  In the Wyllt Galaxy the first race to achieve space travel were the Peras. Expanding their horizons by creating new methods of crossing vast distances and filling multiple star systems with colonies of their own, they began to encounter new sentient species around the galaxy. To keep peace amongst the various lifeforms in the galaxy, an organization was formed. The Galactic Coalition.
  
  The Galactic Coalition consists of four species, encompassing their homeworlds and their collective space colonies. In the interest of keeping peace and promoting relations between the allied races, a combined exploration and military force was created dubbed simply as the Coalition Corps. Since then, other branches of service have emerged but none have ever had the glamor or recognition the Corps have received.
  
  The Ouranos, the Coalition's latest flagship, is set to make its maiden voyage after having docked at a base in the Peras system to collect the remainder of its crew. Even given the light air about the event, rumors have begun to spread over the increased Corps presence on the edges of Coalition space. With the recent loss of the past flagship, Elanus, three years ago under mysterious circumstances one thought is prevalent amongst many. This is the onset of war.
  
• 
  
  Training at the Coalition Corps Academy is completed within three years with an additional year of mandatory service on a Coalition starship. Any wishing to be a part of the Corps, regardless of age, is accepted so long as they pass an entrance exam and follow through with several other standard requirements. Students concentrate on one area of field of which they will find their skills to be put to best use. Upon graduation, students have the option of either serving on a starship under the command of an officer or transfer to one of the Coalition’s many facilities and colonies to work among the best the Coalition has to offer. Note: Perhaps if the Corps focused on their own duties rather than interfering with the Coalition's other branches they would not be so notorious amongst those in Intelligence.

  Peras
  
  The Peras are an ancient species with appearances and body composition nearly identical to that of humans. Early Peras culture is by far the most violent of all the other species of the galaxy and possibly the universe with several periods where they had nearly experienced total planet annihilation. Much of their history is lost due to the constant destruction of each previous generation but somehow, they had managed to evolve beyond their violent tendencies and become the first species to accomplish space travel. Their homeworld, Pando, has a higher gravity than that of the planet Earth leaving the Peras to be somewhat physically superior to humans.
  
  All economic, medical, and political crises have been eliminated from their homeworld and have been for three hundred years. The Peras have a varied culture and are, more often than not, altruistic in nature. However, in the galactic community, they are often seen as self-righteous and arrogant. Note: They seem a little stiff to me. Maybe it's because I've never seen one get drunk. Can they get drunk?
  
  Other notable characteristics:
  
  • Peras are more resistant than the other species to temperature extremes.
  • Capable of mating with the other three species but the resultant offspring is almost always a Peras.
  • Through touch, Peras are capable of gaining emphatic insight on another.
  Homeworld: Pando
  Average Lifespan: 300 years.
  Aging Rate: Slow.
  Compatible Species: Setesh, Varuna, Maraku.
  
  -----------------------------------
  
  Setesh
  
  The Setesh are a race of humanoids that look similar to the Peras. Every member of the species is bound with a symbiotic organism at birth known as the Ryve. The Setesh, were a naturally aggressive race and before the binding with the Ryve they were doomed to fight amongst each other until they caused their own extinction. A thousand years have passed since the two species entered their symbiotic relationship.
  
  The Ryve attach to the brain of the Setesh, being carried through spores naturally found on their homeworld. Only the Setesh are capable of becoming hosts for the Ryve. They are able to communicate directly into the brains of their host often making suggestions that would be mutually beneficial for both species.
  
  A single Ryve symbiote attaches to the brain of the host Setesh and causes several symptoms to occur:
  
  • A lowering of the high levels of aggression normally found in the Setesh.
  • Setesh gain immunity to nearly every known mental and psychological disorder known in the galaxy.
  • High resistance against uninvited telepathic communication.
  • Due to certain new chemicals running through the veins of the Setesh their veins glow with a bluish-green tint in the dark.
  On their own, the Setesh have a high regard for honor although the definition of “honor” changes on an individual basis. In earlier times, the Setesh gave harsher punishments for those abandoning their military positions than they did murder. To some degree, this mindset still remains as they have a strong distaste for cowardice.
  
