IC thread.
This thread is a sequel.
It seems the party has made good on their escape. The hell world, the planet with no name, the horror that whispers "Abaddon" into their nightmares is receding behind them, dwindling to just another shining speck in the cosmos. For the first time in days, they have food, they have water, they have shelter, they can sleep, eat and relieve themselves without having to check over their shoulders. They just might be safe.
But one thing they will learn is that no place is safe; only safer.
They are treated well, compared to the terrors they endured before, but saviors quickly become captors. Their guards push them into cells, and while no one can complain about having such luxuries as actual bedding, working plumbing and chilled, recycled air that's not mixed with the stench of offal and burning corpses, their status is clear. For a while, no one, from the weakest of the criminals to the strongest of the divinely blessed or psychically augmented, has the will or energy to fight something which seems like a blessing after their ordeal. But as time passes the questions arise, who are these people, why did they save them, and, perhaps most importantly, where are they going? But the stormtroopers give no clues, and attempts at escape are put down harshly.
At last, they arrive, not at planet, not at a moon or asteroid or even a station, but at another ship. This is the Spinor, a massive warship that takes on the ragged band of prisoners from their cell quarters. They are quickly moved through the halls and processed into the Star Destroyer's detention block, and taken to the lowest levels, down to solitary, shoved in two to a cell, and but for two meals a day, seemingly left to rot. The time has stretched endlessly, and their fascination and gratefulness for the luxuries afforded to them has stagnated into boredom and restlessness. Then, one day, the cell doors open.
And they know the true meaning of fear.
No Anesthesia players, you know the drill. Newcomers, the premise is that you have a character who has been incarcerated aboard this ship. It doesn't really matter who they are or why they're there, your character could be a cold-blooded killer who's been picked up because he/she/it actually deserves to be there, or your character could just be a random civilian captured by the Spinor, what you choose depends on your personal preferences. Obviously, it should be possible for the character to be captured in the first place, and it should be possible to hold them inside a cell without their escaping (or at least without their escaping successfully). From there you will join the general events as they occur, your only objective is simple: Survive. If the last thread is any indication, not all players will manage that, as if you go inactive without forewarning, I will kill off your character rather gruesomely, and unless I really like you, you will not get a second chance in this thread with that character.
The moderators of this thread will be myself and Xenohumanity.

Notes related to the template:
-There is a two character limit for all RPers, I want individuals, a duo if you absolutely have to, and no more than that. (As moderators, Xeno and I are exempt as we will need to RP NPC characters at various points.)
-The Powers section. I add this in because in the last thread we had some problems with excessive or poorly executed use of paranormal/supernatural powers, and I'd like them to be defined and cleared by myself or Xeno before we give you the okay. You are not obligated to give you character(s) powers. In fact, if you do give your character(s) powers, especially supernatural/paranormal powers, you had better believe you will be encountering at least one situation where they will be shut down, negated or otherwise rendered useless, so plan accordingly. Powers include but are not limited to supernatural/paranormal powers like magic, the Force and psychic abilities, tech-based powers including implants, augmentations and cybernetics, and natural powers such as organic defensive mechanisms, biologically stimulated growth/healing (i.e. shapeshifting) and heightened senses (nocturnal vision, hearing at very high/low frequencies, dog-like sense of smell).
My own character and example of a completed template:
Name: Sei Vydam
Age: Unknown (estimated by her self at 26)
Race: Unknown
Picture and/or physical description: Sei with a big-ass sword
Powers: Heightened sense of hearing and smell, nocturnal vision, slightly faster reflexes than the average human
Biography:
After making planetfall on what she called Charnel, Sei was beaten, raped, shot at, nearly blown up and almost killed more than a dozen times. She and a small party of prisoners managed to avoid both the guards and the other packs of prisoners for the first night, scavenging for food and steadily decreasing in number as the planet took its toll on the party. The anthro nearly lost her sanity after witnessing what seemed to be the death of a fellow survivor; the result of her delirium ironically lead to the mysterious ship, and the remaining members of the party were saved...or captured. At current time she has been reunited with the woman she thought she lost aboard the Spinor, and both are waiting to discover what their fate is meant to be. Though she is at the lowest point in her life, Sei is still determined that they will not take her without a fight...
