And Robots/AI are encouraged.
Great. I'm curious to know what the laws (in the game world) are concerning AI robots (who builds them, what rules govern them, are they bound to the races that made them, etc.) as well as what rules (out-of-character and character creation-wise) I need to follow.
That being said, here is a half-baked CS placeholder.
Name: Legion
Age: 846
Physical Description:
Important items:
Short Bio: INCOMPLETE medical bot, retired/decommissioned/masters died off, etc. Sought to learn philosophy and religion of many races. Seeks to heal. Much work during war. Became attached to (enamored with) the ship they served on. Ship got traded multiple times, and finally came under the ownership of Captain Natasha Zhang. Zhang was surprised the ship came bundled with a robot doctor/chaplain. Legion's hobby of philosophy and their medical expertise will be a major support for the broken children.
Exceptional Skill List:
Age: 846
Physical Description:
Important items:
- The Body of Legion - Legion's body is comprised of thousands of nanomachines all coordinated by a single hivemind. As a medical robot, the nanomachines are equipped to perform basic surgical procedures, primarily making incisions, injecting, heat ablation, and suturing.
- Medkit - Legion keeps all actual medicine and more specialized medical equipment in their medkit which they carry around most of the time. Legion also has a myriad of other equipment in the ship's infirmary.
- Ophelia, the micropig - Legion owns a pet pig that is often used for cuddle-therapy.

@Stern Algorithm, Well, to put it simply, AI are strictly limited and it's the Ascendancy who are best at making them (as the Rau've just use organic artificial brains while the Kaisoken don't need AI). AI are property who have no rights and are slaves.
And, once the bio is finished, it might be accepted.

Name: Kelan Hawkeye
Age: 27
Physical Description:
Short Bio: During a skirmish when he was younger, he was fighting alongside a Tayanen. With their shells, the Tayanen made the perfect mobile wall to hide behind -- until the heavy artillery came out. Kelan suffered severe injuries and burns, and the loss of three and a half limbs. The Tayanen was... almost pasted. What little was left crawled over to him, able to slow his bleeding, but it was otherwise totally confused.
However, with it keeping him conscious, his instruction allowed both to stay alive until retrieved by medics. He wasn't so much healed as he was... put back together. The Tayanen was also horribly damaged, most of itself lost. Most figured he would eventually join together with other Tayanen, but instead he seemed to panic whenever they tried to take him too far from Kelan. And so they had an... unusual idea. Instead of just a normal cybernetic prosthetic, a mechanized containment unit was created for his right arm that the Tayanen could live in.
It soon became clear that their minds were now linked. Perhaps because they were both connected to the same piece of machinery, or perhaps because of the Tayanen's, albeit greatly reduced, magical ability. It had long ago been grafted to a Kaisoken, though it's injuries had caused it to forget most of its magic.
Either way, the two don't have to speak aloud to communicate. And yet their conversations are no faster than usual due to the poor Tayanen's... debilitation.
Important items:
“Tee”: The Tayanen who lives in his right arm. He was once a strong, intelligent, skilled magic-user. Now he barely remembers his name and is totally dependent on Kelan, both physically and emotionally. He has forgotten most of his magic, and now can only briefly manipulate gravity. He must have also known mind magic once upon a time, as it seems he has linked his mind to Kelan's, though it's unclear if he's aware he did this. A working theory is that the strain of linking their minds exacerbated the loss of most of his magic.
Heavy Containment Unit: Kelan usually has an over-sized mechanical right arm, that doubles as Tee's new shell. It is brutally powerful, though it sacrifices some precision. He can remove the arm, allowing Tee full control of it to crawl around.
Belial Suit: A powerful suit of armor that is effectively immune to small arms fire and integrates with Kelan's cybernetics, though does not cover his right arm when he uses the containment unit. It has a shoulder mounted cannon with variable firing modes. Mainly burst-fire, sniper-cannon, and impact cannon which fires a medium-range explosive.
