This galaxy isn't yours! - The reboot

@LegionPothIX How would someone without free will have the ability to worship someone? In my opinion, without choice...there can be no religion. The Ubi Vermis do not think, they don't have feelings etc or in other words no free will. There is only one mind that controls everything at the same time.

Also. I know my CS (more like nation sheet but whatever, it's kinda the same thing) is sparse. I've just returned to RPing/writing anything from a long break and I'm still feeling a little rusty. I know that shouldn't be an excuse but that is how it is with me, if I don't constantly do something...I loose my skill at it. I'll give it a another look and give more information, no problem.
Thank you for taking time in reading the CS/NS and giving the advice.

Also. I am familiar with the Neurax Worm but strangely I didn't get inspired from there. The Neural Parasite ability of the Infestor creature from Starcraft 2 is the place where I got inspired from :)

EDIT : Another also. My race was not even remotely close to space travel or guns or anything like that when the Empire came so I don't have much to say about tech for them. Military ? None whatsoever. Only controlled creatures and nothing more.
Only one leader that dubs as all the other important persons that other races have because there is only one "person" that can think in the whole race.
In a way or the other...it's small because I don't have much to write about these things. I don't say that I couldn't (and probably should've) written something more in other places to compensate.

@Ardent Debater Bumping a thread is not against forum etiquette :)

You should really give more details about the world (how, why, when etc) if you want to attract people. I personally am not interested but the name of the RP made me curious about the setting.

This galaxy isn't yours! - The reboot

@LegionPothIX Are you sure you tagged the right person? My people are worms without any free will that eat minerals in larvae form and then whatever the hosts eat to sustain themselves.
Also. No religion. Religion need free will to work, right? :)

But if you really where talking about my people, thank you :)

This galaxy isn't yours! - The reboot

The Ubi Vermis

Name: Ubi Vermis (Latin for worm)

Flag: None

Type of Governement:

Hive-Mind

Description of Governement:

All Ubi Vermis submit to the all knowing will of the Matriarch. Free will between the ubi vermis is considered taboo.

Main race: Ubi Vermis

The Ubi Vermis are a worm-like race that live within their hosts most of their lives. From the moment they exit the eggs laid by the Matriarch, they are hers to command. While mostly defenseless while outside a host, they become stronger when infecting a creature. As soon as they enter a host's body either by entering through an open orifice,an open wound or by making a small incision with their small but sharp teeth, they make their way to the host's brain and assume complete control. When the control is established, the host's body starts changing itself at DNA level and 'thus enhancing the host's natural abilities. Be them simply a greater physical strength and a higher regenerative ability or changing the host's DNA in a way that would make him a monster in the eyes of his brethren.
Ubi Vermis can enter the host's body and stay in a "latent" phase for as long as the host doesn't die / make an X-ray control 'thus making the worm visible.
In their natural form, a Ubi Vermis can withstand extreme temperatures (from -100°C to 150°C), have a high tolerance for radiations (think cockroach resistance). They can burrow into the ground using their teeth while also being able to cut through ice and low level materials (plastic and the like).

Minority races:

Uninfected humans, Ubi Vermis that have not infected humans, Fugere Explosiva and Lupe Demona

Lupe Demona

IGNORE THE IMAGE ON THE LEFT(the small head) AND THE WRITING PLEASE

The Lupe Demona are a race of wolf-life creatures that can survive in the harshest conditions due to their natural habitat being the "Wasteland" as the humans now call the third habitat of Aes 3. The Lupe Demona's are the first race that the Ubi Vermis infected when they first evolved, making them the creatures they are now today. Once they had fur and no claws but their ability to run for an extended time made sure that they could hunt for their food even if it meant exiting their natural habitat. Now that 99% of the Lupe Demona's have been infected and the rest original Lupe Demona became extinct, the Lupe Demona evolved in what they look like now.

