My character sheets:

Christopher Briggs

Name: Christopher Briggs
Age: 19
Species: Human
Appearance: Skinny, 5'8", toned
Personality: Scientifically minded. Hardworking, and likes to learn, though up to this point he's only used it to try and get ahead at work and in life.
Skills overview: Technician 3rd class, Tai Chi/Karate/Wing Chun style Martial arts.
Position on crew: Jr. engineer, later he'll become a market analyst/adviser
Years on crew: 0, first day
Bio: He grew up on Earth with his 4 siblings and parents. When he turned 16 he got a job at a factory that made high-voltage capacitors. He eventually moved out of his parent's house, shortly after turning 18, and into a factory-apartment, an old factory building into which people had moved shipping containers and installed amenities into them to make them into apartments. After work he often walked to a Buddhist monastery two miles away where they taught self-defense courses to earn money to make up for the almost nonexistance of donations.
Three years after getting the job, he was contacted by his cousin. The video email told him about his cousin's new ship, and asked him to come to trade station alpha to work for his cousin. Eventually he arranged for his cousin to pay for his journey, and he quit his job. He boarded the space elevator to EarthSat 1, then arranged passage on a salvage ship that was heading for Trade Station alpha.
They took the hyper-gate to the station, and a few days later he was there.

Griszma

Name: Griszma
Age: 17 (maturity the same as a late twenties human)
Species: Hibros
Appearance: 6'4". Black Hair covering her body. 29" tail. Wears black leather armor made from the hides of animals she killed, with a hole in the pants for her tail. Generally carries her laser bow (a spring loaded bow with the power from the springs being transferred into the bow's UV laser emitter. Can burn a partially cauterized hole in a human 10cm deep.) and two slightly curved titanium daggers.
Personality: Concerned with duty and honor. Currently, her duty lies with Julius. She will stick by him until he betrays her or no longer needs her.
Skills overview: Hand-to-hand fighting, Ship-to-ship combat, Tracking, Electronics
Position on crew: First Officer
Years on crew: 3.5
Bio: She grew up like any other Hibros, living in a forests of her homeworld, learning to shoot with a pump-bow (it created energy by moving a magnet through a magnetic field), and being taught to track by the skilled trackers in the area. When she turned six she started studying machines and, though she didn't really do well with the more complex ones like computers, she excelled with simple devices like integrated circuits. She was also at the top of her class in ship warfare tactics.
At the age of twelve she took a job as a tracker for a Drow ship looking for pirates that had raided one of their colony worlds; they had come to Hibral to hire trackers because the Hibros are rumored to be the best trackers in the area. When she located them in a hollowed out asteroid 12 lightyears away, she helped them to capture base and release their prisoners. After that she was hooked on space travel.
When the Drow released her from her contract she started signing up with other races to work as a tracker or fighter as a mercenary. Eventually, this lead her to Trade Station Alpha when the race she was working for needed to find a source of Deuterium fuel for their people. When they released her, after they signed a trade agreement with a Harvester alliance at Jupiter, she went in search of a new job and met Julian, who needed to find a certain dangerous criminal so he could catch him for the bounty. After the man was located on Venus, having used plastic surgery to hide and get a job as a miner, Julius asked her to stay on with his crew. She agreed.

Julius Briggs

Name: Julius Briggs
Age: 25
Species: Human
Appearance:
Typical Spacer. Cheap, outdated battle armor (without a helmet because it would hide his face), Close cut beard (about a day of growth, but trimmed that way), Black hair, brown eyes. Carries a rail pistol on his side, in case it's needed.

Skills overview: Brawling, shooting, Cunning speaker
Position on crew: Captain
Years on crew: 4.9, since he bought the ship
Bio: He grew up on Earth, his dad a mechanic at the local Spaceport, his mom a nurse. When he was 16 he got a job at the spaceport loading cargo. When he learned that one of the ships was hauling more than just the standard cargo, he covered for them and they offered him a job.
He saved up his money and one day, when the smuggler ship was docked at Trade Station Alpha, he met a salvager in a bar. The man had just found a K-3 Dwarf with a leaky reactor in the asteroid belt, its crew having long ago died from radiation poisoning. He bought it with the large amount of money he had stowed away and, after quitting the crew of the smuggling ship, fixed it up. When he was finished making repairs he went looking for a crew. They ran missions throughout the nearby space, smuggling or mining at first, but eventually expanding their skill set to include anything that could turn a profit.

