[OOC] Voltron: The Universal Defender

[DrewVonAwesome]

The Galra empire has reigned over most of the known universe, led by Emperor Zarkon. Although a few planets have been able to fend off his growing forces. The times are of desperation for those still defying the Galran forces. Those who know of a particular legend however believe that there can still be hope. Long ago, a strange alien technology created a group of four robotic lions. These lions choose their pilots, and when all five work together. They can form a mighty force called Voltron.

Now five unsuspecting beings from across the universe are going to answer the call.

The Black Lion - Thembelani Bhekabantu Ghakarhi Gabadeli (Burning Kitty)
The Red Lion - Jason "Jace" Planesfield (Keyblade87)
The Blue Lion - Princess Allura (Burning Kitty)
The Green Lion - Daniel Hardcastle (Drewvonawesome)
The Yellow Lion - Alcori Mierco (Duthguy)

Also, positions are not set in stone yet, plus extra characters like Aura's princess can be filled in. This is early and I don't want to discourage someone who will put their fullest into this RP just because others have said they want a spot in the interest check.

Lion Man to the rescue

Name: General Thembelani Bhekabantu Ghakarhi Gabadeli

Appearance: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/00/8a/68/008a686745eb60dd747ff2629c13f489.jpg

Age: 43

Species: Imbubian

Planet of Origin: Imbube

Personality: Thembelani is a natural born leader, has been since he was a cub where he a group of cubs on a survivalist mission were dropped in the middle of a jungle, when they made it back everyone of them insisted if it wasn’t for Thembelani none of them would have made it out, Thembelani insisted it was a team effort. He remains calm and collected no matter the situation, when faced with his people’s extinction he didn’t bat an eyelash he sacrificed everything to give them a chance.

Lion: Black

Bayard weapon: Rifle (still carries his Imbubian swords)

History: Imbube was a planet without war but a standing military large enough to wipe out a planet’s civilization within a month. So when the Galra came they fought back but after twenty years the war it was becoming apparent they were going to lose. The upper brass was already talking about enacting the final solution. Thembelani had risen in ranks quickly from his time as a cub. He watched many friends and family members die, even been forced to kill them to keep them from being taken. As a general he was privy to information that those below him were not. When talks of the final solution began Thembelani abandoned his post and stole an experimental never tested before stealth cruiser that was shelved when Galra came, he used it to get past the Galran blockade. He did not do this because of cowardice; he did this to save his people. If the legends of Voltron were true then he could use it to save his people and wipe out the blight of Galra forever. He would eradicate every Galran man, woman, and child.

I have a CS for Allura as the Blue Lion pilot mostly ready if no one else wants to be Blue.

He may be yellow, but he is no coward

Name: Alcori Mierco

Appearance: pre08.deviantart.net/45e2/th/pre/i/201..
Age: 25

Species: Alternian

Planet of Origin: Alternia

Personality: While not the smartest person in a lot of situations Alcori is an above average mechanic, mostly because his species his species has been forced to rely on salvaged and repaired technology. He is not a fan of violence unless aimed at those who deserve it like the Galran, he also avoids killing if at all possible and tries to do it as quick and painless as possible whenever he does resort to it.

Lion: The non blue leg aka the yellow one.

Bayard Weapon: Stun Baton

History: Alternia is not actually the original homeworld of the Alternians, that planet was destroyed by the Galran 3000 years ago. The few survivors fled to the first inhabitable planet they could find, a desert planet used as a junkyard by several other races. They named both the planet and themselves after the alternative to extinction they found.

Alcori was a member of a group of kids calling themselves explorers, mostly they "explored" they city they lived in. He was probably the one most serious about it or at least the only one who grew up to actually explore the planet, mostly in search of any machinery that he could repair and sell. On one of those trips he found symbols, that even he could tell were ancient, depicting some kind of giant lion on a huge metal door leading underground. Not understanding their meaning or value he didn't look into learning more about, nor did he bother to mention his findings to anyone.

By the way, burning kitty go ahead and post your character sheet in the character tab.

Jason (Jace) Planesfield

Name: Jason (Jace) Planesfield

Appearance:

Jace

Age: 20

Species: Human

Planet of Origin: Earth

Personality: Jace is a firey and hotheaded individual. He sees value in teamwork but values friends over anything else. The fastest way to get Jason fired up is to insult or put his friends in harms way. Growing up in a small town in Georgia he learned to defend himself and his friends without question.

Lion: Red

Bayard Weapon: Arm Blade. An energy blade extending from his wrist over his hand about a good foot and a half. (picture Magnaangemon from Digimon for an idea of what I mean)

History: JAson grew up in the foster care system in the state of georgia and while he never knew his real parents he did like a lot of his foster parents even if they did give him up after he would fight in school. Those fights were always about defending someone else and many foster parents didn't like that about Jason. Stating that he was too hot headed and prone to violence. Finally a family came along that decided to channel that anger into Martial arts where Jason excelled. He quit getting into fights in school and finally had found a forever home.

[Burning Kitty]

@Duthguy

Well I say that considering the name of your character is the same name as the character in the picture you used. So I'm a little concerned how much else of him is borrowed from that.

[Duthguy]

@DrewVonAwesome You can check here, if you think I copied too much let me know and I'll make some changes

[DrewVonAwesome]

No seems fine, just wanted to make sure.
