Downtime (played by kipxan)

Twenty years after the peak of interstellar travel and exoplanet colonization, the homeworld Earth began to decay both as a society and an environment. Rapidly dropping temperatures, high amounts of radiation, and war made the planet near inhabitable. Desperate to save their planet of origin, scientists began to take animal testing to another level: adding robotic limbs, combining species, and extreme exposure to specific substances, all in an effort to manufacture the gene that enables survival in this habitat.

However, the animals do not wish to spend their life in captivity. They learn of the Other Worlds, colonies where such cruelty is outlawed. They begin to fight back, and one by one the humans notice that every day, they clock in to another broken, empty crate....

Human or animal, the Earth you call home was flooded and frozen centuries ago as a gruesome result of climate change, causing humans and the few domesticated species left to flee to the far north and south. You reside in the clutches of the last beings on this planet while the rich spend their days in luxury on tropical planets and the middle classes scrape by in other foreign solar systems.

As a poor human scientist, your job is to manipulate DNA to find the ultimate creature capable of surviving in this harsh environment. After that, you are responsible for finding a way to implement those genes into human bodies.

As a feral test subject, you are experimented on day and night by the scientists. Your only wish is to escape Earth and find a way to survive on exoplanets.

Only one faction's goal can be achieved.

OOC: ADD ME AS A TEST SUBJECT I AM I HAVE MY PROFILE AT http://www.rprepository.com/site.php?char=86045

He was having a very bad day. So far, he had been tormented, shoved into boxes he could not fit in, given too many injections to count, and no food at all. Just radioactive water. Nothing could stop him from yelling in Draku, but the water had burned his mouth so much that it hurt to talk. As another scientist came in, walking towards his cage, he snarled, but it sounded more like a desperate whimper. The scientist grabbed out a small hammer and opened the door to the cage. The scientist yanked him out of the small cage, and with ease, flipped it upside down, and started to hammer in rusty nails. he flipped it back over, and pushed him back inside.
Jekka (played by CoolShortie)

Jekka was in a similar situation. The facility had multiple rooms, each contained in different areas. The quadrupeds were in one section, while the bipedals, such as Jekka, were kept in another. He had undergone a similar treatment; injections, shved places that he didn't fit, and put through many other physical tests, some of which he could hardly complete. Although, nothing was worse than being shot at, trying to avoid the various projectiles launched by catapults, ballistas, or more modern machines like automatics, or even cannons. The higher he flew, the riskier it was for him, since the facility had an artificial ceiling, that when reached, would deliver a nasty shock to whoever rose above the height. Jekka had learned this the hard way.
Andrej (played by UAZ-469)

"Go to this frozen earth they said", Andrej mumbled annoyed to himself while walking through a snowy field. "It will be fun they said." His trusty loaded assault rifle in his hands and his coat and combat armour protecting him from the freezing cold, he made his way to the shadowy silhouettes of some buildings in the distance. He knows that his black clothing made him stick out like a sore thumb in the endless white, but then again he wasn't instructed to stay here for long.
"Remember, Andrej", a gruesomely robotic, yet actually friendly voice told him over his integrated RT unit. "Your objective is to retrieve as much data from those experiments as you can and then get out of here as soon as possible. If you GOD DAMN IT MORGAN STOP PAINTING ME!” In the background he heard a giggling girl and the sounds of a brush being dipped in a can of paint, which, he had to admit, amused him. An angered groan later, the voice continued, “If you absolutely have to cooperate with someone else, then make sure to dispose them afterwards.”
“Disposing like murdering them?”, Andrej asked for clarification. Of course the answer was clear to him, because this always involved leaving no witnesses and his superiors knew, he wouldn't be able to shoot anyone unless cornered and threatened. But being the only human on their ship, only he could go on this mission and personality-wise, he was still the most suitable soldier, despite being a horrible combatant.

“I know you absolutely hate it”, his mission control said. “But if it makes you feel more comfortable, then how about just locking them in closets?”
“It's okay, Bosman, just leave it to me. I'll do this...somehow...”
“We will wait in the ship for your return. And please, don't screw up this time. I'm already running out of excuses and the kapitan doesn't seem like forgiving you another time.”
“I know, I know..." Andrej sighed. "Well, here it goes!”

Looking around for possible pursuers, he then went ahead.
