    Lemod Void-Bound Voyager

    Character Name: Jim Michael Liborion
    Character Race: Human

    Character General Info: Jim is 24. He is very head strong. He likes to always prove that he is right. He is the type of person that has to know the answer to everything because the lack of knowledge makes him scared. This came about because of his father Jack. Jim is perceptive and is reserved when letting people in. He always tries to keep his guard up because of the tragedies that occurred to his family. Jim is very handy when it comes to gathering and building things because of his life being raised on a farm. He knows how to hunt and preserve animal hides. He also plants crops for himself to survive.

    Character Description: Jim is 6'0. He has acquired his height from his father who is 6'1. He is known to have his father's clenched jaw line and chiseled features. He has a dark brown brow that seems to scrunch together when he is upset or contemplating something foreign to him. Jim has curly mahogany colored hair that falls just above his forehead. His eyes, which he inherited from his mother, are a pale blue. Jim is averagely built however most of his strength comes from his arms. He is strong due to the heavy lifting that comes with farm work.

    [​IMG]

    Character Biography: Jim was born as the older son to a poor farmer family. Both parents met at the ripe age of six teen and knew from the moment that they laid eyes on each other that they would be wed. However, Elza, Jim's mother was from wealth, whereas, Jack, Jim's father was of lower status. Elza's family threatened to disown her if she dared marry Jack. She decides to run away with him forever to one of the newly colonized planets to start a life of their own. Just months after that she finds out that she is pregnant. On the day of Jim's birth, September 23rd at 3 in the morning, Elza brought her curly haired bundle of joy into this world. As she stared down onto the baby's loving face she was filled with a glowing smile. Jack looked down at his son and couldn't describe the happiness that he felt. He kissed his wife's forehead and said he has your eyes. They both agreed to name him Jim.
    Years fly by and Jim is taught everything that he needs to know by his father. Life is tough on a new planet and one must learn to be self-sufficient to survive. He was skilled with hunting, gathering, and running machinery. Jim was taught to be strong by Jack. Jack always told Jim, a man is not a man if he is weak. He said that he only won Elza and was able to take care of her thus far because of his strength. From that moment on Jim knew that he would always have to be strong. To be timid was a weakness and weaknesses caused death. When Jim was five he soon learned that he not only had to take care of his mom and dad but a little sister as well. She was named Rose because of her crimson hair a top her head and because of the rosiness of her cheeks when she cried out for the first time.
    Jim had been so confused about the idea of a baby. All he knew of his sister was that she would cry all the time and take away Jack on their daily hunts. Jim became annoyed with Rose and couldn't understand why his parents loved her so much, to him, she was annoying.
    It wasn't until one night that he realized how much he loved her. She was inside her bedroom when he heard her crying. His mother and father, who slept on a spill of blankets hadn't budged. Jim wanted to make the crying stop so he got up and walked towards Rose's room. He was surprised that when he walked into her room she immediately stopped crying, as if she knew his annoyance. He went up to her crib and looked down at her. She stared directly at him, the same eyes as his peering back, and she giggled. Something changed in Jim that day. From that moment on Jim knew there was more to life than just surviving and he vowed to always protect Rose.
    As Jim turned 18 he realized not only the importance of family, but the importance of love as well.
    He doesn't remember when exactly he knew he felt in love. Maybe it was when he first saw Khenna's face at a town hall dance. She was quite tan with a spill of hair the color of autumn with eyes the color of honey. She smiled at him, her hair dancing in the wind like a fire’s flame. He smiled back at her and walked over to talk to her. Perhaps it was when her hand touched his sending sparks and unknown feelings shooting through his entire body. Or maybe it was when he saw her laugh for the first time filling him with a joy that only she could bring into his world. Either way Jim knew that life with Khenna was perfect.
    It wasn’t long before Jim realized what comes next; he planned to ask for her hand in marriage. He had awoken early in the morning that day and noticed that his mother and father were gone. That was normal as they always were up and out bright and early working. He walked into the kitchen and to his surprise Rose had disappeared as well. He walked outside his house and noticed that no chores had been done. Now Jim realized something was wrong. He began running calling to his family but was answered only by silence. It was only when he found their bodies among the now crimson red corn fields did his heart stop. Creatures sat above his parents mangled about their broken flesh mewing strange sounds. Their long tentacles flung towards Jim but he screamed in anger as he tore the first tentacle from its host with all his strength. His father’s words ringed through his ears "You must be strong, never be weak." He struggled and pulled the that tangled mess as the remaining tentacles latched on to him until his own skin and flesh gave way and he tore himself to freedom. He sprinted towards his house knowing that he had to find Rose.
    Jim got to the house and was surprised to find Khenna already their standing at the door out of breath and with the look of terror across her face. He immediately embraced her in his arms but before she could finish her sentence “Jim what’s happening…” a beam of red light crashed through the house and sucked her up into the sky. Jim having had his love ripped from his arms is consumed by lose and red rage. He collapsed to the floor in pool of his own blood and is surrounded by a red light.
    Jim came to inside a small spacecraft with his wounds already bandaged. Among the strange faces neither Rose nor Khenna could be seen. He would come to learn that he was rescued by a group of refugees fleeing from earth to his planet from the tentacles. Unfortunately other refugees somehow ended up spreading those tentacles to Jim’s world and could do nothing but watch in horror as that same scourge tore it apart. In the confusion Jim never finds out what happened to Kheena or Rose but he clings to the hope that they too were rescued by some group of refugees. Years pass as they drift from planet to planet but the tentacles continue to spread. It isn’t until after disease, starvation, and several close encounters with more tentacles leaving Jim is the only refugee left that he finally manages to get far enough away from tentacles grasp. However, he is stranded without fuel or supplies before an unknown planet. Furthermore Jim is done just surviving; he now is hungry for resources and won’t stop at anything to get them. He still clings to the hope of finding his loved ones but now preoccupies himself with building up, making himself more powerful and preparing to return the worlds plagued by tentacles to wreak vengeance!

