Odyessus Circuit: Signups

[Hylian_Monolith]

The Odysseus Circuit, a galaxy millions of Light-years away from Earth--the place humankind now calls home. With the discovery of warp speed, humans became free to explore the Milky Way as they pleased. When Earth became overgrown, broken, humanity rooted out the livable planets of the rest of the galaxy to spread and colonize.

And when we discovered the valuable resources on the surrounding planets, they started terraforming.

It is the year 2943. This was to be another simple mission for the Omega Scout team of the ITST(Interplanetary Terraforming Scout Teams), another journey to a new planet to find and pinpoint the right location to plant the Matrix and begin the terraformation process. But when the denizens of the planet, which was thought uninhabited, attack and kidnap the scout team, they realize there is more to the Circuit humans have inhabited for so long than anybody has realized.

As a part of this scout team, you must become warriors as humanity is faced with a new, terrifying threat. But can you best the aliens before it's too late to salvage civilization?

Backstory:

At the start of the roleplay, everyone is in the ITST-issued uniforms, shown here(designed and drawn by Monolith), and armed with simple rifles. You will have access to the alien's weapon technology later on, and after a timeskip close to the beginning, you have the option of changing your character's clothing. Describe the weapons you intend to find and the clothes you want for the majority of the RP on the signup.

What is known about the aliens--read me!

Spoiler

At the beginning of the RP, nothing is known about these creatures. However, later on some things are discovered about these creatures.

The aliens are eight and a half feet tall at full height, but they normally slouch considerably, so they seem to be only about seven feet until they stand up straight--which is rarely. Their long, strong legs give them surprising speed and agility, and they can jump very high. Their balance seems impeccable, possibly aided by their long, finned tails.

Their vivid fins, which can be raised or lowered, are for quick direction change, control while in the air, and to scare off predators or show dominance--it is not yet known if they even have pretadors. Their hides are thick and covered with brown and green scales, so that they can blend in with the jungles and swamps of the planet. Their skin is able to resist the poisons and high pressure of the muggy atmosphere, and their snouts are designed so that they can breathe in a wide variety of conditions--hot air, freezing air, at high speeds and high altitude, and to siphon the important oxygens from the deadly gases of the planet's air.

They have their own language and theology, and they are smarter than the humans. They seem coordinated enough to be united, but how they are ruled--if they are--is unknown.

EDIT: Sign-ups are closed! I'm sorry to Woyogoyo, rainy, and Johhny, as well as those who should want to join in the future, but it's full. My condolences.

This RP was theorized by BANKAI!!!, and the two of us developed it together. He is also the co-mod.

Excellent. I like how it turned out, as well I like this ^^

You said Aren and Meli, yes? Cool.

Oh, and I forgot to mention--character limit is three, two preferred. I'll work on my SUs now ^^

 

[Kirito]

I may bring in all three Aldrich boys. Depends on how many join.

 

[Hylian_Monolith]

Name: Melica Arefaen
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Appearance: Melica is curvy and her stance shows that she knows very well she is. Her hair is a kind of orange-auburnish, not too vivid, unlike her distinct golden, green-flecked eyes. She stands at about 5'6".
Clothing: Meli tends to prefer more fitted clothing--I feel lazy so I uploaded this reference. The gloves are brown, slightly lighter than the shirt, the vest is green, and the boots are black. One of her swords is to the right.
Position: She's regarded jokingly as the bad girl of the scout team, and does like to tease herself about this being her job, but she's actually the diplomat of the team--she handles most of the talking.
Weapons: Once found--dual swords, two slightly curved silver blades that glow faintly green with venom. Intricate alien writing is along the blades, and the hilts are wrapped tightly with some kind of brown and black fabric. She wears the black sheathes two belts, crossed at her hips.
Personality: Melica is quick, graceful, and impulsive--she'll follow her gut to the death, and does get injured a lot because of it. She usually maintains a confident, snarky demeanor, and isn't afraid to tease her friends, or herself, just for humour's sake. She can also be a bit random, and too confident for her own good.
Backstory: Born into a high-class family as the heiress to the power, Meli never really liked her lot in life. Great as it was, she knew she was never fit for that kind of leadership. When she was 17, not long after her mother died of illness and her father became abusive, she ran away from home, and found an artist named Aren who agreed to help her out, because of her influential role as an Arefaen. For a while, she stayed under the radar, hiding from her birthright. Then, when she was twenty-one, her elder sister--having previously left the family herself--returned and agreed to take the power. Free to do as she pleased without the weight of the Arefaen legacy, Meli started looking for adventure, and joined the ITST not long after.

