AWAKENING PROCEDURES INITIATED
BE ADVISED: CRYOSLEEP SICKNESS IS COMMON
The lights of the stasis pod, though dim, blind you with their horrid blue glare. You reach up to wipe the exhaustion from your eyes and realize just how cold your skin really is against your face. You barely get to read the message on the frosty glass of the pod before it vanishes. Cryosleep sickness is quickly rising in your stomach, though in your exhaustion it feels somewhat bearable. You ponder at the thought that it may just be the sixteen-year-old NU-PASTE in your gut rather than the freezing process itself.

PROSPECTOR INFORMATION:
A biography page with your face on it draws itself onto the glass. Its bureaucratic design feels objectifying, as though the machine is implying that you're merchandise. It even has an item code in the bottom left corner. It takes only a few seconds for you to realize that something is wrong.

While trying to load your data, the system fails entirely and displays a massive [HEAVY DATA CORRUPTION] error directly in the center of your vision. Its bright red tinge burns into your retinas, and you can't help but shy away from it. Eventually, the screen clears, and new text appears.
INITIALIZING INTRODUCTION SEQUENCE
VERSION: 000AAA-NULL PROSPECTOR UNKNOWN
A new set of dialogue appears, this time oriented to the left. It types out slowly, as though someone is actually typing to you. A voice from the speakers above you speaks in a low, feminine voice. As comforting as the sound is, you're acutely aware of the fact that it is an AI of some kind.
Good morning, Prospector. The time is currently [SIGNAT OFFLINE. PLEASE CONTACT SYSTEM ADMIN]. Certain parts of the prospector diagnostics systems appear to be offline, and we are currently unable to find your data. As per regulation 2222 1.07-C, you cannot be released until the on-board crew and AI have access to your information. You will have to complete a quick survey so that we can find your information. When you are prompted, please state, loudly and clearly, the data that is requested. If you are unsure about the question, please respond with the word 'unknown.' This process only takes a few minutes. Sabre Tech thanks you for your patience.
Eventually, the biography sheet appears in front of you. A cursor hovers over each section, prompting your response. It takes a couple of tries, but at least it finally picks up your name. You come to the harsh realization that the AI really won't let you go eat something until you've completed the form. Begrudgingly, and with soreness wreaking havoc on your body, you complete the survey. There are several agonizing seconds before the machine finally responds.
Data found. Welcome back, Prospector. You have been accounted for. The other Prospectors in your colony are either awakening or have already been awakened. Coffee and breakfast are being served in the cafeteria of the ship. Today's NU-PASTE flavor is; Bacon and Eggs. Please meet in the cafeteria section in ten minutes for briefing. If you are the designated WARDEN of your colony, please retrieve any prisoners on your ship and have them join you. Note that briefing is a necessity for proper colony management, and should not be skipped.
The cryosleep light turns off, and the pod hisses loudly as it opens. The cold, stale air of the pod is released into the main cryosleep chamber. As you step out, your legs feel numb from the lack of use over the past several years of travel, and you can't help but stretch your aching joints. Your eyes adjust to the room, and when you can fully see you take a quick glance at your surroundings. The walls are a bland dark steel color that barely reflects any of the light in the room. Cryosleep pods line the walls on opposite sides of the walls. Some are open, some are closed. Those that are closed are too cloudy to see into. You notice a small window at the opposite end of the room to the autodoor. The view of the planet below you is mesmerizing, it's a place completely untouched by human hands and thus has all of its natural clarity. Before you have time to really drink it all in, the overhead speaker reminds you that you are to report to the cafeteria for breakfast and briefing. You enjoy what you can, then head to join the others.
IMAGE: What does your character look like? Anime/artistic preferred (makes depicting non-human characters much easier.) A description is allowed.
NAME: Self-explanatory. If your character has a nickname, use the following arrangement: FIRSTNAME "Nickname" LASTNAME
BIOLOGICAL AGE: How old your character appears to be, described in Terran Years (Earth years). Cryosleep prevents biological aging, so do not include that time frame. If your character has been out of cryosleep for 20 years and IN cryosleep for 500, your biological age is 20.
CHRONOLOGICAL AGE: How long your character has ACTUALLY been alive, including cryosleep, described in Terran Years. The absolute maximum is 526 years (Your character would have a biological age of 80 at this point, as the current year is 2562 and cryosleep was developed in 2110). NOTE: Your chronological age should be AT LEAST 14 years older than your biological age.
SEXUALITY: Optional.
GENDER ORIENTATION: Optional.
WORLD-OF-ORIGIN: See the World Classifications section on the lore page for more information. If you would like to have your origin set somewhere besides the Homeworlds, feel free to use a real life planet or make one up. If you make one up, be sure to state its classification as well.
(COLONISTS ONLY) PRE-PROSPECTOR OCCUPATION: What was your job? Usually determines what you do on the colony.
COLONY OCCUPATION: Do you have a designated job on the colony? This can be anything along the lines of agricultural expert, doctor, warden, etc. If you don't want a specific job, just put PROSPECTOR. If you're a prisoner, put PRISONER.
(PRISONERS ONLY) CRIMINAL HISTORY: Why were you arrested?
NOTABLE TRAITS AND SKILLS: What kind of skills do you have? What terms best describe you? Use real ones, terms from the Lore page, or any that you want to make up.
NOTABLE MEDICAL HISTORY: Any cybernetics? Any gene/bio mods? Any surgeries that might affect your performance on the colony?
BACKGROUND DETAILS/HISTORY: Optional. What was life like for you back home? Why did you choose to become a Prospector?
Feel free to make this as pretty as you want, just include the above information.

Sorry y'all. I wanted to do a better character sheet but the one I was working with kept breaking, so it'll have to be this for now.
