Date: Space Year 47 According to the Magsyn Empire.
According to the Hegvan Union it is 6,637 A.U.E.

Current Location: Uysric Galaxy

Synopsis: The Uysric Galaxy is and has been in a Perpetual War for Dominance of the Entire Galaxy. This devastating war is between the Magsyn Empire and the Hegvan Union. For many, many years, the war has been equal in bloodshed against both sides. Many civilians of the Uysric Galaxy can’t even fathom a life without these two juggernauts engaged in mortal conflict. Hundreds, nay, thousands of planets remained completely devastated from the war. These wounds haven’t healed, but have only festered and rotted, as more salt has been poured into those bubbling wounds. And it seems like the Uysric Galaxy will be consumed in war-fare until everything is destroyed. Perhaps, there is still hope… people who wish to end this conflict once and for all, and are risking everything they have to either allow their side to win, or finally end the bloodshed…

BUUUUT… this isn’t that story. No, even with their technology the Twin Powers still lack a complete influence in the galaxy. Plus, bureaucracy tends to be hard over vast stretches, even with this territory. In fact, several star systems in the Uysric Galaxy haven’t even heard of the Twin Powers at all. No, the real story here is about the weirdness of the galaxy, or rather the bizarre ways of the Universe itself. Oh and that’s not even mentioning parallel and perpendicular universes, and the vast, vast galaxies which have life, and also the barren ones. No, this story is about the strange individuals who go out into the fantastical universe and make a name for themselves, in whatever way they feel like making it.

So, are you ready to get out into the vastness of the universe and do… well whatever, from heroic quests, to villainous plots, to adventurous expeditions to the farthest reaches of space, turning the tides in Galactic Wars, personally influencing the development of new life-forms, or even just drinking at a wretched hive of scum and villainy. THE UNIVERSE HAS IT ALL, SO BEST OF LUCK.

Oh, as you probably guessed by reading this far this is a light-hearted, nonsensical Sci-fi adventure. If this game were to applied on the Sliding Scale of Science Hardness… this is extremely soft. Anyway, below will be an example character sheet so you can make a character if you are interested.

Character Sheet:

Name: This ranges from your legal moniker, and pen and stage names you have, criminal aliases, forged identities, and even what your childhood’s friend, cousin in law used to call you back in the day.
Gender: Male, female, etc.
Age: Another standard thing to know. How many solar rotations has your character been through? (Yes, this is space, so I had to ask the age based upon solar rotations.)

Race: In the Vast Expanses of the Universe… there are many, many forms of life, besides just humanoid, there are even life-forms that are gaseous in nature and communicate by flashing colors. Basically this means, any race your heart can dream of. (Well, within limits of course, like don’t play Silver Age Superman who can destroy Galaxies With Sneezes…)
Racial Traits: Just for an easier to read format on what makes your particular race special. What are the defects of your race, what makes you race better than the base humanoid?

Physical Appearance: Either use a picture or write a description for this. Either one works.
Personality: What characteristics and qualities make your character, well your character? How do they think, and feel? You don’t need to be overly long in this description, but give a general starting point to their personality (After all, it could change in game.)

Occupation: What does your character do for a living, well at least at the start of the game… Who knows, maybe they’ll find a different occupation down the way.
History: Give a slice of your character’s background. What events shaped who they are today? Does your character even know they had a background? ((Yes, you do have the choice to say “My character knows NOTHING of their background”. If that is the case, expect a fun learning adventure in the galaxy…!))

Skills: Every character has skills and flaws, this would be the section where you would go into detail about this stuff.
Equipment: So is your character as rich as a Planetary Governor, and has a badass Inter-stellar Warship at their disposal? Or is your character just a lowly individual serving some sort of Hyper-corporation with nothing to their name? Or most likely, is your character somewhere in between? List any pertinent equipment your character has.

Aspirations: What drives your character? What do they want from life, and what causes them to be truly ambitious. Give a few character motivations/aspirations.

