Clearly you need to go finish watching the series, then!

How does the forums community judge this? I know people around here tend to have little interest in sci-fi roleplays.

Spoiler:

The year is 2365. Within the past 353 years, a lot has been accomplished, to say the least. Man stepped foot on every planet in the solar system by 2104. There are 106 million people colonizing the Moon and 36 million people colonizing Mars, with another 9 million people colonizing other planets and moons. Cheap labor is now done by simply commanded robots. Artificial intelligence has been created, but it is illegal, due to the UN declaring AI use equivalent to slave labor. Fossilized bacteria have been found on Mars, but no intelligent life.

Interstellar travel is gaining increasing interest by humanity. First, a satellite was sent to Alpha Centauri in 50 years, and ever since then travel time has been reduced to a mere six months. A small planet near the star Proxima Centauri, in the habitable zone, has been the center of attention recently. This planet, Moya (Named after its discoverer Ricardo Moya) has been speculated to hold actual intelligent life and there has been a race to place a man on Moya to answer that immortal question: Are we alone out there?

Moya is a small, barren world. It has almost the same gravity and atmosphere as Earth and it is even breathable by humans. The land of Moya is rock, comparable to Mars, but dull blue in color. The planet gets rough lightning storms almost daily. What makes people think Moya holds life is its huge cave systems. Rovers sent to Moya have sent back data detailing there is more oxygen in the larger caves, which may point to plant life, and water in the forms of underground lakes and possibly even oceans.

The Discovery and Observation of Moya Association, DOMA, is the leading organization dedicated to discovering everything needed to know about the small planet. DOMA is a large organization dedicated to science, not money. It is supported by hundreds of countries and has thousands of scientists, engineers, and other members actively involved. In 2356, astronauts Evan Kirby and Dr. Nora Barkley, private DOMA personnel, were the first humans to step foot on Moya. Ever since then, laboratories and research stations have been built by DOMA in order to discover more about the planet. No major discoveries have been reported though and DOMA has reported that .2% of the planet’s cave systems have been explored. Scanning is difficult due to the amount of rock and other metals making up the caves.

You, a semi-ordinary person, have been contacted by DOMA. Due to your exceptional skills in your scientific field or other ability, DOMA officials want to fly you to Moya for a job that they are keeping quiet about. You don’t know what they want; you only know they promise a three million dollar payout and the rights to publish anything you discover relating to your field of science, no matter how groundbreaking.

You can be:
*An archaeologist (Study of ancient civilizations)
*Linguistics expert (Study of languages)
*Sociologist (Study of society)
*Geologist (Study of the Earth)
*Biologist (Study of living things)
*Anyone who studies anything related to astronomy or astrophysics. For example, or scroll to the bottom of the page and look at the articles in the category
*Somebody who is an expert in caving (Exploring wild caves for fun or sport). I will allow two of these types of people.)
*A survivor type person (You can get creative here, anywhere from a Bear Grylls celebrity type character or someone, maybe in the military, who is famous for having survived in a hostile climate for an extended period of time. I will only allow one of these people.)
*A hired mercenary, trained with guns and survival skills (I will only allow two of these in the roleplay)

If you feel that you cannot create a character fitting to these guidelines, PM me with a suggestion. DOMA is hiring internationally, so feel free to make your character from any country, as long as they speak English.

We’ll be starting the roleplay after months of space travel to the prominent and famous laboratory Omega Station IV on Moya’s surface.

(Also: I know what you may be thinking: 'So everybody has to be an old professor in some college?' Answer: no. You can easily be working in the field, such as an archaeologist that digs for ancient ruins or a biologist in the Amazon. Use your imagination!)

[Musicman247]

Matt, I like it! I'm open to any kind of roleplay, and that sounds like something that I would enjoy.

[Justice knight]

I love Sci-fi Matt and that looks amazing, when are you going to post it?

[Arch-Mage Matt]

I'll either wait a while, or post it to the Weasel Forums. The amount of active roleplays here is too damn high!

[POMC S117]

Was that POMC's you're referring to? I was part of that. If we do eventually do a War of the North styled RP, I might revisit a similar Elven character, or a Ranger character.

I believe he was referring to Eltee's RP.

[Unionhack]

Weaselforums isn't working for me at the moment, Matt. Downtime or something?

[OblivionDuruza]

It's still up for me Unionhack, but I have been experiencing slow response times, although that may be attributed to my internet rather than the site itself. I'll follow up with Weasel about it though.

The RP looks good Matt, I'll definitely keep an eye on it.

YES!

By the way, the only way a planet can exist within the habitable zone of a red dwarf (like Proxima) is if it is tidally locked, or, with one side always facing the sun.

[Arch-Mage Matt]

Duly noted. I'm working on the finishing touches on the roleplay now.

[Eltee]

Okay, great!

[Justice knight]

Would anyone be interested in a Warhammer 40k roleplay? I might do one later on once the amount of active RPs drops a bit.

[POMC S117]

Who would be interested in a Doctor Who RP?

[Musicman247]

Who would be interested in a Doctor Who RP?

It would be pretty boring unless you included Torchwood. Only two or three players at the most. With Torchwood added you could have unlimited characters, especially if you make the timeline pre-fall of Torchwood London.

[POMC S117]

You don't have to have three or two players. There are many episodes in which there are more than three characters, although they are finales. It would still be possible, especially if there were a good plot.

[Musicman247]

I'm assuming The Doctor would be the DM and pop up every now and again to help the rest of the force?

[POMC S117]

Yes, he would.

[Gideon Dragontongue]

I've got a good system worked out for my LotR RP, so I plan to start in a week or so.

[Kerr]

Doctor Who could be good but Torchwood 4 would be better. I'll join anyway.

[POMC S117]

I'm not really a fan of Torchwood. I like it but compared to Doctor Who it's... meh.

[Kerr]

What species could we be? Humans? Time Lords? Other?
Cause regeneration of player characters would be...interesting.

[Justice knight]

Would U.N.I.T be playable?

[POMC S117]

I was thinking of using the Tenth Doctor(the best) so it wouldn't be accurate to use the Time Lords as a race. But I'd be happy to allow any race! Except the Daleks...

You could be a U.N.I.T member or a Torchwood member but you would be with the Doctor.

[Kerr]

Everyone play as Weeping Angels.
Problem GM?

[Justice knight]

Sounds good Pomc -I can't wait.
