      Long, long ago, in a star cluster not far from our own, a war raged between two inconceivably powerful empires. On one side was the Enigma, a race of shapeshifters dedicated to full economic control of the galaxy. On the other side, the Old Acirian Empire, an empire of highly-intelligent and regenerative amphibious creatures who took quite a bit of enjoyment in wreaking havoc and ruining the Enigmas’ plans at galactic domination. Both races were among the most-advanced in the galaxy, each capable of wiping out entire solar systems effortlessly, and so when it appeared that a war between them was inevitable, the galactic community braced itself for the end of organic life. 

     As they had feared, the First Great Galactic War tore the galaxy to pieces, and destroyed hundreds of star systems. It was about one hundred years into this war that the Enigma developed a super weapon capable of completely eradicating the Acirians, a device so mind-numbingly powerful that it took the energy of an entire sun to fuel one shot. The blast was so powerful that it tore holes in the spacetime continuum and actually broke the laws of conservation of mass, eradicating star systems so efficiently that not a single one of their atoms even remained in the physical plane of existence. They called the weapon “Duoc Pristaliz”, or, in English, “God’s Pen.” 

     Had they been facing any empire other than the Old Acirians, the Enigma surely would have won the war. Unfortunately for the Enigma, the Acirians were a clever bunch of Cryptobranchidae, and so they were able to locate the Duoc Pristaliz and steal it. After using it to remove the Enigma home star system from existence, the Acirians hid the Duoc Pristaliz (they were unable to destroy it) and then had everyone who knew of its location incinerated. It wasn’t long after the Duoc had been hidden that the Old Acirian Empire vanished, nearly overnight. With them gone, the legendary weapon was truly lost to time. 

	...Until three weeks ago, when a spike in Hawking Radiation was detected in a star cluster thirty-thousand lightyears from Earth. Such a high spike in radiation could only be caused by one thing, an artificial wormhole generator strong enough to tear spacetime into smithereens. The only known artificial wormhole generator strong enough to tear spacetime into smithereens, of course, is the legendary Duoc Pristaliz, the most powerful device ever created. 

	Now, the hunt is on. Dozens of galactic empires have now recognized the existence of this spike, and many have sent ships to the cluster to identify which of its star systems carry the legendary weapon. Any nation able to get their hands on the Duoc Pristaliz would be able to rule the galaxy unopposed, with a weapon capable of removing entire star systems from existence. You play as one of those ships. Whether you’re a soldier, a treasure-hunter, or a crook looking to hold the weapon for ransom, your job is to race to the Duoc Pristaliz. Move swiftly, trust no one, and reach galactic greatness. 

MIND GAMES: THE RACE FOR GOD'S PEN

:: Overview ::

Co-GM: Godmod, Mr Allen J
Genre: High Science-Fiction, Mild Sci-fi Satire 
Recruitment Status: Open 
Players:

Welcome to The Race for God’s Pen, a Science Fiction roleplay. As I said above, players in this roleplay will play as the captain and crew of a spaceship which is heading towards the Shia Star Cluster, a cluster of star systems approximately one light-year in diameter. One of the planets in this cluster contains the Duoc Pristaliz, but the intensity of the radiation signals is equal in intensity on four of the planets. Your characters must explore these planets and attempt to find the ancient weapon and bring it back to your race’s homeworld. 

 :: Rules :: 

1. No Godmodding, metagaming, auto-hitting, auto-dodging, Mary-Sueing, Gary-Sueing, Powerplaying, and other assorted acts of douchebaggery. 

2. Swearing, drinking, gore, and other themes of licentiousness are allowed, but don’t do anything stupid. 

3. Don’t start a flamewar or I’ll shoot you out into the inky black vacuum of space.

4. No magic. Just no. This is science-fiction, not LOTR. If you like fantasy, I’m sure that there are many excellent fantasy roleplays out there for you to join. 

