The Year is 2028. America has fallen into a state of almost disrepair since the turmoil of 2020, but is slowly recovering, despite a massive debt to the new World Superpower of China. Although the broken American Economy has greatly benefited other countries. With the incredible cheap price of American Technology, Britain has been able to launch their own program to put a base on the Moon, something the Russians have already had plans to do, and which Australia is starting to take part in. As Australia has never really had any problems with Russia, they gladly teamed up, and Britain eventually followed suit, giving birth to the Tri-National Space Association, or TSA, in 2026. Numerous tests were done, scouting landing zones on the moon from landings, until in 2027 you and a group of many other highly qualified individuals were sent up to set up the Tri-Nation Unitive Lunar Station, the TULS, and succeeded, in a great leap forwards for Mankind and it's associates.
But lately things have gotten strange. Transmissions between Earth and the Base have been randomly cut off and sometimes replaced with strange garbled language. Those who have went on EVA have not returned, at least not sane. Equipment has gone missing, and all evidence of old missions has just disappeared. There is one question on the minds of all who know: How long until the Station follows?
======================================================== RACES Humans - Humans. Adaptive, and the first known sentient beings on Earth to make fire, clothe themselves, cook food, create art, and use technology. They are the most numerous of all the races, with the most time spent on Earth of them.
Anthros - Anthropomorphs. Humans at heart, Anthropomorphic Surgery has become rather popular since it was first perfected and demonstrated completely successfully in 2014. The level of Modification is variable, from basically bipedal animal, to Human with fur. They tend to have animalistic traits and habits, and to not be as adaptive. http://fav.me/d41msy4 http://fav.me/d43gx7c http://fav.me/d488a9f http://fav.me/d41xzmd
Hangmen - Hangmen Mechanical Humanoids. The 'Hangman' Mechanical Humanoid is known for the small loop on the back of the neck by which they are hung for storage, which gives them the eerie appearance of hanged men. They are a Multi-Purpose Jack-of-Trades Robot, pre-programmed for a wide variety of tasks straight from the factory, and with a 'Learning' Programme so that no IT Technician specialising in Robotics needs to be employed in order to reprogramme them for tasks not already pre-programmed or to get them to perform pre-programmed tasks differently. But later models are known for something far more advanced: Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Personality. Because a Personality is so vast in Data, Hangmen need to be constantly in connection with the Manufacturer's server in order to have their personality. Without a connection, or in the case of a server crash, they have no personality and become once again like the earlier models, but keep whatever has been programmed, due to the programming being stored in the robot, with only the personality being on the manufacturer's servers. The 'Hangman' is produced by the English Company, PV Robotics plc. http://fav.me/d45njgb
Lupea - Alnores Lupires. When DE/IM first made contact with humanity, it was the Lupea who greeted them. They differ from Anthros in that they are born the way they are. They are much more instinctual and rash than Anthros, and are very curious, though resistant to change. The Alnores Lupires stand at an average of 6' 2", with lithe, muscular builds and plantigrade feet. Their skeletal structure is much similar to that of a Human's, although their hips have a strange jointing not visible without autopsy or X-Ray that allows them to safely dislocate, and their skulls are pulled forwards into a Wolfish Muzzle, while their spine extends out into a long, wolfish tail. Their skeletons are typically thinner and a little more brittle than other sentient races. They are covered by fur, usually grey, but occasionally White, Black or Russet, although more unusual colours have been noted, especially with the rise of the 'Free Bird' Community. They have ears similar to that of a Terran Wolf, and their hands and feet have black pads similar to paws on the palms and bottom of the feet. The eyes are typically yellow, green or blue. They have hair in addition to their fur, typically of a darker shade of the colour of their fur. Strange Hip Joints allow for longer/higher falls without much damage, and eyes have exquisite night-vision, but are blind to the colour Yellow, posing problems as Humans tend to use Yellow as a warning colour. Fragile Bones are not well protected by fat due to typically lithe builds. Very strong immune systems. http://fav.me/d49nw5x
Vizen - Sentias Gratias. The Vizen are a dying race, part of DE/IM like the Lupea, but they are radically different from Humans and Anthros, with slight psychic powers. They are the polar opposites of the Lupea, bending to every change, and dangerously pacifist and non-violent. Sentias Gratias are very fragile. Their bones are thin and brittle, and their joints are stiff and rigid. Their hands are small, with six long fingers and two similarly long thumbs on each hand, with every digit having one more knuckle than the human norm. The feet are digitigrade, with eight splayed and webbed toes, six on the front and two protruding from the back of the balls of the feet, bellow the ankle joint which does not touch the ground. Long limbed, and with a long torso, and an almost ridiculously thin stature. Typically stand at 7' 5". Large heads, with very circular skulls and protruding collar bones that protect the fragile neck, and can lock into the skull. Four eyed, and the face is covered by a natural 'mask' membrane. They have 'normal' noses. They do have hair, which is slightly prehensile. They have four small, pointed ears on the base of their collar bone. Their skin is thin and slightly translucent, and usually an orange or cream in colour. The mask membrane is usually either blue or green and transparent. Slight Psychic Powers. Very Fragile Physically, but with remarkably fast minds. Very weak immune systems.
Note: DE/IM Races are not very common, as not many choose to settle on the Lunar Station, using it mainly as a stop-off point en-route to Earth. Note: Other Races have been met by the Human Race. If you wish to use one, you must provide information on them, including any notable history, how they came to be encountered and included in the Lunar Station Program, and typical appearance. ======================================================== Name: Age: Gender: Race: Profession: (You're probably going to be someone highly qualified.) Appearance: Clothing: Weaponry: (Be somewhat realistic. It's the Future yes, but take into consideration your job.) Bio: |

