"And the lucky numbers are… 14563, 28965, 38513, 90127, 87164, 21947…" The elegantly dressed woman continues to drone out the numbers, a pearly white smile plastered on her face, but you don’t listen to her. You hold the silver ticket in your hand, staring numbly at the golden letters flashing across its face.
“Congratulations, lucky participants.” You slowly return your gaze to the hologram standing before you. The ghost like projection was a little too real, as the woman’s gaze holds such direct eye contact that it’s a struggle not to look away. Her grin broadens as she announces, “You have been deemed worthy to board to U.S. Columbus, on a direct flight to the International Space Station ‘Athena.’”
She then swept her arm behind her to gesture to the TV from which her image emerged, where pictures and videos of the grand space station flashed by to gaudy theatrical music. A male announcer swiftly devolved the details of the prize and instructions for time and manner of boarding.
You, along with a handful of other lucky winners from around the world, will be staying at Athena, a research station dedicated to discovering the wonders of the universe around us. A state-of-the-art, self sustaining spacecraft, the station can go months without contact with any other life form, and often travels millions of miles away from earth to uncover a new mystery of space. Many a thrill seeker and knowledge craver have dreamed of boarding the Athena. And now their dreams have come true. Or has it…? Little do the passengers know that it is not their dream that awaits at the space station, but their worst nightmare.
Other: There will be character spots for crew members and passengers, so there’s openings for all ages and professions.

So how far exactly will Athena be from earth? I mean, it's a space station, so it's got to be orbiting something, yes? Jupiter, maybe?
In any case, marked for reading. Looks like it may be interesting. |

| Athena is going to be orbiting Earth, but it's going to be about 370 miles above. |

Name: Georg Mueller
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Profession [on earth and on the ship if crew member]: PhD student in Biology in Frankfurt, Germany
Lucky Number [only if passenger, you can make one up]: 19120
Appearance: Lean, while retaining muscle. He is 1.7 meters tall (5'7") and weighs 60 kilograms (140 lbs). He is pale-skinned and mostly muscular in his legs, but does have a decent amount of upper-body strength as well. His eyes are sky blue and he has short light brown hair, recently buzzed. He has a large, hooked nose and well-defined jawline. He has very little stubble on his face and little body hair in general, except for on his legs.
Personality: He is quiet, tending often to listen and carefully consider his actions before executing them. Yet, at the same time, he is curious about the world around him. Don't mistake his quiet personality for indecisiveness, however- he does have strong opinions, but chooses not to voice them as often.
Biography: Mueller wanted to travel to Athena because the taste of outer space had become insatiable after his first trip into low earth orbit as an undergraduate. Not only is the view amazing, but the curiosities of microgravity on organisms has always interested him. Athena, he thinks, will give him a long-term opportunity towards conducting such experiments.

She isn't afraid to stand up to a bully or anybody. She can be a shy girl at times, but most of the time, she's tough. She helps geeks avoid bullying and other stuff. She personally is a fan of art and has a tiny liking for music.
Biography: Jenny was born with a funny face on, and often was a cheerful baby and helped some others. Jenny was bullied back then because of her geek knowledge personality, and stopped the bullying eventually in 3rd grade. Jenny planned her college when she was in 6th Grade. When she was in high school, she got a 3.5 average, and got accepted into Pepperdine University. She then got a job as a cashier about half a year early.

Wiss's CS was obviously a troll one,not accepted. Name: (Wiss X Cheese) No.
Age: 14
Gender: Boy
Profession [on earth and on the ship if crew member]: Computer Programmer. Passenger and Support (and when needed a elite gunman) No.
Lucky Number [only if passenger, you can make one up]: (19191) No.
Appearance: (Muslim Boy)Muslims don't have a specific appearance. Orange hair brown eyes. Missing leg. (Average white skin color.) What do you mean average?
Personality: Really nice. (He has a personality fro suing his fake leg to do random stuff like shooting thermal missiles at dead bodies or messing around. He can be deadly if you anger him. He is helpful and may just save you life with his Body armor. He is nice when you meet him and nicer when you are friends. He kills all foe's with his .50 Cag Sniper.)
"personality for suing his fake leg to do random stuff like shooting THERMAL MISSLES at dead bodies or messing around" REALLY?
"He can be deadly if you anger him" that's your generic gary sue for you
"he is helpful and may just save you life with his body armor" What kind of 14 year old kid has thermal missles and body armor?
"he kills all foe's with his .50 cag sniper" Really? iStar,did you not see this?
Biography: He was born in America. He was forced to enlist at 10. He was serving then he lost his leg then was deeply gifted from the government. HIs family got to go on the ship. He had a chip implanted in his brain. Other Stuff: Has been known to use his prosthetic to work on. His Prostatic is the Most compact and smartest and most powerful CPU known to man.
"America" "forced to enlist at 10." America's messed up,but not that messed up.
"he was serving and lost his leg and was deeply gifted from the government." None of the real veterans were given gifts from the government. The government bought their prosthetic and paid for rehabilitation. That's it.
"his family got to go on the ship" But it's a lottery. 1 number per person..
"he had a chip implanted in his brain" Why?
"his prostatic is the most compact and smartest and most powerful cpu known to man" No.
Overall 0/10 Not even trying. |
