Overview:
The year is 2568 A.D, or now as it is coined, 334 A.E. Mars has been made habitable through elaborate terraforming over the course of a few centuries. Fourteen months after correctional impact, the ISC (International Space Corporation) has declared a state of emergency on the entirety of Mars. Its safety compromised by a new, unidentified life form, mass evacuations have been ordered. As people attempt to escape from the falling planet, you find yourself caught in the horrific events as you watch the home you grew up on fall apart and shred to pieces by the alien life form that have ironically been dubbed "Martians".
Basic Backstory:
Humans begin to terramorph Mars in the mid 21st century. In light of these new efforts, the world's super powers join forced and form the ISC. The ISC's main objective is to overlook the terramorphing of Mars and help establish a working council and government on the planet once it is made habitable. The process is long and consuming of many resources, from money to elements from Earth. However, in 2234, the ISC releases official statements declaring that Mars is now habitable and opens it up for living. This day is officially labeled Emergence Day, and marks the first day on the new calendar (A.E.) Many people flock to the new planet and life begins new. The planet yields many new opportunities and trade between the mother planet and Mars becomes common - as Mars is capable of growing a number of edible plants and vegetables that Earth is not. This stipulates the economy and the human population escalates to dangerous levels.
Over the course of the years, the ISC discovers that the orbit of Mars is slowly shifting out of place. Eventually, the planet would be pulled into the Sun in a flaming ball, causing billions of billions of dollars worth of damage. In an attempt to bring the planet back to its orbit, the ISC bombards it with a number of asteroids. After a while, things seem well. It is only near a year after that people begin to realize the consequences of the ISC's actions.
How this would work:
This would be a very basic survival RP where you have to look around for resources while you are assaulted by aliens that rip people to shreds. You would have your weapons and particular skill sets.
OoCs would look something like this:
Name
Age
Sex
Occupation:
Height
Weight
Skill Set (Skills will be specified)
Weapons (You will be allowed to use a weapon according to your profession of your choise. Secondary weapons will be listed and you can make a choice between however many provided.)
Biography
Last but not least
I don't plan on it being like "player looks here. player finds x!" The way I had imagined it was that at each "checkpoint" ammo, med packs etc would be refilled but at the same time, you find ammo and stuff on enemies. You wouldn't have to search the area and shit. it's more like I give you all your shit and you conserve your ammo and stuff and attempt to survive a gauntlet of enemies while you make your way towards a safe haven. It'd be an old school RP where you just say "Player shoots at zombie" etc, but you'd have limited number of shots and each alien would require a number of shots to be downed. Along the way, you'll be given ambiguous moral choices. You dont know which is bad, which is good but you have to make a choice and the basic outcome and happenings of the story change accordingly.
