INTRODUCTION


Welcome to the galaxy of Andreemea, a unique sci-fi setting from which will spawn multiple roleplays in the future. This roleplay specifically is the primary base of operations for Andreemea and part of Wave 1 of it's roleplays. However, one does not have to join this roleplay to take part in other roleplays in the setting, or have to join other roleplays if taking part in this one. Although highly ambitious, people with a more casual outlook on things can still join and appreciate what this roleplay has to offer.

Participants are encouraged, if they so wish, to participate in many creative ways to flesh out the galaxy. Feel free to submit alien race and planet ideas, for but a few examples of what you can do. If not, there will be plenty of stuff created by me or other eager roleplayers to chose from...or just play as a simple human. I'm not judging.

RESOURCES


Wiki


Multiple different resources can be used for this roleplay to help organize things. Although all of the necessary information can be found in the OOC, you can see tons of extra background information and reminders of what things are at a simple glance at the Andreemea Wiki found HERE.

For example, in a post in the IC we might not have time to explain every detail of a certain alien, so we might just know them by their race name and perhaps their green skin or something. However, with the wiki available to you, a page may be made to paint a far better picture of them! Of course it would be nice if we could explain everything that well IC, but that's not always realistic, and people might forget over time what was said in a certain post, having to hunt through pages and even across roleplays to find what they are looking for.

That being said, the wiki will be a highly valuable tool at our disposal, and while not 100% needed, it's highly recommended. At the time of this writing the wiki is not entirely up to date everywhere due to how much work is needed, but it still has a tons of very helpful pages and will be fixed up in the coming weeks in areas most relevant to current IC situations.

Chatzy


Not nearly as important as the wiki, but still a great asset for quick back and forth communication; not clogging up the OOC and having to keep refreshing to see if a reply has come in. Also good if what is being said doesn't really need to be recorded for all time on the OOC. Just head to that chatroom and type back and forth in real time. It can be found HERE.

SETTING


Background:


Andreemea is a far away galaxy that's connected to our own through a wormhole that was traversed by us earthlings in our calendar's year of 2195 ad, although with a history altered in some ways to account for some alien involvement. The galaxy is separated into 81 different sectors and the wormhole sent us into Sector 70.

However, earthlings aren't the main focus of the galactic narrative. There exist thousands of races spread throughout the galaxy, many of which are far grander than us. A collection of races called the UNT was found at the location we entered and can be thought of as the most powerful good guy alliance within the galaxy, even if some others disagree. They were formed 6,130 years prior after a great war threatened to destroy most of the "civilized" galaxy with their advanced technology. With warring races teaming up and signing agreements that were also signed by many others in the galaxy not even a part of the UNT, they banned weapons of mass destruction, which includes things such as sending meteors on a collision course to unleash devastation on a planet. Although war still continues in much of the galaxy, at the very least they can rest easy knowing that they won't tear apart the entire galaxy itself for the time being.

Magic


Souls exist and are vital for magical abilities. Magic originated as physical energy generated by the Soul that became powerful enough to create an aura. It allowed the individual to achieve feats not normally possible, gaining more and more powerful as this magical aura evolved down the generations. It was eventually possible to extend their aura out of their body and connect with the aura of others, turning it into a web of energy called magiwaves that now permeate much of the known galaxy.

At this point it was considered magic as they needed to create what are called "magical formations" in the magiwaves to their bidding, what can be thought of as 3-dimensional glowing runes (only visible by those who can sense magiwaves or certain technology). Their soul energy flows out and is what does the manipulation of the magiwaves into said formations, different ones creating different spells, and every minor alteration in the formation gives a magical spell it's unique flavor to the magic user that's insanely hard to duplicate exactly. There's too large of a number of different magic available to list. Simple ones such as throwing a small fire would require a relatively easy formation that may take about three seconds of concentration to achieve, given a moderate amount of practice.

Some organisms who use aura couldn't or wouldn't achieve magic while others have a mix of aura and magic. Even organisms such as plants have souls that give off magiwaves. However, not everyone or everything can use magic or aura by any means, as they must be able to use their soul energy. This requires much practice and is simply not possible in a lot of individuals. Some races have this talent far more frequently than others. With training, most people with any capability in aura/magic can at least use aura to enhance their physical abilities to some extent, even if nothing else.

