It's no doubt you know of the Alien from the Aliens franchise. Alien: Isolation released recently and beyond that the Alien is rated one of the most Iconic monsters of all time. So how about you (yes you) are stuck on a shipwreck on a salvaging mission when you find that there's actually something that's been causing these ships to end up floating endlessly though space with little sign of any crew.
Premise:
You are among a group of friends. You guys have been doing great making a living off of boarding derelict space craft and salvaging whatever you can find. It's however been a tough run and the last few ships have just been small private cruisers that didn't have much to them in the first place.
But what's this? A massive ship in the distance? Looks like a cargo vessel. the USCSS Nalfar. You and your crew radio it to find no response at all. Nothing being broadcast from it either. You look amongst yourselves and realise that this is the mother-lode. Close inspection shows that it was taken out my a meteor storm after a shield failure. There are some online systems: Life Support is intact thought 80% of the ship. The Bulkhead didn't fail to contain the breaches... you'd think someone would have survived. Oh well. their loss.
How this is going to work:
This is going to be some pretty experimental stuff with a hint of DnD. You guys are going to RP while I control the variables, namely the Alien(s?).
I'll set the scenes and please by all means find your own creative ways to get out of situations. However keep in mind that this is a survival horror and I'll make sure that things will be tense by taxing your actions.
e.g. you encounter the alien, but you've somehow managed to make an improvised sort of weapon. You indicate that you're swinging at it to fend it off. I see this and think, ok, you've hit it, however it's acid blood has sprayed everywhere and dicintigrated part of your suit and some of your leg, making it very difficult to move and impossible to enter an are without life support, which I will probably push you towards because I'm evil.
No worries though, I'll let you come back as an Alien and we may even have a sequel along the lines somewhere.
Character sheet:
Name:
Age:
Species:
Role: (technician, hacker, pilot, doctor, etc)
Special Training: (Did you pick something up somewhere that made you good at what you do?)
Back Story: (make your character come alive)
I'm not including weapons, however I will Assign one person to have some form of gun before I start.

Mk-50 Compression suit
Plasma torch for welding, cutting open
Torch/Radio headset
Rules:
No Multiple Characters (You can try, but I'll have fun killing them off)

Read everything and structure your posts. I want your posts to be descriptive of the surroundings, emotions, etc.
Have fun
If you have any questions, feel free to ask them.
If you want to join some way into the RP, there'll always be a way.
I can't always be here, so message me and I'll assign a new GM

I call the gun :p! Character sheet in the works!

Name: erik
Age: 38
Species: wolf
Role: pilot
Special training: former combat pilot
Back story: a former combat pilot thats was sick of watching young men die for someone else political agenda so after a heated discussion with a senior commanding officer in a bar one night it left that life behind to purse is love else where. Third generation combat pilot he was raised by his father after his mother died, after retirement his father took up crop dusting as a side income as a result he learned to fly on small single engine planes. He joined the military after he found himself looking at a year in prison or enlisting. His time in the military left him with minor medical skills

Name: Barrett Fulton
Age: 27
Species: black German shepherd
Role: Guard/weapons tech specialist
Special training: he worked for the merchant marines as a weapons tech scavenger and a guard of sorts( to scare people off his claims, mostly )when weapons tech was nowhere to be found, as it often is. Before that, he worked for the colonial marines as an EOD tech, though he will not say if he was honorably or dishonorably discharged
Backstory: Barrett is a spacer; he was born in a cold, metal machine, and, as his birth suggests, he feels at home in them. He can count the number of times he willingly went down to a "dirt ball" on one hand, and even then, he still hated it. Everything was different. The gravity was off. The air didn't have that purified tinge to it that he so loved. And, there wasn't the ever present hum of a ships reactor to lull him to sleep. And let's not forget how dirty it was!
He did his tour of duty as an EOD tech, or at least most of it (again, his discharge has quite a bit of ambiguity to it) floating around various colonies, defusing what often turned out to be nothing. When he heard a group of his friends were forming a salvage company, he jumped at the opportunity to pocket quite a bit of cash, and that is where he is now!
((Lel sorry if it's a bit screwy wrote it first on the note thing on my iPad