    fixed all the errors, cant believe i didn't catch half of them. really sorry


    Character Name: Silver Sinnard.
    Character Race: Floran
    Character General Info: Age 19, Male, is a rather serious and aloof character, interacting with few and choosing his words wisely every time
    Character Description: 5' 0 has white silver flowery hair, and much to his dismay, is a rather girlish looking character, even for floran standards.
    Character Biography: Silver through out his early youth shared the same love for stabbing as his floran kin, except he loved to do so from the back. Trained since youth to be a accomplish warrior, unmatched on the field, his father expected him to be a unstoppable fighter with no equal, just like he was in his glory days. However, as the years went by and silver grew, it became more and more apparent that Silver lacked the talent, drive, and most importantly, the body for such a thing. Silver was often shunned and looked down apon by his community, and because of this he had to lie, diplomacy, and steal his way to anything and everything that hes ever wanted from others at young age.

    Silver first gained his love of thievery and deception at the age of 14, where his father had grown tired of his son failing his expectations, and put him in what he had thought to be a abandoned temple. His father, disgusted with his son, told him not to come back, until he could survive a full year in the temple and around its wilderness by his own power. Abandoned and alone, young Silver explored the temple, till he crossed paths with a score of raiders. Lead by Krineck Listovian, a Floran from a planet afar, the band of interstellar thieves where known as the Black Orchid, one of the best and most effective lifters of valuables that the stars had ever seen.

    Krineck had listened and sympathized with Silvers story, and saw a chance to turn a bitter child to a savvy thief. Krineck trained the child for 3 years, after seeing aptitude and drive of will to succeed in the lessons that Krineck taught Silver. with pure obsession, and never ending days and nights of training and practice, Silver had become the best silver tongued, pocket raiding, thief, who was more than accomplished, in acrobatics and resourceful exploration.

    on his 4th year, Silver had returned home, only to lift every pixel and bit from his fathers position, to fund his adventures with the Black Orchids.After only 2 short years of serves too them, Silver decided to separate off to make a name for him self alone,or with a new crew, and further hone his skills. Saying his long goodbyes to the crew that had become his family, Silver had gained a ship as a reward for his years spent, and now explores the stars as a upstart rookie through the open space

    Silver makes up for his lack of floran savagery with a silver tongue, cunning guile and trickery, and his adeptness at skulduggery, hes a haphazard sort how ever, loving adventure and raiding ruins despite not having the natural combat ability to fight them off as effectively as he would wish. He despises his short comings, and tries constantly to improve past them, while still polishing his talents, this often has mixed results.

    Silver has had few friends, but knows of the warmth and kindness that they can bring, getting past his cold shell, or his lying face, will often lead to a good and reliable friend, who is willing to do unspeakable horrors in the name of himself and those he cares about.


    Cultivating a love for exploration, infiltration, guile, and thievery, Silver Sinnard has all but abandons his home planet to explore the stars for adventure and opportunity, despite his young and inexperienced age. While a rather amoral, he values the few friends and comrades he makes, and is willing to fight and die for them without question, but he sees all those who are not his allies as outsiders, and would have no qualms about putting them to the knife, provided he had a good angle behind them to slit their throats.
    he is a "rational floran" in his own words, preferring to live another day than die in a glorious fight, making him a weaker fighter than most in his race

He has no discrimination towards other races as he has been instilled with a code that dictate he wander the universe righting wrongs. He carries his self with a stoic demeanor at all times, even during combat situations.

