(http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=101390.msg4401725#msg4401725)<br><br><hr><hr><strong>User:</strong> Joslyn<br><strong>Name:</strong> Sarah Nakano<br><strong>Age:</strong> 17<br><strong>Gender:</strong> Female<br><br><strong>Physical Traits:</strong><br>A striking young woman of predominantly Japanese ancestry, Sarah is slender and has a timid manner. She has long, dark hair and pale skin. She is tall at 5’9, much of this due to her long legs. For the last two years she has often worn the standard jumpsuit issued to her when she began technical training aboard the colony ship. Otherwise, she wears relatively inexpensive clothing in line with the current fashions teenagers wear in the Mare Erythraeum region of Mars.<br><br><strong>character:</strong><br>Sarah is fairly easy to get along with, but holds people at a distance. She is shy, easily intimidated, and not very talkative unless the topic of conversation is of interest to her—she is most fascinated by engineering, science, and philosophy. She is very intellectually curious and hard working, although all her studying and problem-solving cannot erase her loneliness. <br><br><strong>Profession:</strong><br>Robotics Technician, First Class. Her expertise is with designing and maintaining electronics hardware. While she works mostly with automated factory systems and resource gathering robotic drones, these skills are general enough to apply elsewhere. She also has some experience with debugging and modifying software.<br><br><strong>Background:</strong><br>Sarah Nakano is originally from Erythraeum City on Mars, though her family tree can be traced back to pre-Burn Japan. Growing up she was an extremely gifted student, though also a bit shy and lacking in confidence.<br><br>Her father Takashi was CEO of Nakano Electronics, a privately owned interplanetary conglomerate. Sarah was the most intelligent of his four children, and he decided to groom her to be his successor. But she had no interest in business, and spent much of her free time studying computers and robotics engineering.<br><br>Angered at what he considered to be his daughter’s obstinate behavior, Takashi began to monitor her closely and severely curtailed her activities. Though she was usually passive, Sarah was passionate enough about her interests to rebel, and at age fifteen she began writing scathing reviews of Nakano products on the planetary network.<br><br>Sarah’s entire family was outraged, and when she failed to apologize Takashi disowned her. He cut her off from his fortune and even granted her request to be legally emancipated. Shortly thereafter he came to regret the decision when he learned that she had been accepted into the technician’s program for <em>The Exodious.</em> He spent the next two years trying to dissuade her, but Sarah was excited by the historic opportunity and had little attachment to her family. By age seventeen she had qualified as a tech, specialized with the automated factories and resource gathering drones that would be deployed once the colony ship had arrived at its destination. She was then placed in cryogenic storage along with the other colonists.<br><br>(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/4/42/MichelleMatsumoto2.jpg)<br><br><hr><strong>User:</strong> shadowChaser<br><strong>Name:</strong> Richard Hawthorne<br><strong>Age:</strong> 26<br><strong>Gender:</strong> Male<br><br><strong>Physical Traits:</strong><br>A tall, slim man with an athletic build, Richard has black curly hair and piercing dark eyes. His youngish features are offset by a fair degree of stubble and he has a wide, full mouth. He likes to wear black, but you won't find him wearing any dark satanic jewellery or any skull or demon head t-shirts. He does, however, wear a silver pentagram on a black leather chain around his neck.<br><br><strong>Character: </strong><br>Inwardly Richard is a little shy and socially awkward. He knows this and compensates by trying to be as open and friendly as he can. This means he can sometimes be quite chatty, but at other times be stuck for something to say. He is at his best when in his own comfort zone. Though not an incredibly brave person, Richard can be loyal and will act despite of any fears to protect those that he considers friends. He has a fairly keen intellect and is good at problem solving. He practices Aikido.<br><br>Richard has always been attracted to what could be considered as Gothic Metal. By this he means bands that have strong guitar leads with soft, female vocals. He doesn't particularly like bands that "growl" rather than sing. His favorite color used to be Red, but recently he revised this and now it's purple.<br><br>Richard likes spicy food. By spicy that doesn't always mean hot. He is quite partial to the odd Jalfreizi but also really likes Korma and Masala. He likes to wash this down with a good "real" Ale. Socially he has a passion for Glenmorangie.<br><br>Richard doesn't read much lately, but does occasionally pick up the odd horror novel. He's a H.P. Lovecraft fan at heart. He likes cats.<br><br><strong>Profession:</strong><br>&nbsp;Expert in the fields of both Artificial Intelligence and Nanotechnology<br><br><strong>Some Background:</strong><br>Born on Mars, Richard showed a natural aptitude for technology and reverse-engineering from a very young age. He was encouraged to develop these skills through his school years and when he was old enough studied Artificial Intelligence and Nanotechnology at University, from which he<br>graduated with first class honors. <br><br>After graduating, Richard was recruited by Mars security services, writing surveillance software. His skill in this field drew the attention of the Earth intelligence division who hired him to combat cyber terrorism. Whilst there he was trained in counter-espionage. After spending a year in this roll he was enlisted for the mission as one of the many computer specialists, and also for his skill at reverse engineering new technologies, combined with his talent for hacking unusual systems.<br><br>(http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/beinghuman/ep6pic3.jpg)<br><hr><strong>User:</strong> Dracoat<br><strong>Name:</strong>Daric Storms<br><strong>Age:</strong> 27(40 if you add time in cryo)<br><strong>Gender:</strong> Male<br><br><strong>Physical Traits:</strong><br>&nbsp;5'7", 180lbs, Stocky, but in a muscled way, has a tattoo around his neck which say "I can ice your fires, trust me."<br><br><strong>Character:</strong><br>Carefree, joking, often overlooks the obvious in favor of finding something more. His favorite color is yellow, odd but true. He has a habit of, when working, to completely forget about stuff.<br><br><strong>Profession:</strong><br>&nbsp;Cryogenic Systems Specialist<br><br><strong>Some Background:</strong><br>&nbsp;Taught how to be "useful" to the dome community of Luna 4 on the Moon, Daric was born to be a fixer. As a child he played in the tight crawlspaces and maintenance corridors. Sometimes, something would break and block his path, so he fixed it. This was just something he did so he could keep exploring. His parents were killed in a dome breach incident, as the atmosphere was still too hostile for human life. He was distraught and dissapeared into his haven of tunnels. When the engineers finally caught up to him, as a boy of 13, Daric astounded them with his knowledge of simple yet effective repairs for even the most advanced systems. The leading cryogenic company of the time, Cryogenie Corp., caught wind of him and adopted him as a company venture, they taught him the ins and out of cryogen technologies and systems. By 18, Daric could build his own freezing chamber to flash freeze anything. At 21 he was drafted into a colonization project when he submitted his name in a survey. He would spend the next 10 years in a cryo system, be awake for 6 years performing various duties with the cryo systems, then sleep another 4. This is how he came aboard the Exodious. This is how he awoke into the chaos.