-[Story]-
Tons of years into the future on a planet we humans know as Earth, we were forced to leave. A creature had been hiding in the darkness. Tentacles sprouted from the ground, destroying buildings and taking lives. Humans could not win this battle and with their current technology they had to create small spaceships as fast as possible. They were each given one spaceship per-person and they were scattered around the universe like dust. They left the planet that their species grew up on. But everything has to die, even things that have lived for billions of years. Humans had a fresh restart, all alone on new planets. The alien creatures were strange and even hostile. But humans were not alone. Other species had been kicked out of their homes and have been colonizing the universe. The humans would not let their legacy end. They brought the smallest amount of supplies onto their ship: A Matter Manipulator, to break things for survival, some food items, and a flashlight. They refused to give up, and they did what seemed impossible; live on extraterrestrial planets.
-[Species]-
Apex - General Information: These creatures are about the size of humans and are very fluffy. They resemble monkeys, but in more of a human shape. They are very swift and agile. Appearance: Apex are mammals similar both to humans and the "great apes" commonly found on Earth. It is likely they used to resemble humans even more closely than they currently do now, with a "devolution" effect causing their more ape-like features (I.E. greater body hair, monochromatic eyes). Distinguishing features of the species include their body hair, absent mostly on their faces, palms and likely the bottoms of their feet and stomachs. They have large ears and distinguished facial hair (often females will also have facial hair), and particularly monochromatic eyes, taking on a glossy black color. History: The Apex resembled humans until they decided to trade their physical appearance for knowledge. The Apex work under a corporation known as the Miniknog (The Ministry of Scientific Progression). Each Apex dedicates his or her life to survival and progression of its species. For a time the MiniKnog received criticism from several prominent Apex for what appeared to be a bias towards selecting only the poorest in society to be members of the chosen. However, this criticism was silenced when the critics themselves were selected. There are whispers of a rebel group ready to denounce the MiniKnog and lead the Apex into revolution but in Apex society even discussion of dissension is punishable by death. Culture: The Apex are without a doubt the most scientifically advanced of all the species. Their buildings and ships usually have a futuristic tone.
Avian - General Information: These creatures are like humanoid birds. They have feathers and beaks. They have plumage and talons. They can glide, but not fly. Appearance: Avian are both birds and mammal like creatures similar to the general characteristics of birds and of humans. They usually have a set of feathers on their head known as their own unique plumage and the same thing on their tail. They can have beaks, let them be flat like a duck or sharp like an eagle. They are covered in feathers ranging in tons of different colours and have very sharp talons. Avian, thought bird like, however do not have any wings. History: The Avians are ruled by a being called Kluex, the winged god of the Aether. He was chosen to be the leader of the sample group of Avians who were genetically enhanced and given alien technology. Avians believe they were stripped of their wings as punishment for entering the mortal world and will only regain their wings in the afterlife should they achieve absolution through worship. Throughout their history Avians have always been a primitive race, making little scientific progress. Avian numbers were beginning to dwindle when a superior race took pity and bestowed the gift of advanced technology upon them. This new found tech allowed the Avians to flourish and spread across the universe, building temples of worship as they go. Though rare, Avians have been known to stray from their religious culture. Dubbed the grounded, these Avians become outcasts and find solace amongst other races. Culture: The Avians follow the culture of the Aztecs and Mayans. They have similar armor and weapons and even build similar temples and structures.
Floran - General Information: These creatures are like humanoid plants. Their skin is leafy and their heads are usually covered in a flower of some sorts. They are stronger and better in the sunlight. Appearance: Florans are both plant like and human like creatues. These strange creatures usually have differently coloured skin, ranging from a pale green to a pale red. Their body has a leafy texture and their eyes are pitch black and wrap-around. They usually have a large set of leaves or flowers on their heads. History: One would expect a race of sentient humanoid plants to be peaceful, nature-loving environmentalists – that presumption is what allows this hyper-aggressive tribal civilization to thrive. Unwitting explorers are prey of choice to the carnivorous Florans, who frequently salvage or reverse engineer the technology they bring to enable their colonization of the stars. Their aggressive nature appears to be borne from a lack of a concept of non-plant life as opposed to outright contempt. Owing to their relatively young age as a species, this tenet dominates their culture and justifies their treatment of visiting races, though there are signs of some beginning to question this, implying that Floran individuals may not be inherently “evil” as previously thought, but that they are able to make peaceful societies that are able to live in harmony with the other non-plant races. Culture: The Florans follow more of a tribal culture.
Glitch - General Information: These things have no life at all. They are artificially created robots, given emotions and knowledge. They do not have to eat or breathe, but they do need to be fueled every once in a while. Appearance: A Glitch is very simply a humanoid robot. They are made out of different kinds of metals and have large coloured eyes. They usually have black, soft spots between their vulnerable areas such as the neck, upper arm and knees. History: The Glitch were part of a program invented and built by an unknown race of enormous intelligence as a means of simulating the social and technological progress of a non-human civilization. These experiments took place in a vast number of regions across the universe. Despite changing a plethora of variables, each civilization eventually destroyed itself when its technological progression began to overtake its social progression. All but the Glitch. For reasons unknown a fault caused the Glitch to become stuck early in the simulation, where they now remain. The experiment long abandoned, the Glitch are unable to shake their Medieval values and beliefs. They're entirely unaware of their origin and are built to experience the feelings and desires of any other sentient organism. Culture: Due to a problem with their programming, their personalities were totally reset, bringing them back to a medieval culture. They refuse to change.
Human - General Information: Normal, standard human. They can carry more items than some other species. Appearance: Over the years, humans have chosen to not evolve. They did not need to evolve, and they did not want to evolve. They stayed the same as they did years ago. Humans have also liked the way their clothing has been and decided to not change that either. History: Humans are a technologically advanced and intelligent species, rapidly advancing technologically and socially. They were the first species to research and engage in space travel for science and entertainment. Humanity began to explore the stars, however a certain currently-unspecified "limitation" constrained their colonization efforts to their own solar system. With resources rapidly depleting on Earth, humanity turned to war as the major Earth Superpowers fought over the limited resources in the solar system. During a lengthy conflict over the planet Mars an unknown and huge tentacle-like entity attacked and lay waste to earth, destroying the single unified nations of Earth and casting the few survivors into the galaxy. Culture: Futuristic, but not as futuristic as the Apex.
Hylotl - General Information: These creatures lived in the ocean but their ocean was too small for them. So, these humanoid-fish adapted to land and went to explore throughout the stars. They are faster in the ocean and can breathe underwater. Appearance: Hylotis' are a mix of fish-like and human-like creatures. Quite a strange looking race, the hylotls have three bright red eyes and scaly skin. They have different types of fins on their heads and webbed arms and feet. Their scale colour can range from anything between red to green. While their bellies are usually soft and white. History: The Hylotl are a peaceful and empathic race. They concern themselves with beauty, perfection, and culture, and have a strong urge to share this with other organisms. They are pacifists and herbivores. Unfortunately, despite their noble ideals, the Hylotl's kind nature has regularly put them on the receiving end of another race's weapons. Culture: The culture of the Hylotls respresent that of Eastern Asian, in other words they're very oriential.
Novakid - General Information: These strange things are made out of the remains of dead stars. They are hot to the touch and do not need to breathe and they emit their own body heat giving them immunity to space and the cold. They are weak with water. Appearance: Novakids' have the strangest appearance, but are still humaniod in general shape. Due to their body being made up entirely of coloured and heated gases, they emit a faint light. Their bodies can be nearly any colour and usually have a symbol on their face. History: Forged eons ago in the fusion furnaces of a now-dead star, the Novakid are a perfect example of nature’s emergent beauty. These creatures, described by a human astronomer as “interstellar gas-bag people”, have no known single origin point: that information is long lost, as the Novakid have little to no desire to record their history, or even pass it on to their offspring. Though they are (generally) more intelligent and intuitive than the “fleshy” races, their attention spans are lacking. This does not make them any less effective in combat, but has the effect of restricting their technology research (and any groundbreaking research is forgotten within a few generations). Culture: The Novakids follow a culture similar to the gunslingers and cowboys from the old wild west, a bit wreckless by nature.
-[Tech]-
Your character may find randomly generated techs. Techs are somewhat like abilities only for adventurers. They can help you with jumping, running, hunting or even flying. The owner and admins may place techs for each other and for other role-players. You cannot find your own tech. An admin must tell you that one is nearby, and the admin will tell you which tech you get.
The following techs, in order of rarity, are:
Pulse Jump - Allows the user to perform a double jump.
Energy Dash - Allows the user to create a boost of energy behind them to send them flying in one direction.
Morphball - Allows the user to morph into a ball and place down small bombs.
Bulldozer - Allows the user to enter a bull dozer where they may mine very quickly.
Ghost Travel - Allows the user to walk through walls for a certain amount of time. Once the time is over and you're still in a wall, the blocks around you break and you are reverted back to normal.
Mech - Allows the user to enter a giant mech suit able to mine and shoot bullets.
Random Blink - Allows the user to teleport to a random place nearby.
Targeted Blink - Allows the user to teleport to a place they chose nearby.
Hoverbike - Allows the user to hop in a hoverbike and travel faster.
Gravity Neutralizer - Allows the user to distort gravity, allowing them to float horizontally.
Gravity Bubble - Allows the user to enter a bubble where they may distort gravity, giving them the ability to fly and float.

