I figured I'd make this thread just for the roleplayers (all three of us) to just throw around ideas or plans for the story.
Eajo, Jack, feel free to use any of the NPCs or even progress the story...you don't need to wait for me all the time. I'll catch up if you wish to move forward.

XP I dont like controlling NPCs.
But I have an idea. What if the marines went it, secured the ship, and when they didnt find anything, they pull out. So the marines send in a salvage team, but they lose contact. The Salvage team stumbles upon some eggs, aliens let loose, marines go in to rescue. Just a general direction I think might work for acctually introducing the aliens. XP I already talked to you about this over PM Bebi, just thought Id post it.

I pose two questions to Jack and Eajo, just for my sake of knowing how to work the RPG.
1. What is your take on the Praetorian? Do you feel it looks like a young Queen and follows the AvP explanation or do you think it looks like a mutated/altered warrior as shown in the comics?
2. What is your take on the Xenos that serve the Queen? Are you a Cowl supporter or a Caste Supporter? Cowl meaning you believe that all the Xenos are drones and that smooth headed aliens are just young Xenos, while the ridge headed aliens are mature. Caste means that there is a specific xeno for each function; ridge heads are Drones, smooth heads are Warriors...

I think a praetorian should look like it does in AVP2.
And its hard for me to pick a support group...I think I might be a Caste group, because Warrior Aliens/Alpha Drones I do like.

I don't know about how the preditorian should look like but it should befinetly look more deadlier than normal warriors. Caste, I mean I doubt it will make that much of a difference but for me caste. Are we still having a ravanger because that would be cool. No offense Jack but waiting to actually start fighting might throw away potential vict.. I mean rp joinees (yes I made that word up). Of course it is a really good idea and I would stay either way.

So you guys know, we're currently entering the flight deck. And since the whole ending took place on this deck, we'll have several tossed steel grates from the floor, the acid burns by the dropship and of course Bishop's blood all over the floor.
And of course, as it stands Eajo, our Marine force is a one way ticket in...we can get out, but we're searching for survivors, investigating what happened and of course running into trouble.

Alright...I'm also trying to figure out how our Marines will encounter the Xenos. Especially with such a diverse idea of certain things...primarily the idea of a Praetorian.
So this is what I'm thinking in the way of Xenos to encounter:
= Drones (Ridge Headed Alien)
= Warriors (Smooth Headed Alien)
= Runners
= Praetorians (Comic version AND AvP version) - The comic version, with the elongated mandibles and slightly larger size are the outer perimeter Praetorians. The Queen looking Praetorian are going to be the guardians of the inner sanctum.
= Carrier (I'd like to have at least one)
= Ravagers are still in debate...however, if done, I'll only put 2 in...who will also operate around the inner sanctum unless sent out.
**As a note, the proposed crew size of a Conestoga Class ship is 90, that's excluding Marines. I also expect the number to decrease and increase as we get widdled down.
EDIT: As an addition and incorporation of Jack's idea, we can have our team secure the flight deck, then give the go ahead for a salvage team to be brought over. In the mean time, we're gonna do a little searching, sticking close by and waiting for the salvage team to come over.

Eajo Yeah, but wouldn't it be all the sweater to gun down one of them I unno...Id rather have a more canon RP than one with all sorts of weird aliens.

King Pumpkin Jack Im ok with Carriers, but Im iffy on the Ravagers. I mean, when we have Praetorians, do we NEED ravagers? Well as I said, at the moment the Ravagers are undecided. If we choose to add them they can be added towards the end, when we're breaching the inner sanctum. I suppose it also depends on how many people eventually come to RP. If there isn't a whole lot and it's only us, I don't see why we couldn't all run into our own little nightmare. Ravager, or pair of Praetorians...by that point, if it's still just us, then I'm ok with that. Eajo Yeah, true and it could get kinda confusing. What about runners? Well, Runners are going to be in the RP. Since there aren't any quadrapeds running around, I'm afraid I'm gonna fall back onto the AvP concept and non combative personnel are going to spawn Runners. And for that sake, let's say that those truly essential to the ship could become Warriors or Drones...so bridge operators, security (MP). While less confrontational, services, techs, would create the Runners.

Yeah, more than likely, runners wouldnt be possible without bending the rules...ya know, Im starting to be ok with adding different kinds of aliens in. We could add Ravengers. Only alien I really dont want to see any off is a Predalien. Id rather not have preds in this RP.

It's only gonna be Aliens and Marines. Any of you ever played this Arcade Game? Alien v. Predator Coin Op