  Ryve
  
  The Ryve cannot be separated from their hosts without death of both organisms. The Ryve are extremely intelligent and reach maturity from the spores from which they grow within one month. Only one member of their species binds with their host, attaching directly to the brain. Though they are capable of speaking to their host directly into their mind, they are silent more often than not. Though possible for the Ryve to take complete control of their host’s body this is only done when the host is knocked unconscious and is in immediate danger due to the massive increase of potentially fatal metabolism this causes. The Ryve have no concepts of love, hate, greed, or most emotions the Setish possess and are thus creatures of logic who wish little more than the continued survival of themselves and their hosts. Note: Creepy but useful. I had nightmares for several days after seeing an autopsy of one of these back at the Academy.
  
  Homeworld: Seten
  Average Lifespan: 120 years.
  Aging Rate: Normal.
  Compatible Species: Peras, Maraku.
  
  -----------------------------------
  
  Varuna
  
  The Varuna are a peaceful species, perhaps due in part to their long lifespans, with a very strong urge to avoid confrontation. Note: Being peaceful does not equate to weakness. They have a great respect for life no matter how vile it may be but they are more than willing to bring someone to the brink of death in defense of themselves or another.
  
  Of the four members of the Coalition the Varuna are the easiest to tell apart from the other races due to their skin colors. Water accounts for just over 80% of their homeworld’s surface with most of the life found within being various forms of brightly colored coral and plankton. This has caused the Varuna to evolve with similarly colored skin to blend with their surroundings, shades of green or blue skin being the most common color to appear in their species.
  
  Varuna culture has given the species a high respect for lawful conduct and a strong sense of community.
  
  Other unique traits include:
  
  • Webbed feet. Note: Unknown why they developed legs in the first place.
  • Highly developed eyes that allow the Varuna to see in darkness and detect thermal signatures.
  • A second pair of “lungs” with the sole purpose of drawing oxygen out of water to allow for indefinite travels underwater.
  • High resistance to changes of pressure.
  Homeworld: Telisto
  Average Lifespan: 600 years.
  Aging Rate: Very slow.
  Compatible Species: Peras.
  
  -----------------------------------
  
  Maraku
  
  The Maraku homeworld is under a permanent windstorm. The windy weather and sub-Earth gravity made it possible for humanoids to evolve in such a way that flight became a natural reality for the Maraku species. Travel by air was faster than travel by land due to the heavily uneven terrain of their planet. Maraku are hunters, carnivores, and rely on a strict diet of meat to survive.
  
  The Maraku people are the newest of the races to enter the Coalition, entering three decades after the Setesh. They are a highly intelligent race, albeit a young one, that have grown in a culture that preaches a high degree of individuality and self-reliance.
  
  Features of note:
  
  • Two feathered wings, usually colored brown or gray, attached to the back. Easily collapsible to fit under most standard clothing without causing any unwanted bulges.
  • Maraku who engage in physically demanding activities often wear padded suits. The ease of bone breakage occurring due to their low bone density makes this necessary. Note: Being lighter than the other species results in higher natural agility and top running speed.
  • Maraku have high stamina because of their increased lung capacity but lower physical strength than the other species.
  • Maraku have excellent near and far sight.
  Homeworld: Tyche
  Average Lifespan: 200 years.
  Aging Rate: Slow.
  Compatible Species: Peras, Setesh.
  
  -----------------------------------
  
  Xen
  
  A race of cybernetic organisms that have advanced rapidly for their short period of existence. They originate from Pando, having been created for the sole purpose of seeking out planets suitable for colonization and the terraformation of worlds in preparation for future Peras settlements. Soon after the Xen were sent on their mission, having started out as vaguely humanoid androids, global war errupted on Pando and the Xen were forgotten for nine centuries.
  
  Before the beginning of the Galactic Coalition, the Xen had settled on a world they called Xhan. At some point in time a Coronal Mass Ejection from one of the stars in their binary system hit Xhan and caused heavy damage to the long-term memories of the Xen wiping out much of their knowledge of Pando save for the fact that their creators had abandoned them.
  
