The X Files RP:
The Galaxy is shaken. Greloth Ulundo, a professional with skills that he has honed over a long and varied career, has infiltrated the highest levels of the galactic supranational Organization for the Preservation of Primitive Milky Way Cultures and assassinated the First Commander thereof. After the assassination, he fled to the nearest planet with no interstellar (or even true interplanetary) presence: Earth. Here the fool has hoped to conceal himself from galactic justice, but fails to realize that even on this planet, there are forces conspiring to bring him before the galactic public for punishment, or down in the darkest of chambers for experimentation.
In this RP the players will be either alien bounty hunters or human UFO hunters seeking Ulundo to either capture or kill the madman. Players will have 24 hours to act out a turn, during which they will undertake an action to find him. Conversations can occur whenever, which is to say, you can continue a conversation between characters as you wish, multiple times within the 24 hour period. Although Ulundo is humanoid enough to avoid suspicion, most aliens will not be so biologically fortunate, and will need to take measures not to be noticed by the indigenous population. Initially, this will be the only challenge, but soon the shadow government will take notice, and eventually, you will have to compete with a determined pair of FBI agents (who are they I wonder?).
Players can join whenever, I will start the RP on Thursday. New players will touch down in a secluded forest clearing west of Chicago. Joining players should submit the following information:
Species (include description if necessary): Equipment: Biography: Other Pertinent Information:
Oh, and initial advice, the locals paid a lot of attention to weird lights in the sky a few nights ago...
Rule Update: I will open a private message thread with players, this will be the equivalent of note passing in D&D. I will make it known when a note is passed.

Zachary Ritter Species: Homo sapiens, better known as "humans." They are a species of endothermic bipedal mammals, with bodies mostly devoid of hair, the key exception being their heads and faces. Skin colors come in shades of brown, ranging from a pale white to dark black. A notable aspect is their ability to produce adrenaline when under stress. Zachary in particular has relatively light skin pigmentation, eyes with blue irises, and unkempt brown hair.
Equipment: -Torso and leg coverings composed of plant fibers. Torso covering depicts a beaked theropod (referred to by humans as a "chicken") hatching out of an egg. Leg coverings have two storage pockets, one to either side. -A second torso covering thicker than the last, with a metal zipper allowing it to be closed and opened as needed. Serves as an insulator. -A backpack, dark brown in color, used as storage. -Eye lenses, used to see distant objects. -A dark blue head adornment shaped like a half-sphere with a flat horizontal protrusion. The front, above the protrusion, depicts a five-pointed star shape. -A small and versatile device of plastic and silicon called a "smartphone," typically stored in right pocket -A folded leather pouch called a "wallet" containing plant fiber-based currency and two plastic cards, one called a "debit" card, the other a "credit" card. Typically stored in right pocket alongside the "smartphone." -Numerous flat metallic, heavily serrated blades and a single black rectangle with buttons, all held together by a metallic ring. Blades and rectangular device serve to unlock doors to personal lodgings, as well as activate personal vehicle. -A plastic figurine of an extinct terrestrial predator, Acrocanthosaurus atokensis. Stored in his backpack.
Biography: Zachary, preferring to be referred to as "Zach," was born in Los Angeles, and moved with his family to Chicago at the age of 3. He first took interest in UFO hunting at the age of 13, mostly as a way of coping with his parents' decaying relationship. Currently age 22, and working at a coffee shop establishment, he has made no serious attempts in his hobby, but the mysterious lights sighted in the past have caught his attention. He currently plans on heading into the forest at night for a closer look.
Other Info: His personal mode of transportation is a green van.

Autumnal winds sweep across the city from Lake Michigan as our tale begins. Night is falling and the city's lights blink on in an effort to stave off humanity's most primal fear. Where then, do we find our heroes as the sun retreats behind Earth's advancing horizon?
Mitobox: Zachary "Zach" Ritter, in his green van, has embarked on his lonesome to a forest on the western edge of the city (which is definitely grounded in geography and is not at all a plot device for convenience's sake). As he leaves behind the forest of concrete in favor of that of lignin before him, the wind picks up. Despite the horror-movie feel of the situation, he presses ahead, threading his vehicle through the loosely spaced trees, until he comes upon a wider opening that houses a monstrous construction of steel. The vessel is dark, illuminated only by moonlight and the headlights from Zach's van. The ship displays no sign of life, save that of a barely visible white glow inside the front glass covering. The exterior seems streamlined, with a few strange lumps positioned at regular intervals across its midline. To the back are odd conical objects that must be engines. It is then that Zach notices a ramp, extended to the ship's port side, leading directly into its interior. Several moments go by during which no motion is made save the rustle of leaves, and no sound is heard save the wind's insistent wailing. What might our lonesome protagonist do?

Thanks to everyone who showed interest! I appreciate your patronage. I apologize to everyone who had hoped this would go places (all both of you )and I have one request before I declare this dead: could I get feedback on what went wrong? Anything that comes to mind regarding what would have made this work/be more interesting. It would be useful so I avoid making flawed set ups in the future, and for anyone else who wants to know what kills an RP. Thanks, and keep thriving!

