Futuristic/Paranormal RP

[barkblast334]

This RP is about a paranormal research station, built into an asterioid in Earth-orbit. Things go horribly wrong, and there are only a few survivors...

Positions

scientist one-Cephasquidnautilus (Floyd Miezer, Botanical Division)
scientist two-vacant
scientist three-vacant (optional)
scientist four-vacant (optional)
security guard one-Basalisk (Guy, Dark Matter Division)
security guard two-SGTpenguin (Andrew Vallence, Extra-Terrestrial Division)

paranormal creature one-BarkBlast334 (, 'Demon')
paranormal creature two-Nids4u (N/A, Extra-Terrestrial)
paranormal creature three-Lord Kaos (N/A, Venus Mantrap)

As you can see, we might need a quite a few people.

The survivors' aim is to escape on a ship that docked with the station a week ago, but it is on the top level and an emergency lockdown was called before everything went silent. The survivors are now all that is left, and there are wierd and frightening things lurking deep within the base.

PARANORMAL RESEARCH VENUES

Undead - 'Vampires' (mutated humans with a craving for blood)
Botanical - Venus Mantraps (mutated giant plants with 'brains')
Dark Matter - 'Demons' (creatures from another dimension)
Extra-Terrestrial - 'Aliens' (humans with spliced genes from 'the casket', who mutate severely)
Lycanthropy - 'Werewolves' (mutated humans, basically just your every day, run-of-the-mill lycans)

I'm going to fill paranormal creature one position - you'll encounter me sooner or later. You may create the character of your choice, but within the position boundaries. So, a scientist would be a scientist, not a top-secret assassin guy. The paranormal creature positions, you just petition to me which paranormal you want to be and i'll think it over. The optional slots are just that - optional. If no-one fills them, we'll just start anyway. Minimum, we need four more players.

Enjoy when it starts! I'll also narrate to some extent. Be careful on this station. Strange things may happen here.

Here is my paranormal's profile.

Name:
Age:
Profession: N/A
Division: Dark Matter, technically.
Starting Weaponry: Claws, other-dimensional abilities.
Equipment: N/A
Special Skills:
Description (btw this is optional, as is a bio): midnight black, slightly humanoid. Has horns, red eyes, claws and 'animal' legs (i.e. inverted human ones. You know what I'm talking
bout.).

You'll find out what all the 's are when you find him.

[barkblast334]

Ok, here's the character profiles and some rules.

Character Profile:

Name:
Age:
Profession: Scientist, Biologist, Security Guard etc.
Division: (This is your chosen research subjects, pick one from PARANORMAL RESEARCH VENUES column above)
Starting Weaponry (if applicable. Scientists will not have starting weaponry, but will instead find it):
Equipment:
Special Skills:

Ok, there's the character profile. Now for some rules.

No Godmodding!
Please stay active.
Be in-character. OOC's are fine but try to play like you were actually your character.

Apart from that, enjoy. Also, it is very dark in the station, you may want to consider cobbling together a light-source or perhaps carrying a torch. Another thing; guns may not be the end to all your problems. Indeed, some projectile weaponry will have no effect on some paranormals.

Here's an example character.

Name: Dr Robert Linn
Age: 23
Profession: Scientist
Division: Dark Matter
Starting Weaponry: N/A
Equipment: Torch, PDA.
Special Skills: Machinery and computers.

You can also include a bio if you so wish.

EDIT: Come on people! This should be fun!

[basalisk]

Name:guy
Age: 24
Profession: Gaurd
Division: Dark Matter
Starting Weaponry: shotgun
Equipment: Torch, security card
Special Skills: explosives


Guy looks around at the other survivors... "screw this" he shot too of the scientists in the face then proceed to shoot himself before the other guard could get him.
(thats what i would probably do.)
OOC: Or is the goding?

[barkblast334]

OOC: That's pretty much godding. And we probably won't start until we have another three people. I'll update the list, though. Apart from that, nice character, though a bit of personality and discription might have been nice. And it's good we have an expert in dealing (violently) with Dark Matter. And you're all trying to survive to get out. One person ain't gonna live long here. Not at all, no.

Division: Extra-Terrestial

[Alta]

Could I be one of the scientists that is actually a paranormal in disguise?

[Silence]

Age:n/a
Proffesion: Venus man-trap
Starting Weaponry: Whip-Like vines
Special Skills: The creature can spray acid at things and also...speak?

Description:
Thick-stem with plenty of vines and tenticles at the bottem. The top is a bulb that pulses different colours and is brain-like in texture. It has four feelers on it's "facial area" in place of a nose or touch. There is a hole underneath it where food is dragged under. What happens there is better left unsaid...
It can regurgitate acid at hard prey and also use a physic ability to "talk".

[barkblast334]

OOC: Nids4U: This isn't a warhammer thing, this is a different universe.

And all the paranormal slots have been filled, sorry Alta. Though we still need scientists, and some paranormals can transmit the virus through bites, I.E. lycanthropes. The three paranormal slots are for the player-controlled paranormals. There are others on the station. Oh, and the PC paranormals do not neccesarily have to be evil. Just something to think about. There may also be other scientists and guards on the station, but they will be NPCs.

Good characters everyone!

[CephaSquiddy]

Name: Floyd Miezer
Age: 43
Profession: Biologist
Division: Botanical
Weapon: Will find later.
Equipment: Food, water, first aid kits, spare suits. Importantly, a light, a bell, and a window (can you guess the reference)
Special Skills: Intelligence.

Background: 6'1 height. Graduated from the 2nd best school in the world. Doesn't like to talk but is fascinated by science and biology. He has a slight German accent.

[barkblast334]

Cool, we've almost got enough people to start. I'll put up a little more backstory.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Echoing Star research station, sited on the Omega-D4 asteroid currently in Earth-orbit, conducts top-secret experiments regarding extra-terrestrial material. Further information on that subject is classified, but about an hour ago, at 1337 hours, a distress call went out. Shortly after, at 1345 hours, the facility went into full lockdown mode and all traffic between it and it's corporate partners on Earth ceased. It is widely believed, because of a lack of any further transmissions, that the occupants on board the station are dead, though none know why. Power to the asteroid has been cut, but backup generators inside the facility may still be active. Any further information on this subject is classified.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The survivors are in a large, locked room with a smashed computer, several vents in the roof, no windows and a table and chairs. The (visible) items in the room are:
- blood (lots of it)
- a small test tube (apart from bloodstains, it's clean and empty)
- a battery charger (might want to charge any batteries now)
- paper and a pen (it's blank, but the pen still has ink; it's blue)
- the keypad to the door (the light's still glowing)
- a torn note (hmm...still readable?)
You can examine some things and use others if you want.

When you get out, you can start to self-narrate, but at certain times I will take over the narration. Have fun.

[Silence]

OOC- Is it ok if I move about all over the station?

[barkblast334]

OOC: Pretty much.

[Silence]

OoC: Woohoo! And lets rename my creature...the Akai Fungeki. Red fury.
IC: The Akai Fungeki lay in rest in a botanical lab, surronded by corpses and mutant plants.

[CephaSquiddy]

Floyd takes a look at the torn note.
*Floyd is waiting for Barkblast to tell him what it says*

Mwa Ha!
