@6slyboy6 I still need to do the important figures, but opinion on the rest?

This galaxy isn't yours! (On hiatus)

WIP

The Council of Aurae

Name: The Council of Aurae

Flag:

Type of Government(So the Empire knows what they are dealing with): Subconscious Democratic Technocracy

Description of Government: Each citizen is implanted with a chip, one that provides a wealth of knowledge on the information they are voting on. This also allows them to subconsciously render their votes in referendums. These replace traditional republics and democracies. However, the human hosts of the technocracy have refused to be chipped, and instead cast their votes independently. These human votes are set up in a way so that one human vote is worth dozens of Aure votes, meaning that the Aure are effectively forced out of the equation when it comes to voting. Otherwise, there is a council of scientists that introduce the laws to be voted on. This council is entirely dominated by humans, due to the election system.

Main race(Your own species, unless you want to play as humans): Aure, a race of batlike peoples. They are generally weak-boned and lacking in strength, but on their low-gravity homeworld they are capable of flight. They are also capable of echolocation. Their hands are simply phalanges attached to a large joint.



Minority races(humans and what other. Needs to be at least 50% humans if you majority is them): Humans

Demography(Min 20% humans): 25% Human, 75% Aure

Religion(Optional but appreciated): The Aure have no religion, they are innately capable of technical processes and skills and they largely see religions as superstition.

Culture(A paragraph or two): The Aure are natural tinkerers, great inventors, and amazing scientists. They aren't great at art or war, however. They've been, for a large portion of their history, fairly communal and peaceful. Their culture emphasizes community and sharing discoveries. They're generally nonviolent, and prefer to avoid it where possible.

They hate the Empire, for subjugating them and hampering their progress.

History(what you did under the rule of the empire fo roughly 300 years): The Council was an easy conquest, not having the military tradition or hardware to repel the humans. Within a year, the entire planet had been conquered, with very little casualties. However, the Aure suffered grievous casualties, mainly massacres and genocides. Afterward, they remained in fear and stayed quiet as their rights were stripped. Eventually, they became trusted enough due to their quiet obedience that they became a large part of the Empire's infosec and IT support infrastructure. Their natural affinity for technology made this transition much easier.

Important characters(very important, your leaders, your strategist, your spy master and any other important character IN DETAIL):

Description of Military(ships and ground troops): N/A. The council has no military.

Technology(note that there are no energy shields, and that doomsday weapons are not a thing.): The Aure's technological advancement was forcibly stopped after their conquest, meaning they rely heavily on the human's empire to keep them from reverting to the stone age. They mainly use Empire technology.

Additional(whatever you feel like you want to add):

@popecrunch Accepted!

Resistance Radio [Sci-Fi]

And here's my character. Probably a bit over the top, but I'm pretty sure she'd still fit in rather comfortably:

It's Pronounced 'Pay-ette'

Phaeoet

Speciality
Phaeoet specializes in entertainment. More specifically, telling stories in a satirical manner. Expect plenty of riffing and exaggeration from this freebird.

Origin
Phaeoet was originally a criminal from Sector Z-388, known for thievery, manslaughter, and piracy, among other things. However, she never stayed imprisoned for very long. Her time spent in Sector ACT Penitentiary was especially short, lasting only 36 cycles, or 6 Earth hours. This is largely due to the pirated arm cannon on her left arm, which is very complex and nearly impossible to hack. Her violent tendencies and rather twisted personality are largely due to childhood abuse, since her father was equally insane and often punished her for being more like her mother than her father. However, if the man had seen her daughter today, he would likely take back what he said and beg for mercy.

It's...complicated how Phaeoet managed to become part of Resistance Radio. Basically, she saw an advertisement for it some time ago while cruising around some sector or another, on the look out for any cargo ships with valuables on board. At first, she was conflicted as to whether she should get the treasures and bolt out of there, or take a short break from the criminal life, which had recently started to bore her. So Phaeoet sent an application explaining her "epic sense of humor" and, out of sheer dumb luck, managed to get inducted. It's honestly a miracle that she hadn't killed anyone on the team yet.

Species
Phaeoet is half-human, half-Corvale, which is a race of bird-like humanoids. Most of her body is human, although she does have some Corvale traits, most notably the wings and second, smaller heart.

@GarlandDaHero

I'm afraid I'm going to have to deny this for now. My main points of contention are the arm cannon, abuse backstory, advertisement for the radio (if there was an advertisement the Empire would clamp down on it), and overall crazy demeanor that would likely not see them placed on an important position such as the main radio.

Resistance Radio [Sci-Fi]

The IC is open! Of course, we're still accepting new characters, but for now, the accepted characters can greet each other, prepare their first radio show, etc.

EDIT: As a general rule, please have at least 2 paragraphs a post.

Resistance Radio [Sci-Fi]

Welcome to the radio room! This pirate radio serves as your new job. Discuss amongst each other, decide what you’re going to say, and air your first show.

Today’s reports:

45th Empire Day

Today is the 45th anniversary of the formation of the Empire. Parades and military marches are taking place across many planets. Fleets have canceled today’s exercises to celebrate. On the capital planet of Mars, truly impressive fireworks displays are being viewed. Most workers have gotten the day off to view their local planetary parade and subsequent defense fleet demonstration. There have been rumors of a new armor platform being introduced for security efforts during the parades.

Genocide of Halion II

Reports are coming in from independent freighters and cargo haulers that the planet of Halion II seems to be completely lifeless. Corpses litter the ground, and it’s unsure of what happened. There is a heavy Imperial presence in the system. One thing is for sure: this was the doing of the Empire. How exactly they managed it is unknown, however.

Rebel Cell on Geon Crushed

Recently, contact was lost with Gem Squadron on Geon, and the worst was feared. This has been confirmed with the public execution of a number of people within the cell and many of their sympathizers. Other cells remain active on the planet, but Gem Squadron was by far the largest and most important on the planet.

Senate Overruled by Emperor

A Senate vote introduced to the floor that would lower the military funding was recently hit by a unilateral veto by Emperor Zelv. It otherwise would have been nearly passed with the rogue senator group the Delegation voting unanimously in approval. The Delegation has had its power hit with its senators showing up dead, or worse, but it remains a force to reckon with in the Senate.

@Zahir @catchamber both accepted!

@Dauthis ty! Feel free to make a character sheet, you're not required to know anything about making a radio station.
