    MetalHead_Owl Orbital Explorer

    Character Name: Neem Yarrow

    Character Race: Floran

    Character General Info: Neem is, comparing with human years, around her 20's. Always eager to learn new things, she has a very big interest in gardening and travelling through the stars discovering all kinds of plants and wildlife.

    Character Description: Yellow petals with a red flower on her 'hair petals', pale green skin with near-black eyes.

    Character Biography: While foraging for fruits and plants to take to her tribe, Neem discovered what appeared to be a very large steel can overgrown with vines. Neem was always a curious Floran and so, she started to examine the object. The object had a sleek, futuristic design, similar to the flying machines that the Apex people have. After removing some of the vines, Neem discovered that it was in fact a crashed Apex ship. After examining the uncovered surface of the ship, the young Floran tried to gain access inside the ship. After much time trying to break the glass on the front of the ship, opening a hole on the hull of the ship and having the stupid idea of attempting to enter the ship through the engine, she saw a faint glow on a small square buttton near one of the rear windows. Curious with the glowing thingy, she pressed it. Suddenly, a bright red flash engulfed her and she was teleported inside the ship.
    Taken by surprise by the sudden teleportation, she fell backwards dizzy. After a few seconds, she examined her surroundings.
    She started feeling euphoric with curiosity, exploring every inch of the old Apex ship. The interior was basically empty save for a locker, a tech printer, a fuel monitor and the captains chair with its monitor.
    She felt like a little Floran all over again sitting on the captains chair and pressing all kinds of buttons, thinking the ship was unable to even turn on, much less fly.
    Oh how she was wrong. With a loud rumble, the engine came to life. Scared with the sudden noise, Neem started running around the ship not knowing what to do. And suddenly.. Lift off... Neem looked out the window seeing the so familiar forest getting ever farther. Neem did her best to calm down, and sat down again in the Captains Chair, seeing this as her opportunity to fulfill her dream of travelling through the stars.
     
  4. Langsuyar

    Langsuyar Intergalactic Tourist

    Character Name: Stomachpuncher Reddress
    Character Race: Floran
    Character General Info: 19 standard earth years

    Character Description: Lean body. Lithe frame. Her 'hair' is a large flower resembling the earth genus Rosa, except pink. Her skin is all red, speckled with pink leaves, and her teeth are sharpened, like any Florans' is. She might smell alternately of Rose, or carrion, depending on what she had for dinner that night.

    Character Biography: While a hunter like most of the 'primitive' Florans in the universe, she always felt like she was left out of her birth colony. Everyone was... more bloodthirsty than her. Wholly uninterested in learning about the greater universe beyond their next meal. With her name given as most Florans are, SP (As one of the late explorers that nicknamed her before their untimely demise) finds it unfortunate, and ultimately unfair that she was not given a chance to learn more about their prey before she is to kill them. Undeterred, she then manages to somehow scavenge a ship from the leftover settlement of one of her colony's many dinners and takes to the stars, wishing to find out more about the universe... and maybe not eat the first explorer she sees. At least, not until she's sure she's learnt everything they know.

    Character Name: Dr. John Kong

    Character Race: Apex

    Character General Info: Dr Kong is an extremely intelligent being, always researching, always planning, always one step ahead. Despite his soft looks, John can get pretty mad when something isn't exactly done as he says. He spends most of his hours researching or with his family. John has a wife and three kids. You could say he is living the good life. If it wasn't for that one day...

    Character description: White plumy hair, a darker fur and a large beard.

    Character Biography: John Kong grew up in a rich family. Actually, it was one of the richest families in that town. He was sent to the best school, and rushed education to start on with his career as soon as possible.
    His childhood was not that exciting. He lived the life every student does.
    At the age of 15, having finished school, he started his own company: Kong & Co.
    This organisation specializes in new-tech. Constantly did they try to invent. The company also adjusted and improved lots of existing materials and, mostly, weapons.
    Still eager to learn and improve himself, he continued. Until one day, Dr Kong was nearly assassinated because of his work in a new operation: A matter that could collaps entire solar systems. He fled town, leaving family and friends, and most important, his research, behind.
    At the date of today, he still doesn't know who it was that wanted him dead. Some say it was the government that wanted him dead, for the dangerous things he was realizing.. The government never admitted.

