    Default Alien and/or Predator Interest Check

    In the deep, cold reaches of far space, people work hard. Refining ore, terraforming planets, hauling cargo, it doesn’t matter what they do, it just matters who they work for. The Weyland-Yutani conglomerate, simply known as The Company, runs most human colonies through the Extrasolar Colonization Administration. On distant planets, people live, sleep, and breathe Weyland-Yutani.

    Life on Holroyd-9 is no different. Although the jungle planet is one of the nicer colony planets, the work is still back-breaking. The jungle is thick, dark, and foreboding. There’s no telling what could be out there. Anxiety is creeping through the colony as rumors spread of corporate espionage and the possibility of shutting down operations. Paranoia is another close friend as talk swirls of potential androids, the white-blooded synthetic people The Company uses to potentially deadly efficiency.

    On that note, I’ve recently rewatched Alien, and the news of the next Predator movie has rekindled my interest in the two series. I’ve always been a fan of the classic, creeping horror and suspense, the practical effects that still hold up, and of course, the relationship between Yautja and Xenomorph. I’m hoping to capture some of the terror that Alien does so well, along with the frantic action of Predator. I was thinking of either doing an Alien, Predator, or potentially Alien vs. Predator roleplay, depending on the interest level. If you have a preference, definitely let me know.

    I'm always down for some Ridley Scott flavor!
    The final battle,
    Pain, suffering; overcome,
    by the united.

    I'm more of a Alien universe being... that being said, I would not be opposed to both if their were combined in a meaningful and interesting way.

    Brainstorming time?

    My first thought is why are they on a jungle planet?
    Clearing it for agriculture?
    Studying the native fauna for transplant and terraforming?
    Exploiting rich mineral deposits?

    Maybe an early colony where the terraforming and bio engineered plants went a bit overboard? So it has almost been abandoned expect for a skeleton crew running test on how the environment evolves?

    Or has it always been that way? An ancient and forgotten bastion of the Yautja hiding dark secrets under the jungle canopy until someone stubles across them?

    Now i'm getting myself excited.

    Pain, suffering; overcome,

    The reason they’re on a jungle planet is for all of the valuable natural resources, like ores, wood, animals, and materials used in building spacecraft. It’s far from abandoned, with the main colony housing nearly 1,000 civilians in family groups. The reason the Xenomorphs are showing up now is because the Yautja periodically seed this planet, amongst others, with eggs. Once there’s Xenos to hunt, they send down a team of Predators to earn their first blood, essentially being a gruesome rite of passage. The only difference is this time around, there’s humans to infest.
