With the discovery of the Gliese 581 solar system in 2010 and the realization for multiple of its planets to be potentially inhabitable, many governments around the earth created projects to develop spaceships capable of extremely long journeys. The progress of all of these projects was slow however until 2067 when a man named Allen Nikola made an invention that solved the problem of fuelling the ship and helping it maintain a fast enough speeds. He invented an engine that was capable of performing a 98% efficiency energy conversion from solar, thermal, or electric energy directly into kinetic energy. Once this was invented, work was started immediately on building a spaceship large enough to contain and maintain a functioning society. The ship was completed and all of its crew members were decided by 2114. The crew members of the ship consisted of thousands of extremely varying people picked out with the intention of representing humanity at its finest while still preserving every aspect of the various cultures across Earth. Without delay, the ship and it’s nearly 10,000 inhabitants left Earth and began its 96 year journey. The year is now 2200 and the ship has arrived in orbit around the planet Gliese 581 g. Through scans conducted from orbit, it has been discovered that Gliese 581 g is truly inhabitable as hoped for, and in fact, already is inhabited by multiple alien creatures, none of which seem very intelligent. The most advanced race on the planet seems to have just barely become sentient and started building primitive huts and communities. Now, a small team has been assembled with the purpose of doing detailed investigation of the various creatures on the planet and determining the best way to inhabit the planet. Each of the members in this group is equipped with two prototype weapons developed by the various engineers on the ship during the course of its journey. The first is a new type of space suit/ armor suit referred to as a “Power Suit” which is a flexible, yet armored suit equipped with various high tech devices including an electromagnetic energy shield designed to stop bullets and energy based blasts. In addition to this, individual Power Suits come with a variety of weapons and secondary equipment. The second weapon is a special device referred to as a “Manipulator.” A Manipulator makes a mental and physical connection with its user allowing it to be activated simply through thought and is capable of using its users own internal energy to fuel itself. Each individual Manipulator is capable of influencing a specific Physical property or force, such as: Density, Energy, Gravity, Electromagnetism, Pressure, Temperature, etc.

Example Character Sheet
Name: Allen Stefan Nikola
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Appearance: Has medium length, dirty blonde hair, blue eyes, and light skin. He is 5’6” and weighs 165 lbs. He wears a plain red T-shirt and black cargo pants.
Power Suit: Red primary color with dark grey accents. Design is similar to the original Gundam. Suit is equipped with Dual Slash Harkens(blades attached to steel cables that can be shot out at high speeds and then retracted back to their original position) mounted to the forearms, a shield mounted in the front of the suit to provide extra protection that can be removed and used normally, and a jet pack.
Manipulator Domain: Energy Manipulation (transforming various types of energy into other types. Example: transforming the kinetic energy from a punch into thermal energy to create fire.)
Secondary Weaponry: A beam sword that can be extended into a beam javelin.
Backstory: Allen is a descendant of the inventor of the ships engines who he is also named after. His mother was a Physicist and his father was an army Lieutenant. Allen would spend most of his time that he was away from classes either practicing with various weapons or observing some of the less secretive experiments which he had access to view. He got along well with other people and despite his love for weapons, usually resorted to the diplomatic options available instead of the violent ones. He would often help his mom and dad with experiments and would usually be the first to help test out new weapons such as the beam sword which he now carries. Because of his weapon training, affiliation with the military on board the ship, and diplomatic tendencies, he was chosen to be the leader of the small squad sent down to the planet’s surface to investigate the aliens.