-[Admin Information]-
To become an admin, you must follow every single rule and earn the creator's trust. You also need to be a good role-player.
The current admins are:
Hydreigons - The creator of the role-play. Kenzieroo - The main helper, basically the co-creator. KseeKing - A friend of mine. Ericthehuman1 - A friend of mine.
Admins may...
Accept and Decline CS's. They do not need to wait to be accepted. Make up new rules as the role-play progresses. Create events, as long it doesn't contradict with something already happening.
-[Rules]-
-Romance allowed, but at your own risk. I will not deal with you if you do not follow this rule but the forum mods should. -Put "Hail Big Ape" in Other to show that you've read the rules. -Normal ROBLOX rules apply; no trolling, flaming, hating, spamming. -Obey the admins. Treat them like royalty. -This is not a power role-play. It is in the future, but besides techs, everyone has no magic or powers. -Please, respect the fact that we took our time to work on this. If you don't like it, there is no need to hate on it. Just leave the page and ignore it. -Be descriptive in your posts. I want to see grammar, spelling and punctuation. -Everyone must be one of the 7 species. No one can create a species. -You start out on your own personal spaceship. You are given a Matter Manipulator which is an item to help you out. It cuts trees and mines. -Yes, this is highly based off of the game Starbound. I have added some extra stuff and taken away some stuff, so don't yell at me that it's not exactly like the game. I also highly suggest you get the game, it is a very fun and addictive game. -We're not on Earth! The planets are going to be very different. Yes, there will be oxygen on all of them and yes there are creatures on all of them. These creatures are not dogs or cats, but they may resemble dogs or cats. Creatures from Earth cannot be brought to these planets, but creatures on these planets may LOOK like creatures from Earth. -Relating to the last rule, the creatures are different. On Earth, creatures just fight with claws and teeth. Here, they may have toxic spit or breathe fire. -There are no limits to how many characters you can have. Just don't have 10 by the first three pages. And if you give yourself 8 characters by the first four pages, don't, because you knew what I meant the first time. -Don't ask to be admined. It actually lowers your chance of becoming an admin. Didn't expect that, huh? -This is a survival role-play. You can break stuff and place stuff. You can build and you can die.