No rush Atrox ! I just didn't realize that people were still interested. Seriously, don't rush, take your time, don't live to fast. Troubles will come, they will pass. No...no wait...that's Shinedown...But the point stands: I didn't intend to hurry you. Thank you for letting me know

1) Feel free to make as many characters as you desire (I would say within reason, it's unlikely someone will find it enjoyable/easy to manage 7 for example) 2) Several other high profile killings that were connected to him based on evidence discovered at this crime scene, as well as inciting unrest and industrial espionage. 3) If this "men in black" agency is connected to the shadow government that will take part from time to time, I will reserve the right to have a higher-up send you orders. If its a freelancer/renegade within the agency, go for it with complete autonomy. If the agency is completely separate and independent then I will also offer no restrictions. I had originally intended to have the option of being freelance or associated with the government/galaxy but I wanted to leave it more open ended (more TES IV than Fallout 4).
I hope that answers your questions, please let me know if it doesn't!

Name: Flimmin Erusha Species: Hetoo Equipment:- Black sleeveless shirt, providing both comfort and convenience
- Brown pants
- An extremely high tech and extremely experimental fanny pack which generates a pocket dimension. Flimmin
bought this off the black market uses this for storing his gear. The fanny pack currently contains:- Documents containing all available information on the criminal Greloth Ulundo
- A small, non-lethal, stun-weapon
- Linguistic analyzer and translating device
- Flimmin's wallet, which holds his I.D. and credits, as well as a picture of his super-incredibly-attractive supermodel girlfriend, T'tali Reele. They're long distance.
- A homing device
- Medical supplies
[/ul]
Biography: Flimmin Erusha has been bounty hunting ever since he left his homeworld. He's simply the best there is. At least that's what it says on his business card. The truth is the most Flimmin's been hired to do is track down interplanetary speeders. He hopes that hunting down a big shot like Greloth Ulundo will be his ticket to putting his bounty hunting business on the map. Maybe people will start taking him seriously for a change. Other Pertinent Information:- Flimmin is 3 feet tall.
- Flimmin's tongue is highly sensitive to vibrations and thermal energy and is usually found hanging out of his mouth. This gives him a slightly dopey expression at all times.
- Not unlike a gecko, Flimmin also has setae (or bristles) that allow him to stick to most surfaces. When he gets nervous or frightened, he might just accidentally stick to anything around him.
- He owns a cruiser the size of a small van which is currently orbiting around the outermost reaches of Earth's atmosphere

As the night grows darker, the winds slowly die down. Silence is enveloping the clearing where Zachary Ritter stands, still with no noticeable company. Further south in the forest is a larger area free from trees, marked with obvious signs of a hastily constructed landing zone. It is here that Flimmin Erusha finds himself, as each extraterrestrial hunter after him shall. High above the forest, an airplane passes on its way to the city.

Aquos, thank you! No reason we can't both have stun weapons though. And how about the ETRT? Extraterrestrial Response Team?

well sorry i dind't join yestderday wayward i just buyed a new game and got kinda sucked into it well anyways here is one of characters oh and also thanks atrox think i am using that name Michiel (AKA agent 42 ) species : human equipment
a white suit with a black tie (of course enhanced by the ETRT to be bulletproof heatproof etc) 2 human tazers for ''afaires'' with humans an ''elecktical'' alien weapon (the stun weapon) captured by the ETRT with 4 modes: deadly (the names says it), stun (again the name explains) light ( bassicly it becomes a very bright flashlight) and beacon (it shoots a very bright light in the sky that "explodes" only to be used in case of emergency) a very weir pair of blue goggle created by the ETRT it's purpose is to translate each languag known to science in real time only drawback at the moment is that when the user talks a slight accent stays the goggle's solve this problem by giving the user mutiple accents biographyok before i tell you about Michiel allow me to tell about his agency the ETRT : Extraterrestial Response Team (thanks Atrox) (ok this is just going to be spitting around random "facts" about it) the ETRT is obssed with order first they give every weapon, too,l armor , and vehicle type and a different levelling system (this is needed since a mass destruction weapon can't have the same level as a normal gun) theire also multiple departments each with it's one ''work'' each departement has it's own color (in wich all members of the department have to wear cloth's in that color) and it's own letter an exemple would be departement H (brown) who's duty it is to study the "presence" of extraterrastials in past time's all departements HAVE to stay away by from humans apart from departement X (black) who's job it is to make sure that the normal public knows nothing about aliens. the ETRT is aware of the shadow goverment and the shadow goverment is (vaquely) aware of them the ETRT watches the shadow goverment as ''wanabye's" and "underdogs" finally the ETRT does continue secret recruitement tests through games,school tests etc so back to Michiel his backstory is quite simple he just did one of the recruitement test was succesfull and got recruited he is a member of department Q (white) who's job it is to "investigate protect and search" bassicly he is the one who hast to go "first" in an alien investagation and if neede protect a city or localize an alien on the lose other pertintent information he tends to use words like "dude" "chap" and the like a lot once he is on a job almost nothing can distract him infact he often "elimante's" (is that how you spell it ?) distactions of his team members theire only two thing that can distract him human lives and ... philosphy espiacly his own quite weird philosphy he enyoys watching stupid conspiracies about aliens area 51 and the like and then saying he is an FBI agent and that it's all true if it's ok with you guys i'll introduce my other character later in the game otherwise i'll just edit this post NOTE: since this is my first RPG character on a forum game tell me what you think and if i did something wrong
