Also, does the robot body Olorisa has have built in weapons, or is it meant to just carry a rifle?

One thing I was RPing was that the sensors aren't working very well in the swamp which is why they needed to get a spotter to find a water source. Not a major issue.

Lol, since there wasn't an announcement made, just a siren, I think it's reasonable to assume that some people have got accidentally left off the ship Isn't chaos fun? ***

Not sure about the robotic body... I think they were just carrying weapons but honestly I don't think it matters too much. Just write it however you would like it to be.

*** And just before we go any further I would like to ask people to please let us know on the OOC which of your characters are on the ship and which aren't at the point that Olorisa heads for the river.

From my ones:

On the ship: Vrondich and Rabaech
Off the ship: Thanica

And looking back through the posts I just realized the intention was for Thanica to go scout out a place for her... I really messed this one up...

When you first went in you would have been in Kiellar custody, though there are no guards now which implies something strange has happened.

There are locked blast doors at either side of the room and cameras watching what is going on. While you can't get out, people can see in (and will open the doors in a moment). What you do to get attention is over to you and an opportunity to develop your character.

Also bear in mind there are two Ragons on the ship who are the traditional predators of the Dhasath. While your character isn't in actual danger, you don't know that yet!

To make your IC intro? Yes.

If you are interested, the Discord is also very active and a good way to plan involvement

Strengths and Weaknesses

Skills:
Tinker: He can figure out how most mechanical machines work if explained, and be able to tinker on them. He has some knowledge on computer maintenance.
Autism: His autism allows him to be smarter than most.
Runner: He is a natural runner. He can run 225 meters at 5.9 mph.
Weaknesses:
Autism: His autism hinders his social skills, and may often make him react to situations differently than he should. It also makes him do stupid things in situations sometimes.
Heavy Sleeper: He normally needs a loud alarm clock to wake him up. If someone tries to wake him up normally by talking to him, he won't actually wake up. Most of his consciousness is still asleep, so he needs something to shock him awake, i.e. water, something cold or hot, loud noises, or the scent of good food.

---

Background:
[list]Role on Ship: Prisoner
Crimes Committed: Entering Military No-Go Zone
Personality: He is very much a nerd at heart. He's easily excited by science fiction and fantasy. But because of a traumatic early life, he is slightly insane. This is mostly hidden by his way of speaking. He frequently downplays his looks, and sometimes his worth in life.
Backstory: He was born in December, 2000 AD, in Oklahoma. He lived most of his pre-puberty life in peace. When he was 14, his parents divorced. His father left the state, while Lee stayed with his mother in Oklahoma. For the next three years he was in a sort of depression. Then he seemed to find something to stck to, and keep him distracted, his job. He first worked with computers, performing general repairs and cleanings. Then he got into college, going with a major in Mechanical Engineering. He passed with flying colors, and got his degree. Fast forward a few years, and he somehow became one of the colonists on the Destiny.

• Destiny was a science and exploration ship, rather than a colony ship.
  
• I'm assuming that this is at the high functioning end of the autism spectrum?
• Please define 'slightly insane'.
• You might want to increase the running speed. 5.9 mph is a quick jog (it's about the median speed for running a marathon) and 225 metres is a sprinting distance which a quick runner would manage in about 30 seconds (16.8 mph).
