"Welcome, one and all, to the star cruiser Zodiac™! The greatest starship ever created by the Andromeda Corporation, the Zodiac™ represents centuries of technological progress, as the first ship to incorporate a fully functional dimensional hyperdrive, making it possible to travel to star systems billions of light years away! And you are one of the lucky few chosen to accompany us on our maiden voyage, to the distant Andromeda galaxy- the namesake of our company.

__________________________________________________
As a crew member of the Zodiac™, the opportunities were vast. The first of its kind, this spaceship bound for a star system at the edge of the Andromeda galaxy was quite an achievement. This only served to make it all the more tragic when the Zodiac™ hit an asteroid while exiting hyperdrive.
The ship, with damaged controls and destroyed communications, is only within range of the smallest cluster of planets, though thankfully one appears to be habitable. Landing safely on said planet will be a challenge, but then what? Pray you find a way to repair the ship yourselves or wait for the rescue that only a ship like the Zodiac™ could provide- if there was another like it, that is.

________________________________________________________________
As a sci-fi setting, there exist such things as laser guns, warp pads, and jetpacks. Do with this as you will.
The Zodiac™ is divided into 12 sections, as is the 12 symbols in the zodiac.
Ares is the cockpit
Taurus is the engine room
Gemini is the med bay
Cancer is the chem lab
Leo is the weaponry room
Virgo is the greenhouse
Libra is the storage room
Scorpio is the barracks
Sagittarius is the common area
Capricorn is the quarantine chamber
Aquarius is the water supply area
Pisces is the showers/cleaning area
Rules
Because we need them
Because we need them
-All crew members are either human, androids, or AIs. No sentient alien species have been discovered so far, although there may be intelligent lifeforms on this new planet. Human characters should not have superpowers/abilities beyond that of a regular human, but they can own technological upgrades/special gear.
- Characters must be a minimum of fifteen years old. (It's the future, they're probably smarter there.)
- All posts must abide by CS rules. (No gore, explicit scenes, etc.)
- Powerplaying/creating all-powerful characters is not allowed.
- Please oh please stay active. This is actually a revamped roleplay, the old version of this died due to inactivity, and myself and another member (TheNinthOne) got permission from the original owner to remake this roleplay.
- Up to three characters are allowed per person.
- Character reservations are effective for two days.
- You do not have to put the little trademarked thing after saying "Zodiac". I just did it for the giggles.
- At least one full paragraph (five sentences minimum) per post, please. Occasional writer's block is tolerated.
- Romance between different users must come with consent from both sides.
- Please post character bios in the discussion thread.
- Be sure to interact with others, don't just off and brood in the corner all the time.
