Galaxus a Roleplaying Game (Apply here!)
« on: September 22, 2012, 06:03:45 pm »

I give you, Galaxus a Roleplaying Game. There are a few standard rules for Galaxus, and various choices races and immersion for you to enjoy. To start off, I shall tell you of the setting.

Like you have most likely guessed, Galaxus is a game set in the future, however this isnt all happy smiley, Humans are locked in a brutal war. The Progenitors, creators of life and bringers of death have returned from their billions of years of sleep. The Icarians are invading Human space by the order of the Emperor Ursnarr Salfern. The insectoid Illiskari have been on the move conquering nearby star systems to expand the influence of the Hive Mind. The Union of United Human Planets are locked in bloody combat with the Utdarian Empire. Orion Corp a corperation that advances science military weapons and the like have engineered a Biological parasite for the Ulterran Dominion. Who also demanded an Overlord be made to control the Parasites. And then the Old Ones, beings thought to have been killed by the Progenitors have returned to exact vengeance on the galaxy. This is an age of war and brutality, there seldom is peace. Even among the supposed united Human race.

Now that I have given you a brief setting of Galaxus, we should head on to the rules. (Later on this post will be neatly formatted.)

The Rules
1. No godmodding, you are mortal, no matter if you choose the Icarians or an Utdarian Soldier, or a "Liberated" Parasite. You are still going to die quite easily.
2. No Metagaming, you don't  know the locations of every battleground, the awakening of the Progenitors or the return of the Old Ones. You know what you gain in character, either from the news or whatever.
3. Terran Telepaths are allowed to an extent, you however will most likely avoid using your power, otherwise you will end up dying from it. And your powers will be extremely weak, Terrans arent natural telepaths, and as such only Terran military units are telepaths. And only those belonging to the Ulterran Dominion and the Union.
4. You are mortal, you die like everyone else. While the Utdarian people are stronger and slightly faster than normal Terrans, and tougher. They still die like a normal Terran. And while the Icarian's have a completly diffrent biology, they still die like anyother. The only real exception is a "Liberated" Parasite, who can always detach from it's host and find another to infect.
5. Skills such as Mech piloting and so forth are essential if you are to ride and operate the many things in Galaxus.

Races

Terran:Homo Sapien
Description:
A normal every day Human from Terra or other colonised Human worlds, they are rather weak and stupid compared to the rest of the galaxy. They lack innate Telepathy, they lack much technological advancement, many of them worship the wrong Gods or in some races, still hold onto the irrational belief that any number of Gods exist. The Humans however are rather well rounded, having the potential of a great race. Most Terrans stand at a healthy five feet, some grow to six feet, rarely a few grow to seven. And in rare documented cases, eight feet. Their eye color varies depending on their world. Along with racial class height weight strength and so on. Normal Terrans have white to black hair, green to brown eyes and so on. Their skin color ranges from very pale to near black.
Stats:
Terrans have a natural 4 in Int Cha Str Agil and various others depending on subspecies.

Utdarian:Homo Superor (Sorry don't know the latin word for superor :-\)
Description:
Utdarian men and women usually are around six feet to seven. They are superor to normal Terrans in some ways, their technological advancement is vastly superor to normal Terran Technolongy. They are stronger, tougher and somewhat faster than normal Terrans. They also can breathe more toxic atmospheres then their normal Terran counterparts. They also receive a better education then normal Terrans, and lack the mass starvation plagueing the Union and Dominion. Social castes are almost none existant in Utdarian society, Utdarians also live longer than normal Terrans. Reaching 140 years old before dying of old age, due to technological advancement in bioengineering to cure the vicious virus's that plauged them during the original colonisation of their Home World. Other races such as the Icarians look on Utdarians as the overall superor of normal Terrans, some races however see them as heathen barbarians for denying any and all Gods. While other races view them as the only Terrans to be reasonable and logical. Their skin color ranges from very pale to tan, their homeworld's sun is not as potent as other suns. The usual hair color for them is black. Their eye color ranges from blue to brown.
Stats:
Utdarians have a natural 12 in Str a 10 in Int a 6 in Agil and a 5 in Char.

Icarian:Xeno (The Terrans know little on the Icarians, and thusly label them only as Xeno.)
Description:
The minimal height for an adult Icarian is six feet. They rarely grow above eight. Icarians are strange in their appearence, they appear vaguely Humanoid, having blue eyes and white blood. They also have fangs and sharper teeth, they have extreme telepathic potental. The full appearence of an Icarian at this time is unknown. To most every race, with the exceptions of the Progenitors and the Old Ones.
Stats:
Icarians have a natural 16 in Str (due to their low gravity world) a 14 in Int (Due to superor education to most races) and a 4 in Agil (Due to their height and weight) and finally, an 8 in Char. (Icarians are supriseingly charismatic.)

Progenitor:Currently unknown to be alive by most races. (These are not playable.)
Description:
Not much is known about the Progenitors, they are now a race of Cybernetic beings, who are thought to be all but dead shortly after their war with the Old Ones. They had to shed their biological bodies and all hopes of reproduction in order to survive. Their mangled biological bodies are a mock up of the once great race that now inhabit them. The Progenitors are the technological superors of this galaxy. They can create life at will via the use of advanced technology. This ability alone renders them as Gods, but they have technologies that allows them to cause a sun to Super Nova, and more vile technologies. They can build entire Planets, form Stars Water and so on. They brought life to this Galaxy, possibly as a final parting gift to existance. However they have returned, and wish to conqure this Galaxy. And the one after that, and the one after that.
Stats:
98 to Str 120 to Int 80 to Agil and 1 to Char.