  When the Peras had began their exploration of new worlds the Xen were the first to reach out. Much of the information between the reestablishing of contact between the Peras and Xen was lost. Xen extremists attacked a science vessel and evidently used their bodies for research on making the Xen part biotic. The reasons for this are unknown and despite no further violence from the Xen and the extradition of those responsible for the attack to Pando for a trial, the Xen were never truly forgiven. As such, the Xen were never allowed entrance into the Coalition. Note: With good reason. Forced integration of our DNA with their mechanical bodies? They never gave us a reason to trust them. We're only lucky they haven't bothered to attack the other species to "upgrade" their biotic components. They look like one of us Peras now. Almost. Their features are too "perfect" and are easily distinguished from an organic for my people.
  
  Intel:
  
  • The Xen only require sleep once a week. The stamina of the Xen is higher than that of the most physically fit member of the Coalition races.
  • Xen are capable of communication with each other by sending high band EM pulses to each other. In layman terms, the mechanical equivalent of telepathy. This ability can be used to control compatible electronics.
  • "Hacking" a Xen has proven to be virtually impossible. Their kind possesses the greatest knowledge and innate skill in computer security of any known species.
  • Xen are no stronger than the average Peras, Varuna, Setesh, or Maraku. A side effect of being a cybernetic race. However, their metallic skeletons have proven to be far more durable than an organic's.
  • Xen have no issues seeing in the darkness and have augmented memories allowing them to recall any detail perfectly. It is likely their other senses have been augmented as well.
  • In their bloodstream are nanites which serve to heal their wounds rapidly. A Xen can recover from a broken "bone" in hours and lacerations in minutes. Most toxins have no effect on the Xen as a result.
  • The Xen are particularly vulnerable to plasma weapons. Even grazing shots can seriously harm them and prevent them from healing normally.
  • Unsurprisingly, they cannot swim. Their mechanical components make them just dense enough to sink in water. Given that they do require a minimal amount of air to survive, being stuck in the middle of an ocean would be lethal to a Xen.
  Homeworld: Xhan
  Average Lifespan: 300 years. Need more information as to why it is not indefinite.
  Aging Rate: No visible aging once maturity is reached.
  Compatible Species: Hopefully none.
  
• 
  
  Translators – Naturally, all the species in the galaxy do not speak the same language. In the effort of keeping communication simple, a translator with a database of all known languages is implanted into all those who engage in space travel. New languages can be patched into the translators at any time once sufficiently analyzed. Note: Some words don't have a translation. I learned that the hard way on Seten after the aftermath of a very violent misunderstanding.
  
  Pyres – Handheld devices carried by security personnel in the Coalition. Though their official name is “Personal Radiation Emitters” the name Pyre stuck due to a setting on the device that acts as a heating beam. Typically used for their primary setting, a concussive stunning beam.
  
  Gravity Rails – The fastest mode of travel in the galaxy. By compressing space in front of a vessel and expanding the space behind it, a vessel can travel far faster than light can by simply traveling a fraction of the distance from Point A to Point B. The only limitation is that one “Gravity Station” had to be constructed in order to launch a ship and another Gravity Station had to be present at the endpoint of the journey in order to stop the ship. The Peras have spent hundreds of years traveling to various locations around the galaxy and constructing thousands of such devices.
  
  Tachyon Drives – The most common method of achieving superluminal (faster-than-light) travel with a starship. All but the most recent ships come with these equipped. Tachyon Drives also serve as the general power source for the vessel.
  
  Superluminal Bursts – The method of travel Tachyon Drives achieve to reach faster-than-light speeds. Though not nearly as fast as Gravity Rails, even slow Superluminal Bursts—often just called Bursts—can traverse a solar system in minutes.
  
  Aether Drives – The newest form of power source found only in the most advanced ships in the galaxy. Little is known about these drives. Note: The fundamentals behind these are not even understood by engineers working with these on the field. Apparently it's a secret known only to the highest officials in the Coalition.
  
• 
  Pyre – Made by the Peras. Originally named the "Personal Radiation Emitter" before taking the colloquial name "Pyre" due to its secondary setting, the Pyre is a collapsable pistol often used by security or crew memebers expecting to enter low-danger environments. The Pyre has two settings. The first fires a concussive beam of low-intensity plasma meant to stun or incapacitate a target. The second setting is fires a beam of intense heat. The primary setting is incapable of penetrating shields and armor while the secondary setting drains the Pyre's power reserves quickly making it ill-suited for combat.
  
