Hey all! This is a survival horror rp obviously based on Dead Space. While knowledge of the games and their mechanics aren't required, it is preferred. Much like the games, item management and combat will be a major focus for this rp. There are a limited number of roles (4), and they will be available on a first come, first serve basis. I'll explain the roles and how this will work.
Far in Equestria's future, a combination of magical and technological progress has allowed ponies to take to the stars. It is still a fledgling industry, and one of the first jumps was to a nearby solar system by the ESV Solaris. However, it soon fell out of contact, and a shuttle has been dispatched to find out what happened.
Shuttle Roster:
Chief Security Officer (Vaan)
Equipment: Mark 1 Security RIG (Armor Rating 2), Combat Pistol (Semi Auto, Bullet), 10 ammo.
Chief Science Officer (Ruby Soul)
Equipment: Mark 1 Standard RIG (Armor Rating 0), 5 Med Vials (Health +3)
Chief Engineer (Orange Glow)
Equipment: Mark 1 Engineering RIG (Armor Rating 1), Plasma Cutter (Semi Auto, Wide Energy Blast), 10 ammo
Government Representative (Joxer)
Equipment: Mark 1 Standard RIG (Armor Rating 1), Access Key Card (Allows access to some locked doors and systems) (Note: Knowlede of the Dead Space story and lore is required for this role)[
Gameplay:
Each player is equipped with a RIG, which offers protection (depending on the type), storage, radio communications, and a health bar along the back, allowing for others to know your health at a glance. Each player starts with 10 health. If you lose all 10, you are dead.
Combat is handled as usual, although attacks on the player will have a damage number stated.
Equipment and supplies can be found on the ship, such as ammo, health packs, and even better RIGs, but it is up to you to decide who gets what. Each player has their own inventory, and while items can be traded among players, you cannot use an item unless you are the one carrying it.
Side note; ammo is universal. For example, if the security officer gives the engineer 3 ammo from his pistol, the engineer can use it in his plasma cutter.
If you have any questions, or would like to sign up for a role, just message me! We will begin when all roles have been filled.

Alright, Vaan is the security officer. Also be advised, I changed the roles a bit. I made the pilot into a government representative, and I took away the plasma torch from the engineer

"Shock point drive charged, coordinates locked in, engines primed." One of the pilots said, going over the pre-flight checklist. "All right mares and gentle colts, take you're seats and we'll be ready to roll." The other said as the engines of the shuttle hummed to life. The shuttle was hastily constructed around the only other existing shockpoint drive. It was sparse, with only the cockpit and 4 chairs behind it, with some space for storage behind that, where all the crews gear was stored.

Ruby Soul, a diminutive sky blue pegasus mare with a cherry red mane, nodded silently to the words of the pilot as she climbed into her own seat, located in the far back behind the main pilot. She strapped herself in, double checking to make sure she was fully secured, before finally replying with, "Locked in and set. Ready whenever."
Her voice sounded young, almost too young to be considered an adult, but those who had worked with her knew she was very much old enough to be here. She just happened to look and sound like a filly, despite her actual age saying otherwise.

Vaan walked on board, thoroughly looking over everything to make sure in was within code. Seeing a pegusus sitting down before him, he knew he was late by a minute or two. He didn't fret too much as he had to say good bye to his wife and daughter. They were the only reason he took this job.
He walked to the storage area and placed his bag down;he didn't bring much since the ship was so small. Next he radioed security to double check if all bags and personnel were being checked. When they responded that everything checked out, Vaan went on with his job. He went to the pilot and checked his credentials, and then he went to the pegasus sitting down.
"Hello," Vaan spoke, "The name is Vaan ,and I'm the Chief Security Officer for this mission. If you see anything unusual, just report it too me. Anyway, for procedure reasons, I'd like to see some identification."

"Ruby Soul, Chief Science Officer," Ruby replied with a flat stare at the security officer, barely shifting her neck to show off the badge and ID number attached to her suit.
"Wouldn't be on board if I didn't belong her, sir," she continued with an unamused tone of voice.