<br><br>(http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT5DIN63QwjIV2MWe7tEAdDYZyafx9y1nQFNkoKMJqhT3KozHzmmQ&amp;t=1)<br><hr><strong>User:</strong> Eliza<br><strong>Name:</strong> Ellen Mendoza<br><strong>Age:</strong> 23 (Y 2118) / Born Y 2095<br><strong>Gender:</strong> Female<br><br><strong>Physical Traits:</strong><br>&nbsp;Slim and petite, Ellen stands at a height of 5' 2" and weighs in at about 105 lbs. She's the typical short Hispanic girl, sporting brown hair, brown eyes, though with a pale skin color than her Hispanic tanned-skin brethren. Many people do not notice that she has an implant in her left eye, giving her what would be a telescopic advancement for her eyes, an upgrade she was given after suffering from blindness at the age of 20. Ellen has bullet scars on her right arm and left thigh, wounds she suffered a year prior to being put in cryo on the Exodious. She grew up living in the near-hostile environment of Mars. So it wouldn't be unusual if someone found Ellen wearing a black pressure suit everywhere she went.<br><br><strong>Character:</strong><br>&nbsp;Ellen is calm and collect and usually does not panic in times of chaos. To panic was to use more air when your suit leaks oxygen, so she trained herself to calm herself down in risky situations. This characteristic gives her the ability to fire a pistol without a nervous wobble.<br><br>She is content whether in a crowd or alone by herself. Her father dying from a hereditary illness when she was young made her to be independent at a young age. The eldest out of three children (two little brothers), she would often help out her mother by taking care of her brothers and chores around their home.<br><br>Ellen is very observant, and notices things just by staying in one place and taking note of differences, whether subtle or not, in the environment around her. This characteristic made her to be a fine criminologist.<br><br><strong>Profession:</strong> <br>Former Criminologist, Currently a Forensic Scientist for the <em>Exodious</em><br><br><strong>Background:</strong> <br>Ellen was born on Mars to Hispanic parents living in a major settlement on the planet. She was a good kid, always wanting to hear about her family and how they were originally from the Earth and migrated to Mars for a better life. She loved the story of her great-grandparents, and though they were brother and sister, agreed to leave the Burned Earth to start a family and a better life. Though her great-grandfather was completely blind at the age of 30, the time when her grandfather was born, he did not give up on life. He couldn't see, but that didn't stop him from using his other senses to navigate his world. This inspired Ellen to look, not only with her eyes, but her other senses. As time went by, even after the death of her father, she navigated through life like her great-grandfather.<br><br>Her skill at observation and at solving problems made her independent at a young age, and often helped out her mother when she had too much to do. Her two little brothers would often fight and Ellen would be there to break it up.<br><br>Her observant view of things led her on a path to entering into an internship at the age of 16. On Earth, crime was evident in society. On Mars, it wasn't very different. Living in a settlement where crime was unpredictable, Ellen was courageous enough to began her education immediately in the field of criminology and forensic sciences. At the end of internship, she suffered from blindness in her left eye, a characteristic her father, her grandfather, and her great-grandfather had when he was in the same age. After being recruited into a CSI lab, her job gave her the opportunity to regain her sight. She was given an telescopic implant in her left eye, which gave her an advantage over other criminologists working with her.<br><br>Her career and journey through life did not have an absence of risks. After her second year on the job, she was caught in a firefight along with her fellow investigators, returning fire on insurgents returning to a crime scene. Stray bullets caught her by surprise, wounding her right arm and left thigh. Ellen laid in bed for about eight months, half the time healing from her attack and the other half on leave from work. She contemplated whether to continue in the field, worrying her family, or leave it entirely. During her rehabilitation, the lead CSI, Ellen's boss, offered her a chance to be one of thousands on board the Exodious. She would be going in his place, for he was to be a forensic scientist helping out in the expedition. After thinking it over, she accepted the invite and weeks after regaining her strength on her 23rd birthday, she was placed in cryo on board the massive ship.<br>(http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i254/RiZAL_D/Miscellaneous/ellen_mendoza01.jpg)<br><hr><strong>User:</strong> Akhanu<br><strong>Name:</strong> Enio Pellegrini<br><strong>Age:</strong> 30<br><strong>Gender:</strong> Male<br><strong>Born:</strong> Moon<br><br><strong>Physical Traits:</strong><br>If you are looking for a heavy built or state-of-the-art body work male, Enio would not impress you much. He is slightly underweight by what many call "normal" and he seems to know that for he chooses clothes that are bright and colorful. As he puts it, "they make me look less elegant than I really am". He usually fashions himself with&nbsp; mustache and a beard, but that is not permanent and he would shave&nbsp; just to tend upon them again.<br><br><strong>Character:</strong><br>Enio is sharp and a fast thinker. He talks sometimes in a stingy way for the fun and the laughs that usually follow, but which may quickly turn to irony when he feels attacked and joked upon. He is not the fighting type, but he is brave and voices his thoughts with not much worry of someone disliking them. His laughter is loud and usually contagious even for the poker-faced ones.<br><br><strong>Profession:</strong><br>Astrobiology and genetics engineering. He is also quite well versed in physics, his profession makes use of equipment which work on measurements taken by means of probabilistic methods and principles. This suits him quite well for his "hobby science", astrophysics.<br><br><strong>Background:</strong> <br>Enio was born on Sol3a, or what is classically known as "The Moon". Extremely curious as a kid, at the age of 4 he would break the toy cars just to find out how the "engine sound" was produced. Life was not much of a flower bed for him. His father was a technician at the "Vesuvia" underground oxygen recycling facility and he was among the busiest people on the Moon at the facility, which had to keep up with always increasing numbers of people living there and the supplies needed to be sent elsewhere in the system where oxygen was not possible to be produced or extracted on-site and needed to be shiped from other locations. In that same facility happened his first encounter with pure, fresh and unaltered flora, nearly identical to the original variants that populated Earth in its prime. The Moon facilieties held zealous pride on their reputation for preserving anything they could as undisturbed from technology and modification as possible. Since then he never ceased to ask and learn and study for all that had to do with life and "the bio dimension" in his mind. During his studies in "Gaia" University in Mars, he was among the best students and immediately after his graduation he participated in numerous projects throughout every second hand moon of the Solar System experimenting environment germination and terraforming through genetically altered organisms.<br><br><br>He volunteered himself to be part of the "Exodious" and checking his academic record, his request was accepted with enthusiasm.<br><br>(http://slog.thestranger.com/files/2007/05/pink%20buscemi-thumb.jpg)<br><hr><strong>User:</strong> KaraKess <strong><span class="bbc_u">(NO LONGER PARTICIPATING.

