The year is 2172, the human colony of Hestia Prime was founded by Weyland-Yutani Corporation more than three decades ago. Hestia Prime is quiet world with twenty hour days, many of its residents are either farmers or miners, though there are many exciting career opportunities available here for newcomers. The world's current population is just over 800 people, but with new arrivals moving to the colony every passing day. While further away from some of the other colonies. Hestia Prime is a breathtaking world turned into a warm, welcoming home via terraformation. 

Massive, awe inspiring mountains span much of the world, there offer a jaw dropping view of the colony. The grass is green as it is on Earth, fields of grains covering much of the once barren surfaces. A fresh water lake filled with imported fish is to the east of the colony. Trees have been planted and are growing in the outskirts of the colony, soon animals shall be brought here and will further bring the world to life. The settlement which the populations live in is growing larger and more active by the day, The White Star Casino has recently been completed, a golf course being finished as well. There is so much to do on the beautiful world of Hestia Prime!

It is a fresh start, a place for ambitious, future driven people who seek to help the colony grow and prosper. Employment options are available in the Weyland-Yutani Corporation science facility, located to the north of the main colony. New technologies are created here and scientific breakthroughs are made every single day. Jobs are also open in the mineral mines of the world, where massive machinery pulls necessary metals from the underground of the world. There are careers available in security where colonists can enforce the law and help make the world a better place. Other corporations have set up operations here, a bustling business sector offers careers in multiple fields. A state of the art hospital resides in the center of the settlement, staffed by some of the most talented doctors and surgeons that Weyland-Yutani could find. 

Families are welcome to Hestia Prime, the more the merrier!

[hider=OOC Summary]
So this is an advanced RP set in the terrifying Alien universe, one of my favorite film series. This storyline will be set after the first film, but several years before the second one, [i]Aliens[/i]. The plot focuses on a recently founded colony world, with a dark, horrific secret. To not spoil the surprise, it will involve Xenomorphs and some serious chest bursting and bone chilling horror. The story will begin before the chaos begins, where it starts to take form and the characters are getting used to their new home. This idea has been in my mind for a while now, with the newest film in the series releasing on Friday, I figured what better time than now to try this roleplay idea?

This roleplay will be more akin to the first film than the more action minded second one, that means more suspense, terror and general bloodiness. While there will be action, it won't be the total focus. Our characters will not know what they are getting into, or what is happening when everything goes south. I will allow a few to work in the science labs for Weyland-Yutani, where they may get an earlier sight of the vicious aliens than the others. No one is aware of what a xenomorph is, or that Weyland-Yutani is about to unleash a horror that none of them will be at all prepared for.

[h3]Rules[/h3]
[b]1.[/b] The usual, no godmodding, metagaming, etc, etc.
[b]2.[/b] Advanced standards apply. Ultimately I prefer quality over quantity but I expect at least two solid paragraphs per IC post.
[b]3.[/b] Roleplay in third person.
[b]4.[/b] Characters can (and likely will) die, accept that if you do something stupid you may not survive it. There will be [i]lots[/i] of death, I enjoy butchering NPCs.
[b]5.[/b] The movies are not short on gore or general body horror, neither will this RP. I enjoy getting very descriptive with this type of subject matter, if you can't handle plenty of blood and guts, this isn't for you.
[b]6.[/b] This is science fiction but its still based in reality, if your character is a farmer who happens upon a pulse rifle, they're not instantly gonna be like a space marine handling it.
[b]7.[/b] There will be action in this RP but it will not be the focus, there will probably be slow moments but those will be in the name of plot buildup.
[b]8.[/b] Please no super long collabs, they're totally okay to do just don't go overboard.
[b]9.[/b] You go two weeks without replying on the OOC/IC you'll be dropped from the character roster. Real life always comes first, if it does and you need to leave the RP then don't hesitate to shoot me a message in that case.
[b]10.[/b] Please don't randomly ditch if you do lose interest, at least drop me a message or on the OOC that you're dropping out. 
[b]11.[/b] I'll allow each player in this RP up to two PCs. Your characters can have (small) families, they'll be NPCs though, unless you'd like to make one of them your second char. 

[hr][h3]Character Creation[/h3]
Everyone plays humans, as for occupations and what they do, that is a bit more flexible. Feel free to come up with a job that you think would be available on the colony, note that security officers are the only ones allowed to carry firearms on the world. I will allow a small amount of chars to be scientists or security within the science laboratory, they'll get an early glance at the 'fun' before everyone else's characters.