5. In this rp, you make a captain, crew, and a spaceship. You may only make one captain and one ship, but you may make as many crewmates as you’d like. 

6. As far as abilities go, I want to make sure that nobody can hopelessly outgun anyone else. No impenetrable defenses and no super-weapons. If it’s stronger than, say, a nuke, I don’t want to see it. 

7. Also, no time travel. I know that time travel can be fun, but it’s also broken as all hell. 

8. Because our characters are aliens, they will probably have some supernatural abilities. The following abilities are not allowed: mind-control, anything involving life force, anything that causes instant death, powerful telepathy, anything with the prefix “omni-” at the beginning, time powers, shadow powers of any kind, probability powers, seeing the future or past, elemental manipulation, and reality warping. 

9. All of your characters must work for the same faction, i.e. if Captain Bob works for the Bulu Empire, all of his crewmates must also work for the Bulu Empire. (there can be exceptions to this rule. PM me about it) 

10. No humans. Humans are gross and ugly. 

11. I am very lenient on post length, and I prefer quality over quantity. There is no minimum sentence amount, but write enough that you live up to advanced standards.  

12. I cannot believe that I actually have to say this, but no weaponized teleportation. Teleportation in itself is not banned (though I'm not a big fan) but doing something like teleporting someone into the vacuum of space or teleporting weapons inside of a ship's shield/hull is not allowed, as there is no way to avoid that.

:: The Setting: The Shia Star Cluster ::

The Shia Star Cluster is a cluster of five star systems all within a distance of one lightyear from each other, all held together by a massive cluster of Dark matter. Four planets within the Cluster have been identified as being possible sources of the Hawking Radiation spike, but due to a considerable amount of interference, it has thus far been impossible to determine which of the four are the location of the Duoc Pristaliz.

Star System: Shia-5

Type of Star: Blue Giant
Number of Celestial Bodies in Orbit: 10 (most are gas giants) 
Number of Possible Planets: 2 

Mizria 

Diameter: 4880 Km

Circumference: 15329 Km 

Mass: 5.8 x 10^24 Kg 

Primary Composition: Osmium, Flerovium, Silicon, Sodium, Oxygen 

Core makeup: Osmium, Nickel 

Atmosphere: Oxygen: 46% Nitrogen: 41% Sulfur: 8% Water Vapor: 2% Carbon Dioxide: .5% Xenon: 1% Argon: .4% etc: 1.1% 

Average Daily Temperature: 48º C  (120º F) 

Average Nightly Temperature: 2º C (35.6º F) 

Distance From Sun: 144,744,399 Km (89,940,000 miles) 

Description: Primarily desert, the planet of Mizria is not well-known for its hospitality to life. The planet is small and dense, thanks to a core of pure osmium, and has an atmosphere with incredibly high amounts of oxygen in it. Most of the planet’s surface is covered in oceans that have a salt concentration on par with that of the Dead Sea on Earth, and most of the continents are desert lands scattered with wet and humid salt flats. Yet still, even in this harsh environment, life thrives. Due to the high concentration of oxygen, gigantic arthropod-like creatures have been able to inhabit Mizria, and they thrive under its conditions. Extremophile bacteria under the surface of its sands produce massive amounts of oxygen, causing subterranean life to flourish. Even in its dead seas, Halophile creatures live, taking in the salt and using extremophile archaea to survive. That said, Mizria is not a place for the faint of heart. Storms cross its surface constantly, vicious sandstorms that contain clouds of hot gaseous sulfur. Various vents in the crust release toxic chemicals like methane and Argon into the air, and those who are not well-prepared for such climates should prepare for the worst. 

