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.
Those and vowels in general. In wheel of fortune they would be buying vowels all the time.
Even I forgot the name of the island they originate from. Let me check...
They would add "ian" like humans do to denote things like "freudian", if that's where you're going with it. Kailimawe sounds cool. Their names have a slight Hawaiian mixed with African sound to them too. That island has a lot of other dangerous creatures on it too so if faera schoolgirls went there it would be quite deadly. Maybe there's a safer, sister island to that one.
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 The myth was originally made up by natives to keep the rowdy young tourists away, but over time has attracted many a young Faera looking to prove their courage.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.
Really good. One great thing about roleplays is it helps people hit ideas back and forth and come up with awesome stuff we wouldn't alone. I can see this being an episode of an anime, and then Yoo-17 shows up dressed as the mythical beast and scares them. Then a real one shows up.

I hope you don't mind, but I added the Falimawe to the legends subsection of the Faera wiki page. I cleaned up my English before posting it there, of course; a few too many "said"s for my liking.

Go ahead.
On an unrelated note, I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the naming scheme for UNT vehicles. One would think they'd have numbers and letters and such like earthling ones, but I'll have to make stuff up. I think I'll put off posting about the bokite until I get all that figured out.
Just thought of something. Xern humans came from Exendrian humans, like most humans as they spread throughout the Galaxy. They both have x in the name, so perhaps they like to include x in a lot of planet names and maybe names from royal families. X at the last of the name is more low class and no x is for people furthest away from exendrian culture as the formed their own governments. Not all exendrians still keep this tradition as a lot of human groups intermingle, but with royalty more pure in blood and tradition, it's more kept. Ahsuda humans diverged greatly from them so dropped the x. Maybe the group that became ahsuda were Axuda.
Most exendrians are dark skinned but I think I said on the wiki only 60% or something. It's the golden eye trait that's much more universal among them. Xern humans lost this in addition to many other groups.
I'll draw certain races first if you guys really want to see how a race looks in a picture. Humanoid ones are easier since I already drew a human that I can alter. However, some aliens might be more fun to draw if they aren't as humanoid. Guess I should draw a male human too, if I can get around to it.
Personality: Zhaelara is brutal, vicious, and sadistic, but all this bubbles away behind a cool and calculating mask. She is no manic barbarian, running into battle whilst screaming her head off, but is instead a calm and tactical sociopath, executing her plans with unparalleled cunning.
If it weren’t for her warrior-like attire, it would be entirely possible to have a completely normal conversation with Zhaelara, without catching even the faintest hint that she was anything more than a bit odd.
Appearance:
(Just a bit more purple)
Abilities: Zhaelara is as quick and nimble as they come, and uses this to her advantage. She can weave out of the way of enemy attacks, and overpower them by using their own strength against them. Her fighting techniques resemble a vicious bastardisation of Earthling martial arts.
Equipment:
Sword arm- Blessed by Draegiya shamanistic magics, Zhaelara wears a blade-like metal gauntlet, pulled up over her forearm.
Narugoz Flesh-mask.
Biography: The Draegiya are a uniquely hostile race, originating from the desolate wastes of Kalashtok. Living on a planet stripped of most natural resources, the vicious Draegiyian crime syndicates wage a bloody war across the planet’s entirety, sacrificing countless lives for the last few scraps of oil.
The Draegiya have technology equivalent to that of early 21st Century Humans, and are not a space faring species. However, the odd Draegiya will occasionally be taken captive by a wandering slaver or trophy hunter.
Zhaelara was part of a clan renowned for their savagery and sadism, even amongst the infamously brutal Draegiya; The Narugoz. Unlike other Draegiya tribes, the Narugoz spent centuries lurking in the wildernesses outside of what passed as civilisation on Kalashtok, leading merciless raids upon other tribe’s settlements, before seizing control of their technology and resources, and taking their city-dwelling cousins as slaves.
The Narugoz partake in an ancient ritual, where they strip the skin and bones of their enemies, and use them to craft terrifying flesh masks.
Zhaelara inherited leadership of the Narugoz after she ate the heart of the former warlord, and under her reign her tribe enjoyed three years of looting and pillaging. Roaming pirates abducted the Narugoz, but weren’t aware of quite how savage these particular Draegiya were, and soon lost control of their ship to the allegedly primitive aliens.
