    Character Autobiography: The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive. At fifteen life had taught me undeniably that surrender, in its place, was as honorable as resistance, especially if one had "no choice". I was living my live as any other apex should. Monotone, soulless... 2 years of these thoughts. Someone gave me that "choice" . I felt into a fight Minikong vs. Resistance. I cant describe that feel. Someone has seen this "choise" take it and resist! I can do the same. That day is the Begining Of My Resistance. I'm telling you this story because you need to wake up. You are a pawn on their game. And now... I'm taking that choice and join the fight against the machine that control us. Six long years i kept fightning the machine. Some times diplomacy some times war. But even i need to visit each star in this universe. I'll find the Hearth of Machine. Detach the chains of It and free all young and bright pawns. Me? Like many of us im a pawn too looking white with a blackened hearth...

    On my journey i will need to find reliable people who wants freedom. I am sure they are wandering across stars freely...
    One sharp, stern struggle, and the slaves of centuries are free.

    Your story checks out, however I need to confirm with you that your character is at least the age of 20. We have an age limit here at Unbound Travels. I appreciate your effort to be unique as well, although, Glitch have to be Glitch like, not humanoid. I'm going to need you to tweak that part about your application as well before I can accept you.

    Good amount of description within this story, however, I'd like to know a few things before I can accept you: Who taught Rikiyu how to fly a ship? was it his father? did he learn else where? How did Rikiyu know of the existence of the research facility? Did it have some sort of correlation with his father's work?

    Just touch up on your bio a little bit for me and then I'll be able to accept you.

    Denied, I'm going to need a lot more detail in your profile in general please.

    Accepted! You will be sent your information shortly.

    Denied, please try to tweak your biography a bit more. It may be hard for you to write a story, but you're going to have to try your best to write something decent at the very least for us to get a glimpse of how you roleplay.

    Denied, your biography needs a little more detail behind it. Go into detail what she studied on, was it ships, space travel and first aid? or something else? Did she have any family? Did she live alone?

    Denied, I'd like for you to revise your biography a bit and add a bit more detail.

    Denied, your general info seems more like a biography than your biography itself. Please revise your profile so that your biography explains why you character is the way they are. Your general info should just be a few things like personalities, quirks, and other miscellaneous things.


    Denied
    , I'm going to need more details in your biography as well, expand upon it. In addition we now have a Age Limit, you need to be -at least- 20.

    Approved! You will be PM'd Information shortly.

But in one moment he realized, that this normal life in this materialistic society wasn't that what he expected from life. So he left Alpha'se (The name of the Moon, and the eponym of his last Name 'se) with a freighter and lived for some days in a jungle. He was found deseased and near to starving by an explorerteam and was brought back home. He knew: Without any experience and without any Gear he can't survive a week out there in the wild. Later he met an old man. An old Apex that used to be an explorer. He taught him several things in survival and warned him to not overestimate himself. Now, after 3 years of drudging for this society, he sold all of his estate and bought a ship and fled from his homeplanet. But now he don't has fuel anymore and is left on a planet. By now there's no experience, there's no food, there's no weapon, there's no other way. Its time to write his own story now...

    ZKurioshi Space Hobo

    Character Name:
    Nyssara Karpen

    Character Race:
    Human

    Character General Info:
    Nyssara is a kind woman who seems to be in her early 20's, she'd do anything to help someone out and hasn't seen much when it comes to fighting just yet. She tries her best to avoid conflict, and tries to calm those who seem to be close to getting into one.

    Character Description:
    http://oi39.tinypic.com/11m8783.jpg

    Character Biography:
    Nyssara's life before traveling through the stars was a simpler one on a small planet with her mother, merely studying and reading books to better her knowledge of things, as well as patching up anyone who was wounded within her hometown as there was not a lot to do there. Her studies ranged from small things such as cooking, to much larger things like spaceship repair. She'd learn how the wiring worked, how to make sure the converter for the fuel system was working properly, and how to tell which part was broken based upon sound.

