Right, this is something I've tried to run previously as a group RP that I feel like doing now as a 1x1, albeit with some minor changes. Before you read on, I would like to mention that I do not do gender-based pairings; I would rather people write the gender they feel like writing rather than being forced into playing a certain gender role because the pairing asks for FxM, MxM, FxF, etc. And in regards to pairings, I'm not really looking for romance, but especially not smut. Other than that, my only other set rule is that my partner is capable of writing a few paragraphs per post. They don't have to be excessively long, novella style posts, but at least give me something more than a post that is borderline almost one-liner/free content. If you're fine with all that, then read on ahead and see if you want to give this a shot.
The gist is basically Dead Space but not Dead Space. Humanity is pretty advanced, with colony worlds to extract resources for the more expansive and in turn crowded planets. Canaan is one of these colony worlds, being a cold, lifeless rock floating in space mined for every valuable thing left on it. What people don't know is that Canaan used to have alien life on it, and that life & civilization on the planet was wiped out by a space parasite that turns people into monstrous creatures that are essentially just the Necromorphs from Dead Space. Though the aliens managed to seal away the parasite deep away in ice and rock, by then there wasn't many of them left, so those that remained either died, fled off-world, executed for potentially harboring a deadly plague, etc. No good end, basically.
Fast forward many, many space/galactic years into the future, a bunch of miners from the colony have found the parasite, and because we need a reason for this roleplay to happen, accidentally released the parasite from its prison. Because of the outbreak, the mining colony goes completely dark, with people being slaughtered and their corpses turned left and right. Instead of the quarantine fleet I went with last time, however, the only notice something has happened is a distress signal from the planet that they need help. My character ends up responding to this message and lands on the planet to investigate, only to unknowingly get stuck on the planet with your character, who's probably a miner, an overseer, or someone already on the planet (though we can work something out if you'd rather them to be together on the same ship).
That's basically everything I have so far in sort of a "rough draft" kind of way, so I'm open to any changes or whatever that we can work out. I do have to say, though, I don't write or watch too much scifi, so I won't be too worried about all the technical nitty-gritty of things like in hard scifi; if anything I just want to write a story about surviving deadly space mutants. The only thing that'll probably be realistic here is naming schemes and the art style, at least in regard to humans and their society, because, well we haven't met any alien civilizations yet. Anyway, if you're interested or whatever, feel free to drop me a message below in this thread or DM me.
