We agreed that each person brings the character they have written, and in the end, we will vote together to choose who is the protagonist we want to play. Here is the protagonist I designed.
A young individual.
Has some cool abilities but is not invincible.
In fact, the idea started with my conceptual monster designs, so now I'm thinking my protagonist needs to struggle for survival on this dangerous alien planet.
Combining these two points, I quickly thought of a young person—a young person with a disability. He lost an arm and replaced it with a multifunctional mechanical prosthetic.
I envision this to be an ultra-futuristic prosthetic limb, not only replacing the functions of the original arm but also possessing capabilities surpassing those of a typical human arm.
Multifunctional?
because player want to explore a mysterious place that no one has approached before, and having a prosthetic with various functions would provide the versatility needed for adapting to unexpected situations.
A character perhaps with a personality akin to Dr. Henry Walton "Indiana" Jones.
Good.
A character who has faced danger from extraterrestrial beings but maintains a curious and optimistic nature. Raised by an uncle who perished in an encounter with extraterrestrial life, losing an arm in the process.
This prosthetic may not necessarily need to be a hand. It could be a laser cannon, or even a shovel and drill.
Following is my summary.
Genius teenage engineer.
Raised by his uncle, an explorer, he lost his left hand during an adventure with his uncle, who died at the hands of unknown extraterrestrial beings.
His left hand is now replaced with various tools and weaponized prosthetics.
Proficient in processing various acquired resources.
Determined to spare others the pain of losing loved ones, he has dedicated himself to ensuring the survival of the entire ship's crew after their crash landing on a strange and perilous planet, actively organizing exploration teams.
Starship design
Since it's a futuristic setting, I started thinking about the whole story based on the protagonist.
Lore
The New Planet Development team became unexpectedly lost in space during their journey. Communication devices were damaged.
Supplies were insufficient, and the engines were damaged.
Eventually, the spacecraft crash-landed on an unknown planet. People could only attempt to survive here.
Starship
I'm satisfied with this background, so I decided to start considering their crashed spaceship, which I believe would be an interesting level.
I quickly sketched a few drafts. The first one I abandoned was the bulky square design.
In my mind, I wanted the spaceship to be sleek and streamlined, resembling a graceful bird. This way, the impact of its crash would be more fascinating.