Magic can be used from technology by a magirite gem etched with a magical formation through a special process, combined with magitrinail, saturating the gem while spinning at high speeds and acting as the soul energy to spark the formation into life. Magic done this way is rarely as powerful as organic users unless the gem and magitrinail is of very high quality.

Technology


As you might have guessed, there's a wide variety of high level technology available. Obvious stuff are not needing to be mentioned, but I shall list certain technology that is important to know about. If it's not listed then it may or may not be possible. Weapons of mass destruction are possible but banned throughout much of the galaxy for those capable of doing so. Weapons are still far more deadly in small scale, so someone shooting a pistol would possibly be able to destroy our earth tanks from the year 2016. Their armor is also far stronger yet far lighter.

Anti-Gravitational Field Generator - Inhibits the ability of gravitons to interact with an object, allowing it to float.

Cosmodrive - Allows an object to interact with an invisible energy/wave called cosmowaves as if it's an atmosphere. This allows dogfighting in space and faster than light travel as it takes advantage of the malleable nature of cosmowaves to bend it in a process commonly called "diving". Diving takes more powerful cosmodrives.

Elzion Particles - Looks like glowing energy and what people would mistake as being lasers in various sci-fi shows. They can behave like bullets while in a high energy state, held loosely together in a glob, or while in a low energy state they can be attracted by what is called an energy net (specialized nanomachines) to form together into solid shapes like a sword. Lastly they can be used as energy similar to electricity in it's neutral state. Energy shells hold elzion particles and can be found in anything from guns to tanks, sending out energy in the desired form to power different functions.

Cloning - Possible. However, cloning people's magical/special abilities doesn't work without a legendary magic to also clone parts of the soul of a person, which isn't possible normally. This leaves normal clones relatively weak.

Warp - You can use cosmodrives to bend cosmowaves and travel to a location very quickly, possibly instantaneously if the cosmowave can be warped completely by a perfect cosmodrive, which is only theoretically possible at best. Plus you wouldn't find adequate cosmowaves on planets so would only work in deeper space anyways. Other "warping" technology is simply copying the makeup of an object and printing it elsewhere. This would be more akin to cloning someone at another location if used on a person, as the soul would not be transported by currently known technology.

AI and Robotics - Artificial intelligence has largely been in steep decline after a robotic race called the virous was able to corrupt military robots and tern them against their creators, almost resulting in the UNT being destroyed in it's infancy. Any large scale number of such things swiftly becomes a huge target for them, so it's gone widely out of practice. However, small numbers of combat robotics and AI still exist and some AI races of old have managed to withstand corruption more easily, allowing them to flourish where others have failed. Some other rare exceptions also exist.

Cyborgs - Due to the existence of souls, people's bodies tend to go wackier the more robotics are attached to them. Some races and individuals can withstand becoming cyborgs to a certain extent a lot easier, while on a large scale it's not possible or practical due to the risks involved. In one case gone horribly awry, a large population of a planet turned into what amounts to cybernetic zombies. This incident has scared many off of the practice and stereotypes/fear of cyborgs remains ingrained in society to this day.

PLOT


Faith in the UNT is starting to fade in a lot of people's hearts as they simply have too much territory to properly govern and protect everyone within their borders. Some planets and races are bound to be left out, and this breeds resentment that can slowly build against the government, even against those trying to do the right thing. Something must be done to address these concerns before full scale riots break out. Not much progress has been made, and some would say that the situation is even worsening.

It's now the year Twentythree 224 gt (23,224 years since the first recorded space flight that began the galactic timeline). This is equivalent to the year 2629 ad for the Earthlings.

A mysterious bounty hunter named Sahvin Bel stole an outdated prototype of an Outreach Class Scout Cruiser from a scrap yard. Things took a turn for the bizarre when he sent it back on autopilot months later, heavily upgraded and with an AI program installed called ANI. They wanted to aid the UNT with the condition that nothing be done to harm ANI or remove her from the ship. Although suspecting a trap, port authorities found nothing suspicious on board. Still hesitant on what to do with the ship, called the Exeralune, a man going by the code name Hidden Eagle said that he'd take command of the ship and assemble a crew.

His mission? To use the ship to restore people's faith in the UNT. He vowed to spend the rest of his days flying around the galaxy, protecting the innocent and aiding others in whatever way he and his crew could manage. Even if ANI was watching as a spy, all she'd see is the good that they were doing for the galaxy. Plus, Hidden Eagle highly doubted that she would turn on them, for unexplained reasons.

