Hold on, let me look up the old char sheet.
Now, at first I thought I would go ahead and have you all be members of our crew, but since I am no good at keeping secrets I guess I'll go ahead and let the cat out of the bag. Basically unbeknown to the shipmates of the
Element a second colony has been dispatched to the planet that we are going to, who hitched a ride on the X-ray beam from the black hole that passed conveniently close to Earth well after the
Element had left Earth, but well before the crew awoke. So what this means is a functioning and thriving society already exists on the planet we are going to, and all of the newbies get to be members of the planetdwellers. You can have been born on the planet, or part of the X-ray hitching mission depending on your choice, but if you were born planetside you will drift towards the young side and if you were part of the original mission be prepared to be called an old fossil by the rest of the youngsters.
('original' is a relative term.
)
I had hinted as such by the burst of 'static' on the extraship communications that was actually uncoded music being forced through the ship's decoder that, ironically, can't tell the difference and ended up veiling the existence of human life on the planet.
Now, the well-established colonists live near and under the 'chemical lakes' described in the first chapter, which we planned to, and by the start of the Rp, did land by. Unfortunately radiation is leaking from the ship, and this will really upset the colonists who have worked so hard to make the air around the submerged compound breathable, not to mention the effect on the nearby crops and livestock and property damage by the huge ship itself. As you can imagine the locals are going to be quite testy, and in the militaristic culture that colonies must form to survive, unrelenting in punishment. But enough of that, here's a reposting of my character and a character sheet for you newcomers:
Name: Rafaelle (RAH-FEY-UH)