  AER – Developed by the Peras. The AER is a pistol that fires bolts of plasma. Recoil from these discharges is almost nonexistant. The AER is a standard weapon with almost limitless applications due to its moderate effectiveness against all kinds of targets. The AER was made to be the combat-ready equivalent of the Pyre and, as such, delivers a much higher damage output than its smaller cousin.
  
  Soldano – An older rifle developed by the Setesh. Due to its versatility and reliability, the Soldano has remained in service for years after its introduction into the Coalition Corps. The Soldano is a semi-automatic rifle that fires extremely powerful rounds capable of piercing through most armor. The effectiveness of the Soldano is greatly reduced when put against shields however its high stopping power makes it an excellent choice against anything else.
  
  Kemper – A shotgun made by the Maraku that, like the HESU, fires ionic bursts. The spread and distance of the spray of ionic "pellets" can be adjusted by holding the trigger down at different lengths of time. A quick pull-and-release of the trigger fires a short-range wide spread of particulate. Holding down the trigger for a longer period of time before releasing creates a more concentrated spread over a longer distance.
  
  Trem-Blade – A powerful cutting tool developed by the Varuna for use underwater. Unlike plasma torches which require protection to use, the Trem-Blade's edge is operates at room temperature. When the switch at the handle is pressed, the Trem-Blade's blade materializes. The blade can cut through most materials with ease and, with its high frequency energy, can phase through shields with no effort.
  
  HESU – Created by the Maraku to be a weapon light enough to fly with with next to no recoil, the HESU is perfect for mobile combat and providing cover fire. The HESU is a fully automatic rifle that fires small ionic bursts rather than bullets. While this reduces its effectiveness against heavy armor, the HESU is a powerful tool in taking down shields quickly and still works well against unarmored targets.
  
  Laney – A Setesh sniper rifle meant to push the limits of recoil-dampening technology. The Laney is a hybrid between a railgun and the more traditional firearm. With the sheer amount of kinetic energy behind a single round fired from this weapon, even shielded and armored targets stand little chance of surviving a shot from the Laney. The Laney has a maximum range of 25 kilometers (15.5 miles) however the curvature of planets and the hundreds of factors needed to be taken into account making such a shot, even with targeting assistance, is nigh-impossible. The Laney is restricted for use by Security personnel only.
  
  Emissary – Quint's personal firearm. Developed by the Coalition as an alternative to the AER for Intelligence operatives. Offers a greater "punch" than the AER at the cost of greater energy expenditure. The Emissary is undetectable through weapons scans making it the firearm of choice for being a concealed gun...despite its size.

  1. Generic rules apply (KHV’s rules, no godmodding, and no powerplaying).
  
  2. For now, you can have up to three characters. Only one per species.
  
  3. Hybrid characters are allowed. “Compatible species” listed above simply refers to which races other races can produce children with.
  
  4. To keep it simple, hybrid characters only display traits from one parent.
  
  5. No, your character can’t be good at everything but that doesn’t mean they can only be good at one thing. Keep your character’s skills reasonable.
  
  6. Your character does not have to be part of the Corps but the RP will center on the ship they will be traveling on. If your character lives on some distant colony with no reason for the Corps to show up, you will have a bad time.
  
  7. Please message me if you have any questions or concerns about this RP. Whether it’s on help joining or on making a post.
  
  8. Feel free to take influence from the realm of sci-fi to help your posts. This RP has taken influence from Star Trek, Mass Effect, and a handful of other things.
  
  9. Going with rule 8, some of the more fantastical pieces of technology from something like Star Trek simply don’t exist. I. E. There are no teleporters or food replicators.
  
  10. I will add more rules if necessary.

  Name: Almira Altius
  Sex: Female
  Age: 40
  Species: Setesh
  Appearance: Altius
  Rank: Captain
  Division: Science
  Bio: Having lived her entire early life on a space colony, Almira was well-acclimated to space life. Her parents had been part of a team of researchers giving her an appreciation for science, particularly in biology, but she had always wanted more out of life than to live out her days on a colony. Almira entered the Coalition Corps Academy at 16, and graduated at the top of her class within three years, much faster than average. After years of service she was given command of the Coalition's latest flagship, the Ouranos, due in part to her vast scientific knowledge and diplomatic ability.
  Other: The Ouranos is the second vessel Almira has commanded. The first being an aging exploration ship.
  
