Plot:
2604, the century of space. The great human empire that was predicted to have crumbled before they can reach the space age has yet again proved the impossible and has conquered the solar system we know today. This surprise reached the attention of a alien empire to return interest in humanity, hoping to destroy it before a new empire is created, but it was too late. Humanity has technology that is able to meet that of this empire, and attacking it would lead to a universal war. Due to this, the two new empires are left stagnant, almost like a cold war, as they continue to develop technology. The human empire grows rapid, but threats in the forms of military, pirates, and mercenaries attempt to slow down their growth in an attempt to keep them out of the picture.
Overview:
Essentially, this RP does not require you to follow the plot. You may be allowed to be a pirate, a merchant, or a soldier of any race. This is a free-roam RP. You give the choice, I give the outcome.
Races:
You are allowed to create your own race, as long as you give a short description of its appearance, and a small bit of history. Can also come up with its own home planet. These are just examples of defaults.
Humans: Self Explanatory
Titans: Subaquatic humanoids generally taller and slimmer than humans, whose civilization was found under the large tides of Holben. Two large eyes colored mostly red and black. They have skin that are shades of blue that is able to "sting" like a jellyfish. However, this is controlled by the individual. Most Titans have no hair on their body, but have tough hair, which cannot be cut, with color varying from black, brown and blue.
Locations:
Locations are also something you can make up on your own, namely planets, but are limited to the two Galaxies, The Milky Way, and Andromeda. Here are some more default locations.
Sun District (The Solar System): The world where humans. It includes the Solar System, and half the Milky Way. It nurses home to the Human Empire, and though it is smaller, it is much more stable in economy and growth.
Jupiter: Military grounds for the human military known as Squadron 26. Bases are built using large balloon-like structures to float on the gas giant(basic technology to settle on gas giants), and it is almost impossible to access using a specialized breathing vest designed for humans.
Holben: What we know as the Andromeda Galaxy, which is completely controlled by the empire of Titans. The largest empire in the GU, but is difficult to enforce and therefore is essentially a birthground for crime, including pirates, in the outer rims of the galaxy.
Jungion: Military base of the Titans, located far deep in water that only trained Titans can reach without special equipment. It is structured into the ocean floor, but also dives into a trench, in only the most experienced can actually go to without vehichles.
Citadel:Ground of the human black market, which is sparsely spread out in many planets located in the outer rims of Holben, protected by essentially a militia force involving many races.
Rules: 1. Romance and foul language at your own risk. 2. No godmodding 3. I'm offering a lot of freedom, so please don't abuse it. 4. Be active. 5. Have fun.
Character Sheet: Name: Age: Gender: Race: Role(Pirate, soldier, whatever you want): Crew(optional. Who you start with. Can be with other RPers or NPCs): Ship(optional. if in crew, only captain can describe it. How it looks and how it maneuvers): Location: Appearance/Clothing: Bio: Others:

Name: Janus Van'ur
Age: 28 Standard Years
Gender: M
Race: Volas
Role: Hunter. Sometimes Game, sometimes Bounty. Whichever seems most fulfilling.
Crew: None Currently.
Ship: "Volas Val" ("Sovereign Prey"). A sleek, fast Volas Sloop, optimized for stealth. Volas Sloops are vaguely bid-shaped, with a narrow triangular fuselage, with the engines at the flat bottom, and the somewhat stubby cockpit rounding off the point on the top. Viewed from the front or rear, the fuselage is sort of elliptical, with a smoothly rounded top and bottom. Large wings curve out from the sides, reaching around to forward and just below the cockpit, and ending in knife-like points at the very front. An Arsenal of homing weaponry and other utilities, such as tracking darts, are stored internally by the wings. A pair of Lasers are mounted on the ends of the wings, where they end in front of the cockpit. The design is incredibly sleek, with the components sloping seamlessly into each other. It should be noted, that the translation of the name is not entirely accurate, it is simply how Janus equated it to English. Volas does not mean Sovereign alone, but has numerous meanings and implications, all alluding to the idea that the Volas are Alpha Predators. "Vol" means simply, Predator, and "Val", as suggested by the ship name, means Prey.
Location: Docked in Citadel.
Appearance/Clothing: Janus stands roughly 7'2", and weighs nearly 220 lbs. His skin is not stark white, but a little on the blue-grey side. His hair however, is just barely off-white, and is cut short, trimmed close at the sides, and left a tad longer on the top, and slicks forward, and upwards at the very front. He has a light amount of hair on his chain and jaw, but non on his lip (1). On board his ship, he favors a light grey jumpsuit, and a pair of flat, rubber-soled shoes. He has an extensive wardrobe of field-wear, due to the exotic locations the hunt takes him. His Casual wear tends to be very light colors, typically stark white (2).
1. Volas are something of an anomaly in terms of evolution. Their physiology leaves them incredibly resistant to cold, and relatively unperturbed by higher temperatures, and yet, they lack body hair. The hair on their heads grows very slowly, leaving it short for most Volas. Maybe a Quarter or so of the Volas Population possesses facial hair. Some older Volas take pride in their rare ability to grow hair, and sport ragged, moderate length beards and hair. Female hair tends to grow much longer on the scalp, resembling human hair in terms of length, and do not grow facial hair. Volas are also an anomaly in terms of their height. In spite of most observation regarding the effects of gravity on the development of a species, in which creatures on high gravity worlds become much shorter, Volas are roughly a foot taller on average than humans, in spite of their planet being subjected to about 1.55 times Earth Gravity. 2. Light clothing is more of a traditional thing for the Volas. On their homeworld, Volas Men wore white and other light colors to blend in with the snow when they hunted and fought. Women and children wore darker colors, such as brown and black, to avoid being lost in snowstorms and the like. Women frequently wore White and such when they fought alongside the males.
Bio: Janus grew up on the Volas Homeworld, Volas 'Tur, ("Home of the Volas"), and was inducted into the Hunter culture as a young boy. When he became an Adult, the galaxy was opened to him, and so, he began the Hunt. He sought game as exotic and lethal as he could find it, but found himself in dire straits, nearly forced to sell his ship to feed himself. It was then that Bounty Hunting was brought to his attention. While not nearly as engaging as the Exotic Super-Predators of far-off planets, it payed the bills. Janus could more than easily handle the intermediate contracts, and Janus soon even found satisfaction in hunting villainous scum, enacting justice for their crimes. Rarer products of the beast-hunts, such as the pelts, brought in their own income, though he never sold Trophies, but Bounties became the true Breadwinner.
-Volas have a strong, deep-rooted Hunter-Culture, do to the absence of Farming and Gathering during the Freeze, which overtook the planet for about 9 of the Planet's Months. The Cold thawed for 3, which allowed work to be done, but for the rest of the year, the only means to acquire food was by competing with the Planets other predators over the scarce prey. To this end, the Volas found great pride in the use of "Bolts". This is their term for Rifles, and their culture mandates that a Bolt only be capable of firing one shot before reload/recharge. Regardless if the weapon uses slugs, plasma, lasers, it's viewed as dishonest to provide ones self with more than one shot at a time. The Volas also take great pride in their "Banes". Banes are essentially Axes, which are made by the individual, started at a young age, and finalized when they reach maturity. Axes like the Banes are the primary gathering tool of the Volas, and are thus regarded as a symbol of Plenty. While all Banes are essentially axes, the craftsman creates their Bane uniquely, to suit their own design, and frequently incorporate additions to make it an even more versatile tool. For Example, Janus's Bane features a flat sideways blade on the back end, like a Mattock. Banes are incredibly personal to a Volas. A Bolt can be replaced, a Bane cannot.
Others: It should be noted, that the translation of the ship name is not entirely accurate, it is simply how Janus equated it to English. Volas does not mean Sovereign alone, but has numerous meanings and implications, all alluding to the idea that the Volas are the dominant predators of their planet. "Vol" means simply, Predator, and "Val", as suggested by the ship name, means Prey. |

