Alright, so give this is a small group RP (to keep encounters easier to manage when the group gets to their first planet), I think I should start preparing this with a sheet. Though, outside of some minor sections the only thing I'm going to really want from you guys in these sheets is their backstory/life, their occupation before leaving Earth, and some tertiary details (Name, Age, Ethnicity, Nationality, etc.) 

[hider=Character Sheet Fields]
 - Full Name
 - Designation: DLP Identification Code, given to you by the GM
 - Date of Birth
 - Nationality: American, British, etc.
 - Ethnic Background: Caucasian, etc.
 - Previous Occupation: Professor of Anthropology, etc.
 - Vocation: Your assigned vocation by the DLP for future roles on a colony (Thespian, Laborer, etc) 
 - Physical Description: In lieu of an image, describe your height, weight, physical appearance, etc.
 - Psychological Analysis: Personality, be sure to include how the aliens would profile your opinion of the greater galaxy and your cooperativeness in the project.
 - Character Profile: basically a fancy word for life history

Unlike other RPs I've done I won't worry about the aesthetics of these things too much. I don't want to see an image in your sheet when it's done. The formatting will be light and easy to understand. Trying something [i]old school[/i] here.
