical Description: He was once an athletic man, but he's lost some of it.
PIC HERE (http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk109/Noviantegg/Mob.jpg)

Eyes:White (birth defect)
Hair: White (no he's not an albino)
Build: 6' 1" about 200, strong though.
Distinguishing Marks: An old prison tattoo on his shoulder. And he's got white eyes, which is pretty rare :P

Background Information: He is the direct descendent of two (now dead) italian immigrants. They came to America and settled in New York City. Redd immediately became involved in the local crime families after discovering that he and mob boss Frank Costello shared hometowns.

Redd worked his way up the chain from peon to a relatively high position as one of Costello's advisors. He was well known for his brutality, even to the people he associated with.

He held that seat of power for a few years before, as is the way of the Italian Mob, an attempt was made on his life. The assassin encountered a friend leaving his apartment and, mistaking the friend for Redd, blew him to bits, thinking the job was done. Redd heard the gunshots, went down the stairs, and found his friend, mutilated by the bullets.

He fled to New Mexico, relying on it's openness. When the Invasion hit, he went into his basement, and hid in a shelter he'd designed in case the assassin ever found him. Afterwards, he packed up his old gun (http://lvillage.education.vic.gov.au/lv/dwps/hp.nsf/8f22e9637c74849a8025685f006a90bb/a420fdc6cb39bf29ca257288000a9e55/$FILE/800px-Desert-Eagle-chrome-p1030142.jpg) and his knives (http://www.selfdefenseproducts.com/new_knives/images/sz210609.jpg) put his ring (http://www.dallaspridgenjewelry.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000002/002skull_ring_gold_big.jpg) on, and fought his way through New Mexico to Arizona, where he found the extremely well hidden rebel base.

Build (height/weight):5'8" slightly tan, not fat, but not skinny, weighs about 170lbs.
Distinguishing Marks (N/A for Aliens): A Scar on the back of his neck exactly like the one aliens make

Background Information: Has been on the run for quite some time, no one believes that he isn't infected due to his inconvenient birthmark, even though there's no silver in his eye. He has avoided aliens so far. He's looking someone to believe him who can help him remove his scar.

Other Information: Somewhat paranoid due to others always being paranoid around him.

Note to Everyone:

Oi, also, please keep this realistic. Most rouge humans don't travel in the day, when silver eyes are seen easily in the sun. So grand entrances need to be saved for dark, if possible. If it's taking too long though, just come on in.
Sylvonia
18-07-2008, 05:32

Physical Description

Eyes: green
Hair: brunette
Build (height/weight): muscular (5'4"/ 90 lbs)
Distinguishing Marks (N/A for Aliens): freckles on her face and left arm, but not the right half of either

Background Information: she was raised by her grandmother after her parents died in a military accident. She's a skilled doctor specializing in intensive care medicine. Her grandmother was infected, but she escaped before she could be too and came to the colony with Ty.

Other Information: She's stronger than she looks and deadly accurate with a wrench. Emphasis on deadly.

But Ken, no vampires. This is fantasy, but it's got set limits. You can make a character with some abnormal traits as if expiramented on by the aliens, but vampires aren't included with this. Of course, Dans may say I'm in the wrong here, but I don't think I am.

He escaped Kenavt when it came under attack from the aliens, and heard of a community resisting. He set out for them... and has now found them.

Yes, Dans said that if she wasn't here I can approve. And if you're talking about entering with Elle, that's not ok. Dans did that for reasons I don't yet know and so you have two options. Already being one of the group or arriving. Upon arrival you will face the jury (currently Redd and Kathy as most of the rest are busy or out cold) or if you're a member (the easier route) you can just jump right in and be upset about Elle.

