The Hellbound, a massive A-Class frigate that no child goes to bed without hearing of. Ever since the Arc was created and extraplanar travel became a reality, Hellbound has existed. This specialized ship was comissioned by the leaders of several well-known and influential planets. An unimaginable amount of money and resources was alotted to the project to increase the hull fortitude, oxygen capacity and the maximization of storage space in relation to functions and weaponry. The ship was not built for battle, however...it was built for transportation, ironically, to the prison-class planets of the Hellion system.

One hundred of the most dangerous, depraved and cunning criminals from across the galaxies are packaged onto the Hellbound and immersed in the tightest security any world has ever known composed of nine-hundred armed guards and another one-hundred non-combat personnel. After being stripped of any posessions, thoroughly probed and admitted new attire on the ship proper are the 'passengers' allowed admittance to Hellbound, and that's just the guards and maintenence personnel. War criminals, drug lords, serial killers and many more crimes on a whole other level of insanity are locked into coffin-sized cells and put into cryogenic sleep while those working on the dreary Hellbound are confined to either their rooms--which are little more than glorified cells--their posts, or the mess hall in which each non-guard worker is alotted fifteen minutes a day and each guard thirty.

Surrounded by twenty-six layers of compressed carbon fibers and steel, several hundred automated sentries and nearly a thousand other lifeforms, a large portion of which are unfriendly, is a normal day on the Hellbound. Are you being fitted into your 'cell', looking through the tiny finerglass window as your body is flash-frozen? Or maybe you are a guard, looking in from the other side and smirking knowing that another piece of filth is going to a...better place?

Sadly, in all likelyhood, you will not survive the trip. As with almost every catastrophe in history, something about this particular voyage deviated from the norm. Against all odds and contingencies, one of the prisoners has escaped. Not only that, but this individual won't be content until every last sentient being on the Hellbound is a gorey pile of flesh-ribbons.

Ok, so this is a futuristic deep-space type roleplay. I'll be straight with you when I say it was thrown together in about a half hour, but I do have high-hopes for it! Below are a few character skeletons. They are by no means mandatory but provide guidlines for those who are into that sort of thing. The rest can be filled out as much as you deem fit, although having a few sentences hurts your chances of being accepted. The 'race' tidbit must be followed though.

Race: This will be at the top of any character sheet submitted, providing a general overlook of the race's physical and psychological capabilities. Each race is allowed one passive ability(such as enhanced sense of smell) and one active ability(such as brief invisibility). I will make alterations to those that I deem too powerful for a racial ability. This is not because I'm picking on you, but balance is an issue I would like to get out of the way as soon as possible.
