Space RTD
Having only recently discovered RTDs, I've fallen in lust with them. Thus, I've decided to start my own.
This one will not be one where you can will yourself into having magical abilities. Having said that, some stuff like that can happen if given some sort of reasonable-for-a-fantasy reason occurs.
The setup: It's around 2150 AD and Humans have gotten well into space and run across a few alien civilizations. The Aliens, for the most part, don't give a crap about Humanity. Humans basically don't have any interesting technology and produce nothing of real value that anyone has any interest in. It seems like there might be a lot of alien races out there, but Humans just haven't run into them a lot and no Aliens seem interested enough in Humans to bother saying much to them.
Still, Humans have picked up on a few things, notably in the arena of space travel. There are a lot of spaceships now, and Humans are busy trying to colonize a few worlds and basically expand.
You are in a transport ship headed to a distant planet. It's a fairly large ship, and you have been traveling for about 6 months. I need from you:

General appearance:Do not tell me what you want for equipment, that will be handled with a dice roll. Note that no one will have any projectile or laser weapons, as it would be terminally stupid to fire one inside of a pressurized shuttle.
