Essex V

[Ryan Naismith]

Essex V is a planet on the outer fringes of the galaxy, only colonized a few months ago. It's terrestrial composition is similar to that of earth's, except with a slightly higher gravity, and a slightly thinner atmosphere.
You are one of the first colonizers of Essex V, everyone is there for a reason, and no slackers are allowed!
Have fun!

Character sheets, here's mine!

Name:Miles Naismith
Race: silver fox
Age:45
Reason for being on the colony: administrative; he's the governor/sheriff of Essex V.
Description: Miles typically wears simple clothes; typically cargo pants and a long-sleeved shirt of some sort, given the temperate location of the main city of Essex V.

Miles worked as a high profile managerial staff member, but he had gotten into some... Problems. So he was sent to manage Essex V. He's going to do his damnedest to manage this colony, but his discomfort with his position often shows.

((Ooh...I loik it!))


Name: H. Rayleonarde VI.
Race: Raccoon.
Age: Eighteen (18).
Reason for being on the Colony: Penal (prison) worker, and conscript defense...just in case.
Description: When not in his prison suit, he's commonly seen in the Penal Defense squad uniform. Holo-shackles keep his wrists and ankles bound, when off duty. Ray reports directly to Miles Naismith.


Ray sat in his cell, waiting for his squad to be called for another wild goose chase. He didn't mind that, the goose chases. It gave him time to see the outside world, and he assumed he was the only one in his squad to truly appreciate the missions. Ray tapped his foot lightly, waiting patiently.

((You can colonise with me anytime Naismith))
Name: Deirdre Parker.
Race: snow fox.
Age: 37
Reason for being on the colony: has conducted large studies of Essex V and is there to continue research.
Description: she commonly wears a black shirt and some jeans, due to the fact that they are the clothes closest when she's in a hurry.

(Did someone mention that food was involved? no? just me? okay then...)


Name: Aiden Mizuki
Race: Tiger
Age: 23
Reason: Wanted to start over and make a new life as well as observe what went on and sending the occassional report of anthing that happens.
Description: Aiden is a very quiet tiger. He likes to keep to himself. He is always seen wea a cloth wrap that covers his head to the middle of his stomach, the only thing you can see of his face is his eyes and ears. His lower torso along wih his light muscle definition is always able to be seen. He wears shorts that seem a bit tattered at the leg ends. His usually doesnt wear shoes. His fur is a soft cream color.

Miles absolutely hated this backwater ass planet. It vaguely reminded him of his home planet, earth, and if one knew nothing of anatomy and physiology, one could be convinced that the forests of Essex were the forests of earth. So that's what Miles was doing. He was looking at a forest from the (rather large) window in his office.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray was shepherded outside, and forced to patrol the city limits. He held a pulse rifle, while the prisoner shackled to him held the ammunition. "They force us to defend them, brothers, yet they keep the weapons and ammo apart." Ray chuckled, cynically. 

[Ryan Naismith]

Miles watched a pair of prisoners just outside city limits. He would have to replace them sometime, make them do more... Menial tasks. First thing, they were prisoners, and could not be trusted. and second thing, they were being forces to do this, which added even more onto the 'cannot be trusted' list. He would have to make it a volunteer thing. And he would have to request some security guards from the company. Those could be trusted to do their jobs.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray sighed, and looked up at the sheriff's office. He could see a figure in the window. "He's got it easy, brother. He never comes out here, and stands under the sun. Never stands out here to defend his city. No, it comes down to us." The other prisoner would've spoke, if he had his tongue.

[Ryan Naismith]

Miles briefly looked down at his chrono, and realized it was time for him to go check on Parker's research. So he walked through the building, arms politely behind his back. When he reached Parker's lab, he knocked on the door an waited outside politely.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray sighed, and sat on a large stone. He remained silent, before singing the Anthem of The Soviet Union, quietly.

[Babydoll Animis]

Aiden sat quietly, his ears flickered every once and a while, he grabbed a handful of sand on the ground then let it blow away with the wind. "..." He wondered if he had made the right choice. Could he really start a new life in a place like this? His cloth wrap swayed abit along with his tail, his feet felt the ground below. It was slightly warm.

[The Magic Otter]

Deirdre heard someone knock on the door to her lab, she looked away from the specimen she was analysing and stood. "I'm coming!" She manoeuvred her way through the piles of documents she laid out for reference and answered the door.

[Ryan Naismith]

"Parker." He said respectfully "I have come to inquire as to the status of your research. So, how's it going?"

[The Magic Otter]

Deirdre smiled. "I have acquired a pure sample of the Mellonahdia flower and am analysing it's properties" she moved to the side. "Come in."

((Mellonahdia is pronounced: 'mel-lone-ah-dee-ah'))

[Ryan Naismith]

"Ah." He said, taking a step into her lab, his hands still respectfully behind his back "what are the properties of this plant? And how might it be used?"
