Age: 24

Appearance

Gender: Female

Occupation: Midwife, Doctor, and Scientist.

Tools/Weapons:

Skills/Powers:

Bio: On the ship from earth there was many frozen embryos, sperm, and eggs. This was done as a way to preserve the human race, and prevent inbreeding among the predicted low percent of human survivors. Lilo mother Rubetta, volunteered to be inseminated along with many other woman. Nine months later Lilo was born. Though not biologically related, Rubetta considered Lilo as much her own daughter, as her then seven year old son Oleander. She grew up in a rather simple, and carefree home environment. Her mother was a herbalist, and midwife to the Zion colony.

Meh, I'll just scrap it then. No point in lugging something like that around/wouldn't really make sense storywise.

[Protagonist]

I like Astra, but I'd even go a step further and have the law be that it can't look perfectly human (though you can just have something simple distinguishing it as a machine. It's a safety regulation, basically).

Also, what does Berk do? Is he going to be making lots of appearances? What's their relationship?

fixed Astra's CS

Hope there's room for one more.

Name: Jakhi "Wintergreen" Tennoras

Species: Hybrid [Human/Xerian]

Age: 22

Appearance: Typical garb.

Gender: Male

Occupation: Hunter, Frontiersman, and the occasional Bounty Hunter.

Typical Tools/Weapons/Equipment:
-Survival Axe, works as an axe and a crowbar.
-General Purpose Survival Knife, with all the features of a typical survival knife.
-"Monday", a custom built heavy .44 Magnum revolver, handed down to Wintergreen by his father.
-Modified Derringer, a small caliber, single shot compact gun built to be hidden underneath the sleeves of clothing. This Derringer is always meant to be concealed, even when firing. The user does have to be careful not to shoot their own hand however.
-Rucksack and belts, containing a basic medical kit, a reusable water container with its own filter, a firesteel spark lighter, non-perishable foods, a small pot, ammunition, and some extra room for whatever is needed to be stored.
-Custom Hunter's Armor, medium weight bulletproof armor plating mostly covering the vital organs in the torso. Weather resistant pants, hood, shirt and scarf. Leather gloves and boots, Pretty hard to clean, but real durable.

Skills/Powers:
-Amateur Cooking, not a 5 star restaurant chef, but he can make some pretty simple tasty stuff with the ingredients nature gives him.
-Amateur Woodworking/Lumberjack, he's got the muscle to chop down trees, and the skill to make a small wooden cabin for himself. He's also able to make tables, chairs, simple stuff like that. However, he's unable to make more intricate wood based things.
-Adept Xerian and Human martial arts, by no means a master, but he can get the job done, or hold his own until someone comes and helps.
-Adept Marksmanship, by no means a sniper. However, he's really accurate with his pistols. With a rifle, he's also pretty good, but a Sniper will always outshoot him.
-Master Gunslinger, he's got a very quick fast draw. He's called one of the fastest guns in the frontier.
-Master Survivalist, practically being raised around the wild, he's got innate knowledge of how to survive indefinitely on the land.

Bio:
Born from his father, a Human Patrol Officer and later a Hunter, and his mother, a Xerian Huntress, Jackhi was a mistake. Mostly because neither of his parents knew that they could have a child together. And neither did the Doctors. On both sides.

However, despite that, his father and mother still loved him unconditionally. However, as a child, he was less loved by his peers at school. Due to his peculiar skin and eyes, he was often bullied by the school bullies. To remedy this, his parents taught him both their respective hand-to-hand fighting styles. They may or may not have been trying to one-up each other to see which one Jackhi liked more. To their mild despair, he liked both, and tried to mix both styles, although they did not meld together well at first he eventually did learn how to mix the two into one years later. Equipped with the fundamentals of martial arts, he soon became a rather troublesome child to the school. He was often sent to the Principals office for fighting, never throwing the first punch, and usually winning. He soon gained the reputation of being a rebel, which didn't bother him much.

