We are the third planet from the sun, Earth. This vast and beautiful place we call home. It’s filled with wonderful creatures and life that we still don’t know much about. From the trees to the seas, we have yet discovered the majority of this planet. It’s been a working progress since time began to be written. Even the starry night has been researched on for many years. However, what about the other eight planets? We know very little about any of them, except for maybe Mars. However, Mars is the closest planet to us and we can only predict what it could be or could had been on Mars at one point or another. Yet, scientist and astronomers have never been satisfied with just knowing the basics of Mars, or even the other planets that spin around us. We have sent out rovers to Mars and a couple other planets to get more information about them, but that is the extent of the missions. Most were failures or not enough information was transmitted back to have a understanding of the planets. For years, we have built better telescopes, camera imaging, robots spent into space, and god knows what else to help us have a better understanding of the basic planets around us. Lets not even discuss the option of flying out of our own solar system! The unknown has been waiting for us to discover it for a very long time, and we have put very little effort into trying to find out more about the other planets in hopes that we could maybe live somewhere else besides this place we call home. In the the beginning of the 1800’s, Earth began to change. Not on a noticeable rate, but enough for the planet to begin it’s changes. By the time 2000’s came, it was already to late to change anything. We as the human race, we had already sped up the process of the Earths changes. We were helping it decompose on its self. By 2145, we were given a warning. We had maybe 150 years before we as the human race would be wiped out for good. The Earth by this time was reaching record highs in temperatures, the sea levels were depleting, wildlife and plants began to died off in a alarming rate. The Earth was in fact.. dying. As the human race, there was nothing more we could do to prevent the decay of the place we took for granted. We had to find a solution, and fast to prevent everything from Earth from dying. Scientist came up with the only solution the thought would deem fit; to start discovering these unknown planets. They called this mission, the Alpha/Beta Experiment. The idea was to create a incubator to support a child sleeping for long amounts of time in space, and once the ship made it to it’s destination, the child would awake and grow up on the planet (with the help of the Nanny Robot of course!). With the assistance of the Robot, the child or grow up learning how to live on the planet, survive, gather information for Earth, and hopefully create a colony for future child to be born and raised on the other planets. Every year, Earth would send out a crate full of food, supplies, and other various items to help the children support themselves on the planet for as long as they live. By the year 2098, human life could be extended up too 125-135 years of age. With this project, each of the children have access to talk to one another through a computer system, and also with the researchers on Earth. They have access to everything, and anything, except contacting anyone from Earth. This project was projected to take up too 150 years to complete, with a very specific goal in mind: Being able to colonize on another planet for future generations. But first, they have the learn about each planet individually to know how to properly colonize on each planet. Once all the information was gathered about each of the eight planets, then both the children and scientists would make a determination on which planet seemed fit to start a colony and begin a new life on one of the chosen planets. They hoped this mission would work, because this was the only solution to saving everything on Earth. If this mission was a failure, then everything would be lost forever. Each child was adopted from birth. The children would never know there families. The only families they would get to know is the ones on the mission. Once the children reached there planet, they were taught a very young age to start working on there mission. They were told that they were not the first children to run these missions, but they were the last hope in saving Earth, putting a huge responsibility on them at a young age. By the age of 10, they had already finished schooling and was expected to learn a trait. Each child was given a main trait by the scientists to help the research of that planet, and then given a second trait of there choosing. By the age of 18, they had already learned both traits, and were given very specific orders: 1. Grow and maintain life, outside of the main camp. 2. Create breathable air, drinkable water, and edible food on the planet. 3. Make contact with life, if possible. 4. Report all findings. 5. 75 years to complete this mission. (Rough age would be 93 y/o). If the mission was a failure on a curtain planet, the children where then sent to another planet to help assist with the mission on that planet. They were not allowed to populate with each other. However, they were allowed to marry if they so happen to choose too, only with the partner they shared the same planet with. Our story begins at the ages of 35 y/o. Our children have already learned a lot about each of there planets. Some are already realizing that the possibility of life on their planet is not a option, while others are figuring out how the maintain life, with a twist. Each planet has a twist of its own, creating the idea of which planet could be fit for Earth to move too. Only the children really have a full understanding of the issues and ideals of the planets for this mission to be successful. [hider=Any Interests?]I am looking for a small group of people to start this RP. This is a slow replying RP. I don't expect everyone to post something everyday. I would like to see maybe 3-4 posts a week, however I understand that things can get busy in peoples lives. I love to role-play, but cannot keep up with the high demand of posting everyday or excepting to be on everyday. I am looking to have some fun with this and take time creating this idea. I am also looking for a Co-GM to help me with this. I want to see if there is any real interest in this idea. If so, then I will type up more about each planet, and each of the "twists". Hope yawl enjoy![/hider] [hider=Basic Information about the Planets] I have included basic information about each of the planets. Once you have chosen your planet, I will give you some "twists" you have to work with. When you start, you need to make it clear whether the planet will be able sustain life or not. This way we can start narrowing down to the one planet the human race will be living on. I also expect you to do more research on your own planet to help yourself along with the role-play. Mercury 1.
