'No Escape-esque'

@Infamous Empathhehehe... I'm in the same boat... about forty characters spanning tabletop and four sites online... believe me, where there's a will there's a way.

'No Escape-esque'

Is this setting male only or female only given that it's something of a prison, or are we gonna toss everyone in together?

In any event, consider me interested.

@Force and Fury

Good question. As a PC / GM, I'd personally be unhappy if it was all male. However, the statistics show that the majority of violent offenders and the kind of devious creatures that would find themselves the inhabitants of Absolom, would be male. But note--I said majority. You want to play a woman, please do!

Vreyol

Name:Vreyol of Ilxa (aka Vreyol -- Ilxa is her colony.)
Race: Malatrin
Age: 24 Malatrin years (40 Earth years) Vreyol appears 20 years old, a young Malatrin in the prime of her life.
Gender: female
Homeworld: Malatrin-Alpha, Southern Hemisphere.
Appearance: As in the above picture. Vreyol is 5'3", 105 lbs. A pint-sized powerhouse, she carries a great deal of strength in her tiny frame. As the gravity on Malatrin Alpha is higher than on Earth, she tends to find moving / lifting items and most physical aspects of her life in the stars comparatively easy. As with most Malatrin of the souther Hemisphere of her homeward, she has characteristic darker pigmentation / markings around her temples, along her collarbones, down her spine and over her hips.
Personality: Vreyol is an intelligent, capable woman. That said, she is slow to speak unless the situation truly calls for it. She would rather allow actions to speak for her. Like many of her kind, Vreyol can come off as slightly cold to those unaccustomed to Malatrin society and traits. She is slow to trust and selective about the company she keeps, but once her loyalty is won, she is deeply committed to her friends and family.
Skills: Vreyol is a pretty great mechanic. A decent slicer (computer hacker.) Decent with a gun or a knife, and a capable hand to hand combatant.
Motivation: See as much of the 'verse as she can with the time she's got.
Gear: Some basic tools of her trade (interstellar transport mechanic,) a pair of Malatrin fighting knives, and an old, well-worn but serviceable slug-thrower. As far as clothing goes, as with most Malatrin, Vreyol prefers minimal, form-fitting garb. Her usual outfit consists of a tank-top-style unitard made of a tough, durable fabric not unlike neoprene. The unitard is sleeveless, and reaches to her thighs. While on duty, she wears a utility belt containing most of the tools she'll need, and a pair of loose (usually unlaced) combat boots.

If we get a few more interested folks, I'll make the OOC. Might be nice to have 6 total, plus me. Six would be enough to start, can continue to recruit after that.

Glad to see some interest out there!

Malatrin-Alpha

Planet: Malatrin-Alpha
System: Mala Prime (Binary Star system)
Circumference: 30,000 km (3/4 the size of Earth)
Surface gravity: 1.2X Earth (a 180 lb human on Earth weighs the equivalent of 215 lbs on Malatrin Alpha)
Rotation Period: 40.5 hours (one day = 1.7 Earth days)
Orbiting Bodies: None.
Overview: Malatrin Alpha is the second planet in the Binary system Mala Prime (Dercos is the planet closest to the suns, and is uninhabitable.) There is a third planet in-system, but is mostly rubble, having been the victim of a terrible meteor shower thousands of years ago. The Malatrin refer to this wasted planetoid as the Beor'ed. Malatrin-Alpha is over 85% covered with water, its few land masses never reaching terrestrial altitudes of over 1000'. The surface land of Malatrin-Alpha is almost exclusively jungle. The Malatrin have adapted to live as comfortably on land as in the sea, where they originated. The often high winds of Malatrin Alpha can create unpredictable, dangerous tsunamis and weather patterns on the surface. The nature of the Malatrin's dual existence above and below the surface, means the comparatively little available surface territory remains sparsely populated. (In total, the overall surface area is about the size of Earth's continent Africa, broken into several small islands, none of which are bigger than Great Britain.)

Edits to Malatrin made. Shall I do up an entry for Malatrin-Alpha as a planet? I'll also have a draft of my character up in an hour or so. :)

My grasp of xeno sociobiology is minimal, but the Malatrin castes lived apart, coming together for mating and the early stages of child-rearing. Little else. As for the level of power displayed by the invaders / enslavers, the species the Malatrin refer to as the Gor'shun (a pretty terrible word in their language, the equivalent of which does not exist in English, or any other human language) I would describe that species, too, except they have not been seen in millennia, and the Malatrin are notoriously close-lipped about it.