  
  Name: Irrin Quint
  Sex: Male
  Age: 80
  Species: Peras
  Appearance: Quint
  Rank: N/A
  Division: Pilot
  Bio: Former Captain of the Coalition's previous flagship, Elanus, until its untimely destruction three years earlier. Quint was one of the few survivors to escape the tragedy. The events that transpired that day were covered up by Coalition Intelligence. Quint resigned from the Corps only to be assigned to Intelligence as an Inspector, one who examines the working order of new ships and internal affairs of its crew to ensure its operations run smoothly. Currently, he has been assigned to the Ouranos despite his requests that the duty be transferred to another.
  Other: Due to the loss of his ship, Elanus, the overwhelming majority of those who know his name have a "more than unfavorable" opinion of him.
  
  
  Name: Brianne Lightwood
  Sex: Female
  Age: 25
  Species: Setesh
  Appearance: Boop
  Rank: Commander (because Arch said so)
  Division: Security
  Bio: Brianne was born and raised on a small farming colony in the outer reaches of space. Her home was attacked by illegal slavers that killed those she loved and captured the rest. Brianne raised a small rebellion of slaves to escape, stealing an escape pod from the bandits. They were picked up by air traffic, and taken back to safety for evaluation. Most were rehabilitated into new homes and lives, safe within military patrol, but Brianne wasn't satisfied with a safe life. She wanted to keep what had happened to her from happening to another.
  
  Brianne joined the Coalition Corps as she soon as she was able, and rose through the ranks quickly, gaining attention with her proficient use of skills and talent. She was promoted before thirty to Commander, making her one of the youngest in history to be given such a title.
  Other: N/A
  
  
  Name: Clarity
  Sex: Female
  Age: 96
  Species: Varuna
  Appearance: ~
  Rank: Lieutenant
  Division: Medical
  Bio: Clarity was born and raised on her species' home planet in a loving and peaceful environment. Despite the draw of the calm and tranquil, Clarity accompanied her Peras father off world in order to become a little less sheltered. The station they landed on was attacked by mercenaries, and while Clarity's father and other forces fought off the invaders, Clarity found she had a penchant for tending to the wounded.
  
  The desire to help save lives that were injured in battle only grew, and Clarity joined the Coalition in order to sate herself.

  Name: Yvette Greer
  Sex: Female
  Age: 21
  Species: Maraku
  Appearance: Here
  Rank: Ensign
  Division: Pilot
  Bio: Yvette is an energetic young woman with a sense of adventure. What she wants the most is just to see the worlds and escape her home land for the time being. She plans on eventually going back, but she doesn't know when. In her own town she is the daughter of someone quite important, and is treated as such. Getting annoyed with being treated so much better than everyone else, Yvette decided to leave and hide from all that by joining the Corps. Here no one knew who she was so she didn't get treated as anything special. That was fine by her.
  
  With her own ability to fly, Yvette decided that would be the easiest course to go down, and she excelled. She loved to fly, not only on her own but she loved to be in control of a ship, no matter what the size. It gave her freedom in it's own way and it was amazing. Even when in danger Yvette finds the thrill invigorating and wouldn't pass it up for anything.
  Other: Yvette is a member of the royal family in Tyche. She is not in direct line to the throne, but is cousins with the current prince. Her mother is the king's younger sister.

  Bio: Crow was never one for fighting, mostly because of his lack of physical ability when it comes to that sort of thing. Medical treatment and other such things were much more his style. Thus when given the chance to join the corps, he decided to do so in the medical division.
  Other: He doesn't know why his name is Crow despite his webbed feet.

  Bio: Aeros is a risk taker and while that wasn't the best of traits for someone who is a pilot, Aeros also is pretty lucky which usually only shows at certain times. Things on his home world were getting too mundane for him and thus wanted to try out something new. Not that he had a probelm with how peaceful things were there. Eventually he decided to join the Corps. He'd heard various stories about them and the tales that he had heard were good enough to catch his interest.
  Other: Aeros usually keeps his wings hidden.
  