Fugere Explosiva

Fugere Explosiva are the second race that the Ubi Vermis infected. Flying creatures that are akin to flies from Earth except for their natural ability explode at will, spewing their acid blood in a 1 meter radius and their size (big enough to be able to hold a human on their backs).

Demography:

25% humans, 50% latent Ubi Vermis infected humans, 5% Ubi Vermis, 10% Fugere Explosiva and 10% Lupe Demona

Religion:

The Matriarch is their Goddess

Culture:

The Ubi Vermis don't have a culture per se. Because of the Hive-Mind is their will and thought. The Ubi Vermis adapt to the culture of the hosts they inhabit so that they pass undetected.

History:

Before the Empire:

Planet Aes 3 was the homeworld of the Ubi Vermis since their evolution 2000 years ago. The planet itself is split in three different huge habitats. The first habitat is a huge jungle in which the Fugere Explosiva evolved and expanded on the whole planet from there, the second habitat is a rocky zone with valuable minerals beneath the earth and is the reason why the Empire colonized the planet and the third habitat is considered a dead zone because of it is a massive radioactive desert with quicksand and occasionally glow-pits (a glow-pit is basically a big hole in the ground covered by radioactive sand and at the bottom of the pit acid floods the pit).
The third habitat is the place from where Ubi Vermis first appeared on the planet and slowly started to search for different species to infect.
They took control of most of the Fugere Explosiva race and continued their infection-spree. That is when the Empire came to colonize the planet. At first, The Matriarch gave the order to study the humans and then infect them but soon retreated back to the Wasteland where humans couldn't survive. Seeing the power of the humans, a plan was formed by the Matriarch. Remain hidden until an opportune time would present itself.

After the Empire came:

After a few years of hiding in the deep sands of the Wasteland, the humans expanded and built giant machines to dig into the earth, eating away it's minerals. The Matriarch waited still for the moment to strike and it soon presented itself. A group of human colonist entered the Wasteland to explore it. Using Lupe Demona to attack and confuse them, Ubi Vermis larvae slowly but surely entered the human food and as soon as the humans ate it, they became The Matriatch's subjects. The Matriarch extracted the information they had on the human mining colony and then sent the humans back to their colony, making the Ubi Vermis inside them latent so they could pass undetected.
200 years later, the Matriarch watched the humans take control of most of the planet and retreated even further underground. The Lupe Demona became "domesticated" by the humans as hounds of hunt but unbeknown of the humans, they all served the Matriarch and she used them as silent spies and egg carriers. Ubi Vermis would exit their eggs from within the bodies of the Lupe Demona and infect the human masters while sleeping then going into a latent phase.

Important characters:

The Matriarch is the overriding will of the Ubi Vermis. She is their leader,spy master and Goddess.
*IF ALLOWED IF NOT SIMPLY IGNORE THE FOLLOWING PART*
Several security officers and the Chief of Security of the Aes 3 are infected with Ubi Vermis.

Description of Military :

The Ubi Vermis do not have much in the means of the military but they can use anything that their current host can use so that means basically anything the Empire has and one of the infected human knows how to use it's usable by any Ubi Vermis infected host.

The two major military-like uses that the Ubi Vermis are the two minor races that live on Aes 3.
They use Lupe Demona to attack and confuse attackers while Fugere Explosiva attack from the sky and if needed sacrifice themselves to kill the enemies of The Matriarch.

Technology:

Ubi Vermis specialize on bio-tech, evolving their hosts beyond their normal form. Different creatures mean different evolution possibilities.
Before the Empire came, the Ubi Vermis's technology would be somewhere under the technology of the Neanderthals from Earth but as soon as the first human was infected the Matriarch understood that the galaxy is much bigger than they would realize and more races exist to be brought under her overriding will.
For the use of Empire Tech or other races, the Ubi Vermis must enter a host that knows how to operate the said technology to be able to use it.