I thought it was a volcano... :( But everyone's outside anyway because of Elle. Or at least some people.
Talrania
24-07-2008, 23:20
I think they all went back into the cave after the gun fight. Oh, and my bad, you were kinda right, I guess it is an extinct volcano, and they're hidden in the cave in the rocks around it that leads to the inside of the volcano, I think.
kenavt
24-07-2008, 23:22
They didn't RP it. I dunno.
Talrania
24-07-2008, 23:30
I'm not in charge or anything, so I guess you'll have to ask Dans le Noir 2 or Sylvonia.
kenavt
24-07-2008, 23:34
OK. Oh well Ziolis responded.
Resqwandi
25-07-2008, 01:47
Ok. Maybe I'm just being way too picky, but I think the realism needs tweaking here and there. In the short fight scene, apparently, everyone is godly accurate. I don't think anyone in the whole story yet has military training, or enough to qualify this.
kenavt
25-07-2008, 01:50
I would have to agree with you. Although I didn't really read the fight scene, I browsed through it. And if everyone was hitting everyone else... that's pretty unrealistic.
East Laos
25-07-2008, 01:53
Well my char lead a revolution which succeded in the Dominican Republic. And before that he had 5 years of military expierience. So he's pretty damn accurate. And my char didn't hit all of his shots, Infact, he missed a bunch, but i didnt say that. I didnt even say wheater or not he killed anyone. I dont think anyway.
kenavt
25-07-2008, 01:56
"I told you to get up, if you don't in five seconds, I'll shoot!"

I thought I had at least implied that I had gotten up... oops.
Resqwandi
25-07-2008, 02:00
Ok. You're up. Just go along with Laos. Can Redd borrow the malibu? there's a bit of a situation...
kenavt
25-07-2008, 02:02
Sure, he stole it from a farmer host in Kansas.
kenavt
25-07-2008, 02:04
I have to go. Kevin will cooperate with everything you do. I'll be back tomorrow morning, maybe afternoon. Sorry for the briefness. Laos, you can take him over temporarily. But don't do what you did to that other prisoner guy. *shivers*
Talrania
25-07-2008, 03:03
Yeah, no thanks to you people. Now my char is crippled, beaten, and tied down. What the hell am I supposed to do? *sigh* At least he is a ridiculously fast healer, as I've been hinting to.
Resqwandi
25-07-2008, 05:41
Lol. I just hit you in the nuts. No big deal.
Sylvonia
25-07-2008, 07:05
Ya, but Kathy shot him full of drugs, Elle shot him, period, and Ty manhandled him to the med bay.
Resqwandi
25-07-2008, 16:50
I know, I'm just getting Redd into the clear. Not you lol
kenavt
25-07-2008, 18:16
I was wondering if I could skip being with Omari/East Laos, since I'd like to be at the base. Chasing Elle, when East Laos is around, isn't something I can't do well. Do you think I could RP getting out of his Escalade?
Sylvonia
25-07-2008, 18:29
I've not been following much, but did you get in for the purpose of following him or did you just get dragged along? If you got dragged along, RP getting out before he takes off. Of course, that only works if you haven't done anything in the Escelade already. Also, with Omari and EL following Redd and Redd following Ty, they're all stuck until Dans gets back because I need to know what to do and Ty's far in the lead of all of them.
kenavt
25-07-2008, 18:38
I only got in because I gave East Laos temporary control of my char.

"Shit, I wanna go and help them out." Omari looked at Kevin.
"Your coming with me. I'm following them to rescue her."
Omari went into the cave and got out an AK, five 100 round drums, five thirty round drums including the one in the gun. He then ran to his Escalade and turned it on. He signaled for Kevin to get into the back of the car. He knew that this wasn't the fastest, or the best car to be riding in. But it was the one he had so he began to speed away, with Kevin in the back.
Sylvonia
25-07-2008, 18:41
In that case, we need to wait for Dans. I would say that we could simply ignore him doing that since it was against your ultimate wishes, but at the same time, you did give him control of your character.
kenavt
25-07-2008, 18:45
Yes. Oh well. We'll see how this plays out. Dans will be wonderfully overwhelmed when he gets back... is he on vacation, or a period of inactivity-do you know?
Sylvonia
25-07-2008, 18:46
She is on vacation with no cell signal. She's camping with her fiance and should be back soon.
kenavt
25-07-2008, 18:57
Maybe it shouldn't matter, I'm leaving tomorrow for two weeks anyway.
Sylvonia
25-07-2008, 18:59
Oh wow. in that case, it probably doesn't matter so long as whoever controls your character doesn't kill him.
kenavt
25-07-2008, 19:08
This RP will probably be done by then. Who knows. You know what-do you want control of Kevin?
Dans le Noir 2
27-07-2008, 14:14
If I missed you, sorry!