My species sheets:

Hibros

Name: Hibros

Similar non-intelligent lifeforms: cats/dogs
Appearance: 5'10" - 6'6", Mammalian, fur, tail
Biological traits: Retractable claws, fangs

Isaella "Izzy" Rennold

Name: Isabella "Izzy" Rennold

Age: 25

Species: Human

Appearance:

Height: 5'4"

Weight: 124lbs

Personality: Izzy is a kind soul. She enjoys the company of others, and is the kind of person people go to for advice. She's good at talking to people and can usually resolve situations. Despite her kind personality, she can be stubborn at times when she thinks she's right and she's not afraid to put you in your place. She doesn't like bullies and she doesn't like those who think they're better than everyone else. While she is an extrovert, she occasionally likes to just get alone and read a good book. She doesn't open up about her past much. But then again, not a lot of people ask.

Skills overview: 4 years of Navigation training, 4 years of piloting small cargo ships, and self defense training.

Position on crew: Co-Pilot

Years on crew: 1.2

Bio: Izzy grew up on Earth, most of her childhood she was an only child. She occasionally mentions eventually getting a younger sister, but not much is said on that subject. As she grew older, she began to training for a piloting license. Her father forbid the pursuit but she followed her passion anyway. Once she left Earth at the age of 21, she worked small jobs that took her to Trade Station Alpha. There she met her now deceased girlfriend and would later meet Julius and sign up with him, after some convincing on both ends.

Zip Marlep

Name: Zip Marlep

Age: 21

Species: Cybernetically-Enhanced Human

Appearance:

Personality: Zip is arrogant and obnoxious, and all around unlikeable. He uses a lot of sarcasm in his speech and in his jokes, which many could take offense to. He gets along with a select few who challenge him intellectually. He will speak his mind, even on topics he knows nothing about.

Skills overview:
Programming,Robotics, Coding, Security Evasion

Position on crew: Computer Expert

Years on crew: 3

Bio: Zip was always fascinated with computers. Throughout his childhood he was learning how they work, how to use them, and how to manipulate them. He was reprimanded many times for illegally accessing his high schools network, switching out students he didn't like for those he did and changing his grades. As he got older, his skills increased and he was considered for a position with the government. However he told them to "shove the position up [their] asses." Soon after the failed recruitment he illegally modified his own body, adding cybernetics enhancements that would make his "hobby" easier.

His eyes hold screens, which allow him to work away from a desk. His hands hold sensors, allowing him to use them in place of a mouse. The sensors in his hands also allow him to control his small drones, along with any robot he gains control of. He has a holograph projector on the left side of his head, which allows him to project images in front of him.

He uses his own heart to power the equipment. As long as he remains alive, he will never have to charge the enhancements. However, should the equipment short out, it could cause a massive heart attack.

Amanda

Name: Amanda Holden
Age: 33
Species: Human

Personality: When it comes to business, Amanda will get what she wants, and she will do anything to get it. Literally anything. She doesn’t let anything get between her and payday, and that’s exactly how she likes her business. Any emotional baggage is set aside for later.

However, when the business is wrapped up, Amanda really loosens up. She becomes a much more pleasant and enjoyable person, and is incredibly sociable. Some would say she’s too sociable.

Skills overview: Amanda has decent combat training, though she excels at business management and in social situations.

Position on crew: Amanda’s primary role is in the day-to-day and long term management of the ship’s business operations, though she is also useful (and commonly utilized) in a soldier role.

Years on crew: 4

Bio: Born into an upper class family in England, Amanda’s early life was defined by a luxurious, easy life complemented by a family that didn’t quite want her. During her teenage years, she turned to drugs and began running with a group of people that weren’t the best influences on her emotional development. Her drug habit built up and Amanda began to amass a debt to her suppliers. By the time she was 18, it became clear to her creditors that she couldn’t pay off her debts. They murdered her family, leaving her with absolutely nothing, and threatened to put her to work running drugs across Europe in order to pay off her debt.

In order to escape, Amanda joined the military and found herself sent to space. She served for two years, amassing basic military knowledge, though she did not understand or appreciate the rigidity of the military life. She eventually abandoned her post and roamed space, taking up odd jobs in order to sustain her nomadic lifestyle. She moved from ship to ship, simply enjoying the freedom she found in space, where she truly felt that she came into her own.

