Hi there I just had a few questions since i was preparing to write my first entry...

Since this is an AU rpg, I needed to know a few things.

1. Prometheus is still destroyed, right? And more of it is left intact since the plot said we are trying to piece together what's left?

2. Who is still alive? Everyone? Are any of the characters dead?

3. How did the Prometheus crash into the engineer ship, was it on autopilot?

Excellent questions, good man! THE ANSWERS have been updated!

-So is the creature that Shaw birthed still out there somewhere? Its not aboard Prometheus still is it?

-What about the "Deacon"?

UPDATED. I believe the Deacon and the creature Shaw birthed are the same...but I could be wrong? Kitty might have to whack me upside the head for that one if I'm completely off.

- Boots

According to more accurate sources, the creature Shaw birthed (the Trilobite) is dead. But who really knows for certain? The Deacon, which came from the Trilobite and The Engineer, is still alive, running around.

Although people haven't been asking questions here, there have been some issues that came up in the C-Box, so we've updated the ANSWERS.

I've looked everywhere and I can't seem to find it, so I'm sorry if the answer is lurking around! When was Belleprophen Industries created, and when was the first Andrew (if there is more) created/produced?

Good questions! We updated the ANSWERS to solve any time inconsistencies.

Hello everybody!

I found your forum at Rpg-Directory. „The Phoenix“ wrote to my thread where I was searching for my first English rpg.

It's the best of all offers and I finally managed to see the film a few days ago. So I would like to try my first character/play here.

I would prefer to take an Atlas crew member – especially one of the medics.

I hope that's OK and I would like to know if there are some additional things I have do know/consider.

Greetings

Freya Stark (from RPG-Directory)

Freya! Hi there! I'm "The Phoenix" on RPG (Boots here), and welcome to the board! I'm sorry it took me so long to respond to your question, I didn't even see it here! To answer you, nope! There's nothing more you need to know. I'm excited to have another Atlas crew member! If anything, I would read the EXTRA INFORMATION and the different SUBPLOTS. Other than that, you're good to go! Feel free to let us know if you have any other questions, either in here or in the c-box!

Thank you for your answer. It wasn't a long time especially because of Christmas/holidays.

Are there any other possibilities to find out more about the situation on earth (living conditions, political situation, …)? Could be important for my characters story/CV. I'm not sure how much story is necessary. Your application form differs a little from those I had to use in German RPGs.

I think I will have the time to make the character after Christmas days. Till then I wish you Merry Christmas and/or happy Holidays.

Freya

Definitely! Earth, as it currently stands, has a couple defining characteristics. Humans have taken a toll on the environment, making it highly polluted. The technology race is huge--akin to the space race or the nuclear race. Countries are divided with respect to their tech-skills. China develops a lot of the tech and America takes a lot of the credit (same old, same old).

A lot of people have moved on to other colonies to take advantage of the work opportunities there. The people that stay on earth usually stay for nostalgic value or because they can't afford to leave. News of evidence of our "creators" on LV-223 really shook Earth, especially the religious fractions. Religious riots are common in lesser policed states. Police and military presence is heavy in "high risk" areas.

On the flip side, Weyland Industries has its headquarters on Earth, as do many other major technology companies and android factories. There's a pretty large gap between the wealthy and the poor.

Those are all the details I can think up at the moment, but let me know if you have any more specific questions! And happy holidays to you too! Happy brainstorming!

Thanks. I think that's enough. I have finished my application and now I only can hope it's satisfactory.

So uh, where are the "Other Locations" in regards to the Prometheus?

Like, my understanding of the movie was that the planet was OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, thereby severely limiting the rescue chances! If not reducing them to nothing. But, I'm assuming that these other locations aren't entirely random. Or maybe they are!

Please elaborate on the crew's understanding of rescue chances!
