The story takes place in the year 2245, in the year 2018 the existence of aliens was revealed to the world, after sone time humans and aliens live together as if it wasn't a big deal, with living together you exanged culture and technology, you (the players) are members of a merhant space ship named the Black scythe, you sometimes do some shady stuff for the black market, one day your captain tells you to pick up a "special" package and since he tells you thay he will trow you into space if you screw it, you know is something important, to make sure you dont ruin it, he tells his most trusted man, Sarso to go with you (alien dude of the race Kurum) and while you are leaving your crewmate Aru (hetzelox girl , almost extinc race) shows a peculiar interest in the package and decides to go with you.
I'll explain the rules:
Be nice unless your character is fighthing with other or something like thag
Swearing is allowed.
Gore is allowed but you need a good reason to use it.
Shiping is allowed as long as the players involved in it are ok with it.
As for the character sheet:
Name:
Age:
Race: (you can make up a whole race or just use one of the mentioned, Nemmenitah, Eldemaeran, Kurum, Karasian, Oquori, Irikrian, Hasash, phenary or just human, I got a few infofmation about Nemmenitas on my tumblr MotakiMask but you dont have to check it if you dont want to)
Gender:
Extra: (not necessary, you can put stuff like backstory, quirks, a disability, addiction, fun facts or just nothing)
Skills: pick 5 skills, you have 20 points to spend, you can use as many as you want in the skill of your choice.
Sorry if it's to much, is just that Im more used to roleplaying in real lige and all.
It stars like this:
Sarso: remember what the captain said, screw this up and we are dead…
Aru: you guys are dead, Im not part of this.
Sarso: says the snarky teenage who got into a mission without the captain's orders.
Aru: shut up…
(Can you briefly explain your races?) (Are you playing as Sarso and Aru?)
Nemmenitas are tall and natural hunters, they have some tentacle like protuberanceson ther heads that help hem detect movement, those are called ie'chas, is extremely painful to get one hurt and can cause damage, there are the kau'relea with long ie'chas and the Oaracea with short ones, they normally have short names followed by a ' with he name of their clan
Eldemaereans are normally short and have white skin, they can hve splashes of color in areas like their cheeks or belly, they have cat like pupils and something in thet back that lools like jellyfish tentacles, the kurum are amphibious looking people with long legs and terapod like feet, they can also walk in four legs if they want to, got just two holes instead of a nose, no lips and their eyes are only one color (whatever you chose), karasians are fish people with an eel tale
Oquori are spider people with an scorpion tale, irikrians are tall people with a cobra like thing on their heads with two tentacle like tings on the frot ad big pointy ears, hasash are small people with relatively big hips and ther legs have a weird gap, they have velociraptor legs, snake like mouth and tounge, big eyes and two venom sacks on their head that makes them loke like snakes, also litle fangs, phenary are glowig people with whith white eyes and tiny spikes on thet cheeks
And since I made the story I guess im the narrator so I play the every npc but if a player wants to take one they can, sorry for the long answer and that I took a while to answer
(Neat, I think I'll use my own race thanks) (That's okay)
And I just realize I forgot the hetzalox, I meam they are almost exting but to give an Idea on how they look: They are tall and skinny, their skin comes in cold and dark tones, they have this thing on their heads that is similar to a crown, that normally is quite long and can be completely straight, curved upwards or down, they got long pointy ears and glowing dots on their body, they also have face tattoos that represent the family in which they were born.
(cool can they do anything special?)
And because I tink is fair that I present my characters like the rest:
Name: Sarso Seresec
Age: 434 (equals 25 years)
Race: kurum
Gender: male
Extra: always cracking his fingers and streching, prefers to walk on four legs when he is alone, his parents abandoned him because he was cursed acording to a local leyend (apparently blue eyes equals evil), he started to steal stuff in order to survive and got into some shady stuff, then he tried to steal stuff from the captain which impresed him and that got him into the crew

Handiness: 4
Charisma: 2
Name: Aru Tahcedaeda
Race: hetzelox

Im only introducing this two for the moment
Well, since they were once a succesfull empire most got extremely good education so most of them are incredibly smart and all their organs are able to regenerate themselves besides living for thousands of years
Name: Blake Ariss
Age: 299(25)
Race: Shathian
Gender: Female
Extra: Blake is sarcastic and a tiny bit hostile. She has short, jagged dark black hair, narrow black(not completely solid, but no difference between iris and pupil) eyes occasionally hidden by hair, very pale skin, a huge grin with pointy teeth, and she is thin and lanky with long bony limbs and pointed ears. She normally wears a long black heavy-duty trench coat, dark gray checkered button-up shirt, loose black pants and a belt with a large, curved black knife. Blake's family and entire species is a peaceful, tree-hugging tribe despite their creepy appearance. Blake was sick of their rituals and mindless love and one day she turned and left. She got on the ship with no specific job in mind and eventually became pilot.
Stealth: 3
Intimidation: 5
Toughness: 4
Intelligence: 6
Sniping: 2
Yes, everyone can enter, sorry for taking a while to respond
And yes, in fact makes her a badass so that's cool, besides I feel like she would geg along with Sarso (if you are ok with it)
Is ok if we start tomorrow? Im a little bit tired and my phone's batery is almost dead… Also, can I draw your characters? I guess it would be nice to have an image of everyone, I'll see where I can post them (probably make this a universe and use the galery)
Ok! Working on it (Your´s be ready soon!)
Continuing with the story:
Sarso: Oi! Blake, get that knife ready in case something goes wrong…
You aproach tothe men your captain told you, an oquori wearin a black hood and golden jewelry, he looks at you and makes a signal with his tail.
Sarso: You got the package?
Oquori man: I assume Ahir send you as a guard, may I speak to the one this mission was asigned?
And off topic, I just made the univese for the gallery (Invalid Universe) I have to resume Blake´s story or else it wont fit on the page, I also put a little reference I made of Sarso yesterday and add a reference for the Black scythe, it still a concept art but I feel like I wont be doing many changes in the future…
(cooooool!! How long did they take?)
Blake took around one hour and a half, maybe two, Sarso took probably around three (I took a long pause after doing the lineart) and the concept for the ship, that specific one was an hour, and also, thanks :)
Oquori man: Hey! you! The shathian, Im assuming Ahir send you here! After all, Sarso is his little gloryfied bodyguard and oh my… A hetzelox… Im assuming he didn´t let her go alone…
Aru tries to be intimidation but everyone can clearly see how scare she is, Sarso is looking at you like he spects you to talk or do something.
(Sorry if im being annoying but I feel like I need to say some stuff to give an idea of how stuff are in this universe:
1- You are in the planet Ihenemme, the homeland of the Nemmenitah, you arrive around the time they celebrate the festival of the three moons where they align and cause something similar to an aurora borealis, at that time of the year the planet has lots of tourist meaning that there are going to be lots of guards everywhere, that´s means two things: you can go around and everybody will think you are there for the festival but if you do something weird you will alert the guards.
2- There are way more races that I didn´t mention mostly because it would be a lot and most of them aren´t fully fleshed out yet and it would probably be anoying to play as one of them.
3- I should maybe add this to the rules but I feel like I should also put it here, lets try to post daily at least one thing, I like what we got so far even if it has been just a few lines so lets just try to keep this alive, I know you probably are bussy and soon I will be going back to school, that´s why I said try.
Again, I apologise for being annoying and for the long post…)