While seeking to expand their boarders further, their ship experienced a critical engine failure, breaching the atmosphere and crashing into the planets surface with Zaft and Ace as the only surviving members of the crew.

    ((Having a ship breach the atmosphere would be a rather noticeable event. I won't mind if it's used as common knowledge for RP purposes or rumors. Go nuts.))

    Character Name: Ace of Deux

    Character Race: Glitch

    Character General Info: Ace is a hardened and dented knight that has been in the service of the Glitch city state of Imperator-7. He is a 'by the book' construct, that can be ruthless at times to achieve what he wants. Throughout his career, he has been praised as a machine that can be counted on. His primary function is a Justice code that dictates he hunt, dismantle, and destroy any Glitch deserter that has fallen into insanity, In addition, he is considered a justicar and will eliminate any injustice performed...whether it be by his own kind or not. He does this with the help of his order, and shield brother, Zaft.

    Character Description: Ace is the embodiment of a justicar. He stands at the higher end of six feet (6'7), and is covered in jet black matte paint that his chipped in places where he has received minor wounds, though he receives new paint from squires whenever he is in town. His wrists are adorned with reinforced plating that acts as additional shielding. His knuckles are also modified to fit dulled studs that allow him to "Tenderize" his targets. The thick armour that covers his body leaves little interior wires to be shown but those that are visible in the breaks that allow him to move fluently are wrapped in a protective and flexible titanium alloy. Ace's name comes from the white Ace shaped cut that was made intentionally on his visor, which pays homage to the fact that bits of his original armour were crafted from a human entrepreneur's gambling craft which was shot down and raided by Imperator-7 scouts. dark purple painted pixels on his sleeves act as "Tattoos" which he uses as a fear technique that he picked up from Floran savages on a previous mission. two Cyan lights are visable from the chipped visor that he wears (Should the heavily tinted sun blocker be raised. He does this to block out particles of dust, rather than the sun.) His right shoulder piece is of larger make, and seems to have been welded to him without proper equipment, as it was needed after he sustained an injury from their crash landing, the shoulder piece belonged to another member of his squad, now dead. Every inch of the machine screams intimidation, which might be why he doesn't feel the need to speak much. When he speaks however, his voice is low and backed by the hum of systematic vibrations in his "throat" coming out powerful but strained in a thick medieval dialect. He normally fights with a blade and shield, but is proficient with a two handed sword, and spear. His massive frame makes him capable as a warrior, or a ranger- But certainly not a scout, or an assassin. His stature may offer the illusion of a massive oaf, contrary to this, his processor is one of the more advanced ones, so he thanks his quick thinking and general knowledge of survival to his parents that created him.

    Character Biography: Ace was created as a project commissioned by the Glitch king of Imperator-7 to serve as one of his high ranking knights, he was born with an advanced processor, and the recycled chips from some of the kingdom's scholars to also serve as a scribe, but as common Glitches do...there was an error in his programming that caused him to lose interest in data study, and focus on threat removal. This was less than a hindrance as it encouraged him to be a more powerful warrior. For a few years, he was tested under grueling stress by his superiors until he finally was granted knighthood and assigned to a squad of Justicar where he met his shield-brother, Zaft. They were fine tuned for compatibility since birth so that one would protect the other. This method was used for the entire squad. This type of relationship led the squad throughout the universe, and to the many colonized planets that Imperator-7 roped into it's claim. They spent years together hunting down rouge Glitch, and seeing to the affairs of the select planets that fell under Imperator-7 control. Their most recent mission took the squad to this planet, where their engine malfunctioned and caused them to crash land, disabling the entire squad and leaving Ace, and Zaft as the soul survivors. Ace, being created with the common name of Imperative, later changed his system surname to "Of Deux" to say that he was one of two remaining in his squad. After attempts to get into contact with their fleet, the two activated their back-up drives and ran a function that dictates they fall in with this new planet's society and spread the glory of their home kingdom in the only way they are programmed how; by providing swift justice to any wrongdoer they come across.

  13. SubjectSeven

    SubjectSeven Space Spelunker

    Character Name: Model 8394

    Character Race: Glitch

    Character General Info: Model 8394 was first activated 203 years ago. He has a distrust for Hylotl and cannot look a Floran in the eye. He also has an affinity for any dish made from wheat. While not programmed for it initially, whoever reactivated 8394 installed Morality V14 into his CPU.

    Character Description: Dark paint covers scorch marks, dents, and chips along his frame. New green image receptors and gravity stabilizers keep 8394 functional. Equipment and attire are of no importance to 8394 as he dons whatever is available and most useful at the time.

    Character Biography: The first program installed into 8394 other than Basic Functions V17 was the Alpha Sector Intergalactic Patrol Functions V2.

