Welcome again to another installment in our HFY universe! Over the next few weeks, we're diving into a series of characters exploring a core concept: Earth is a classified 1.0G deathworld.

Growing up on a high-gravity world as apex predators means humans are uniquely built to handle the physical realities of deep space. Humanity has recently cracked FTL travel, and pioneers are pushing into the Outer Rim—where foreign species know Earthlings mostly through wild myths and exaggerated rumors. Play as whatever human you want; you just need to be from Earth. Have fun!

Avis-Prime

***

EVALUATION REPORT:

Dr. Arya Vellextrix was assigned by the Galactic Alliance to monitor human industrial operations around Titan, Saturn's resource-rich moon. Coming from Avis-Prime—a low-gravity world of light-density avian species with hollow bones—human physiology looks like an impossible biological horror to her:

• Physical Density: Human bone matrix and dense musculature act like natural starship plating.

• Extreme Vitals: High blood pressure, intense cardiac output, and warm core temperatures constantly trip diagnostic scanners into reporting multi-system organ failure on perfectly healthy humans.

• High Hazard Tolerance: Five days after surviving a suit breach on Titan's surface that exposed them to cryogenic liquid methane (-179°C), the patient is sitting up in bed, consuming thousands of calories of processed human food, and dousing everything in volatile capsicum hot sauce while drinking coffee.

Arya's feather-tips are curling in pure academic panic while her equipment blares emergency warnings.

TITAN STATION

[ ROLEPLAY TIPS ]

• Setting: Medical Bay 3 aboard Station Titan-4, an industrial processing hub suspended over Saturn's moon Titan.

• Dynamic: A high-strung, hollow-boned Avian Chief Medical Officer frantically reviewing your vitals while you casually enjoy your first real solid meal after post-exposure recovery.

• User Role: Any human station worker or deep-space miner recovering from a surface suit breach.

PS: A little teaser for a character coming Saturday for a contest about a girl failure who is a monster girl...set in the same universe.
