New skies, new home (Space Colony)

[AxelVanDeriz]

You and a group of nomadic space travelers have fled Earth to avoid an impending disaster. Headed for a planet In a nearby Galaxy found to support life in many forms. When you get there, the troubles begin and dangers present themselves quickly. starting with finding a decent place to establish the first colony, other problems soon arrive in the form of predatory alien creatures, food shortages, a new weather system to adapt to, among other things. After tentative testing and only 2 deaths by unknown pathogens, the group discovers 3 edible fruits, 2 vegetables, a few herds of different herbivorous animals, and several schools of various fish in the nearby lake and river.​

Spoiler: General Info 

Fruit:

Karrokua fruit: Resembling a smooth pineapple with edible skin, the taste is a combination of tantalizing sweet pineapple-cherry and mild spicy onion, this could be good for stir fry

Sweet-n-sour fruit: Known to be found only on the hotter days of each season, it looks like an orange, and tastes a combination of orange and lemon or lime

Moon Fruit : a fruit resembling bright blue bananas with a subtle glow at night. The group has found their taste is good to pacify noisy children, only found on warm nights with at least a half moon to light them up.

Vegetables:

Mito Peas : A meaty, hardy variety of what seem to be legumes. Packed with protein and fiber, paired with a Karrokua fruit and possibly Purko Root, would make an excellent stir fry.

Purko Root: the crunchy sweetish taste of carrots and corn meets the starchiness of a potato. A good staple veggie for harder times of the year. Shaped like a carrot with yellow skin and slightly thicker girth.


Fish

River fish
Gubarn fish :The equivalent of salmon with a slightly higher calorie and protein content. Full of essential oils to keep skin healthy and the mind sharp.

Shlunksy River eel : Longer body than the Guba, not as pretty, but weighs roughly the same with the same nutrition.

Lake Fish
Pink Coral Lake shrimp : Just like the jumbo-sized shrimp in our home world supermarkets except pink when raw, and turn red until cooked to a bright scarlet like a cooked lobster.

Muk Fish: a strangely tasty bottom feeder with a slight chicken-like flavor. About the length of your hand, but meaty they make a good single-serving meal.

The herd of herbivores //Currently two known herds of herbivores have been sighted in and traveling near the area.//

Pearltusk: Resembling the wild boar with enough meat on one average adult to feed 20-25 people, they also have plenty of fat to use for Oil for lighting torches of various types. Often traveling in smallish herds with 3 adult females and 1 male and any Pearlets they may have. Males generally weigh 1/2 as much more as females, so yield most meat.

Nish'ka Hopper: Resembling large jackrabbits with plush fur and a decent yield of meat for one good meal each. Pair this with Purko Root and Mito Peas, and Purko Flour mixed into the juices, add a bit of water and you got a delicious pot of Hopper stew. Generally travel in larger groups of 10-14 with 2 or 3 around the area keeping eyes, ears and nose out for danger while the others graze in the tall tender grass leaves.

water The water is similar in molecular structure as fresh water back on Earth, it can be consumed.

I'm curious how long do you expect posts to be, and how often would you expect posts?

[AxelVanDeriz]

Well, I expect a paragraph per reply, and I consider a paragraph to be a minimum of 3 full sentences.... and I can handle as little as 3-5 posts a week, as long as there's some activity, ya know?

[Tolvo]

Alright that might be doable. I can't guarantee but I might make a character when I can to then apply. It sounds like a fun premise.

[AxelVanDeriz]

awesome. ^^

History: Sif has raised her little sister since she was 1, their parents had died due to an accident, leaving the two with out care givers. Chava refused to go into the system and opted to raise herself and her sister herself. And that's exactly what she did. She spent all her time learning her fathers old trade of Auto repair and even advanced past that to higher levels of Engineering. She works tirelessly to make sure her younger sister is well cared for and safe. So naturally when she heard about the meteor she looked for a way to get her sister to safety, it helped that she had engineering knowledge which gave her some lee way when getting onto a ship with her sister.
Family: Both Parents are Deceased and they have no other known living relatives. Sienna her sister.
Previous Occupation: Ran a small repair shop.
Current Occupation (what's their job now?) : Engineer

Personality: Sif seems to generally be in a bad mood, she's serious about getting things done and getting them done right and gets frustrated over importance, She's a bit of a work-o-holic and extremely protective of her younger sister.

Sie stands at roughly 5'4". She's also got bright red hair like her sister but its much longer and almost always held up in a pony tail. She's a childish cute face with bright blue eyes.

History: Its always just been Sie and her sister, the neighborhood they lived in wasn't the safest one to play so she didn't have many friends while Sif worked. So she got into tinkering and making herself friends to pass the time. She got really excited when her sister said they were going somewhere knew and she was suddenly surrounded by lots of new people, even if things got really tough.
