Alien: Awakening (Rules)

Alien: Awakening, at it's core, is a slasher RP, where your job is to simply survive. However, unlike other RPs such as Alien, where you can prevent many deaths, in Alien Awakening, there's a strict death rule.

But first, the set-up. There will be 3 episodes, each at 7PM UTC time on either Saturday, or Sunday, which will last for 2 hours. The game was last for three weeks, one episode a week, and you just have to survive.

However, with Alien: Awakening, there's a rather evil little rule in place. Every 20 minutes, a character will die. What this means is that, out of the 20 who start the game, only two will survive.

Now, this isn't the sort of RP where you get decisions handed out to you. I'll give scenarios, you have to prove that you can survive.

Deaths -

There are many ways to die, and the Alien doesn't always kill you, but rest assured, if one character dies in a 20 minute period, all other characters will be safe. How do you die though?

Well, there are multiple ways in which you can die -

In certain scenarios, I may poll two characters, and the rest of the players need to vote to save another player. The one with the least amount of votes is killed.

Sometimes, random.org is used. It is a luck based kill, but this is only brought into play if the group, as a whole, makes the wrong choices. It's a punishment.

Other times, a character may be alone in an area, and can simply be attacked and picked off. It is imperative not to stay alone in an area for longer than 5 minutes, or you will die.

Areas -

When the game starts, there will be 8 areas on the ship that you can go to - The Main Deck, The Bridge, The Brig, The Lower Deck, Maintenance, The Guest Cabins, The Cafeteria and the Escape Pods. 

You will all start on the Main Deck. From then, you can all go to a different area. You can only move to a new area once 20 minutes are up (Basically, once one death has occured). You may discuss your movements with other players via PM.

If you move to an area, and you are the only person in the area, you will instantly be targeted by the Alien. You can survive these encounters through survival skills, however if you fail to escape, you will die.

Sabotage -

If you Survive an encounter with the Alien, you are allowed to cause an accident in another area of the ship. You want to survive, and you will do anything to escape the Alien, even kill another to keep yourself safe.

If you escape the Alien, you must pick an area where other people are located. An accident will then occur in that area, and one person will be random.orged and killed.

(That rule may sound unfair, but the chances of surviving an Alien Attack are slim indeed, so a fair reward is needed - It also brings an element of strategy to the game - Maybe you want to get attacked by the Alien so you can survive and kill off another)

FEAR Stat - At the start of the game, every character will start with a FEAR Stat of 100. FEAR is basically how you cope with traumatic events, accidents, injuries, etc. The more problems your character is faced with, the lower your FEAR stat goes.

Once it hits 0, your character will go off the deep end and kill themselves. If this happens during an Alien Attack, whoever was being attacked will be spared, but unable to sabotage.

If two people hit 0 at the same time, it goes to a poll.

Xenomorphs and OCs -

Unlike most other RP games, I will not be including any OCs. Instead, I will be playing as the Xenomorph. Like the players, the Alien can only move to one area every 20 minutes.

If a character is alone, the Xenomorph will have no choice but to move there. If there are no areas with one person, the Xenomorph can go to a more populated area and lower a person's FEAR stat.

Unless someone dies of a sabotage, or of a suicide, the Alien will always kill a person from the area it inhabits.

Notes and Tips -

As you can imagine, the episode move by fast, so if you are planning on being inactive at all, don't sign up. I don't want any inactives.

Keep in mind that the Alien is smarter than you all. But you have strategy. It runs on primal instincts, but will only kill one at a time. Once one person is dead, you will know you're safe.

Don't Trust Anyone!

Never Travel Alone!

You will be able to see where others are through the RP chat in different areas. Use this to your advantage to sabotage an area.
