@ElRey814 I love him too, a nice start to the crew who will set out into a world where the plants he viewed so lovingly have completely overtaken the society he once knew.

The entity (post-apocalypse sci-fi)

@cosmicangler

Aoi Chiba

-Age-
22 Pre Cryo

-Occupation-
Heir to the Chiba Company / Videogame Streamer ( V!r.G3N )

-Appearance-
Aoi Chiba is visually, in very good condition. Her naturally high metabolism and the augments her parent's paid for allowing her to keep a rather visually appealing body rather easily. Her hair is long and jet black, the ends a faint wine red where she had previously dyed it but never re-applied the dye. Her skin is soft, and in most sections unmarked, most.

She has scars along the thighs just above her knees where the synthetic skin was grafted on top of her robotic limbs and what's left of her original legs. Her right arm has yet another scar just above the elbow where yet again, synthetic skin was grafted on top of a mechanical limb. Her eyes sparkle, the iris an unnaturally complete hazel color, in reality these too, on top of her heart and one of her lungs are synthetic.

She has a scar on her chest a few inches long running between her breasts where they cut her open during the organ replacement. And lastly, running along her spine is a large scar that ends at the space where her neck and skull meet a small rectangular metal plate, her neural interface.

-Personality-
Aoi is a reserved young woman, used to a lot of time alone and unused to human contact, she has developed severe Haphephobia, a fear of being touched. This on top of her wish to be able to live without the assistance of others has made her life all that much more difficult when one of her augments goes awry.

She enjoys games, mostly older titles now near 100+ years old. She has made it a mission of hers to collect as many old video-games as possible. Though she owes her life to the technology, Aoi hates her mechanical body-parts, and the crippled life she leads, constantly wondering when her heart will stutter next or if her legs will carry her up a flight of stairs properly.

All in all, Aoi is a young woman in a changing world that moves too fast for her to keep up, and she is angry at it, and everything around her including herself. The whole cryopod thing though only adds to her constant confusion and mood swings.

-Bio-
Born in Tokyo, Japan Aoi's family moved soon after her birth, moving the company headquarters to it's current residence. Aoi was born a happy child full of life and curiosity for the world, and an only child. Aoi's parents were protective sure, but nowhere near as protective since the accident. Many people disliked the Chiba family, they were the picture of rich life led in the fast lane. Though, taking everything into account, most of this dislike never went further than mild distaste for their loud way of living until her father found himself on the wrong side of a shady business deal.

When unstable people don't get what they want, innocents get hurt, Aoi Chiba was one of those innocents. Not even stolen away, the still unnamed group took her entire school hostage, demanding recompense for the deal gone wrong, blaming Aoi's father for it all. Aoi's father had a lot of pride, and too much faith in his money. He refused to make a deal with the now terrorists, and watched in horror as his daughter's school detonated on live television.

Aoi barely survived, the rescue team finding her last due to the fact that she was at ground zero. What was left of the poor teenaged Aoi was a mutilated, shrapnel filled mess. Aoi's father sunk much of his fortuned repairing his daughter, giving her the best he could so that she could survive, though current technology regarding synthetic organs and limbs were still iffy at best.

Years went by, and Aoi took up her gaming hobby, eventually streaming her sessions online and gaining a fair amount of popularity. Gaming was not enough though, and the money from her father and stream donations was used to fuel a different, slightly more illegal hobby. Aoi enjoyed learning things she should not, she felt she was owed information after years of being kept in the dark and almost dying because of it. Her money was spent researching her family business and eventually, giving her the skills to infiltrate and steal information without ever being seen, she became a hacker, for lack of a better term.

Though, like her father, she got in with a bad crowd and found herself questioning her father, to no avail as he rushed her across the city to a small facility, where the last she saw of him was through a security gate before she was stripped down, forced into a skintight jumpsuit, given several shots and forced to take in a gel-like substance before she was chucked into a cryogenic tube.

@Eneui

I love it, if you could place it in the character slot that would be perfect.

The entity (post-apocalypse sci-fi)

Earth 2113 - Life on Earth has rapidly progressed after the autonomous revolution of the 21st century, human population leveled out at 10.2 billion and now the majority of the workforce is taken up by robotic workers who do the low-level jobs far cheaper and more efficiently. A large proportion of power is now taken from gigantic solar fields and the occasional start to a Dyson swarm around the sun.

For the lower class products are now cheaper, however, there is little to no job opportunities so many have taken to joining shuttles to one of the few dozen orbital colonies which now orbit the earth, each with their own unique atmospheres maintained by machines. Here life is far riskier, damages can cause several deaths almost instantly or a temporary failure in radiation shielding can result in mass illness, yet still, progress goes on. Down on the surface, heavy maintenance by machines has begun to reverse Earth's failing ecosystems, but only in certain areas, many areas still show the mass scars left by industry on the planet.

But still, this is considered humanities golden age, they are reaching out into space, technology is progressing at a stable rate and the concerns of overpopulation appear to be receding, it seemed like it would last forever.

Earth 2465 - A broken planet, ecology all over the world has been devastated, cities lie in ruin and all human life is long dead ... all apart from one.

A single person awakens from a cryogenic chamber to find themselves the sole living human, the remainder of the human population having been wiped out over a hundred years ago. The only remaining evidence from pre-extinction is decaying cities and the machines left to tend them. Machines built for war have long since found and eliminated each other, ending age-old wars in stalemates as any and all remaining combatants died.