Philosophy: What beliefs does your character holds dear? Give your character a few personal beliefs.
Random Tidbits: Any random tidbits that you want to add about your character.

Rules:
Don’t God-mode; don’t take control of another person’s character, etc.
Treat others as they’d treat you.
For posting, go with the flow with the other people playing. Though I’ll be trying to keep it fairly fast paced
And the most important of all of the rules: Have a fun time!

The Current Brave, Daring and Quite Possibly Insane Individuals in Space:

  • Akira Tokugawa: Akira Tokugawa is the heir to Tokugawa Industries (a prominent Cybernetics Company based on Earth). He is a Wannabe Galactic Samurai bent on bringing Justice! In this quest he quickly lost his right arm to the Serial Killer Ithiis "HORROR OF THE STAGE"! And if that wasn't bad enough currently he is stuck in the Arenas as a Gladiatorial Slave... What will the future hold for him!?


  • Mika Tokugawa: The younger sister of Akira Tokugawa. She is a Third Grade Psychic, with great potential! She luckily managed to avoid capture by Slavers, due to Akira performing a bold sacrifice of himself so that she could escape. She seeks to free her brother from his slavehood, and with the "new help" she is receiving to build her own psychic potential she is on her way to do it...


  • Serenity Arvennicus, the Owner and Head Architect of the Serene Design Corporation, known for making luxurious space ships at affordable (or 'affordable' depending on who you ask, but that is neither here nor there) prices. After much hard work in designing all sorts of ships, and other mechanical creations, she decided to take a relaxing vacation to Lucky Shots. What sorts of things will happen in this vacation!?


  • Wildmax, a Ceedromian originally destined to be an Artist on his home planet. Buuuut... That wasn't fun enough for Wildmax's tastes, as he soon turned himself into a dual pistol gun-slingin' Bounty Hunter, travelling through the Galaxy to capture criminals (also occasionally making and selling art pieces) What sort of wild adventures lay in store for this gunslinger extraordinaire!




  • Groups You Should Keep an Eye Out For




    Individuals, Who are Quite Possibly Noteworthy

    Name: Mika Tokugawa
    Gender: Female
    Age: 15
    Race: Human (psychic)
    Physical Appearance: http://i.imgur.com/bWLmQhw.jpg
    Racial Traits: While Mika is a human, she's one of the few that possess usable psychic powers. Her main talent lies in Telekinesis, which is pretty much what it says on the tin: She can move things with her mind. This ability has its limits though, and large scale or constant use of it will tire Mika out. She also has a few lesser talents, including creating flame and minor telepathy (influencing people's emotions, though not to a great degree, or small amounts of psychic communication, etc.) Additionally, as a result of her psychic focus and training, her body is a fair bit tougher and somewhat faster than the average person's.

    Personality: Mika is a generally chill girl who thinks her life is pretty cool. She has totally awesome psychic powers, gets to mess with Tokugawa's technology, and generally doesn't have anything to angst about in her life. That said, she's still relatively young and does want to get out and see more of the universe. She isn't quite as enthusiastic about justice as her older brother, but she is generally a good and moral person.

    Occupation: Mika is sort of a student, though she doesn't really follow the normal curriculum – more private tutors, self study, messing around with her psychic powers, and stuff. Of course, right now she's taking a break to chase her big brother across space.

    History: Mika was a normal girl, born to a normal set of parents who had relatively normal jobs at Tokugawa Industries. Except for the fact that she has psychic powers. While her parents could only be called good parents, they found themselves ill equipped to handle a psychic kid. However, they stuck through with it and tried to raise her the best they could, until one day a solution presented itself from an unlikely source: 'Bring your kid to work day'. It turned out that the Tokugawas had taken a liking to the girl, and had the resources to raise a psychic kid without trouble. So, Mika's parents decided to let her be adopted into the Tokugawa family.