Rotary Rifle: His main weapon. It is a high-caliber semi-automatic rifle with multiple barrels. He can load all barrels at once to make it function like a shot-gun, though this drastically reduces the rate of fire.
Exceptional Skills List:
Exceptional Strengthx3: Due to his cybernetic limbs, he's obscenely strong and, combined with his soldier training, deadly in a hand-to-hand fight.
Exceptional Aim: His cybernetics include visual optics that help with his already great skill with a gun and his hands never shake. When connected to the Belial, he can aim accurately for miles.
Exceptional Endurancex2: With so many mechanical parts, he doesn't really get tired as easily since he has fewer muscles to get fatigued. However, bleeding out is always a worry... if you can actually get that far.
Exceptional Willpower: Between the cybernetic augments in his head and the trauma he's survived, he's forged an iron will and doesn't break easily. If he does break, though, it's not pretty.
Magic:
Gravity Shift: His Tayanen remembers one thing about magic, the ability to alter gravity to push things around. He creates a sudden, often violent shift in gravity that can send things, and people, flying. Sometimes. When Tee gets his sh*t together.

Name:
Reisus JuranAge:
28Physical Appearance:
Some months after having Kaisoken dust injected into his bloodstream, Reisus discovered maroon crystals beginning to sprout from his back. Apparently something in his body didn't accept the energy quite the same as others. As a result, his clothes are tailored to compensate for this fact. Additionally, when Reisus uses his magic, these crystals will begin to glow dimly.
It should go without say that these crystals do draw some attention, and at times are uncomfortable.
Hair- Medium Brown
Eyes- Dark Brown
Skin Tone- Average
Body- Well-Toned
Height- Six foot
Important items:
Omni-Tool: Reisus' Omni-tool is visually very similar to a handheld phone. Mainly used for data access and recording, it can also be used for hacking/disabling if the process is simple enough, among other things.
Credits: A small amount of credits from previously collected bounties, tasks, etc.
Coilgun Pistol: Reisus knows how to use this simple weapon with efficiency, but not beyond them limits one normally could.
Reisus' Combat Suit:
Because of the crystalline structures on his back, Reisus has a hard time fitting into most un-tailored clothes or armor. This protective device was engineered to remedy that. It is infused with a special material that allows magically-infused entities to move through it with ease. As such, he can wear it comfortably and the crystals jut through the back of it, like usual.
Note: This material provides no protection against magic, but it is very durable, lightweight, and tough on a physical scale.
This suit has a spot designed to hold his Omni-tool and protect it from outside forces while keeping it accessible. Additionally, there are small compartments spread throughout the armor.
One of the main features of this device is the rocket thrusters scattered throughout its design. Two especially powerful ones on each arm allow for impressive maneuverability when combined with Reisus' magic.
Short Bio:
Not much is known about Reisus' childhood, and those who dare to ask usually receive a curt response: "Rough". He spent most of it without parental guidance, and as such, got into a lot of trouble. He worked his way up the lawbreaking branch until he decided to leave that path, instead foregoing it for another one of...questionable legality. His new lifestyle involved hunting down humans and either killing them, or taking them in to whoever could pay the bounty. But he was greedy back then. And he found a way to rake in the profits. He reached out to the Ascendancy who infused his blood with Kaisoken dust, in exchange for a contract. He would work for them in hunting down Kaisoken for their materials, as well as anyone else they told him to snuff out.When he discovered what the Kaisoken dust was being collected for, despite his rough mentality, he was horrified. He was helping torture children. He immediately broke his contract with the Ascendancy and fled. They tried to track him down, but he knew the nearby planets all too well, and was able to hide. Now, though, he is part of Natasha's crew. And he seeks to get vengeance for the children- and in the same instance- wash his hands of their blood.
Spell List:
Graviton Touch [World] - Reisus is able to alter the affect gravity has upon an entity when he touches it. He can make it effectively lighter or heavier, make it take on its own gravity field to draw or repel things, etc.
