It was the year 2041, March 4th to be exact, when the One World Government's first attempt to establish a colony was finally starting. Astro-observation showed that a mostly earth-like planet, called Lilac, was located exactly 1 light-year away from earth. It had proper oxygen levels, drinkable water, native flora and fauna, everything that a potential settlement would need to grow or thrive on it's own. The OWG's ship, the Contingency, was the first 100% effective stasis-ship, one that would keep its 520 passengers from aging in their dreamy slumber during the 100 year voyage. It was loaded up with tools, families, supplies, and even medicine to fix genetic defects, which would occur quickly in such a small gene pool, and was launched from the American Region's space pad at Houstan, loaded up with an AI instructed and equipped to keep the colony alive and at respectable population levels using any means possible, including a few top-secret tools.
Little did they know, however, that something had gone horribly wrong.
Before they had been put to sleep, a certain passenger had sabotaged the stasis system's connection to a majority of the containment units, thus shutting of nutrient flow and causing death and decay of 516 of the passengers. They had meant to kill 518. The AI, in sleep mode to preserve energy, didn’t notice, thus leading to the breaking down of all the stored tools, crop supplements, planting seeds, and a majority of the food supply, leaving only the ship's ingrained electronics, 12 man weeks of protein paste, and one thousand boxes of Twinkies, which haven't even started to decay (this is just for laughs) Now, stranded on a strange world that isn’t quite as hospitable as they expected, the four survivors, two men and two woman, must survive, thrive, and (at the computer's whim) grow.
Greetings and welcome potential crewmembers of the OWG Contingency.
before you board, you may wish to know a little about your new home away from home for the next century and behond.
Constingency is a fairly small vessel, as it is not designed to support the full population out of stasis and even the One World Government has a budget. Dimensions are roughly 700x300x200 meters, but for simplicities sake I'll just say that you can walk the length of the open interior in roughly 9 minutes. The "Cabins", each storing 260 Stasis Contaniors in rows, are placed on the ship's sides, whale storage systems and the solar power plant are in the core. The Constigency Operating System/ Main Overseer (aka Cosmo) has the main relations panal at the front-center "deck", but can broadcast throughout the boat. Other then this, features are kept relativly simple for logistic and fairness purposes. There is one double chamer and two single chambers within the ship that where origonally designed for colonial command staff, and have back-up Non-living stasis sytems to insure the Earth liturature and paintings within did not rot in the event of an emergancy.
The ship will always have a tempurature of 68 F, unless predominant tempuratures outside are out of the 10-112 F range, in which case it will be equally cooler or warmer.
The ship runs on solar cells, which transfer power to a specially designed battery for storage, and can keep systems online for up to 30 hours after a 12 hour charge period.
The engines are nuclear powered, realeasing heat energy into space for maximum potential, and using inertia-reduction technology, has a cruising speed of 1/100th the speed of light
Lilic, on the other hand, is a tropical planet located roughly 1 lightyear away from the planet earth. Long-distence surveis show a planet rich in plant life, but low in animal life. The average tempurature is 73 degrees F, and rainfall is amudent. However, problems may occur with bacteria, and possable rotting of dead organic material.

NAME: Cana D. Tam
AGE: 22
GENDER: Male
APPEARENCE:
-Build- Uniform, healthy muscle tone, tall with long limbs.
-Hair- Thick, wavy amber
-Eye- Green
-Skin- Tanned Caucain/Mongaloid mix
PERSONALITY:Cana is a fairly intellgent and focused person, if also a tad strong-willed. He comes off with an aura of confidance and a steely eyed stare. In truth, however, he can never seem to keep himself in an arguement, simply putting up with whatever you toss at him until you get tired of it.
HISTORY: Ever since youth, Cana had been a no-noncence guy. While not the best in school, or sports, or anything for that matter, his sheer level of patence and ablity to avoid distractions made him at least decent in anything he diden't have any talent in. Hence, it was only natural that he made a career of a science that only turns out full data once a year. Of course, this knowledge and his visable, personal sort of stick-to-itivness was what got him recommended for working with crops nobody really knew anything about, namely, those on Lilic. Of course, lacking any real reason to stay, he willingly accepted the offer and joined the voyage, preparing for a new life that hopefully will be better then the last one.
NOTES: Master of Agro-Science, Applied Plant Science, or what have you. Basically, and expert on all things plant. Phobia of cats.