Native People: Mizrians. There are two species of Mizrians, generally known as Alpha Mizrians and Beta Mizrians, with Alpha Mizrians being more beetle-like relatives of the Beta Mizrians. Mizrians themselves are bipedal, intelligent arthropods with compound eyes. They are remarkably hardy creatures, able to withstand incredible amounts of damage without dying. They are immune to extreme heat, extreme cold, radiation, and can even go up to 72 hours without oxygen. Their bodies are naturally insulated by compounds in their exoskeletons, making them immune to electrical shocks, and they regenerate so well that most wounds can be quickly repaired. Their lungs are miraculously immune to most aerosol toxins, and their bloodstream is filtered of toxins so well that no known poison works on them. Mizrians can go days without water and just as long without sleep. If a Mizrian finds itself in an environment where it cannot survive, it can go into stasis, a process where it can slow its metabolic function to 1/52nd of usual and effectively “power down” until conditions become more favorable. Mizrians in Stasis have been known to become lost in space for weeks and, once properly resuscitated, survive. 
	Despite their hardiness, Mizrians themselves never developed spaceflight, and everything which they know of spaceflight was learned through interacting with other races. Most interstellar Mizrians were, in fact, hitchhikers at some point in their past.

Thalon-36 

Diameter: 2,368 Km 

Circumference: 7,232 Km 

Mass: 328.5 x 10^21 Kg

Primary Composition: Iron, Silicon, Iridum, Lead, Mercury, Platinum 

Core Makeup: Platinum, Iridium 

Atmosphere: Helium: 20% Sodium: 30% Sulfur: 25% Hydrogen: 20% Carbon Monoxide: 3% Carbon dioxide: 1.5% Oxygen, etc.: 1% 

Average Daily Temperature: 500º C (932º F) 

Average Nightly Temperature: -67º C (-90º F) (Planet does not rotate) 

Distance From Sun: 54,717,696 Km  (34,000,000 miles) 

Description: Completely uninhabitable. Thalon-36 is a molten rocky planet placed far too close to its sun. The one side of the planet is covered in lakes of boiling lead, and the other is frozen solid. The planet does not spin, so one side is always night, and the other is always in darkness. The planet contains none of the essential elements for life, and is essentially worthless if it weren’t for the fact that its core is primarily made of platinum. Due to its composition, there is a lot of mining on the planet. The only signs of habitation on the entire planet is a few engineers who work at a mining facility. Besides that, the planet is barren.

Star System: Shia-6

Type of Star:Red Dwarf 
Number of Celestial Bodies: 3
Number of Possible Planets: 1 

Okara

Diameter: 25,484 Km 

Circumference: 80150 Km 

Mass: 1.194 x 10^25 Kg

Primary Composition: Oxygen, Silicon, Cobalt, Iron, Calcium, Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium 

Core Makeup: Cobalt, Iron 

Atmosphere: Nitrogen: 70% Oxygen: 25%  Hydrogen: 1% Methane: Water Vapor: 2% Carbon Dioxide: 1% Assorted gasses: 1% 

Average Daily Temperature: 21º Celsius 

Average Nightly Temperature: 19º Celsius 

Distance From Sun: 91,000,000 miles 

Description: An incredibly earthlike planet which is completely submerged in fresh water. No land protrudes from its endless oceans save a few spires of granite jutting out from underwater mountain ranges. The oceans are teeming with life, alive with thousands of different underwater creatures, some of which resemble creatures living in Earth’s oceans (such as jellyfish, sea cucumbers, coral, barrel-eyes, mosasaurs [theirs aren’t extinct], and blobfish, which it is believed were actually taken from Okara and put on Earth by an alien race as a prank on humanity). Due to the planet’s strong magnetic and gravitational pull, plus the proximity of an asteroid belt, the surface is often struck by debris, and so most creatures live deeper in the ocean. 