    She came from a rather boring place and wished for so much more, but was never able to get out there and see the world! However, as luck would have it, one day she stumbled upon a crashed ship in a nearby forest of her home, and with the knowledge from her studies upon ships and how to repair them, she would fix it up and get it flying. Soon she was not only traveling the world but also the stars! She'd be sure to take this opportunity to learn all she could about the different races out there, how they lived their lives, and hopefully some of their origins and histories.

    As time went by on her travels, she'd see a few planets already, and they all seemed to be rather nice, though some of them empty and bland. She'd run into a good many enemies as well though, having to learn to fend for herself lest she be killed in the process. As much as she hated violence, she couldn't deny that at times there was no other way. She didn't get much research done yet either since everything attacked her, or there was nothing there to begin with, but she was sure that soon she would run into people and civilization to help her along the way.


    -----

    There is a more descriptive version of the biography, I re-posted it because I was not sure if you'd prefer I do that or tell you to go back and look.

    I Am a Secret Wizard Astral Cartographer

    Forum Username: Sputnik

    DISCLAIMER: This is mostly backstory and a snippet from my character's culture. I'm interested in fleshing him out through interaction with other characters and seeing what's his place on the universe we create. I might make his warrior training surface, or I might send him on a journey to embrace more peaceful goals. I'll see that if I get into the server!

    Character Name
    : Sputnik of the Narrow Murk
    Character Race: Hyotl
    Character General Info: A Hyotl scout from a banished Clan turned tracker. 94 years of age, 33 years over metamorphosis age.
    Character Description: White scales with black fins, bright red compound eyes. Unassumming and humble to others.

    [​IMG]
    Character Biography:

    The Spirit Creek Clan
    In the furthest reaches of Hyotl space lays the Starshade sector, controlled by the Spirit Creek Clan. The Clan's ethos can easily be summarized by the customary last words of every Hyotl slain in a duel: "Thank you for your teachings." The victor is glad to answer: "It's me who's learnt a lesson."
    The battle-hardened Clan had an uneasy relationship with the Hyotl Empire's leadership - the Clan's leaders considered the quest for peaceful expansion a fool's errand, and never failed to boycott each Clansmeet. It was widely considered that peace within the Hyotl with bring complacency with it.
    The Hyotl Emperor's advisors grew weary of the Spirit Creek Clan's dissent - they, on the other hand, feared internal conflict may undermine the trust from the rest of the Clans and dismantle the Empire. The advisors set forth a campaign of punitive tariffs and blockages to put the clan back in line after they failed to present their weaponry for inspection as part of the Hyotl disarmament process.
    However, the Spirit Creek Clan's warlords were defiant and responded to the punitive measures by declaring war on the Emperor's retainers. The Emperor instructed his generals to carry a quick, decisive action to pacify the rebels without bloodshed. One third of the whole Empire's fleet was sent to siege the whole sector. Outnumbered and outflanked, the Spirit Creek Clan leaders chose to stage a last-ditch frontal assault on the vulnerable blockade on the sector's rim - the Nebula Edge - in order to secure their supply lines with Apex sectors and continue their war efforts.

    Sputnik of the Narrow Murk
    Sputnik hails from the Narrow Murk, a small planet in the Starshade sector. Known for the multiple bright moons that illuminate its nights and its eccentric orbit that prevents it from receiving direct sunlight during daytime, Narrow Murk is home to many Spirit Creek elite scouts due to their heightened natural senses and astro-tracking prowess. While Sputnik has developed these skills, it was his knack for piloting that made him stand out as a recruit for the Starshade Sector's fleet.
    Forced to choose between following his Emperor or his Clan, Sputnik chose the latter. It wasn't because he believed in Spirit Creek Clan's moral or military superiority - but the credos of the Spirit Creek clansmen did run deep in his cold blood and he had reached the same conclusion that every member of the Spirit Creek Militia had: "the Emperor is wise, and one more battle could only make him wiser."
    Sputnik left his family to escort the vanguard in the frontal assault on the Nebula Edge blockade.

