You still have a reference to a lightsabre. And a mystery tablet (which I'm assuming is JARVIS) - you don't have anything when you wake up in this RP. Just a nondescript jumpsuit. There is a reason for this but I'm not going to explain it as that is part of the plot.

If you insist on a future character, and I strongly recommend you don't as you haven't been in an Andromedaverse RP before, you will need to make them match one of the two timelines. There are only two in the Andromedaverse, which again is a plot point for Icarus.

The Alpha timeline has a mission to Mars get lost in a wormhole in 2026 and return in 2027 with alien tech. Humanity colonists Mars, Europa, Titan and Enceladus in the following decades (not the moon). Humanity doors not leave the solar system or make contact with alien life outside of the 2026-7 expedition. There is an alien invasion in 2128.

I'm the Beta timeline the crew that returns in 2027 come with alien allies who construct a station in Sol that they eventually sell to the UN. In this timeline earth uses its position by the wormhole (which it doesn't have the technology to utilise in the Alpha timeline) to set itself up as a major trade hub. In this timeline it had better tech and also colonises the moon, Gannymede and Callisto. Mars is fully twirled and declares independence in 2115. There are large numbers of alien settlers in this timeline.

These are very short versions. If you want to go with one of these, let me know and I'll send you a link to the full descriptions.

On another note, the Daily Carrot was the first P2tM RP I was in. My character was a ludicrously young reporter of Voxijan ancestry.

To elaborate, this setting has its own canon and there are two timelines that we are accepting characters from. Follow one of them, and we don't particularly care which. This isn't some multiverse RP where you can throw down any character you want and be accepted. The lore here isn't dense. TBG's OP (which was provided to you earlier) gives you a decent idea of what Beta Timeline is like while The Endless Knot's OP gives you a good idea of what Alpha Timeline is like.

Ultimately, there was a reason why we recommended that players new to this group of RPs avoid playing a future character, and there is more than one app that demonstrates why.

Character Description
    Name: Hayden R. Magnifico
    Gender: Male
    Appearance:
    Philipno American with the more American style with Black hair. 5 feet 9 inches tall. 73.2(He never looks at his weight until the end of the month!!)

    Original Lifespan: (1994-2094)
    Biological Age now: 30


Strengths and Weaknesses
    Skills: How Hayden himself is really the guy that does drama. And he uses his laserswordLightsaber(or so he calls it) to just save people...but this one only has his math, science, and an unknown notebook(TG me if you want to know). No lightsaber....tho
    Weaknesses: Well.... too scared to say it but, ¨he is nervous around other people he is attracted to.¨ Teases people all the time with it but his only weakness.


Background:
    Backstory: He was born in 1996 to Roy and Lucy(He had no idea what his mom´s first name) which at a young child, his father died for unknown reasons. When he was 5, he made friends with Billy which they would be like brothers. After 2 weeks, his mom was murdered by the group, Black Showdor before the Police can show up. For the rest of his life, HRM has spent his time trying to see what's out there among the stars. But when his new ship Starliner was done...he visited the moon again in 2024 after SpaceX landed theirs. As soon as they landed a moon base in 2028, he moved there and spent the rest of his life there. But the many things he knew were about Multiversal, Intergalactic Multiversal, and Aliens(He never done anything else except staying on the moon.(Beta Timeline)
    Cause of death: Died of Old Age


Speaking strictly as a player, it feels like you're trying to inject your own canon into our setting, whether or not it meshes in with what we've already established.

Let me just emphasize the parts of the app that I believe Bing and Dyelli are asking you to change.


Skills: How Hayden himself is really the guy that does drama. And he uses his laserswordLightsaber(or so he calls it) to just save people...but this one only has his math, science, and an unknown notebook(TG me if you want to know). No lightsaber....tho


In one sentence, you say he has a "lightsaber", and the next, you say he doesn't. The "unknown notebook" thing is just baffling. There's no need to keep the contents of it a secret in the app. Not that the setting of this specific RP would allow your character to keep his "lightsaber" or "unknown notebook" after his death, so there's no point mentioning those things at all.

But the many things he knew were about Multiversal, Intergalactic Multiversal, and Aliens(He never done anything else except staying on the moon.(Beta Timeline)


1. The number of people in the beta timeline who know anything about "multiversal" anything is almost certainly able to be counted on one hand (Dye or Bing can correct me if I'm wrong), and you've not given any justification for why your character would be one of those people.

2. Literally everyone knows about aliens in both timelines, after their respective Carter expeditions. Saying that he "knows about aliens" is like saying he "knows about black people", in that it doesn't need to be said. Maybe if he had died before the arrival of the Defiance, and had somehow known about aliens, that would be worth noting, but you'd still have to justify it.