Native People: Diafanis. Diafanis are a race of gilled amphibious creatures which live in canyons on the Okara seafloor. They stand at about five feet tall, vaguely frog-shaped with dual-jointed legs like a frog and single-jointed arms. Their feet and hands are webbed, and their heads appear similar to a frog’s. Their eyes, however, are placed lower on the head, around where a human would have their eyes. Diafanis eyes are about the size of golf balls and glow in the dark. They are bipedal (though they need robotic supports to walk on land). Their skin is covered in stripes which are bioluminescent, allowing them to glow different patterns in the dark. This both confuses potential predators (as all they see is a bunch of crazy lines) and allows Diafanis to identify one-another.  No two Diafanis have identical stripes. The unique thing about the Diafanis is that their skin is translucent, causing their internal organs to be visible from the outside. This is due to their body’s high water volume, which allows them to live at the bottom of the ocean without being crushed by the pressure. When out of the deep, Diafanis must wear pressure suits to prevent themselves from decompressing, which would be extremely painful if not deadly. Diafanis are spacefaring, flying in spacecraft filled with water, but have not discovered FTL travel, so they are confined to their local system and other Shia systems (they’re all very close together).

 Star System: Asosa-B37

Star Type:Neutron star
Number of Celestial Bodies in Orbit: ???
Number of Possible Planets: 1

Azulu
Diameter: 5,826 km
Circumference: 18302.9 km
Mass: 6 x 10^24 kg
Primary Composition: Iron oxide, copper oxide, nickel oxide, silicone dioxide, gold, osmium, depleted uranium, a wide variety of heavy metals, calcium, magnesium, aluminum, sodium. Slag, basically.
Core makeup: Iron, osmium, carbon.
Atmosphere: Nitrogen: 61% Oxygen: 37% Other gasses: 2%
Average Daily Temperature: 40°C
Average Nightly Temperature: 30°C
Distance From Sun: 250,000,000 miles
Description: Once the dead trash receptacle of a mining operation, Azulu was composed primarily of slag and devoid of an atmosphere as it orbited around a red giant, which, a couple thousand years later went supernova, shrouding the Asosa system in a nebula of gas and making it the last place anyone would look for life of any kind. As you may or may not know, neutron stars are not very well behaved neighbors, they fire off x-rays, radio blasts and their magnetic fields are insane. They also emit very little visible light and enjoy firing off the occasional life-nuking gamma ray burst that makes sharing a system suicide. Yet, it is exactly these reasons that the colony formerly known as Utopia was put there at all. See, experimentation on sentient beings is strictly illegal. Colony crash experiments doubly so. Nebuli are very good at hiding exoplanets, neutron stars make naturally arising life sustaining exoplanets nigh impossible and said neutron star’s constant blaring of the cosmic radio makes any signs of sentient life undetectable. Criminally, it’s the perfect combo. No one’s going to know about your experiments and if they get out of hand, you get tired of them or you forget about it, the evidence will more or less self-dispose as without constant terraforming and light supplementation, the colony will die out within a few hundred years. Certainly before they’re able to achieve a type II civilization and sustain themselves. Or, at least that was Zalphar’s theory when it started the experiment. However, one of it’s more weaponized experiments (Agatha) went all terminator on it’s ass and killed everyone it had doing its bidding while it was away, stole it’s time machine when it returned and used that to steal a dyson sphere from STC, upgrading Azulu to a type II civilization with FTL capabilities.

Environmentally, Azulu quite unique. They only get six hours of sunlight, most of which isn’t visible to humans, and many of its plants and animals are suited to long periods of darkness, and most of them can harvest and/or see light higher up the visual spectrum than us humans. Aside from that, Azulu is quite flat, with the exception of a few massive gorges that serve to drain away water into underground aquifers every three months when the tide comes in. The tide, consists of a two day long rise in water level from zero to a hundred feet. Many of the plants that have been used to teraform Azulu were chosen for their resistance to extreme weather and tidal forces, many of them using it to their advantage. From space, it would look like a bulge of water traveling around the equator in sync with the moon's elliptical orbit. Approximately every three months, Azulu’s ‘moon’ Quaia, comes within the range of the planet's thick atmosphere, causing an increase in geothermal activity due to it’s mass, keeping the planet geologically and magnetically active and causing a periodic tsunami from which the city Utopia is the only thing protected, though since it’s takeover, that has begun to change as the colony has expanded and mining outposts have been set.