    The Slaughter at Nebula Edge
    The Emperor's forces restrained from using force but the Spirit Creek fleet came in hard. Defensive volleys stymied the first charge but the Clan's warships rammed into the blockade, firing missile barrages at point blank as their interceptors shot down the ships that attempted to lift off the Imperial carrier.
    The Spirit Creek commander instructed Sputnik and the rest of the reconnaissance team to scout ahead to ensure no reinforcements would prevent the Clan's victory.
    As Sputnik looked out a few clicks away from the battle, an Imperial battlecruiser warped to his location. The massive ship quickly locked on Sputnik and sent a barrage of missiles to shut down the scout before it contacted the fleet.
    Sputnik reacted swiftly and engaged in evasive maneuvers. While he had warped out of cruiser's range, his ship took too much damage and his navigation systems were fried.

    Lost
    Lost and aimless, Sputnik's ship drifts in space. One year of solitude passes before his ship is picked up by a Novakid trawler. He discovers that he has gone far beyond the Hyotl home galaxy - and that war still rages in his sector.
    After being employed as a hand in the Novakid ship, Sputnik learns of other intergalactical species and hones his tracking skills in space. He saves pixels to buy his own ship and try to make his way back to the Starshade Sector, but the Novakid convoy moves farther and farther from his home on its travels.
    He finally gets enough currency to fix purchase a ship and sets off on his journey back home. But is there a home for him to return to? Or will the thrill of discovery lead him on to a new quest?

    I don't know if you're talking about my age or my character's age, but I myself am 28 years old (almost 29, lol).

    I will change my presentation, anyway:


    Character Name: Keyko

    Character Race: Hylotl

    Character General Info: 28s, Keyko is travelling the stars searching for an aproprieted home for her race, since they lost it in the great war against Floran people. Keyko is a pacifist, and is willing to try to heal the scars between the two races in order to prevent another war in the upcoming years. Other Hylotl treat her like a fool for believe that any sort of peace between both species is possible, but she knows that it might be the only way for her people to survive!
    Character Description: with a light grey skin and big red eyes, Keyko like to use black clothes in order to show herself as the bringer of a balance needed for peace among all races in the galaxy. She is talkative, although is bend to listen to what other people say with full attention.


    Character Biography:
    L.S.S. Logbook - First Entry
    Captain Keyko

    I've been traveling the stars for a week now, away from my people, away from my family. I finally arrived at the Alpha Sector, and if that avian merchant who sold me this map is correct, I will probably be able to find a suitable planet here. He said that some mercs have found an "useless ocean planet" in The Alpha Lapine 69 system, and this is exactly the kind of stuff I'm looking for. Of course I still need to make some research once I get there, because my people need a very specific kind of atmosphere. The last "ocean planet" I found turned to be some sort of poison water, so I must be carefull.

    L.S.S. Logbook - Second Entry
    Captain Keyko


    It all turned to be a scheme form that filth merchant! The planet was, actually, an arid barren world, with only some strange aliens. I actually found a avian settlement, but everyone there was dead, somehow. I also found lots of spaceship parts, so I think they were some sort of pirates, or something, luring people in that spacific planet to rob then. I wasn't alone, though. Murphy's laws seens to smile to me form time to time, and I met a group of florans scavengers, probably the same guys who killed the avians mercs. Good thing my uncle Yun taught me to fight. I don't like to fight, but those guys weren't willing to talk, so I just defended myself. Either way, is terrible to take out someone's else life away. I felt terrible. But for the sake of my people I still need to find a homeworld. But right now I'm pretty much lost...

    L.S.S. Logbook - Third Entry
    Captain Keyko

    I've been traveling this alpha sector for a long time now. Have been a month since the last settlement I found, and I'm short on fuel. Maybe my mom was right, after all... I shouldn't have followed such a childish dream. Since my father died in the war againt the florans, his starship, Leviathan, was standing in the fleet's hangar. Me and my lil brother start to working on it, trying to repair it. Mom was mad with us. She said that she couldn't stand lose more of her beloved ones. Deep inside, I knew that this is what I had to do. This is all her fault, anyway! She was the one who told me all about our homeworld. A beautifull ocean planet, with paradise islands, where our people lived for thousands of years. Our civilization finally found peace under the rulership of the Celestial Emperor. Culture, arts and technology flourish. But then came the florans. The dread ones, like my mom use to say. And the war began. I can't understand! Our people was looking for peace all the time! Trying to bring to the galaxy the same peace our people found. But that history... Now my people travel across the star, lost. depressed. Some do it alone, other, specially families, travel in big fleets. But everyone seens to have lost faith in our future... I can't stand that! Maybe if I find a suitable planet... maybe I can convince my people that we can start it all over again...