    Flash forward to the present, she's heard that her big brother has gone running across space in search of justice or something. Now, Mika had always wanted to get out and see the world, and Akira would most likely be needing, uh... Someone to make sure he didn't get himself killed. And probably repairs for his armor. It didn't take her too long to get on a ship and head out after him...

    Skills:
    Mika is gifted with technology, a whiz with the stuff. She's more of a tinkerer than a hacker, though she certainly knows her way around computers. She's also pretty good at other academic pursuits, and generally has more book smarts than a girl her age should.
    Mika is no warrior, but she knows basic self defense and can use a knife or a gun decently, though not amazingly.
    She also regularly trains with her psychic powers and is no stranger to using them.
    That said, she's still a teenage girl – not a hardened badass. While she is generally intelligent, she isn't particularly street smart and she's never really dealt with dangerous situations before.

    Equipment:
    High Quality Laser Pistol
    HF Long Knife
    A reasonable amount of credits
    A smartphone + headphones
    A laptop
    Technician's tools

    Aspirations:
    See more of the universe, meet new people and do interesting things.
    Develop her psychic powers as far as she safely can.
    Keep Akira from getting himself killed.

    Philosophy:
    Don't let your talents go to waste – develop them.
    Take care of the people you are close to (friends/family).
    Life is good. Enjoy it, but don't be self destructive about it.

    Name: Akira Tokugawa

    Gender: Male

    Age: 22 Earth years

    Race: Human

    Racial Traits: I feel like I shouldn't need to elaborate here.

    Physical Appearance: http://i.imgur.com/5Z1VkjT.png

    Personality: A lightheaded ditz by nature, Akira is filled with heroic fantasies and delusions of grandeur. He fancies himself a champion of justice and a modern day samurai. He is in fact neither, but he has a strong moral compass and the willpower to act selflessly for his friends.

    Occupation: Technically unemployed, though he comes from a wealthy family.

    History: Akira was previously going to inherit Tokugawa Industries, one of the foremost companies on Earth specialized in technology and cybernetics. Despite a lavish upbringing, the boy decided he'd rather explore the stars, spreading ideals of justice and honor and visiting unknown lands. After quite a bit of debate, the fate of the company was left in the hands of his much more level-headed older sister. He was able to commission a set of high end space-gear from the company and set off on his space samurai adventure.

    Skills: Through ridiculous and questionable self-training, Akira's actually fairly fit and has surprisingly sharp reflexes. Additionally, he's an adequate swordsman.
    He also went through fairly extensive schooling and can manage a business like nobody's business.
    Lastly, he has basic knowledge on how to maintain his gear to some degree.

    Unfortunately, he is no scientist, nor pilot, and has to rely on computer navigational systems for long distance travel.
    Additionally, any extensive damage to his armor, weapons, or spacecraft have to be taken to a real mechanic. Because he isn't one.

    Equipment: Akira's greatest boon is his samurai armor. It's a prototype lightweight exoskeleton that enhances its user's strength, as well as providing a good amount of protection against both physical and beam weaponry. It can function as a space suit with a 22 minute air supply, and is ID locked to Akira's bio-signature to prevent theft. The hologram-flag on the back can display his family emblem/company logo as well as swivel around, serving as a video monitor. The internal memory unit is loaded with over 400 hours of Earth entertainment for long ship rides. The suit has a built in high efficiency battery unit. It's solar powered and can go for almost 30 hours without charging.
    The suit's primary weapon is an HF katana; the blade oscillates at ultra high speeds, giving it tremendous cutting power and giving off a very faint buzz. Experimentation with nonlethal radiation gives the blade a glowing blue color to match the armor's LED lights.

    http://i.imgur.com/WLUEscg.jpg
    His main mode of transportation is a motorcycle. Akira intends to get through space by joining fellow space-adventurers, but first he needs to drop off by the DMV to get his bike registered.

    Aspirations: Akira aspires to spread sweet justice throughout the cosmos.

    Philosophy: Akira holds ideals of romantic heroism dear and champions justice, fairness, liberty and bushido.

