Sign Ups Alien Invasion RP [continuation for old and new players]

Pen

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/

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.

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!

The game is on!
Name: Janine Baxter
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Abilities: Can shape shift into a large leopard with near impenetrable skin, night vision, and heightened strength, speed and instincts.
Appearance: Slightly below average height with a slender build.
Janine.png
Personality: Janine has always been a bit of a daredevil and a rebel. She often thinks she knows best even though that certainly isn't always the case. She tends to be in a rush a lot of the time and has a strong thirst for trying out new things.
Backstory: Janine has an older sister called Elizabeth. The two of them were born and raised in the small town where the story began. Their parents are butchers and were very strict with their daughters especially when it came to work ethic. Unlike Elizabeth, Janine despised being told what to do and started rebelling against her parents from a young age. At age nine she started smoking, and she started drinking alcohol when she was 12. This was also when her sister attained a distinctly different personality and some shadowy abilities, which bothered Janine at first but she came to appreciate her sister's new side in time. Janine began smoking marijuana when she was 14. Her sister knew of this but their parents didn't. And at age 15 the aliens invaded and brought an age of utter despair. During the horrible years that followed under the rule of the vis Janine started drinking and smoking more openly without caring about who found out, and she even started doing psychedelic drugs. She would often go too far with it to the point where she wouldn't be able to do her slave work, so her family would have to work extra hard instead. Two years ago when Janine was 17 she smoked some leaves she found that she thought had a nice aroma. She tripped out so hard from those leaves and found herself in a misty realm face to face with a massive leopard that told her that it would grant her its shape in exchange for her ability to cry. The next thing she knew she woke up on the floor several hours later with a headache. That night Janine turned into her giant leopard form for the first time. It felt natural for her to move around like that, but she transformed back into human a few minutes later and hasn't shifted into her leopard form since then. Having lost her ability to cry didn't bother her much until the day of their dreadful escape, when her parents died along with everyone else from their town who didn't escape with them. Her sister, who became the last person remaining that Janine cared about, got severely injured. Being completely unable to cry in a situation like that inflicted great pain all over Janine's body and soul.
 
Name: Kenneth "KJ" Overstreet
Age: 30
Gender: Male
Abilities: Transmutation(think FullMetal Alchemist)
Appearance:
RPG Male.png
5'8" 182 lbs blue eyes with an average build leaning to semi lean. Mostly seen wearing khaki cargo shorts, a green tee with a Mario 1Up Mushroom on the back, a MegaMan cap and a white glove with a Triforce on the back of it on his left hand.
Favorite snacks: Mountain Dew and Doritos(anything BUT the 'Flaming Hot" variety)
Personality: Laid back and easy going, but can be serious when needed, friendly, yet at times can be easily annoyed.
Backstory: Kenneth was raised by his grandparents due to losing his parents in a tragic accident in which a drunk collided head on with them. At around the age of 18, he got caught up in a messy motorcycle accident severely messing his right arm up to the point of amputation which was replaced with a fully functioning autonomous prosthetic. Five years later in 2040, Kenneth came in contact with a magic anomaly,which upon touching it with his right hand, the autonomous arm, sent a jolt like surge through his body knocking him out for roughly 5 minutes which he had a dream of his new power. Now the year is 2047 and he's in Australia with a few other people who like him are now slaves to the aliens who call themselves "Vis". What will the future hole for him and his fellow captives? Stay tuned to find out!
Note: With the way KJ touched the anomaly, he doesn't require a transmutation circle, though, with the timing of acquiring his power, he hasn't hat time to fully train. He can, for the time being, make a knife on the back of his hand(Think Edward Elric from FMA and Brotherhood).

As the game host I'm controlling a secondary party member.

Name: Michael Stern
Age: 36
Gender: Male
Abilities: Skilled at mechanical engineering and chemistry. He knows how to mix chemicals to create performance boosting potions of various kinds and he can make a variety of different explosives.
Appearance: Tall with broad shoulders and decently well trained.
download20200800024247.png
Personality: A responsible but also a bit impatient man. He grew sick and tired of the way they were being treated by the vis and wanted desperately to do something about it. He has somewhat of a big brother role in the community and thus feels like he must protect everyone. He easily loses himself in the moment and tends to forget to worry about himself.
Backstory: Being the oldest sibling out of a group of orphans living with their grandparents, Michael started taking a lot of responsibility from a young age because he didn't want to bother his elderly grandparents. This sense of responsibility stayed with him into his adolescence and adulthood when he learned a lot about chemistry and mechanical engineering in order to provide for his siblings, but also for his wife and kids which later came along too. He's not just a family man, but he's loved by everyone in the community for helping out neighbours and acquaintances alike. In the four years since the occupation Michael has done his best to help everyone else in the town to cope despite the very harsh circumstances. With each day that went by he became more desperate to break free. During their eventual escape the bombs that he had prepared as a distraction ended up blowing the entire town to smithereens, killing all of the vis and humans that were there. The small group that escaped together were the only survivors, and Michael has been feeling an immense amount of guilt ever since their escape. Throughout the two months that have passed he has been doing his best to put up a strong front for the others, but he hasn't stopped beating himself up over the grave mistake that he committed. On the inside he's a total wreck.

Name: Known as the Lorekeeper
Age: 18
Gender:Male
Abilities: Able to go between realms at will. (Think like traveling into/out of books and stuff) Also able to teleport.
Appearance: 6’6” He has darker blonde hair, light blue eyes, average build and wears mostly black sweatpants and shirts
Personality: He can be pessimistic at times but is usually willing to do whatever needs to be done.
Backstory: He first was able to travel between the realms at age 9 and in the alien invasion he lost his left arm. There was nowhere left on earth that could help him so he had to travel to a different realm to get help but it took four years to find a place to get help. When he got his prosthetic arm he became able to teleport and lost the memories he had of his name so he became known only as the lorekeeper.
He learned that he had allergies to bee stings at age 6 and peanuts at age 8. He wants to remember his name.
