Dark Space: A Fire in the Skies (Reboot)

Deep within the void of space, drifting by its lonesome, is a space station. It isn't the biggest space station to grace the Ring Galaxy, but it's impressive nonetheless. Within, thousands of beings are walking and talking. This space station is home to commerce, as one could find almost anything here; food, weapons, ships, workers. If you wanted it and you had the Credits, chances are it was somewhere within this station.

Next to a holographic board displaying various mercenary jobs, a woman in a clean-pressed, dark blue uniform, is typing in some information in a small kiosk at the board. As she finishes typing, she produces a small card from her pocket and puts it under a blue scanner. Soon, another small hologram displays a job.

---
CREW FOR SHIP NEEDED. EXPERIENCED CAPTAIN. FAIR PAY. SPEAK TO GABRIELA JULES FOR DETAILS.

---

The woman looks at how small her job seems compared to the others around it; some wanting bounty hunters or body guards, or the Human Reclamation Corps needing mercenaries to fight Leviathans on various, far-off worlds. She wondered if even the most attentive person would even give her job a sideways glance.

She sighed, walking off. If anyone cared to look, the board would give them her location upon accepting her job.

Dark Space: A Fire in the Skies (Reboot)

Alright, it's now or never.

I'm gonna go do an introductory post and get this universe rolling!

Dark Space: A Fire in the Skies (Reboot)

Are either of you two interested in getting this rolling? If so, I'll get a starting post together.

Dark Space: A Fire in the Skies (Reboot)

Forgive me for kinda disappearing for a couple days, work has... sort of been getting in the way.

I'll get the roleplay going with a starting post later today, and hopefully we can garner a bit more attention.

Dark Space: A Fire in the Skies (Reboot)

Looks good, just err on the side of caution if you feel like something is OP

Dark Space: A Fire in the Skies (Reboot)

Just a quick update, we're probably going to start when we have 4-5 players.

If that doesn't happen soon, we'll start early and we'll probably attract more players if we get the story rolling.

Dark Space: A Fire in the Skies (Reboot)

I think my character will work best if he's employed by one of yours :)

My character

Name: Prog D’Runo.
Gender: Male.
Age: 26.
Appearance: Prog is an insectiod, roughly the same size as a full grown human male. Like every other Ennochi Progs body is protected by a hard exoskeleton and feature a pair of embarrassingly (for a species that was once capable of flight) small wings on the back, beneath two protective moveable plates. His exoskeleton is dark brown and is crisscrossed by a myriad of tiny veins that, if he lets his mind slip, changes colour to show off his true emotions. Progs body reflects his active lifestyle and any observer can see that he is not as sleek and streamlined as most of his species, instead his limbs have more in common with the arms and legs of humans, which becomes increasingly bumpy as they increase their physical strength. There is indeed little to say about the appearance of Prog, as most non-Ennochi would only be able to tell him apart from another Ennochi by the colour of his exoskeleton.

He doesn’t wear much clothes, since he doesn’t need the protection like soft species. He does wear a light brown poncho-like garment with holes for his primary arms and a belt (underneath) that allows him to carry stuff around as he lacks pants with pockets.
Race/Species: Ennochi.
Social Class: Lower upper class.

Personality: Prog is the calm cliff in the roaring ocean storm. It takes a lot for him to delve into emotional thought processes and no one would ever call him impulsive. He isn’t stuck-up though, only a naturally calm, collected and well-balanced individual.
Skills: Prog is a master martial artist and more than proficient with standard firearms. He has also picked up a lot of “handy” skills that can be useful on a spaceship and takes great pride in being able to do SOMETHING in any room of the ship (or sometimes outside it). He can change a spark plug, rewire electronics, boil pasta, clean a toilet, read a star chart, do a barrel roll and use a laser-cutter. But if you want it done well, you probably want someone else to do it.
Likes/Dislikes: Above all Prog dislikes waste and meaninglessness. If it doesn’t have a point, get rid of it. Rather strangely Prog likes to surround himself with experts, people who possess uncanny knowledge, skill or other attributes. They give him something to strive towards and instantly earn his respect.
Goals: Prog wants to be present and discover something fantastic.
Strengths/Weaknesses: Progs greatest strengths are his physical prowess and a mind that is always willing to evolve. However, his constant jumping from subject to subject leaves him with a false sense of proficiency. His calm demeanor can also make him slow to act if the situation shifts unexpectedly.
Occupation: Mercenary/Scrapper/adventurer.

