<spoiler= Millennium time-line>
Millennium time-line
2299: British scientist imposes large-scale terraformation a possibility.
2320: German scientists perfect the large-scale terraformation method.
2342: GSMP (Global Space Migration Program) is formed.
2400: Earth's moon terraformation to sustain human life is completed.
2420: The GSMP begin experimentation for sustaining life on the Moon.
2480: Colonisation of Earth's Moon is given the thumbs up.
2520: The Moon Population reaches 10,000+
2580: Earth's Moon Population reaches 100,000+
2590: Potentially deadly UV radiation disease spotted, dubbed "Shines".
2590: MQP (Moon Quarantine Protocol) is initiated.
2591: Shines confirmed to have consumed 100% of the Moon's population
2600: Moon tracking methods have ceased to function and the status of the Moon's inhabitants becomes quickly unknown.
2605: Military forms Earth-Moon.


The year is 2660. It's been 100 years since the colonisation of our Moon took place and 60 since we lost communications with the inhabitants. Current speculation suggests that the outbreak of 'shines' is the cause. We know nothing of the disease, what it does, where it originated, only that it lead to the instant quarantining of the Moon.

The military has spent a number of decades forming Earth-Moon, an operation dedicated to reconnaissance of the Moon. Only the military's finest soldiers can sign up for the cause. Do you have what it takes to enlist? Sign up for EM-1 Squad today!

<spoiler=Character List>

Name: Joshua Richardson
Age: 20
Class: Gunman
Appearance: A man bordering on a heavy build, but yet still fits a large suit, Joshua stands at 6'1". He has a thin brown stubble, usually from neglecting to shave for a day. His stands straight like the soldier he is, his face set and with brown eyes glimmering as he looks to the future. He is the average simple soldier, there to do his duty.
Background: To be edited in later


Name: Dan Jameson
Age: 25
Class: Gunman
Appearance: Has a tall,slight build that belies his physical sterngth. He has dark brown eyes and brown hair cut as long as regulations allow. A scar runs along the left side of his jaw.
Background: Despite being intelligent, Dan never did well at school, mainly as an act of rebellion against parents who were trying to pressure him into following family tradition and pursuing a medical career. Instead, he threw himself into sport, becoming an impressive athlete. Unsure about his future, he enlisted at the age of 18, and proceeded to prove himself as a competent soldier. However, he was always denied promotion due to his laid back attitude and his occasional unwillingness to follow commands he disagrees with.

Name: Michael Gonzales
Age: 22
Class: Gunman
Appearance: 5"9, lean athletic build. Has short black hair which he keeps covered by a baseball cap with striking gray eyes.
Background: Michael was born into a lower class neighborhood plagued by crime and violence. He lived having to toil for everything and showed that when he joined the military. Setting himself apart from the rank and file, Michael excelled as a soldier and marksman which allowed him to be selected for Earth-Moon


Name: Harry Smith
Age: 32
Class: Support
Appearance: A rather tall man with long blonde hair tied up with a bandana, He is about and has bright green eyes, his face is broad and the look of stubborness is upon it.
Background: Harry grew up knowing that one day he would be in the millitary, Born August 3rd in 2628, He is easy going and polite but when you get on his bad side, Whoa mother you better run, Harry has the tendancy to lose his cool and start shooting stuff in a one mile radius, But he knows who is part of the team and who isn't, He was pressed into service about 10 years ago and after serving the millitary saw a flyer hanging about in his domitory about "Earth-Moon". He immeadiately signed up in spite of his wellbeing, His parents were on that ball of rock, And he was going to save them.