    L.S.S. Logbook - Forth Entry
    Captain Keyko

    I finally run out of fuel. And I'm lost. And hungry. And desperate... I can't lose my faith, though. My entire race depends on me... My scans found this odd planet, and I decided to give it a shot... Maybe I can find something that can help me get back to my quest. My scans shows that I might find hostiles in there, but I'm prepared. I feel so lonely... But it is time to go. May the Celestial Emperor gaze upon me, and bless my efforts with a reward for all my people: a planet where we all can live again!

    Character Name:
    Dennan Tynt

    Character Race:
    Human

    Characer General Info:
    Age - 25, Soldier for the USCM, he was one of the best soldiers in his company, with a very bright future.

    Character description:
    He pretty tall, about 1.95m (6.4 feet), most of the time he wears his black jacket and one of his jeans, if he doenst wear his USCM uniform. He has blond hair and green eyes.

    Character Biography:
    Dennan Tynt was a soldier for the USCM, he fought in many battles, to protect his family and all the other people that trustet in him. But the mission at "Gamma Alteron X IV" changed everything Dennan ever belived in. He allways fought against the evil, the danger at least what he thought what is the danger.
    At the 10th day after the invasion, they came to a small Avian village. The Mission was to find every hint of smugglers and illegal gun sale. Officer Prid was the leading force at this mission, he allways was a hot-headed and fast irritable person. After 10 days without any hint for illeagal activities, Officer Prid became a little angry. He thought he couldt come back without any usable hints, beacuse he was the one who wanted to come to that planet.
    As the army went through the city, they came to the INN, inside, the army saw a group of Avian Pirates. They were not threatening anybody but the officer needed something he could bringt back to the general. He wanted to arrest the Pirates for no reason, of course they complained and dont want to go with us. The Officer didnt even had any profes for theier guilty. Suddenly the Officer started to shoot at them and almost the whole army joined him, almost everyone but Dennan Tynt. He allways belived in the right things, he wanted to fight the evil, but who is the evil now-- no question -> the Officer. Dennan Tynt went back to the spaceship and went to bed. He wouldt speak to anyone on the flight back. As they arrived Officer Prid came to him and told him, not to say anyting to anybody. Dennan of course denied that. Officer Prid got angry and told him he would take care of his family if anything would "happen" to him.
    Dennan knew what Prid talks about and what it means, but he wasnt very cowed. Dennanwas about to forget the whole thing, at least the tried. On the 23. April, he woke up, everything was normal, only one thing was missing, his wife. He found a letter on the other side of the bed, singed by some one who called hom self dirP, of course Dennon knew who this was, he was shocked he wouldt even think Prid would be able to do things like that. Dennan went to the army base and asked where Prid is. They told him he was transfered to an USCM Prison, to take care of it and lead it. They told him the coordinates and Dennan instantly flew to it. But at the given coordinates was no prison. At this moment he got a text message to his ship, that told him that he now is one of the most wanted criminals for the USCM. They accuse him, killing of over 100 Avians civilans and treason. Dennan now knows that he cant go back to his old home, he cant go back to see his friends and he cant see his wife again, everything because of one person OFIZER PRID. But not only him the whole USCM will taste his revenege. Dennan will find his wife and gets his revenge at any cost.