(They won't hurt anything, even to defend themselves.) (FIRECAKE accepted. They don't all look the same, they can be modified with synthetic skin, hair and eyes etc. or simply painted or made from different metals. The only thing they always have in common is the loop on the back of the neck. Feel free to redo with this in mind.) (Gamer, you need more info in your appearance.) (Crabby... I'm hesitant, but you're accepted. Let's see how this goes. I don't know why but I'm getting a 'GOING TO BE MARY SUE' vibe.) |

Name: Genevieve Suranya Age: 37 Gender: Female Race: Lupean Profession: DE/IM Scientist Appearance: Stands 5' 2", with Russet coloured Fur, and shoulder length Umber hair, tipped with a bright blue from weekends off. Green eyed, and thinly built, with the long thin fingers of a musician and the small, almost non-existent muscles of a scientist. Has the typical clawed fingernails, muzzle, ears, tail and paw-pads of a Lupean, although has a shorter muzzle and longer tail than most. Clothing: A DE/IM White Labcoat, knee-length and with the DE/IM Insignia emblazoned on the back. (The letters DE/IM in Black, with the / represented by a white lightning bolt.) Her ID is attached to the front of the labcoat, and underneath it is a DE/IM Field Support Crew Deflective Breastplate, a small black segment of armour much like a stab vest designed to deflect compact arms (Up to but not including 9mm) fire and knives. Turtleneck green long-sleeve shirt, black trousers, black 1 inch heel boots. Salor Corporation Holographic Pince-Nez Glasses. Weaponry: http://fav.me/d4cav0b (Lower Left.) Bio: Genevieve Suranya is one of the Scientists dispatched by DE/IM to TULS to monitor the Humans and their associates to see how they fare in reduced and zero-gravity conditions, and in space in general, as part of a trial to determine whether or not they should be invited to join DE/IM and the DSC.
She was born and raised in the capital of the Dalros system's Capital, the city of Delis, on Delias 4. She followed her Father into the Scientific Field of work, working for the Salros Corporation in their Medical System, before eventually being offered a place on the DE/IM Scientific Trial of TULS. She mainly spends her time in the Medical Wing of the station, watching everyone who comes and goes.

Name: Yxra-40 Ag/e: 16 (See: Average ag/e.) Gender: Male.
Race: Sapientes
Profession: Common- Commons are used in fleets as everything from medics to pilots. Specifically, Yxra-40 is a Diplomat at the moment.
Appearance: Sapientes is larger than the average Sapientes, at 4'8. He is distinguished as a Diplomat by white patches on his shoulders.
Clothing: He is clad in a plain gray full-body environmental suit, including a respirator and several sensors. The white patches on his shoulders are imitated on his suit.
Weaponry: A simple 'Pulse Pistol', designed for use against unarmored or lightly armored combatants.
Bio: Yxra-40 was one of the many in the Yxra brood, spawned on Colony world Yx. His only truly distinctive feature was his unusual size, which almost got him recycled. However, he was found to be an exceptional 'Common', due to an unusually large memory.
This eventually got him assigned by the Hivemind as a Diplomat at almost all times. Yxra-4o's high memory allowed him a small imprinted personality, though barely notable. He keeps it under moderation, due to the danger it presents to his continued existence.
((Race info:
Physical Appearance: Sapientes stand anywhere from 3-4 feet on average, their frames stooped low by gravity. Their limbs are powerful, yet lanky, with their double jointed legs capable of holding them up under extreme pressure and their bones capable of handling said pressure.
Sapientes have an underdeveloped sense of hearing, with an almost complete lack of ears, but have immense abilities with sight and touch. They have two fly-like eye clusters. Sapientes have highly amorphous mouths, connected to powerful stomachs.
Sapientes have 4 arms, with each arm ending in an 8-digited hand. They have a long series of bumps going along their stooped back, within which the clustered cells of their brain matter is held. These spots are heavily protected by folds of hide and tough bone-plates.
They are grey skinned.
Personality: Sapientes are usually devoid of personality, and rarely hold grudges. They do, however, take into account the reputation of other species and past betrayals.
Sentience: Hivemind.
Average life span: 40 years.
History: Sapientes are an artificial species. Long ago, they were forged with the purpose of being heavy, loyal workers on harsh areas. However, the masters of the Sapientes died out long before the Sapientes, due to brutal wars and a lack of resources.
The Sapientes saw this destruction, and grew lonely. They set their eyes to the stars, and grew curious. They learned of the existence of others, of the knowledge they possessed, and grew wanting.
The Sapientes took to the skies in small, self-replicating fleets, heading out in all directions. At all times are these fleets in contact, and so they never stray far from one another.
The Sapientes now search the skies for knowledge, both of technology and other species. They try to stay away from conflict, but are more than willing to step in when their fleet is attacked.
The Sapientes fleet, recently, detected life within the Sol System. They have sent Yxra-40 and his small guard entourage to investigate. He has yet to make contact.
Other Info: Sapientes hold the ability to psychically commune, but are unable to read the thoughts of those not in tune with the Hivemind.) |

((Yyayyyy.)
Yxra-40, of the Yxra brood upon the planet Yx, stared at the monitors placed all around him, monitoring each one diligently as he waited. He was monitoring, specifically, for any notable energy readouts from the Sol system. Things to be alarmed about... |