Name / Nickname: Phi (Fee) Age: Roughly 1000, but due to the Novakids having the longest lifespan of all species it is like he is 20. Gender: Male. Species: Novakid. Appearance[INCLUDE CLOTHING]: He looks like this, but has a light aqua blue gas colour and a sideways oval with a line through it as his marking instead of a star. http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/117/6/5/65f8083455ad514baf026db097f8c4fb-d635z42.png Personality: Loud, impatient, short-tempered. Items: Matter Manipulator. Bio[OPTIONAL]: He was created nearly a thousand years ago from a medium sized blue star. He had just left his home colony to go and explore the galaxy on his own ship.

Name / Nickname: Yunas Indyr
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Species: Avian
Appearance[INCLUDE CLOTHING]: The set of feathers on his tail and head, is almost a vermilion red, but darker, the rest of the feathers on him are a snowy-white colour; Yunas' feathers are soft, and subtle, being delicate, mostly on his tail. Yunas' beak is a eagle shaped one, sharp and intimidating, it's a shiny yellow, reflecting off the sun when it shows. As for Yunas' talons, it isn't all that sharp, but towards the end of his talon, it's more a curved then pointy shape. His eyes are beady, and more of a ebony black, although a tint of dark blue may be seen, his head is placed more forward, then on top, and his tail is almost a arrowhead shape, however more linear and undeviating. Following Aztec and Mayan culture, on his belly is fur, which is the colour red, resembling a arrowhead, which symbolises a Aztec/Mayan weapon. His attire consists of normal Aztec clothing. He wore a maxlatl worn under a cape called tilmahtli, also sandals, and simple ankle bracers.
Personality: Sarcastic, humorous, irascible, off-standish, self-centered. Emphasis on self-centered. Big EMPHASIS.
Items: Matter Manipulator, a piece of leather, and a wooden spear (not so useful, but I guess it works).
Bio[OPTIONAL]: Yunas barely talks about it, but I guess a little info wouldn't hurt. Yunas definitely believed in their leader, Kluex. He, like others, quickly strayed from the religious culture he used to have, his gingery and reddish fur resembles Aztec and Mayan deserts, and drawings. That's all Yunas reveals..
Pet[OPTIONAL]: No pet.
Other: Hail Big Ape! |

I'm sorry I'm just not appealed to any of them, they all seem....well....fluffy or nice....
I prefer something more dangerous.
Like I wanted to make one that was pitch black, and had like, 6 inch spikes coming from his elbows, and little one inch spikes spread out across his arms. And his head would be like, streamlined like a flame pointing backwards.

Yunas -------------------- Yunas grabs his wooden spear, and Matter Manipulator from his ship storage, and walks around pointlessly scratching his feathers. Fixing up his cape, he checked if he had everything, ready to get beamed down to the planet. He was completely oblivious to where he was going to beam to down to, but let's hope it's something good. |

Phi beams down to the planet. It was filled with grass and there were trees around. |

Yunas -------------------- Yunas beamed down, the planet seemed barren, with plenitude amounts of rock and few trees in the distance. It seemed like it had no water, he would only know if he explored. Yunas took out his Matter Manipulator and ran towards the oak trees, cutting about 2 with his Matter Manipulator, I guess he would make some tools - if he knew how. |
