Voyages in Andromeda (FT Char RP|OOC, Signup, Open)

[Harbertia]

Sshalah is on the ship.

[Foxfound]

I probably could have worded that post a bit better, but I'm on mobile and my phone's acting weird. If there's anything I missed that would affect what Olorisa's doing I can edit it.

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

I actually had meant to have Olorisa give a warning over the intercom, but I forgot. I'll edit it in if you think it's okay, but if you'd rather I kept it the way it is now I will.

[Kylantha]

Both Sho'chawuk and Anja are not on the skeppe.

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...

It's alright, I find it more fun when people make mistakes. I made one a few posts back as well where I hadn't read that Carter had told people to deploy to defend the ship and assumed the whole crew had gone wandering off. Edit in/out anything you would like to edit, but I don't think you've messed up.

[Korhal IVV]

Are the engines of the jets loud enough for Yare to hear?

[Dyelli Beybi]

When they get close, yes.

[New Udonia]

Sorry for the late response. Cridrac is inside the ship. Mothlua, Vandul, and Rodu are outside of the ship.

[Research Outpost 31]

How should start?

[Dyelli Beybi]

Well, you will wake up in a stasis pod in a room full of other stasis pods. Your character might feel a bit cold, but since they are a Dhasath they probably won't find it too uncomfortable.

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!

Do I go to the IC thread?

Do I go to the IC thread?

To make your IC intro? Yes.

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

Thanks. See you tomorrow.

I made a quick edit, so now Olorisa's actually following instructions and had the decency to tell everyone they might get moving soon.

Lol super, though I liked the idea of people getting shut out and abandoned on an alien planet

I will edit the post I had planned.

[Foxfound]

So before I write up my post, one question. Has a spot to move the ship to been located yet?

[Dyelli Beybi]

Yes indeed, there is a river to the North, towards the bottom of p14 I think. Yare announced it from the air.

[Dyelli Beybi]

And now for something completely different

In the interests of supporting the good folk who make the Andromeda RP group so much fun to write in, I'd like to draw everyone's attention to a couple of other RPs that are being run at the moment:

A Warm Welcome from London is a character RP being run by Lessoni. If you have an itch for a steampunk character RP, this one should help fix the problem without needing to see a doctor. Writers take on the role of detectives combating crime in an alternative 1965 where muttonchops and glorious moustaches are still fashionable. The IC is already up and running.

First Contact is a sci-fi RP set on Earth in 1964, being run by Endem. It is another character RP though the IC is not currently up. If it interests you, you haven't missed anything yet.

[Arengin Union]

Just to you know Foxhound, me and the others will write Carter and Co arriving to the ship soon. So be ready, we'll all have to have take a pro active stance in order to save Thanica.

[Budraria]

Tag. If it's still open, I might jump out of my NS absence and join the RP.

There's always room for one more crew member in this merry band of renegades, ruffians, and general downtrodden rejects of society!

[Budraria]

Why thank ye.

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.

He looks fine.

Few small points I'd appreciate you having a look at before we start though:

• 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).