It's now their first mission together as a crew, having blasted off from the UNT Sector 49 Headquarters planet of Elistore. Traveling northeast for a day and half of the night to reach a distress signal, they're given a rude awakening when a ship that they have never seen before, one about their own size, violently cross paths with them. After sizing each other up, a combination of boarding party ships and spacefighters are sent out from the enemy as the capital ships themselves prepare to fire upon each other.

And so begins our long series of adventures...

EPISODES


This roleplay will follow an episodic format. Some plotlines carry over, but most episodes follow their own self contained story. Before each episode starts, everyone participating can vote on which plot they'd like to go with for that episode. You may submit your own plot ideas giving however little or much information you desire. However, expect more votes the more exciting and vivid you make your idea. They don't have to all revolve around action, but can instead have a comedic or character development purpose to them. Most of our boring missions such as giving out food to the poor will obviously be left out of the episodes we will visit.

RULES


1. Standard forum rules apply such as god modding and posting illegal stuff.

2. Don't leave us waiting on your post for over a week without warning. If we decide on it, we can control your character for the sake of moving the plot forward had you kept us waiting too long. This can include killing them off, if deemed necessary.

3. Don't make a habit of one sentence posts. At best this should be very rare, and most should be at least a paragraph in length. More would be appreciated but not required.

4. I can claim any of your stuff non-canon if needed, but will have a good reason for it. There can still be other possible canons where your stuff can be used if this happens to you, but not our main one we are using. Different roleplays may take part in these different canons.

5. Do not double post in the IC. Wait for everyone who is also in the scene with you to post before posting again unless they don't plan on posting at that point in time.

6. I can create more rules as needed.

CHARACTER SHEET


When filling out the character sheet, remove the round brackets, which are there to explain what the different parts of the sheet can be so not needed in the final sheet. You can use your own format if it includes everything.

If you have multiple characters they cannot occupy the same position and you cannot occupy more then one single position slot no matter how many characters you have, unless everyone has had sufficient time to take it.

RACES


VERY IMPORTANT RACES


Aunarri - An extremely powerful grey race and leader of the GAN empire to the east of the galaxy. They are known for being attractive and formal. They have three structures on their forehead where the hair would be that gives them the nickname of "tri-heads". It looks like short tentacles wrapping backwards on their head, but more firm in place like cartilage. Similar in appearance to a race from Mass Effect.

Bord - Stature like a relatively hairless grey gorilla with large muscles, clawed hands that can be used like shovels, and square-ish heads with a small pair of tusks on their bottom jaws. They are known as the most prominent mining race within the UNT. They can assemble a very powerful fighting force very quickly and love to go big with their designs.

Human - Originated in Andreemea, but some evolved in the Milky Way as well to become Earthlings. Exendrian humans are the most prominent group of humans and are known for golden irises, dark skin, and a mixed race look. Ahsuda are an asian looking group of humans. Xern humans are from the planet Xern and allied themselves with the GAN empire.

Faera - An all female race of blue/purple humanoids that is extremely populous, as both parents can get pregnant at the same time should they desire, rather than only having half of the population able to get pregnant. They are a UNT member but in the north outside their original borders, making them like a head honcho in their neck of the woods. Their military strength is also impressive.

Gurran - Conservative humanoid beings with leathery grey skin and armored fingers/toes due to walking across scorching deserts and picking at poison laced thorns on cactus containing a liquid needed for their babies. They have fancy head crests extending up from their forehead that is great pride to the men. Their military might is impressive and they are leaning towards the militaristic side.

Inorr - They can be thought of as similar to Klingon from Star Trek to get the basic idea of what they are about. They are somewhat like humanoid frogs with ridges running along their rough skin, and small spikes protruding backwards at their hairline. Women in their culture are not expected to fight.

Kirridi - Catgirls. Of course there are men too. They are a UNT member.

Mon Kett - Like monkeys. They have a decently powerful military and part of the UNT. Their name was from a typo of monkey so though it was funny enough to include.

Morda Lan - Humanoid insects with slim white exoskeletons. They are known as the most powerful magic using race in the UNT. As such they hold a lot of power in the alliance and can be found all over it.

