As for the aliens, picture the xenomorphs from Alien, but their blood/spit isn't acidic. Their hide is very tough, and their claws are very dangerous. They don't seem to have a sense of smell, but they have very good hearing and decent vision. They have basic intelligence and brought wolf sized creatures to sniff out humans (see images below). The aliens work out of their landed/crashed ships.



It has been several months since the first ship landed. The world has been mostly wiped clear of humans, but the natural world is still alive and thriving. The plants and animals are beginning to take over once populated areas. Food is plentiful. Both hunting the wildlife and scavenging for nonperishable foods are profitable. Before the radios went silent, people were trying to figure out why they were here and what they were trying to do. Most said they came to take the planet for themselves. Some said they were using us for food. A couple even said they were going to perform tests on us. No one has figured out exactly why yet. All we know is that they kill us when they find us. Wild animals don't seem to like them either, but most animals steer clear of them anyway.

Humans often gather in small roaming bands, or in slightly larger well defended settlements, though those are few and far between. Most ammunition has been spent, and pretty much all electronics don't work. The aliens used a pulse that killed electronics as they landed (see ships below for general idea of what they look like).


Weeks after the radios went silent, humans started showing signs of special abilities, and some began to harness their abilities. The abilities were unique to the individual, no two were exactly the same. The individuals often found special ways to utilize their abilities that gave them more diversity, and even a way to fight back, and if nothing else, help them and perhaps others to survive.

Name: Sepiolida (Lida/Sepio)

Age: 25

Gender: Usually female

Appearance: She stands only about 5'3'', her dirty jeans have rips in both knees and her shirt is a tan-brown color, though from dirt or from dye you can't be sure. A knife hangs from a jury-rigged sheath she tied to her thigh. Her dark grey zipper sweatshirt is always open since the zipper has long since broken. She has a pair of light brown combat boots, and over her shoulders is a backpack that has been patched a few times. It looks a bit weighed down, likely with supplies. All of her apparel seems to have fresh and wet stains of what looks to be varying shades of blue. Her skin color isn't very visible due to a fair amount of dust and grime. Her eye color is almost an electric blue. Her black hair is a short pixie style, though it looks haphazardly cut as if she did it herself.

Magic style: Shapeshifting. (Usually taking on multiple aspects of animals/materials, but if focused enough can turn fully into one animal at a time.)

History (completely optional): If you ask she might tell you.

Evangeline carefully patrolled her land, using her power to explore with her plants first. Then Ev sent her animal companions, mostly quick flying birds, to scout for anything out of place. One of the wolves had reported the alien crafts down just ahead. None of those cruel, hateful creatures would escape her. Not when they were planning to steal her planets resources. Creeping forward in a tree, she studied the foreign craft. She had been young when the aliens first attacked. She had lived among the trees and animals, as wild as any of them, in the following years since that first attack. When her powers manifest? She worked long and hard to master them.

This ship was different than the others. It looked older and bore terrible burn marks along the sides. There were alien corpses laid around it. Most were burned and crispy, others were in varying states of decay. The place smelled sickly sweet, though no flies buzzed around the bodies. From a large crack in the side of the ship, trotted out a beautiful black horse with empty-looking saddlebags slung over its back, no saddle, no bridle, no rider. Upon spotting the group of animals led by a woman, the horse stopped in its tracks and stared at the leader of the strange group with a deep huff.

Curious, Eve jumped down from the tree, her skirt swishing around her. "Hey there, beauty," she cooed softly, offering her hand to the animal. She figured she could communicate with this horse like the other animals around her. Though, why there was a horse here, among an alien ship wreck, she had no idea. "What are you doing out here? Did they take you?" The young woman asked, keeping her voice low and calm.

The horse snorted and dug at the ground a little as it took a step back with another snort. It reared up and balanced on its hind legs for a few moments as its whole body rapidly shrank down into a human form, the saddlebags sliding to the ground. "Thanks for the compliment," The woman, Sepiolida, chuckled. Her hands were held out to her sides showing their emptiness and implied lack of threat.

Startled, Eve narrowed her eyes but did not yield any ground. "A shapeshifter?" She asked, staying where she was and going no further. She had little contact with humans the last few years and what little she had had was not good. Most took from her stores or attacked her animals cruelly.

Lida kept her hands open, and her smile fell a little as she saw the hesitation in the other woman. "That I am, and you can at least talk to animals. Would you like to come inside to talk? Otherwise, I'd rather not have to fight... I'm a little tired after that full change..." Her small stature was lean, but far from weak looking.