Basic Backstory: Prog was born and brought up on a Ennochi colony circling one of the many planets that makes up the ring galaxy. Growing up among other Ennochi was easy and Prog didn’t actually lay eyes on an alien until he was well into his teens. As a member of the upper class he and his family had many doors open and could basically pick and choose any career. When he was a child Prog was fascinated by the Leviathans and the incredible threat they posed, as well as their actual beings. Sentient, self-replicating machines. It sounded like a modern fairy tale, but he also understood that they were as real as him.

When the time came to pick an occupation Prog couldn’t decide, he went into the military to buy himself some time. There he was taught how to use firearms, tactics and martial arts, which would become his go-to skill.
The Ennochi military is not an offensive one and during his training Prog was never actually deployed in the field, but did go through several hours of simulations and other training regimes designed to emulate realistic situations.

After finishing his training Prog still had no idea what he wanted to do with the rest of his life. He decided to travel to find a purpose, grabbed some money from the safe and got on the first ship that left the colony. Some ten or twenty planet jumps later he was running low on funds and realised that he either had to make his way back home or get a job to pay for himself. His lack of productive skills made him unwanted in most circles and the job he could take wasn’t something he was willing to do. By chance he stumbled into a “situation” by the spaceport and deployed his skills to aid the local law enforcement. At the same time he caught the eye of a small trading company. They were sending a shipment through “hostile territory”, ie close to the planets that were regularly under Leviathan attack and wanted some extra security.
Prog took several contracts like that and eventually found himself in scrapper territory. Again acting as security. To this day Prog has faced and destroyed three Leviathans.

I like it! Adding!

Dark Space: A Fire in the Skies (Reboot)

Awesome story! Adding!

Dark Space: A Fire in the Skies (Reboot)

WIP

Name: Vurros
Gender: male
Age: 78
Appearance: Vurros resemblance is similar to that of other Faasaajiir. He stands at 5'4 and is rather slim. Though he has a bit more bulk do to augmentation. He has large black eyes that resemble a void when being starred into. He also wears an advanced suit of armor used to help him survive in foreign environments and to make up for his lack of combat experience. (I'll get a picture of the suit when I can.)
Race/Species: Faasaajiir
Social Class: was upper class but he doesn't really work with his own people anymore.

Personality: Vurros is kinda insane do to a incident that happened years ago. He is still a collective individual who likes to think his way out of a situation but his thoughts and ideas can be rather irrational due to his mental condition.
Skills: Vurros is a expert on nano robotics, bio engineer, and advanced combat weaponry due to his races culture and level of comprehension. He is also a very good ship mechanic but would not claim to be an expert like others of his race.
Likes/Dislikes: he does not really have any particular likes or dislikes. Though he doesn't like piloting. He is t very good at it.
Goals: Vurros just wants to fix his mental condition. He doesn't really have a desire for riches or fame.
Strengths/Weaknesses: Vurros is extremely intelligent and has a very high level of comprehension and learning. This allows him to learn new things rather quickly. His capable of building advanced technology and very notable for it. However, Vurros has a mental condition that can make his actions somewhat irrational. This is responsible for getting him into bad situations just as much as it is for getting him out of them. His lack of combat experience also makes fights undesirable. Being that his advanced armor and weaponry being the only real advantage he has in a fight.

Occupation: he was a lead scientist in several scientific departments of Faasaajiir society. Now he is a scrapper and a merchant.

Basic Backstory: (Make it at least a couple paragraphs. Here’s my filled-out character sheet as an example)

@BKburke

Looks good so far! Just fill out the backstory and you should be alright :)

Dark Space: A Fire in the Skies (Reboot)

Theoretically they can give you a little extra flight, but nothing substantial.

Their secondary arms can be used for limited holding, but not nearly as much as their primary arms.

That is unknown. Few Ennochi have tried, and those that do tend to be killed before they can give their findings.
