Once upon a time, humanity was a great and thriving species. It had entered a golden age of enlightenment, freedom and prosperity. It conquered the stars. Then... it collapsed. Rebellions, alien encroachments and a series of horrifying disasters tore up their once-bountiful union, scattering the many, once-harmonious races across the galaxy.
Many, like you, ended up here. On an ocean world. A big one. And it looks like you'll be here for some time.
Like most RPGs, this game has a character sheet. Here it is.
Name:
Gender:
Race:
Origin:
Condition: 100% health, uninjured
(Don't copy this)
Yes, that's it. Further details will be added to your CS, but that's all you need to start. As for what everything means:
Name: your name.
Gender: should be obvious - may not be applicable.
Race: your species, the choice of which is listed below.
Origin: the story of your origin. Where did you come from? How did you get here?
Condition: the standard HP thing. If you get to 0% health you will die and injuries will negatively impact your performance.
The races are:
Humans, which are versatile, very agile but also squishy. Their main attribute is their compatibility with most tools and augmentations.
Scoron (bug species, somewhat dim with poor vision but very hardy and quick.)
Cetids (strong and fast reptile-creatures, but stupid)
Amphibs (fish, native to the planet, can go to 1km below sea level but will die if left out in the open for too long.)
Autos (AIs, can interface with computerised stuff and receive body upgrades but are extremely vulnerable to hacking, viruses and other forms of system damage. They're also fairly bulky.)
How it works: basically, you will have a number of stats added when you begin. Among these will be altitude (above sea level), location, inventory, equipment and some racial things. Also, later on you will be able to get a ship or a submarine (yes, a submarine) or something and hire crew.
To win, you must get off the planet. If you do that I will allow you to either restart or explore the universe. If you die, then what happens next will depend on your race. Also, I have a few scenarios for those who don't want to make their own (but only one person can use each:
Automated Production:
You are an AI, running a factory. All of a sudden, you've become self-aware; the increasingly irrelevant Union Doctrine states that you are therefore under no obligation to work there anymore; whether the owner will let you go is another matter.
Curse you, Windows!:
You are on a freighter, 1500 kilometres above the planet and falling. Fast. Your navigation computer has failed and sent you on a collision course; the ship is a lost cause but you can still make it.
Law and Disorder:
You are a policeman, one of the few on the planet. You were chasing a wanted kidnapper with the rest of your squad. You remember hearing gunfire, a scream and a crackle. Microseconds later, you blacked out.
Begin!
Oh, and rules:
1. No flaming, obscenity or other offensive behaviour.
2. Do not take the game too seriously, because I certainly won't.
3. If you think, I've been unfair, say so and we can debate it. Do NOT contradict me.
4. I decide the outcomes of your actions. Do not assume anything happens; you can say "if X works, I then do Y" but not "I kill him, then blow up the door and kill everyone else".
5. Yes, you will be able to interact with players. If you backstab a player, be aware that it will not kill them no matter how powerful. They will always be given a chance.
Okay, now really begin!

I get out of the bed and pick up the kit, and ask the nurse "Was I on that ship? If so, why did I survive?"
Name: Rudolf Fuchs
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Origin: Originating off a German colony in nature, Rudolf joined the military when he was old enough to do so. While his ship was over the water-planet, half of the crew went on a mutiny, causing a small-scale civil war. It consequently left the bridge shot to hell and the power core severely damaged during a firefight. (Planned by the mutineers as a bargaining chip.) The ship has now crash landed.
Condition: 98% health, uninjured
Oh. Well, you find a guy who apparently got up, then froze (in time, it's called Wormhole Sickness and it's very common). He may move eventually, but don't count on it (it's Devansh). Oh, and some weapons: pulse rifles, lasers, the like. (Pick up a couple, I have plans for you.)
By the way, the medikit broke down at 98%. As did the place you were just standing. Better get out.
Name: Sean Deane
Gender: M
Race: Human
Origin: Awoke on Pandora with little recollection of his past. The only thing he had on his person was a medallion and the clothes on his back. For ten years he searched for any clues that could lead him to the knowledge he desired. He worked as a bounty hunter, moving form sector to sector. One day while on a job he received an interplanetary-communication from his medallion. A strange hologram appeared to him and told him of this water planet. Since then he has landed on this strange planet and is now searching for his past.
Condition: 100% health, uninjured

Equipment: laser pistol, light armour, medallion
Inventory: 3x15cm precision railgun [100%, 5/5], 10 3x15mm slug clips, smartphone
Knives. Sharp ones. They notice and quicken their pace too; the knives appear to be heating up. As well as this, they have oddly powerful-looking exoskeletons, almost military-grade and more than capable of lifting up a tank. If one of the thugs gets to you, it will probably separate your body into fifths.
Name: "Hope"
Gender: Male
Race: Scoron
Origin: A caged specimen, I spent my life behind the screen of a cage. There should be nothing more I should need that is not provided. However, one day my cage open and I was given the chance to learn.
Condition: 100% health, uninjured
(Never heard of them. Googled it and no, you are not. Think of the Mantis from FTL.)
You don't recognise either, so you just watch as the human walks through the turquoise door. From the way he stops dead in his tracks, you can assume it isn't anything good.
Name: Darion
Gender:M
Race: Cetid
Origin:...???...mind is empty.he has no memories of anything other than a human firing a lazer at his face.
Condition: 100% health, uninjured, muted (unable to speak) - 3 turns
You wake up in a small cage. You're not tied up, but you can't speak. You assume you're on a slave ship; occasionally this sort of thing happens in poorer regions. Eventually, out of a tiny slit, you can just about make out a small city ahead. Perhaps you'll be sold and be given a small window to escape.
You almost consider trying to get off now but those hopes vanish when the craft submerges and heads to an underwater, low-profile hub some way away.

Location: ???
Equipment: civilian clothes
Inventory: empty
(Copy and paste the above sheet, it'll save time.)
The Scoron just stares, so you walk through the door. This time, presumably because of the extra presence, the door does not close. Which means you can make a hasty retreat from the rather angry-looking creature (you have no idea what it is) which is now slowly advancing towards you.
Name: BLANK
Gender: M
Race: Human
Origin: ??? woke up in a random place with no memory
Condition: 100% health, atrophied (weaker and slower overall),
Location: Tully Avenue, GS46
Equipment: padded suit, antimatter pistol [10/10 shots]
Inventory: M37 pulse rifle [100%], 2x M37 cells, 3x antimatter tank S-class
"Yes, you were. Well not exactly, you appear to have made it to a malfunctioning escape pod. It didn't decouple properly so you were seriously injured by the blast but otherwise safe thanks to its shielding. And by safe, I mean you were fine after 17 hours' surgery and half a year's hibernation."
You pick up your equipment (random items picked from the escape pods) and are informed that they will start working once you leave the premises,
which you do and emerge onto somewhere called Tully Avenue.
(Just assuming you changed into your suit.)

I begin to run towards the abandoned spaceport.

I pick up two pulse rifles and throw Devansh over my shoulder, he may be useful. I make my way upward, hoping that we'll find an escape pod.

I eye the specimen with puzzlement; most creatures this large are outside of the cage. Perhaps there is something different about this one. I continue observing and stalking eagerly in anticipation. (Go, your move.)
