Date: Space Year 47 According to the Magsyn Empire. According to the Hegvan Union it is 6,637 A.U.E. Current Location: Uysric Galaxy Synopsis: The Uysric Galaxy is and has been in a Perpetual War for Dominance of the Entire Galaxy. This devastating war is between the Magsyn Empire and the Hegvan Union. For many, many years, the war has been equal in bloodshed against both sides. Many civilians of the Uysric Galaxy can’t even fathom a life without these two juggernauts engaged in mortal conflict. Hundreds, nay, thousands of planets remained completely devastated from the war. These wounds haven’t healed, but have only festered and rotted, as more salt has been poured into those bubbling wounds. And it seems like the Uysric Galaxy will be consumed in war-fare until everything is destroyed. Perhaps, there is still hope… people who wish to end this conflict once and for all, and are risking everything they have to either allow their side to win, or finally end the bloodshed… BUUUUT… this isn’t that story. No, even with their technology the Twin Powers still lack a complete influence in the galaxy. Plus, bureaucracy tends to be hard over vast stretches, even with this territory. In fact, several star systems in the Uysric Galaxy haven’t even heard of the Twin Powers at all. No, the real story here is about the weirdness of the galaxy, or rather the bizarre ways of the Universe itself. Oh and that’s not even mentioning parallel and perpendicular universes, and the vast, vast galaxies which have life, and also the barren ones. No, this story is about the strange individuals who go out into the fantastical universe and make a name for themselves, in whatever way they feel like making it. So, are you ready to get out into the vastness of the universe and do… well whatever, from heroic quests, to villainous plots, to adventurous expeditions to the farthest reaches of space, turning the tides in Galactic Wars, personally influencing the development of new life-forms, or even just drinking at a wretched hive of scum and villainy. THE UNIVERSE HAS IT ALL, SO BEST OF LUCK. Oh, as you probably guessed by reading this far this is a light-hearted, nonsensical Sci-fi adventure. If this game were to applied on the Sliding Scale of Science Hardness… this is extremely soft. Anyway, below will be an example character sheet so you can make a character if you are interested. Character Sheet: Name: This ranges from your legal moniker, and pen and stage names you have, criminal aliases, forged identities, and even what your childhood’s friend, cousin in law used to call you back in the day. Gender: Male, female, etc. Age: Another standard thing to know. How many solar rotations has your character been through? (Yes, this is space, so I had to ask the age based upon solar rotations.) Race: In the Vast Expanses of the Universe… there are many, many forms of life, besides just humanoid, there are even life-forms that are gaseous in nature and communicate by flashing colors. Basically this means, any race your heart can dream of. (Well, within limits of course, like don’t play Silver Age Superman who can destroy Galaxies With Sneezes…) Racial Traits: Just for an easier to read format on what makes your particular race special. What are the defects of your race, what makes you race better than the base humanoid? Physical Appearance: Either use a picture or write a description for this. Either one works. Personality: What characteristics and qualities make your character, well your character? How do they think, and feel? You don’t need to be overly long in this description, but give a general starting point to their personality (After all, it could change in game.) Occupation: What does your character do for a living, well at least at the start of the game… Who knows, maybe they’ll find a different occupation down the way. History: Give a slice of your character’s background. What events shaped who they are today? Does your character even know they had a background? ((Yes, you do have the choice to say “My character knows NOTHING of their background”. If that is the case, expect a fun learning adventure in the galaxy…!)) Skills: Every character has skills and flaws, this would be the section where you would go into detail about this stuff. Equipment: So is your character as rich as a Planetary Governor, and has a badass Inter-stellar Warship at their disposal? Or is your character just a lowly individual serving some sort of Hyper-corporation with nothing to their name? Or most likely, is your character somewhere in between? List any pertinent equipment your character has. Aspirations: What drives your character? What do they want from life, and what causes them to be truly ambitious. Give a few character motivations/aspirations. Philosophy: What beliefs does your character holds dear? Give your character a few personal beliefs. Random Tidbits: Any random tidbits that you want to add about your character. Rules: Don’t God-mode; don’t take control of another person’s character, etc. Treat others as they’d treat you. For posting, go with the flow with the other people playing. Though I’ll be trying to keep it fairly fast paced And the most important of all of the rules: Have a fun time!