Yeah, roleplay getting out, or I guess you can ignore him altogether. I have too much to catch up on.
Sylvonia
27-07-2008, 16:29
We'll just assume he's tagging along. Don't RP him until he gets back. If this is still going by the time he gets back, he can rejoin. How does that sound?
Dans le Noir 2
27-07-2008, 16:53
Works for me.

sorry. I am catching up.
Sylvonia
27-07-2008, 17:13
No problem.
Sylvonia
28-07-2008, 22:36
Ok, we gotta have a chat about technology.
Ziolis, they can't hear you, it does not appear that you used any form of communications device. Or maybe you didn't want them to hear, I can't tell.

Res, CB radios have been around forever for a reason. If Ty was just passing him, it would have come in VERY clear. CB radios have a range of many, many miles. Also, it wouldn't have been in the dash, it would be a stand alone device underneath the dash, but still visible to the driver.

Sorry if I sound mean, I'm just really picky about technology.
Resqwandi
29-07-2008, 01:54
:mad: blah blah blah lol

I'll just stick with it. Maybe. maybe I'll edit it.
Sylvonia
29-07-2008, 03:13
Well, for future reference anyway.
Resqwandi
29-07-2008, 18:44
Got it. But I'm not familiar with CB tech, so could a shorting wire affect anything at all?
Sylvonia
29-07-2008, 23:20
It would ruin the unit. Plain and simple. It wouldn't make it work less effectively, just break. If the short was to the speaker or the microphone, those just plain wouldn't work.
Sylvonia
03-08-2008, 03:40
EL, care to explain the sudden gun? I think I missed a reasoning for it.

And Res, watch the godmodding. Ty may still want to drive to check the area around the caves.
Resqwandi
03-08-2008, 03:58
Well you weren't really posting, so I took a liberty
Sylvonia
03-08-2008, 04:33
It's still godmodding and I don't appreciate it. Next time you want to take a liberty, make sure it doesn't go against the character's owner's plans. And if you thought the trip was long, say something. I had been posting and you said that right after I made a post.
Resqwandi
03-08-2008, 20:46
What I'm saying is not much was happening. we were just driving....and driving...and driving.
Sylvonia
03-08-2008, 23:16
So say that, it's better than forcing my character into doing something I didn't want him to do.
Resqwandi
04-08-2008, 06:54
*sigh* you're a pain to put up with sometimes you know
Sylvonia
05-08-2008, 05:01
I am most of the time, but it's simply because there's a lot of people that do things that irk me.
Talrania
05-08-2008, 15:04
He's right. You are a pain. But I can only guesstimate what could possibly irk you...
Resqwandi
05-08-2008, 15:39
Can I get a list of things that irk you?