  
  Name: Kyra Blackthorn & Tox
  Sex: Female
  Age: 34
  Species: Setesh & Ryve
  Appearance: Kyra Blackthorn
  Rank: Lieutenant Commander
  Division: Engineer
  Bio: Always the hands-on type, Kyra knew her calling was in engineering. She initially had trouble with the machinations of of ships, but her Ryve companion, Tox, helped her understand it. Tox is slightly more active in Kyra's life than other Ryve are with their Setesh. Though it still lacks most emotional capacity, Tox seems to get some sort of twisted enjoyment out of causing Kyra to say or do something unintentionally like using the completely wrong word in a sentence. Kyra may be the host and the actual Coalition officer, but Tox has a high respect for the Coalition's ships, virtually worshiping them, as the Ryve sees the ships as hosts to their symbotic crew: one can't survive without the other. The Ouranos is Kyra's and Tox's second ship and Kyra suspects Tox is slightly bitter about leaving their last one... well as bitter as Ryve could be.
  
  
  Name: Relaganos "Rel" Gavi
  Sex: Male
  Age: 139
  Species: Varuna
  Appearance: Rel Gavi
  Rank: Lieutenant
  Division: Security
  Bio: Born to a lower branch of a noble Varuna family, Rel always felt out of place with his own people. Though others ignored him in favor of his royal relatives, his cousins always treated him as one of their own. However, a tragic incident in his "teenage" years caused him to be exiled from his home community. Not wanting to make a home with other Varuna, he enrolled in the Coalition Corps Academy three years ago. A volatile anger made a great fighter and -though he's refused to kill due to the Varuna respect of life- successfully became a Security officer. After getting a position on the ship of his choice, he found out that he's been transferred to the Ouranos under Captain Altius.
  Other: Rel carries two swords in tight-fitting wooden sheaths. He rarely unsheathes them and instead wields them completely sheathed as he has an aversion to killing. However, drastic enough situations could cause him to unsheathe them.
  
  
  Name: Doctor Walter Beowulf Saturday
  Sex: Male
  Age: Unknown
  Species: Cirifex
  Appearance: Humanoid. He wears a one-eyed white mask and white gloves, along with a black suit and grey scarf. He carries a cane.
  Rank: N/A
  Division: N/A
  Bio: The Cirifex of the planet Dun were once a proud and scientifically advanced race, though they never became spacefaring. The race had limited abilities over space itself, many of them could teleport or manipulate gravity. However, one man, Doctor Walter Beowulf Saturday, changed it all. He was ambitious, and wanted the natural powers of the race to advance beyond ever before. Hundreds of his scientists and engineers worked tirelessly on a machine a monstrosity of a device, that could access the very nature of the universe itself. Unbeknownst to him, when Walter entered the machine he sealed the doom of the Cirifex. For several moments, Doctor Saturday was elevated beyond mere mortality and he had a glimpse at the true nature of the universe, all of space and time was shown to him, every single possibility, every star, every life, of every universe. But Walter's mind did not have the capacity to gaze into the truth for long. He went utterly insane, his brain unable to handle the overload of information. With his newfound powers, he ripped apart the machine from the inside. The machine was already unstable, and as Walter destroyed it from within it exploded outwards with destructive force never before seen to the Cirifex. It was a global shockwave, every building collapsed, every once-grand city fell into ruins, and every living Cirifex was instantly killed by the blast. Except one. Saturday emerged from the machine a changed man. Though the truth had almost destroyed him, and had caused him to destroy everybody he knew, all he wanted was another glimpse at it.
  
  Saturday is a walking contradiction. He is utterly insane and yet disturbingly rational. His intelligence is almost unmatched but he does lack some common sense. In terms of personality, he is often cold and aloof, yet at the same time sociable and talkative. He generally treats people with kindness, if a little condescending, and never judges at first sight, yet he treats human lives like they're his playthings.
  
