✯ Raccoon Catcher ✯
Dear worker,
Congratulations! You have been selected to participate in an innovative launch in space exploration. Due to your exceptional talent and continued employment at Starfox Enterprises, we are extending this invitation to you, dear worker. But be warned. This expedition is not without danger. The destination planet is entirely unexplored and we cannot not be certain that any intelligent species will be kind, if any exist. Below you will find the estimated calculations for the planetary information. These calculations are purely mathematical and cannot be guaranteed to match the actual statistics of the planet. If you decide to participate in this unprecedented adventure, be sure to inform your supervisor immediately to begin preparation. We hope to see you soon!

Planetary Information

Planetary Information for: TFTS1M22-EAS
Planet Type: Terrestrial
The planet is a typical ball of rock and metals orbiting a sun. Most terrestrial planets have atmospheres, and many have developed life.
Terrain: Forest
Forests occur most commonly in temperate zones, but they can also occur in very cold or warm areas. If they receive a great deal of precipitation in tropical areas, they are called rain forests. Forests may be active year round, or may be seasonal (most of the plants go into hibernation during cooler seasons). They generally receive ample rainfall.
Temperature: Temperate
Temperate planets average between -5 and 29 degrees Celsius, and are in the most comfortable temperature bands for humans and other life forms.
Gravity: Standard
Standard gravity is that which is most comfortable for humans. Standard gravity includes several gradients of true gravitational pull, but is placed within this convenient grouping.
Atmosphere: Type I (Breathable)
A type I atmosphere has a proper mixture of oxygen, nitrogen and other gases so that humans and comparable species can breathe it unassisted. These atmospheres may have contaminants that over the long term have a detrimental effect. Planets with a type I atmosphere will have life or at least had life recently.
Hydrosphere: Moderate
The planet is 15-49 percent covered by land. The planet has large oceans and probably a well-developed river network, especially if the planet has large hills and mountains. There are probably many different terrain types.
Function: Exploration
This planet, and the whole system for that matter, has seldom been visited, until now, when the characters have arrived. Exploration planets tend to have primitive technology levels (if there are even sentient species). There are few urban areas, with the emphasis on dangerous wilderness. Lost artifacts from past ages may be on these planets, or there may simply be wandering tribes of aliens who are eager to trade. These planets may be rich in natural resources. There may be some hint of galactic civilization in these systems, or on the planet in question -- perhaps a secretive trader has retired here, or fugitives may be hiding here. These locales are excellent for hidden bases, or if near important trade routes, may be a convenient stopover for independent traders.
Government: Alliance/Federation
Several different groups (tribes, nation-states, corporations or whatever else) have formed an alliance. The degree of cooperation and the vitality of the alliance differs from situation to situation. Typical purposes for alliance include an improved economy, mutual defense, or the arrival of a situation so compelling that the different groups can put aside their problems to accomplish "a greater good." Betrayal is always a possibility, especially if there are other competing alliances.
Tech Level: Stone
Stone level civilizations have loosely-knit cultures and the basic social unit is likely to be the tribe. The society makes and uses stone tools and may have developed primitive agriculture. These people do not understand the concept of money, so trade will be by barter. There is no transportation network.
Starport: Landing Field
There may be a flat space on the ground for ships to land. There is no control tower (there may not even be other starships on the planet). Fueling and repair services are probably unavailable at any price.

Species
-
Talegans
Description: Talegans typically reside in the mountainous areas of Pangea and generally avoid contact with other species. They are easily aggravated and exceptionally strong. Though some are graced with charisma, many are not due to the species' ignorance of others' customs and their short tempers.
Appearance: Talegans are often described with a demonic appearance. They are generally humanoid with a pair of horns from their heads and a pointed tail. Just as humans can vary in shape and size, so can Talegans - their horns especially. Common skin colors for Talegans are shades of red and blue, as well as skin colors common among humans.
Strength(s): Physical strength, balance
Weakness(es): Short temper, cultural ignorance, limited people skills
Catali
Description: The Catali are a generally friendly and personable species. They can often get along with anyone unless that person goes out of their way to frustrate a member of the Catali. The agility makes them greats fighters and performers.
Appearance: The Catali are a humanoid race with many feline characteristics. These many vary from patterns on theskins, a feline face, a tail, and pointed ears. Some members of the Catali will exhibit all these characteristic, some will exhibit only one or two. The extent to which these characteristics occur also varies so some races of Catali may exhibit more feline characteristics than humanoid and vice versa.
Strength(s): Agile, charismatic, creative, quick
Weakness(es): Longer sleep durations than humans, hydrophobic
Vensilans
Description: Vensilans are a reptilian species that typically reside in the heavily forested areas of Pangea. They have a natural resentment toward those that lack respect for the planet which they inhabit. Vensilans are familiar with many types of natural substances and natural poisons and care deeply for the health and maintenance of the planet.
Appearance: Vensilans have a humanoid body and face structure. However, their skin is covered in reptilian scales which can vary in color from greens to browns or a combination of both. Some races of Vensilans have reptilian tails and fangs while other lack other reptilian characteristics.
Strength(s): Knowledge of nature and poisons, stealthy, natural camouflage
Weakness(es): Cold-blooded, impersonal
If you'd like to create your own species, simply include an outline similar to those above in your CS. We can discuss the details if an issue arises.

Plot and Rules
-
A team of specially-trained experts is launched into outer space in the hope of landing on Planet TFTS1M22-EAS, also called by the more common name of Pangea. The trip will be, without a doubt, risky. Earth's best scientists aren't entirely certain that it exists or if it does, that it will follow their predicted model. The only way to know for certain is to risk the lives of a few brave volunteers who are each an expert in their field.
When the team lands on the planet and their communications go down, they have to rely on each other and their expertise to survive the unknown dangers of the planet. Left to their own devices, it is up to the team whether to be a friend or foe to the unwitting natives. Will they be the first to befriend these foreign species or to conquer the new planet?
I'm looking for people to play both humans from Earth and Pangea natives. This interest check is subject to change. I've been working on it for a few days now and just want to put it out there to gauge interest. I'll continue to work on it and improve it. Please let me know your suggestions and/or constructive criticism if you have any in mind!
If you have any concerns regarding these or any other details, feel free to pm or tag me!

Proper grammar is a must
English doesn't have to be your first language but you must understand how to write it. A few mistakes every now and then are okay but if you write in "txt talk" or just have terrible grammar, you will not be accepted into the roleplay. This is absolutely non-negotiable.
[*]A minimum of one response per 3 days
-
This requirement may be negotiated in certain circumstances but it's important to be online often to help move the plot along
[*]A minimum of three paragraphs per response
-
A paragraph, in this case, is defined as at least four lines of solid content
[*]Being rude out of character is unacceptable
-
Your partners are your friends. You should bond over the RP, not bicker and argue. In character, there are no restrictions as long as your character has a good reason.

Application
-
This questionnaire is not your character sheet. You do not have to include every detail about your character. It doesn't have to be pretty. If you want to provide a more complex, prettier version then go ahead (I love reading character sheets!). This is the minimum I'm looking for to consider a character for application. Let me know if you have any suggestions, questions, or concerns.