"I don't fight unless forced. I don't believe you mean to hurt my land or my charges," Eve said, gesturing around them. "What's your name?" She asked, stepping forward. She made sure to discreetly position plants so she could tear the haul of the ship open if needed and pull herself out.

Lida's smile returned and her hands fell to her sides. "I only hurt those who intend to hurt others. Sepiolida. You can call me Lida, Sepi, Sepio, Sep, or whatever combination you so choose." She turned and scooped up the saddlebags in one hand as she stepped into the darkness of the ship. "Watch your head here and there, I've mostly moved the wires out of the way so I don't get clotheslined, but some are a little stubborn." The inside of the ship was lit by shards of mirrors reflecting light into a concave dish of what looked like tin-foil. The strange metal arched high above their heads, and inside the chambers were some pieces of furniture, nothing a matching set. She walked over and set herself down in a beanbag next to a what looked like a plastic child's play table where a few other chairs sat.

Eve looked around the place, awed despite her concerns. It was fascinating. Not what she would have picked to live in but it was ingenious. Using one of their own ships to suit her purpose. The only concern would be other aliens coming to take parts of of this ship. But if they came, picking them off would be easy. "How long have you lived here?" She asked, curious and awed. "You've escaped my radar. I am impressed."

"I've lived here for, uh..." Lida tilted her head back a little, having to think about it for a couple moments before returning her gaze back to her guest. "A couple days after this one crashed. Not really sure how long exactly, I don't find a use for keeping track of the days anymore." She nodded her head over in the direction of the door. "Your friends can come in if they'd like. The animal smell helps cover human scent, and the smell of the alien around here covers anything else pretty much." She sat forward in the bean bag, her smile more of a grin. "May I ask how you evaded the sniffers for so long? You smell pretty human..." Under the light and closer inspection, Lida's clothes were splattered in light and dark blue patches, alien blood.

Evangeline sniffed at her shirt, frowning. "I took a bath this morning. And Brutis came to tell me of this craft he found. I didn't get to ramp with my pack yet. Nor roll around in some of my pants and mud. Growing very strong flowers certainly helps mask scents." She settled in, letting her pack know that it was safe to come in. Her second in command, a giant black panther, scouted to make sure everything was alright.

"People tend to sweat at least a little, and that little bit is the problem. I personally use alien blood. I have access to plenty, it clings to clothes very well, and the smell lingers." Lida's eyes were glued to the big cat as soon as it entered the doorway, but she soon returned her focus and attention to her guest. "If you wouldn't mind, would you be willing to do an exchange? I have a decent collection of books... I would really like to get a closer look at some of your friends. I have to know what I'm changing into, and books are great, but the information is limited..."

The panther settled down at Eve's feet, ready to protect if need be. "It certainly lingers. But that is part of why I can't stand it. It feels so...foreign. I'm picky. An exchange? Exchange of what? Knowledge? I don't really use books. I was too little to really know much when they came to earth," Eve said, sinking a hand into the thick short hair of her pack mate. "I may be alpha but they aren't slaves. They would have to consent."

The smile that had perched on Lida's features fell instantly at the word 'slaves,' and she sat straight up with a shake of her head. "I didn't mean for that to come across that way, I never thought that they were your slaves, more of a family. Of course it would be up to them, but if you could put in a good word for me," She chuckled. "I would appreciate it." She reached up with a hand and scratched at her shoulder. "Perhaps instead of knowledge I could offer you some of my resources? I don't have too much, but what I can offer is food, water, and shelter... You actually stayed off of my radar as well, so I don't know if your place is better than what I've got, but a trade means something from both sides."

Eve smiled softly, happy with how the other women had responded. "You are unlike any humans I have ever met. Better. You have been honest and straightforward with me," she said, surprised. "I'm not sure I can ask anything of you. They can hear you just fine so I would only really be a translator for them. If you wish to trade with them, I doubt they would say no."

"Most humans nowadays are very selfish and it's rare to find any human who isn't out for just their own gain. We're humans, we're pack animals. Whether or not we like it, we do better together." Lida gave a soft chuckle. "I try to be kind. My parents raised me to treat others how I would like to be treated. Anyways, I digress. I had asked about your living situation. Whether you move in with me or simply visit here and there, my home is open to you and your friends." Lida glanced down at the large cat every now and then as she spoke, so as to speak to the both of them.

Eve nodded, agreeing with what the other woman had to say. "Thank you. I try to be kind to people. Or at least not cruel. I'm not sure if my place is better or worse. It is different. More suited to animals and a pack then humans," Eve explained. She didn't exactly see herself as a human. But she definitely liked this human. She was respectful to nature and her pack. "You...are welcome to come visit it though, if you wish."
