OOC: The Axis

Yep, I had this idea, yeah... For a sci-fi RP, yeah... Something like star wars or star trek or something... So the basic setting is...

There's a great big galaxy, recently discovered by human kind. Humans were greatly surprised as this new discovery, as many of them doubted the existance of other intelligent life forms... Up till now. They have established an outpost and further explored this new area. They have learned that the "local" races do all of their negotiating and such on a kind of space station. In that station, each race has it's section, where that race's representatives live during their stay. Traders and freelancers often visit the station, known as the Core, looking for means of profit. Around every twelve Terran years, a new President of the Core is elected. After learning the Common Language, humans have recently been given their section on the Core and if all goes well, their negotiating skills will let them join the High Council - maybe even take the seat of President of the Core.

Among those protesting against the humans joining the High Council is the insectoid race called Kt'Kr.
Standing six feet tall, these six limbed bipeds have tough chitin armour, but tend to be pretty weak otherwise. This means that although it's hard to hurt one, they're quite unlikely to survive when the armor is pierced. Clothing is only worn by the leaders and the military (if you count extra armor as clothing). They don't tend to live long - officially the oldest Kt'Kr died at the age of 63 Terran years, with the average Kt'Kr lifespan at 49. They live in complexes similar to an anthill, only much larger and more complex.

The Kt'Kr dwell on three sister planets - Deimos, Dauros and Dios - which orbit around eachother in an interesting way. The Deian, Dian and Dauran Kt'Kr are at constant war ever since they found ways of transportation between the three planets. The Kt'Kr representatives reside in the Core as three separate races for for circa 70 Terran years now.

The Kt'Kr military has the greatest infantry in the universe, partly because of their unbelievable numbers. Their soldiers have certain unique abilities.
Dian: their lower arms are replaced with wings
Deian: they're extremely fast runners and have lots of thorns all over their bodies
Dauran: they spit acid that burns through all known metals and chitin, but nothing else

Special abilities: +1 Strength and Dexterity, -1 Charisma and Endurance, resistance to radiation

There are many more races in the universe - feel free to design your own! Stuff like race's history and political situation (both local and on Core) greatly apreciated!

Here's Vadskye's contribution:

The Race of the Elenes

Appearance: Average height is 5 feet. They are humanoid, but smaller.
Their skin has a brownish tint, but albinos exist. Body hair is minimal,
but they have a large amount on the top of their head. Hair is usually a
dark color, such as brown or black. Because of their rather dark coloring,
they usually wear bright clothing. Clothing is two-piece, and they use
undergarments just as humans do. Dark clothing is considered formal.

Their Planet: Mostly covered by land. The water in their oceans is pure,
but it is in danger of pollution. For this reason, certain shorelines are
designated ?Drinkable? or ?Polluted? accordingly. The terrain is mostly
flat except for the Great Elenial Mountains that ring the entire planet on
the equator. Unlike Terra (Earth's name in the future), the planet only has
two plates which are divided equally into the Northern and Southern
hemispheres. Travel between the two hemispheres is limited. The northern
hemisphere is called Silta, and the southern hemisphere is called Falest.

Their History: The first Elene was (created/evolved/whatever your beliefs
are) around 2000PC* years ago. They developed fire around 1800PC, and metal
about 1500PC. The first organized army came 1000PC, led by the great Lynda
Tsul. He conquered all of Silta, but was assassinated year 945PC. All this
time, Falest had been peaceful and their scientists were close to
discovering how to harness electricity. Unfortunately, the great leader and
madman Bekvan Wuld started a campaign to conquer all of Falest. He was
finally killed in 867PC but he had a unique habit of completely decimating
anything he had conquered and so he had destroyed most of the hemisphere.
The huge recovery cost sapped Falest's resources for the next 500 years,
setting back the scientific progress by nearly a millenium. Nothing of much
importance happened until 87PC, when democracy was introduced. It failed
abysmally and was never tried again. Then they tried communism, but that
was even worse. Finally in 2PC a famed rock climber in Silta decided to
climb the Great Mountains. It took him a year to cross, but he eventually
reached Falest and was astounded to find the state of peace that Falest had
remained in; Silta had been at war nearly all of the 800 years. This marked
the first contact between Silta and Falest. They both were amazed at the
other country. Soon contact became more commonplace and the systems
that both countries had used were combined into one. They continued to
improve together, and Silta had its last war in 1000 UW. Scientific
progress skyrocketed and so did corruption. Over the past 2000 years the
Elenes have become a sneaky race that uses thievery as often as honest
business to gain riches. Their technology is very advanced, including
cloaking devices in their large arsenal.