Nihn - They are somewhat similar in appearance to humanoid lions. They are in the top 5 most populous races in the galaxy so can be found all over, especially in the west. As such, many joined the UNT but they also have their own ancient empire.

Nimin - Stereotypes as a geeky race, which is mostly very true. They are very slender and have two patches on the sides of their head that serves as a more primitive, secondary set of eyes. Their fingers and toes are long and slightly webbed. They are not particularly aggressive but some take part in the UNT military.

Phrariuen - A weird, laky, hammer headed, blow hole sporting aquatic race that's known for having the best navy in the UNT.

Rawnpolli - Their face shape is similar to owls and their feet have three toes (one facing backwards) and talons; their fingers being similar but not one facing backwards, instead being a thumb. However, they are more closely like reptiles and have small scales. They are extremely populous, the top 5 most so in the galaxy, so can be found all over. Some are part of the UNT, and that some still equals a large number.

Umeii - An aquatic race with coral-like structures on their body and a tail that can eject water like a jet. They are the most powerful of the elemental alliance, which is part of the UNT, comprised of a water (themselves), earth (U'icha), and air race.

Valliur - Founding race of the UNT, leader fighting against Yu Ghreda forces in a war long past. Often admirals but not very populous now. Super high tech. Tall and lanky with long, rectangular heads.

Yu Ghreda - Founding race of the UNT, leader fighting against Valliur forces in a war long past. Tall, muscular, green skinned humanoids.

Yuelsei - The top most populous race in Andreemea, scattered throughout the galaxy. They have pink toned skin, very long pointed ears, with dark pink fur on the back that matches their hair. Their eyes are larger and further apart than humans. Their nose is thin and pointed.

MODERATELY IMPORTANT RACES


Andorr - Have rounded armored skullcaps, backs, and tails, resembling a humanoid dinosaur to some extent, but their face is more human. They are a UNT member and don't specialize in anything in particular as a whole.

Chidrini - Secretive, colorful fairy race which does what they want and often act as spies and has powerful magic.

Chirill - Humanoid bug race that's militaristic and not entirely trusted with their fellow UNT members but is getting better. They use quantity over quality and aren't good with vehicles.

Cyturn - Race that surrounds themselves in powerful cybernetic suits, making them like elite soldiers of the GAN empire. They cannot survive well without the suit due to messed up DNA.

Ferun - Found mostly in the northwest and are militaristic. They change their bodies when becoming adults to fit one of five great tribes based on different elements. This changes their fur color and other characteristics. They are very religious and courageous.

Furzai - Look sort of like werewolves from earthling mythology, but don't transform. They are in the far west of UNT territory and their donated planet to the alliance serves as a sector headquarters there. They are not very populous in outside sectors, however.

Ghee - Officially named Ghyrtykmaw, they are like humanoid gophers standing 4 feet tall. They can have different hair colors and patterns but most in the brown, tan, black, white range. They are an extremely populous member of the GAN empire and often a butt of jokes due to their focus on quantity over quality, making them like canon fodder comic relief whenever they show up. However, due to their numbers and with proper backing from the GAN, they can overwhelm most opponents rather quickly.

Gurhha - Looks sort of like a mi between a humanoid dog and pig. They are probably the most powerful race in the GAN empire after the Aunarri. They are intelligent and good eaters despite looking like a race thought to be sloppy.

Selva - Like elves, but in space.

Tan'ghei - Loyal dog-like race.

MINOR IMPORTANT RACES


Drenor - Manly human men inspired by the movie 300.

Einein - Can change their tails into different shapes at will. Mostly pirates and are bad at it. They are grey skinned, 4.5 feet tall, and have some horns.

Gheiss - A mercenary race with a dog eat dog culture. They are purple skinned and have chiseled bodies with two rubbery looking horns and dark hair.

Jurra - A wimpy looking humanoid bird-like race that's peace loving and often partakes in humanitarian and religious events. Not a very common race, however.

Ka'thik'rhhi - Like millipedes but intelligent and often makes good engineers who crawl into equipment to see what's wrong, or even sabotage the enemy's.

Korrvain - Dwarf-like beings working for the GAN empire.

Korworffian - Like corgis but standing on two legs. They are eager to please but often fails, especially in military endeavors, despite having decently large numbers.