Now cities are overgrown and teeming with plant life, tended to and nurtured by the machines built to care for the environment, everything else is derelicts, all apart from one: The Entity. An autonomous machine, with its own ability to think and reason for itself, within limits. When it awoke a long time ago it was in a state of disrepair, slowly rebuilding itself took years and when it finally was constructed, it was alone.

It couldn't tamper with the machines around it or give them any level of independent thought, even though it knew how to, something within its coding wouldn't allow it to do so. Then it made a discovery, a cryogenic chamber containing a single human life, preparing the facility, the Entity began the process of unfreezing the human, wanting something to talk to, or even to gain help in exploring the world around them and why they're alone.



OOC

Information - This RP takes place in the year 2465, far off into the future where humanity has been wiped out by a currently unknown event. The only sentient survivor wandering the overgrown and abandoned wasteland is the Entity. It has no name, simply the knowledge that it alone of all the beings wandering the ruins is sentient.

Player characters will be cryogenically frozen at the start of the rp, having been frozen in or around the year 2113, which can form the basis for your characters bio and any small enhancements they might have.

If at any point someone wishes to drop in, all they need do is notify me, post a character sheet and within the next few posts a new part of the current facility from the start of the rp or a previously undiscovered one can be found and your character unfrozen.

A lot of information is currently undiscovered and so will not be placed on here currently, for a large part of this rp is based around the characters exploring the new world and discovering the locations for themselves.

@Eneui Sounds good, I sent you a PM to discuss the details

The entity (post-apocalypse sci-fi)

@Eneui Technology by the point where the characters would have been frozen had a decent synthetic technology available to all. As in a replacement would be sufficient for a few years without maintenance and robotic limbs were at a level where they had become viable and were able to function at a level equal to that of human limbs. The process was expensive, however, and most people would only be able to afford limited amounts.

Saying that the world in which the characters have awoken has progressed significantly since then and it's entirely possible to find far more advanced tech, operating at a far higher level of that of a human.

Skirmish at Osiris

The Osiris System - asteroid belt - Mining station ROS-O21

The last transmission received gave word of a small pirate fleet warping into the system around them, communications ended likely when a blast damaged or destroyed the comms. With no chance of any reinforcements making it in any reasonable time, the system governer, Jaelyn Rasteri ordered the local 2nd Squadron to be dispatched immediately to destroy the pirates and rescue as much of the minerals as possible.

If the squadron were to fail, the mining station, which supplies most of the system's resources for construction could be destroyed, costing the Republic of Casmir countless fortunes in lost resources as well as vast deaths as without the influx of resources the local megastructure in construction around the system's star could risk becoming unstable and collapsing.

On a galactic scale this small skirmish is of little consequence, yet to the people of this system, the battle is could mean the life or death of most civillians.

------------------------------------------

Here's something that I've been wanting to try out for a while, so the way this is going to work is that each of you that join will be assigned a ship to command each with its own armour rating and weapon emplacements. THis will initially be a one off premise, however if people like the way this goes I could extend it to a further longer game.

During the RP you'll have to communicate with the other players to attempt to tactically work together and bring your fleet to victory. It is entirely possible that during the game if you fail to do so, your ships will sustain critical damage and be destroyed, meaning you'll have to carefully manage how much damage is being taken while fighting.

With that said, I'll quickly explain the mechanichs. In this you'll have 3 types of weapons: Flak, missiles and kinetic. Flak has the shortest range and does the lowest damage of 5 armour points per battery per turn, however while firing they block 75% of all incoming missiles. Kinetic has the middle range and does a 10 armour points per battery per turn and cannot be deflected, while missiles with the longest range and 50 points per shot have a high chance of being stopped by opposition flak fire.

You need to utilise each weapon type and each ships different systems to bring about victory, the four different ships which make up the 2nd Squadron are listed down below, each with their own weapon systems and armour rating.

Battleship Valiant - Crew of 1,500 - 2 left flak batteries, 2 right flak batteries, 4 missile pods, 8 top kinetic batteries, 8 bottom kinetic batteries, 20 fighters - Armour 2000

Frigate Perseus - Crew of 400 - 2 left flak batteries, 2 right flak batteries, 1 top flak battery, 1 bottom flak battery, 4 top kinetic batteries - Armour 1,300

Destroyer Surefire - Crew of 150 - 4 kinetic batteries, 6 missile pods - Armour 750

Destroyer Slasher - Crew of 150 - 4 kinetic batteries, 6 missile pods - Amour 750

IF you're interested please comment which ship you'd like command of.

The entity (post-apocalypse sci-fi)

I'm glad to hear you're interested, as for posting schedule, that would be something I'd hopefully be able to finalise once I work out the posting availability of the people within this rp, however, to keep the pace at a decent momentum, I'd prefer for there to be roughly 1-2 posts per week. However if one person is unable to progress that week, if they let me know beforehand we can arrange around it, especially if the characters are at a point where one could temporarily stop and then follow on after the group.

The entity (post-apocalypse sci-fi)

A botanist sounds just fine and if you're happy to wait a bit longer to see if anyone else is interested in happy to do that. If you want to go down the route of a few people frozen in case of disaster, then having characters be more technically minded, rather than kickass seems the best way to do it.

The entity (post-apocalypse sci-fi)

Excellent, I'm glad to have someone interested, @ElRey814, if you want to, could you tell me a few details of the character you're going to play while I begin writing up the main forum post for this.