    Character Name: Razor Vines
    Character Race: Floran
    Character General: Vines is a 35 year old female Floran. Vines is a savage and aggressive creature. Impulsive and violent, her first impulse to any action she perceives as threatening is to draw her sword although she is perfectly capable of noticing she is outmatched and is not afraid to run away. Despite her tribal upbringing, she is disdainful of the slaughter of sentient creatures or as the case may be, wasteful slaughter. If you aren't going to eat it and it isn't threatening you, don't kill it. When around allies or acquaintances who aren't attempting to kill the nearest savage, Vines is quiet and withdrawn, having little to no experience in social situations though when she does speak up she can end up sounding abit crazed. She has a hard time operating machinery and firearms and would rather utilise bows and swords, however she has a liking for sniper rifles and explosive weapons when she can find them. Razor Vines values self preservation above all things, though she will try to save those she travels with if possible.
    Character Description: Brown cracked bark-like skin covers most of Vines' body. A crest of dark green leaves covers the top of her head and circlets of the same kind of leaf cover her wrists, shoulders and feet. She is clad in dark red petals, which cover what modesty she has. She has rows of sharp teeth, browned by layers of dried blood, and her eyes are black as coal, with pupils of pure crimson. She is hardy and scars cover her body, etched into the woodwork of her form. She wears whatever clothing she can find, Preferring black and red clothing.
    Character Biography: Razor VInes was born at the peak of Florian expansionism. Learning to hunt with her tribe as she grew up, she excelled in the hunt, showing an affinity with the bow and blade. She participated in the slaughter and hunting of many landing parties and, at the age of fifteen, their world depleted of natural resources, her tribe salvaged a large amount of Apex ships and departed for another world, bringing her along. There, for the next few years, she learned the ins and outs of operating a spacecraft. Eventually piloting a ship for her fellow tribesmen. A few years of conquest and colonisation later, her tribe found itself enamoured in a conflict against a group of Glitch. The fight lasted for multiple years, neither side having either the numerical or technological advantage. Over those years, Vines' watched her tribes-mates cut down in swathes as the Glitch eventually won the war. Worn down and almost wiped out, the elders of her tribe declared a final charge on the Glitch castle, and, recognising the plan for the suicide it was and disgusted by her elder's disdain for the lives of their own tribesmen, Vines beamed back to her space craft and left them to die, choosing to save her own skin. Her people would not accept a coward, and, not knowing what to do, Vines' proceeded to wander, sometimes regretting the decision she so hastily made, other times trying to figure out what to do with her life which she betrayed so many to save. Eventually, she fell back on old habits. Hiring herself out as a mercenary of sorts, fighting for fighting's sake. During this time, she worked as a guard for exploration parties, hired muscle for criminals and mercenaries in various fights. Through these times, she learned a fraction of the etiquette of the various races barely enough to communicate without offending. Recently though, she has fallen on hard times. The universe is not one of constant warfare, having to sell most of her gear to keep her ship fuelled, even that was not enough and as the engine spluttered out, she was left, stranded in orbit of a strange planet.

    (Sorry if it's abit bland, not exactly well versed in Starbound lore. I do have roleplay experience, though most of it is forum and tabletop based.)

    Also, I have a question.
    Can I use a modded ship, like one of those large ones (3 rooms instead of 1) if I feel it fits my story better?
    Not too big, just a little bigger.
    Please reply!

    Acetylene
    *Sparks fly off the super-heated metal as the blowtorch combines the two pieces. The melted steel shines off the bald head and round goggles of the wielder of the blowtorch as he smiles beneath the broken welder mask. The blow torch shuts off and clangs against the surgeon tray beside the skinny man from many hungry nights of experimenting with thermals. Odd muscles pale in some places and tan in the others are seen through cuts in the fabrics from encounters with the deadly beasts of the hot wastelands. The cloth weighs heavily on the man as he turns on the fragmented machine. He lifts the welder mask to reveal a weathered face with cold, piercing, and foggy blue eyes that stands out among his faded cloth and skin. He works meticulously with the shredded circuitry to combine every piece of conductive material. He taps the light bulb as he flips the switch once again, the weathered solar panel converting the solar energy into electrical energy. His arm quickly comes up to shroud his face as glass fragments are blasted across the sand from the explosion of the light bulb. Instead of a frown of frustration, the edges of his lips break out in a admiration from the power produced. He slowly picks up the glass as he thinks to himself*

