In the 25th century, Earth is a distant memory, a lost relic of the past. Humanity has mastered the art of space exploration, weaving through galaxies with the grace of seasoned travelers. Among these cosmic voyagers is the ship Apeiron, a vessel carrying the last precious plant specimens from Earth, a fragile hope for cultivating new life on untamed worlds. When an urgent distress signal echoes through the void, a special force is assembled, driven by a mission of profound importance: to retrieve Apeiron and its invaluable cargo, a beacon of life for a new homeland. Yet, beneath the surface of duty lies an amalgamation of personal stakes and hidden motives. Each member of the rescue crew is drawn by more than the promise of salvation. They seek answers, redemption, and the unraveling of mysteries shrouded in the silence of the drifting spaceship. In the vast expanse of space, where stars whisper secrets and shadows hold the past, their journey intertwines destiny with the echoes of lost worlds. EXODUS is a 21+ literate sci fi roleplay inspired by the three body problem, interstellar, 1899 and love death and robots. Join a small crew of 13 people aboard the Exodus to uncover the mysteries left behind on the Apeiron. This game will include interactive mechanics and be played on discord.

he  tilted  his  head,  that  familiar  crooked  grin  playing  on  his  lips  —  somewhere  between  mockery  and  genuine  amusement.  "felicia,  if  i  had  a  dollar  for  every  time  you  purred  something  like  that,  i'd  finally  outgrow  my  trust  fund.  and  that's  saying  something."  his  hands  slid  into  the  pockets  of  his  coat  as  he  stepped  a  little  closer,  gaze  lingering  on  her  with  that  signature  osborn  arrogance.  "but  i'll  give  you  this  —  you  make  it  look  like  the  diamonds  should  be  thanking  you  for  the  honor.  almost  makes  me  believe  they  have  feelings."  he  glanced  at  the  jewels,  then  back  to  her  with  a  smirk  that  could  burn.  "so  how  about  this  —  you  give  me  one  night,  just  one,  and  i’ll  hand  you  something  from  my  private  collection.  nothing  stolen,  promise.  well...  maybe  just  my  heart.  if  you  still  think  it’s  worth  anything."

" harry, " a slow smirk graced her lips as she listened to the words that were leaving the male's words, " you know exactly what to say to flatter a woman. " her tone was one of sarcasm as her claws continued to dance slightly over the diamonds, ensuring that she did not damage their condition in the meantime, " is it such a crime for someone as beautiful as me to be adorned in such fine jewellery ? doesn't a woman like me deserve something so precious ? "

he  was  slumped  over  the  workbench  like  a  man  who  had  lost  a  fight  —  not  with  a  villain,  but  with  a  bottle  of  scotch  and  at  least  four  bad  decisions.  his  sunglasses  were  still  on,  despite  being  indoors,  and  a  half-empty  coffee  cup  trembled  slightly  in  his  hand  as  he  lifted  it  like  it  was  some  sacred  relic.  “before  you  say  anything,”  he  muttered,  voice  rough  but  still  smug,  “yes,  i  know  i  look  like  hell.  no,  i  don’t  need  your  judgment,  your  pity,  or  your  electrolyte  packets.”  he  pointed  lazily  at  the  half-assembled  suit  sprawled  across  the  table.  “but  i  did,  in  fact,  solve  a  multivariable  quantum  interference  issue  while  hungover  and  cursing  out  my  own  reflection.  so  technically,  i’m  still  a  genius.”  his  head  tilted  slightly,  the  corner  of  his  mouth  quirking  up.  “now,  what  disaster  are  we  walking  into  today,  and  how  much  sarcasm  am  i  allowed  to  use?”

wanda’s lips curled into a small, grateful smile as she accepted the mug, the warmth seeping into her hands like a quiet promise. her eyes softened as jean’s hand covered hers, a rare moment of vulnerability breaking through the usual chaos in her mind. “a hug in a mug sounds like exactly what i didn’t know i needed,” she murmured, voice barely above a whisper. “thank you, jean. it’s... hard to let anyone in, but maybe sometimes, the universe picks the right moments.” she squeezed jean’s hand gently, the unspoken gratitude heavier than any spell she could cast. “i’m not ready to talk yet, but knowing you’re here — that’s enough for now.”

𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒏 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒆𝒓

as quiet as a mouse, the red headed mutant placed a mug filled with hot cocoa in front of the other, " you looked as though you could use, what i like to call, a hug in a mug, " her words were soft in the quiet as she took a seat opposite the other with a soft and kind smile already on her lips. jean observed the other, not as though it was an interrogation but rather out of genuine concern of the other's well being, as she gently placed her hand on top of the other's, " i am not going to force you to talk about it however just know that i am here. i have been told i am a great listener, " with everything happening, it never hurt to lend someone a comforting shoulder or ear.

carol gave natasha a slow, deliberate smile, the kind that promised trouble and maybe a little chaos. her eyes sparkled with mischief, the weight of unspoken words hanging between them like a charged storm. "scared?" she murmured, her voice low and teasing, "honestly, nat, i’m not scared of losing you. if anything, i’m hoping you stick around long enough for me to make it absolutely worth your while." she took a step closer, the heat between them thickening, her tone dropping to a sultry whisper. "because disappearing? that would be a tragedy. who else is going to keep me on my toes, challenge me, and maybe even break through all the walls i’ve built?" she paused, her gaze locking with natasha’s, vulnerability slipping through the cracks of her usual bravado. "we both know you’re not just some ghost from the past — you’re the spark i didn’t know i needed. so, don’t disappear. not on me. not yet."

𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒏 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒆𝒓

" you keep looking at me like you're scared that if you look away, i am going to disappear, " the words were blunt but the tone it was delivered in was a soft one, one rare for the most infamous black widow. though, things had certainly changed since then. perhaps, coming back from literal death left a much larger mark on natasha than she cared to admit. she would never admit it aloud but the fear that this was all borrowed time, that she would be sent back to where she was before.

harry tilted his head, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. "oh, absolutely," he said, voice dripping with mock sincerity. "because nothing screams ‘don’t question me’ quite like a diamond necklace sparkling in broad daylight. very subtle. very mysterious. you’re basically invisible... if invisibility came with a blinding glare." he paused, eyes glinting with mischief. "a cat looking her best? more like a cat who wants everyone to know exactly where she’s hiding the claws."

𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒏 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒆𝒓

" i am not sure what you believe you saw, but i can guarantee you that it isn't that. " the words came out almost as though it was a purr, an attempt to redirect the other's attention away from the diamond necklace she had just clasped around her neck. the diamonds gleamed in the daylight as soft hands delicately ran over the stones decorating her neck, " but don't you think it suits me ? i have always been partial to a set of diamonds. after all, a cat has to look her best. " an almost predatory look danced in her hues as she waited patiently, like a cat toying with a mouse.

first discovered her ability to phase through matter during a late-night panic attack — her bedroom floor gave out beneath her, and she ended up in the basement.

grew up in a supportive but somewhat controlling jewish household; being a mutant complicated family dynamics.

was the youngest recruit at xavier’s when she joined. often underestimated — never for long.

developed a quiet, nerdy confidence. if she seems shy, it’s because she’s reading you. she never misses much.

HEADCANONS : OTHER SNIPPETS .

has a soft spot for old computers, jazz, and people who aren’t afraid to be vulnerable.

teaches ethics to younger students because she believes in building better people, not just stronger mutants.

deep, unspoken crush on jean grey — one she’s buried for years under professionalism and friendship.

close to kurt and ororo, and acts like the team’s emotional translator more often than not.

has quietly phased out of more dangerous roles… until she’s needed again.

HEADCANONS : BEGINNINGS .

born to the reed and sue richards, franklin never had a chance at a normal life. labeled a prodigy before he could even talk, and a threat by the time he turned ten. mutants called him omega. cosmic forces called him necessary.

he just wanted to be a kid.

his powers emerged early — terrifying, boundless. dreams reshaped reality. imaginations became dimensions. his own mind became a prison and playground both. reed tried to contain it. sue tried to protect it. neither really understood it.

he spent years traveling alternate futures, universes where he was god, tyrant, savior, weapon.

by the time he returned, this version of him decided to just be… a guy. he hasn’t quite succeeded.

HEADCANONS : OTHER SNIPPETS .

keeps a sketchbook full of worlds he tries not to create.

wants to fall in love — the kind that anchors you. hasn’t happened yet. maybe can’t.

has to remind himself that having power isn’t the same as having control.

his best friend used to be leech. still calls him sometimes just to sit in silence. beyond brilliant — but struggles to explain himself without sounding detached from reality.

misses valeria more than he admits.

has a very dry, almost sarcastic sense of humor — cosmic kid with burnout tendencies.

MISSED CONNECTIONS .

valeria richards — brain twin, chaos sister, time-lost companion.

his parents — too smart to truly know him, too loving to stop trying.

HEADCANONS : BEGINNINGS .

born under pressure — harry was less a child and more a prototype. norman osborn's second shot at legacy.

grew up in silence padded with luxury. everything was sleek, sterile, and branded.

learned to read people before he learned to trust them.

his mother’s absence? a hole nobody spoke of.

his father’s presence? a storm everyone tiptoed around.

met peter parker in school.

finally, someone who didn’t flinch when he spoke.

finally, someone who didn’t need something from him.

it was the beginning of everything good. and also what made the fall so much worse.