As you may or may not have guessed, Quaia, is actually a terraforming spaceship that constantly off-gasses the necessary atmospheric elements of Nitrogen and Oxygen, replacing that burnt off by the occasional solar flare. It is also highly reflective and serves as a kind of planetary heat lamp, especially now that it's been upgraded since the planet gained independence.

Native People: Azulians, a genetic mash-up between a wide range of different species notably including Humans and Acirians. They're made to be the perfect lab-rats, and have easily reprogrammable immune and regenerative systems, with the genes controlling traits such as blood type, neural networks, hormone levels, disease susceptibility, pathogen and toxin sensitivity, immune response and type, and aging all being easily identified and tweaked, their borrowed Acirian genetics allowing for chimeras and induced cell differentiation. Appearance wise, they're all dark skinned, either totally black or reddish brown. Females all have black hair, whereas males are almost calico. Their heads look somewhere between mammalian and reptilian, as if you took a humans head, stretched it out, increased the size of the brain case and gave it a voldemort nose and lots of pointy teeth. Other than that, they're bipedal like humans and Acirians, although their arms are longer and their legs double jointed so if they run anywhere fast, it's on all fours. Their feet are similar to those of an Acirians, in that they are prehensile in the way of a tree frog, allowing them to easily master the art of parkour. They're not extraordinarily sexually dimorphic, with a father being only slightly less likely to be the one breastfeeding than the mother, due to the fact that Azulians were designed by Acirians and Acirians don't know how gender works so gene expression of anything other than 'the essentials' and hair, strangely enough, are pretty much universal. It should also be noted that Azulians have all the same eye colors as we humans in addition to reflective yellow, which is associated with dominant Acirian traits, eg, intelligence, reckless disregard for life and safety, and a strong tendency towards sadistic behavior and psychopathy.

Here's my character sheet.

Name:  Trin Lance Shivmiista
Age: 27 
Gender: Male
Species: Fluulla
Faction: Space Pirates
Role: Co-Captain
::Appearance:: 
Height: 5 feet, 1 inch
Weight: 92 lbs
Physical Characteristics: Short, blue, slightly furry, with suspicious orange eyes, blue and turquoise head and tail hair.
Clothing: Generally wears cargo pants/shorts, and boots.
::Personality:: 
Personality: Steals space-ship parts for a living. Is a high school drop-out, and doesn't like highly educated people, because he believes they are stuck up. Introverted, but likes people, as long as they aren't stuck up, or whiny. Has an unquenchable thirst for adventure, which is why he steals space ship parts, because ' you never know the kind of people you'll meet'. Doesn't hold grudges. Thinks of himself as friends with the people he steals from, and even refers to them as 'travel buddies'. Only steals parts from battle ships or cruise ships, because they're big, and can be easily found and assisted, when they go missing. Thinks men are better than women. Is religious. Speaks with a varying speech pattern, based on the audience present. Believes capital punishment is wrong because 'everyone deserves a second chance'.  Believes that all governments steal money from their citizens to line their own pockets. Believes there would be no wars, and every one would generally get along with each other, 'if the government ceased to exist, because, the whole purpose of the government is to make rich people richer'. Doesn't pay taxes, but gives that money to homeless people, instead.
Quote: “ All those rich guys are selfish bastards who ought to go die in a hole. So, it’s my job to take all their money, and give it to those who will put it to better use.”
Backstory: : Dad was a mob boss, and mom was a junky. My mom married my dad, for the free 'candy'. When I was 2, Grandma convinced Mom to go into rehab. When Mom was no longer on the drugs, she decided she didn't like Dad, or his influence on me, so she was perpetually sending me off to stay at Grandma's house. Grandma was very religious, and didn't like the direction her daughter's life was going, so she wanted to make sure her daughter's son didn't go the same way. As a result, she was constantly taking me to church, revival meetings, and such, and eventually I decided I liked and believed the stuff I was hearing, and became devotedly religious, myself. When I was 14, Dad, who was getting older at this point, decided to teach me how to run his crime syndicate, with the result that I spent much less time with Grandma, and more time around crooks. Pretty soon, I believed my dad, when he said that the government is an evil institution designed to help the rich get richer, and education was for the rich and made you stuck up and stingy. As a result I dropped out of school at age 15. I also spent less and less time around Grandma, and moved away from the religion I'd been devoted to. At 16, in an effort to impress my dad, and his 'friends', I began stealing expensive parts from space-ships, indiscriminately.  But, when I was 17 and 1/2, I went to see Grandma, for the last time, on her deathbed, and she wanted to know what I had been doing for the past 10 months, as I hadn't seen her at all, during that time. I told her, and she was quite disappointed. She then told me that she couldn't keep me from being a petty thief, if I wanted to, but she made me promise to always go to church, no matter what, and to never steal from anyone who doesn't deserve it. And I've kept that promise, for the past 10 years, and intend to keep it, until I die. 
::Abilities:: 
Biological Adaptations: Can climb trees very well, and jump very high. Can easily do one-arm pull-ups. Can see infrared light, and all of the visible color spectrum, except dark blue, and purple.
Weaknesses: Does not do well in cold temperatures
Weapons: Robotron Combustion gun, which blows up people via converting the water contained within their bodies into it’s component parts: hydrogen and oxygen, which then, due to the heat of the initial reaction, explode, which however can only blow up body parts the size of arms and legs, per shot. A flamethrower, which operates as would be expected.
Armor: Carbon nano-tube bullet proof vest, bullet proof helmet, holocaust cloak.
Armor Weakness: Combustion, stabbing.
Other: (Anything not already in the sheet)

