This was originally just posted as an idea to see if there was interest. Since there is, I'm now looking at potential characters for the RP. Read more in the "Characters" spoiler below.
May, 2015.
Three spaceships crash in Saudi Arabia, leaving twenty-five aliens stranded on Earth. People from the nearest towns go to see, and are attacked and killed. When the army gets to the area, they find the nearest eight towns deserted, and only small fragments of metal left from the ships.
Over the next few days, thousands of people are slaughtered. As news spreads across the planet, people flee their homes. Most of Asia ends up deserted, with people either being attacked or desperately trying to find somewhere safe.
About a week after the crash, a body of an alien is found and examined. They are named Plutarians, and they can only survive in hot weather. When people find this out, they head towards the poles. Large areas of Mexico and the southern US states are abandoned, along with most of South America and large parts of Europe.
Now, six months after the first crash, humanity hides in the coldest parts of the world, hoping to survive. Governments have got together and a team of special agents have been assembled. They will be sent to Asia, to find and kill the Plutarians, and to save the planet. The question is, can they do it?
The Plutarians will be at least 7 foot tall, some up to 7 foot 6 inches (approx 215 - 230 cm for anyone who uses metric). They will have long broad bodies, with wide hips and shoulders, but short arms and legs. They will be fat and slow moving for their race, as they were rich and lived in luxury.
They have basic guns like ours, and they have communications devices. They can only communicate with each other though, and cannot communicate with humans or their home planet.
The aliens can also control human minds, preventing them from feeling any emotion or attempting to attack. This is not something the humans know at the beginning of the RP though.
(Apologies for no picture, but my drawing skills aren't so great. If anyone wants to try a picture, PM it to me so I can check it was what I was thinking of.)

The team will have a leader back in Europe, and one in the team as they go to the aliens. I will control these two characters, and they will be in charge of what happens.
Other members of the team will include:
-Military personnel/soldiers/snipers/etc. These are people who will attack and kill the aliens, or anyone who threatens the mission.
-Scientists. They will be trying to find out more about the aliens, and will look for ways to negotiate with them or tame them, instead of just killing.
-Survival experts. Obviously the team is going to an area of the world that has been abandoned, so there won't necessarily be running water/good food supplies/decent shelter. There is also likely to be long periods in the deserts and jungle.
-Labourers. These will be people who find, gather and carry food and other supplies, who build shelter when necessary and other such jobs.
I will also consider other members on the team, but you'll need to convince me that there's a reason for them to be there.

Anyone wishing to take part in the RP needs to submit a character sheet, and then I'll choose who is in and who is not. All sheets need to be submitted by 11pm GMT on Monday 21st February. Any submitted after this will only be considered for reserves, and may be ignored.
Character sheets can either be posted in this thread or PMed to me.