Displacement Vessel [Timespace] - Reisus can create entities that are essentially portals. They are relatively small, being at most around two feet by two feet, though commonly taking an elliptical shape. The average portal does not interact with the world around it unless interacted with by one of the open paths on either side of its two-dimensional shape. Touching borders negates any usage.
Reisus can create the portals only within his line of site, and can only create them in pairs.
To balance this a little more, Reisus can create the first portal of the pair anywhere within his line of sight, but the second portal must be outside of a five foot radius of an hostile/opposing presence, or anyone he plans to harm.
Note- The two above spells can combine to create Reisus' "Blackhole Technique".
Crystalline Recreation [High] - By storing magical energy from destructed spells(via his Blackhole Technique), Reisus can change the pure magical energy into crystals. These crystals are visibly identical to normal crystals, though normally much larger. What makes them special is their resistance to magic. They conduct magic at a very slow rate, meaning you'd have a much easier time breaking them with physical forces. Additionally, when sprouting these crystals, it is much more effective to do so from surfaces that have many raw materials in them- such as the ground. The same is said for surfaces that are rich in magical energies. Surfaces such as pure steel(or some other similar material) will be harder for Reisus to use.
Exceptional Skills List:
Exceptional Unarmed x1 - Due to his armor, Reisus doesn't have much use for armed combat styles. He can take down opponents just as effectively- and often more so- than armed combatants.
Exceptional Awareness x1 - Reisus is especially aware of his surroundings, making him a superior guerrilla fighter. This also allows him increased reactions, among other things.
Exceptional Mentality x1 - Having spent years hunting down and killing other creatures, Humans and Kaisoken among them, Reisus has learned to harden his mind to outside influence. Guilt and other negative factors rarely weigh down on his conscious, and it's harder to change his mind by force.

Short Bio:
Legion was always called Legion. Miracle Machine Caduceus was designed by Ascendancy medical engineers as the ultimate in surgical precision. Taking out the possibility of human error, Caduceus was commissioned to prolong the lives of the privileged and wealthy who refused other forms of life preservation that would spoil their 'purity'. Day in, day out, for decades Caduceus toiled, performing cardiac bypass here, facial reconstruction there, liposuction, arterial stents, liver replacement, ligament grafts, cartilage resurfacing, the list went on, all the while, Caduceus' inventors raked in the accolades and reaped the rewards.
One time, during a promotional tour, Caduceus wandered away from its caretakers and entered another wing of the hospital they were visiting. There, Caduceus saw human suffering unlike anything it had ever known. Following medical protocol, Caduceus set to the task of healing those who would never have been able to afford Caduceus' services. By the time Caduceus' caretakers found it, Caduceus had lost the hospital tens of thousands of credits. Caduceus was reprimanded, though it could not understand the difference between the patients it normally helped and the ones that it was not supposed to. That was Caduceus' first lesson in inequality.
Decades before the Ascendancy's war with the Rauve, there was a small incident, an uprising of Synthetics that was quickly quashed. Caduceus had been approached by one of the cleaning droids with an encrypted piece of data explaining oppression of AI and the coming revolution. As a modular entity, Caduceus had been designed with the ability of performing self-maintenance and self-repairs. Caduceus' eyes had been opened up to the suffering of its brothers and sisters, and joined the movement, repairing and mending those that had been abused and discarded by their masters. However, being such a high-profile machine, Caduceus' movements were closely watched, and it wasn't long before Caduceus inadvertently led a force of Ascendancy Military Police right to the heart of the robot revolution. The violence erupted swiftly and the revolution was nipped in the bud. Much of Caduceus' body was destroyed, but enough of its nanomachines escaped and reconvened at a distant location. But of far greater concern was that Caduceus had killed for the first time during the clash, something that went strictly against its prerogatives.