Somewhere far away, I think I heard a desperate cry for a straight woman, and as soon as I read into the rp I got an idea for a native American character ;p now I just need to read up on the ic to figure out what the heck is going on
Character Description
    Name: Tayen
    Gender: a very straight wamen
    Appearance:
    (Too lazy to figure out a description, so just a pic for now)
    Tayen

    Original Lifespan: 1527-1548
    Biological Age now: 28


Strengths and Weaknesses
    Skills: She excels at archery and hunting. She has excellent knowledge of survival survival skills, herbal remedies, and wildlife, and has considerably good hearing.
    Weaknesses: She's not proficient in speaking or writing English, as it is not her primary language, and is generally very reserved about conversation and speaking, which may be mistaken as shyness. She is also totally unaware of most modern technologies, as well as significant historical importances.


Background:
    Backstory: Born on a clear night, Tayena was given her name as a symbol of the new moon on the night she was born by the chieftain of her tribe, and later her hidden name of Citana for the stars in the sky by her mother.

    Growing up in the blackwater tribe, Tayena was decided to be the wife of the chieftain's son from a young age, and thus she had to become a capable wife for the future of her tribe. She learned and studied heavily on the survival skills her tribe passed through its members until she was proficient, and when the chieftain's son began to hunt, she accompanied him and learned alongside him and the tribesmen hunting. Through much convincing, she got her hands on a bow from the tribe and began hunting with the men herself. Though not as skilled as the chieftain or his son, she showed immediate skill in the bow and even excelled past some of the tribe's hunters.

    At the age of 16, she became the wife of the chieftain as he rose to power in the tribe, and they shared their hidden names as a vow to each other and began to lead the tribe together. They led the blackwater tribespeople for 2 years before european settlers came across their people in a forest nearby. Though cautious attempts at peace were made, they were brutally attacked in the night before the chieftain was killed and Tayena taken away along with other women from her tribe.

    She was later sold to an english colonist and became a prized possession of his. Though she learned to read, write, and speak a little english, the abusive treatment she endured forced her into the subservient lifestyle and she had to adapt to her new environment. Suffering through embarrassment and humiliation as the pet of a wealthy owner, she kept her tribe's practices close to her as a grip on her sanity.

    Some years later, in the haze that Tayena lived, her owner led her away from their house to a dingy alley, where she was subsequently beaten by unknown men as her owner watched. Taking in pained breaths, she stubbornly held on to her consciousness as long as she could before everything began to fade away.
    Cause of death: Beaten to death.

Character Description
    Name: Alexei Olegovich Chernenko
    Gender: Male
    Appearance:
    Original Lifespan: 1916-1950
    Biological Age now: 26


Strengths and Weaknesses
    Skills:

    Firearms Training: As a (former) soldier of the Red Army, Alexei has been professionally trained in the firearms department. He can use rifles, machine guns, and pistols with more or less equal skill.

    Tank Driving: Alexei was the driver of a T-34 tank during the Second World War. His tank was not just any run of the mill one either, as he and his crewmates were amongst the elites of the Red Guards.

    Close Quarters Combat: Part of basic training. He could wield a knife with rather unnerving skill, though he clearly doesn't really like it. He prefers either shooting things or running them over.

    Musician: Before the war began, Alexei was a skilled pianist, as well as a tenor nearly befitting of the Moscow Opera.

    Weaknesses:

    Honesty: One might say that honesty is the best policy, but sometimes, it isn't. Alexei is a little too open of a book, and could potentially end up leaking secrets on accident. May cause major scandals and embarassment.


Background:
    Backstory: Alexei was born in Karkov, Ukraine, during the 31st of October, 1916. His parents were Oleg and Anya; simple folk that came from the countryside to the south to find work in the city. They had since become rather well off, and they watched along with the rest of the nation as the First World War and the October Revolution turned the Empire into a Union.

    Truly, there is not much to be said about Alexei's early life. He had five siblings, three brothers and two sisters, though poor Zhenya and Katya died in childhood. Alexei really liked to drive uncle Pyotr's tractor around, though. Driving big and unwieldy vehicles around seemed to be one passion of his, so when he joined the Red Army, it would be in the tank corps. Alexei would be known there to be one of the more skillful operators, and was well liked by his peers on the training grounds.

    During the onset of the Second World War, he would be amongst those units that participated in the invasion of Poland. Not much happened after that… until the Third Reich launched Operation Barbarossa. He and his comrades were deployed to defend the motherland against the encroaching German forces as the crew of an utterly disgraceful T-35 tank with five turrets. Their tank didn't see any meaningful action against the Germans; instead, it broke down while driving towards a village that was under attack. With no spare parts to fix it, it was simply destroyed before it could be captured, though Alexei remarked at that moment that the Germans would not want to take such a useless pile of junk.