At twenty-seven, Amanda found Trade Station Alpha. There, she signed up with a small smuggling ship, where her talents in business management were recognized; with Amanda at the helm of their business operations, the smuggling ship began to excel and profits rose at an unimaginable rate. After two more years with the smugging ship, Amanda moved on, looking for something new to refresh her life. She met Julius, and has stuck with him ever since.

Orkz

Species Overview sheet:
Name: Orgariens to the fancier races, they call themselves Orkz

Homeworld: Gromm. Desolate rock blasted to kingdom come by constant warfare. Most of the vegetation is gone and the oceans are near nonexistent. It is this putrid excuse of a planet that the Orkz call home.

Similar non-intelligent lifeforms: Squigs. Short, mean, and full of teeth. The squig is a fast breeding vermin loved by the Orkz of Gromm for their tenacity and all around "orkyness". The average squig looks like a ball of teeth placed upon two clawed feet and rarely exceeds 3 feet in height.

Appearance: The average ork is about 6 to 7 feet tall of muscle and bone, but warriors grow larger as they survive battles. Age brings about a darkening of skin pigments which is a good measure of how old an ork is. Starting at a bright green then steadily darkening as they grow older. Another feature famous to orks are their teeth. On average, these teeth can get to be about three inches in length with two larger tusks located on the lower jaw. Finally orks do not grow hair.

Biological traits:
-An ork would have to be exceedingly exceedingly lazy to get fat and by the time he did so he would have died. Basically orkz don't really get fat.
-The reason that orks have green skin is that they are actually part plant, with chlorophyll laced into their bodies. This makes them able to survive if food is short.
-Ork teeth, or Teef, grow exceptionally fast. So much so that Gromm's economy is ran by how much teef you have, it seems to work for them.
-It would seem that Orks were created specifically for surviveability in mind. With their fast breeding rates and monumental ability to survive even the most serious wounds its a miracle that they seem to fight amongst themselves than with the other races of the galaxy.
-From birth, Orkz have an instinctual knowledge on how to battle. However there are a select few that are born with more specialized knowledge. These few are called Wyrd Boyz and they known how one facet of science works on an instinctive level. How well they fallow these instincts is another thing entirely.
-In theory, Orks can live for hundreds of years. However their constant warring with each other leads to short lives.
-Finally the difference between male and female is slight. Females look slimmer and more athletic than the huge muscles of the males.

Cultural traits: Orks don't have a religion as much as "Orky Rulez".
-"Da biggest is da best"
-"Neva run from a fight"
-"Explodin is jus a part of learnin"
-"You can neva have enough Dakka"

Secondly orkz love combat, its basically in their DNA to fight. As such there is no term for "Civilian" or "Non-Combatant" in the Ork language. This has gotten them in more trouble than they care to admit, or remember.

Specialization: For the most part, muscle. Orkz aren't the smartest creatures in the galaxy but they can hit harder than most and keep em coming. However their mechanics, or "Mek Boyz" are geniuses when it comes to making things work with limited resources.

Tech: Rusty, banged up, and reliable. Ork tech may not look pretty, or practical... or sensical, but you can't deny that it works. For the most part they are made from scrap metal and god knows what else, but they are known to work even under the most strenuous of environments. One thing that they have going for them is their inovation of turning metors into sprawling cities.

Lug

Height: 8'0 (243.84cm)
Weight: 329 lbs (149.232kg)

Name: Lugnaught but people just call him Lug.

Age: 50

Species: Ork

Personality: Lug is a fairly affable fellow that likes to kick back with a strong drink every once in awhile. When on the job or invested in a new invention he is kind of a grump but not to the extent of being a jerk, he is more stern than anything. Oddly enough, Lug has lost the inherent aggression that is present in all orkz and he will be the first to tell you that it is in fact, a good thing. When intoxicated, Lug turns into a boisterous Ork who tends to boast and challenge others to feats of strength.

Skills overview: An ork "Mek Boy", Lug can fix almost anything mechanical in nature like mechs, trucks, and engines. However he doesn't have a clue on how to fix things that are more energy oriented, nor does he want to. Lasers just ain't orky enough. Lastly he speaks Ork and common, albeit heavily accented in a way that just so happens to sound like the cockney accent of Earth.

