In Character Knowledge

This page will detail what information or knowledge roles are expected to know, or not know, at round start.

Marines

• All Marines and personal on board the Sulaco know nothing about the Alien infestation, or even what Aliens are. All they know is that they received a distress signal from the planet and that they may be encountering a hostile force.

• Survivors are allowed to know a limited amount of information about the Aliens, such as how facehuggers work and lower level Aliens.

• There are no restrictions in knowing how to operate any firearm, however non-marine personal cannot equip any weapon other than a pistol unless there is a confirmed threat of Aliens attacking the Sulaco or are about to do so.

• Combat Medics do not know how to preform surgery, only Medical Doctors of the Chief Medical Officer know how to preform surgery.

• In general avoid preforming tasks your round start role would not know how to do, such as a Squad Leader hacking a door or a Cargo Technician operating a overwatch console.

• Command (CO, XO, Bridge Officer) and Medical staff (MD, CMO) on board the Sulaco cannot leave the Sulaco UNLESS it is to go to a established Forward Operating Base or they are abandoning ship.

• Military Police can not leave the Sulaco unless they are doing so to track down a rogue Marine who is not on the Sulaco.

Aliens

• Do not harm or kill Marines unless explicit permission is given by the Queen. Ravagers are the exception as they can kill UNINFECTED hosts freely unless the Queen states otherwise.

• If there is no Queen Aliens are free to use lethal force on any prey.

• You do not know that Marines are coming to the planet. Furthermore you cannot prepare defences on or around the Dropship landing zones prior the Marines arrival.