His parents were soldiers in the army, his mother was a medic but she died in child birth, while his father was an elite soldier that was hardly on the space station for very long. Eric's Aunt took care of him while his father was away. His Aunt put him in boot camp at the age of 8. In boot camp he was taught how to survive on foreign planets and a good bit of combat skills. At the age of 17 he was put into a real life simulation of survival on a foreign planet, He was the second best in his class. After that simulation he was allowed to leave the station. He grew a love of music on the moon where he joined the crew of The Exodious.<br><br>(http://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-images/Arts/Arts_/Pictures/2008/03/10/goth460.jpg)<br><hr><strong>User:</strong>Dracoat (NPC)<br><strong>Name:</strong> Ander Fenris<br><strong>Age:</strong> 42<br><strong>Gender:</strong> Male<br><br><strong>Physical Traits:</strong><br>&nbsp;6'5", Lean and wiry, Hair is military high and tight, eyes: green, dark skin tan.<br><br><strong>Character:</strong><br>Usually serious but not overbearingly so. Keeps a clear calculated mind in most situations that don't involve the death of his charges. Has a tendency to take on a patriarchal tone to most people. <br><br><strong>Profession:</strong><br>Ship captain, trader, mercenary, black market runner, police agent.<br><br><strong>Some Background:</strong><br>Ander's background is riddled with misdemeanors and police infractions. As a child, Ander was raised in one of the roughest places known to support humans. The Asteroid known as Anterra 4, the first three having nuked themselves from existence. He was brought up to be a pirate, but he resented it. Vids of the colonies showed him how hard life is to live as an outlaw, so he took to black market running at 12 to make enough money to bribe his way into easy living. 3 years later and he was a mercenary making dives through Earth's atmosphere for scientists. The next year he was a police agent roaming the area around Mars. 4 years after that that he switched to being a space trader. By the time he was 20, his fame was so established in the underground that the recruiters for the Exodious project had him acquired by the military. He willfully signed up, not just because of the massive benefits he was given, but also for the chance to live the unknown life adventures again. <br><br>As an captain with no time served, he was immediately set upon by the senior officers. They dogged him and tried to make him feel ashamed. He fired back, not with words, but with outstanding performances in all categories. The Exodious heads were so impressed they named him the Exodious' captain. After his two years of service he stepped onto the Exodious a hero. He was to be portrayed as the biggest success story of the century to come.<br><hr>

