NOVA DAWN

Death battle averted!

@Cute Bumber

B-but I made popcorn. D:

The Elder Scrolls: Heart of Darkness

I think I've arrived at a logical background for my sorceress (mistakes were made, undead and Daedra were summoned...a couple of times), but coffee supplies are low, so tomorrow will tell.

NOVA DAWN

Also alive, tinkering with the Spymaster's CS, going well, but coffee supplies are low (hoping to have it done tomorrow or Wednesday).

Shout out to @Hylozoist for being a lovely bouncing wall (basically throw stuff at them to profit, creatively speaking).

NOVA DAWN

Highly divergent races (e.g. a race of mushroom people being called "elves") are attributed to miscommunications between natives and extraterrestrials or colonists.

@Dead Cruiser

I really like this idea. :D

The Elder Scrolls: Heart of Darkness

One Breton sorceress with a history of summoning undead and Daedra coming right up. :3

NOVA DAWN

Hooray!

Below is a CS for a Spymaster Extraordinaire, that I'll update throughout the day (most likely):

Tel Lyed, Spymaster

"It's the oldest question of all, Tel. Who can spy on the spies?"

Name: Unknown, goes by Tel

Aliases: Shrouded in mystery, even to veteran members of the crew, Tel maintains a seemingly endless number of aliases and false identities. However, abroad the Nova Dawn she has always been known as Tel Lyed.

Race: The Oml Zevax are a race of mysterious shapeshifters feared across the vastness of the void for their prodigious talents as spies and assassins. Beyond their ability to adopt the appearance of other beings, the Zevaxu are known to be gifted psionics, who ensnare their prey within complex webs of illusion.

A minor interstellar empire, the Oml Zevax, nonetheless maintain their independence as a result of their mastery of genetic manipulation and biotechnology, particularly their creation of state-the-art Bioware implants, cloned and enhanced organs. However, the Zevaux are also skilled at the modification of natural bodily functions for cosmetic and beneficial effect.

Age: Unknown, but clearly adult

Gender: Unknown, presumed to be Female

Appearance:
Willowy build
cat-like, amber eyes
short, black hair that reaches just past her shoulders
moves with an unnatural grace

Outside of her quarters, Tel wears a highly ornamented and ornate mask, and dresses in such a way that almost all of her features are obscured. She favors long flowing robes, muted in color, and bereft of any fanciful designs. Tel never removes her mask in the presence of others, unless having already shifted into a different form, and so no one, even among the crew of the Nova Dawn, has looked upon her true face.

Assumed Appearance(s): When disembarking from the ship, Tel assumes a form and manner of dress appropriate to the local environment.

Homeworld: Zevax is the largest planet of the star Osul and the homeworld of the secretive Oml Zevax. An extremely xenophobic and isolationist society, the Zevaxu fanatically guard their small solar system (Talnur), and entire Jihads have been waged over minor incursions into their territory. As a result, despite their occasional contact with other races in pursuit of trade, precious little information is known about the Zevaxu, their homeworld, or Talnur as the entire system is off-limits to outsiders, having long since been declared a holy site by the Zevaxu.

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Role: Spymaster

Skills:

History:

Personality:

Other:

Edit: Adding more stuff.

Heart of Darkness [Elder Scrolls]

Awwww, I wanted to do that xD

I could do my spellsword and our characters would have a sort of semi-friendly, semi-antagonistic relationship as the righteous spellsword (or oooh! maybe a crusader or Vigilant of Stendarr!) tries to keep the heretical mad sorceror on his/her leash.

@Turboshitter

Aha, great minds think alike. :D

I'd be up for the "semi-friendly, semi-antagonistic relationship as the righteous spellsword (or oooh! maybe a crusader or Vigilant of Stendarr!) tries to keep the heretical mad sorceror on his/her leash" that sounds like a lot of fun and a lot of interesting RP potential.

@Hologram Prose I understand the concept, but would a Penitus Oculatus officer willingly put his faith in a convicted criminal sorcerer deep behind enemy lines? You'll have to convince me with a good character sheet and an explanation that seems believable.

@Hank

A valid point and it sounds more than fair that I'd have to provide a good CS and plausible explanation. :)

NOVA DAWN (working title) Science Fantasy, Cosmic Adventure, Space Pirates

While food may not be required for all characters, a test of your loyalty to the ship, Captain, and a sign that you are not also secretly a spy will obviously be eating at least three full servings of Caterpillar cooked food.

All as part of the "death to other spies" initiative of the spymaster.

NOVA DAWN (working title) Science Fantasy, Cosmic Adventure, Space Pirates

So...anybody wanna tell me about the character theyre thinking about? I'm curious :)

@Irisity

An alien spy (not human, but also not a giant space caterpillar, that would be ridiculous*, so humanish, might be basing this race on the Changelings from Eberron), retained by the captain to keep an eye on the crew and to provide intelligence work off the ship when needed.

My Hider

Jokes aside, I really like Mr. Caterpillar. <3

Heart of Darkness [Elder Scrolls]

Oh, character concept time!

Necromancer or Conjurer (Daedra), imprisoned for dabbling in some bad things, offered a pardon if the mission is completed successfully (no great loss to the empire if something goes wrong), every party has got to have a former-criminal with a new leash on life. :3

I might have some more up my sleeve, but that's one that came to mind pretty quickly.