*The system is set from the first contact between the Hemispheres.
PC is pre-contact, and UW is Unified World, which is after contact. The
years and minutes and such are curiously identical to Earth's. This has
sparked a spirited debate over alien intervention. The current date is 3004
UW.*

Special abilities: +1 Intelligence and Dexterity, -1 Charisma and Strength.
Cloaking: Ships used by the Elenes may run in Stealth mode, rendering them
undetectable by sensors. Visual contact may still be made however. When
weapons are fired, the ship becomes "visible" for a few seconds.


All races and characters are described by a few... numbers, as you've probably noticed. The stats are:
Strength
Endurance
Agility
Intelligence
Charisma

These are only vague guidelines to show how much better or worse you're in any of those than another character.

The Human race starts out with zero in all of them, which means that they aren't particularly good or bad in any of those.

You can move up to two points from one stat to another however, to make your character unique. So an example character would be:

Name: Mr. Someone
Race: Human
Job (optional): Bounty hunter
Strength: 1
Endurance: 1
Agility: 0
Intelligence: 0
Charisma: -2

Feel free to design your own races!

EDIT: Since I'll be leaving for a week, I'm leaving this OOC only.

Erion Vadskye
Race: Elene
Job: Lone Ranger type of guy.  Think Chaotic Good.  He's got a bit of a reputation.  Shoots the badguys, but he's not all that compassionate. Not gonna give money to the person on the street, but he might shoot the guy who put 'em there.  This might change over the course of the story though...
Strength: 1
Endurance: 0
Agility: 1
Intelligence: 1
Charisma:-3 (ouch!  Nobody's gonna like this guy!)

He does own a custom-built Elene Starrunner, equipped with cloaking and two Helblaster Laser cannons (strong.  Very strong)and a rotating high-speed AF (Anti-Fighter) gun.  (Fast.  Very Fast.)

When on foot, he carries a small concussion gun, a collapsable sniper rifle, and a laser handgun.  He has great marksmanship.

I'd like to submit my race

The Roki (Row-Ky)


History: They were once a very intellegent humanoid species. In fact, their intellengence caused them to become what they are today. Millions of years ago, they developed weapons so strong, they were capable of destroying entire continents. In the great war, these weapons were used. Continents were blown apart and billions of Roki were killed. Radioactive elements caused the planet to change, along with the people. The people became more taller, their skin becae like rocks. Their Muscles swelled. While the physical changes were in a better part, their brains shrank. Over millions of years, the once Intellegent humanoid species, became dumb, lumbering peices of rock. For millions of years they fought each other for food, cannibalism was a major role. Only as recent as 1000 years ago, a great leader named Ra'shatal united the speicies, forming a semi civilized race. Science once again takes a major role.  A primitive government wasin the making, but with every government comes rebels. These rebels played on the fears and dumb knowledge of the rest of the Roki. Support increased for the rebels. A Civil war was on the verge of happenening. Then, Humans came and attempted to rob the planet of its rich mineral ores. Ra'esteh, the great-great-great grandson of Ra'shatal united the rebels and the rest of the Roki, to fight the human invaders off.

Apperance: The average roki is 10 feet tall. Their skin color is varied, from Marble white to black. It has the texture of rocks. Their muscles are like boulders, they possess incredible strength and endurance. The Ren Roki are smaller, more gentle, and intellegent type of Roki, but they are still large compared to most other species. Most are around 7 feet tall, and their muscles are still relativly large.

Planet: Once as beautiful as earth, it is now a volcanic, rocky wasteland.

Society: They travel in semi-civilized packs. They have knowledge of Fire, they bury their dead, both parents care for the young, they hunt in packs, and have a basic strategic knowledge. A Secluded bunch lives in the southmost part of the world, they are called Fire Roki. They are neutral, and it is rumored that they possess all the intellegence of their humanoid ancestors. They are called Fire roki for they live in the extreme tempertures of volcanos. The Ren Roki are the ones who attempt forms of government, and order.

Special Abilities: +2 to Strength and Endurance, -2 to Intellegence and Agility. Immune to Fire and lightning and most chemicals/radioactive stuff/poison. Most guns do not harm these lumbering beasts. If you are hit by one of their fists, you are lucky to survive. Most are rendered unconcious for hours.


My Character:
Ra'Esteh
Race: Ren Roki
Strength: 0
Endurance:0
Intellegence:1
Agility: -2
Charisma: 1

The La-Ta

The La-Ta are a humanoid race that stand about four feet tall. They have pale pink skin and hair colours can be any colour in the rainbow.
They have two pairs of diaphanous wings on their backs (think mosquito-type wings), and are capable of flight and hovering.
They have large oval shaped eyes and their ears come to long points.
They are also fearless fighters and VERY aggressive. They are quick to anger and can't go for long without taking a weapon and hitting someone. Usually hitting another La-Ta with another La-Ta!

