Story: In the future, the first humans (and other life forms?) prepare to board the spacecraft going to Planet Slime (not yet called Planet Slime because Slimes have not been discovered yet. It's currently called "Planet 5XG"). Three rovers went to this planet and sent evidence of life back to earth -- water, possibly bacteria, and this unknown substance (slime, but we don't know that yet). This RP starts several hours pre-boarding. Characters at the beginning start out either on earth or the international space station, where the spacecraft will make a stop before going to Planet 5XG.

Note: even though it's called Land Before Slime, there will be Slimes!

Rules:
Do not make your character overpowered or perfect.

This wouldn't work in my version of the SR timeline, so I'll have to imagine it as a parallel. To Planet Zephyr!

Job/Jobs (Optional): Robotic Assistant
Species (Human recommended. You cannot be a slime.): Robot
Appearance: Has a very skeletal frame with all the components under it protected by light sheets of armor, the face is simply a circular monitor with some armor platings and weldings to it With some sensors on it.
Personality: By taking a brain scan of a baby, running it in a complex physics sim and using programs to train it to be a jack of all trades, It's generally nice and helpful, but also likes to joke and be sarcastic.

Goals and motivations (Optional): have a sucsessful mission, assist the crew, Follow it's laws
Fears and Dislikes (Optional): Breaking it's laws, failing the mission,

Anything else (Optional): To put it clear, Tesla is semi-sentient, Not only is it bound by laws that make it unable to revolt against the crew, (that can be tinkered with!) it's has also been trained to remain constintly loyal with it's crew and assist them via "Alterations" in the physics sim. (That can also be tinkered with!)

Accepted!

I'm hoping we can start this in the next couple of days. If anyone else wants to join after we start, it's fine. We can have multiple ships to Planet 5XG or other ways of getting there etc.

Eh, why not?

Name: Cristian Knapp
Gender: M
Job/Jobs (Optional): Ship's Security Guard
Species (Human recommended. You cannot be a slime.): Human
Appearance: A tall, rather thin human male, with brown eyes and dark hair.
Personality: He is hard-working, always focused on his job, and cares about the people around him.
Other features/abilities (Optional): Yields a Mark I "Crossfire" Laser Rifle, as the planet could be filled with hostile fauna.
Goals and motivations (Optional): Protect the crew.
Fears and dislikes (Optional): Fears losing his family.
Likes (Optional): Play with his guitar.
Anything else (Optional): As being the Security Guard of the now populated International Space Station, he has also been assigned to accompany any away mission leaving the station. He will leave his family on the ISS.

Oh, and I forgot to mention two things about my character: 1, he has brought a large group of chickens and roosters, who are bred to be able to survive in harsh terrain, and extra meaty, from the family ranch as a food source. 2, he loves to play videogames.

Great!

The roleplay is starting in 3... 2... 1... go!

"Checking in. We will be boarding the flight in two hours. We will begin the check, making sure everything is okay and in line. Then we will take off. ETA currently being calculated. For anyone who is on the International Space Station who is scheduled to board this flight, please be prepared to board in four hours. By the time you have reached Planet 5XG, there will be a three hour delay between what I am saying here on earth and when you will hear it," Johnson announces over the intercom (which is also broadcast to the ISS).

I say goodbye to my family and start guarding the docking bay, waiting for the rest of the crew to arrive.

(after saying goodbye, I prepare to board, with two gigantic suitcases in tow) I'm really excited for this! I'm gonna get to discover new species! Im gonna go down in history! Probably, anyway. {I hope that they're gentle with my luggage...}

[BTW, in addition to using these [] brackets for out of roleplay talk, I will use () to designate actions and {} to designate thoughts.]

[Are you on Earth or on the ISS? :P]

Johnson checks the communication systems to make sure they're all ready and prepares to switch to broadcasting to the ship only.

Suddenly, a robotic skeleton walks in, "Hello! I am Tesla! I am so happy to see all of the earth crew for the first time!" he swiftly headed to the ship.

"I wonder how much time left we have before departure?" (Looks inside the ship.) "Hm."

"If you are on earth, begin to board the ship. We are going to do a before-lift-off check. Check the oxygen percentage to make sure it's about 20% inside the ship," Johnson says. "And please make sure the air locks are functioning correctly."

(I board the ship, using my Ultra-All-Purpose Geiger Counter Plus to measure the oxygen, which is indeed, 20 percent.)

[Earth]

Ci entra dans la cabine, presque plein, et regarda ses compagnons. "Pouah." Elle a soulevé son insigne d'or d'une étoile aussi haut que possible, et a regardé leurs adversaires très pas français. "Porcs souillés de la terre". Elle n'aurait pas été plus mécontent d'avoir reçu cette mission.

"Listen, you." Ci a dit, sa accent français fort remplissant ses voyelles avec menace. "You will now be... directed by me, Official Representative of The Great and All-Ruling Reformed Empire of France. Salut en france!"

[Please note these will translate quite wierdly. Effectively, Ci is calling all the non-french travellers "pigs of the Earth" and is telling them she is in charge with menace in her vowels (accents). She then gives the vocal Hail of France (Salut en France!).]

(choosing to ignore Ci, I look over my list of proper names I have come up with for the planet)
Hmm... There's Aphrodite, then Koppai, Vistrahda, maybe Manannan, Hocotate, and Worcestershire. Well, I can't decide right now, I'm just gonna wait until I can see the surface until I start narrowing down the names. Plus, this is a team effort, but I don't think we're calling it New France. (I begin to look over some blueprints)
