1. Emilia lived a rather normal life on earth. She studied and was working part-time as well. She had a life just like every university student in the world, except she was more intelligent than most of the rest. She was especially interested in observing people and making deductions which she most of the time kept to herself. Her attitude towards others was always incredibly caring and loving and for that she was known 'The loving soul' in her school. At the age of 19, she lives alone in her apartment after the death of her parents. (~Biography in moodboard)
2. People's actions after observing them
3. Emilia does not care about politics at all and is not specifically interested in love, but wouldn't mind it either.
4. "Think" [Meaning is yet to be announced]
5. Emptiness
6. Vague memories of her being forced into the ship
7. 'Kill Em With Kindness' - Selena Gomez

1. A failed job, wailing sirens and bloody corpses. That was all Jessica could remember before waking up in the cold bunk room. She was saved from a lifetime sentence, or so she was told by the man she later came to know as Sgt Henman. She spent the next several years on an intense training course, pushing her to her physical limits and beyond. Jessica wasn’t easily scared, bit stepping into the operating room, the dozens of masked faces staring back, she felt it once again. From that day onward, she would officially become a member of scorch company, the people she had spent the last several years of her life with, her new family.

Red and gold, the sounds of roaring flames and screaming, gunshots and the howling desert wind. Jessica looked down at her hands, blood splattered over her hands, her face. Another flash, Henmans corpse laying at her feet, the pistol still gripped in her hand. She could still hear the screams, her own mixed into the deafening sound.

2. The spaces behind the trees, crevices things could be hiding
3. Jessica wasn’t allowed to love, and is to connected to the politics around her.
4. “Burn it all". Maybe she already has.
5. Cold metal and artificial air.
6. Only her emotions, no visuals, no sound.
7. Knockin' - KUURO, Lips shut - Nina Chuba

ok gonna take a break we all get the gist and I am pretty confident I'm going to like all that I've quoted. You are all accepted. There was another interest before I believe but I have no profile from her. I had another interest application. So, I'll likely quote them when they have a full profile. Thank you for joining and I'm sure I'll enjoy role playing with you all.

Holy crap my palms are sweating. I always have performance anxiety when I'm about to post or even get started on a post.

1. Give me an example of what life on earth may have been for them. No word limit or minimum. I don't care if its three sentences.
Give me a taste of their voice and personality?
Life was. Life. I had a job. A wife. My wife and I were just about to adopt a little girl. So sweet. Things seemed. Normal. I mean, I was aware that our world was ending. Everyone was. It was no secret. Though, I had heard this so often, it became a normal background chatter one ignores seamlessly. I never expected, that life would end so quickly, sooner than any of us anticipated. It was like a great shift within the world herself. Couldn't handle the weight of her own children. I have a vague sense that I was a scientist. I researched the earth. I researched the stars. I remember staring out into the inky darkness and being so proud I had an answer no one else could fathom. An answer I had worked diligently and hard to reach. A link for which I could only fill. I suppose MOTHER AND FATHER the AI that propels us in space. They felt it too. My wife and I were kidnapped and brought into this vessel. Up until that moment. I realized we were all sleeping.

2. Your character is in a park. What is the first thing they notice?
Depending on the season. The first thing I notice is the scent of tree's or what is left of them. Most were sprayed with an artificial scent of pine and cedar. The ground beneath my feet sinking into the organic man made soil and the flowers swaying brilliently. Their hues too un natural to be completely biologically organic. Many of our parks have been genetically modified. So, I am understanding most of the scents sights and sounds are quiet artificial. The googles emitting nature sounds on repeat. Sometimes the sounds would be out of place. You'd here a Lion growling but you are in the middle of New York. You could hear a Loon calling but be in India. If you listened closely. You'd realize nature had been displaced and artificial for a long time. Walking through a park feels like walking through a graveyard. Ominous.

3. How does one view love or politics or the situation they are in right now.
We all have become a victim to politics. The invisible band that seems to hold everyone into a ridged and uncomfortable place. I follow the rules. Until I break them.


4. What was written on that small piece of paper crumpled in your hand. Does it have significance.
Die before you die and learn there is no death.

5. What is the first smell you catch right when you wake up.
The smell of vomit and feces.

6. Do you remember dreaming? Or were they memories.
I remember the last moments of my capture. Like a time warped bad dream on repeat. I woke up still thinking it was happening.

7. A theme song or several if you have them.
Peter Gabriel version : My Body is A Cage

*hyperventilates and puts on rose tinted glasses* Woah, need some color therapy to combat this anxiety lol its been while since I've written anything. My apologies for choppy writing. Now on to his wife and then a post.

​

1.) Life on Earth was quite simple for Me, Even though It was close to Destroying Itself. I worked every day and night on new weaponizable technological advancements for humankind. Power Armor that could give the wearer Immunity to falling Miles from the sky to a Blaster that could change between a 'welding' and 'combat' mode. I was always good with my hands and even better with computers. You could give me a 1990s computer and I quite easily could turn It into a modern portable phone.