((More detailed version may come.))[/hider] [hider= Senator Vicaver Kaseo Agorix]Senator Vicaver Kaseo Agorix, former Legionnaire, is a notable Senator, who is younger than his typical, fellow colleague in the Praeclaran Senate. Behind the mantel of a graceful and noble Senator, he is truly a megalomaniacal brute, who will snap at the sign that he is not in control. He is the owner of Akira Tokugawa. ((Aka BBEG for Current Arc)) Name: Vicaver Kaseo Agorix Gender: Male Age: 37 Earth Years Race: Elrac Racial Traits: The Elracs are quite similar to humans (many humans say this is the result from one path of their evolution, while Elracs said humans came from one of their unfortunate experimentation that made an inferior species.). Elracs are notable for their elongated pointed ears, and generally being taller on average compared to humans, alongside a longer natural lifespan than humans. Elracs are also more inclined in regards to dexterity than humans. Personality: Senator Vicaver views himself as a kind and noble individual. He usually acts with an air of grace, and power fitting for an individual who is in his position. However, that is a charade to the real personality. In reality, Senator Vicaver is a megalomaniac, who can easily snap when things don’t go his proper way. He is a blood-thirsty brute, quickly resorting to bouts of violence whenever something offends him and his sensibilities. While he tries to keep his bloodthirst in check, (after all, just being a bloodthirsty monster would not go well for his Senatorial Career), he instead finds himself drawn back to resorting to violence. He is a fan of the gladiatorial games, and hosting meetings and friendly gatherings with the other Senators. However he is incredibly loyal to the principles Praeclara were built on, and wishes to restore it back to a glorious Republic. He believes that the average individual cannot exist without being guided, and that it is easy to control them. Occupation: Senator in the Praeclaran Senate History: Vicaver was born as the eldest son of Senator Rothilion Kaseo Agorix. At his earliest of days, he was told by his father of how he would become a proud member of the Praeclaran Senate. He was taught by many scholars, and Rothilion encouraged his son to listen carefully at events he hosted with the other Senators. Vicaver, signed up to become a part of the Legion, much to his father’s dismay, but he reluctantly approved of Vicaver going into the legion. While in the Praeclaran Legion, Vicaver proved himself to be a dangerous combatant, and a rather cruel one at that, allowing enemies to live, just so that they could suffer and die a more painful death for opposing the Praeclaran Empire. After a few campaigns, and the death of his own father, he was quickly applauded and took the seat that belonged to Rothilion, and continues to work as a Senator. Skills: Senator Vicaver is a skilled combatant, which is expected due to his service as a Praeclaran Centurion. His primary fighting skill revolves around either his spear or high frequency gladius, and his enhanced shield. While as a centurion, he gained insight into War Tactics, and picked up on code breaking (as to best find and slaughter the enemy). Vicaver is also a shrewd politician (when he isn’t suffering from breakdowns of not being in control). He also has enhanced strength and endurance, and some regenerative properties, due to the nanobots that were placed inside him during his days as a Legionnaire. Equipment: Senator Vicaver has an impressive estate, holdings in slaves and guards, and credits, and modes of transport. He also maintains his Centurion gear, and keeps it in proper condition. As he was a member of the Praeclaran Legion, he was given nanobots that still are in his bloodstream. Aspirations: Senator Vicaver wishes to become a more powerful and influential Senator, and gain a majority of supporters in the Senate so he rules it. (Alongside generally becoming a rather powerful figure in the Senate, and restoring the Senate to a more powerful institution than the Emperor.) He wishes to expand the Praeclaran Empire (which he wishes to revert back to a Republic underneath the Senate he controls), even further and increase the power of Praeclara. To make all of Praeclara kneel before him and accept him as the highest authority. Philosophy: Man chooses, while slaves obey. The lambs exist solely to sate the appetite and bloodlust of the wolf. The unenlightened masses cannot make the judgement call. I'll give my people what they need, my righteousness will succeed. Random Tidbits: He hosts several events for the common man to attend, out of his own pocket. Senator Vicaver can play the Holo-phoner quite well.