Position on crew: All around Mechanic, repair man, and emergency miner.

Years on crew: 2 and a quarter.

Bio: A long time ago, Lug was just a mek boy in a war band. Day in and day out all Lug would do was fix things the other orkz broke. Trucks, battle wagons, tanks, mechs, guns, and cybernetics. To Lug it was all quite boring to him, he wanted more. After his 40th year, Lug stole a flyer and traveled to some far off planet that didn't even have a name. While there he did the same thing he did before but added mining into the mix and he loved it. For once in his life, Lug's every waking moment wasn't dominated by fixing broken crap. Lug spent a good 6 years on the planet but he soon found that it was lacking... danger. As an ork, Lug needed danger. It was an itch that needed to be scratched.

Quickly leaving, Lug bounced around and took odd jobs from time to time. Eventually, Lug found that a man named Julius was in need of a mechanic when his previous one died in a explosion/fire/ass tons of shrapnel. When Lug found out that other dangerous stuff can happen on the ship he practically begged to work on the ship. Since then he has been a diligent mechanic and has come to like everyone on the ship in one way or another.

Other: While not having the best mug this side of the galaxy, Lug is not a stranger to the ladies. For the most part he tends to stick with warrior types.

Drow

Species Overview

Name: Drowlath (Also known as "Drow" in general.)

Homeworld: Ariel; A planet much like earth Ariel is larger in size and has 2 moons. Almost the definition of a fantasy world the planet was populated by several intelligent races, including humans and goblins. Under the surface the Drow live in coexistence with the surface races but can be considered the dominate race because of their more advanced technologies.

Similar non-intelligent lifeforms: Fea; The first beings to have an aura they have been extinct for a long time, they became Light and Dark elves but after their exodus into the underground they evolved into the Drow (Dark elves became Drowlath, Light elves became Drowassu)

Appearance: The drowolath are one of several genetic descendants from the dark elves of the surface, having evolved since their exodus from the surface. While features vary, they almost always tend towards fine-boned structures. The further removed a drowolath is from their dark elf ancestor, the more 'drow'-like they become; a second or third generation drowolath might still retain the dark hair color with only some white, while a tenth generation might be lucky enough to have a slight coloring left. Because there is little variation in hair color and body shapes, many drow dye their hair, paint their faces, get tattoos or adorn their bodies with precious gems to set them apart from others.The females are the dominant gender, being larger and stronger then their male counterparts, and this has dictated their entire cultural code.

Biological traits:
-Average Height - Females: 2.25m / 7'4, Males: 2.08m / 6'10
-Drowolath skin is dark chocolate brown, but depending on the region can come in coal black, pale brown, or light brown.
-Drowolath eyes can be shades of brown, dark grey, orange, yellow, green, blue, magenta and violet.
-Drowolath hair is usually white; in earlier generations, some coloring inherited from dark elf ancestry remains.
-Drowolath ears are long and pointed.
-Drowolath possess auras, and are able to use Mana Tech. Their auras can be converted into physical energy making them living batteries..
-Drowolath eyes are able to see into the extended spectrum, able to see well in the dark and view heat sources.
-Drowolath age at a ratio of 2:1 (2 years to every 1 human equivalent year; i.e., they age at half speed.) Mental aging is only two years behind the human equivalent. (ie. a 10 year old drowolath is the mental equivalent of an 8 year old human.)
-Drowolath stop aging at age approximately age sixty.

Cultural traits: Drowolath culture is an incredibly varied thing, yet at the same time can be tracked into varied patterns. The most obvious social facet is the Clan system, where the nine Great Clans each have their own traditions, perceptions, prejudices, and atmosphere. For the Val'Illhar'dro, everything is a celebration of creation, and the ability to make beautiful things is highly respected, whereas in the Val'Sarghress, how one looks or what one can make are perhaps less important than how powerful or cunning one is. To further complicate matters are the numbers Minor Clans, Houses, and common populations which develop social stigmas and trends sometimes independent of the Great Clans. In short, drowolath culture is fluid, constantly evolving, and as strikingly fascinating as it is, at times, dangerous.

Specialization: All Drow can almost be considered living batteries because of their auras, known as mana by them it is actually an ability to guide and control the excess amount of energy their bodies give off. Because of this most Drow tech is based off of using the wielder's aura instead of an internal battery pack. Though few in number having a Drow of any sub race is wanted on a ship because they can provide extra power to the ship with their auras.