Bio

Name: Claymoor

Age: 28 (but that is not really relevant at all to his mental or physical state)

Gender: It’s complicated, but the term: he, is what he prefers to be referred to as.

Species: Claymoor (He is the only specimen conglomerate of his species)

Faction: Claymoor

Role: Captain, crew, cook, cleaner, and lastly, passenger.
 
::Appearance:: Whatever he feels like looking like at the given time.

Height: It’s very variable.

Weight: That depends on what he has been eating.

Physical Characteristics:
He is a amorphous being made of supercells, which are held together by prehensile cilia and can use water pressure, chromatophors and changes in cell arrangement to imitate the color, texture and general appearance of objects and beings around him. His cells can release and absorb water to change their solidity to more closely match the apparent solidity of the objects he imitates. All of his cells are 100% self-reliant (if separated they can continue to live just fine), and he can control separated cells up to 20 feet away, allowing him to break apart into multiple colonies so as to better camouflage himself in a foreign environment by imitating multiple smaller objects such as several books on a shelf. Not having a skeleton can make lifting heavy objects rather difficult, so Claymoor often has a, four armed, two legged and tailed, titanium skeleton inside him onto which cells tie their cilia to form temporary 'muscles'.

Clothing: WARNING THIS CHARACTER IS NAKED ALMOST ALL THE TIME. (But LOOKS like he is wearing clothes)
 
::Personality::
 
Personality:
Easily entertained, due to forgetting unimportant things after only 3 weeks. Dislikes staying in one place for too long, but often does not remember all the places he has been, so he frequently revisits them. Claymoor is also a prankster, and enjoys seeing people react to things. Kind of secretive about what he is, and only tells a few people. However, he often does very, well, impossible things, in public, which some people will see and figure that he is a shapeshifter.
 
Quote:
“Wow, my mind is just--” *Touches forehead with fingertips* *Head explodes with splatters of what looks like brain matter* *All ejected matter re-converges to Claymoor’s feet, and a new head reforms*

Backstory: You know that Crystalpaper stuff that started growing everywhere 22 years ago? So does Claymoor. Because Claymoor IS crystal paper...

::Abilities:: He is a shapeshifter. I will just leave it at that.