				Acute observation my friend, but the Char sheets I will post on my first post, so unless you changed your profile to display everything new at the top, then they will stay in the first post. And if you did change, then just got to the last post. Same thing. And yesh, OOC chatter can be chatted about here.

				So the area where the cryo pods are is more or less like this picture from the movie Avatar (http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091205191513/jamescameronsavatar/images/e/e7/Insideisv.jpg), but with the addition of an atrium and chaos throughout the ship?<br><br>Is the atrium big at all?

				I hope you don't mind, but I have a few questions before I jump into the IC thread.<br><br>- Are all the main characters fronzen in cyrogenic chambers directly adjacent to each other? Because as written it seems like everyone saw the same unfortunate running crewmember who was killed by the gravity fluctuation. Also, that would mean my assumption of rotational gravity in the party thread was wrong--I think it will help us avoid confusion if you were to correct player mistakes about the setting as they happen.<br><br>- Does the ship have escape pods, and if so can they get through atmospheric re-entry and be directed around in the atmosphere at all? also would they be mere drop-pods or ships that can actually land and take off repeatedly in their own right?<br><br>- I'm not entirely certain what sort of tech level we're dealing with in this setting--for example, in Ellen's background, taking eight months to recover from bullet wounds seems a bit excessive for future medicine. As for my part, I assumed this was a mostly hard sci-fi setting based on the lack of FTL and the story tropes, but artificial gravity tends to be more toward the soft end.

