I'm craving a good ol' test subject RP, so I decided to make one myself. mmm possibly romance?? dunno. might be a bit more platonic if you catch my drift, but we could have romance. could be slow, though

You (aka whoever joins this) are the scientist. You've worked here for a while in this facility, you've seen a lot of different subjects. Some are humanoid, some even look like humans - some are completely eldritch horrors. The vast majority of the world does not know that these creatures exist and your organization plans to keep it that way. Sometimes it gets stressful - overwhelming, complicated. All of the coverups. You can't share your work with your family - if you even have any - you'd get locked up for that.

Generally, towards the more 'civil' subjects, or the ones that show some sort of sapience are assigned a handler - a scientist who studies them. Interacts with them, if confirmed to be safe. Asks questions. Sometimes brings them out for a walk if they get that far. That's you. You're the scientist, recently assigned to a subject they call 055. 055 is interesting, since they haven't gotten very far in any sort of communication with it - so they presume that maybe, just one person trained to handle this sort of thing can..'tame' 055.

The end goal for this sort of stuff is to understand the subject. They aren't people - they're tools, to be used to our advances. That should be your only purpose in mind - use whatever resources you're given however you must.
Just remember: Objects, not things, not individuals.

Rules:

1. I will be asking for a writing sample, I've got the right to deny or accept you as needed. Have dialogue as well as text.
2. I would prefer mature RPers for this. Not that there will be any major smut - just in regards to some of the themes.
3. Ask before joining.
4. Cursing is allowed.
5. Violence and blood welcome - there will be a time and place for all of that, though.
6. For major fights, let's not autohit, but don't dodge everything either (in the event that happens, of course. Which will be rarely most likely.)
7. If you have any questions or ideas, feel free to ask.
8. I would prefer semi-lit into literate RPers. Good grammar is always appreciated.
9. No one-liners.
10. I would prefer it be more, but I understand sometimes there isn't much going on, so I only ask that your reply be a minimum of two sentences.
11. List may or may not change.

No template for this, just a short (or long) description of your character. Things that should be included are name, personality, appearance, gender, and sexuality as well as age (20-27), things that you can include are backstory and hobbies/skills, or any additional facts.
Ask before joining.

Also multiple characters are indeed allowed - no template required for them, though. The only character with a template shall be your main character.

Bump

_{Why is 6 afraid of 7? Everybody knows that the response is “because 7 8 9”, but people seem to have forgotten that 7 skipped the number next to it and ate the number that is two higher than it. Because we don’t have any more data on 7 eating other numbers, we can only assume that when 7 decides to eat a number lower than it, it will skip over 6, which is next to it, and eat 5, the number two spots on the number line away from it. Furthermore, after 7 has eaten 9 and 5, the new number line around 7 will be 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 10 11. The next time 7 gets hungry, it will likely eat another number that is two spots away from it on the number line, meaning that 4 and 10 are in danger of being eaten. As long as 7 continues to get hungry, it will continue eating numbers two spots away from it on the number line, so in reality all integers except for 6 and 8 are in danger of being eaten by 7 at some point.}

(Ok. How’s this?)

I knew I should have paid more attention to first aid. Liz grumbled at her poor attempts. So far she hadn't been able to determine anything life-threatening. A couple of broken limbs, a few with cracked ribs, some had a lightly bleeding head injury but…
As soon as she heard a crash she turned toward the sound. Relief was immediately felt when she saw someone else had obviously survived. She couldn't make out his rank or anything at the moment, but when he started heading out of the ship…
”Hey!” she shouted, racing to him. ”Hold up, pal! You have no idea what’s out there!”

Name: Clarissa Jones
Gender: female
Age: 25
Sexuality: Demisexual
Personality: She is normally a pretty quiet, analytical, and very organized person. But she gets along well enough with her coworkers… some would say that she’s friendly but definitely work-oriented.
Appearance: She's 5'7" with tanned skin that has a few scars, mostly on her hands and lower legs from growing up on the family farm. She has short choppy black hair, icy blue eyes.
Backstory: Grew up on her parent's farm, so she's good with animals but she's always been interested in sciences. She has a Bachelor's degree in Biology with a minor in genetics. This is her first time ”taming” an experiment.

Name: Subject 055/Bosa
Gender: Male (or at the very least, masculine, given those are the forms 055 has been shown to take)
Age: 26
Sexuality: Heterosexual

Description: 055, also known as Bosa, is a being which generally takes a humanoid form. The subject’s very being appears to be made up of some sort of ‘black sand’, which moulds, softens, hardens, to form whatever is needed for the situation. The humanoid is generally 6’5” in height, with what could be seen as an athletic build.
However, the sand also has in interesting feature in which it can ‘change material, appearance,’ right before your eyes. This is, in a way, a form of shapeshifting for Bosa. Bosa can take on the form of many beings, though it seems to prefer humans, or at least humanoids.

Bosa’s ‘human’ form appears to have pale, ivory skin. Bosa tends to struggle with faces and even hands were some trouble for it up until recently (however, faces still remain hard for Bosa to grasp). What little amount of face Bosa has shown has typically light green eyes. Presumably hair too, albeit short.
In terms of clothing (Bosa can manifest that as well) he’s chosen to hide his face in a helmet (implying that Bosa does care about how he looks to others?). Wears light green jacket, black pants and boots.

