Introduction

Earth
Year 2054
After years of ignoring warnings and sensless destruction in war, Earth is on the verge of losing all it's life. Finally having their eyes open to the effects of thier actions, world leaders try to work hard in setting up a new future for their race. With their planet with only a number of years left to sustain them, they turn to the next possible place, Space.
It took about 3 years until the "Super Power" countries to agree to this plan and once it was done, the work on humanity's next step began to take place.

Year 2079
Progress so far has been going steady. So far, the construction of a colony on the moon has been completed, built to house polotical leaders and ones that will help in the construction of the orbiting colony, Orion. This colony's construction reaching half way completed as many still down on Earth can see it's form up in the sky.
Down on Earth though, life started to get worse. With more concetration being placed on the space colony then on the dieing planet, crime rates increase from lack of attention and resources become more and more limited from the slow decrease of life.

Year 2100
The Orion Orbiting Colony has finally been completed, set up as both a home for a selected number of people and the center for space exploration, it now stands as the center hold for the search for a new home for all of humanity. People on Earth eagerly volunteer to take part in this project. Some for their future, others to simply get a chance to leave what remains of Earth.
Back on Earth, however, those that are unable to earn a spot on Orion are forced to struggle just to survive down below. Almost 75% of Earth has now lost it's life as what was once green is now nothing but wasteland as far as the eye can see. Even a large portion of the oceans have withered away as Earth's end was very well near. Those still struggling to live now live in Domes, small town like settlements with a dome-like structure shielding them from occasional dust storms and protect them from those that have lost their place in society, becoming brutal bandits called Scavengers that have even gone as far as to eat other people just to try to survive.
At this point, the political leaders took the increasing demand from people wanting to volunteer to step up on another little "project" that they had in mind. Setting up facilities on the barren Earth, they began to try and work on a back up plan, using volunteers to try and experiment on them to make them more suitable for the rough life styles on Earth so they can have more time to continue their search for a new home.

Year 2105
The Orion Orbiting Colony has finally completed it's planned ships for space exploration in search for a new home, but things go from bad to worse. Down on Earth, it has been revealed that the once normal animal life have begun to adapt into a more dangerous and desperate life style, placing many Domes in risk of constant attacks from these starving creatures. To make things worse, the facilities that had the experimentations done within were discovered, causing tension between the people and their leaders. IN a desperate attempt to cover this up, the political leaders tried to cover everything up by disposing of the test subjects and destroy the facilities. This rush action caused a number of these "enhanced" subjects to escape during the mahem, a large number of them becoming a more dangerous version of the Scavengers. With more dangers growing on Earth, people begin to lose faith on their leader's interest in saving them.
But then, as the Orbiting Colony was making preperations for their first test of their new shuttles, an object was detected closing in. An small group of unknown and badly damaged spacecrafts closed in, a few of them crashing onto the moon, some crashing into the Orbiting Colony, and two on a crash course down to Earth. People paniced at the sudden spacecrafts appearing as troops are sent to find out what it was. The ones that crashed on the Orion and the Moon were the first to have contact as they brought in a number of different alien races that appear to have been in combat. Seeing this as an chance to learn something, the political leaders accused the alien visitors to have attacked them, locking up the injured alien races. The alien races tried to communicate with the ones they've crashed into, trying to warn them of something. But their warning fell only on deaf ears as they were branded as "terrorists".

Down on Earth, a lone figure walks through a rising dust storm through the wasteland of Earth. He had no where to go, having escaped from the hidden facilities that had been his home for ears. As the sun began to slowly set across the barren land, he heard a loud rocketing sound coming from above, coming down, he saw two spacecrafts burning as they make their way down to the ground. One crashing not far from where he was at while another crashed much farther off ahead. The figure rushes toward the first crash site, unsure what he was about to get himself into.
-------------------------------

This RP will start off taking place with two locations. the Orion Colony where the captured "terrorists" are kept, and down on Earth where a few of the ships crashed landed. But as the RP progresses, traveling will end up happening as many other locations will be open. But for now the "Earth Area" is the only thing open at the moment.

-------------------------------

Planets(as the RP progresses and as more races are created, more planet will be added to this list)
Earth - Home planet of the Human race, it's now a dyeing planet that hardly any life can survive on it. Living in their Colonies and Domes, they manage to survive with the technology they have until they can seek a new planet to call home. It is untouched by the current war for now, but it's now changed creatures and inhabitants down on the planet are no less a threat.

------------------------------

Races (more will be added as characters are added to the RP))
Humans - Home planet of Earth, humans are considered to be the youngest of the races in the galaxy. Their home planet in ruins from their own actions, they now live in special Domes on the planet surface, on a moon colony, and their main home being that of a colony orbiting their home planet. Being cut out from the other races due to their "primitive" nature and young status, they were not involved to the war taking place. At least until the war itself found it's way to their planet.

Character Sheet

Appearance - (either an image or a very well detailed description)
Name - (doubt you need help here)
Age - (the age will all depend on the aging process the race goes through, apart from that, knock yourself out. Heck even kids can be made ha ha)
Race - (either choose an existing race on the list set up, or you can design your own race to add to the list. If you make your own, be sure to also add plenty of information of that race so it can be added to the list with good details)
Gender - (this should be simple to understand right?)
Weapons - (be creative, just cause it's the future, doesn't mean they all only use guns. Just no "light sabers" or any other over used things. creativity is the key)
Abilities - (some races might have natural abilities, in that case fill those in here. apart from that also be sure to add any normal abilities, like things they've trained in)
Personality - (a good character has a well set up personality. be sure to not get lazy in this part please)
Bio - (history, current life style, etc. Put it all here so we can all better know the character. Since it's that important, I'd say a minimum of 2 paragraphs long should seem logical enough)
Other - (anything else needed to know of the character that isn't related to the things above)

Character List

Human
Sikes - Oblivian(character sheet up soon)

Toggle Rules

- Respect one another. If you just end up causing trouble you will be removed from the RP.
- Be Creative. I want to see real creativity with planets, races, and especially characters. Follow Character Sheet details and you should be fine.
- Keep it clean. While this might be set up in a galactic war, remember that kids still look in this sight. Keep it PG-13.
- Be slightly active. If by some chance you aren't able to post at least once a week because something came up. try to at least tell em so I don't think you've ditched without warning.
- Have Fun. Just enjoy the RP to it's fullest and get along.