2.) The first thing I notice a streetlight needs repairs and a Military-Grade robot of some sort 'floating' with a mini-thruster and long weaponized arms to balance Itself. There is a dead soldier on the ground as well as other bodies, Seemingly as If the robot was protecting me...From those soldiers.

3.) I was a person that has never found love, And I care decently care about politics. I am quite excited about the current situation at hand and am ready for what problems pop-up. I am quite socially awkward and like to keep to myself most of the time.

4.) "Bring Liberty Prime to Life." Alongside a small drawing on the back. I was always a fan of a certain game series called 'Fallout', Maybe I was planning on bringing the Tech to life sometime in the future?

5.) Filtrated Air and Sweat. I do know the difference between Filtrated Air and Natural Air, But some air is better than No-Air. But Also, The Smart-watch on my wrist was beeping as If something were wrong.

6.) I remember myself as a kid. God, I only wished I could be a kid again but life goes on...Even without you. I used to play video-games when I was a small-kid, Always promising my parents I would bring futuristic Technology to Life. And here I am now 'very' successful in Robotics and such.

7.) Crysis 2 Theme - Hans Zimmer (One of the Greatest Composers alive!)
The Score - Unstoppable

Thank you so much for posting your second profile! Feel free to post in the rp thread. There are a few post already and I will have mine out some time today =)

DR. ATLUS VERIDIAN



1. For Atlus, life on earth began with great promise and ended in jaded misery. The first of his family to make it through college, he dedicated himself to the medical profession. While the world was still struggling with the continued shifting of the environment and the devastating aftermath of the Second American Civil War, he managed to find ways to help people most in need. He met his wife Alice when they were working at the same hospital. Her fire and desire to ensure that even the least well off received adequate care inspired him to do the same. When the Erasmus Meteor struck and the call went out for willing physicians to join the Legion of Mercy and help tend to the survivors of the cataclysm in Brazil, he and Alice didn't give it a second thought. But the tensions in the nation rose uncontrollably. Religion, politics, poverty, starvation, and illness all created a hellish maelstrom of anger and hatred. The med center they were manning was attacked by a crowd of misguided demonstrators and a bomb leveled the wing in which he and Alice were attempting to evacuate patients. Atlus lost his arm in the collapse, Alice lost her life.

2. The couples. He used to go to the park with Alice on their lunch breaks when they worked at the hospital. It's been a while since Atlus was in a park.

3. Politics cost Atlus a great deal. Politics left his parents in poverty, politics failed to stop the environmental crisis, politics created the social upheaval in the South American state where he and Alice were stationed with the Legion of Mercy, Politics inspired the maniac who drove his truck bomb into the med center and cost Atlus his wife, his arm, and his sobriety. In his mind, beuracratic politicians are the enemy of human progress.

4. "The past is the past. Make this a fresh start" Atlus struggled with Alcoholism after his wife's death. He managed to get it under control with therapy and anti-addiction medication.

5. As Atlus wakes up he can still smell the fire and concrete of the explosion that killed his wife.

6. Atlus faintly remembers dreaming of the med center bombing, but the memory fades quickly.

7. Johnny Cash - Hurt

Really like everyone's posts thus far. I'll have mine up soonish. Well Hunter at least. I still need to finish Echo part 2.

 

[Lunchbox]

Anyone put two and two together and see that my character is also Malfoy from HP. *waggles brows*

 

[Lunchbox]

posted hunter anyone is free to interact with him
He's literally just opened his eyes

Now is Hunter calling out to the others? Also, I would like to know if the two AI abroad the ship are Sentient or not.

Now is Hunter calling out to the others? Also, I would like to know if the two AI abroad the ship are Sentient or not.

He is just calling out in general. Mother and Father are very intelligent. They are mimicked off of Mother and Father from Raised by wolves. Also, the AI technology probably at this time. They don't need a physical form to complete their part of the mission. However they do have body's they can form if necessary. But that would be a huge drain on the ship. So they control pretty much everything on the ship but their mission is for the others to succeed. Like a mother and a father. But mostly they are just voices of comfort.

 

[Lunchbox]

They may have bots to help them out.

 

[Stricken Steel]

Alright, Just checkin'.

 

[Lunchbox]

Alright, Just checkin'.

I love it when people ask questions

 

[Owl Knight]

Do mother and father serve different functions?

 

[Lunchbox]

Do mother and father serve different functions?

Not really. I wouldn't even say they serve specific gender roles. Just like those were names their human creators gave them. Mother does have a female voice and Father has a male. However, if they made physical forms they wouldn't have a definitive sex. I really like how in Raised By Wolves ( although I could not stomach going past the third episode) I really liked the gender neutral vibe they had. Mother had no definitive womanly sexual features and father other than being a bit more muscular and a male voice is the same. They both serve a function to have their children survive. I imagine that this ship has a lot of people on it. Most of them dead because they did not survive the journey. It would take two AI to keep most alive and well.

Mother can produce food if required. They may have different skill sets perhaps. But they work in union and for their children. Who are essentially the adopted humans on the ship.

 

[Owl Knight]

Got it. Interesting! So the two AIs exist more to give the humans a sense of familiar comfort.

Exactly =D
