For the Hive

First there is darkness. The soft cool wetness that is your existence.
But there is sound outside that, a noise calling from beyond the bounds of your universe, a yearning within your soul, to leave the safety of your protective layer. To explore the world outside, to find, to seek... Something...
To find movement, to leap onto it, to grapple for its respiratory orifice, and force your eggs inside.
Your limbs twitch, dreamlike in your torpid state, but then the gates of the universe open, allowing you into the cold breeze of the world.
It is dark in the cold world outside of your egg, but there are lights in the distance.
A flickering beam, footsteps, voices, breathing...

You are beneath a stack of square objects, piled loosely enough for you to move within them unseen.
There is a large object outside the pile, it hums and vibrates with heat and gas, but it does not seem to be alive.
Beyond that there are voices and footsteps of the approaching life forms.
You are not alone.

The light in the room is poor but that does not matter. A facehugger sensory organs were never the best. There are three paths to take. To the left is a a short hallway that leads to the left side of the dimly light room. No footsteps seem to be coming from the direction but it is the darkest part of the large maze like room. It wouldn't be difficult to attract someone in there. To the right are two paths. A ventilation shaft hangs open. While the shaft could lead to prime positioning, there is not telling where it will lead. The hallway on the right leads directly to the footsteps yet their numbers are unknown. While your design certainly helpa in bypassing the natural defenses of most organisms, it could be risky. Another option is yet available. Several facehuggers could certainly fit inside the boxes and leap when the time is right. It's time to decide if the perfect species can be birthed.

My apologies, I'll fix that now.

For the Hive

Hive

In this tab, I will keep track of all the xenomorphs in your hive. This will include drones, warriors, etc.

I will even keep track of the stats of xenomorphs you make npc's.
This tab will be constantly edited as the rp goes on.

You are to post the template here to show you have interest. Do not worry about having the numbered kcals. Those are points required to upgrade that stat.

Obviously, your stats will start at 1. That doesn't make you weak however. As you consume people, you will gain kilo calories which you can use to lv up your stats or nolt into a new caste. Obviously, this will constantly updated by you as you advance through the rp. Obviously, you will start with zero kcals. I apologize for any confusion. This is my first time doing something like this and am still tweaking things. You will be informed of any updates.
Example:

200 kcal Toughness: 1
100 kcal Movement: 1
50 kcal Perception: 1
150 kcal Strength: 1
150 kcal Bioweaponry: 1
500 kcal Molt: drone
Current kcals: 0

So, as you may have guessed it, this is a xenomorph to. You aren't some marine going on a big hunt or surviving a living nightmare however, you are the nightmare. Things will be simple, you will start off as a simple yet horrifying facehugger and work your way through the xenomorph life cycle.
Now you may have several questions. "What good is a cs when we will all be the same species?" That is an excellent question. Xenomorphs are basically the same among their respective caste system and have roughly the same abilities outside of some being smarter than others.

Template

Toughness: 200 kcal
Movement: 100 kcal
Perception: 50 kcal
Strength: 150 kcal
Bioweaponry: 150 kcal
Molt: 500 kcal

That is where this template comes in. As you can see, this template will allow you to personalize your living nightmare to be more to your liking. As you hunt and kill, consuming the remains of your kill will reward you with a certain amount of kilocalories which you can use to gain upgrades. This allows you all to be the same yet different and establish roles into the hive that you will be creating. Another question may be "What if I want to be a xenomorph like the mantis or even the xeno crusher?" I won't be allowing genetically altered xenomorphs as it would complicate things but that is also where this template and 'upgrades' come into play. These stats must be at certain ranks to meet the prerequisites to achieve certain forms such as the xenocrusher or swimmer xenomorph.

Now, in most rp's, if you want another character then your first character has to die. You won't have to do that here. This is a hive after all. If you become dissasstisfied with your personal xenomorph then don't worry. You can always surrender control of your xenomorph to the hive (make it an npc) and start again so long as there is another facehugger about.

I am hoping this gets the interest it needs to start. As a fair warning, I'm still tweaking the template and the chart for prerequisites to other forms and such. If you have any questions or would even like to contribute to the chart then please talk to me.

General Rules

1. Don't be a jerk, have a good time.
2. Yes, you are the perfect organism, that doesn't mean I can't turn you into a bullet sponge.
3. Do not take over anyones character without permission.
4. One nightmare inducing killer per person.
5. To show interest, simply post the template in the characters tab. Exclude the kcals, those are cost points for upgrades.

Rules of the Xenomorph

Simply put, I'm going to tell you how things will unfold. If at any point you feel your xenomorph is not up to your standard, you are more than welcome to surrender ypur xenomorph to the hive, this means you won't be able to control it anymore and it will become am npc. If there is a face hugger available, you may assume control of it in hopes to obtain a new host and start with a fresh xenomorph. Everything will be reactionary, meaning you tell me ypur plan and how you wish to execute it, and I will tell you how everything unfolds. This prevents you from slaughtering an entire squad of marines in one post. As you may know, xenomorphs aren't the smartest creatures, however, they do poses more than adequate problem solving skills and are smarter than ypur average killing machine. That being said, your experiences could certainly come in in certain scenarios, so don't be afraid to get creative with your plans.

Scenarios

You all will be able to vote in which scenario you would like to try and develops your hive in. Sorry I don't have more. Couldn't think of a variety at the time

#1: After a successful bug hunt. Your xenomorph hive was destroyed and the queen was captured. However, the queen managed to stow away several eggs onboard the space vessel.

#2: With the eggs laying dormant for years, several unlucky individuals find themselves in an abandoned nest. They must have come from a newly formed colony.
If things go right, you may be able to overrun this colony and cultivate a new queen.

For the Hive

I'm glad it's getting some interest. I'll make the ooc even if it is just you two. It will be easier to keep track of things anyway. I'll wait for more interest and get it up either tonight or tomorrow.

Revenant: A Sci-Fi Adventure (Always Accepting!)

The details of the mission at hand was alittle disappointing to Tobi..well..half of him. Red didn't like sitting around doing nothing but but blue would not let him speak. If I may get an uplink to the data allowed. I would like to know if we will have any issues with the wildlife. A planet primarily left alone could yeild some dangerous creatures in a nutrient rich environment. I didn't know you liked animals and plants. I don't, I'm just not an idiot. with that being the last of Tobis public statement, he left the war room.

You never let us talk to anyone. I am well aware you have been making us avoid SAL. Afraid he will fix the mistake? I'm not a mistake. You may be right for once. You are more like a failure if anything. Your irrationality has made you nothing short of a complete failure.

Red didn't chime in this time. He stayed quiet. As I thought..pathetic. now we are going to see SAL and fine a way to get you erased.