"Look, I'm just doing my job," Vaan replied, checking the ID the number. When it was green-lighted, Vaan spoke again, "Alright, Ms.Ruby, you're good to go. Though, since you're gonna be around other members of this team for this mission, I suggest cheering up. No one likes a sourpuss."

Orange stumbled in from another part of the ship wiping some grime from her forehead. She was in her rig, but her mask was off for the moment. She took a seat near Ruby and cast her a soft smile, her normally bright orange eyes were mostly dim for everypony elses sake. She strapped herself in and took out her ID.
"Hello everypony, sorry I was late I was just running some last minute checks on the ship."

Joxer walks into the ship, fully suited except for his mask as he tosses a few heavy bags by his seat, stretching slightly before nodding as he sees everyone there. He bends over and secures the bags in the small compartments beside the seat, all except for one which he places between his hooves. Face a mix of neutral and a slight smile at the Security officer who seemed to be a tad slow, He relaxes back in his seat, ID already around his neck.

"Alright Ground, everypony is strapped in, requesting take off clearance." The pilot said, reaching up and flipping some switches. The engines hummed louder as the burned, preparing for liftoff. A few moments later, the pilot clicked his radio. "Copy Ground, this is the ESV Fixer launching." He turned and looked back at the various ponies behind him. "Alright mares and gentlecolts, we're ready for takeoff. If you would please return your seats and tray tables to an upright and locked position." He chuckled at his own joke before hitting the throttle.
The ship shot into the air, gaining alttitude quickly as the force of the take off shoved everypony back in their seat. The discomfort only lasted a few moments, however. When the breeched the atmosphere, weightlessness took over in the few seconds before the shuttles artificial gravity kicked in, canceling out their acceleration and returning the passengers to a comfortable state.
"Preparing to shock out." The pilot said, flipping more switches as the stars outside grew slightly larger and began to elongate. "Shocking in 3. 2. 1." Suddenly, the stars became streaks, their light melding together to form a sort of blue tunnel. The blast doors closed over the front windows, and the pilot looked back once more. "Alright, we have reached our cruising altitude of 200,000 miles. The seatbelt light is off and you are free to move about the cabin. ETA to the ESV Solaris; 10 minutes." The pilot again laughed at his own lame jokes before turning his attention back to monitoring the ships systems.

Releasing the securing clamps on her seat and climbing out, Ruby flapped her wings a couple times and lifted herself into the air of the ship. Navigating just a little bit up and to the side, she managed to maneuver her way into one of the overhead cargo racks and laid down with her eyes shut, secluded from the others by a small amount of space.
It's not that she didn't want to be around the others. After all, the unicorn mare seemed nice enough. She couldn't say much for the unicorn stallion who had joined last, as he hadn't really done much, so she couldn't form a solid conclusion on him. But the griffin irked her slightly. He stuck out to her as the type who took his job too seriously with a major stick up his butt.

Getting out of his seat, Vaan walked to his bag and reached in. It only took him a second to find the items he was looking for. First, his food container.He unlatched both locks before lifting the lead and grabbing a bag of peeled, roasted sunflower seeds from inside. Smiling slightly to himself, he threw a couple into his mouth before grabbing the second item; his talon filer/sharpener. Once he had both items, he went back to his seat and began to work on his talons as he waited for them to reach their destination.

Orange got up from her seat shortly after the ship slowed down, she never enjoyed authority figures so she stayed away from the security personnel. She lost track of where the other pony had went to and instead shrugged her shoulders and got up. She decided to double check her gear for any defects that might hinder her future performance. After she finished inspecting the quality of her gear she let out a sighed and returned to her seat to relax for a bit longer, quickly fidgeting getting an uneasy feeling about something. She cast those feelings aside due to her nervousness, she hadn't worked with this crew before and she didn't like meeting new ponies. Instead she decided to swear off talking to them and keep to herself.