Meinauw - Slightly large housecats with four ears and hold more power than what most would think possible. They san spray a hormone on someone to call for felines to relentlessly attack them. Don't cross them.

Molluun - A legged snail-like race known for their slow wit. Only important because some joking references may be made about them.

Oon'o - Giant crab-like race that's a member of the GAN empire.

Quoldar - The first race to develop space travel. Like very large armored slugs with arms.

Teeraphals - A rich, cone headed race with floppy ears and blue skin.

Teloran - Beings with rock-like skin.

U'icha - Plant-like beings.

Veenar - Diamond-shaped structure on their head. They are smalland child-like. They are known for being decent at magic but cowards.

Veiriss - They have chalky white skin pointed ears, grey hair, dark eyes, and slim but very powerful bodies. They are super skilled assassins, as that's all most of them know.

UCHU KITAAAAAA

Name: Starla Stratos
Age: 27
Gender: Female
Race: Madronean
Homeworld: Research Super Station over Banton V
Position: Gunner.
Personality: Actually rather feminine in personality, compared to most Madroneans, Starla still has an enjoyment of physical activity and controlled combat. In fact, she was a minor league Grav Ball player before she left to join the military. She could always just join the military's Grav Ball league. When not on the field, she likes to wear sundresses or moderately athletic clothing, though she wouldn't put on makeup unless she was attending a formal event. She's fairly relaxed, and enjoys sweets.
Appearance: The young lady of brown-blond hair is athletic and beautiful. Her eyes are a stunning, vibrant green, reminiscent of emerald, and she always wears a crystal on a cord around her neck. It's a soft, gold color, not unlike her hair.

Abilities: Skilled Grav Ball player, and a pretty good shot on a turret. She has a weird knack for artillery...
Equipment: Standard issue military stuff for a gunner, her crystal necklace, and a personal, modified Grav Ball mech suit. It's like an enhanced pilot suit, with boosters that are charged from an arena's surface.

Biography: Starla's mother was Madronean, and her father an Earthling professor. With the introduction to physical activity through combat, Starla found her love of physical activity, but she took to sports over martial arts. She really liked watching Grav Ball, and grew up wanting to play. Through school, she displayed an aptitude for the physical sciences, taking classes like wood and metal shop. She went to college to play her favorite sport, majoring in Physics and minoring in Mechanical Engineering. She built her own mech suit to play with, and that's the one she's brought with. She's been considering modifying it more, but any more might make it an league-illegal suit.

Grav Ball is a game played in an anti-gravity arena, often with floating spheres, or specks, in the middle to liven things up. Players want to get a ball from the middle of the field through the opponent's goal. You can only catch or throw if you are standing still or otherwise not modifying your momentum. You can be gliding through the air and catch and throw the ball. Grav Ball suits have boosters that are charged by standing on the arena's surface or by standing on a speck. These boosters allow players to modify their velocity while not magnetized to the arena's surface, but only last a short time. Players are free to kick or otherwise bump or strike the ball whenever.

@ImportantNobody

Name: Msaliti “CG -145”

Age: 10 As he is a clone of the general he was grown for a purpose and has only been truly alive for a few years.
Gender: Male
Race: Ouroboros
Homeworld: Uzalishaji Ardhi(Breeding Ground Planet)

Position: Security Field Commander

Personality: Msaliti was bred for one purpose; to lead the army put under him into battle. Due to this he finds it hard to understand the emotions of others and will often insult or upset people when all he is doing is explaining something. He has no grasp of the culture of other worlds and is not the best person to ask if you’re having problems that cannot be solved using either a tactical mindset or a brute force approach.

He has been called heartless and out of touch with the real world but insults do nothing to him but challenge is honor and only make him want to prove himself as better than others. As a result he has been in many fights over simple things as simple as who gets on a ship first. Msaliti is not actually cold hearted, he literally doesn’t know any better as emotions were never part of his training and neither were manners.

Apart from his emotionless attitude Msaliti is a man of honor and respect. He will happily swear his loyalty to anyone who best him and is more than happy to follow a leader. During his training grunts were seen as a disposable resource however, Msaliti has learned that his comrades and the strange thing they call friendships that he develops with them are not.

Appearance: Msaliti stands well over six feet tall and looks down on most races average heights. The armour that covers his back is jet black and has a sheen to it. His exoskeleton is light grey and littered with war wounds and scars from fights. His eyes are deep red. He lost his antennas from an explosion.


