@FreeRanged Message downrange, I like the idea of creating some background. It makes a more believable story if the characters aren't just dropped in all disjointed.

Here are the two WIP sheets for both of my characters. I should hopefully get them both finished tomorrow after I sort out any potential relations.




Man, this movie just got big budget with those sheets!

Hey guys, don't worry I'm still involved, I'll reply to some of your PMs soon.

I feel so left out.

Definitely interested. I'm gonna have a character with DID, although I gotta figure out what job would suit her best.

I just saw Alien: Covenant thursday night and did not enjoy it as much as I would've liked to. It wasn't a complete mess but it had many, many issues in my opinion.

@Xandrya great to hear! Perhaps someone in the medical field?

@The Spectre it looks all good to me. Accepted, please post it in the characters' tab.

Emilia Lee Grey (& Nathaniel James)

Age - 31

Sex - Female

Occupation - Medical Writer

Appearance - Emilia is of below average height, standing at approximately 5'1, with dark-brown hair and eyes. She has a tongue piercing and a shoulder tattoo on her left shoulder reading "Non Omnis Moriar" which from Latin translates into "Not All Of Me Shall Die". Her wardrobe primarily consists of items with neutral tones and the occasional flashy piece, therefore you will more than likely see her in jeans and a plain t-shirt most of the time. Since Emilia is able to work from home more often than not, except when she has to stop by the hospital for a quick consultation or meeting, she doesn't own any business suits. Instead, she has a small collection of dresses, most of them red or black.

In the rare occasion that Nathan comes out, she will wear looser-fitting jeans and a plain, black t-shirt. Her hair will be tied back into a ponytail and her posture will be a bit more reserved. Likewise, her voice will sound deeper with a slight accent.

Strengths - Since she's a medical writer, Emilia has vast knowledge of the medical field. That's not to say she uses such knowledge to practice, but rather, she's able to answer questions nearly as easily as a doctor. She loves reading all the information she's exposed to and that makes it a little bit easier to remember such data in bulk. Emilia specializes in illness and disease research, however, she's co-authored pharmacology reports as well as some pediatric papers.

Weaknesses - Her condition, DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder). Emilia's alternate personality is Nathaniel James, the 33-year-old man depicted above. Whenever he takes over, Emilia will not have any recollection over what occurred, and sometimes that leads the young woman to find herself in awkward situations with no idea as to how she got there.

Personality - Emilia is generally a cheerful person, often smiling and joking around when she's surrounded by friends. Nathan, on the the other hand, is not as approachable. He prefers to be left alone and often makes an active attempt to avoid any form of interaction. Emilia is the type of person who enjoys having a quiet night at home while drinking a bottle of wine just as well as going out with a group of people. Her mentality is simply to enjoy life, and for her, that involves doing whatever she feels like at the moment.

With that said, Emilia is a bit shy and reserved around strangers. It takes a bit more work than usual to gain her trust, but she's learned that she hasn't had the need to get rid of toxic people in her life as often as others, and her sense of safety hasn't been completely compromised just yet.

Family - None.

Backstory - Emilia was born and raised in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Unfortunately, her childhood was anything but memorable. She often suffered from abuse at the hands of her mother and stepfather, who saw Emilia as a nuisance instead of a child whose only expectation was to be loved. This went on for a couple of years until the authorities finally received a report of what was going on in Emilia's home thanks to a concerned neighbor.

As soon as her mom and stepfather were taken away, Emilia was placed under the care of a welcoming family. But the damage had already been done, and Emilia was stuck dealing with the consequences. It wasn't until she reached her teenage years and experienced her first incident of bullying that her family realized Emilia was suffering from DID. She nearly beat the other girl into a coma, and after a session with school staff, Emilia was sent to see a therapist when she kept insisting she couldn't remember anything from the incident. That's when Emilia and her family finally learned the truth, and surprisingly, Emilia took it pretty well for someone her age.

Once she got to college, the studious side of her showed even more. She often spent her nights buried behind books and rarely engaged in any social activities, The same routine went on for the first two years of her university career until she decided that it was best to have some sort of balance in her life. She started going out more, dating, making friends, etc. Her family immediately noticed the personality change, and they were happy for her.

After finally graduating, Emilia settled down to work within a hospital as a Medical Writer. Things were great for her and it showed. When she saw an ad for a job exactly like hers but with higher pay, Emilia applied simply to see what other perks came with the position. Little did she know that the Weyland-Yutani Corporation was looking for someone with her specific skills and after a successful interview, she was offered a position on the spot.

@Xandrya hmmm, interesting character. It looks good to me, please post the CS in the characters' tab.

The IC has just gone up, everyone who has been accepted can get to work doing intro posts. I'm excited to see what y'all will come up with for that! To those still working on sheets, you can still post them on the OOC for acceptance. I'm probably going to keep applying to join the RP open until the end of the week.

@FreeRanged it had a ton of the problems I had with Prometheus. The characters were just total idiots, so many stupid decisions, for a crew of handpicked, talented people they had no protocols for anything. They all just seem like such dumbasses, it's infuriating to think about. It was also so predictable, like without going into spoilers it seemed so easy to figure out what was going to happen next and no one seemed surprised by the "twist ending".

I didn't totally hate it, just was very disappointed and expected more. It was a beautiful film to look at, Fassbender was amazing in it and the new neomorph aliens were scary as hell.

@SunsetWanderer the sheet looks all good to me. It is accepted and you can post it in the character's tab. Poor guy like everyone else doesn't know what they're about to get in to, haha.

I mean, most of this also holds true for pretty much all of the Nostromo's crew. Same for the Marine unit in Aliens. But that's the only reason ANY horror movie works. Having recently watched Covenant, and then rewatched the first two movies, I can safely say that there wasn't much difference in the responses from the crew. Not to mention that, barring one of the crew who was intended to be an ex-Colonial Marine, most of the crew were former civilians with basic Weyland Corp. security training, and were part of a Weyland colonization mission, never intended to see anything resembling a combat scenario, and only had guns in the event of hostile actions between colonists, they can't really be blamed for poor handling of the situation.

@Heat I'll have to let you know what my take on the movie is once I see it, planning on taking it in late this week. The CS has been done for a bit in the original post. I've included it here for the final review, I think we got mixed up in the shuffle... I was kinda wondering if anything was wrong with it because I was seeing others accepted. Let me know what, if anything, needs to change. I also dropped you a vignette PM of some of the issues relating to his past.

Here is the CS for your approval.

Man, I saw Covenant recently, so I am hyped! I'm thinking a veterinarian or regular doctor who doesn't work at the research facility, and is just as unprepared as anyone else.

Here's the thing though. The Nostromo were horribly outmatched, and weren't on the lookout for strange Alien lifeforms. These guys SHOULD have been on the lookout, and they still made elementary mistakes and were fucking idiots.