    "Quite the power produced, yet a need for insulators becomes ever more powerful... so much unrefined glass around me and of course refining is required which is no problem. Rubber, however, would be ever so more efficient once I can afford such a luxury."
    *
    He can only pick up the broken glass in his thick gloves and puts them away in a small container. He continues to work at a slow pace as he examines the other blowtorches in hopes of finding the way he imagines of using such concentrated heat to kill the ravenous beasts of the sandy wilds. He takes in consideration his solitude as he continues his work without remorse to the lack of human contact in the dry, desert air. He hides his face with the mask once again as the sparks of the blowtorch disappear in contact with the sand as he continues his experimentation. The singular name "William" engraved in the mask.*

    The sky becomes shades of green black as the glitch's visor starts to glow. The pod slowly open as wires disconnect from the robot's neck.
    "Survival illusion tests codenamed Acetylene completed," A synthetic voice rings out through the chamber filled with pods, "Glitch #3317, nicknamed William, has received substantial memory implants and artificially inputted survival and social behavior from digital experiences. He is now fit for field testing of inputted data immediately"

    *The glitch rolls his shoulders from force of habit from his falsified human body and looks down at his body, unable to display the surprise and happiness because of his metallic body. It... He... Has become deemed fit for duty from the mental tests of his brain and now able to leave this outpost hidden from the dreaded Hivemind. He calmly walks towards a hatch and enters an old shuttle with little fuel from misuse. He takes the barest of essentials and sits down to take control.*

    "Log 1, from Glitch #3-... William... I have now been deemed fit for duty and now setting off towards designated point in space... Wish me luck"

    *He presses a button and the ship detaches. He takes one last look at the station and taps the main controls. The engines activate, sending shuttering throughout the ship, and he quickly warps. The Glitch takes one look down at his body, almost filled with regret at losing his, even if fake, human body. He sets himself down in the chair and watches the stars pass by as he waits to begin his journey until he becomes rust.*

    I hope this is enough. I usually write more but I am busy at the moment and wanted to apply as soon as possible.

    Looks like I can't get away with my default :p, oh well, here's another shot, with more effort.

    Character Name: L'vant Quinn

    Character Race: Human

    Character General Info: Age - 23, Gender- Male, a adventurer and gun for hire/bounty hunter, only really cares if his pockets are lined with money and he isn't being tricked or set up in a job(Neutral Good). Enjoys a good fight and is quite intelligent when need be.

    Personality: Confident, Cocky, Selfish, Ladies Man, Honorable, Intelligent

    Character Description: [​IMG]
    He is 6 feet tall, a lean build, slightly muscular, always carries a smirk or smile on his face. Has a scar on his left cheek that reaches to the corner of his mouth, it isn't heavy but it is visible.

    Character Biography: Once a college student in a big human colony in the Alpha Sector, L'vant was a promising student when he arrived in college, expected to achieve great things due to his intelligence with Computer Science and his unusual personality; that is his tenacity to continue on no matter what and his great ambition. He chose to go for this field of study to try and impress his father, who wanted to offer him a better future and a "easy" life. It was expected from everyone around him that he will achieve great things, that he will become the new big scientist of the time, but this praise and promise was his downfall. When L'vant went to college he could not handle the pressure everyone put on him, saying that "he should do this" or "he should become that." No matter where he went everyone expected much from him, as if he was the poster boy for the new Generation. It was at that time he decided to leave it all; he ran away from his life, using the funds he got from scholarships and his parents to buy a star ship and escape into the galaxy. From there he kept far away from the colony that he grew up in, and instead decided to live a simple life where he could enjoy his own time. During his travels he encountered a fight between two hunters over a bounty and he decided to listen in, hearing about how much they earn from one bounty he decided to try and become a bounty hunter. He first decided to learn how to become a good hunter by going to one of the hunters there and paying him for his services. The hunter then decided to take his money and instead beat L'vant up, telling him "the first rule in being a hunter, don't trust anyone" as he then took the rest of L'vant's money and leaving. Everyone around him just stood and watched, some even laughing at how gullible he was. After he was brought to a infirmary and treated he didn't hate the life he ran too, but instead enjoyed it. He enjoyed the brutality that was involved and the uncertainty, the thrill of anything that can happen and the chance to become what you want. He then decided to teach himself how to hunt and use weapons, relying on a pistol and sword for ranged and close combat. He hardened up, becoming tough and smart about what he does, and not relying on people. He enjoyed his time in bars while flirting with the ladies, treating them with respect as if he was a chivalrous knight. But now he decides to start his career as a gun for hire, ready to finally leave the Alpha Sector and explore the other areas of the galaxy, hoping that this experience will help him make a word for himself. (I leave it off here to explain why my character is in the Alpha Sector with a ship with no fuel and little to no resources as a start to his career, I plan to have the character develop and change during his time in the RP, possibly even changing his personality entirely from his experience.)