Name: Dekres "Dek" Ignes
Age: 24
Class: Support
Appearance: Tall and not overly built, Dekres looks very youthful, he is often punished for looking very lax compared with other troopers, he has blue eyes and messy brown hair.
Background: Dekres was born without Myostatin making his muscles denser and stronger than normal. He bounced around schools in his early youth, testing out his strength in fights with other students and being expelled for it, after he got rejected from a college at the age of 21, he signed up to be in the military, he was quickly drafted into being a support troop. Finding it easier than anything else he done, he stuck with it, and when the mission to Earth-Moon came up, he joined as quickly as he could. He was bored of sitting about on the same rock anyway.



Name: Jonathon "Doc" Shannow
Age: 43
Class: Doctor
Appearance: Ageing well, Jon is still tall, relatively handsome, and while he was never powerfully built, he has yet to feel the weakening touch of age. His thin face is built out of sharp edges and weathered by time, and looks imposing and harsh until his warm personality shows through. His hair, which is dark but shows the odd silver hair, is worn long and hangs freely, save when he is dealing with open wounds, when he ties it back
Background: With a quick mind, steady hands and a penchant for fixing things and solving problems, Jon knew from his teens that he would be either an engineer or a medic. The deciding factor was when he did better in biology than physics, and from then his career was set. He studied voraciously, gathering qualifications and setting himself up for what he saw as the noblest cause available to him; curring people's suffering where they needed it most, right on the front line. He joined up to the military forces, and with his impressive qualifications, undeniable skill and cool head in the heat of combat, he was sent to Earth-Moon

Ugh Nivag why now? Why do you have to start something that looks so interesting and yet I can't join due to being in like 8 other RPs. Well I'm just going to stalk this RP for now until my schedule clears up at least and for now consider this a poorly disguised bump

At this rate, I highly doubt it's going to kick off any time soon. So hopefully you'll be cleared up by the time we begin.

J'arrive, mon ami!
[sup]For the less linguistically gifted: Look who's here, *****![/sup]

Also, I has questions, many questions!
1) What is the current state of medical technology? Are we dealing in medi-gel or just futuristic versions of modern stuff?
2) How long is the average life span? What I mean is, is there much difference in the ageing process due to technology?
3) What is the state of body modification? Are prosthetic/bionic limbs available, or is a lost limb gone forever/ and what of extras added to the body to improve it?

At this point, it's just giving you an idea what my character will be like. Expect edits as I find out more stuff about this universe and adjust myself accordingly

1) Being a doctor basically allows you to treat damage excluding death. You're more than welcome to use any plausible scientific mumbo-jumbo you wish.

2) I'm gonna say 90 years is an average healthy life.

3) I'm happy for you to have bionic limbs, but as for crafting them along the way I'm not so sure. Depends on the circumstances and available resources at the time. Weapons in place of limbs is where I draw the line.

Basically, I'm willing to be quite open about this but there is obviously a line. I'll accept you right now if if you're happy with the setting.

That's cool, but be aware that making things open leaves you vulnerable to ThreeWords Syndrome, where I make up a lot of lore. No worries though, cos it usually makes sense and is adopted into the RP quite naturally

Also, I'm happy with the character as he is, though I might edit before we start...

If you're not great at RPs, then you're only going to get better by playing RPs aren't you :) You're accepted. And your appearance is dandy.

You know what? To hell with it. I'm throwing my proverbial hat into the ring. I'll give you a tenative sheet tonight, but will edit in the backstory tomorrow, when it isn't four in the morning.

May as well launch two pence worth anyway :) That is the correct version of what he has anyway.

Sorry to seem like a nit-picker, but wouldn't it be 'born without Myostatin'?

As it says in the article your link goes to, "Myostatin (also known as growth differentiation factor 8) is a secreted TGF beta protein family member that inhibits muscle differentiation and growth" and "mutant mice that lack the gene... have approximately twice as much muscle as normal mice"

It should say that yes, my mind kind of sees that as the defect rather than the effected gene. I shall edit, thanks for catching that >.>

I would love to have included a sniper class in general but, I don't predict there really being much use for it but I'm sure I can add one or two in. Would you be happy to possibly find a sniper rifle along the way?