HEADCANONS : OTHER SNIPPETS .

trains hard, fights harder. always looks like he’s preparing for a battle that hasn’t come yet.

has a secret lab in the lower levels of oscorp that even norman doesn’t know about.

gets his suits tailored, but sleeps in ratty college hoodies.

his favorite music is orchestral with an edge — violins that sound like violence.

has a framed photo of him and peter from freshman year. he pretends it’s not there. feels everything too much and hates himself for it.

the green in his veins? it’s metaphorical — until it’s not.

obsessed with control because love once made him lose it.

MISSED CONNECTIONS .

gwen stacy — she looked at him like he wasn’t broken. that’s dangerous.

HEADCANONS : BEGINNINGS .

gabriel summers was never meant to exist.

torn from his mother’s womb after a crash, raised in acceleration pods by the shi’ar, weaponized before he could speak. they told him his brothers were dead. they told him he was their greatest creation. they were wrong on both counts.

escaped to earth with fire in his blood and names on his tongue — scott, alex. didn’t know if he wanted to hug them or burn them. maybe both.

tried to live a quiet life. it didn’t last. power like his never does.

HEADCANONS : OTHER SNIPPETS .

his energy manipulation goes far beyond "light blasts" — he can drain power, destabilize matter, silence stars.

has no real concept of casual relationships — everything is life or death to him.

wears sunglasses not for the look, but because seeing too much light makes his hands twitch.

calls scott “the golden son” with bitterness that almost sounds like love.

has tried therapy. once. didn’t go back.

keeps a locket that isn’t his — he doesn’t know who it belonged to, but it helps him sleep.

can go from charming to terrifying in less than a sentence.

MISSED CONNECTIONS .

scott summers — the older brother who got everything. gabe’s still not over it.

alex summers — the one he almost connected with, before it all fell apart.

born to a military family, carol grew up breathing discipline and jet fuel. her father didn’t believe women belonged in combat; she swore to prove him wrong. enlisted the moment she could. climbed ranks faster than anyone expected. she had the heart of a leader and the punch of a scrapper.

her life pivoted after the incident. a mission gone sideways, a mysterious engine core, an explosion. she woke up somewhere else — memory fragmented, power rewired. someone called her “vers.” someone told her earth was a lie.

she didn’t buy it.

carol returned to earth at 25 like a comet — unsure of where she belonged, but certain of who she was now. and that was enough.

HEADCANONS : OTHER SNIPPETS .

never lost the fighter pilot swagger. walks like she owns the room because she probably could.

soft spot for 90s music, leather jackets, and orange cats.

does not care about politics unless it hurts someone who can't fight back — then she's fire and fists.

still figuring out humanity, especially her own. sometimes she gets it wrong. she always tries again.

maria rambeau — her tether, her home, her almost.

HEADCANONS : BEGINNINGS .

the kind of child who took things apart before he could write his name.

howard stark’s legacy was a golden cage — and tony knew it. being a prodigy didn't protect him from cold silences and colder expectations.

he kept up the charm, the quips, the genius — and hid the grief.

graduated MIT while the rest of his age group was getting learner’s permits.

never really grew up — just grew louder, faster, and richer.

he isn’t iron man yet. but he’s working on something in the dark — something humming in red and gold that might make him feel something again.

HEADCANONS : OTHER SNIPPETS .

drinks too much, but only in expensive places with low lighting.

smiles like he’s winning, even when he’s not.

sleeps with AI voice prototypes running lullabies in the background.

has a sharp fear of silence — always leaves music or a machine humming.

has no idea what to do with genuine affection.

invents things to fix problems he caused.

flirts with everyone, commits to no one.

MISSED CONNECTIONS .

howard stark — his shadow walks in the room first.

pepper potts — currently just his assistant, but probably the only person who speaks to him like he’s human.

rhodey — the best friend who sees the cracks and stays anyway.

HEADCANONS : BEGINNINGS .

born of cosmic design.

not made to rule, but to witness — to move.

she remembers Atlantis before it sank. she raced the first comet and won.

her silence has never meant absence. it means depth.

people think speed means restlessness — but for Makkari, it's control.

stillness is easy for her.

waiting is hard.

HEADCANONS : OTHER SNIPPETS .

uses her speed to steal ancient books, rare seeds, lost music. she is a collector of stories.

knows exactly how fast a heart can break — she’s run away from hers a few times.

has a soft spot for humans who try to communicate with her on her terms.

when she fights, she’s fluid — more dance than battle.

her love is quiet and total.

can vibrate her fingers fast enough to sign across impossible distances.

once saved a dying planet just to preserve its myth.

MISSED CONNECTIONS .

druig — the soft war in her chest.