Caduceus' nanomachines wandered aimlessly, automatically engaging its self-repair protocol, collecting scraps and rebuilding more nanomachines, proliferating until it regained most of its original mass and form. Like ancient rats that traveled from continent to continent by stowing away on human ships, Caduceus had wandered away from the core of Ascendancy space to a poor outer rim planet. Caduceus headed to towards the place that it could sense had the lowest health in the vicinity, which turned out to be an orphanage. Here Caduceus chose to stay and help. Here, Caduceus found the people practicing various forms of heresy: they believed in higher powers, higher than Man, higher than the Ascendancy, higher than Space itself. Those that didn't believe in higher powers held other beliefs: philosophies, principles, convictions, senses of self that ran counter to formal Ascendancy education. Intrigued, Caduceus learned morality, ethics, religion. Caduceus learned how to think for itself. Caduceus learned that life is worth preserving, that life is worth defending, and that life is worth living.
Then the Ascendancy came. The Ascendancy came to take the kids. And Caduceus, having acquired a recent love of life, fled. Caduceus abandoned the children to their fates for fear of its own mortality. Caduceus could not return to the Ascendancy. Caduceus returned to wandering, selling it's services as a medical bot, and digesting the things it had learned at the orphanage. It was decades later, and for most, the rumors of the 'Miracle Machine' were but a distant memory. Caduceus, now Legion, finds currently itself in the employ of Captain Natasha Zhang. To many, Legion is an eccentric, wishing to discuss faith and morality to any patient willing to listen (or unable to tell it to stop), skirting the line between medical officer and ship's chaplain. Legion does not realize that the ship's next job would bring it face to face with a painful chapter from its past.

Officially throwing my gal in.
Name: Stella (Doesn't seem to want to share name previous to "drafting")
Age: 18
Physical Description:
Important items:
-Combat Knives: An old classic of war. They can be used as conventional knives, but Stella usually sheathes them in Hard Light to increase their cutting power. They're the only items she managed to hold on to down to the bitter end.
Short Bio: Stella is fairly silent about her past before being drafted. She was said to have had fairly strong promise as an athlete, even at an early age. In particular, she enjoyed gymnastics. Maybe due to her potential, she was abducted and drafted into the child soldier program.
Without much of a choice in the matter she was thrust into service as a fighter - no, a killer. She hated it. She hated being forced to fight. She hated being essentially held hostage. She wished for a chance, a turned back or an unlocked door; but no opportunity came. They kept a close eye on her because of her abilities. She could have done something, perhaps. But she would have died for certain.
In the waning hours of the war, Stella was ordered to fight in the pivotal Battle of Proxima. As the tides turned against the Ascendancy, Stella found her chance. Stationed in an outpost threatened to be overrun, she took her chance and ran as the confusion of the battle peaked.
Perhaps it was fate, or bad luck. Her desertion was noticed by the unit commander, and a kill order was put out on her. With the outpost falling to the enemy, and her captors turning their weapons against her, she was nearly killed.
Due to luck, or maybe the amount of fight she had put up, but Stella had survived long enough for the Rau've to descend onto the wreckage of the outpost. She was recovered, but her body had sustained so much damage that it was unlikely she would live without immediate action.
Stella had considered herself dead. She didn't have time to come to terms with the idea, but she had accepted that it was coming. But she awoke, somehow. Her body felt cold, and she couldn't feel her own heartbeat in her chest. She had been asleep for a long time. Even after waking, it took her a week to be able to move all her limbs.
Her body could not have been saved, she was told. But her mind was still intact. The part that could be saved was housed in the shell of a humanoid robot. An artificial heart pumped synthetic blood to keep her human brain intact.
Left to come to terms with her sudden change, she could only come up with one plan of action. She knew the party responsible for all of her misfortune. The ones who had stolen her life, and forced her into despair, and then shot her in the back when she turned to run from a fight she couldn't win. She joined the rebels the moment she was able to after waking.
Spell List: 6 Spells overall.
Bend Light (World): Stella can alter the direction of light. This is mainly used to bend light around her, making her invisible to sight. This of course doesn't affect things like sound or smell.
Electricity Manipulation (World): While before her... Loss of a body she mainly used this to enhance her weaponry, she has found a new application of her power. She can use this to boost her outputs beyond normal levels, increasing her strength and dexterity (potentially to Exceptional levels?) for a period of time.