Tech: Their technology is very up to date and advance, their ships are capable of intergalactic travel with built in energy generators, most of their tech is designed to use a Drow's Aura to be powered but they have methods of creating independent power for larger devices or power distribution across cities. Their ranged weapons are energy based, weaker than ballistics but far more efficient with ammo. Their ship are also built for energy weapon combat, they have heavy shields but lack in armor to defend against missiles.
In ground combat a Draw wears full plate power armor or pilots a Golem into battle (A aura powered mech), they never fight in open conflict preferring to use small marine teams to sabotage enemy ships or elite commandos on solid ground.
Civilians have access to a connected network on Ariel and colonies, planet to planet communication is done through satellite rely. Almost every Drow have a special bracelet that acts as a universal communicator and messenger.
Most Drow refuse to use foreign technology, preferring their own since they do not need to worry about power sources.

Kyne Val

Character Sheet

Name: Kyne Val'Sharen

Age: 39

Species: Drowlath

Appearance:

Height 7'6" (232cm)
Weight 167 lbs (76kg)
Bust 33.9" (86cm)

Personality: Kyne gets along with the crew, like most of the others she enjoys a good drink and sometimes gambles some of her extra money for fun, being on a ship with small quarters may get to some people but being a subterranean species Kyne does not mind the lack of privacy and is not very shy, though sexually she acts a little naive but if someone wants to and gives her a little push (or after a couple drinks) Kyne will open right up. She enjoy interacting with the others and can get in friendly competitions with Lug and Yasha (usually drinking or gambling) but when given a task she becomes dead set on completing it. She joined the crew with the promise from Julius that they would someday go to the asteroid belt where she lost her Golem and retrieve it.

Skills overview: A retired Mech pilot she reached the rank of Captain in the Draw exploration fleet marines. She has knowledge on large engines, knowing how to maintain and repair them but she is more in tuned to smaller vehicle/ships and the mining equipment onboard. Perfectly at home in small spaces and with the ability to see in low light conditions Kyne is perfectly at home on the ship and underground, actually preferring them to open areas. Her native language is Elven but she can speak Common (English) and Goblin (which is strangely very similar to Orgarien's language)

Position on crew: Mining Engineer

Years on crew: 2 years

Bio: Born on a colony Kyne had two paths she could choose from in her youth, either head down into the mines or join the military, it is ironic that she ended up on a mining ship. She starting her military career at the young age of 21 (the youngest a draw of any subspecies can join the military) she started off as a marine in the Ariel defence fleet, moving to the Drow homeworld. Because the draw were mostly at peace Kyne never saw much action and actually signed on as a Golem pilot for the exploration fleets to get away from doing boring patrols and for a much much higher paygrade. Call sign "Can Opener" Kyne saw a few skirmishes during her tour often doing recovery missions on old derelict ships.
It was an ambush on the exploration vessel by a fleet of pirates that made Kyne want to retire, She made it out of the fight uninjured but her Golem was heavily damaged and had to be ditched for her to escape safely. After this she finished the remainder of her tour and retired with her rank as Sergeant.
Kyne was then picked up by Julius' crew on one of the Drow trade stations while they were selling some raw materials, they needed a mechanic and she had the skills to fill the role. She join on the promise that they would visit the asteroid belt where she had lost her Golem and hopefully recover it.

Notes: Golems are basically a 15 foot mech suit that run off of the pilots aura energy for a power source, they replace the main battle tank in Drow combat tactics. A Golem pilot is very attached to their mechs during training a pilot is required to assemble their own suit and maintain it themselves, unlike the marine armor a pilot must have a Golem specifically tailored to them to increase the integration between pilot and machine.
Kyne also owns a 3 bedroom flat back on her homeworld Ariel, she collects a monthly payment from her tenant who rents one of the rooms, they live there at a heavily discounted price with the deal that they maintain the flat as well. It gives Kyne a little extra spending money.