    After 85 years of service in the ASIP Model 8394 received a distress call from coordinates 593, 284. Heavy interference kept 8394 from receiving the full message, but "Florans, shooting, ssssave" was processed. Tracking the signal to a planet from a planet called Thraxullas AX, 8394 was given the command to get onto the surface of the planet take a first contact scouting report and then beam back to the patrol cruiser and send headquarters any information that was received. While beaming down to the planet, 8394 was immediately fired upon by Hylotl raiders. 8394's processor was damaged and he quickly dispatched them with a superior ASIP commissioned loadout. However, the execution order that 8394's processor had issued was not confirmed complete, and 8394 continued eradicating all forms of life on the planet, even 4 villages of the native Florans that he had received the distress signal from.

    When ASIP backup arrived 2 days later in a squadron of cruisers and a jail ship they detained and shut down Model 8394. He was scheduled for vaporizing as soon as the vessel landed, but the convoy was shot down by a group of unknown ships in the X Sector.

    118 years later,
    8394 reactivates on a ship with a matter manipulator and a few other tools scattered about him. A data log is left by him. He inserts it into his processor, "Welcome back".

  17. Jozaru

    Jozaru Void-Bound Voyager

    Character Name: Jozaru Sosuke

    Character Race: Hylotl

    Character General Info: is a polite, soft-spoken intellectual, often addressing his subordinates by their given names. He rarely shows any sign of alarm or distress, and often has entire situations planned out well in advance. Whenever confronted, Jozaru is casual and uncaring, attempting to draw out a conversation and make small talk, which often infuriates those he is talking to, During his time as a captain liked tofu, but he disliked boiled eggs. In his free time, he often read, and he gave a special lecture of calligraphy at the Shin'ō Academy because he excelled in this branch of arts. This optional course was immensely popular among the students, and many of them felt great sorrow at Jozaru sudden departure. But will fight to protect the innocent or himself. Believes all creatures hold value and enjoys peace and friendship. Distrustful and defensive against florans for how then attacked his race and forced them from their home. Would like to find ways to bring people and races together to find harmony in the universe.

    Character Description: has 3 red hylotl eyes with blue scaly skin with a large dorsal head fin Likes wearing comfy robes with a little style to them initially ,not afraid to gear up and go when its time for his job (hides) a streak of vanity beneath his demeanor and if given the chance it can overcome the neutral attitude he tries to assume.



    Character Biography: Now lost some people found him and tells them a story ,appeared to be a very kind, well-respected captain and was looked up to by many, especially his lieutenant, JLex. However, this was just a mask to disguise his manipulative, and very dangerous, nature. In truth, he cares very little for his underlings, and is willing to use almost everyone around him as pawns to achieve his goals. In his own words, Jozaru claims to be unaffected by any form of morals or ethics, as he views them as mere restrictions on his potential. He is, therefore, willing to stop at nothing to further his selfish ambitions, including manipulating or killing anyone if he deems it to be necessary. He frequently appears to toy with his underlings for amusement. Unlike most of the other Hylotl, who generally have some form of honor and kindness, Jozaru lacks genuine compassion and honor.(hides something in his life in his past) When the florans forced the hylotl from their world Yasunori, in his grief at being separated himself from the few friends and family he had during the chaos, took a small ship that was going to be left behind due to limited fuel reserves and left on his own. After living very simply while visiting many planets and learning that out in untamed space you had to fight to survive, Jozaru finally fell behind keeping the ship fueled stranding him on what looks like another lonely plannet. His long years away from other sentient beings have left him stoic, but he secretly longs to speak with companions after such a long time.

    Inspiration Intergalactic Tourist


    Character Name:
    Jett B. Moonbeak, just call Jett though.

    Character Race:

    Male-Avian

    Character General Info:

    23 Years Old.

    Character Description:
    Beautiful golden beak which stands out due to his ash-gray color-scheme of feathers that rest on most of his body. He isn't exactly muscular as he feels that a ton of muscle would remove any chance he would have of flying so he tries to keep a slim frame.

    Strictly believes that the Avian's own devotion to their God is what keeps them wingless. Jett believes that the Avian race as a whole has to take an enormous step in a different direction to get where they should be. Not that he would tell this to any other Avian however...that would be foolish.

    Character Biography:
    Tired of the Avian's sole devotion to their God Kluex; Jett just needed an excuse to get away. He said he was simply, "going on a pilgrimage to find the light in which Kluex dwells.", and that is exactly what he did. He saved enough money for a ship and flew off, that was until his ship hit an asteroid deep in space and he was picked up by a friendly Floran that tried eating him in his sleep. Now he is known to be drifting off in space, landing on planets and just staying as far away from Avian preachers as much as he can.
