[b]<RP INTRODUCTION/SHORT EXPLANATION_>[/b]
Welcome to Red Star Rising, a Sci-Fi survival RP with resource management. This RP is intended to be different in the fact that I will have complete control over whatever you find, with a few resources being exceptions. For example; you can always find ice on the moon, so long as it recently transitioned from night to day(As ice will accumulate during the night and decay slowly throughout the day). And though you may find ice anywhere, only the GMs can say if there is a cave system, structure, vehicle, or wreckage nearby, and only I can say how much of what resources you will find there. I promise I will be generous with this system, so long as no one abuses anything(namely the Co-GM(s)).

This takes place after a Human Frigate crash lands on an uncharted moon. Resource management is essential to your survival - you must watch your oxygen, radiation, and Warmpth levels, gathering metals and minerals to build new equipment and tools. But you'll soon discover that you aren't alone...you'll have to build new weapons and armor, using everything at your disposal to your advantage.

Your mission is to regroup, survive, and repair a shuttle to working condition so that you might escape the desolate moon.

Also - please make note that any and all of the information displayed here is subject to change, as rules and procedures may be added or modified.

[b]<GENERAL RULES_>[/b]
1. No godmodding, metagaming, or otherwise "spawning" your own resources or controlling someone else's character without consent. This rule applies to Co-GMs too, but I can - and I will - break this rule only in the case that I am
2. You will respect everyone in this RP, I will not allow the exchange of harsh words. If someone offends you, speak up; whether in the OOC or in a PM. The amount of chances you get to violate this rule will be based on the gravity of the offense.
3. If you do not post IC for more than 2 days [i]without[/i] prior notification, your character will be killed. [i]However[/i] if you have recently posted in the OOC then that time limit will be extended to a maximum of 4 days unless you are holding the RP, or any one person, back.
4. Your IC posts should be no shorter than four sentences, and I do not expect more than three paragraphs per post due to the nature of this RP.
5. When you post IC, please wait for 3 other people to post before posting again. If 12 hours pass without anyone posting, the posting delay is lowered to 2 posts instead of 3. If a whole day goes by without anyone posting then the posting delay is removed. Just don't double-post, cause that would be pointless.

[b]<ROLEPLAY IC RULES AND PROCEDURES_>[/b]
1. My role in the IC concerns much more than just playing my character and being the GM. I am in control of all natural resources(Including "spawning" NPCs, but as long as they aren't too significant anyone can control them), so I will decide what you will find and in what quantity. I will also include "System Messages" in my IC posts, which will tell you what is nearby and warn you of any dangers that threaten your survival. Next, all GMs are in control of what kind of special or significant scenery and environments, if any, can be found nearby(such as caves, buildings, vehicles, wreckage, or canyons, craters, mountains, etc.).
2. Please abide by the stats of your character during combat, after all you got to choose the stats. Failure to comply will result in a warning, while continued disregard for this rule will be categorized as godmodding and/or metagaming.
3. Time will pass continuously in this RP, varying in speed dependent upon the speed of posting. If no more than 10 IC posts(will be voted on) are made in no less than 6 hours IRL, then the 10th post will signal the passing of 1 hour in the IC. If no less than 10 IC posts are made in no more than 6 hours, then the passing of the hour(in the IC) will be after the 20th post.
4. Oxygen will decay at 1 unit per hour IC, and is relatively easy to replenish as all you need is ice and any kind of Forge. You will be alerted when your oxygen levels are low enough to cause certain Conditions, but you [i]cannot[/i] replenish oxygen when in combat. 
5. Radiation will make traversing the surface during daytime more dangerous, and if you're caught outside during dangerous daylight hours then your character will receive varying stacks per post with radiation. If the star has just risen, you will get less stacks than if your character were to get if they were outside at midday. The more marks you have, the more you stage up through the levels of Radiation Poisoning.
6. Energy functions as the equivalent to Oxygen for a robot character, only it lasts much longer. In addition to a more expensive resource cost to refill/recharge, there are less warnings and Conditions that can occur from low Energy than there are for low Oxygen, with the results being much more lethal. This was originally going to be a survival mechanic also used in certain tools and equipment, but was removed due to overcomplicating the RP.

[b]<CHARACTER CREATION_>[/b]

[hider=<CHARACTER RULES AND EXPLANATIONS>]
1. Everyone please post your characters to the OOC tab, I will put all the characters together into one post in the Characters tab so that I can actively change their stats to reflect events in the IC.
2. You will get skill points to distribute to your character's stats. These stats [i]will[/i] be affected/changed by the equipment your character uses. If you go over the skill point limit, you will be told and won't be accepted until you fix it, and if you go under you will be told but can still be accepted. 
3. Skill-stats are used as follows:
Intelligence is required to research technology and medical treatments, build and repair technology, and treat wounds, conditions, and illnesses more effectively. Technology is Engineer specific, and Medical Treatment is Doctor specific.
Strength plays a role in how much damage is dealt with melee and how effective mining is. Every 10 points of Strength multiplies melee damage by +0.1, and every 5 points increases mining effectiveness by 10%.
Agility is what determines number of attacks possible per post, dodge capability, and acrobatic/stealth ability. Every 10 points equals 1 attack per post and so long as your agility is higher than your opponent's you can successfully insta-dodge [i]once[/i] per post.
Endurance deals with the amount of actions that can be done per post in combat, as well as granting additional health. Every 10 points equals 1 action per post in combat(Attacking, dodging, blocking), and every 10 points adds 5 points of health.
4. You can have up to 3 characters, but only one can be a robot character.
5. The ship our characters were on was dedicated to more humanitarian needs, not military. I will not allow sergeants, captains, soldiers, or the like.
6. When I get a hold of your CS's to post in the characters tab you may notice some stat changes, that is because I will be adding the stat modifiers from your characters' suits, equipment, and even your profession. Be aware that your possessions can also affect your stats.
7. Your Pod-Squad cannot consist of more than 3 other characters, cause the pods are all auto-piloted 4-seaters, and though it's only meant to identify starting groups it can still be used to identify player squadrons.