    Harrilal Void-Bound Voyager

    Character Name: Maggie (no last name)
    Character Race: Avian
    Character General Info: As many other Avians are, she is carefully curious. She is a young adult by Avian standards. She is a fairly apprehensive character, in all senses of the word. She is suspicious of anyone she does not know. She always tries to have an exit strategy. She is quite intelligent and does a lot of research on as many subjects as she can.

    Character Description: Maggie was inspired by the Eastern Azure-winged Magpie. As the Hyena cannot put blue on her wings without all her feathers becoming blue, she has blue pants instead. She is exactly as she appears in-game. No fancy scars or amputated limbs.
    [​IMG] [​IMG]


    Character Biography: Not being one to talk about herself, her exact history if fairly unknown. However, her personality pretty much spells out the basic details. She has volumes upon volumes of books on her ship. It is clear that the majority of her life has been dedicated to studying. As a result of her academic focus, she has zero combat experience and it is painfully obvious. Despite her concerns for personal safety, her unending curiousity took her from her comfort zone on her home planet and into the vast unknown.

    Her goal is to build a museum filled with cultural and historical artifacts from around the universe.

  9. Seykela

    Seykela Master Chief

    Halcyon forum name: Seykela

    Name
    : Vladimir Classifier
    Race: Human
    General Info: an agent of the Naturalist Order of unknown background (common initiation procedure involves bio-engineering, personality and appearance modification; old agents repeat the procedure occasionally).
    Description: (from the last known modification) extremely pale (nanotized) skin, hairless, nervous and overcautious.
    Biography:

    From the Naturalist Recruit Pamphlet
    ...

    You can fuel your ship or build shelter without harming the environment, just scan planet's underground for suitable minerals, dig there through a small shaft and leave the biosphere alone. It is not just ecological, it is economical: common fossil minerals are twice as effective (2.00000831 on average) at fueling your ship compared to common wood of the same biota.

    ...

    There's no need to kill when dealing with aggressive wildlife. These three simple rules will help you preserve local fauna: 1. Examine your route before en route; use field optics to scan the distance ahead of you. 2. In a critical situation, use jump capabilities of your exosceleton – never underestimate it! 3. Direct surface route is not always the best choice, use natural caverns to hide or to evade possible threat. *** And remember: creatures you kill won't be resurrected back to life as you do!

    ...

    Study the planets you're visiting, even if on a short fuel-gathering trip, study local biosphere and organisms, take samples to figure out how to artificially cultivate/reproduce them later, make contact with sentient races and learn from them. And do not be shy to undermine them if those are utilitarian speciesists! If you will stay faithful to our goals, who knows, may be one day we will repay the damage our kind has made to all those countless worlds including our own...

After several sunsets of contemplation, I gathered what I could of my tools and crops and took off towards the sunset. I have not seen any of my tribe since. I now tend to my crops in peace, watching the sun rise and absorbing the warm rays.

Its strangely comforting to know that we weren't its only victims. Yet at the same time had it not attacked us I'd still be working in a scrapfield tearing up old ships... So in a weird way I'm thankful I suppose... That's a messed up thought..." -audio skip- "I found some unfriendly humanoids in purple robes living on a nearby planet. I copied down some of the wall jibberish and the ship translated them to "The Beast will save." I'm heading back down first thing tomorrow." -end-

    I've received some criticism about the names and how apps are taken, while some people say they are fine I'm not one to ignore criticism. Apps will be a tad more strict because of said criticism. With that said, we now have a wiki. While it's early, you can PM me with a username/password for it since only accepted users are able to create/read it! As for names, you no longer REQUIRE a last name (but it is preferred that you have one still)

    Now, apps.



    Pending - Will talk to Schmoop/Pip about this one. I'll PM you with the final verdict later.


    Pending - Another one to talk over with Pip.

    Accepted. PMing you the IP.