In his teenage years, his mother began to teach him how to fight with a blade, and his father began to teach him how to shoot, as well as finishing up his martial arts training. In school, he went from the victim of bullying to the cool mysterious outsider nobody messes with unless they want a broken jaw. By this time, he had gained a couple of friends, and a couple of girls interested in him. Frankly he was and still is as dense as a neutron star. He never got a girlfriend. But he did learn how to shoot a revolver, so I guess that sort of balances out. The important part of his teenage years is that his parents began to take him on hunts. This is where he picked up his survival skills.

After he graduated school, he became an independent Hunter. Hunting wildlife and bringing back meats, fruits, nuts, and various other edibles to the colony. He learned that he could make some money by getting furs, so he did. After earning some money, he had bought some gear, a new mask which doubled as a helmet, and began to venture further and further away from the colony. He hunted rarer wildlife, bringing back rarer meats, and much rarer furs, hides, and other items he could sell. During his hunts, he sometimes came across bandits and outlaws. Most of whom wanted to rob or kill Jackhi, most of them died, and this is when he learned that he could earn some money for Bounty Hunting. He decided against perusing it though, but if a bounty is right in front of him threatening to kill or rob him, Jackhi would turn into a bounty hunter, albeit temporarily.

When his father saw the progress his son was making, he handed Jackhi his pistol. Monday. A custom built, high caliber, heavy hitting durable six shooter, which he uses to this day. His mother actually didn't give him anything, since she expected him to make it this far. Sometime before, he was captured by a couple of criminals who wanted to ransom him for cash. After escaping and collecting a couple thousand in bounty, he had his modified Derringer created by a good friend.
Despite his reputation as one of the fastest guns in the frontier and thanks to his helmet, everyone in the hunting community assumes Jackhi is human. Due to the rarity of Hybrids surviving past childhood, and that whenever asked, Jackhi just says he prefers the mask rather than pills.

Super Sleek and futuristic looking

idea 2

Scrapped together, overcrowded, shanty/slum looking

alien meets human architecture, with a kind of marketplace/gypsy style

idea 4

quick built, makeshift, human town

Also Apollosarcher you appearance pic is not working.
But is this the pic you had in mind?

Edmund T

Name: Edmund T'zaikiel
Species: Hybrid
Age: 44
Appearance: (Without his mask)
Gender: Male
Occupation: Cavalry
Tools/Weapons: Binoculars, handgun, sniper rifle (?)
Skills/Powers: Proficient in gunplay, can handle the local wildlife with ease.
Bio: One of the first hybrids to come out of the colony, Edmund was raised by both a human and a Xerian, who taught him to both fire a gun like a human and how to tame and ride the planet's wildlife. He and his family were originally deemed freaks and banned from the colony, but, thanks to recent advancements in pro-Xerian law, he's been let back in as a cavalryman.

[Protagonist]

The appearance of the colony?

It looks like a NASA-themed trailer park/shantytown, (which is technically what it is). It was constructed by dropping a daisy cutter into a forest (they checked for sentient organisms first, don't worry), and then having people enter pods to land onto the crater. The landing modules were then disassembled and turned into "Housing Cubicles". Living conditions are on par with long-term RV camping. Food and water are currently rationed, but are usually present. In good times, you'll see flea markets show up selling home made goods, with people playing instruments in the street.

If all goes well, Zion will strike it rich and become a bit more suburban (and then regular-urban) in its appearance.

[Skyrte]

So uh...
Are we accepted?

[Chenzor]

So many characters! Goodie, waiting for the IC to kick in (:

Why not TWO submachinegun-caliber guns on a torret then? Or a small sphere companion armed with an smg-like gun, like a personal companion? (Thinking mass effect drones)

[Protagonist]

Skyrte is approved.

As for Dack Len, a thing to keep in mind about the setting is that humans aren't quite a space faring civilization as of now. The people on Earth were able to build rocket ships with cryo pods in them to send off to an alien world, but FTL travel hasn't been invented yet, and even rather rich people in this world can't afford to build a spacecraft.

[Protagonist]

As for Astra, I'd still like more information on her owner if she's going to have one.

[LokiLeo789]

Am I still able to join this?

The first would still suffer from being too clunky to carry around on foot while losing out a great deal of firepower, while the sphere companion would have supply issues.

The personal companion did give me a few ideas though. I'll edit them in, and you can check them out Protagonist?