Accepted Characters
Silver Tsumugari Name: Yumi Yasaki (nicknamed "Arrow") Age: 18 Gender: Female Appearance: She has long silver hair, complete heterochromia (blue left eye, amber right eye), long nails, sharp teeth, large breasts, and tribal tattoos under her eyes and on her cheeks. She is of average height for a Japanese girl of her age. She wears a highly-revealing top with a long sleeve and glove on her left arm, but no sleeve on the right arm, but a glove on the right hand; short skirt; refuses to wear underclothes; wears a black burglar-style skullcap; has an earpiece in her right ear, which holds a diagnostic lens over her right eye (provides technical/diagnostic data on whatever is being viewed; also has an earpiece in her right ear, which holds a microphone close to her lips, to allow for long-distance communication. Power Suit: It has the appearance of an anthropomorphic wolf, including: a muzzle; wolf ears that pick up the same level of sound as real wolf's do, allowing Yumi to hear better than normal; the feet are designed like an anthro wolf's back paws, requiring Yumi to stand on the balls of her feet when inside; and the hands look like those of an anthro wolf and have sharp claws at the fingertips. It also has a tail that moves on its own, but can be mentally controlled. The tail can open up to reveal a sharp blade that allows Yumi to defend herself from behind if necessary. However, it is difficult to control the tail and use forward attacks in unison. The left hand has a connector to attach her plasma bow so that she doesn't have to maintain grip on it. The back has two slots for her pair of oversized katana. Both palms have mini-cannons on them; the left is hidden under the attachment for the plasma bow, so when it is needed, the attachment slides down and lets the mini-cannon go to work. Manipulator Domain: Sound Secondary Weaponry: High-tech bow that fires plasma arrows that can fold up into the size of a disposable camera for ease of transport and can attach to the left hand of the Power Suit. She also has two oversized katana that she can only wield while in the Power Suit because of the size and weight. Back Story: Yumi is of Japanese heritage. Her family had clung to the old traditions from millennia ago, and emphasized that they did not approve of her liking of technology, despite the fact that she was born on the ship (no one is exactly sure why her ancestors began the journey in the first place, considering their dislike of technology). And because they clung to these traditions so dearly, Yumi decided simply defy everything. This is why she dresses the way she does (no one actually knows this outside of her family; most people think other things). However, this also lead to her apprenticing under the head technician on the ship, and to her designing the plasma bow on her own (her accuracy is what earned her the nickname "Arrow"). She is actually very pacifistic, but will fight when it is absolutely necessary. Most people think otherwise because she can have a bit of a temper. Most people see her as antisocial when looking from a distance, but if you are polite to her, she will be very kind to you and often has a hard time shutting up.
Twilight Outcast Name: Kristina Selena Kirin Age: 19 Gender: Female Appearance: Long black hair with a red strand covering her left eye, a Black jacket with a Family symbol on the sleeve, a Red T shirt with a Wolf on the Right part of the Chest and a fox on the other under It, and Skinny Black Jean. Has a belt that she normally forgets to take off from working on Weaponry and other stuff and other Various Tools she is borrowing for her more Electronic work. Height: 5'4" Weight: 125 lbs. Power suit: A white and Gun metal colored Knight Armor that is more technologically advanced with a Lance on the left arm that can Rotate so it will not always be in the way, a shield on the right arm that becomes as small as a Paper fan folded up when not needed, Small Wheels on the left foot and the right knee, and small thrusters on the back to rush at the enemy. Manipulator Domain: Air Secondary weaponry: Two M9 pistols. Back-story: Her father was one of the Most Recognized Scientist who worked on weapons. she loved Loud Noises and anything that made her Tinker with anything Weapon based would make her day. When she was 15 her father died and she took up his space at the Engineering of new Weaponry and Technology. Mostly shy, she would stay to her self. However even when she was a small girl she always wanted to see things she knew her Ancestors never could.
Blow_em_up Name: Anima Kerensky Age: 20 Gender: Female Appearance: Here's a pic: AppearancePower suit: Equipped with two slash harkens (those lovely harpoon launchers described from Allen's suit) on the forearms. They are designed with a more conductive tether to allow for more powerful combination attacks with the manipulators. The claw on her right arm is designed to be quite sharp for cutting and piercing, but have a strong grip strength and a direct link to the manipulator to allow for powerful electrified strikes. The wings on the back are a float pod that uses an ion drive that is powered by the suit's manipulator. This allows for flight capabilities. The legs have deployable wheels skates that allow for faster movement and for the sake of more maneuverability. The suit forgoes any other weapons systems to allow for the installation of a larger battery, as many of the suit's core functions either rely or are improved by her manipulator. Here's a pic: MechaManipulator Domain: Electromagnetism Secondary Weaponry: She carries around a gauss submachine gun as her side arm. Due to the fact that it is powered by an electromagnetic coil rather then explosives, it has virtually no recoil, but the rate of fire is slowed by a safety mechanism to avoid overheating. Backstory: Anima and her younger sister, Kallen were adopted by a gay couple aboard the ship. They live as a middle class family, with one of her fathers, Roy, being the owner of a popular coffee shop, and the other, Jordan, is a manager of an electronics store. Her parents are quite liberal, and gave her a great degree of freedom when it came to self expression, which, in turn, led to her rather unique look. Even at a young age, she was fascinated with technology. By the age of 17, she knew 18 different programming languages, and enough about electronics to top even many professionals. She was offered to join this expedition due to her advanced knowledge in electronic systems and programming, and ability to pick up on things quickly. Anima's natural curiosity (and the fact that she was told she'd get to use shiny, new gadgets) urged her to accept. She has a naturally effervescent personality, which has a tendency to either annoy people who think she's overly happy, or have people love her because she brings life to even the most serious situations.
Darith The Wanderer Name: Alexander Gold Age: 24 Gender:Male Appearance: Very strong and large, he is the perfect description of "Tank" his broad shoulders and armor make him tower over opponents. his face is always mean and grim except on the off-hand occasion where he may smile or chuckle to the situation Power suit: Completely red with the insignia of his country (the golden eagle) on his chest and on the shoulder is the symbol of his chapter of religion that he stands for the suit makes him physically stronger and heavier so hes hard to knock down however hes a bit slower making a more agile opponent get the best of him in close quarters combat. Power ArmorManipulator Domain: Density Secondary Weaponry: Bolter (an explosive round assault rife) and Chain sword (basically a chainsaw blade with a handle and a trigger) Backstory: While on the ship Alexander is on security detail basically keeping the peace in the unlikely scenario that "Pandorum" (space paranoia) could occur this was his ship objective as the training officer from his birth had told him. luckily he got the ending where this was almost an obsolete idea his main purpose would be on the ground where he would be defending the team while they study the indigenous people Alexander is also a true devout blood angel his religion which states "Burn the heretic. Kill the mutant. Purge the unclean." as its commandments and it worships an everlasting entity called the emperor who guides all his blood angels in glorious combat as well as watch over them from the force of chaos (very set on justice and law). Alexander had been drawn to this religion while searching through the cortex on the ship and at it's church on board he would seek it there too where he had become completely devout and has been given the ability to become a missionary for his religion which he generously took.
glith494 Name: Solomon Curie Age: 35 Gender: Male Appearance: This is what my appearance is. Power suit: The suit is panther black, and has a particle rifle in the right arm. The wings on its back allow for limited flight. It's visor is blood red, and has a multitude of settings. To include normal, nightvision, thermal, and it includes a targeting computer with magnification.

