Character Description
    Name: Mothlua of Vubhe
    Species: Kiellar
    Gender: Female
    Age: 30
    Appearance:
    Image



Strengths and Weaknesses
    Skills: Mothlua is skilled in mathematics and problem-solving skills, an odd skill-set for a marine.
    Weaknesses: Mothlua can be quite absent-minded, something which may lead her to seem indifferent or incompetent depending on the role of the observer.


Background:
    Role on Ship: Crew, Marine
    Crimes Committed: N/A
    Personality: Mothlua has an outgoing personality, always searching for support from her peers. Her friends may call her an optimist or a pessimist depending on her mood. Her personality as an outgoing, absent-minded marine is rooted in her life's story.
    Backstory: Mothlua was born on the Kiellar home-world of Relenar. Her father, Vubhe, was a scientific individual, who was widely renowned for his contribution to Kiellar's scientific field. She was inducted into the Kiellar-Engineering Academy (KEA) at a very young age, where she was engineered for a scientific career. It all changed when she failed a standardized exam, one which would have allowed her to prosper as a top researcher, similar to her father's legacy. This failure ended with her being left with one available option, marine. Although on some worlds the marines may be seen as elite forces, that was not the case with the Kiellar. An informal synonym for Kiellar marine would be 'grunt'. Mothlua graduated from KEA at age 30 and was assigned to the Defiance as her first mission. This mission ended quite abruptly, thanks to a mutiny. Mothlua would have been killed, had she been on-duty at the time. The moment she left her quarters she was knocked unconscious by a 'merciful' prisoner who luckily wasn't hungry.

It might be better if I just dropped out of this RP. School's been keeping me really stressed lately and it makes it difficult to keep up with these things.

Set about a decade after the world becomes aware of the supernatural. Details on that will come later.

They're accepted! I'll update the front page shortly, when we get to chapter 3

It's also partly writers' block, I guess... if I come up with an idea for a post within a day or two I'll try to continue with this.

You know, I think I can get back into this, I just need an idea of what to do with Olorisa. Any ideas of a good situation to get her involved with?

I do have some ideas...

1. Her taking over the ship and locking Thanica out when they're trying to escape from someone. Potentially disastrous and a bit of a moral story about messing with technology you don't understand (the techs have just assumed an AI will be helpful).

2. I think it would help the RP if Olorisa got a synthetic body of some sort. Either something obviously robotic or something made to look human. That could be a goal for the next chapter.

3. Will Olorisa be looking at the alien life on the ship? If they acquire a camera system for security, that will probably be easier. Maybe team up with the Doctor to study subjects?

4. Can Olorisa understand the aliens, some of them or none of them? Learning to communicate could be an arc. You could base how much Olorisa understands of how much someone has conversed with the humans, making it possible to piece stuff together.

I'm going to give time for one or two more posts from everyone then skip things forward a bit to the next 'ground mission'.

At the same time I will also update the front two posts.

I'd also like to hear what people's opinions are on what to do with the two NPC crew members who New Udonia has adopted. New Udonia, do you want to keep them, name them and RP the group? Alternatively we can keep them up our sleeve to allow another player to take one over. Or we could have them leave the ship at the next ground mission?

Also, if you haven't made it to the Discord yet, I would very much recommend joining the channel. There is lots of chatter on characters, potential future storylines and some excellent concept art and music getting posted up there (thanks mostly to Arengin).

1. I could see that happening if things get really out of hand. It wouldn't be malicious, but instead an attempt to save the ship and crew, though it certainly might be seen as malicious.

2. She already has a hologram form, though I don't know if the ship has a hologram system or not. She can interact with things physically like this, but not in a way more violent than lightly pressing a button or something. She'll also run out of power pretty fast unless she's connected to something.

3. I guess I'd assumed there was already a camera system, especially considering this is a prison ship. She could team up with the doctor, and given the fact that she isn't 'fully' intelligent, it may be easier to keep her in the dark about where the 'subjects' come from.

4. Assuming she's been reprogrammed correctly, she should be able to use the translation software, but there will definitely be lots of fascinating things for her to learn about the aliens.

Are those the same two that had Thanica pinned before being threated by Sshalah?

On point 3 there is no camera system as it was designed for all the prisoners to be in stasis.

No objections here.

I'm expecting Thanica will end up with an 'et tu Brute?' moment for trusting this lot!

Do you think I should wait until the timeskip to post? I could do a recap of what she's been doing - figuring out the new ship and languages, mostly - and then get her involved in the new story arc.

I probably should have tried to post earlier, but now it's getting late and I'll have to wait until tomorrow. Sorry.

EDIT: Actually, scratch that. I'm not tired yet and I feel like writing, so let's see what I can get done...