Loving the look of this so far.
I may feel like nerfing you a bit Naismith, but I'l need to figure that out >:3

Welcome aboard Kalan :)

Name: Law
Age: 24
species: White feline
Role: Technician
Special Training: Wiring, some computer code and piano (helps when needing a steady hand)
Back Story: Born and Raised on Earth, from a broken family. Did especially well in their academic studies, throughout college but wasn't awfully keen on university. Missed their deadline to apply to college regretting it dearly, but instead with initiative and the internet available Law learnt even more. Eventually Law made small business, fixing things like cameras, tablets, phones, anything techy. You could ask Law anything and it was always yes, even if they didn't know how to do it, they'd just find out how to. Fast learner.
Eventually, they got bored of the Earth, Law always had an affinity for the stars and space. And so left to go places, much more exciting. Worked on some cargo ships, doing mainly maintenance, but always hated the lack of a view to the outside.

Welcome aboard :)

Yaaaaaay xP

Name: Ashlin Thorn (lets try a none fursona character)
Age: 27
Species: Desert Fox (not a fennec)
Role: Engineer
Special Training: Repair and maintenance of things mechanical, mainly having to do with ships. Her everyday use of tools makes her a fast welder.
Backstory: Ashlin was once part of a space pirate gang, maintaining the ship and repairing the few planet vehicles they had. She found it to be an easy life, vert rewarding when they managed to raid something. Any time they found some poor cargo ship or trader vessel her team would plunder it, killing anyone inside before taking the loot and blowing it up. The fox got her cut, with barley having to get any blood on her paws too. Everything had been good, simple, but leave it to life and fate that things would screw up. Looking back she knew what went wrong, knew they didnt see the marine logo on the ship before they boarded. And before the could even blink, she found herself inside of asecure max prison on some astroid in god knows were. She spent three long years there before being released, and just in time to get a call to join a scavenging crew.

Name: Remulus "Rylie" Orion
Age:25

RP is officially started: http://www.thefurryforum.com/forums/index.php?topic=26559.0 (http://www.thefurryforum.com/forums/index.php?topic=26559.0)
I've started you all off in your salvage ship (i'd love for you guys to name it) as you wake up from deep sleep.
A giant wrecked ship lays in the distance. your mission is to board and salvage anything you can sell.
-
Wooo! and how does the CFV Seeker sound? (Commerical FTL Vessel)

Well that works, looking forward to see some character development :P
I would just like to point out that I'm liking where this is going so far along the way of character development, however I'm not sure I like that massive jump there Rae.
Try to let things develop around you. Also the ship isn't in a safe space any more. Anyone familiar with the Alien Series would know that this is where things start to get a bit hairy.
Anyone tries to skip developing will probably get punished in some way or another.
your mission is now to find what the Nalfar was carrying and salvage what you can of it.
Keep in mind, It's a massive ship and you may not even find anything.
Also, I would like you guys to at least leave the ship altogether. Remember you only control yourself, so try to co-ordinate it. You are a team and refer to each other's character sheets. Try not to do each other's jobs.
Not to say you can't run off by yourself, but who know's what danger is out there?
Remember, if you try to do something that doesn't effect yourself, I'm in control of it. e.g. you try to hack a door? I get the final say in if it opens.

Alright. Sorry about that, a bit of a habit

ERROR---//: Warning Unexpected end of archive
I had to laugh at this :P
-
Hahah why? xD
-
because it's so annoying when you download a corrupted archive and it throws that error at your face XD
-
I was extracting a .zip file mod for my Just Cause 2, and it said that so I thought I'd put it in xD
-
Just a reminder, if you die (which inevitably will happen :D) you will get to enact the role of one of the aliens
-