    Name: Shah-Nahul

    Gender: Male

    Age: 25

    Race: Mastonoid

    Racial Traits: Mastonoids were originally a genespliced slave-race created for war and hard labor, and it shows. They look like humanoid Woolly Mammoths, standing roughly eight feet tall on average with wickedly sharp talons. Less obvious is their incredible ability to regenerate and overactive adrenal glands.
    tl;dr Berserker elephant wookies

    Appearance:

    Personality: Shah-Nahul is built like a goddamn tank, and he knows it. As such, he has a habit of taking hits meant for his "pit-brothers". He has a very friendly, boisterous personality, both in and out of the ring, and makes a point of showing new gladiators the ropes. Generally speaking, he will not finish off other gladiators outside of fairly specific circumstances, such as killing a good friend.

    Occupation: Slave-Gladiator

    History: Shah-Nahul was taken to the pits at a fairly early age as tribute to the slavers who would visit his world every ten years or so. Since then, he has risen through the ranks and become a crowd favorite due to his loud and grandstanding attitude, and his unwillingness to kill those who put up a decent fight has made a good impression on many of the owners, as well. His ranking, however, is extremely low due to said willingness, and as such he shares a cellblock with many of the new guys.

    Skills: Shah-Nahul is an excellent fighter, but has few other skills due to being effectively raised in the arena.

    Equipment: Some scavenged body armor

    Aspirations: Shah-Nahul is perfectly fine living in the arena, and only seeks to test his prowess against any and all challengers.

    Philosophy: Shah-Nahul is all about the fights, and is generally quite friendly with opponents before and after a match. He considers killing a waste, as it deprives oneself of rematches down the line, where both competitors can see how they have improved. Of course, if you've violated the sacred jaghannat, a code of ritual combat common in gladiatorial circles, you're a dead man/woman/whatever.

    Name: Zharkov the Crusher
    Gender: Male
    Age: 24 (Earth years)

    Race: Pravadov
    Racial Traits: Once a proud warrior race, the Pravadov people were raised on the icy planet of Pravadia. They are human in appearance with strong legs and even stronger alcohol tolerance. The Pravadov also possess high resistance to cold temperatures, capable of staying in sub-zero temperatures for indefinite amounts of time. Adapted to seeing through the Pravadovian blizzards, the people adapted especially long eye lashes, capable of keeping snow from their eyes. The eyes themselves are adapted to seeing far away, The respiratory of a Pravadov are also highly developed, capable of storing vast amounts of oxygen. Skilled enough Pravadov are capable of spraying focused blasts of oxygen before introducing friction allowing them to breath fire.

    Physical Appearance: http://www.crossfitwired.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Dimitry-Klokov-at-CrossFit-Wired-Again-Faster-Wall.jpg
    Personality: Zharkov is the strong and silent type, giving Spartan responses only when necessary. Taciturn, he remains an enigma to all those who meet with him. Though he is usually only greeted with new people in the gladiator ring, where they are much too busy beating down each other. Zharkov lets his fists speak for him.

    Occupation: Gladiator/Slave
    History: Zharkov was born in the icy planet of Pravadov. There, he was trained as a warrior from childhood by his village's elders. However, the Praeclara are known to raid Pravadia for slaves. Zharkov was one of these captured slaves, and had been one since he was a child. As a slave, he was raised as a gladiator, living only to fight. His masters threatened to kill him should he ever refuse.

    Skills: Zharkov is skilled in using any melee weapon he is presented with. In addition, he is very capable of improvising weapons. He is also a heavy lifter.
    Equipment: He has nothing but a suit of gladiator armor.

    Aspirations:Fight. Win.

    Philosophy: In the battlefield, the only thing with substance is your actions.
    Random Tidbits: Zharkov squats compulsively due to subconscious habit.

Will our Heroine Mika Tokugawa ever free her brother, or will she decide to just ditch him because he was being a total idiot!? And most importantly, will Calculon survive for the next season!?
