Quest: DNA Discovery

 


A paw sticks out of a bush and urgently beckons you closer.

"Psst! Y-you! You look like an enterprising person! Come here!" You kneel by the bush and meet the gaze of a short green Xero. "For, um, scientific purposes, I'm looking to procure some materials with unique DNA for uh... nevermind. You got any extra? I'll pay you!" she says quickly. "Just meet me back here, I'll be...in this bush..."

Passport Application

Category: Starter Prompts

Register your Xero by filling out a Passport for them! Click 'Show Details' for the rules.

A passport is provided to every Alurizan citizen and becomes an essential part of life in the AREZ. As the concept of borders is archaic by the standards of a multi-cultural space-faring republic, there needed to be a way to ensure safety of travel for its members; this comes in the form of the AREZ Passport.
The ability to travel vast distances to other planets presents many challenges to a healthy society, and so each passport contains the owner's medical data. In case of emergency or communicable disease, this information becomes a vital database accessible wherever the traveler goes.
In addition, the passports are highly customizable, allowing the owner to keep their travel information, such as any event tokens and tickets handy. It also makes it easy to send your contact information to any travelers you might encounter that you want to keep in touch with. It's your all-in-one travel companion!



INFORMATION
Register your Xero by filling out a Passport for them! A Passport is a required key item to participate in certain future activities with your Xero.

This prompt focuses on helping you develop your Xero a bit more. What is their name? What pronouns do they use? Will you use the date they were uploaded to the Masterlist as their birthday, or pick something custom? And finally, where do they live?

When submitting your entry for this prompt, please upload your piece to our Passport Gallery here! Art & writing uploaded to the Project Xero gallery also earns 5 Prestige.

 



Instructions
The template for the Passport can be found HERE. There is a layered PSD and a flattened image available for your use! If you'd like to match the font, this is the font used, but feel free to use any font.
Please only add the Marine Expedition stamp to your passport if you participated in this event!

Fill out your character's information on the passport and add a "photo" of them.
1. The ID # should be your Xero's Masterlist number. (Ex: Ziggy is X-025)
2. Add your Xero's name. You can name them whatever you want!
3. Add your Xero's pronouns.
4. Add your Xero's birthdate. You can use the date they were uploaded to the Masterlist, or make up a date that suits them!
5. Finally, pick an area of residence for them. Check out our Locations page for a few canon ideas of where your Xero could live, or feel free to make up your own location off-planet! They can live anywhere!
