Commander's Log
Lt North; Earth 671; Report
The teleportation process went wrong. Equipment malfunction landed us in Layer 671, planet Earth, year 2015.671, population human, technology level 9.
We separated upon crashing. My tracker registers 11 other survivors in the sensor's range. I am located at 25.6166273, -14.6835923, along with four prisoners who are so far appearing unconscious but not fatally injured. I don't know where or in which condition the other survivors are.
The scans are damaged, but are showing a small town in relatively close proximity, surrounded by dry land on one side and ocean on the other. Without initiating contact with the locals, that is all the information I have at my disposal.
As per Protocol 7, I will do all in my power to reassemble the survivors and regain contact with the Facility. This is Hour One.
______________________________
Earth that we know is just one of many.
Layer upon layer, parallel dimensions coexist, in most cases sharing little to no contact. But some are different. Within a small number of layers, the technology has developed to the point where it allows for travelling -- Layer 4 is one of those.
What is Layer 4?
One of the parallel dimensions with technology far more developed than that of [our] Earth, it's inhabited by a species not very different from humans. They share most genetic characteristics, but evolution and technological development have allowed for its inhabitants to alter their DNA and gain certain abilities, as well as to enhance and alter their bodies with the help of augmentations. The latest trend introduced to Earth 4 are the commonly called NanoKisses (NKs) -- nanobots inserted in the bloodstream that enhance the host's traits and allow for them to be transferred or otherwise used through kissing. These abilities range from affecting the physical -- eg. healing or strength -- to temporarily affecting the emotions or minds of the people kissed.
What are Facility 309 and Ward 132?
Facility 309 is sometimes also referred to as the Prison Terminal; it's a facility in Sector 4 where criminals -- people who in some way misuse their abilities or alter their DNA past the legal point -- are brought to justice and dispatched to the contextually correct prison facilities. Ward 132 is the prison awaiting the criminals who overstepped the boundaries of the use of NKs.
In this particular mission, 30 prisoners were being transported under the supervision of 10 trained guards, lead by Lt. Devin North (played by Aria). After the teleportation process was unexpectedly interrupted, they've "crashed" on an alternate version of today's Earth. Out of 40, only 12 of them survived -- 7 prisoners and 5 guards -- and at the beginning of this SB, they are randomly separated into three groups in three different areas.
It's mostly up to you what happens to them and how quickly they interact with humans or each other -- but if their base receives no word from the guards in 72 hours, the device in their bracelets (which are worn by all the citizens of Layer 4, guards and criminals alike, and are constructed to kill the wearer if they attempt to take them off) will activate a destruction sequence and eliminate all traces of Layer 4 DNA.
A couple more things you might like to know
Earth 671 is technologically on the same level as the Earth we know, and humans living there have no knowledge of other species or the layers. The area our characters are currently located in is in the place corresponding to this Earth's West Sahara. On Earth 671, it is a small independent country being torn apart by civil wars, with a number of little towns and prison camps scattered around and nomadic caravans travelling through the desert.
Slots
There is three different types of characters you can choose from -- guards, prisoners and humans. The former two come from Layer 4, and the latter are natives to Earth 671.
The SB will start in three different areas -- in the city, next to a prison camp in the city's outskirts, and in the desert relatively close to them. Both the humans and the others should initially be divided between these three locations. As the SB goes on, all of our characters are expected to move around and interact.
Humans
You can choose to be whoever you like, but try to stay realistic. Also, diversity is good. There is altogether six human slots, so keep that in mind when requesting characters. Slots will not be added - first come, first serve.
-- The city - maximum of 3 humans
-- The prison camp - maximum of 3 humans
-- The desert - maximum of 2 humans (they'd be members of a caravan)

List of abilities
Any characters submitted with an ability not on this list will not be accepted. This ability means both that your character will have it and that they will be able to affect other people by kissing them (only by kissing them) accordingly.

Occupied Slots:
We will start before all the slots are filled, but people are free to join later; try to fill out an equal number of guards, humans and prisoners slots before we start, please.