    Still, they pressed on, proceeding towards the town to reinforce the defenders already present. However, it was already lost, and the order to retreat was given. He would be able to fight on several small skirmishes, yes, but again and again, they had to retreat as one by one, all of his comrades fell in battle until he alone remained of his old crew. Alexei himself was injured with a bullet narrowly missing his heart and another lodging in his leg. He had to undergo an excruciating surgery where the damn pieces of lead were removed. He lived, though, and was transferred to a military hospital in for about a year, where he recovered.

    It was in 1943 when he was finally deemed ready to return to the frontline. He was assigned to a new crew, and a new tank. He would fight in Kursk's grand tank battle, and as the war went on, Alexei and his comrades would eventually roll up into the gates of Berlin itself. It would be here that he witnessed the end of the conflict and the final victory of the Soviet Union.

    He would return home, but there wasn't any home left. His parents had become collateral damage in the war, and his brothers were all dead as they too fought in battle. His one remaining sister, who was a sniper at the Battle of Stalingrad, had been captured and killed by the Wehrmacht in that same battle. He had musical talent, though, so Alexei went and played for the radio station in Karkov. That would be what he did for the rest of his life, if he hadn't told one of his old crewmates while under alcoholic influence that he thought Comrade Stalin was, quote, "a cruel fool that used his people as puppets". Hours later, the NKVD crashed into his home and brought him to an open field, where they shot the tired veteran in the head.

    Cause of death: Executed for 'treason against the Soviet Union' and 'blaspheming Comrade Stalin'.

Character Description
    Name: Alexei Olegovich Chernenko
    Gender: Male
    Appearance:
    Original Lifespan: 1916-1950
    Biological Age now: 26


Strengths and Weaknesses
    Skills:

    Firearms Training: As a (former) soldier of the Red Army, Alexei has been professionally trained in the firearms department. He can use rifles, machine guns, and pistols with more or less equal skill.

    Tank Driving: Alexei was the driver of a T-34 tank during the Second World War. His tank was not just any run of the mill one either, as he and his crewmates were amongst the elites of the Red Guards.

    Close Quarters Combat: Part of basic training. He could wield a knife with rather unnerving skill, though he clearly doesn't really like it. He prefers either shooting things or running them over.

    Musician: Before the war began, Alexei was a skilled pianist, as well as a tenor nearly befitting of the Moscow Opera.

    Weaknesses:

    Honesty: One might say that honesty is the best policy, but sometimes, it isn't. Alexei is a little too open of a book, and could potentially end up leaking secrets on accident. May cause major scandals and embarassment.


Background:
    Backstory: Alexei was born in Karkov, Ukraine, during the 31st of October, 1916. His parents were Oleg and Anya; simple folk that came from the countryside to the south to find work in the city. They had since become rather well off, and they watched along with the rest of the nation as the First World War and the October Revolution turned the Empire into a Union.

    Truly, there is not much to be said about Alexei's early life. He had five siblings, three brothers and two sisters, though poor Zhenya and Katya died in childhood. Alexei really liked to drive uncle Pyotr's tractor around, though. Driving big and unwieldy vehicles around seemed to be one passion of his, so when he joined the Red Army, it would be in the tank corps. Alexei would be known there to be one of the more skillful operators, and was well liked by his peers on the training grounds.

    During the onset of the Second World War, he would be amongst those units that participated in the invasion of Poland. Not much happened after that… until the Third Reich launched Operation Barbarossa. He and his comrades were deployed to defend the motherland against the encroaching German forces as the crew of an utterly disgraceful T-35 tank with five turrets. Their tank didn't see any meaningful action against the Germans; instead, it broke down while driving towards a village that was under attack. With no spare parts to fix it, it was simply destroyed before it could be captured, though Alexei remarked at that moment that the Germans would not want to take such a useless pile of junk.

    Still, they pressed on, proceeding towards the town to reinforce the defenders already present. However, it was already lost, and the order to retreat was given. He would be able to fight on several small skirmishes, yes, but again and again, they had to retreat as one by one, all of his comrades fell in battle until he alone remained of his old crew. Alexei himself was injured with a bullet narrowly missing his heart and another lodging in his leg. He had to undergo an excruciating surgery where the damn pieces of lead were removed. He lived, though, and was transferred to a military hospital in for about a year, where he recovered.

    It was in 1943 when he was finally deemed ready to return to the frontline. He was assigned to a new crew, and a new tank. He would fight in Kursk's grand tank battle, and as the war went on, Alexei and his comrades would eventually roll up into the gates of Berlin itself. It would be here that he witnessed the end of the conflict and the final victory of the Soviet Union.