Kristina would sigh seeing the data pad, but got ready all the same Putting the tools she took from the Weapon development department hoping it wouldn't take long and she could get back to work as she headed to the location on the data pad.

I get up, get dressed, and am about to head out the door when I remember by plasma bow. I always keep it with me, mostly to make sure that my family doesn't try to get rid of it behind my back. Once I have it safely folded up in the holster on my belt, I head out to the designated location.

Anima wakes up and spends about 30 minutes getting dressed in her signature outfit. She picks up the notepad, opens up one of her project files, labeled "Altarian Battlefront". It opens up a game that seems to be an RPG and a first person dungeon crawler. She plays the game on her ways down, making notations on the game as she beats the game's final boss. Despite keeping her eyes on the game almost the entire time, she walks the halls expertly, as if she had a sixth sense for seeing the world when playing a video game.

Everyone: You all arrive at different times in the order of Yumi, Kristina, Anima. When you enter the room, you find Allen leaning against a table and a couple of scientists standing in the middle of the fairly large room, noticeably to everyone, your Power Suits are lined up on the back wall although none of you know what they are yet. Once Anima arrives, Allen walks towards you and greets you. "Good morning Everyone, I'm glad you all came. I'm Allen Nikola, and I'm here to explain to you a very special mission that we've all been asked to participate in. I'm sure you're all aware that we've arrived in orbit around Gliese 581 g, but what you haven't been told yet is that there's already things living down there, one of the species even seems sentient. So, we've been asked to go down there and do some preliminary reconnaissance to find out what they're like and possibly establish friendly relations with them."

I look around for a bit, but I pay attention to Allen when he speaks. However, my eyes continuously wander over to the Power Suits. Without realizing it, I tilt my head like a little lost puppy. Curious... I think to myself. I've never seen machines like that on the ship before...what are they? "Wow..." I accidentally whisper.

The only thing more exciting to Anima then her game was the shiny new armorsuits in front of her, and as a side benefit, meeting new people. Her gaze was immediatly averted from her game as she walked into the room, and started to scan the area and secretly start judging them, trying to figure out the best way to approch them in conversation.

Everyone: Allen laughs slightly as he notices you all paying attention to the Power Suits. "I can see you're all interested in those, and yes, if you accept this mission you'll also get to use those, since this operation is doubling as a test for our 2 newest weapons. So, in short, do you accept this request? Will you go on this mission?"
