The game is on!
The Alien Invasion RP ran for 11 pages from August to December last year. I intend to revive it by making a two month time skip in the game. During this time skip we can make anything happen that we need; we can put our characters in a new circumstance that allows the story to progress better, we can write out characters of players who don't wish to continue playing, and we can add new characters by new players (or old players who want to play a different character). Once we have a good idea of who's playing we can make plans together to figure out what has happened over the two month time skip since the last posts in the game thread right now. For any potential new players, I recommend giving the game thread a read since that will all have happened two months ago when we start the game again. Here's a link to it: https://zeldadungeon.net/forum/threads/the-alien-invasion-rp.68744/
All roleplaying enthusiasts are welcome to join! We can communicate openly in this thread to make sure new characters are introduced well into the story. And if anyone has any questions at all I'm happy to answer them! I will tag those of you who played in the game before, in case you would like to join the continuation with your old characters, or make a new one. Whatever you like!

Earth, year 2047. Let me start by catching you up to speed on what has happened in the last several years: After covid-19 was put to an end the world enjoyed a decade full of international cooperation and prosperity. Because of this, scientific and technological advancements made huge leaps throughout the 2020s and into the 30s. In the early 2030s a number of unexplainable phenomena occurred throughout the world. Different occurrences like that kept popping up more and more frequently throughs the 30s and most of them couldn't be explained despite of the advanced scientific level our society was at. With no clear understanding of these irregular and unpredictable phenomena, it became known simply as "magic". By 2043 the whole world was in great shape thanks to the rapid technological and scientific growth as well as the different types of magic that had been around for about a decade at that point. This magic that manifests itself in some people typically got there after the person went through something out of the ordinary, and the powers can be pretty much anything supernatural.
But in the summer of 2043 our planet was attacked by a massive army from outer space. These aliens took us by surprise and easily overpowered earth's defences. After the swift invasion they occupied every settlement on every continent and suppressed humans everywhere. They stole our natural resources and used those with magical abilities for their own gain. And although they were more technologically advanced than us they took our research in case there was something to be learned. A vast majority of humanity that survived became slaves on their own turf. Extremely few were able to live free, and those who did lived in constant fear of being caught.
The aliens called themselves "vis" and they used instantaneous translators to communicate with the humans. They looked similar to humans in general size and shape but presumably they possessed a better physique and psyche on average compared to humans. The only way to safely tell the difference between a human and a vis without examining their cells was by looking at the colour of their irises. Instead of typically having brown, grey, blue, green or turquoise eyes, the vis had purple, orange, yellow, pink or red eyes.
Now it's been about four years since the vis occupation of earth. A group of our protagonists have escaped captivity by fleeing from their small town on the countryside in Australia where they had been enslaved together since the invasion and forced to do farm work to keep their oppressors fed. The entire community was accidentally blown up during the escape, so the protagonists from that town have lost their families and now only have each other.