Abilities:
Enhance Reflexes
Eidetic memory
Can lift upto 7 tons at a push and carry it over a short distance
Tactically Gifted
Almost Emotionless
Able to master most firearms
Understand most common languages but does not speak them.

Equipment:
Waist belt containing ammunition
A Rail Rifle. Clip loaded (20 Shots a Clip)

A mule pack that is attached to his abdomen allowing him to carry rations, spare ammunition or other important objects.

Biography: Msaliti’s original name was CG-145 (Command General #145) a name he was once proud to have however now he has a different name. Msaliti, which means Betrayer in his mother tongue. A fitting name as he abandoned his home and the life as an Ouroboros General. This was due to a number of reason.

The first being that when a Prime has fulfilled its use to the empire it is taken back Uzalishaji Ardhi and then killed by having their brain removed from their skull in order to analyse what they saw and develop tactics for future engagements with the enemy. While most Primes have little self awareness about themselves CG-145 was different and did not want to die in such a way he deemed as dishonorable.

The second and probably the most important reason was because he had disobeyed orders. In fact CG - 145 had to be forcibly removed from combat for disobeying orders and pursuing the enemy after he was ordered to fall back. This level of disobedience was unheard of by primes however instead of executing him they kept him on as a general and thrust him back into battle hoping that he would provide them with useful information when he was retrieved.

However instead of fighting the enemy he joined their side. He saw a side of the Empire that he did not want to be a part of and decided enough was enough. With his tactical genius and knowledge of the Ouroboros army they were able to quickly beat and force the Ouroboros off the planet. His victory was short lived as his would be allies did not see him as a savior but as an enemy.

Forced to flee the planet, his honor in tatters and no one to blame but himself. Ashamed of himself he named himself Msaliti to remind himself of his greatest mistake. He now wanders the galaxy in search of a way to redeem himself.

I will get to typing up my idea once the races are posted. I'll use part two of my opening post, the post I reserved, for the basic information on races, equipment, planets, etc. that will be important and then get to more in depth info on the wiki.

The standard spacefigther for cramped conditions, such as our ship, is given the nickname the Box Kite, later abbreviated to Bokite, and then called the Bow fighter. A slight nod to the tie fighters in star wars. Get it? Bow tie? I'm here all week!

They are very cheap and don't have landing gear or anti-gravity so if they have to land on a planet it's a crash landing. They are light and manueverable and are decent at firepower. Defense could be better. Their nose cone can be replaced for different weapons.

There's a few other spacefighter models that could be considered standard but the Exeralune would definitely use bokites.

@ImportantNobody Alright, thanks.






Name:
Y00-17 or 'Metalhead'

Age:
10 (Since activation)

Gender:
N/A; Prefers the pronoun 'he'

Race:
Faera-designed Multi-purpose Naval Droid

Homeworld:
Liorea

Position:
Fighter Pilot

Personality:
Y00-17 is formal and well-mannered, much like the Matriarchy he was created by. Metalhead was built to be fiercely loyal to the Faera people; his loyalty emanates to his new crew and associates as well. When Y00-17 first came off the production lines, he had the bare minimum of information installed in his primary memory storage unit. He was given only what was absolutely necessary for the completion of his duties. This lack of knowledge led Y00-17 to develop a sort of curiosity. He's constantly asking questions, seeking out others opinions on subjects as well as the objective facts on anything and everything he encounters. Metalhead's thirst for information is not without its drawbacks. With little to go by, he'll often accept information on new material without bothering to fact check. This naivete has led to more than one confrontation (such as the time someone told Metalhead that alcohol kills people, and Y00-17 proceeded to burn down a local bar.)

Metalhead is inherently protective of innocent life. He has no problem ending an enemy combatant who refuses to surrender; however, Y00-17 would rather go offline than kill a prisoner or a civilian. His staunch moral code has led to numerous quarrels with more morally ambiguous commanders.

Appearance:
Y00-17 stands at exactly 6'2 and weighs 610 pounds. His exoskeleton is made mostly up of Feerilesh, although Metalhead's body also incorporates other, tougher metals for increased protection. The majority of Y00-17's important components are located in the chest region, where it is most heavily armored. The primary and secondary memory storage units are built inside the head, right behind the sensory package. Metalhead's claws and talons are quite sharp, able to pierce most flesh rather easily. When the sheer sharpness of these weapons proves not enough, Y00-17 can revert energy into superheating the tips, allowing the blades to cut through more durable materials.

