An extra thank you to Salem, because I took a lot of my formatting for this from their RPs.

You were supposed to be living in luxury on your new planet. New you’re stuck on this dinky planet in the middle of the Milky Way.

There are new planets being discovered all the time. Most recently, a beautiful new planet was found on the outskirts of the galaxy, with an atmosphere so malleable that nearly any living creature could survive in those conditions. This planet was immediately designated as a highly desirable place to live. Unfortunately, the small size meant only a select few people could reside there. Especially if they each wanted their own expanse of stunning land all to themselves. So eight people from various locations were chosen by the Council of Interplanetary Residence, for all different reasons. Perhaps they paid the council off handsomely. Perhaps they were the last of a dying planet, and had to be preserved. Perhaps they were a major scientist who could research this new planet. Whatever the reason, only eight were chosen, their loved ones to be sent after them (if they had any). They were sent in a ship to their new home, to the immense jealousy of thousands of other people across the solar system.

Unfortunately, something went very wrong on the way. Nobody could say exactly what it was. Some guessed it was sabotage by someone jealous trying to steal their home. Some guessed it was something much more sinister, something lurking just outside of the galaxy. Some were more optimistic and simply guessed it was a malfunction. No matter what it was, the power was cut, and the group were forced to go into their sleep chambers and stay there until the danger was over. When they finally awoke, they had no idea how much time had passed. It could have been no time at all, or ages and ages. All they knew was that they were grounded on a strange little planet. A little planet called Earth.

Fortunately, their tech had just enough energy left to throw them one last lifeline: human forms. Without these, many would have suffocated or shriveled up or any number of horrible things. They didn’t get to choose their forms, but most were grateful just to have any. They pulled information from the computer to learn all they could about this new planet and how to blend in. Although some are decidedly more adept than others, they all know enough now to pass as real humans after several months of getting used to it. Unfortunately, having human forms doesn’t mean they’re truly human. Their true forms still have effects on this oddly impressionable place. This causes occasional effects that are decidedly not human, and that threaten to expose them. These oddities might range from minor levitation, to giving humans strange visions, to being followed everywhere by birds. Just things that are out of the ordinary. And a part of their ship is missing. Fortunately, they have a read on the location, and it is somewhere on this planet. They just have to travel across this strange place to find it. Across Canada and to Mexico, they have to rush and get back before they’re given up for lost and their beautiful home is given away. But some of them are starting to think - maybe they don’t want to leave. Some, slowly, begin to like it here, but others are still desperate to get away. Without eight people, the ship simply can’t be flown. It’s either all of them go, or none of them do.

So, the question is: Can they get back home in time? And do they even want to?

RULES

1. Follow WP’s rules and guidelines.

2. We’re tolerant of all identities here. I reserve the right to kick you out if you’re being intolerant.

3. One character per person.

4. Reservations last 48 hours, but you can PM me to extend the reservation if needed.

5. This is a literate roleplay. That means 600+ words per post.

6. We all have times when we just can’t post for a while. That’s fine. Just tell me if you can.

7. If you need to be out of the RP for a while, we can keep your character in the background so you don’t have to quit completely,

8. I’m fine with posts being sporadic or taking a while, but I do want this to be a long-term RP. I will PM you if it’s your turn and you’ve taken more than 2 weeks without having warned me first.

9. You can be as creative as you want with your OC designs! Make them silly, make them weird, make them a plant or a blob, whatever you want!

10. I will decide what oddities happen around your character, but I have a section for suggestions if you have something in mind. If you want to build a character around the oddity, feel free to PM me beforehand to ask for one.

11. If your character did have powers of some kind in alien form, they won’t work in human form.

12. I left one potential extra slot if somebody wants to play a human travelling with them. I’ll only allow one.

13. If you have any questions or want to run something by me, please do!

Feel free to add anything you like to the sheet. If you see *, that means that item is optional. Fill out both the human and alien parts for an alien, just the human if anyone plays a human.

Tip for the Relationships: It can be fun to PM other people to decide on character relationships before the RP ever begins, especially since these characters already know each other.

Discussion Thread

Discuss anything and everything to your heart’s content! Please do not post in the discussion thread until your character is accepted.

Tip for Discussion Thread: If you’re getting too many notifications, try bookmarking instead of subscribing. That way you can go to your bookmarks and see when the most recent activity was without being spammed with notifs.

RP Thread (Coming Soon)

This is where all the good stuff happens. I’ll open it up once we have 8 or 9 people, or it’s been a week since the last sign-up and there are no reservations.

Notification Thread

This is where I will put up notifications for major plot points and reminders to keep the RP going if needed. It won’t be posted in too often, so I do recommend you subscribe to this one.
