[An RP inspired by Mothership Zeta]

I am in the process of developing an RP in which a small handful of BonBon citizens are abducted by aliens.

Your character will awake in an unusual room after being taken in the dead of night from their home in BonBon. What your character does is up to you. Escape and try to take control of the ship in order to return home? Or stay in your cell and await your fate?

The idea is still little more than that, an idea. Feel free to discuss things and throw around ideas. There will be 5 slots for this RP. I will not be taking part in it in the usual sense. My character will not be a part of the group, however, that does not mean I will not be in the RP. I will control the ship and its crew as well as a unique character for a brief period should he be discovered.

There will be a posting order. The only one who may post outside this order will be myself as I will post regular posts detailing the current goings on of the ship such as environment descriptions, patrol movements, alarms and other such details.

Alright. So we have Dorian, Mayfield and Pachs ready to join. Just need 2 more.

Actually, make it 3.

Please, don't leave me out. I bet this roleplay topic will be really fun. I will take the fifth slot. I cannot wait to see how you will describe your little creature come from an another world.

J'imagine déjà tout plein de clichés.

S.P.P.

all right add me as the last one i guess kicking some alien ass might be fun in it's way.

And that makes 5. Alright. I'll start working on some stuff, such as ship design and alien design. I'll leave the 6th slot open for anyone else who wishes to join before I start the RP itself. This may take a day or two while my slow ass actually does something.

If anyone has suggestions they would like to make, feel free to post them. Any suggestions to a thread title would also be appreciated.

Posting order is:

Dorian
Mayfield
Pachs
Catherine
Dragonfly

This is not a set order. You may post "out of turn" if you desire. But I ask that you try to stick to the "posting order" to make things less chaotic. Remember that if you do post out of order, you may not post again until the remainder of the list has posted. You may also postpone your post to later in the list. If you get skipped, I will automatically postpone your post, giving you a second chance to post before the cycle ends.

If you have any questions about my rambling, just ask.

Well I have some ideas

*Fallout 3 Mother-ship Zeta Spoilers*

Well there is a part where some of the people you deal with are awoken out of cryostasis. Maybe that might be a good place to start us in....Or you could do the other way like how they started the DLC and make us put into our own Cells maybe.

Or you could have us described how we got abducted maybe; like what we where doing then suddenly we get abducted.

I was planning on having each character wake in their own cell. I'm still debating on whether to have posters start with going to bed then waking up in the cell or just start waking up. Either way, the characters know nothing of what has happened to them as they were abducted while they slept.

That sounds good to me.

My biggest problem is thinking of a design for the ship. Once that is done, things should move swiftly and I can start the thread.

... play Mothership Zeta. There's your ship design. :D

I'm not trying to base this on Mothership Zeta. The idea is only inspired by it.

>_< Oh well, I'm sure you can come up with something good.

Mayfield wrote: >_< Oh well, I'm sure you can come up with something good. I've decided to go with the classic saucer design. I've designed the lower deck, where everyone will begin, and will post it in a moment along with the beginning post. From there I will continue to design the ship and post them as needed.

I would like each poster to open with their character at home in the late evening and move on to them going to bed and ultimately waking from their sleep in their cell.

The 6th slot is closed. No one else may join the RP. Thank you to all those who have joined.

Alien profile:

Description: Each alien is aprox 4'2" tall. They are hairless and appear under-nourished. Though their bodies might look fragile, they are surprisingly resilient. They have dark blue skin and large oval shaped eyes with a stark mercury coloured surface. Their mouths are small and they have no obvious nose aside from two small holes spaced close together between their eyes. Their heads are large and sit in thin necks, making it look like their heads could easily loll to the side and snap the neck it sits on. Their fingers are long and spidery as well as nimble. They also have no obvious ears.

Demeanour: Curious and cautious, the aliens will group together when they feel threatened. If outnumbered and poorly armed, they will retreat. If backed into a corner, they are prone to acts of extreme and brutal aggression.

The scientists, those working on the lower deck, wear light blue suits that seem to cling to their bodies and have no apparent zippers or buttons. They usually carry long, nondescript rods with a small white ring around the end. These rods released electrical bolts that, while not lethal, are painful.

Please forgive the intrusion but I thought I could help with some visuals.

Silvador · Joined: 20 Oct 2009 Posts: 10872

Interesting. Thanks for those, T. I'll see if I can draw some inspiration from them.

I might actually be dropping out of this. I've lost interest in a lot of rp's recently.