Behaviour: Bosa differs from its uncaptured state (in which it was very aggressive and relentless, just ask the people who captured Bosa) being curious but cautious, although it does tend to approach quite quickly. To an unknown extent, Bosa possesses self awareness and intelligence, although most of its actions taken were in protection of itself. Bosa doesn’t understand a lot of human things, but seems almost interested to learn more.
Background: First identified in Russia with an unknown origin, it was not long before squads were dispatched to capture Bosa, however Bosa was able to elude them many times. Uniquely enough Bosa didn’t actually attack until they first attacked, in which he began to attack without mercy, even if they fled him. Many squads were lost against his pursuit. However, he never went after them directly, just seemed to be a creature living its life. It was only when they managed to trap him did Bosa get captured and eventually, brought to the facility. Bosa has shown to be capable of speech, though for whatever reason it never spoke before being captured.
Other: Has been shown to be able to conduct electricity (as well as attracted to it) On the other side, dislikes fire and will avoid it if possible.

Wake up.

055 hadn’t actually slept. Bosa didn’t actually need to sleep, at least not like a lot of creatures did. He rested to conserve energy, but whenever he rested, never was he asleep, always awake to a certain degree.
Staying in his ‘black sand’ form, Bosa commonly hung out by the ceiling. The cell of 055 was a fair size, evenly lit, dimmed to simulate night and day cycles just as he once had out in Russia. Not that Bosa cared too much, although night was definitely when he was more active, and he appreciated the lack of light.
In the morning, Bosa hadn’t displayed too much movement. Passing scientists could note with a chuckle that he didn’t seem to be much of a morning creature.

The surroundings of the cell were sturdy, and there was an observation room lined with strong glass next to the room. Bosa himself couldn’t see into the room. With the cell itself, scientists were unsure what environment 055 had normally lived in, so they just went for a typical, normal human looking room. Bosa seemed neutral to the concept.

The days seemed to blend together to Bosa. To him, they weren’t even like days anymore. Sometimes, he’d not move for days on end if not required to. Rarely did anyone interact with Bosa, since most of their basic tests were already completed. It seemed impossible to think that this was the mighty 055 which had taken out so many of their squads. Now, Bosa seemed extremely docile.
But it seemed that would soon change with Bosa being assigned a handler. Which, Bosa held no knowledge of. He’d continue to just rest, sticking to the corner of the room.

Clarissa shifted in her seat as she watched the sandy black stalactite from the other side of the glass. It was slightly boring work, she'd admit since 055 didn't move much recently. But she wasn't going to let that deter her. Perhaps it had to do with the nature of the… material 055 was made of; very tiny rocks. It honestly impressed her that 055 was biologically alive. And the abilities that were reported were even more incredible!

She had come into work a little earlier than normal despite having stayed up late to catch a favorite movie marathon. She didn't want to mess anything up today. Her team had a meeting with one of the superior scientists a little later regarding their work observing 055. Well, it wasn't really "her team"… She wasn't the lead scientist on it, just a part of it. Though there was an air of anticipation around this meeting. It was mostly gossip at this point but a coworker had told her that 055 was getting a handler soon. It was a standard practice for quite a few of the creatures to receive one.

She almost hoped it would be her this time.

Bosa eventually decided to move around a bit more. The way Bosa moved around - in this form was not yet understood - technically, it should be impossible for him to do so himself, but here he was. Subject 055 was a wonder of nature, perhaps something unnatural instead..?

But that was besides the point. Bosa moved slowly. It was proven he could cover long distances quite quickly, but in a relaxed environment like this with no current threats, there wasn’t much of a need.

The room was pretty much soundproof - people inside the observation room could hear noise inside this one, but in the cell you heard nothing from outside, unless they turned on the speakers.
Bosa made his way to a table where he pretty much gathered up there, under a lamp which was currently turned off. He then went stationary once more.

Clarissa watched, fascinated, as 055 moved and took the appropriate notes when the creature settled. She was normally very detailed in her work but she would have to edit the rough short-hand later as an intern came to relieve her for the meeting.

”Record everything.” she instructed. ”I don't think I have to tell you how important this is.” she said, maybe enjoying her seniority a little more than necessary but she wasn't cruel about it.

The intern nodded, taking her seat as Clarissa left the room with a slight spring in her step. There was no denying the excitement of finding out who would be the newest trainer.

Bosa didn’t move much for some time after that. Although he looked pretty stationary, there were a lot of thoughts going through his…‘mind’ right now. What would he do today?
As considerate as the lab was, they didn’t give him too much to do activity wise. They probably had no clue that Bosa even liked having things to do. Him being so stationary was a result of boredom, something they probably had no idea that he could feel.

He could always ask for something. He was capable of speech, after all. The problem was not having the access. And confidence. Mostly the former..well, maybe the latter.

Clearing up his thoughts, Bosa soon decided to make his human…oid form active. It was a process not even understood by the scientists just yet, how he was able to change shape and size and appearance just to match his preferred form. He could shift pretty much instantaneously, but given there was no immediate threat..there was no rush.

The meeting took roughly an hour for the bosses to be satisfied with the reports and finally told the team who 055’s trainer would be.

When she heard her name, Clarissa nearly fell out of her chair. She was absolutely thrilled. This was a big deal, practically a promotion, and her first creature. She made sure to thank them sincerely before she left the meeting room, unable to stop smiling as she headed back to 055’s observation room. Maybe she should introduce herself…

Forming his typical human form - or as human as he could get it to look, which looked pretty close as long as you could ignore the fact he’d prefer to cover up his head and face due to his inability to replicate those features.

Bosa tested his movement once more before deciding to lay around again. Except instead, it actually looked like he was doing something, not just being a pile of sand; or sand like material.

He sits across the couch that’s in the room, leg crossed over the other. Maybe he’ll get to do something today.