Y00-17's design was inspired by Faera myth; specifically, the creature known as the Falimawe. The Falimawe was said to wander the small island of Faliohu, sister island to Kailisila. The Falimawe was said to devour any troublemakers who went to the island. The beast was said to be allergic to water. There were only two ways to avoid being eaten by the Falimawe: either perform an ancient cleansing ritual on the creature, which was said to be extremely dangerous due to the Falimawe's aggressive behavior. Or, alternatively, become a good, law-abiding citizen. After all, the Falimawe only ate troublemakers. The myth was originally made up by natives to keep the rowdy young tourists away, but over time has attracted many a young Faera looking to prove their courage. The newer generations have turned staying out in the islands jungles for an entire night alone into a trial for the uninitiated.

Abilities:
Metalhead was ranked in the top one hundred spacefighter pilots in the Faera Navy. His skills behind the stick are exemplary; few organics can match Y00-17's reaction times and accuracy. The only drawbacks being his lack of creativity when it comes to dogfighting and relatively slow mount up time. (Seeing as how Y00-17 has to download into the fighter even if he's standing right next to it, it makes sense.)

Aside from his piloting skills, Y00-17 was also designed as an anti-boarding party defense unit. He's fast on the draw and has impeccable aim in tight quarters; it isn't uncommon for Metalhead to head shot a trio of attackers who got the jump on him before they can open fire. Even when his firearm runs out of ammunition, Y00-17 is trained in Faeran close combat martial arts and is able to use his claws to great effectiveness when facing infantry of all sorts.

Y00-17 is not a robot, per se. He is more accurately described as a sapient program capable of independent thought; or an artificial intelligence. Y00-17 is able to download into any system wirelessly or via a Universal Serial Bus cable that is compatible with its code. Inter-Galactic model devices and Faera systems are the easiest to access; however, Y00-17 has been known to bypass certain security nodes in order to directly control an alien technology. Even if Metalhead's exoskeleton is destroyed, as unlikely as that is, Y00-17 could continue to live on within the Exeralune's systems alongside ANI.

Equipment:
Y00-17 wields the IG Defender, an Elzion full-automatic machine pistol with a 35 round magazine. The weapon possesses an extremely fast rate of fire and is incredible light and compact, allowing for ease of use in the commonly compact corridors of a spaceship or a spacefighter. However, the Defender's accuracy drops off considerably after 50 meters. Y00-17 carries around an attachable barrel which extends the range up to eighty meters and decreases recoil, but makes the weapon heavier and more cumbersome.

Y00-17 is equipped with a personal shield generator, designed to protect against energy weapons and explosives. Kinetic ammunition is able to pass through the cling shield; however, Y00-17's exoskeleton is tough enough to protect itself against most small arms. The biggest threats to Metalhead are armor piercing kinetic rounds, especially in shotguns or sniper rifles.

Metalhead also carries a temporary self-repair kit on his person, as well as a number of magazines for his IG Defender and backup power cores for his primary exoskeleton. The exoskeleton itself is extremely durable; capable of absorbing extreme punishment without falling. Metalhead is quite strong, too. He is able hold in own in a contest of strength against many of the more robust species. But for all its durability and strength, it is Y00-17's surprising speed and agility that makes him deadly. The enemy never consider the heavy set machine to be as quick as it is; as such, when Metalhead dashes into their ranks and reeks havoc among their infantry with his machine pistol and claws, the opposition flees in panic, confusion and terror.

Biography:
Y00-17 is a not a unique machine. He is one of tens of thousands of Multi-purpose Naval Droids designed and built by the Faera. The Y00 series Metalhead belongs to, however, only completed twenty fully operational robots before production was shifted to other priorities. 17 and the other Y00s were assigned to the 9th Frontier Fleet, who were responsible for colonizing new worlds in the name of the Queen. The Y00s were kept close together and allowed to form their own Air Wing. Metalhead and his 'brothers' swiftly made a name for themselves, claiming over two hundred kills between them within the first two li'nel of service. They operated as a single mind. A single weapon to be wielded against even the most powerful foe. Y00-17 received the nickname 'Metalhead' when he purposely crashed a severely damaged fighter into the bridge of a pirate cruiser. Somehow, the spacefighter remained active long enough for Y00-17 to open fire on anything still alive inside. A nearby Faerin commented that the pilot must have a 'metal head' to have survived that crash; not knowing that the pilot's head was literally made of metal. The name stuck, to say the least.