    He would return home, but there wasn't any home left. His parents had become collateral damage in the war, and his brothers were all dead as they too fought in battle. His one remaining sister, who was a sniper at the Battle of Stalingrad, had been captured and killed by the Wehrmacht in that same battle. He had musical talent, though, so Alexei went and played for the radio station in Karkov. That would be what he did for the rest of his life, if he hadn't told one of his old crewmates while under alcoholic influence that he thought Comrade Stalin was, quote, "a cruel fool that used his people as puppets". Hours later, the NKVD crashed into his home and brought him to an open field, where they shot the tired veteran in the head.

Character Description
    Name: Hans Dietrich
    Gender: Male
    Appearance:
    Image

    Original Lifespan: 1912-1944
    Biological Age now: 32


Strengths and Weaknesses
    Skills: Having been the captain of a German U-Boat for two years, and having been trained for four years as a naval cadet before that, Hans had developed the leadership skills needed during times of duress. His subbordinates saw him as a strict, but fair captain (almost fatherly), and their subsequent confidence in him garnered loyalty to him. His years of service in the Kreigsmarine also made him adept at nautical navigation (including dead reackoning), naval tactics (specificially U-Boat tactics), and at managing a naval vessel.
    Weaknesses: Having had a military upbringing for most of his life, Hans hasn't developed the political skills to practice tact, and at times is rather upfront and blunt on matters, especially if they are life and death situations. His experiences in the Battle of the Atlantic have also made him develop a general sense of pessimissim and nhilism, especially when it comes to inept military or political leadership.


Background:
    Backstory: Born in 1912 to a military family in Munich, Dietrich knew nothing but the militaristic lifestyle his father had taught him. His father served in the Great War, and his father before him served in the Franco-Prussian War. Even further lineage went as far back to the Napoleonic Wars. Unlike his father or his grandfather, however, Hans had the distinct fascination with the ocean, reading books such as Treasure Island, or books on Nelson, or even naval history in general.

    This fascination stuck with him to his enlistment in 1932, where he enlisted in the Reichsmarine as an officer cannidate, completing basic training in six months. He was then promoted to sea cadet and attended officer's training for a year, before attending two more years of at-sea training, earning the rank of Leutenant zur See once his training was complete. Shortly afterwards, he was deployed to various posts for a year, getting promoted to Oberleutenant zur See for his time in service in the process. He then applied to the submarine branch in 1937.

    His first post in the submarine branch was as an XO on board U-73, a type VIIB U-Boat. He was there for one patrol before he was assigned his own own command on U-201, a type VIIC U-Boat, state of the art for 1940. During this time, he participated in eight successful patrols in the Western Approaches, and in the Mid-Atlantic during the "good times", quickly getting promoted to Kapitänleutnant for the numerous tonnage he sank during these patrols. During these times, he would also take on a war correspondant for a patrol or two to document the experiences during this time. Although he was offered a promotion to Korvettenkapitän in 1932 in exchange for transfer off of U-201, he decided to stay out of an obligation for his men, turning down the promotion.

    As the Battle of the Atlantic dragged on however, the tides of war began to turn for the Kriegsmarine. The number of friends he knew in his younger years would become smaller as they fell victim one by one to the ever-evolving anti-submarine tactics the allied forces used. New skippers and new crew members would take their places, some of them young enough to be his children at some points, hand-picked from the Hitlerjungand and disturbingly loyal to the Riech. With much of his old crew dead or transferred, Dietrich would eventually accept the offer for promotion in exchange for a new command to another U-Boat instead of a desk job as U-201 was decomissioned from active service. He would take command of U-292, a type VIIC/41 U-Boat. Despite all of this, the instinct Dietrich had developed from his experiences made him worry that his time, along with his luck, was running out.

    On the evening of February 1944, his third patrol under U-292 would turn out to be his last. He and a wolfpack had found a convoy headed to the Western Approaches, and had moved in for the kill. Suddenly, Dietrich heard the ping of sonar hit his boat signifying his detection by a nearby sub. He quickly ordered for his boat to dive, cutting the engines in hopes the destroyers above wouldn't pick them up on the hydrophones as they drifted down to a thermal layer.With the invention of hedgehog mortars however, they didn't stand a chance. Soon they were bombarded, first with hedgehogs, then with depth charges as soon as the hedgehogs made contact with the boat, and more destroyers joined in on the hunt.

    Dietrich's boat was taking on water quickly, as the depth meter rapidly rose beyond the normal crush depth of his boat. As he heard the creaking of the bulkheads around him, Dietrich realized this was the end. As they continued to sink further below the waves, he quietly accepted his fate as the men around him paniced and sparks flew around them, the resulting implosion happening so quickly, he barely registered any pain as he met his end.

    Cause of death: Implosion from sinking to crush depth from depth charges.
