This also takes place after the events of Below Zero, so minor spoilers for the game
"So did you hear the latest news? Alterra's on sector zero running some experiments again. Illegal too. Trying to manipulate the faunas into an army to capture the precursors. Or find the homeworld. You know."
"Yea, a big research group too. When will Alterra stop trying to you know, find us? Who knows what they could do with you guys. World war 5, increase global warming probably by accident, bad things."
"I fear we can't do this alone. I think we may have to use the prototypes. They'll lead them to somewhere where we can safely explain our intentions without being found out by Alterra. And I know just the way to find some potential help."
Plot

hidden content
Your spaceship that was transporting you and your coworkers back to earth was mysteriously destroyed by a green lazer from a planet called 4546B. You heard stories about that planet, but now's not the time. You rush to the escape pods and escape the falling ship, descending down to the planet.
Landing was not the smoothest. You arrive at a snowy landscape alongside other survivors from the ship. Luckily for you guys a research group from Alterra was doing some stuff on the planet and were willing to give you shelter from the planet.
However the next day, you notice that you're wearing some sort of ancient jewelry that you cannot take off, no matter how hard you try. Suddenly the Alterra group is now hostile to you, asking you to hand yourselves over or be killed, believing that you have some sort of connections to precursors and you know where they are hiding. You escaped them by using your mysterious jewelry to transform into strange alien fish and swim off to the open arctic oceans.
So now you're stranded on an arctic alien planet with a cooperation after you. At least you managed to steal some tools from them to survive. The mysterious jewelry seem to be able to talk with you, and is asking you to head down deep into the ocean to meet someone who can explain all this.
Researcher
Another day of research and trying to find precursors. It's been around 4 years since you arrived at the planet to conduct this mission. Today while doing your research at Outpost zero, you noticed meteors- no, lifepods falling from the sky. After helping the survivors and offering them shelter, you went back to your daily routine and everything was fine- until tomorrow.
The next day you notice survivors trying to remove some unremovable piece of jewelry that looks like something precursors made. These survivors have been in contact with precursors! You immediately requested for them to hand themselves over or be killed, but the survivors escaped, stealing some tools in the process. You watched them transform into various species of fish on the planet and swim away.
Under the boss' orders, you and your fellow researchers are tasked with finding the survivors and enslave them to know the location of hiding precursors, so that Alterra can enslave the precursors and force them to make high tech weapons for a secret plan even you're not aware of.

Character name: Kilian "Ian" Allard
Age: 34
Gender: Male
Pronouns: He/him
Appearance: I'll add a written description when it doesn't pain my soul
Personality: Perhaps had things been a little different Kilian might have found himself in the position of one of those researchers. He enjoys learning just for the sake of exploration and the joy that comes with seeing one's personal growth, and for a while he had considered finding a career that would allow him to just mess around and discover. He decided not to in the end, mostly due to his own worries that by taking this path he would be restricted in certain ways. His mind is filled with random facts that may not always pertain to the conversation at hand. He's a little eccentric, and tends to hyper focus on any task placed in front of him, making him a hard worker by nature. Of course he's just as easily distracted by anything his brain determines to be more interesting at the moment.
Flaws: Diatracted, high-maintenance, a slight coward, impulsive
Survivor or Researcher: Survivor
Tools: Scanner, Lazer-cutter
Fauna jewel: Crabsquid
Palpad?: Ye
Password: *throws plastic into the ocean* Where's my quarts you salty villain!
Other:
I'll make the other survivor and some researchers later but I've been overcome with the intense urge to draw and I must do as the brain demands-