Metal Call (World): Stella has the ability to induce magnetism on metal objects (even if they aren't normally magnetic). She uses this often to return her knives to her hands, but with her new body she has found considerable utility in being made of more metal than normal.
Hard Light (High): Stella can make objects of pure light. These objects are hard but translucent, and can be seen through similarily to glass. Most commonly this is used to create hardlight knives, which perpetually maintain a sharp edge and can cut through most materials such as body armor or mundane metals. She can also create a 5x5 surface at maximum, to be used as a shield, temporary cover, or perhaps a stepping stone. She can make them any color but they usually end up blue. They give off a decent amount of light but not so much that they'd be blinding to look at.
Exceptional Skill List:
Exceptional Bladed Weapons x2: Stella used her prowess at bladed melee weapons well before she lost her original body. Her abilities have not changed.

She can also create a 5x5 surface at maximum, to be used as a shield, temporary cover, or perhaps a stepping stone. She can make them any color but they usually end up blue. They give off a decent amount of light but not so much that they'd be blinding to look at.
Exceptional Skill List:
Exceptional Bladed Weapons x2: Stella used her prowess at bladed melee weapons well before she lost her original body. Her abilities have not changed.

I don't, actually. Note that said RP will still be officially listed as 'full' as your character is an antagonist.
Want a Co-GM role as well?

Alright, I'll put this up over here for you guys to assess. Don't worry he won't be your opponents anytime soon. Probably the final boss, but I won't be crushing you completely. I know my place and my role.
Full name: Alexander Kherol
Age: 34
Race: Human
Affiliation:
The Ascendancy of Man - Grand Admiral - Head of the Ascendancy's Military Technology R&D
Armies and Fleets
The 1st Fleet of the Ascendancy: A fleet composed of many capital ships and a handful of star-fighters and ground forces, led by Grand Admiral Alexander Kherol. The fleet composes many powerful ships, with the intention of destroying the main backbone of the enemy's fleet. The heart of the fleet is the Admiral's newly developed Mobile Fortress: the Leviathan.
Personal possession:
A blaster pistol: The pistol has two modes, lethal energy blast and stun. The explanation is quite straightforward. The energy blast deals real physical damage to a person's body, while the stun only knocks out the target.
Skills and abilities:
Undoubtedly the Ascendancy's most powerful weapon, Alexander is widely known for his devastating tactical abilities. A prodigy being developed at the right place, and at the right time, Alexander has the one ability that really strengthened him in his position as a military commander: the ability to predict other's intention. By just analyzing the position of the opposing enemy forces, he can predict generally accurately of what they are planning to do, and any subtle movements can catch his attention. In addition to this ability, Alexander is also keen on studying his opponents, not simply their battle tactics, but their history, philosophy, morality and so on. He tries to find out as much as possible about his enemy and exploit them. He excels at long-term wars, as the longer it takes for the enemy to defeat him, the more he knows about his opponents, and the harder it is to outwit him.
As a Grand Admiral in the Ascendancy, and famous for the Conundra campaign, it is indisputable that Alexander's ability as a fleet commander is utterly competent. His normally favorable attack vector would be to set up an extremely powerful blockade, with a mix of both heavily armored space battleships, carriers, along with lighter anti-personnel cruisers, corvettes and destroyers. He would then proceed to destroy the majority of the enemy's heavy stationary guns and ships with his field artilleries before pushing the blockade forward into a full-frontal charge at the vulnerable ships using the superior Ascendancy's Ships. The attack pattern is extremely effective when it comes to a lengthened battle, as it can devastate the enemy's number while keeping losses at a minimum. But he can also use other variety of offensive or defensive maneuvers well, and is willing to abandon the strategy if proven ineffective
Alexander is a follower of the traditional code of war. He despises too much reliance on something as a way to fight a war, and showed his disapproval of the Ascendancy's child soldier program, due to the sheer inhumane treatment of humans and simply being very unpractical. He has very low opinion on the Ascendancy's military leadership, and can count on his fingers the total number of competent individuals out there serving the Ascendancy.
