People don't tend to think about rules when in disputes. Instead, just point out that whoever stops arguing first gets to see the other make a fool of themselves if they going after it all stopped.

The best part about being on the Guild this long is that nowadays, I can sit back and chuckle as the newcomers try to start a fight an instead get all the old hands ganging up on them. Popcorn for me.

Got my first covid vaccination today. I was terrified, but the staff there were very well trained and things went well.

Every few minutes playing Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, I tear up from the memories. It's not often you get a game that truly pulls at the same heartstrings as your childhood playthrough's once did.
Name: Jennifer Emerald Age: 26 Gender: Female Species: Zenohunts (A now-civil race)
Biologically basically human, however they can have animal features, such as claws, a tail, ears of an animal, etc. A Zenohunt's average lifespan varies, depending on where they live, however they live to roughly 150 years of age. Their government is presidential, however the oldest child of the president is the next president when the current one dies. If the child has not reached the age of fifteen, an elected admiral of the United Zenohunt Space Navy will take over until the child has Waletairo.
Zenohunts have different reactions to different things, and often take everything with a pinch of salt. However, this depends on wherever the Zenohunt has came from, and that includes other planets, such as Earth. Earth Zenohunts can be very peaceful, those from the lands of Lemea can be quite aggressive but friendly, and those from protected cities like Yasanctuar can be a balance, though most Zenohunts lean majorly to peace; they don't want to see another massive war.
Zenohunts progressed through to an advanced age very quickly when a ship of unknown origin crashed on Lemea, their home planet. Being a race just into the iron age at that time, the Zenohunts claimed that the ship was from the gods, more specifically, from their goddess, Zariana. as technology was scavenged from this ship, a huge civil war was started as empires from all over Lemea heard of this event: The mighty goddess bringing down gifts from the skies. Much blood was shed in the first world-wide war of the Zenohunts. The Zenohunt population was cut down considerably. Finally, a mass agreement was made, and the Zenohunts were settled into peace once again.
However, this all ended one hundred years later. Through one hundred years, many things had happened. New cultures arised, space travel was a reality, but FTL travel was far from a reality. Economy rose, wars between countries had happened, however everything generally was in peace. However, on the Waletairo of a Zenohunt president's daughter, the president was assassinated. The new president, after her Waletairo, made every effort to find the murderer of her father. All of the clues, including weapon backtracking and intelligence pushing, led to the discovery that it was a different country that had done the deed. So, she, as well as her allies, waged war on the opposing country, to which her allies followed, starting a war that raged all through the Zenohunt space system. Not one secret weapon was left unused. Not one soul untouched. Everyone was affected in some way by the war.
Once the war had finally been resolved, the Zenohunt population had been cut down by the billions. Because of this, drone and robotic technology thrived, as there was less people for manual labour. Even a lot of their fleets and ships became drone operated. Together they formed the UZF (United Zenohunt Federation), which united all Zenohunts in peace. Years later, they were discovered by the InterGalactic Space Alliance, and began to fight against their offerings to take them into the IGSA, translators mistaking the words for 'take your race into our peace' and instead reading them as 'make your race into pieces'. It was not long before people started wondering why entire fleets were not coming to destroy them, and soon it was realized they wanted to make peace, not take pieces out of them. Soon enough, diplomats made contact, and the Zenohunts were taken into the IGSA.
All Zenohunts believe in a goddess who is named Zariana. She causes everything that happens, both good and bad. When a Zenohunt reaches the age of fifteen, a celebration is called for, as Zenohunts are mature by the age of fifteen. This celebration is known as 'Waletairo', which in English would translate to 'Tailgrow', as in their tail being fully grown. Being fifteen is basically being twenty one as a Human. You can have any job you want, you can drink, have kids, etc. Zenohunts like to build things that look good. A lot of their structures, ships, or even their weapons look very good indeed.
Zenohunt weaponry in mainly along the kinetic line, with many different types of weaponry, both small and large. Their ships range from corvettes all the way up to carriers, however they only have one supercarrier in existence, loaded with the most advanced technology that the Zenohunts have. Zenohunts like to hide defensive structures, like putting a railgun inside of an asteroid. Zenohunts are very advanced when it comes to drone and robotic technology, as they need to be to compensate for the lack of men to do the lesser work. Most of their fighter aircraft are drones, however their bombers and dropships have pilots as those can do things that drones can't, or simply can't be programmed for. Of course, even they sometimes might be drone-piloted. Fighter/bomber craft are mass-produced, both on planetary defense stations and in on-board factories on Zenohunt carriers and larger fighter-carrying warships. Being stationed on a Zenohunt carrier takes a lot of work, and skill, as it is known as a great honor to be on such an advanced ship.
The Zenohunts have only a few 'fleets', consisting of around 20 ships each, however they also have a large number of 'battlegroups' consisting of around 2-5 ships. Zenohunt carriers with the ability to Jigsaw (Split into several different drone/remote piloted ships) can be referred to as battlegroups, since they have the ability to split into various sizes of ship.
Most civilian spacecraft are drone-piloted, and range from small luxury yachts all the way up to massive cargo ships. Civilian space stations dot around every single planet under their control, almost every one with an orbital elevator leading down to the planet's surface.
Rank: Lieutenant Commander Role: Third in command
ESP rating: Medium
Personality: Being raised in the roughs, Jennifer was known to be just a little mean when she wanted to, even if that meant bluffing a little to get out of things. These traits half-carried into the navy, and as she went through the ranks it was considered that she go to the navy academy to become an instructor though Jennifer has a personal preference to be out in the field and so declined.
However, Jennifer has a good side to her, and isn't just the tough woman that she talks. She usually has a smile on her face and likes to crack a little joke or two, and she has hobbies like reading.
Appearance: Jennifer prefers to keep herself clean and professional looking at all times. This includes keeping her blonde hair tidy and her uniform fine. She stands at 5"5, not very tall, and has a slim but powerful looking build. Her skin is quite white, and she has blue eyes. She often likes to stand straight, but sometimes a little cockily leant to the side.
History: Jennifer was born in Ehop, one of the few major cities on Lemea, however a few years after she was born she was moved to Yasanctuar, yet another city, as the environment there was a lot better for their family, as it had a lot more military areas and was therefore more protected. A side effect of this was Jennifer seeing a variety of military types around there, and therefore wanted to be one of them.
She ended up studying a lot in engineering as this was a major want for the Zenohunt navy, and she grew up studying rather than doing other things like playing games (even though she sometimes did this).
During Waletairo she made an application to the navy office nearest her home, and soon left to go to training. Her parents only knew a week later, though only by chance, as there was a news recording of new recruits being trained, and they saw their daughter there. Of course, as Jennifer was an adult now, they couldn't pull her away, so were forced to live with it.
Soon, Jennifer was climbing the ranks of the Zenohunt navy as an engineering officer, however when she was a lieutenant she was transferred to Human ships due to crew requirements. She spent a few years on Human ships, and then was told she was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-commander, and asked if she would rather return to Zenohunt fleets, stay on Human based ships or take a new assignment. She took the new assignment, and was surprised to find herself no longer as an engineering chief but as third-in-command on the IGSA Jubilee.
