    The plot:
    A rag tag team of survivors in the post apocalypse future of starbound, is overrun by lens flares.

    Every single planet in the galaxy are as dry as my jokes.

    I've gone to far, can't stop now! Gotta finish it here, baby!

    Characters:
    Meet unlikeable cliche and stereotypical starbound characters like:
    The edgy human cliche.:headbanging:
    The atheist avian cliche.:proper:
    The apex rebel leader cliche.:viking:
    The scientist Floran cliche.:nurudapper:
    The badass Hylotl cliche.:hylotl:(the only good one mind you, that can be done well, and can be very original. I've seen it. For both Florans and Hylotls.)
    Luckily, the glitch and novakids have no cliches.

    *Inception horn*
    Watch as the Unrealistically large cast of characters, get killed by lens flares.
    *Inception horn*

    Watch as the world does not develop at all to make the story interesting.
    *inception hornX3*

    I won't be turning my phone off for this movie. No one will mind anyway, since it's a Space Michael Bay movie.

    Master Automan IV review of:

    Starbound: The movie with Arnold in it.

    SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This movie......was a pile sentient fecal matter.
    I mean there was a very compelling side plot focusing on the Love between the scientist Floran and badass Hylotl. I would say its better than the main plot. I recall many people crying when the Floran betrayed everyone, but I guess later we learn that the lens flares were the good guys. But this movie is just weird.
    There was a scene where a the avian was trying to make love with a cactus.
    The human just wanted to tap every lady he saw redgarless of race. Big ape is the rebel abex father. This movie really tried to copy star wars didn't it. Greenfinger was killed by the lens flares. The novakids were just a bunch of terrorists. The glitch were the main target for the lens flares. Speaking of glitch, batman showed up, and had a crush for a glitch. He felt like a forced love interest for the glitch woman. I mean never actually cared at all when batman sacrifices himself at all.

    Now, the amount of plot twists is insane.

    Next in the list is the boobs.
    Just to much.

    Finally it been confirmed that George Lucas is making the special edit.

    Floran vs. Glitch 2: Boiled Hylotl Extreme Tornado Shark Nuclear War!

    Coming this August...
    A world where only a giant Floran and an extremely upgraded Glitch are alive... Suddenly, the Hylotl army arrives! And with them comes... The zombie Apocalypse!!!! As the Floran and Glitch fight for supremacy, the Hylotls are slowly slaughtered... And then a meteor hits, triggering tidal waves and all sorts of other devastating natural disasters! *cut to shot of the statue of liberty floating away*
    Only one person can save the planet...
    Robot Dwayne Johnson.
    Soon, as Robotic Dwayne Johnson and Darth Vader, who time travelled into the future before he died, fight to the death, a cyborg Vladimir Putin gains control of the entire solar system. With the tornado closing in, and the zombies quickly approaching, the survivors have only one option: the shark launchers.
    Before that can happen, a new force emerges from the darkness... The angry, rocket launcher-wielding monkeys!
    But even more conflict arises when the real Dwayne Johnson arrives, but this time with DMX and Satan by his side! He engages in combat with Robotic Dwayne Johnson, and all hell breaks loose when Big Ape intervenes. Soon, as what remains of the shattered Confederacy marches in from the south for the final battle of the 18th Civil War, the time machine that Darth Vader used malfunction and sends Brian Williams through, along with the Avengers except for Captain America and the Hulk, because they were killed by the Supreme Intergalactic Leader, Bernie Sanders, during the second American Revolution.
    Just how will this mess unravel? Find out in Floran vs. Glitch 2: Boiled Hylotl Extreme Tornado Shark Nuclear War!
    Rated PG

    Another character I plucked from the archive of starbound characters.
    Yes, you read that correctly. I have a archive of starbound characters that I made.

    Juno Lach

    Age: 19 (Human years)

    Race: Floran

    Juno is that special snowflake of Florans.
    She was picked up before birth, by the lach family. With was made up of: 3 humans, 2 Hylotls, 1 avali, and of course 1 floran.

    Juno is rather "cool" for a Floran, most likely caused by being around her human peers.

    Juno is one of the 2 engineers of the crew.
    The other being the avali, Silas. We will get to him another time.

    Juno of course is highly intelligent.
    Being able to invent wild contraptions since her youth.

    Juno's relationship with other Florans is rather, uhhh well...................it aint good.
    Other than that, she is more friendly around the other races.

    Juno like many of my other characters, left home together to live better lives.

    I hope so dearly I did better. Since Strix's backstory was kinda bad due to not having his biography with me at the time, and having to use muscel memory. Similarly to Juno's.

    my main character is an avian on unstable named Frostcaller Anivia (most of my character names are references). She was a stargazer, but was less of dogmatic zealot and more of a learned lorekeeper ala medieval monks. Her line of studies kept running into dead ends: why were the stars different colors? how far away were the stars? more centrally, What Are Stars? Her continued irritation at the traditional answers ("Because Kluex made them that way", "Unfathomably", and "the realm of Kluex") led to her being branded a heretic. She escaped on a stargazer ship that was in for maintenance. Her hyperdrive busted on the first jump, stranding her in an unknown star system. When she encountered the outpost and learned of the truth about kluex and the visitors from space she was...shocked, to say the least. Over time, she kept busy, exploring new stars, studying new ores and metals, shotgunning penguins, that sort of thing. Eventually, she found the star that had always intrigued her: an icy blue star, surrounded by dark and frozen planets. As she explored these worlds, she discovered the secrets of rubidium and celerium, and had a realization: if one group of sufficiently advanced spacefarers could start a cult on accident, a well-trained and motivated expert could do it by herself. With her staff, The Will of Kluex, she has set out to convert her people to a new way of thinking. To not just gazing at the stars, but really Seeing them.

    I had a mad scientist/megalomaniac self-made royal glitch with an obsession with architecture but my game keeps glitching and now her whole save is corrupted

    So, wait, are you talking about the backstory given in the codex (or diary, whatever), or our own head canon?

    Your characters own personal backstory.
    The one you create for he/she.
    Not from codex or diaries.