Pwease?
Sylvonia
07-08-2008, 19:02
That would take days to type and by the time I finished it, Jolt would probably eat it sending me into a depressive spiral from which there is no recovery.
Resqwandi
07-08-2008, 23:38
As long as you avoided 12 o clock I think you'd be ok :P
Sylvonia
08-08-2008, 04:34
I don't get it...
Resqwandi
08-08-2008, 04:45
Try getting jolt to work at 12:01. Never. We've discussed this
Sylvonia
08-08-2008, 04:47
When did we discuss it? I have no troubles at 12:01. Or 1:01 cause that's 12:01 your time.
Talrania
08-08-2008, 04:50
Yeah, I agree with Syl. Yesterday it didn't work, but that was pretty much all day. I've had it cut out sometimes past 12 though, but not very often, and not recently.
Resqwandi
08-08-2008, 04:51
Dunno, couple weeks ago. Along with the discussion that Max should move NS to another, more reliable forum.
Sylvonia
08-08-2008, 04:52
Well I kinda missed the whole 12:01 part.
Talrania
08-08-2008, 04:54
Yeah, another forum would be nice.
Resqwandi
08-08-2008, 04:55
Ok, maybe an AIM chat room would be more suitable for this discussion -_- along with the one in DITW
Talrania
08-08-2008, 04:57
I don't think anything is suitable for this discussion....
Resqwandi
08-08-2008, 04:58
*sigh*
Sylvonia
08-08-2008, 04:58
Um no. Aim Chatrooms don't like Adium very much. And without people to make these move forward faster, the OOC thread is spam central.
Resqwandi
08-08-2008, 04:59
Well maybe someone should actually post in the IC parts of these threads :P
Talrania
08-08-2008, 05:03
Hey, who has the last post in the IC thread for this? I do. So there.
Resqwandi
08-08-2008, 05:04
By the way, Syl. You know where Dans is? Caught up in RL?
Sylvonia
08-08-2008, 05:05
I can't post cause I've got nothing to post to. And Dans won't reply, I don't know why.
Talrania
08-08-2008, 05:07
Fine, I'll start up a conversation.
Sylvonia
08-08-2008, 05:11
Ok! :)
Resqwandi
08-08-2008, 05:12
Damnit Tal and I had the same idea -_-
Sylvonia
08-08-2008, 05:16
lulz. Get used to it. Tal's a clever little bastard.
Talrania
08-08-2008, 05:17
Ha. :p
Resqwandi
08-08-2008, 05:19
Begone, demon
Talrania
08-08-2008, 05:20
....... you missed.
Resqwandi
08-08-2008, 05:23
I did?
Talrania
08-08-2008, 05:25
I'm still here, aren't I?
Sylvonia
08-08-2008, 05:26
*calls for my pastor* He'll be here shortly.

And Res, Kathy didn't do anything yet. The syringe is still unused in her hand.
Resqwandi
08-08-2008, 05:27
It was more of a suggestion lol
Talrania
08-08-2008, 05:30
*sob*
Why is everyone racist towards demons?
Sylvonia
08-08-2008, 05:31
So is it his own doing or are you saying Kathy already gave him the shot? Cause she's got a loaded syringe that isn't going to magically vanish.
Resqwandi
08-08-2008, 05:32
I thought she gave him the shot. Misread. Sorry. Edit button, here we come.
Talrania
08-08-2008, 05:36
too late!
Talrania
08-08-2008, 05:36
Just kidding.
Sylvonia
08-08-2008, 05:57
ok then...
Talrania
08-08-2008, 06:03
It's not ok.
Sylvonia
08-08-2008, 06:07
Well TOO BAD!
Talrania
08-08-2008, 06:18
Yes, it is. But not for me. Tell me, do you know where your dog is? Do you know?
Sylvonia
08-08-2008, 06:19
I don't have a dog.
Resqwandi
08-08-2008, 06:20
So, technically, you don't know do you.
Talrania
08-08-2008, 06:22
Aw crap. Who's German Shepperd is this then?
Sylvonia
08-08-2008, 06:23
No, I can't know where my dog is because I don't have a dog to call my dog. It's not that I don't, it's that I can't.
Sylvonia
08-08-2008, 06:25
Aw crap. Who's German Shepperd is this then?

How the hell should... FRAG! SUFF, GET BACK IN YOUR KENNEL!
Talrania
08-08-2008, 06:29
...... what?
Sylvonia
08-08-2008, 06:31
That's Snuffalufagus! One of the Bendinelli's dogs. Go on now, kennel up. *Snuff runs off to his kennel*
Talrania
08-08-2008, 06:35
K.... and Res, you said Tal, not Earl, lol.
Talrania
21-08-2008, 18:25
Is this thread dead?