@6slyboy6 I think I explained that the Matriarch hid from the humans so they don't know about them :)

Harbinger

Name/Alias: William "Harbinger" Augustus

Species: Half-Umbra - Half Human

Species Lore : How exactly The Umbra first appeared is not known by most who've had the chance to interact with a Umbra. The Umbra are most myth than reality for most as the number of Umbra that took human or some other earthly form is lower than 1000 throughout human history. The truth of the matter is that once a few thousands a human is chosen to be transformed into a Umbra and then tasked to represent the Umbra race in their interests on Earth.
Umbra society is structured in a caste-like system with every Umbra having a place chosen from the start of their existence. The human chosen to represent the Umbra race is the only Umbra that is allowed any contact with humans or other supernatural creatures.
Throughout history people tell stories, that most don't believe, about the Grim Ripper, a creature made of shadows and bone that takes away the dead into the Afterlife or that he is the one that knows when you will die and comes to take you. As with all stories, there is some truth to them. The Harbinger is sent on Earth to carry missions for the Umbra, be them simply killing those that would get close to finding out the truth about the Umbra or simply kidnapping humans to be sent onto the Umbra dimension.

Appearance Human Form :

Appearance Shadow Form :

Faction: The Umbra

Biography: William Augustus was born in 130 BC and was a roman legionary until his death and transformation into "The Harbinger". Most of William's life is a misery for other and himself as when the transformation finished, most of his memories faded. The memory that was stuck on him is the most defining experience of his life.
While on a mission in Britannia following the rumors of Pict "black magic", his party and him followed the Pict priest deep in Pict territory and what they've found was something totally different. The last Harbinger was using the Pict as his personal army to weaken the Roman Empire's hold on Britannia and by doing this furthering the plan of the Umbra.
His party was slaughtered in a few moments by the "priest" but William was not about to be defeated by a mere "Pict" and by pure luck and a determination borne from a life in the Roman army, William did the impossible for a human and put his sword through the Harbinger's chest.
He smile and said to William a few words before the shadows the swirled around him entered William. The word were "Thank you. My torment ends. Yours begins. I'm sorr--".
From then on William served the Umbra without question, doing whatever they demanded from him.
In 600 AD, William was called upon by the Umbra into their world and was gifted new powers for his loyalty. When he came back to Earth, many years passed and the Crusades began.

Personality: Serious - Loyal - Unrelenting

Melee Weapons:

A Sword and a knife katana-like sharp

Firearms:

Skills/Abilities:

Shadowshift : William shape-shifts from a human form to a Umbra form becoming invisible to the naked eye without a strong light-source. Staying in this form taxes William's willpower as the Umbra eats away at his mind until it kills him.

Enhanced Body: William's speed,reflexes,strength and regeneration have been enhanced beyond normal human capabilities.

Shadow Bolt: William concentrates his Umbra in his hand and fires it at a target. If the target is hit by the Umbra it will slowly start to fade away into nothing as the Umbra teleports the target to the Umbra dimension where it will be killed. The process can be interrupted of course, if the target's willpower withstands the Umbra's willpower.

Shadow Blade/Arrows/Bow: William's swords,arrows and bow do not have a physical form but instead are created by the Umbra inside him.
While making William appear unarmed and not dangerous, the weapons are made out of William's Umbra and 'thus are an extension of himself.

Shadow Walk: William becomes incorporeal and teleports a small distance, no matter what objects are in front of him. As long as he sees the destination, he can teleport there. (maximum 5 meters)

Shadow Tendrils (Ultimate Ability): Using the Umbra inside him, William concentrates into making 6 shadowy tendrils which can appear from anywhere that light doesn't shine. The tendrils themselves cannot be cut away without using a magical artifact of some kind. William tho' cannot protect himself while commanding the tendrils.

Other: William has a tattoo on his left arm with the flag of the Roman Empire.
William has another tattoo on his neck with the year when he think he was born, written in Roman numbers.
