Going Home (OOC) (Closed)(Dead Thread)

[Ginger Ale]

"Over the past decade, the Unified Martian States have been researching and developing technology which would allow for the recivilization of Earth, the Original planet. When the Origins came to our planet, they were likely ten times as advanced as we are today. Geological records show us that, previous to the arrival of the Origins, the planet Mars was completely uninhabited, and anything under Sol's light would be killed due to his radiation, and anything which survived until night, would be killed by her unforgiving cold and darkness.

As many of us know, the Origins are long since gone. Our records of early Martian explorers show a point in time where they lost contact with the Origins, possibly due to self-destruction. The early Martians did not seem to care, as they were already on their way to a fully terraformed state of existence, and did not care about the Earth or the Origins.

Evidence from our space probes and rovers show that the Earth varies immensely in temperature, with many areas habitable year-round, without need for heating or cooling systems. We know that the Earth was what shaped the Origins, who became us. It has taken years of research, training, and preparation, and I am proud to announce that in only six days, the Lars Space Affairs Center in Elysium will be launching the first live mission to Earth. The trip will be one-way, but we are confident in the party's abilities. We have faith that their training has prepared them for the more intense gravity they will encounter on the Origin planet, and the survival skills necessary to thrive. We wish them good luck and safe travels. May Phobos and Deimos clear a path for our heroes. This is President Zuniga, signing off."

The first Areans (General term given to all inhabitants of Mars) to set foot on Earth, the Origin planet have arrived. The people sent were bred for space exploration. They have lived exclusively in lab-controlled schools, rec rooms, and living areas their whole lives, and their bodies are genetically modified to be well-accustomed to gravity similar to what you would find on Earth. They are, on average, perfectly functioning socially, due to the large number of "lab-grown" Areans they are raised with. Arean explorers are equipped with firearms chosen personally by the individual. The Arean explorers have one mission: to find resources and attempt to keep in contact with the UMS. The hope is for those involved to be able to survive with relative ease. They are the first generation of re-inhabitants on the planet Earth (and the ones you'd be playing as). 

All civilizations left on Earth exist primarily underground, with linked settlements above ground. These are the remnants of major cities that fled during worldwide panic many, many years ago. The descendants of these people still inadvertently honor their ancestors by needing no help from other settlements to survive. These settlements are powered by hydroelectric or geothermal power, and many have begun to use experiment with nuclear fuels in order to gain more energy. One of these is located near the Earth landing site. The question remains: who will find the other first?

Even though its set in the future and they probably wouldn't have the exact same equipment, you can use present-day guns as analogues, because the Arians are not that much more advanced than the modern day in terms of weapons.

Also, your formatting isn't showing up correctly.

[Ventus Fall]

Since the forum formatting can sometimes be a bit tricky, I fixed it for DazedMongoliensis

Also, interesting RP concept here, Ginger Ale.

Species: Aryan (little bit... Nazi-like with that name )

It's Arean (AY-ree-in), not Aryan. It's in reference to Ares, the Greek counterpart to the Roman god Mars (because I just don't like the way "Martian" sounds).

Alright, now that I'm back from vacation, I can go back to being active. I'm going to go ahead and post the actual thread, but I'm still waiting until the 15th to close new entries and start for real.

(I know I am a bit late to the party, and I understand if I can't join, but would very much like to if able to.)

[Ginger Ale]

Of course, man! It's still open to new entries.

Here's the main thread. I will write the first post tomorrow.

[Inb4Cloaker]

Alright, thanks! I look forward to it.

[Ginger Ale]

I've closed off admissions, so no new participants (with the exception of one user who hasn't gotten back to me yet but shows interest).

The area the ship landed is in modern-day Ukraine, about 10 miles outside a small network of underground and above ground settlements located in a field that was once Kiev. The inhabitants do not speak the same language as the explorers, but because no new people have visited them in many generations, they will be cautious, but not immediately hostile.

[Ginger Ale]

Because of the current weather (summer in Kiev can get fairly hot and humid), similar to this, but adapted to the individual's weapon preferences. Each crew member carries a first aid kit and basic survival tools in a backpack.

Do you guys want to continue this thread? I apologize for not being very active.