Tensai Murasakiiro

Name:
Tensai Murasakiiro

Age:
23 (52.9 human years) Waizueirian years

Species:
Waizueirian

Appearance:
7'7'' (2.31m) in height, 38.2 lb, with two bones from his Rib Cage missing (but are not stumps where they would have been, due to the fact that they can't completely heal), one is cracked, and another one one his back is facing the wrong way. His skin has a very light yellow-ish/blackish tint to it, not much, but noticable, especially in the right arm. Wears the standard Pirate outiftand has all the cyborg upgrades. His pet parrot looks like any normal parrot, but cyborg.

Personality:
He, like others of his species that didn't want to be apart of the tribe anymore, both had the pursuit to fight and the pursuit for knowledge. Tensai is both smart and a fighter. He can be serious at times, but can also joke around. He's very good at being honorable to allies and friends, as is natural instinct, but he wouldn't hesitate to end their life if any ally became a threat. In summary, he loves to learn, fight, and is honorable to allies/friends.

Skills overview:
Amazing melee, education, and strength from his time at the tribe and personal experience. He also has a pet cyborg Parrot.

Position on crew:
Swordsman/Heavy lifter

Years on crew:
3 years

Bio:
Tensai was born after the tribe conquered a planet and used it as a birthing ground, like every other Waizueirian. He lived normally as the other babies did, he crawled, he grew, he learned, until eventually, it was the day when they would either become a Scientist or Barbarian, he decided to become one of the othr type of Waizueirian, an outcast. He was born like some of the others were born, different. Instead of wanting to mindlessly kill or help mindlessly kill, they wanted to leave the tribe and go away. He was upgraded, bid farewell, and then left. He explored a bit, and learned. He fought aliens, studied, and altogether grew. He evenutally found the Station. He decided to join it, and so he did, and worked at it his hardest for three years, so far.

Waizueirian(species)

Name:
Waizueirian

Homeworld:
The planet was a lot like Earth, but a little bit smaller and with no moons. Many, many intelligent races used to live across the planet spanning from all sorts of life-forms, befroe they were all murdered to extinction and harvested their resources and supplies. Their planet's years only last twenty-seven Earth days. The planet is now abandoned of any sort of intelligence and only holds wild species and plants.

Similar non-intelligent lifeforms:
N/A

Appearance:
Averagely 7'5'' (2.26 m) for females and 7'8'' (2.34m) for males in height. Average of 37.9 lb for female and 38.1 lb for male. They have no eyes, ears or noses, hair, and don't have any lips. They're skin is pure white when they are born, but as they age, it turns yellowish-black-ish over time. The Barbians either wear a 1600s human pirate, captain, or scientist outfit, depending on cultural specifics.(more detail in Cultural Traits)

Biological traits:
-They take damage and are hurt by things a third averagly slower than most other species, but they regenerate half as slowly as other species, and certain parts of them cannot fully regenerate once broken.
-They age at 1 : 2.3, so they age 1.23 times slower than other species. A Waizueirian at about 5 years old would be an 11 year old if they were human.
-They never run out of energy, and will fight until they crumble to ashes.

Cultural traits:
-When they reach youth, meaning they've developed everything but still have a lot to learn, they are either chosen to be a Barbarian or a Scientist. If they are chosen to be Barbarian, they are upgraded by Scientists and become Cyborg, then they fight in the battles between other races and conquer planets. if they are Scientist, they devote their life to studying and learning, to develope more upgrades for the Barbarians.
-Once around 52 (120 human) Waizueirian years old, if they are Barbarian, they are put at the front of the lines when going into battle, so that they can take more blows than the actual young and new Barbarians.
-As they age, they get more ranked. If they are Barbarian, when they get to be around 30 (70 human) Waizueirian years old, they are promoted from Pirate to Captain, because a Waizueirian rarely gets to be that old. Their outfit changes to match, as well.
-All Waizueirian stick together and work as one big tribe when discovering and conquering, and would never, on their honor, betray their kind. They're different from other species in the way that they don't divide into different tribes, they stick together as one, no matter what.
-The captains are always the leaders when they go out into battle, commanding the troops, organizing the scientists, etc.
-When they conquer a planet, they will spend their lives gouging out it's resources and creatures, using the planet as the world's largest birthing ground and feast.
-Very rarely, a Waizueirian is born different from the others, and instead of mindlessley killing other species or studyingto help mindlessley kill other species, they want to leave the tribe and live differently. And so, these are upgraded, sent out into the universe, but are not allowed to come back, due to honor rules.

