					[i]2184, Five years after the incident on LV-426[/i]

[i][url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfM55EMm_cY]The[/url] colony BT-191 has gone dark, Hammer Platoon of the United States Colonial Marines has failed to checked in. Allied Command, at the insistence of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, have sent another squad of marines to investigate Hammer's disappearance, provide aid if necessary and resolve the situation on BT-191. [/i]

[i]BT-191 has only a small colony on it's surface called St. Ciprian's, with a population of about three hundred. Owned and Administered by Weyland-Yutani, the colony is unexceptional at best, with it's only key industry being mineral mining. Before Hammer Platoon's arrival and subsequent vanishing, many thought that St. Ciprian's simply had an equipment malfunction. But now the recent events have suggested something darker.[/i]

[i]Hammer Platoon's replacements, callsign Jester squad, is newly formed and this will be their first operation serving together. Assigned to the USC Ticonderoga, they are currently in cryosleep for the twenty-four week trip to BT-191. Their presence has not gone unnoticed, however, and soon other eyes have found their way to St. Ciprians...[/i]

I know this seems like an odd choice, but I haven't seen an Aliens themed RP on here in a while, so I decided to take a shot at it.

What I am looking for is a group of players willing to play Colonial Marines, who are tough, foul-mouthed badasses who are called in when everything else has failed. As marines, the players will solve the mystery of BT-191 and fight the dreaded Xenomorphs, along with a few surprises along the way. 

[hider=Rules]I have a few general rules when it comes to characters and the RP in general.
1. Please, for the love of god, don't be an asshole. Nothing ruins a game faster than someone treating their GM or fellow players like crap.
2. No overpowered super soldiers here. The Marines are badasses, but they are still humans, and shouldn't expect to survive getting to close to a Xeno.
3. I don't really mind post length. Just try to aim for a paragraph. More would be better.
4. I'm not a stickler for spelling and grammer, but I need to know what you are saying. If your post makes no sense, I will tell you.
5. If you have an issue with something that is going on or are planning to drop from the game, please PM me so we can talk about it.[/hider]

[hider=The Colonial Marines] 
[i]Another glorious day in the Corps! A day in the Marine Corps is like a day on the farm. Every meal’s a banquet! Every paycheck a fortune! Every formation a parade! I *love* the Corps! -Master Sergeant Al Apone[/i]

The United States Colonial Marines are the best trained, best equipped and best motivated fighting force that humanity has ever known. Their Officer receive special training and college educations, while the average grunt gets a nice paycheck and bragging rights. Their battle honors cover the entire galaxy. Tientsin, Helene 215, Linna 349 and many other worlds have felt the boots of Marines on their soil. The Marines unofficial rule is "No Marine Left Behind", and any marine that doesn't follow this simple rule is ostracized. [/hider]

[hider=Marine Weapons]
[i]We got tactical smart missiles, phased plasma pulse rifles, RPGs, we got sonic electronic ball breakers! We got nukes, we got knives, sharp sticks… -Private William Hudson[/i]

The Marines are the best, and thus only expect the best in regards to their equipment. Their mainline battle rifle is the [url=http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/4/2010/11/aliens_pulse_rifle_replica_2.jpg]M4A1 Pulse Rifle[/url]. Fully automatic 10x24mm caseless cartridges and equipped with an underslung 30mm grenade launcher, this rifle is the Marines first defense on those that would do them harm. 

When danger comes in close, many Marines carry shotguns and pistols of various types and calibers. Allied Command is generally lax on the surplus equipment of their Marines, so they are encouraged to find and customize their weapons, whether the augments are practical or aesthetic. 

Even more so than the Pulse Rifle, the [url=http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/avp/images/d/dc/Drake_with_Smart_Gun.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/640?cb=20140803201946]M56 Smartgun [/url] is the signature weapon of the Colonial Marines. Firing the same caseless ammo as the Pulse Rifle, but at a much higher rate of fire and at greater range, the Smartgun is capable of ripping flesh and even steel apart with ease. When fitted with a combat harness and a Head Mounted Sight, then a marine can deliver accurate and deadly fire.[/hider]

[hider=Weyland-Yutani]
[i]I don't know which species is worse. You don't see them fucking each other over for a goddamn percentage.[/i]- Warrant Officer Ellen Ripley. 

The Weyland-Yutani Corporation is the largest company on Earth and owns nearly everything and every place where humanity has a presence. Having completely covered up the events on LV-426, they will do nearly anything it takes to make a profit, including murder.[/hider]

I think that covers all the basics. Anyone interested enough for me to create a character template? Come chat on the Discord server [url=https://discord.gg/B7NTEqp]here[/url].
