forum The Fields are Forgotten (Sci-fi, 4/4, CLOSED)

The fields belong to no one, but only the planet itself.

The fields were once a battlefield of a war. Now, they are forgotten, just as many were after the war.

Still, memories float throughout this planet. Waiting - not necessarily to be found.

It is a new age. Not one of peace, but of survival - and knowledge.

LOADING COMPLETE

Planet name: Eria
Basic description: An earth sized planet made of mostly fields in terms of geography, as well as some mountains that serve as shelter to those who still happen to live there. Which, those who happen to live there are wildlife. All of the other inhabitants were wiped out during the war. On its landscape, Eria features many shipwrecks, ships shot out of orbit or out of the air. Some eager visitors come to Eria with the intentions of harvesting any artifacts they can find. Eria has a unique sky, for it happens to have two suns due to the binary stars.
Fauna: Small, burrowing mammals. At night, large avians search the ground for those unlucky enough to be outside. Many scavengers. Not many trees.
Mission: To find any technology there worth salvaging. As the galaxy is on the brink of another war, perhaps our finds can help us. Though be wary - you might be tracked. We’ll scramble the enemy’s scanners for a bit, so you should be good for a while. And we highly doubt they’ll go after such a small team.

EXIT?

SHUTTING DOWN..

A bit of a different ‘opening.’ This here is a sci-fi based RP. Basically, you are on a team sent to a once war torn, now ‘dead’ or ‘wild’ planet, to salvage stable technology before the enemies get to it. Who are the enemies..? We’ll find out.

RULES

1. You do not have to be a human, however you can still be one if you want! Heck, you can even be a robot. Or have one as your companion!
2. If you are an alien, do try to be somewhat realistic when making your species. (Yes, it is sci-fi, but I don’t want to see something that’s basically immortal/OP is what I mean. Ties into rule 3.)
3. Try not to be overpowered.
4. In the event of a fight, don’t dodge everything, but don’t auto-hit someone either. Give them a chance to respond.
5. No meta-gaming, meaning you know something told to you OOC.
6. Try to make an effort at good grammar and whatnot.
7. There is a time and place for everything, including violence. Blood is fine, but I don’t want to see an entire essay on it.
8. Cussing is allowed. Just don’t go overboard.
9. If you have any questions, ask here, or PM me.

Sure thing! And thank you!

Name: “Well, technically, it’s Beccallus-Almawils de Stratius, but just call me Bec.”

Age: “Either 21 or 210,516. Try not to think about it too much.”

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Bi

Species: Alien - Elmian (from planet Elmia)

Skills: She's good at combat and strategy. She likes to bake but because she grew up using Elmian techniques, her human cooking skills are really bad.

Personality: Adventurous and brave. Loves a good fight. Very comfortable around other species/races.

Appearance: Fire-coloured hair, starting from yellow at the roots to deep red at the ends, regardless of length. (She likes hers to go to about her shoulders.) The colour of her eyes change colours depending on her mood. Chocolate-brown skin and three moles on each of her cheekbones. She also has tribal tattoos across her shoulders. Elmians are quite tall, but Bec is about average human height (aka a really short Elmian).
NOTE: All Elmians have the same hair colour, emotion-eyes and skin colour. The moles signify intelligence in a special area. There are up to 10 areas, but Bec has 6 moles, which signifies combat intelligence. The tribal tattoos signify royalty (see backstory for details).

Clothing: She wears her space suit most of the time, which is a bluey-white jumpsuit with Elmia's flag on the left side of her chest. If she's not wearing that, she's wearing her workout clothes (a colourful t-shirt and black shorts) or jeans and a t-shirt. She says that human clothing is much more comfortable than Elmian clothing, so she tends to wear human clothes more often.

Backstory: She's the princess of Elmia, but being the princess of a struggling race isn't what Bec wants to do. She wants to explore, have adventures and find love instead of sign papers, make boring speeches and have an arranged marriage.

Other: She wears AI glasses that can project things, take photos, answer questions, etc. Bec calls her Elma.

Name: Iris Fowler

Age: 18,356 but looks to be 23

Gender: female

Sexuality: bisexual

Species: Umbratmos

Skills: Iris has only one "special" ability, she is able to influence the weather using her emotions. She cannot change the weather without draining her energy, but she can make more clouds appear, less rain etc. Other than this ability, she can use her tail as a whip and can hang upside down with it too. The scales on her arms and neck are used as shields, the only thing that can peice through them is DragonFire, a type of poison that can be solidified and molded.

Personality: Develop

Appearance: Umbratmos are are Draconic creatures of weather and shadows, this doesnt necessarily mean they are evil. Iris is a female which are generally darker and slightly taller than male Umbratmos. She looks similar to a Terran, a biped with two arms and similar features, but has many differences. For starters, she has dark grey skin with faded purple and black markings all over her body. Scales adorn her arms and neck, part of her abilities. She is about 6' ⁷" tall, give or take a few inches. She has 4 fingers on each arm ending in light grey tipped claws. Iris has 2 spiralling horns protruding from just above her forhead, pointed ears, and large bat like wings in the back, and a long but thin tail. Iris, like many Umbratmos, has 4 eyes. Inset on a long-ish face, she normally uses 2 eyes as it is easier to see that way. Her eyes are fairly large, just a bit bigger than a golf ball and are a beautiful dark green and blue with a silver pupil

Clothing: Iris likes to good cook. This is why when she works, she puts on a special apron type shirt to protect he clothes. Normally she would wear a pair of grey or black trousers, any type of top though she normally wears things with shorter sleeves, a necklace with a white crystal hanging from it, and other small leather bracelets

Backstory: Iris was hatched at a time when her planet, Stormix, was at war. She, like many others, were either forced to evacuate or fight against Enemy forces from space. Her family was one of the hundreds that stayed to fight. Many years passed and she started to develop her powers. Her wings came and her teeth became the traditional fanged that all Umbratmos had. But she lost her parents because the were publicly executed when the majority Stormix forces were destroyed. Iris became a being of anger and realized that her emotions could influence the weather. Using this ability, the other fighters, channeled her anger and trained her to destroy the enemy. Eventually she left Stormix, to find adventure elsewhere

Other: she has a strong connections with mountain lions, loves watching them. For reasons unknown, they don't seem to hurt her if she gets too close to them.