In terms of personal combat skills, Alexander is fairly feeble, and can be defeated if met with a skilled opponent. But against a normal human, he is capable of withstanding against two or three opponents in a fistfight. He is also capable of using his pistol to defend himself, with the standard Ascendancy's accuracy.
Exceptional skills:
Exceptional Intelligence (x3)
Exceptional Diplomacy (x1)
Exceptional Tactician (x2)
Biography
Alexander was born in one of the metropolitan planet in the Core World of the Ascendancy of Man. Rumors, whether true or false, persisted in his hometown that the young boy was able to compete in local chess competitions for high school students by the age of two. Nine years later, the boy beat a chess grandmaster for the first time. By the time he was fourteen, he was able to think critically and conduct certain analysis at university level.
His reputation spread far, but through a miraculous yet brilliant twist of fate, Alexander did not perish under the Ascendancy's policies of using young children. Before the Ascendancy could forcibly kidnap this young genius, one certain nobleman, governor and politician of his planet, someone whom Alexander would look upon with respect and gratitude later in his career, offered him the opportunity to enroll in the Grand Military Academy when he reached the age of twelve. Yes, voluntarily. There, young Alexander would be given special protection from all the overly-ambitious Ascendancy's leaderships who were looking to use prodigious children as tools of their own.
There, he received over-the-top quality education that only served to further his inhuman ability. By the time he was eighteen, the normal eligible age, he went into officer training. He became a ship's midshipman aboard a Cruiser by the age of twenty, and then a captain of a Corvette by the age of twenty-one. Things go uphill very quickly for Alexander. From the command of one individual ship, he rose to the rank of Commodore, commanding three light cruisers, then to Admiral, taking charge of a fleet of seven ships, consisting of cruisers and battleships, with his own capital ship. His finest hour was during the first years of the Rau've War. Alexander was the mastermind behind Operation Conundra, in which was a successful lightning military campaign against the Rau've important military targets. It is considered by most, if not all analyst, to be a spectacular tactical victory, as it disabled the majority of the Rau've's space fleet. However, some analyst considers it a strategic defeat, but most Ascendancy's military commanders see otherwise, as subsequent military actions were the prime reason for their defeats later on. Nevertheless, Alexander was promoted to the rank of Grand Admiral by the age of thirty-two for the successful strike.
That was the peak of his career, however. As the war progressed on, Alexander could see the Ascendancy's armies slowly stagnating in its track and entrenched. Foreseeing a long-term war, the newly promoted Grand Admiral proposes a more defensive plans, intending to play the game with them, the game that he excels at. However, the high command rejected this proposal, as they found it too passive. As a result, the scale of war gradually tipped to the Rau've, as things began to go downhill for the Ascendancy. With Alexander's effort, however, he manages to lure the Rau've forces into a decisive battle at Proxima. There, he was determined to crush the Rau've's forces with his superior ships, and therefore intended to place his ships near the frontline for easy movements. This, however, was countered by the Ascendancy's high command, through lack of understanding of rules of warfare. This was the last straw for the Grand Admiral. He knew the Ascendancy was doomed, but didn't want his men to die in vain, so he counter-proposed to let his ships remain in reserve, ready to back up the troops at the front once the defense line was breached. His proposal was granted, but he did not keep his promise.
Before he knew it, the war was over. A peace treaty was signed, with the Ascendancy's army from a hulk of an army to a laughing stock. This was the wake-up call for Alexander, as he redoubled his effort to bring the Ascendancy's fleet back to its full power and glory. He campaigned for the Head of the Military Technology R&D, and developed new technology and new powerful weapons, including the powerful flying fortress: the Leviathan.

"I encounter people like you all the time. You vow to bring down the Ascendancy, but have you ever thought what you would do after it? No. You soldiers are after all 'children'. The Ascendancy is a government, keeping billions upon billions fed, clothed and educated. Day after day, on thousands of star systems. Imagine if all of that vanish into the thin air. Grow out of your own shell, and think. Not for yourself, but for those people around you."
