Xenomorph RP guidelines.

Post by Void00 » 18 Oct 2014, 12:54

Xenomorph Roleplay Guidelines

While this may be seen as a little silly and unnecessary , Trust me , it isn't.

Drone behavior :

Do note that is a alien (film) fan writing this.

These aliens are the less aggressive of the caste.
They act as the main working force of the hive , and as such , they are rarely seen outside of it.
Drones , when forced to fight , prefer to use more stealth and tactics , rather than the aggression of the other castes.
Drones will defend the hive , only when the main force of Warriors and Sentinels have fallen.

As such , those are some guidelines :
  • As a drone , do not go patroling the station in search of prey. thats the Warriors job.
  • As a drone , do not charge any enemy you see head-on. where possible , use stealth , and deception , to capture your prey.
  • You are not superior to other castes. De facto , you are the lower caste in the hive.
  • Your duty is to build , help the queen hatch eggs , and tend to the larvas. Nothing else. If there is no hive work to be done, you would normally just assist the queen in general or if there was a lack of other castes, you would be the ones hunting for prey but this rarely happens.
  • Drones have a far superior inteligence than warriors and sentinels , as such , using the "whisper" verb and acting like a inteligent creature is reccomended.
  • You are free to walk around the station -to smash lights- or to recover prey that was already captured by warriors.

Warrior behavior :

The warrior is the main battle-force of the hive.
As such , he is the first one to charge and capture -any- prey.

Warriors will often work in groups to ambush and overwhelm prey, though they are perfectly deadly even on their own.

Here are some guidelines for the warrior :
  • You are powerful, but don't get cocky. Use your agility AND strength to your advantage.
  • Warriors are the less intelligent caste in the hive (no offense , oh dear.) , act as such.
  • Warriors tend to hunt in small groups or solitary, they can mass in larger groups, also with other heavier castes (Ravager for example) to overwhelm a heavy enemy force if necessary.
  • Warriors are to patrol and search the outskirts of the station , in search of any form of prey.
  • Warriors tackle and charge\pounce any prey. being it a armored marine , or a harmless monkey.
  • Warriors should retire immediately to the hive , if the queen is under attack.
  • Warriors are -not- to camp the hive for the whole round. That is the sentinels job.
  • You are to answer all xenos from a superior caste.
  • The queen can decide to give a warrior the role of "Xeno Commander". Yes , this is lore-friendly.
Sentinel behavior :

This is kind of an odd one , since there is no such things as sentinels , lore-wise.

The sentinel is the protector of the hive. His role is simple , protect the hive , and the drones.

As such , those are the basic guidelines , to play as one :
  • Youre a Sentinel , as your name tell you. As such , you are not to wander the hallways scrambling for survivors\Marines. Neither to go monkey hunting.
  • You are not the queen personal guard. But you are the drones and hive guard , as such , your better placement would be in the most-external outskirts of the station , protecting the drones while they work.
  • The Sentinel Attack pattern is very similar to the one of the drone , stealthy and tactics. Due to their spit a sentinel should prefer to attack targets at range , and drag them back to the hive.
  • The Sentinel Is not a Hunter\Warrior. As such , he shount run behind a prey that is fleeing whitout being infected.
  • On that note , is the sentinels job to make sure that nested prey dont escape in any form or way.
  • Due to your high plasma reserve , and good resistance , you can act as a simil-field medic , and heal downed aliens. REMEMBER TO DRAG THEM BACK TO THE HIVE.
  • Dont let your role as a guard get over your head. Aliens have no grades , and unless you want to be bitten to death , do not start giving orders around.
  • Sentinels answer to the Xenomorph Commander.
  • Do not run around smashing lights and windows. Thats the drones job. Protect the drones doing so.
  • You arent a drone. Dont help the queen hatching eggs. please.
  • You are one of the few aliens that can "camp" the hive for the whole round , use that advantage to evolve as fast as you can.
  • When the queen is under attack , you and the warriors must rush to her aid. whatever you are doing.

Larvae behaviour

Oddly enough , we need this too.

The larvae is the second stage of life in the xenomorph lifecycle.
Small , and weak , they tend to hide at first impression of danger.

When confronted , larva's use their teeth's to take down the hostiles legs.

As such , those are some Larvae guidelines
  • The larvae is small and weak. Run away from everything big and dangerous. Being it another alien , or a humanoid.
  • The Larva loves to hide. As such , the Hide button is your best friend , RP and Gameplay wise.
  • Larva's tent to stay near their mother at all times , untill grown
  • A larva will never attempt to charge an enemy. While proving no fear or any other emotion , like all aliens , their instict of self-preservation instruct them to hide in the hive.
  • Larvas are the only aliens that have permission to act in childish ways (Remember Xenomorph rule 1.) due to their nature.
  • A Larva grown in lab might end up being semi-friendly whit humanoids , due to being grown in captivity and away from the hivemind. The minus , is that they will most probably never evolve . (Ahelp , if you are gonna RP this. Also , as a reminder , your host needs to be captured to RP a similar scenario .)

I will continue adding the advanced caste evolution's later on. now I'm out of energy to keep typing in readable English.

Very inconsistent here Void. Also the fact that you just put warriors as mindless cannonfodder-type assault infantry .. Gonna change it if ye don't eventually


EDIT: Just changed it now .. Looks better.

MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM, THE RUNNER STOLE MY HUGGERS! MAKE HER GIVE THEM BACK!
Read that and just sat there laughing for the rest of the round.
Was also pleased that someone else in the world comes from a culture that uses Mum instead of Mom.
