This is gonna get very interesting pretty quick, I can feel it.

Me too.
So are we going to have a rank system in place?

Spoiler: Sheet in full (click to show/hide)

Name: Sera "S4" Spero

Species: Umain

Personal Description//Species Description: Sera is of humanoid in shape--measuring about 1 and a half meters in height. Sera's body is comprised of lightweight alloys protecting the general thoracic and abdominal region as well as the extremities, while the rest is a covering mesh of synthetic fibers weaved along with the alloy plating to make a smooth and form-fitting outline.

The Umain are one of the newer encounters in the known universe: rarely encountered alone, and seemingly reclusive when separated from their kin. As a people, they are community-oriented as a society and very protective of each other, though in the current time this level of empathy has expanded to those they trust, including those in aid. They are generally described as both a hardy and a fragile race, able to survive in any atmosphere where a regular environmental suit would be required for any biological organism to enter alive, yet easily destroyed by moderate physical trauma and exposure to transient electromagnetic disturbances or radiated magnetic fields. In the current time, only one significant habitat has been encountered: a single ship the size of a small moon--knowingly termed as a ship by the first contacts due to its structural composition and on-board machinery. Though their current 'hiveship' is well documented, the true origins of the near-emotionless Umain are a mystery; it is known that the majority of their bodies are composed of biological and synthetic material, with the latter forming an exoskeleton over the former, which give the illusion of a silver-grey 'skin' with a metallic sheen, and that all Umain located outside of their hiveship are capable with the interface of general mechanics and servicing of interstellar craft. In record: they are aptly advanced in the fields of science and technology, philosophy and synthetic intelligence, seen as 'civilized lifeforms capable of understanding thorough and comprehensive speech and thought' during the species' first encounter.

An Umain {given as both the singular and plural form of the species} is relatively diurnal, requiring rest during varying portions of their time spent awake. Common to their species is a seeming determination acting as their driving force in all their actions, spurred on with tick-tock precision; from the first encounters until the current time, though thorough information regarding their race or their full capabilities have not yet been completed given their short length of introduction.

Personally, Sera is a stoic individual, yet was well-known by the individuals introducing her as a kind and compassionate being, loyal and willing to stand for what 'he' believes is right. Before this venture, Sera worked as an extra-atmospheric technician, and a part-time militia among one of the perimeter asteroid mining fields, sanctioned by the ruling authority in that region--though the region was well known for its notoriety in crime.


Skills/Abilities:

> Foresight: S4's visor contains a suite scanner availing the detection of organisms in the infrared and thermal spectrum, when the normative light spectrum fails.
> Mobility: 'Hooks' and grappling mechanisms, personal "gravity" stabilizers (utilizing magnetic forces, though termed as such for novelty) as well as an on-person propulsion module allows minute boosts of movement in an otherwise vulnerable position.
> Medicae: S4 has personally customized their function to be a limited-extension of the ship's medical station, with the ability to 'heal' organics in a moderate radius (~10 yards), which would interface with the on-tech catalogue of alien biology information collated and reform to sublimate with the specie in-situ.
> Marksmanship: Optical and parasympathetic nervous motor conduits stabilize aim at long ranges, allowing a greater magnitude of precision and accuracy with projectile weaponry.
> Personal weaponry: As a reputation for purveyors of technology, Sera's suit utilizes micro-thin energy fields, located near the wrist section; monomolecular blades accompanied by holographic outlining form for visibility of the user and any allies around, to work as weapons against foes. This also conveys short-ranged heat dispersion in the form of kinetic blows or very quick gouts of short lasting, highly volatile yet incendiary flame.
> Xenozoologist: Having a penchant in the field of biology and the inner mechanisms of each, widely known alien lifeform--the use of cross matching and identifying similarities and empirical data qualifies analysis of newly encountered life-forms.
> Autonomous: Sera only requires recharging with the ship's main power core, as well as occasional purging of chemicals after any exposure to the external environment.

Well, here goes.

Spoiler: KOLPADS (click to show/hide)

KOLPADS

APPEARANCE

Kolpads are humanoids who, as the years went on, grew more intelligent and small. They have very hard bones and thick plating over the head. Green in color. One-eyed and three-horned.

BEHAVIOR

Intelligent. Mostly interested in travel, nature, and science, of course. Pacifists.

Spoiler: CHARACTER (click to show/hide)

MINOGAD NINUK

BACKGROUND

After years of studies, Minogad became one of the more intellectual Kolpads, bearing great knowledge of nature and science. Was always quite a fast runner. Minogad joined the Dark Star exploration exhibition as a biologist, hoping to possibly expand his knowledge of nature and biology (and also to help the rest of the exploration team in studies, of course).

TRAITS

Racial Traits:

Head Plating: Hard plating covering head.

Intellect: Bears vast intelligence.

Skills:

Biology: Most intellectual in the field of biology.

Physicist: Also skilled in the area of physics and materials.

Other Things:

Hypherogmatisgatilagmatism: What humans refer to as OCD. Can't stand the look of a dirty room.

Cymadkamischism: Short-sightedness. Anything far away is blurry.

Likes/Dislikes:

Likes fresh air, doesn't like things spiraling out of control. Hates dirty things (see "Other Things").

I'm going to go over the characters we have so far and collate them. We have more than 12 listed on the thread, and I'm willing to expand but I must warn that some might not make the cut. I'll allow people to revise, since they may want to once we see the crew's collective skills/abilities.

[Dorsidwarf]

If you collate them in spoilers, can I suggest putting their primary job/purpose in the spoiler name, for easy reading/comprehension.?

[~Neri]

Basically characters need more specialties. Being a misc or janitor is not necessary. There is/are AI and drones to handle that among other things. Nobody is needed to replace light bulbs or clean slime. We need more scientists, an archeologist, a backup pilot that preferably has other skills, other engineers maybe, backup shuttle pilot. And other things.

[LuckyKobold]

Being a Janitor is to a specialty!

[heydude6]

honestly, I can imagine the janitor being a fun role to play. For example biologist spills some corrosive chemicals that threaten to burn a hole in the ship. There, that's an adventure. It is up to the janitor to stop it before it's too late.

 Also I find the idea of a snail as a janitor to be hilarious

[High tyrol]

If you want I can give you a list of chemicals my character knows how to extract or concoct I should probably tell you what stimulant he uses the most at the minimum

But a janitor who leaves behind an ironic slime trail is hardly within the tone. Anyway, we've set up the he's (somehow) a stowaway, and has capabilities besides that may convince the crew not to just eject him once found out.

[~Neri]

There's an AI to handle mundane tasks like cleaning. The ship needs scientists. Not grunts.

1+

Well, to be fair this is a suicide mission.

Also, I thought that my character has at least some Archeology skills.

[~Neri]

A suicide mission that doesn't need grunts eating life support.

What about the Hovercraft on the Character Sheet?
