After the ship is shot down, many life pods managed to eject. Subverted as you're not the only one to survive the explosion at first anyways. Sole Survivor: The only human of the Aurora.In Creative mode, you don't even need to watch those. The Needless: In Freedom mode, you don't have to worry about hunger or thirst, either, though you still have to watch your health and oxygen.Even though there's a day-and-night cycle you can fast-forward by sleeping in one of three bedding options you don't actually need sleep. The Sleepless: You never need to sleep once in this game.Handwaved by the fact the Fabricator is stated to remove internal organs and generally sterilize the fish in the process of cooking/curing them for consumption. You also eat parts of the fish most people would pass over: Peeper eyeballs are apparently rich in protein. Some of the fish do look pretty normal in terms of fish your average Westerner would consider food species, but others are decidedly alien. The AI notes that, while the idea of eating a dead animal may disgust you, humans have been doing it for thousands of years. Reduced to Ratburgers: You have to eat certain creatures and plants in order to survive on the planet.Robinson, meanwhile, is probably a reference to Robinson Crusoe. Meaningful Name: Ryley, assuming it's pronounced phonetically, sounds very similar to R'lyeh note pronounced "reel-yay", the sunken city where Cthulhu sleeps in the Cthulhu Mythos.Unlike poor, out-of-his-depth Medical Officer Danby who perished near Lifepod 12 (probably via Warper rarther than illness). Ryley's job would have given him some foundations he could build on to survive with, besides his incredible luck in not coming down, say, near a Crabsquid on day one. Semi-justified: being a glorified janitor means practice using fabricators, repair tools and scanners, reading the instructions, interpreting and following the PDA, some possible fork-lift experience from negotiating with stores and other hands-on, general skills.That includes the Cyclops, a submarine with a standard crew complement of three that only trained experts are supposed to be able to handle solo. Instant Expert: Although he's basically a janitor in all but name, Ryley can utilize any tech he interacts with pretty much instantly.This either means you are the captain of whatever vessel or building you've created, but it could also mean that you've been designated the de-facto captain of the Aurora and its subsidiaries due to the fact that you're the only survivor. You are also called "Captain" when you enter a vessel or building. In-Series Nickname: The AI addresses them as Survivor, likely to avoid giving them a canon name.The only thing you'll ever hear from him are grunts of pain or gasps for air. Heroic Mime: Doesn't utter a single word in the game.Breeding Stalkers to help hunt down salvage (and farm their precious teeth) is but one application. All fauna raised this way are permanently friendly towards you, even if released into the wild. Another, more permanent, method is to acquire an egg and hatch it in an Alien Containment.It's possible to tame Stalkers by feeding them prey, which can help gather resources.
Body Horror: He ends up getting green glowing pustules and visible cracks on his hands due to his Kharaa infection.When the credits roll, he has survived countless predator attacks, cured a terrible alien plague, saved an ancient species and, through them, the whole planet from extinction, and made his way back home. Badass Normal: He's just a low-level ship maintenance worker thrown into a desperate fight for survival on an alien planet, but he quickly copes with the shock, sets himself up for the long haul and perseveres against all odds.
Unknown Worlds staff have joked that the one concrete thing they know about his personality is that his favourite thing in the world is hair gel. Anime Hair: One of the few things we know about the protagonist is that he has a huge fauxhawk.Ambiguously Brown: Of the "future people are all one race" style.Almighty Janitor: Prior to the crash, Ryley was the "Non-Essential Systems Maintenance Chief", which sounds like a really fancy way of saying "Head Janitor".
After the crash, he not only manages to outlast any of the other survivors but saves a world he never knew and manages to get off of it.