Name: Oron Matzen

Age: “50. I’m 50, but thanks to my genetics and species I look and apparently act in my twenties. Act…whatever that means.” In other words, technically he is 50, but you know - alien and all, just consider him to be around 22.

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Species: Alien hybrid - human and Cauk. He doesn’t look that different from a human..actually, it’s hard to see what Oron actually looks like. Cauks hail from the water world known as Kipra, while human is self explanatory.

Skills: He’s good with guns. Big guns. Guns that do damage. Oh, and he can also hold his breath for a long time. And he’s good at repairing stuff. Some stuff at least.

Personality: Oron tries to be something he is not. He tries to live up to others expectations, or to be..well, impressive. Even though he’s not the best at that sort of stuff. Most of the time, it may seem as if Oron does not take the situation seriously. Which is understandable. Most of the time, it really really looks like that. Despite seeming rather arrogant, there is a good reason he was chosen for this team. Oron does have a friendly side, a more ‘human’ side to him. He’s like one of those guys who you’re like, “oh, not this guy again,” but he can also be a guy who will listen to your problems and not judge you.

Appearance: Most of his true appearance is relatively unknown, but it’s assumed due to his parent’s origins, he definitely looks very..mixed. Probably the reason why he hides himself away. While hybrids aren’t frowned upon in all places, they’re definitely something to be looked at for some.
It can be safely assumed he takes on the aquatic, reptile like Cauk features and human features as well.
He’s around 6’0” in height.

Clothing: Now you find out why you can’t see what he looks like for realsies.
To sum it up - it looks like he’s ready for battle. All of the time. Don’t ask him if he ever feels hot in that stuff he wears. Or maybe ask him. I don’t know.
Oron wears armour. It makes him look a lot more threatening than he actually is, although anyone who’s explored the galaxy a little bit knows that there are creatures several thousand times more threatening than him. If anything, Oron is probably a normal sighting for a lot people.
His armour is heavy, with a focus on defense over speed and agility. If you’re not sure if there’s a big spider around the corner in one of those shipwrecks - just send him around the corner, you should be fine. Hopefully.
It covers his entire body, including face and head, making his appearance impossible to see. His visor does not seem to let you see his features whatsoever, either. His armour is of course, of darker shades. A dark purple if you will.
Occasionally he’ll sport a hat or a bow tie if he’s feeling a bit fancy.

Backstory: Oron Matzen, the illegitimate child of his Cauk mother and human father. Given away to live on a desert planet within the first months of his life, life was a bit difficult. Biologically anyways. Humans can live in deserts. Cauk cannot. Cauk live on water worlds, deserts aren’t water worlds. Oron suffered a great bit here, and that’s why he took the first chance he got to stowaway and get off the planet.
He arrived at a more urban city, and was caught by a mechanic as he looked for food. However, instead of reporting him in, Oron was taken in (which is obviously, where he received his mechanical skills from). While work was tough here, Oron could say he learned a lot from this guy. He considered the mechanic his father figure. But like all birds, they must leave the nest. Sometimes forcefully.
Oron was at the age where he was physically healthy enough to be conscripted for the war that had just broken out. He doesn’t talk too much about this war that he was involved in - most people don’t even know Oron fought in it.
He learned quite a bit as well.
When the war was reaching its final months, Oron was able to leave, and so he did. He settled down for a bit, built himself a droid companion, until he received a note that he was going on a mission. From there…well, we’ll see.

Other: Cauk do not ‘speak’ language like human do. They communicate at a low frequency that can not be heard by most creatures in the galaxy. While Oron cannot preform this, he can understand lower frequencies.
He has a small droid companion he built called Bult. Bult is a small droid, able to hang onto most humanoids. Bult is built as a small storage unit, but also as a small defense and scouting unit as well.
He tends to be very expressive as well.

Everyone’s characters look good so far, we just need one more person!

I do have a question - would any of you like to begin this RP with the crew knowing each other, or do we begin on a blank slate?

Name: Natki Hugo
Age: 28
Gender: Female
Sexuality: She hasn’t really figured it out yet
Species: Human
Skills: (what skills do they have? Are they musical? Can they climb? Run for long periods of time? Cook? Shoot well?) She has a robotic arm that increases her strength, accuracy, and has a grappling hook. She also has quite a sweet singing voice.
Personality: Charming and sweet, with a gentle demeanor that belies her strength. Don’t mistake her calmness and politeness for weakness or naivety, or you’ll regret it.
Appearance: 5’6”, with scruffy dark blue hair and large blue eyes. A dark tan skin tone with a spattering of freckles, a curvy body type.
Clothing: Wears a hooded poncho covered in pockets for various tools and gear, as well as warm leggings and rain boots.
Backstory: (optional, if you choose to fill this out it doesn’t have to be long.) She was born without her left arm and was able to get a cybernetic replacement at age 5. She wanted to be able to make repairs and upgrades to her prosthetic, so she gradually attained a large amount of mechanical prowess. Her parents are both very supportive of her dream to explore other planets, and while this mission may not be the most important, she is still quite excited.
Other: (any companions/pets? Do they have an animal we know of, or an alien? Perhaps a droid? Or nothing? Include anything else I may have missed here as well!) Nope!
