[OOC] StarFall - The Arrival

[gamer5]

Starfall
The Arrival


For centuries man has looked at the stars
Wondering if there is life beyond our world
Who cloud have know it would come raining down
Inside a shower of meteorites which would become
One of the greatest catastrophes in human history.

Out Of Character

It was a normal 4st July 2014, in most countries it was a regular Friday but in the city of the Chicago the crowds were celebrating Independence Day. But unknown to humanity a cloud of thousand of hundreds space rocks approaches Earth, accelerating as it does. Then at 17:13:23 GTM the first rocks collide with Earth's surface, causing massive devastation as the rocks rain upon all parts of the planet. It takes almost 30 hours for the bombardment to stop, leaving devastated landscapes and countless dead.
But before humanity can even start rebuilding the surviving remain of the meteoroids which fallen now crack open, unleashing alien organisms of many forms and sizes of which almost all start causing more chaos and destruction; but a few of those aliens form some sort of peaceful cohabitation with humans. Now will humanity survive?

The RP will focus on members of military (and similar organizations) or those which will form some sort of connection with an alien which will allow them to fight back.

We will start by an introduction post, which will follow the day of the characters up to a few minutes to the start of the shower at their longitude (in Chicago this would be a few minutes before 11:22:51 local time). Then we shall proceed to the bombardment, getting to a safe place and finally the aftermath scenes. Until this point you can even have and use a temp character that will be disposed off in the aftermath.
After the aftermath we shall proceed onwards until the part at which humanity or is defeated, manages to hold off the aliens or eradicates them all from the face of the Earth. That will mark the end of StarFall The Arrival and the start of a continuation RP!

This RP will:
Have Aliens, Catastrophic Events, Life & Death Situations, Superpowers.
Be happening in Chicago, Illinois, USA, America, Earth, Sol System, Milky Way.
This RP might:
Have anything not listed bellow.
This RP will not:
Have IC one liners.

We are in Chicago to have an easy to navigate city, especially with google maps or other similar stuff.

Name: SSGT Kelly J. Blanton
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Ethnicity/Nationality: Caucasian/America

Occupation: United States Army Ranger
Education: Highschool Graduate

Appearance:

Bio: Growing up, Kelly was always the smart kid, however he was incredibly shy, so he never had many friends. This lead to him retreating into himself mostly, watching the Military Channel and reading a lot. This lead to a romanticized view of the military as a result of the heroics present to the boy. This lead to a strong desire to join the military, which was only reinforced when two of his cousins enlisted over his lifetime. He became a cross country runner in Middle School, and quickly fell in love So when he got in high-school and found a true friend, who wanted to enlist with him, that only strengthened his desire to join the army. The pair enlisted under an Option 40 contract so they were immediately training to be Rangers when he was 18.

Kelly was promoted thanks to acts of leadership while on deployment and his eventual seniority, including leading his squad in multiple raids against insurgents in the Middle East. He's received a Purple Heart and a Silver Star for wounds and acts of bravery during in one such raid. A sniper had the team pinned down, and a wounded soldier was out in the open. Kelly, at the time just a sergeant, didn't even ask for volunteers among his squad, he darted out into the night, running and ducking to secure his fallen comrade. He got the soldier back, but took a 7.62 round to the thigh while securing the man. The raid was completed, and Kelly was given 2 months of medical leave. Kelly is currently on assignment in Chicago to the Great Lakes Training Facility, serving as a training aide.

Personality: Kelly is a determined man, and always does his best to finish what he starts, no matter what. He has become a more outgoing man since joining the Army, but he is still timid until he knows you well. Kelly is a kind guy and tries his best to help his friends, though he also has a vengeful side and rarely lets a wrong go unpunished, especially when directed at one of his friends. He is noble, and loyal to a fault, and always keeps his word, which has lead to conflict with authority figures before, particularly his parents

Skills:

Other - Kelly is very imaginative and is good at writing

Not bad, but the bio is somehow troubling since most of this is what will be done in the IC! So if you plant to use this character redo the Bio so it speaks about her life in general, not what she done during the Arrival.

gamer5 said We will start by an introduction post, which will follow the day of the characters up to a few minutes to the start of the shower at their longitude (in Chicago this would be a few minutes before 11:22:51 local time). Then we shall proceed to the bombardment, getting to a safe place and finally the aftermath scenes.

After the aftermath we shall proceed onwards until the part at which humanity or is defeated, manages to hold off the aliens or eradicates them all from the face of the Earth. That will mark the end of StarFall The Arrival and the start of a continuation RP!

Hey, I'm still interested in this. But life happens and I got sidetrack and unmotivated. But I'm back now.

[gamer5]

OK. Glad to see you here. Hope more fellow roleplayers show up soon.