I forgot to add that most languages are calibrated into a translator, which is able to pick up most alien languages and convert them into the native language of a dweller, so there is no need to have miscommunication as the RPers will basically be writing like a translator translating to English.
Accepted, I will add a CS soon/persuade people to join. |

Name: Duke 'Duke' Ryan Gender: yes Race: Human, probably.

Can be with other RPers or NPCs): Clarence Brinberg, my lawyer, and the ghosts. Ship(optional. if in crew, only captain can describe it.

Character Sheet: Name: Contessa Hollick Haertelite Age: 26 Gender: Female Race: Human Role(Pirate, soldier, whatever you want): Bounty hunter Crew(optional. Who you start with. Can be with other RPers or NPCs): N/A for the time being. Ship(optional. if in crew, only captain can describe it. How it looks and how it maneuvers): Contessa owns a space fighter jet, that used to be her father's, which is basically a color of white and blue. It has wings that are a bit inspired by early 21st century jet fighters of that era. It has thrusters that allow it to go high speeds. It also has hyperdrive, which can theoretically allow her to travel to the Andromeda Galaxy. Also, it can fire lasers at an RPM of 6,000, with a muzzle velocity of 2,800ft, and heat-seeking missiles. Location: Sun District Appearance/Clothing: Contessa's waist length hair color is that of burnt copper, giving out an obvious hint that she is a redhead. Her eye pupils are colored brown, which almost aligned mostly with her darkish orange-like hair. She has few to some imperfections, including a bit of freckles on her, and some almost-visible small bumps across her left cheek. She is, overall, 5'7, but she's, otherwise, 5'10+, if she wore high heels. Her weight is a total of 128 pounds, her body, being a mixture of small frame and medium frame, contributing to the total weight, though small frame is a bit dominant. Her racial category is listed as non-Hispanic White.
Contessa typically wears a pair of cyclops wrap-around shield-like cyber-glasses that appear to take inspiration from 1980's retro-futurism, but has some appearance and all functional features a phone of the early 27th century would have. She has a black and dark purple jumpsuit, which reached from halfway through her neck to her feet. Her jumpsuit is accompanied by slightly dirty semi-light black armor, which shows across her chest, her forearms, and her back. She wears black gloves, which are also a bit dirty. She sports a pair of black combat boots, which she finds suitable for her, because she thinks wearing high heels for bounty hunting is impractical. She has dark grey knee pads and elbow pads, which help, because every time she lands on the ground on her knees/elbows, they would be protected by the pads. Bio: I was born with male vocal cords, making me sound like a man, then I had horrible school experiences, next, I had trouble with early adult life, and now to pay for my taxes, I resort to bounty hunting. Period. Others: yes im lazy with this bio but promise me a good version may come out soon also her mother and sister is alive and she wields a M2603 Springfield semi-automatic rifle that shoots red lasers on every shot until it overheats, which is where it needs to cool down |
