You're a 5th Level Civilian
You have no rights
You have no rights
Expansive slums and massive industrial cities maintain the economy of Hilaci, your homeworld and place of death. It is a culturized world of varying species and languages, the population never lacking in growth. The size of costal cities are absolutely massive, the ground itself being dug into, the bottom littered with construction sites starting new skyscrapers and complexes. One individual could spend days exploring these buildings, seeing the penthouses and exploring the tops of what the world had to offer. And from the top of these penthouses through the smoke that factories coughed out, you could see the slums. This is where you live, this is where you would have died, if not for one of the many corporations being merciful for once.
Now taken to the Keija mines against your will and be forced to work for the Hammer Corporation that took you from your homes. Of course, this event in of itself is horrid enough, your chance of survival slim. But beneath those rocks lays something else, and once discovered, it will achieve in bringing the end to Hilaci. And it'll only be your first day...

-Character-
As a 5th Level Civilian, you have no rights and your ancestors didn't have any either, your family coming from the bottom and astoundingly keeping themselves there. Whatever your background may be, as in gangster, poor youngling or just some dirty dweller, you're confiscated of all your things and now belong to Hammer Corp. You are expendable, but expendable does not mean you lack interesting backgrounds or personality.

-Traits-
Since you're slum dwellers, you lack anything significant on the exterior, however, growing up in a slum has brought certain skills to be learned and mastered, this is where your traits come in.
Despite being a post-by-post roleplay, these traits may change some things for your character, are you a strong-backed individual? You'll be able to excuse the possibility of carrying a fuck ton more. Are you thin and fragile, but agile? Congrats, you're a good runner, but you miiight just get sick on the cold mountain tops.
Keijan Hiker: Rocks and animals wont stop this one. Snakes? They know of them. Posion? They know of this too. How to walk on rocks? Well, they certainly know how to not slip. Keijan Hikers will not encounter trouble with traversing the terrain, and may even recognize certain paths, but while you have a higher chance of not tripping over and falling or running into dangerous animals, there is a higher risk to failure. Especially if you're on the edge of a cliff...
Henchman: You were a gangster, or you just got involved in unlucky shootouts with looters. Either way, you're a "henchman", you can handle a gun and can aim it well. You can't cause amazing headshots, but you'll hit center torso without a doubt. Unlucky for you, carrying a gun comes with a multitude of problems, and you may be wanted by the police as well...
Courier: Delivering messages was your income, or, once was. Whatever happened to that job was long gone. May it have been with a gang or maybe you were a well known runner on the street, you were fast, much like your reflexes. But that came with a cost, despite the toned legs you may have, your body has been exposed to much disease on the streets, your immune system will not last long in the wilderness.
Doc's assistant: You used to work for a helpful clinic, but only as a mere assistant. Any drugs you could smuggle out have been confiscated, but they cannot remove your knowledge of helping the wounded or sick. You may be assigned to help the other workers as well, providing with a much healthier start. However, not only will individuals target you more often in the heat of battle, but you're considered responsible of the workers lives as well.
Follow My Steps: The workers will need motivation and need someone to like, you can do that. You're the silver tongue for your own, if everyone is becoming rebellious and turning on each other, you'll stand on a soap box and clam them down with a few words. However, much like the Doctors Assistant, you're a easy target, and you'll need to lead in times that are rough. Leading, is not something easy, obviously.
Punk: Tech isn't anything special, but you'll get the machines running with a few hard punches. You're the technician, or engineer, someone who can put things together and make something worthy of use. This may sound all good initially, but if resources grow thin, you become useless, and you're not as agile or tough as the rest with all those days spent fiddling with tech.
Beast: OH SHIT WHAT IS THAT? The big guy, naturally. You're big, muscular, this has a obvious advantage, you're a tough one to bring down and you can carry a lot. Sadly, you're a easy one to spot, and while stealth is all good, don't expect to be able to keep stealthy for long like the rest.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Rules-
1. Basics. I don't need to say anything.
2. This has NPCs, and you'll be in a group a lot of this goes as I imagine. Not at first, but later, you'll be tagging along with NPCs. Why? Because I can't GM with everyone doing a ton of fucking things. I need you together, and I can influence things through NPCs easier.
3. The purpose of traits is for me to make your character more fortunate in certain situations, and then less fortunate. I say your character has a cough? They have a cough. They get shot? They get shot and bleed. The little guy can't move on? Then they can't move on. That may sound unfair, but it'll only be like this if nothing bad happens for a long duration, or people get a bit abusive with good posts. It isn't like I'll kill or cripple your character, but this will add story and tension, so cooperate.
4. This is open ended adventure. Adventure. You will be moving a lot, where to who the hell knows, but don't try to be that one guy who says "Imma' gonna' sit here." No, if the cave is crumbling, you run out. Soldiers chasing you? You run away. You can't run anymore? You fight. I wont control your characters, but you can't just say "Naw this isn't a problem." I'll give a warning, then kill 'em. Please, like the last one, cooperate.
5. The start of this will be slow. So lastly. Interact. I do not want to drag this thread on with action after action, this is a request more than a rule, but it is significant like the rest, talk, mingle, etc. I can't pull a thread on my own.
Lastly I've never GM'd a thread. Confidence is dropping I know.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Plot Stuff-
THIS THREAD HAS SOME ALIEN INVASION SHIT AND CRAP BECAUSE YOU DUG UP SOMETHING BAD
I KNOW THAT SOUNDS REALLY DIFFERENT THAN EVERYTHING BEFORE. But this is a survival during some significant event where war shit occurs and you're trying to get somewhere in order to survive. I don't have anything other than that. The Keija Mountains is the setting and you'll be spending a lot of time running from location to location with the military of the planet possibly trying to kill you as well. So, yeeah.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thats it, I'll probably make more stuff later but, opinions?
This is sorta sci-fi-ish thing. Spaceships exist, but technology here is kinda modern-esk. Because reasons.
