So Whats This Now?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is my attempt at another attempt at making a 'me dming a bunch of lads through a hostile and bizarre setting' rp. This time, I shall be taking a cast of characters from across fiction to the horrific depths of Barotrauma, a game about venturing through the aquatic depths of Juptier's moon Europa in a submarine, where most everything would like you dead. The Crew shall be venturing through Eurpoa's depths, trying to figure out how they came to this place and, hopefully, how to leave it, while also visiting others that have been trapped within this icy moon, exploring what secrets the depths hide, and just surviving against the dangers the lurk deep below.
To try and keep this alive for longer, I shall also be implementing specific Roles for most characters; which shall lend them knowledge to assist them in their journey. However, putting a character within a role that would fit them without the (mysteriously placed) knowledge would probably be beneficial. Or just throw someone unfit and watch the chaos fly!
Enjoy!
The Rules
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. All of Tess's rules still apply.
2. Presence in the discord, while not mandatory, is highly recommended so as to easily coordinate plot ideas, possible character interactions, and so forth.
3. Decent grammar and a lack of 1-3 liners is a must here.
4. If you are going to be inactive for a time, please alert both those you are rping with and myself.
5. Only one character per person please
6. Remember the time honored tradition of the Fade To Black. Use it, and use it well.
7. Powergaming is a no. If you seek to do something, give others the freedom to react rather than dictating it yourself.

The Captain: S/he who shall lead the crew of this submarine. Whether it is out of genuine want or out of necessity is irrelevant; they shall be the compass pointing this motely crew in the right direction, both in their goals and in navigating the submarine they're all stuck in.
- Played By: Lady Varis Aurifort
- Additional Knowledge: Navigational terminal operation, sonar operation, docking procedures.
The Engineer: S/he who shall make the lights stay on and that then engine turns. Perfectionist out of necessity, due to the danger that the slightest error could put the whole crew in, be it with the electrical network, the engine, or otherwise. And with the dangers that Europa presents, maintenance is always needed
- Additional Knowledge: Engine operations, electrical maintenance
The Mechanic: S/he who shall keep the submarine afloat. A certain lack of self preservation is required for one to be the one meant to hurl oneself at a hole leading to the lightless depths and be the one to weld it shut, or to dive into the guts of a malfunctioning deconstructor and fix it before it turns parts of you to material components.
- Additional Knowledge: Machinery maintenance, hull repair, constructor operation
The Medic: S/he who shall ensure the crew stays alive. Injuries while traveling through Europa's depths are inevitable; ensuring they bounce back from those injuries is less a matter of skill, but of management. Submersible journeys are often long, and there is only so many medical supplies one can pack, and only so many forms of injury one can expect.
- Additional Knowledge: First aid, infection/poison diagnosis, antidote application
The Security: S/he who shall defend the sub with their life. Be it weapons in hand or those on the sub, they shall beat back the beasts of Eurpoa from dragging the submarine into oblivion. Even as the sub breaks around them, and as beasts tear their comrades apart, they shall fight till the last breath.
- Additional Knowledge: Submarine weapon operation, handheld weapons use
The AI: S/he who shall acclimate the crew to their new condition. Perhaps they were too taken, and have simply had more time to settle into their condition, irrelevant of if they had actual time or not. Perhaps they were tailor-made for this situation, designed to ensure the sub they were placed in runs well.
- NOTE: This AI can either be a fictional AI or otherwise digital being, placed within the submarine much like the rest of the crew, or one original to this submarine, to ensure they acclimate to their new situation
- Additional Knowledge: General submarine operations, general information on Europa