				Oh, I figure I should probably ask what sort of average speed the colony ship was going, since that would dictate how many light years we are from the Sol system and therefore how long it would take to send a radio message warning about what happened. (although I don't know if there might be some sort of way to send a message that's faster-than-light in this setting). I figure the speed of the colony ship has got to be some significant fraction of <em>c,</em> or else we could not reach a star in only two decades. Though our speed can't be too high since there was apparently no time dialation worth mentioning.<br><br>Also, to Eliza, I hope you didn't mind me bringing that up, it just struck me as something that could use clarification.<br><br>One last question, is it acceptable to finish up in the party thread while the main thread is going? I'd like to finish Sarah's conversation with Richard just so I know where they stand when the main thread starts.<br><br>

				I feel so much the failure right now. T.T&nbsp; I'lll get to work right away. and yes, we can be slow with the main thread to allow any loose ends to be tied up in the pre launch. If you feel the same Eliza, then I'll post if you do.<br><br>Edit: Ok, more clarification added and the gravity part reworded on main thread. Again, if anyone else has any questions, please let me know ;)

				To add on the coments that Joslyn has made, so we can create an idea of what to do and how.<br><br>Lets take the unit measure of one light year (1ly). It is a distance around 9460800000000 km.<br>If we travel by conventional speeds of 2000km/s, this distance can be performed in around 150 years.<br>If this same distance was to be traveled in 20 years (the timespan of the Exodius travel) the ship would have to be traveling at 0.991c which is .... let's say impressive.<br><br>If we make the conventional speed not 2000km/s but 20000km/s we can basically reduce the figures. But before I calculate them, also know that the nearest star to the Sun is Proxima Centauri, at about 4.2 - 4.3 ly. The next nearest is 6 ly and the other next nearest is 8 ly.<br><br>I would think that we don't aim the Exodius for more than these. FTL travel is just a huge portal to a lot of speculation and what-not fenomena which I alone can logically deduce in that "what if" situation, if you let me lose and take away that limit, the first one being going back in the past. You allow FTL travel, you have to allow returning to the past, it's the same fenomena advertising itself in two different manners. A myriad of other sorts of paradoxes will follow. This for me is just speculating more than needed.<br><br>So we have to decide (well, the GM has to ;D ) what do we want and how to plan our mental set. For me so far, I am prepared that the Exodius is a one way trip, lasting 20 years for those onboard but only because of cryogeny, in reality have passed around 300-400 years, the ship has been traveling by conventional speeds with a maximum of 0.86c which would have a relativistic factor of 2 (twice the weight of everything, twice the time elapsed back in earth, traveling distance half of what is measured from Earth, etc), and messaging back to Earth would take 4-8 years for one way and 8-16 for the reply to arrive. These are rough figures, but which I can refine if needed.<br><br>What do you think?

				Well... lets just say that the ship goes really fast for now. Like I said, Cryogen and Engine tech skyrocketed. It's a one way trip, with status updates sent every day, one way. I'm drawing the line on this one. I could just say it pulled some wacky FTL/Warp/spacefold/teleport tech, but I chose to keep it semi-realistic. How it got there doesn't really matter for this RP.

She contemplated whether to continue in the field, worrying her family, or leave it entirely. During her rehabilitation, the lead CSI, Ellen's boss, offered her a chance to be one of thousands on board the <em>Exodious</em>.

				<br>I would say that Enio is not technically outside. As he was part the first patch of people who woke up from cryogeny, some two days before the crash, he was away in a different section of the ship, more in the midle so to speak, where the living quarters are. Being among the firsts, he was also subject to the most rigorous and numerous tests and health checks, to look what to expect as well from the others who would awake next, to see whether any anomalies had developed, etc.<br>&nbsp;So basically, he is not outside but he is at the very edge where destruction from the crash has ceased to be completely obliterous. He is inside, but the place is completely torn and twisted and ripped appart so he can see outside from cracks and openings through all the layers of the ship. Maybe if he crawled and twisted inside the openings and then climbing on towards some others, he can, but this I can not know. Sort of like being in a ruin after an earthquake has brought down most everything around him, but he has found a patch of space where he was just fortunate to be in. If it is ok, his location is like 300-500 m away from where the cryogeny storage 2 and 3 are, and where most everyone else might be.<br><br>Is this acceptable ?