They live in a binary system with 13 planets, 6 of which are inhabited by the La-Ta. They call it Home Prime, other races refer to it as 'The Asylum' system.
They are a clan culture and there are about 30 clans spread thoughout the 6 planets of Home Prime.

Dealings with the La-Ta:
The La-Ta do hold a seat on the Core's governing council, but they rarely send a representative. When they do, it is rotated through the clan's various clan leaders - making for very chaotic government, so the rest of the Core usually ignores them, but politely!!!

My character:

Name - Wee Gordy.
Stats - Strength: 0
Endurance: +1
Agility: 0
Intelligence: -1
Charisma: 0

Wee Gordy is a young La-Ta, who was originally picked to be one of Clan Skullthumper's bards, as he shows above average intelligence for a La-Ta. But he preferred drinking and fighting to learning and singing, so he stole his father's ship and has come to the Core looking adventure, a drink and a fight.

Race Name: The Esprit (pronounced es-pree)

Description: A peaceful race, they are the foremost diplomats of the known universe and much prefer to negotiate rather than fight, due to their less than intimidating physical appearance. Though their technological prescence is vast, the Esprit have not used their advances for war. They do, however, use it to defend themselves if desperate times arise, and the threat of that yet unrevealed defense has kept invaders away thus far. Legends have far overblown the defense capabilities of the single planet on which they reside, a small, silver mass far from any other inhabited planet. About 5 billion Esprit exist in all.

Many Esprit have come and gone from the high council, and the race heavily opposes the addition of humans to the council due to their lack of specialized skills. The humans' average nature has put them out of most Esprits' favor, but there are still a few who believe that they could rise to the occasion if given a chance on the council. The latter group's numbers have been dwindling as of late, though.

Appearance: The Esprit are not a large or strong race, and instead rely on negotiation and mind games to avoid war. They measure about 3 feet and have four arms and two legs. The race as a whole is very thin and very quick if needs be, but they do not often find themselves in situations where they need to flee. Their heads are large and bulbous (the neck is the only muscular part of an Esprit) and their eyes are large and ink-black. An Esprit rarely shows emotion, even though they feel it very keenly.

Special Abilities: Immune to most psychological effects, can outsmart most anyone all of the time, mildly telepathic (can move, but not lift, small objects).

Standard Stats:
Strength: -2
Endurance: -2
Agility: 1
Intelligence: 2
Charisma: 1


Character Name: Alistair

Description: High Council member, one of the leading opponents against humans joining the council. Alstair is very arrogant and very cunning, and is a politician to the core. Avoiding confrontation seems to come naturally to him, even though his disposition should land him in trouble all the time. He is a hero among his race for his intergalactic successes.

Strength: -2
Endurance: -2
Agility: 0
Intelligence: 2
Charisma: 2

Look good, Woock?

@Shadowcaster: about the President, High Council and lower council - I saw those as something similar to the kind of democratic government we see here and now. Still, you can be creative about the way this stuff works as long as it's more or less democratic.

New race created.

I alluded to an unmentioned race in my post - The Dorfl.
They are 7 ft high yellow beings that have onion shaped bodies with three arms in a 180 degree arc on the front of their torso.
They also have 3 eyestalks protruding from this body, as they have no heads. They have long prehensile ant-eater type noses and tiny mouths. They have shrill whirring voices.
They are not particularly agressive, but very strong, able to lift 3 times their body weight easily.
Any other ideas for them would be welcome.

Ladies and gentlemen, meet ... the
Xorda, funky pink and purple brainazoids with one jaundiced eye
and many tentacles.  It's pronounced "Ecch!-orda."

Thrice millennia past" (that's 3,000
years ago for the less-pretentious among us) an Ecch!-ordian
landed on planet Earth and got the usual reception from hyoomons.  They captured us and disected us.  That made us quite pissed.  We decided to retaliate against them by blasting sets of Gene Bombs on the planet.  Some hyoomons survived though and jump-started their exsistence again.  When we found of their wish to join the council we remembered what they had done...and then realized what a half-assed job we did.  We are against the hyoomons but the council will not let us blow them up again.

Name: Reeechhh-eeeeeccch
Race: Zorda
Job (optional): Scientist and historian
Strength: 1
Endurance: 0
Agility: 2
Intelligence: 5
Charisma: -4 (They're ugly lookin critters, what do you expect?)

pecial features:  They speak via brain waves.  They are extremely inteligent but freakin ugly and too controling.  They wish to be the dominating species and their one wish is to torture and disect the entire human race.
Everyone else thinks we are nothing but a demented race of freaks.  The only thing they like about us are our nifty inventions.

Edit:  There, is that any better?  The Xorda are extremely smart so I'm not sure what the number should be.  I lowered the strength and lowered the charisma.