    Character Name

    Amaryllis


    Character Race
    Floran

    Character General
    Information
    Spending a lifetime surrounded by the all too savage and, in many ways, primitive culture of her own. Amaryllis always felt out of place, an oddity one should say. Growing far too weary of the stagnant ways of her people she finally left the beautiful confines of her planet and took to the ambling skies. What she found astounded her in ways one can't possibly begin to think upon. It was as if an algebraist and master artist took the infinite universe as their canvas and created a sublime work of art that would outlast the trickling hourglass of time it's self. Planets tumbled carelessly around one another in their unionized dance to a melancholy brimming elegy, played subtly by gravity and physics. The stars burned across the strengthened glass of her ships windows in a serene ambiance of light and color that played subtle emotions within the recesses of her being. It was breath taking to her, and she loved every moment of it.

    Across the pages of her travels she met others of her kind, and various other races each unique in their own way much as a complex flake of snow drifting from the skies of a frigid planet. She found her calling in a deeper science. Not the science of man and technology, no, in the science of what she labeled as everything. She was but a budding philosopher casting her two pixels into the theories of countless others to come before her. She learned much from a Glitch named Clank who had a very unique outlook on life and it's meaning. She learned even more from the humans who saw themselves as scholars of the poetic nature.

    It turned her from a curious savage, to a refined individual with a deeper understanding and all too calm mind. She had observed planets as planets, and moons as moons. However once she reached a more profound and intimate understanding of the universe she saw simply that planets were not planets. Moons were no longer moons. Once again however when she begrudgingly released the finite and tangled wires of the universe. She saw planets as planets once again, and moons just as moons. Not everything is always calm for her though, she's also something of a hunter. The universe while vast and entirely unique is also a terribly dangerous place. She's a survivalist secondly, favoring more primitive weapons without a clue as how to operate a firearm of any sort. With the divine power of a steely ship behind her she moves through the verse as a voice of reason, and lasting kindness.

    Character Description
    A simple twenty five year old Floran with skin like dried emeralds and piercing, full eyes of a oceanic blue. She stands at a height of roughly five foot three inches. The foliage that cascades from her head well past her shoulders burns the dull color of an autumn red and curls slightly like a withering vine. The clothing she wears is dependent on what sort of climate she's moving her sore feet through. She finds herself favoring the clothing of humans though as opposed to the more tribal attire her race is known for.

    Character Biography
    Having left her village at the age of seventeen she took to the stars in search of something she wasn't quite sure of at the time. Having always been different than the majority of her own. At first she barely even had a grasp of the common language. Time progressed however as it does so well and she spent more time with other species and learned to speak more fluently than before. She became something of a nomad, living with the Glitch for awhile before moving on and finding herself with the humans. Most of those she encountered found it strange to meet such a civilized Floran, but she was always intent on showing people a different side of her races culture.

    She rarely stays anywhere for long. Having taking a complete shine to the lifestyle of a nomad. At this point the only thing she truly craves is the companionship of others. Having spent far too many years upon the frontier of space and in solitude she's more in search of others rather than herself. More than that though, she wants to find others of her species like her. Having learned so much and distancing her self far more than she should, she feels like an alien among her own people.
