Name: Shamus Adversi

Spoiler: species (click to show/hide)

An insectoid alien with 4 arms 2 legs, a pair of wings, a pair of compound eyes, green and red chitin. Shamus is part of an alien species that evolved on a planet with very low gravity. Since departing that planet to join Eugenocorp he noticed that his increased weight made him too heavy for his wings to let him fly.  He now must walk like the rest of the aliens on his team. The increased gravity also causes him to be a bit light headed resulting in him acting a bit more stupider although the leap in intelligence from normal gravity to low gravity is quite impressive.

Spoiler: abilities (click to show/hide)

Ambidextrous

Glide: can flutter wings very rapidly to slow down rate of falling on non-heavy gravity non-vaccum environments

Dust storm: In areas with loose soil, Shamus can flutter his wings very hard kicking up a dust cloud which obscures an enemies vision

Low gravity flight: In VERY low gravity, non vaccum environments shamus can fly
                       
Exoskeleton: hard shell on the outside, small squishy vital organs on the inside (you can make this whatever you want)
                       
Inefficient  Blood: Will suffocate much quicker than an average alien

Spoiler: skills/backstory (click to show/hide)

Shamus was a mere drone in his hive destined to live a wonderful but short life. He lived a life of mostly laziness and eating until one day the queen needed his services. Aware of what was going to happen to him Shamus abandoned his hive and tried to live on his own. The first problems that shamus encountered in the wild was that he actually had to get his own food. "To hell with that!!" he thought so Shamus decided to wander around until he found a hunk of meat lying on the ground. What he didn't know was that the meat was part of a trap the scientists from Eugenocorp had set. And like that he was captured.

Shamus was shipped to planet nerube where he gravity was much heavier. In captivity Shamus was fed and cared for, although he did have to handle a few brutal experiments. Once the IQ tests concluded that Shamus was sapient and sentient, interstellar laws and regulations forced him to be released. But Shamus didn't want to go, back there he was fed and cared for and he couldn't imagine having to go back to the life he once had. So Shamus filed a lawsuit to (insert name of science company here) under the claim that they kidnapped him from his hive preventing him from mating with his queen and therefore leading to the extinction of his species and ruining his way of life. Shamus was arguing that he should be fed 200lbs of Filet Mignon a day in order to make up for kidnapping him. The judge instead ruled that Shamus would be given an internship and then full-time job at Eugenocorp for whatever job he wanted. Shamus chose a job that would put his 4 arms to the most use and so he became a mechanic.

Thing is, Eugenocorp didn't need a mechanic but they couldn't fire him due to court order. So after his internship was done Eugenocorp took the first opportunity to get rid of him and sent Shamus to the dark star as his first job as a full time employee.

Spoiler: Ship (click to show/hide)

The science company had very little expectations for this journey but on the off-chance that there was indeed something on the other side they did not want the ship to be destroyed by whatever was there. So what they did to reduce costs was to create a ship that would pay for itself. The Starcrafting Surveyor (S.S for short) was designed to travel to planets and asteroids to harvest and process resources from which were then able to be used to upgrade the ship into a true explorer vessel. It is currently outfitted with 2 pew pew lasers, a machine bay, a drilling rig, manufacturing bay, and a material processor in addition to all of the basic necessities. Certain structures such as the laboratory were designed to be manufactured on ship and then added on once the necessary resources were found.

((It's a colab of a number of governments i think.))

Ship may or may not have centrifugal gravity (or it might be light enough for him to fly. It remains to be decided, and it's up to you guys.

Name:  Indigo Diadem
Gender: Female
Race:  Bond-Hearts. A race who bonds with other races native to their planet. They under go two unique changes when their partner dies and they become adults. The first is they develop a certain love for what killed their bond-mate that borders on self-destructive. The second is they take on prominent features of their bond-mate's species, such as aquatic bond-mates giving their bond-heart aquatic features. Indigo's bondmate was a variety of giant flying lizard that can breath fire. Indigo has since gained a scaly red hide on parts of her body, claws, clawed digitrade feet, and the ability to sip small amounts of what we would compare to Wildfire.

Traits:  Positively axe crazy and tough enough to back it up. A neat master of inducing fear and fighting in close range combat.

How about I take care of protecting the ship eh?

Looks a bit humanish. What does this race look like when not bonded?

[Nunzillor]

I'll have a sheet in one day.

All Bond-Hearts until bonded resemble what one would call a 'little grey man' Once they bond they metamorphose into a form similar to their bond-mate with bipedal leanings toward their old form. And finally when the bond-mate dies they change towards a form somewhere between an optomised form for dealing with what killed the bond-mate and... well... their bond-mate.

They resemble the stereotypical little gray man due to their bond heart, the organ the allows them to sense the 'bond-web' and kick starts their amazing metamorphosis.

[blazing glory]

Intrigued, there a player limit?

I'm in support of no NPC's.

[WillowLuman]

I may cut it off if a huge amount of people join, but as of right now we could use more people.

[kj1225]

So, I finished the sheet.

Also, I like CD's ship idea but maybe with it being a modular design similar to the one game with the Ur-Qan.

[WillowLuman]

Looks okay, but there's one thing that perhaps everyone should mention. What job/responsibilities would the character have in the expedition/on the ship? Yours seems primarily combat oriented.

Which also brings up the point of how the chain of command will be structured, who if anyone has authority (and over what), etc.

[LuckyKobold]

I SHALL JOIN, Also I'll use one of the character races I made in the Sci-Fi book in I'm Writing, GIANT SNAILS AHOY!

[~Neri]

Modular is fine, however it's gotta be big for an AI to use it as a body.

[kj1225]

My chwracter might be a/the security officier?

[WillowLuman]

Sounds about right for her, given the "protect the ship" bit and her apparent involvement in putting down rebels.

Modular is fine, however it's gotta be big for an AI to use it as a body.

Give us a ballpark? I'm thinking "somewhat smaller than an ocean liner" at the moment.

[Pencil_Art]

That's.... quite a general size.
