Late 2019 astronomers discovered what was though first to be an asteroid traveling on an unusual course throughout the solar system, further investigation revealed the true nature of the Object, On February 5th, 2020, NASA made the official anouncement as to the nature of the Object, a clearly artificial structure of extraterrestrial Origin. Social media exploded across the globe, the motivations and level of technology possessed by this alien species is unknown, though presumed to be advanced due to the level of technology presumedly required to travel across the galaxy.

The nations of the U.N security council, with a speed unheard of for such an organization, Established the Planetary Defense Initiative to study the extraterrestrial phenomenon and determine if they threaten humanity, and find methods of protecting humanities interests in the case of hostile, or otherwise non-benevolent intent.

I have 4 proposals for how this roleplay will work.

1.Command Level: Players will not be field agents of the PDI, instead they will be leading members of the PDI, The world will rest in your shoulders.

2.Agent Level: Players will play the role of people sent out in the field by the PDI to deal with reported extraterrestrial activity, coming face to face with Alien phenomenon. The PDI counts on people like you.

3.Aftermath: Starting a little bit later in the timeline, 10 years has passed since the PDI was founded.

4.Nation level: Players will play as various organizations around the world, Such as the Red Cross, The United States of America, Corporations, and other large organizations who are dealing with the alien threat in whatever way they see fit. Might also be some roles for players wanting to play as groups of aliens...

In general, The PDI will start with access to Technology available today, a few advancements have been made in the last few years, and they have access to some sweet top secret stuff, but nothing too fancy. Nowhere near the level of tech possessed by the aliens. You have access to a great deal of funding but you were organized in a rush.

Inspirations Include: X-com, Arrival, Half Life, Blindsight, X-files, and district 9

Interest checked, just popping in. My internet might be out until tomorrow (they're redoing my floors, including the place where the modem sits) but I'll be up in the Discord for talking about it.

I'm kinda interested in 1 and even have a character in mind but mostly in 2. 3 will depend on what the premise is (if we've been conquered, if we're still holding out by the skin of our teeth, etc). Not interested in 4, Nation-level stuff doesn't appeal to me. I just don't have that frame of mind to look at the huge picture enough to make it my main focal point.

Thinking of moving this to the Casual interest check, what is the general protocol for that?

@Lucidnonsense
Copy-pasting.

I guess you could ask a mod if they could move it.

1, 2 and possibly 3 all sound like interesting RP ideas to me. I juts picked up Xcom 2 again, so this couldn't have come along at a better time.
