Dr. Wesson watched uneasily as the lights began to flicker. The crew he was a part of had been on the first manned spacecraft to explore deep space. The human race has explored the Sol system first hand, but going out past the asteroids beyond Pluto was something that had not been done before. Within a month of leaving the view of the Sun, something strange came into sight. It looked unlike any planet or star, any space matter that had ever been detected and yet it was so near home.
At first, the scientists thought it may have been something simple, in a strange situation. Light refracting from a distant star, shining eerily across condensed gas, but that answer didn't put anyone's thoughts to rest.
Soon enough, they received signals from it and realized that it was a combination of condensed Carbon and Nitrogen, so solid as to protect itself from the vacuum. We hadn't thought that possible.
Nor did we expect intelligent life.
The unrecognized craft came near and fired on the ship. Twenty people were on board and when they shot at them, panic struck each and every being within. Nobody had expected this. The lights flickered continuously, the back up generator pushing itself to the limit as every shot made contact. Their accuracy was uncanny, and the fact that they had weapons nagged at the back of Dr. Wesson's mind. 'Why have weaponry unless you knew there was something hostile. If they'd been watching us...then they'd know we weren't. Who else is out here?'
The lights stopped flickering and the ship was dark. Dr. Wesson could still hear the generator and knew we all at least had heat. The firing ceased and everything was silent.
"Hello?" Dr. Wesson called out, helplessly. "Is everybody okay?"

First Contact
You know the situation, but where are you in it? If you wish to join this RP, then you must either be a human, aboard a ship with no light that will soon be boarded by an unknown alien race, that could look like anything thinkable, or unthinkable. You might not even be able to see it. Alternatively, you may be allowed to play as an alien, about to board a foreign ship that crossed its path into a war zone. Will you kill these beings on sight, or will you question them as to why they're here? You have the advantage, and with it comes a great responsibility. Are you a high ranking officer, or a fresh recruit?
We will have no more than ten humans and no more than five aliens. If you wish to play as an alien, then I'd like to make sure you can play it well and you will need to PM me, first of all because you don't know what they look like and secondly because I would like to put you in a situation to see if you can play it how it needs to be played (I'm not looking for anything specific, just creativity).
I don't want to make a specific character sheet, because I'd like you all to be creative as possible. You may use a preprepared character, however I should let you know that nobody aboard the human ship has battle experience, so if your character is battle specific, he or she may not suit the role. Just the same, your character won't, for a fact, look like my aliens. If you still have a character you'd like to use, post it and I'll approve or deny it accordingly.
I want this to be fun and quick, I don't expect this to last very long as the playfield is tiny. If you play a human character well, then you have have the opportunity to play an alien character, depending on the status of both the humans and aliens. This is going to be about wits.
Humans will need to use their intelligence and tactic to their advantage, so as to protect themselves from their boarding assailants. If this works out, then we can have a very creepy thing going on here.
My character will be the human, Dr. Wesson that I wrote the story from the perspective of.
Name: Dr. Calvin Opal Wesson
Age: 28, born August 17, 2341.
Gender: Male
Nation of Birth: Italy.
Appearance: Dr. Wesson has dark black hair, straight and ear length. He looks Italian (as he is) and British. His skin is islander toned, because of global warming years ago and he stand about 5'11" tall. He wears a cotton, blue longsleeve shirt with black slacks.
Background: Calvin was born in Italy to the proud parents, June and Frances Wesson. When he was fourteen they were both killed in a terrorist attack delivered by South Africa, Italy's 'rival' in Potassium supply & Demand. Space exploration has become one of the world's largest focuses and puts forth a large amount of money to the advancement of it. The Italian Technological Institute, with more than two thousand full-time employees, was destroyed via air raid, with both of Calvin's parents dying inside. Following in their footsteps he became a scientist. After receiving his Ph.D. he moved to America where he could study and preform his practices in safety. The Americans were the first to launch a spacecraft beyond the limits of Sol System and after six years of tedious work and dedication, he was selected for the crew.
I hope you all enjoy.
NOTE: There is no magic in this RP, nor will there be multi-bladed swords, etc. You may be carrying a pistol or handgun, but not everybody will. Any weapon(s) you acquire will be made, found, or taken. Many of the ship is in ruins and broken pipes, tools from the pantry, etc. may come in handy.
