EARTH II .: + [ REGISTRATION ] + :.
Stare out at the great dark sky above you, what do you see? Stars, thousands of them, glimmering and shining in vast expanse we simply call space. Occasionally a shooting star will pass, a star will flicker out, or a satellite will pass over. Our imagination goes wild imagining the planets and creatures so far away from us and deep down we feel a tinge of anxiety when we hear a story about abductees. We look up at the sky for hope, for a future far beyond our wildest dreams. All roads lead to space, as we build taller buildings, complete the space station, plan for the trip to Mars, send our satellites out farther, seeing more and more.
In our future, when we have colonized our precious moon and Mars alike, the newly reformed government known as SUN will begin to develop a program that will make our first real steps into the great beyond. Humanity has overcome all obstacles, we are at peace, diseases are easily being cured, cancer is no longer a worry… It is only natural that we look above and chose the next great thing to study and capture. Slowly but surely, commercials flicker onto the numerous screens of all shapes and sizes in people’s homes. They simply show the sky, and then a slogan in simple, white font:
Let’s Go.
Whether they realized it or not, they were falling under the spell of SUN. Curiosity, by far the greatest and most dangerous asset to a human had been activated by two simple words. As the populace began to wonder exactly where the commercial was implying they’d go, the government already knew. Already they were shifting through people’s person records and files, choosing those that would be perfect for the mission. Those who were truly inspired and enthralled by the simple message on their display screens, people who had the skills and mindset required to undertake on this grand adventure.
So the project began. Announced to the world as a superstation to go between Mars and Earth, no one thought any different as a massive vessel was being constructed in orbit. In the span of five years, what appeared to be one giant satellite was constructed, bigger than anything before constructed; it was hailed a new beginning for the human space effort and SUN. Some critics said it was built to fast, that something was amiss, but the majority of the world was amazed.
The project was not all glitz and glamour, in the shadow of the station; hundreds of people were being trained in secret for a completely different mission. They were trained day and night, and granted the privilege of wearing badges in the simple shape of a sun.
In SUN we trust.
Then the lottery began.
Seemingly random people were chosen to come aboard the station and live there, to have a brand new life, free of whatever debt was haunting them on whatever world they hailed from. Promise for a new life, all they had to do was sign the contract.
The great doors open up, bulkheads that were locked down for secrecy, now parting for the public. They hiss steam as the interior is revealed. Cold metallic colours, but people could get used to that. The dormitories and housing insides had much more of a welcoming feel; they spared no expense in the comfort of the crew. Hundreds of people, all able to live and thrive in the first super-station; the port between two planets with so many ferries and shuttles going between, money was no worry.
All they had to do was sleep a little while, so the station could get into place. A brand new A.I system, named Valkyrie would awake them when they reached their destination. She was programmed to protect the crew, to keep them happy as they worked and lived on the station.
People signed the contract, they agreed to sleep. As the craft began to break orbit and prepare for its jump, the crew drifted into a deep slumber, and the worlds watched in wonder.
Sweet Dreams.
EARTH II
Rules
1) This RPG is rated M for mature, but this doesn’t mean I want to see a whole abundance of cursing in your posts. Exhibit self control and refrain from overdoing it.
2) Gore and violence will be apparent, as well as psychological minds games of the deadly nature. Do not join if you have an issue with these.
3) The 500 word minimum is NOT in effect.
4) Respect other people’s preferred ways of RPing. If they don’t want you to overly control their character, don’t (but to those of you who wish to have your character not controlled, don’t control anyone else’s either.). The same goes for the other side, if someone controls your character a bit more then you’d like, forgive and forget (and inform them kindly of the mistake, it may take a bit for them to adapt). Everyone makes mistakes.
5) This RPG has an open concept, E2 holds many mysteries, and some can be your own. If you have questions on what is to far out there even for this messed up spaceship, PM me, or contact me through MSN (oko-tan@live.com).
6) Due to some inactivity, if you join E2 and then up and disappear for a while with no explanation… Don’t expect your beloved character to survive too long… There be monsters on this ship. >3
7) I own your soul in this RPG. ♥
Note: You may not share quarters with anyone unless you are a guardian of a child. Otherwise please don’t go to mentioning them. We’re all on the same block and relatively close to each other, no being the loner in block Z while we’re all in A. I don’t think I should have to mention it but your Cyropod number and quarters are different, just in case anyone was wondering.

[DONE]
Name:
Sex:
Age: Ages vary; you can be almost any age you want. But realize if you’re a child someone is going to have to take care of you. I don’t want many children.
Physical Appearance:
Clothing: Clothing is generally from the 21st century (our current time.. XP), as it is the cheapest to make. Those of you who were trained for the military aspect of this ship, your armor are similar to that of the ODST ‘Helljumper’ gear from HALO, with any variations being your own. Generalization for clothing except for armor please.
Personality:
Occupation: Your occupation on Earth is probably what you’ll have on Earth II. But have fun. Those of you in the military, please state your rank as well, and your area of specialization. Nothing to high.
Weapon: ONLY FOR MILITARY. Others.. You must improvise and find things later. Or you'll need them approved, and I don't want too many with a weapon.
History:
Pod Number: Any number you want :3
Relationships: Know anyone before the journey began?
Other:
Now for mine..
Name: Selene Riley Shepard. She goes by her middle name, and thus would introduce herself as such.
Sex: Female
Age: 24
Physical Appearance: 5’8’’, Strawberry blond hair (more along the light pink nature then red hue that’s normal) that’s layered and often tied in a ponytail except for her bangs that frame her face and cover her right eye. Her eyes are a beautiful mix of blue and green, changing to green when she experiences a strong negative emotion and blue when experiencing a strong positive one. Otherwise they’re a neat blend of the two. Selene has fair skin and not a blemish on her it would seem. She’s built lean and athletically, but her posture and usually stern gaze can intimidate most people.
Clothing: Though she finds the clothing odd compared to current fashion, she’s usually seen in some sort of shirt or tee, and wearing jeans. Ordinary sneakers for shoe wear. Though she’ll almost always be wearing a silver charm bracelet once she finds it with her things in her quarters.
Personality: Riley isn’t the most approachable woman on the ship. She’s cold, not to the point of being distant but it’s harder to talk to her then others. She’s logical, she thinks rationally, doesn’t believe in anything spiritual or supernatural. The woman has a very low tolerance for whiners, and often she’ll leave rather then tell them to shut up. Oddly enough though, she can be quite the charmer without knowing, and has a friendlier, kinder side that appears when in good company or when it’s needed. Her major fault is that she’s stubborn, and it takes a hell of an effort to convince to quit or try something else if her mind is set in its way.
Occupation: She was actually a soldier on Mars, but registered as an artist on E2.
Weapon: A standard handgun, black in coloration, sealed away in its case.
History: She keeps her past secret, only revealing that she had been a soldier on Mars before signing up for the E2 program. She has family, as in her room are pictures of her parents and little sister on the mantel. Selene doesn’t talk about them though.
Pod Number: 2-57-6
Relationships: She's assigned to be Leo's Guardian by Valkyrie. Served under Maverick when she first began her career as a soldier. She hasn't seen him in a long time.
Other: She HATES children, and since being on the E2, she's developed a fondness for alcohol.