Zhaelara led her people across the cosmos, spreading a wave of blood and horror, until she was apprehended by UNT.
Deemed too dangerous to be stored in a single location, each member of the Narugoz was placed in a separate cell, with Zhaelara being forced into custody aboard the Exeralune.
Name: Hes called Vordak. His real name is unpronounceable to others.
Age: Mid 100's
Gender: Male
Race: Cyturn
Homeworld: Cyturn Prime
Position: Security personnel
Personality: Vordak is a cynical Cyturn who doesn't have a happy outlook on life in the galaxy. He can be funny when he wants to and serious when he has too but other then that he is mainly just a person trapped in a suit. Vordak is naturally jealous and he will always hold a grudge against those that can live without a suit.
Equipment: Blue Elzion Sword Cyturn three burst rifle Magnetic boots Some food vials
Biography: Vordak doesn't talk about his childhood because there wasn't one. He emerged from a pod when he was an adult and then entered a suit so it would protect his fragile immune system and skin. Luckily, as custom, all he needed to do was download knowledge and he would be well on his way to knowing what he was and how he got there. Logic was undeniable to him, just like most of his race but he was fascinated with what else was out there, minus his cynical view on all things.
He became apart of the military as per GAN requirement and succeeded in surviving the missions he was sent on. It was definitely no easy task, as he was not the best combatant but was also no total failure either. He was just a normal soldier in the special operations branch of the GAN military. Unbeknownst to him, he was actually above par to any normal soldier out there in other militaries but they seldom fought those types of people.
Eventually after a botched mission left him behind enemy lines and left for dead, he managed to survive and make his way into civilized space again but this time in UNT controlled space. Deciding that this was the time to live his life long dream of exploring he decided to find work that would suit the task and the Exeralune.
I'm at work so not looking in depth, but from what I remember while reading over the sheets they all look good. Hesitent on the character lifting 50 tons, though, as he could probably throw around a stack of 3 or 4 spacefighters with ease, or cars weigh even less so around 15 cars, which seems like huge overkill. He's probably stronger at breaking down doors than explosive charges would be. If I allow him to keep that strength than to use it, all of his muscles might burst.
He doesnt have muscle per se. Think of the entire Race as ants. I will tone down his weight issues. Besides its only lifting strength not actual strength. He couldnt hit someone with that force. Just if he was pushed he could hold something up to stop it falling on someone. At least that's where i was going with it.
I thought that one could strike with more power than they could lift because all the power is going into a brief impact with small surface area, but a physicist could prove me wrong.
I indeed thought you might have been scaling his strength to like a bug, which is what they did with Spiderman and spiders. His strength probably changes but I think he was 150 tons lifting.
I'd be fine if he can lift like a forklift weight in andreemea. Our modern forklifts are lifting about 2 tons. Andreemea ones could technically reach extreme levels, but an average one would likely be around 10 tons. They'd antigravity thing to lift more, I'm sure. Can't check right now, but was he the type who could withstand explosions? It's all the things together that make me more picky on the individual stuff such as strength or else he's compatible to superheroes and seems almost unstoppable.
Some individuals in andreemea could be like low level superheroes, admittedly. If people want us to be like an elite team then there wouldn't be an issue with his capabilities. Anyone care too much? I assume most people would want to be above average, so I'm prepared for that much.
@ImportantNobody I can change it for you if you want. I wanted him to be a pack mule as well as a soldier. So he can easily haul any goodies we find or carry people/machinery that has fallen. Think of him as a car jack.

I personally imagine our characters able to fight around 10 normal thugs each if they got into a street fight. Any more and it might get boring just demolishing 100s of enemies. If we are all in agreement that this sounds like a good starting level, I'd indeed adjust his strength more to what you desire he can do and not over. So to drag around equipment, most of said equipment would be around to 5-10 ton range max, but I can see if your guy struggles he can just barely do better. You can also get him stronger if he has more obvious weaknesses to balance it out. For example, he can be outmaneuvered by normal humans and his weak points are able to be penetrated by people with normal weapons if they do really good.
