Character List

Concept:

• An alien craft arrives at Earth.
• The vessel's leader, Luna, claims that Human life is the result of her race seeding Earth with our evolutionary ancestors 1 million years ago.
• She says it was an experiment that her race has performed on many planets and moons over millions of years.
• She says she is disappointed with the results here on Earth: Human Beings are destroying both themselves and their planet.
• As a result, the Human Race is to be erased from Planet Earth to clear the way for a new dominant species.
• She doesn't offer an option.

General Direction of the Story:

• As stated, Luna does not give an option for the Humans: they will be erased and replaced.
• However, there will be people desperate to offer another option.
• My thinking is that Luna will eventually accept several proposals that will lessen the negative Human impact on the planet, things such as:
  • Greatly reducing Human population. And I mean greatly!
  • Greatly reducing the Human impact on the planet by reducing exploitation of the environment, reducing waste, reducing power usage, yadda yadda; I think you get the picture.
  • Returning vast portions of the planet to other life forms, animals and plants alike.
• These things will take years, decades, even centuries to accomplish. But if they are undertaken, Luna will accept them.
• At the same time, people who resist will be punished, either by Luna or by other Humans. I'm being very vague about this because I am not firm on a course regarding this. Let's see what we all come up with.

Writers wanted:

• I'm looking for a number of writers playing one or more characters; play as many as you think you can handle without holding up the storylines in which you find yourself.
• No big commitment is necessary: a couple of posts a week of a hundred words or so is totally fine. I am only concerned with the consistent forward movement of the story. Please, no novels. On the other hand, if you only need to post a single line to advance your interaction with another character, that's fine. (We have an option for rapid fire 1x1 interactions is that's what you find yourself in: 1x1 threads off to the side that are linked into the timeline in the appropriate place. We can discuss this more later if needed.)
• Also, if you only wish to write essentially on your own, you can do that, too. Sometimes, writers want to tell a story without a great deal of writer/character interaction. I don't have a problem with this.
• I do ask -- beg actually -- that you proofread for spelling, grammar, and punctuation. It shouldn't be a struggle for readers and your fellow writers to understand what you're writing.

Introducing characters:

• Characters do not have to be world leaders. They can be regular ol' folk who are affected by the erasure of the Human Race in one way or the other.
• I would prefer that you send me a PM telling me generally where you see your character going, simply so I know whether there are going to be conflicts between characters before they occur.

[HumanBean]

I'm interested, of course. That goes without saying.

I'd like to write three characters: one a world leader, another some sort of businessman who sees opportunity in dealing with the aliens, and the last some sort of opposition participant.

I will likely alternate posting for them. I don't have all the time in the world during the summer months like I did during winter. But I will keep up as you requested.

Luna -- Alien leader

Physical Description:

• Image
• Humanoid appearance, with Elvish-looking ears.
• 5'4" tall, petite (32B-22-32).
• Silver-gray skin, deep black eyes, jet-black hair.
• She is hundreds -- maybe thousands -- of Earth years old. (This has not yet been posted for other characters to know.)

Personality:

• Coming.

Back Story/History:

• Her species is more than 1 billion years old (a fact that hasn't yet been revealed but which I wanted you to know).
• Her people achieved faster-than-light space travel long ago and set about seeding habitable planets with intelligent but technologically undeveloped species -- think our earlier Humanoid species -- to see what would happen. (Some of these planets already had intelligent species that might have evolved to become technologically advanced, while others had no or virtually no animal life at all.)

Planned Direction in Roleplay:

• She has been tasked with eradicating the Human species to allow another species to rise to dominance.
• However, she will begin to entertain ideas regarding reverting Humans to a less invasive and destructive existence.

History in Roleplay:

• Arrived in Earth orbit on 15 July 2029. (See Post #1.)