Name: Aren Alpenlen
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Appearance: Aren has dark blonde hair that's always a bit tousled, like he just woke up form a nap, and stormy blue eyes. He stands at about 5'7, and is averagely built. He also wears glasses.
Clothing: Most of Aren's non-uniform clothes are paint-stained, but he doesn't really care. When not in uniform, he typically wears a blue jacket(I always say blue but it's purple in my mind I'm weird) over his ever-paint stained shirts, black pants or jeans(DENIM IS STILL A THING IN THE FUTURE), and a sketchbook is always on his person, usually attached to his belt through a series of straps. After all, when the inspiration strikes them, an artist will draw--although it's not technically his job anymore, Aren still considers himself an artist. It's a hobby.
Position: Aren is James's second-in-command. He's a good strategist, and although he doesn't seem like it, makes an excellent leader.
Weapons: Aren is more of a thinker than a fighter, as one of the scout team really should be, but he does fight when absolutely needed. He tends to stick to the rifle. However, he does own a holocom that allows him to map out and record certain locations on the planets they go to, as well as various other things.
Personality: A smart, if dorky, man, Aren has the major flaw of being completely blind to emotion. He won't be able to tell that a person is angry until they slap him--which has actually happened before--and is even worse romantically. This can make him come off as stupid when he is, in fact, a very clever person. He'll sometimes miss crucial details, as well. Despite these flaws, Aren really is a kind person with the best at heart, and will always do what's right.
Backstory: Aren never met his parents. His mother supposedly died in childbirth, and his father is unknown--Aren was raised by his grandfather. His grandfather was a strict man, and always wanted Aren to join the military, but Aren had other dreams, and as soon as he was eighteen moved to a more populated planet and became an artist. After a few successful months in that business, Aren found the Arefaen heiress, Melica, in hiding, and decided to help her out. The two became close friends, and when Meli's older sister took the power five years later, he was basically dragged off by her in the pursuit of adventure. They joined the ITST--not quite what Aren's grandfather had in mind, but he's sure his soul is at rest.

I'll finish them later. ^^ EDIT: I just need to add Meli's clothes and Aren's weapon.

EDIT: Done and dusted! I'll start the RP up now!

...WHO DO I BE HERE. I MUST BE IN THIS, BUT WHAT DO I BEEEE?

 

[Shadsie]

I'll try an idea. I don't know if it will be allowed, though...

Name: Leona Fellis

Age: Unknown - "Prime of Life Adult" but that's all that even she presently knows.

Gender: Female

Appearace: Large, muscular, somewhat flat-chested but looks like she has cleavage on first glance (it's mostly pectoral-muscle). Mane-like hair, soft, tawny fur. Upright, rounded ears. Clawed fingertips, a tail. A face that protrudes more than a standard human's but less than an animal's. In short, a mostly-human feline/human hybrid, Pantera-Class.

Clothing: Whatever is issued, but usually goes around in a tank-top and pants with a slit to allow her tail freedom to sway.

Position: The resident experimental-soldier.

Weapons: Anything she can get her hands on, but is a heavy-weapons specialist. Things that are too heavy for the average grunt to carry she can lift with ease. Enjoys explody-things.

Personality: Strong but friendly. She's often mistaken for stupid because of her "muscle" status and because she is a half-beast, but she's actually very intelligent. She pretty much lets the bigots think what they will, since she doesn't think they'll ever change. Loyal to her commanders as she was "bred" with a loyalty-program in the scientific-engineering facility where she was born. This can get her into trouble, as sometimes she will follow orders that probably shouldn't be followed...

Backstory: Leona is known and listed on rosters as "Experiment 4237." One of her creators who'd grown attached to her gave her the "gift of a human name." She is a part of a line/race of genetic experiments designed to make offshoots of the human race that can better survive certain planetary environments. Her principal hybridization mix comes from an animal from Earth that Was that is long extinct by now but lives on in genetic samples - the African lion. The scientists that created her "class" of being did so for the boost in musculature and possibility of introduction to some of the planets where the terraforming has taken on a "jungle / savanna" type. Her kind, as well as those of the Lupis class ("werewolves") and other strong mammal-hybrid classes are also being taken in by the military to see what use they can be as soldiers.

Animal-hybrid people like Leona are very rare and tend to be discriminated against ("affront to God" / "affront to Humanity" / "Crime of Science" is often heard by them). At the same time, many of them have taken up literally worshipping humans, as humans are their creators. Leona doesn't think humans are any better or worse than she is and does not engage in such worship, sometimes she even hopes there's a Higher Power because "most of them need some smiting, bigtime." Nonethless, the loyalty "programming" imbedded in her keeps her in a place where she obeys orders from her human military superiors in a way that borders on worship.

Hm, it's interesting for sure. I trust you enough to let you do this. Bankai and I are in agreement--welcome to the squad.

Tatl, I have no clue. I'm guessing this isn't Bang's sort of thing, Leona's a bit too like Fang but too different to strike an even balance, I wouldn't put Luke in, Madi's a kid... and I don't want to be the excessive shipper and say Dagger. Are there any I'm forgetting? Of course, if I'm wrong about Bangs or you think Luke or Clarisse could work, by all means, go for it.