Specialization:
They are honorable, and would never kill of revenge. They only destroy planets at random, but are known to go after predatorial planets first, a coincidental thing that allows the other friendly species to escape the galaxy before the Waizueirian move onto their panet. Basically, they are very good warriors and tribespeople who are good at destroying predators and accidentaly allowing the friendlies to live.

Tech:
Strengths- They have abolutely some of the strongest cyborg technology in the universe. It is packed with weapons, power, and energy. The scientists, putting all their work unto the cyborg upgrades, have made it so that the cyborg upgrades allow the Barbarian to scan the are and see all life forms within it and through X-Ray, let them jump extremely high, and let them swing a sword or punch very hard, and the user almost never gets tired. The upgrades are also quite light and durable. They can instanly pull a sword out of their armor for instant melee, and if the melee gets lost or broken, they can summon a new one, up to five times.
Weaknesses- The cyborg upgrades cannot touch water, or else it shot-circuits and causes the Barbarian to go unconcious. The Barbarian cannot get it's core, which is located where the human heart would be, damaged or broken, or else the Barbarian goes unconcious, and then when they wake up (if it's not repaired) the upgrades will not work, and basically be turned off and unusable until repaired. Due to how the armor works, they can only use the sword that their armor gives them. Basically meaning that they can only use melee, no ranged, and the melee is only a cyborg pirate sword.

Other:
The reason this species dresses and acts like 1600s human pirates is because recently after the species started creating large civilizations on their homeworld, they looked into the stars and saw the human pirates. The species took a liking to these human pirates, and so they dressed and acted like them, shaping how their civilization and species acted as a whole. Fast forward a couple hundred thousand years, the humans now are mostly cyborg, and the Waizueirian decided to check up on the species that shaped their history. They found out how the humans had robotics installed into themselves, and like before, this news broke out and flooded their people. They decided to make the scientists research into this, and after about a year of work, they were able to upgrade every newborn Barbarian into cyborg.

I like Lug, he should make the mech more dakka when he works on it.

That is the plan.

@bobo: I'm a bit confused as to what Tensai is calling the guys.

Is he saying "lades" as in "Ladies?"

Or "Lades" as in "Laddies"? As in young men.

Or is it some alien word that they wouldn't know the meaning of?

I think it's as in young men.

laddies, I wasn't actually sure how the word was spelled, so I just did 'lades'

[Metronome]

You could just spell check it :/

For some reason autocorrect on my computer isn't working and also a dictionary didn't help

Eliza Marko

Name: Eliza Marko
Age: 25
Species: Human
Personality: Chill and fun loving. Eliza is someone who seems to be happy pretty much all the time, but not in a way that is obnoxious, she is usually very relaxed for someone so outgoing.
Skills overview: Has been on ships since she was 17, been navigating since she was 19, has some experience running small smuggling vessels between worlds.
Position on crew: Navigator
Years on crew: 2 years
Bio: Eliza was born to a poor family in a colony on Mars. Her parents moved there looking for a new life after Earth became more and more crowded, though what they found on the new world was more or less the same than what they were living in on Earth. They did their best though, raising their daughter to the norms of the Tausav culture (A small sect of people living in Bosnia who thrived in the late 23rd century but whose numbers have been dwindling ever since). This involved constant dying of Eliza's hair as well as the cultural makeup. This was shunned by most of Eliza's peers, as many of them had not ever known of the Tausav people. Eliza looked to the skies for comfort, always dreaming of one day getting to fly in between the beautiful stars.

At the age of seventeen Eliza dropped out of school and took up a low level job on a cargo ship. She was particularly interested in navigation and spent a lot of time with the navigator on the ship. By the time she was nineteen she was junior navigator on shipping runs between galaxies for a few years before breaking out on her own to do some less than legal work. After a couple years doing that with moderate degrees of success she decided it was probably better she didn't run a ship without help. She stayed at Trade Station Alpha for a couple months before meeting Julius at a time when she was low on cash.

I held off on bringing Zip and Izzy into the Airlock cause it seems kinda crowded. As soon as people finish their introductions I'll introduce them, or someone can bring them in if they want someone to interact with.

I love how a bunch of the characters are weirded-out by the cyborg-pirate he's officially one of my favorite characters :)

[Tawkua]

Would anyone be opposed to me just editing my post to say they actually arrived at the airlock as not to miss out on all the beginning conversations?