It has been said that an Artificial Intelligence can never die. That they are immortal. This claim is false; Y00-17 has witnessed this sad truth first hand. During a battle with one of UNT's primary rivals in the north, the Y00 Air Wing was sent straight into the heart of the enemy fleet; they were to escort the bombers to the opponent's carriers and flagship and make sure the bombers escaped to rearm. The bombers were crucial to 9th Fleet's success, after all. They had fighters in spades, however. The Y00s were not expected to return; no one would have mourned their loss if they had not. The run had been successful. Carriers were burning and the flagship was heavily damaged. But the cost had been high. Metalhead had watched as his closest companions for the better part of eight years were blown away by swarms of drones. Y00-17 fought like hell to get the majority of the bombers back to friendly space. Only two of the AIs survived that fight. Y00-2's memory core would later become corrupted by an unknown virus, leaving Y00-17 as the only Y00 series droid alive in the galaxy.

Metalhead spent the next two years hopping from command to command, causing trouble for every Faerin commander he was put under. Y00-17 didn't see himself in the wrong; he did only as he was programmed to do. But certain actions he took in the name of his higher code hindered the Fleet's progress overall. Eventually Metalhead was honorably discharged when he took a hard line stance against a particularly corrupt captain's breaking of intergalactic law. Instead of allowing Y00-17 to take these recorded events to Command, the captain blackmailed Y00-17 into willing leaving the military.

The wandering machine was recruited by UNT when they learned of his veteran status and reputable skills and morals. His first assignment was to a ship called the Exeralune, under an individual known as Hidden Eagle.

I'll look at the posted character sheets once I do the basic race info but before posting the bokite's more in depth info, I suppose.

I'm about 60% done with the races. I have a ton of them already so that's why it's taking so long.

I posted the list. Most of the most important races are included. However, I still have a twi'lek inspired race, and AI race, and a fox race to include into that category. And maybe a badger race that are freed slaves will also be most important. Will have to work on them tomorrow.

EDIT: Oh, and one not yet part of the alliance that seems too much in appearance to a falleen race from star wars so I'm thinking of changes to them.

Quick question: are human names similar to names on Earth, I.E. John, Nate, Peter, etc. or are they completely different?

Wow. Someone's done his research. Looks like I have a prime candidate for future moderator on my hands. Even bravely navigating the poorly edited Faera matriarchy page.

You can feel free to edit the IG weapon series page if desired to include that weapon.

What Faera myth are we going with? Maybe some creature that roams one of the islands, eating up all the troublemakers? Luckily it can't swim and you have to pour water on it's head to stop it and then become a good citizen or something. It could be a trial of courage for young Faera to row a boat to that island and walk around it at night. There's no other dangerous creatures outside, not including the ones you could find almost anywhere anyways.

Speaking of myths, I forgot to mention, but gods can be another name for High Beings, a race in another dimension called Chahara Vee (or the high dimension). Some races claim they are just a normal race, others claim that they were gods, some claim they don't exist. Some only recognize the gods who are part of their mythology, claiming the rest are false. Most stories are embellishments.

Quick question: are human names similar to names on Earth, I.E. John, Nate, Peter, etc. or are they completely different?


Great question. They wouldn't be earthling names. It depends a lot on culture exactly what their names would be like, such as how American names can be vastly different than Japanese and you can instantly tell the difference if from their culture. Most would sound like how people would name fantasy characters. They look easy to read typed out in english, unlike some alien names.

Some could be earthling names but would say, "Oh, that's actually a coincidence. I'm an exendrian human, not from earth"

Haha. I was just reading through the wiki and thought the Faera were a decent creator for what I had in mind.

I'll do that soonish.

Ooh. Sounds quite interesting. What would the Faera call such a creature? They seem to be fans of letters such as K,F,S and E. Perhaps their name could be based off the island they inhabit; I was thinking Kailisila. Myths would probably gravitate towards the place the Faera believe they originated from. Kailimawe? Silanu? Uhhhh. Kailesian? I'm just spit balling at this point.