  
  Name: Alexei "Sparky" Pavlov
  Sex: Male
  Age: 28
  Species: Maraku
  Appearance: Alexei has tanned skin and dusty blond hair
  Rank: Ensign
  Division: Engineering
  Bio: Alexei spent much of his life as a space pirate. Alexei used to be a roguish scamp who sailed the cosmic ocean without a care in the world. He didn't care about those whose lives he hurt, he didn't care about other people. That was until he did something he super regretted and finally realized the impact of his actions. This affected him deeply and he felt he needed to redeem himself for his actions in the past. He joined the Coalition corps to help people, and although he's been in the corps for a while he has chosen to not rise through the ranks, he'd rather keep a low profile.
  Alexei is plagued by guilt and likes to be alone, but you'd never know it from his personality. Alexei is still very much roguish and charismatic and doesn't seem to care much for other people. He tries to keep a positive attitude, almost as a way of dealing with the guilt.
  
  
  Name: Dietrich Winters
  Sex: Male
  Age: 74
  Species: Peras
  Appearance: Brown eyes, bald, well kept black goatee, physically well-trained.
  Rank: Lieutenant Commander
  Division: Security
  Bio: Dietrich was born into a military family, his father serving in the Coalition before him as a Captain and his mother in the medical corps. Therefore he had been molded from a young age to follow in their footsteps and while it could be argued that it's a bad thing to do such a thing, but Dietrich didn't see himself as a person to have a dull job planetside so as soon as he could, after graduating he enlisted with the coalition security divisions and remains where he is until this day eventually getting assigned to the new flagship.
  
  
  Name: Ana Jereck
  Sex: Female
  Age: 21
  Species: Maraku
  Appearance: ~
  Rank: Lieutenant
  Division: Science
  Bio: Ana was born on an alien planet, far from the dusty and windswept planes of her homeworld. Her mother died soon after she was born, leaving her to be raised by her father. At the age of five, Ana was taken by slavers. When she attempted to escape, her wings were broken, disallowing such schemes in the future. Ana was sixteen when the camp was raided, the slavers killed, and Ana met Brianne Lightwood, then a lieutenant herself. Brianne took Ana under her wing (har har), getting the girl the psychological help and physical therapy she needed in order to learn how to walk, run, and eventually, fly. She also pulled some strings in order to get the Marakan a job in the Coalition, and taught Ana how to defend herself.
  One year later, Ana is as functional a person as she has ever been, and has joined Brianne for her first mission off the planet she made her home. She still has yet to try to use her wings to fly.
  Other: Officially discharged as a successful outpatient of psychotherapy, no known issues remaining that cannot be handled by the patient in question.

Name: Yvette Greer
Sex: Female
Age: 21
Species: Maraku
Appearance: Here
Rank: Ensign
Division: Pilot
Bio: Yvette is an energetic young woman with a sense of adventure. What she wants the most is just to see the worlds and escape her home land for the time being. She plans on eventually going back, but she doesn't know when. In her own town she is the daughter of someone quite important, and is treated as such. Getting annoyed with being treated so much better than everyone else, Yvette decided to leave and hide from all that by joining the Corps. Here no one knew who she was so she didn't get treated as anything special. That was fine by her.

With her own ability to fly, Yvette decided that would be the easiest course to go down, and she excelled. She loved to fly, not only on her own but she loved to be in control of a ship, no matter what the size. It gave her freedom in it's own way and it was amazing. Even when in danger Yvette finds the thrill invigorating and wouldn't pass it up for anything.
Other:Yvette is a member of the royal family in Tyche. She is not in direct line to the throne, but is cousins with the current prince. Her mother is the kings younger sister.

 

Everyone's OCs are terrible. Nobody is in.

Okay, not really. Everyone is in. Thanks guys.

 

You're in, brosef.

 

Accepted. The RP will start next week just to give time to any other people who might want to join before then. I'll get the main thread up sometime before then so there's a little more background info to work off of. Thanks guys.

 

Everyone's been accepted. The RP is up here. If you have any questions on how to post or want some details, you know where to ask. The OOC has been updated with some details on the Ouranos.

 

Beam me up, Sparky.

Obviously, accepted. Don't make me super regret this.

 

Can't wait for him to bring down the hammer. Accepted.

 

Edited everyone in finally. Added a "Weapons" tab for the Ouranos armory. Still incomplete so it'll be some time before I finalize everything.