Biological Adaptations: Being composed of a couple million independently movable and modular cells, he can squeeze through spaces less than a millimeter wide (because the cells have very crumpled walls so they can stretch out or release water and compress down into a smaller orb, or a pancake), he can rearange his cells into a glider form and glide away, or he can imitate and replace parts of a car (with help from the car parts which make it functional like the axles, wheels and engine) and drive away.

Weaknesses: Fire, acid, the vacuum of space, radiation. The usual.

Weapons: Supersharp sword (Works on the principle of a molecular lattice holding sheets of graphene in a flat razor-like configuration. Also, a magnetic field pushes things around the sword, making it possible to make very deep cuts in very cohesive materials). There are a few other accessories on the sword that make it cooler, but you don't really care that much do you?

[UPDATE!]: I forgot to add by gun! It is a railgun that can fire using a magnetic system, or explosives. With multiple cartridge types and calibers, this gun is fully customizable. (Also can fire a plasma blast when in magnetic mode)

Armor: A faraday/kineticage (it just looks like a copper studded gray sphere about 2 feet in diameter). It protects from plasma, electricity, and dampens kinetic energy (bullets and stuff). He wears it on his back like a snail shell.

Armor Weakness: Massive kinetic energy. EG: a large impact.
 
Other: I doubt this sheet will go unopposed.

Name: Odonata

Length: 32' 
Width: 16' 

Appearance: Something like this, but lime green with back accents. And sharper, forget all those detail lines, and make all the edges and corners sharp. The projections in front should be thinner and more stabby looking. Here it is:

Top Speed: 583*LiV when not teleporting (This can be lowered or raised to accommodate average speed for ships, as this is supposed to be a very fast, streaker class ship.)

Weaponry: EMP generator, directional and non. Magnetic/Diamagnetic repelling/attracting device, does what it says on the tin, repels and attracts things (metals, water, etc. Magnetically neutral things go through its field unaffected.). Six rail guns with different ammo types and calibers. Every edge on the ship is supersharp, wings, nosecone, aft, etc. Also, there are 0 (non pringle) concave curves on this ship, and that, combined with the supersharp edges makes this ship very streamlined.
Dynamically. Updated. Firing. Auto-targeting. System.
(It's just a real good auto-targeting system, usually controlled by OdRIs [pronounced Audrey])

Defenses: 4.2 inches of Carbon(carbon)-Carbon-2*Carbon composite building material makes up the armor. Nearly frictionless outer hull material aids in lessening kinetic impact damage. Thruster limbs and some surfaces of the ship can bend and re-position. The Odonata's streamlined shape makes kinetic weapons significantly less effective, but striking from the side increases the chances of getting a crippling hit. Dia/Magnetic repelling device slipstreams slow moving high mass dia/magnetic objects, and can do the same for fast moving low mass objects (nothing crazy). It also screws up missile targeting (missiles can still hit it, just not too accurately).
Other Vessels: Macro, Micro, and Nano swarms. 4 Osprey mini-drones.

Weaknesses: Antimatter makes it go away, and so does a singularity, among a few other things. (These are not the only things that make it go away, just some examples. A nuke, a well aimed and magnetically neutral missile would work just as well. So would chemical weapons designed to deconstruct carbon nanotubes and graphine.
Captain: Claymoor 

Other: The Odonata also contains a small armory for Claymoor to select ammo and sidearms from. (dont worry, nothing but ammo, grenades, and a few different sidearms, like pistols, and other gadgets)

Your ship is, in the classical definition, indestructible. That's not gonna fly. 

Also, if it can travel 538 times the speed of light, how is it so small? Like, where do the engines go? 

Also, while I know how your swords work, you need to explain them still because there are other people in this rp besides you, me, and your sister.

Alright, refresh in 15 or less.
The ship is so small because the warp generator only has to make a small bubble of isolated spacetime in order to travel at warp warp, so the warp generator must only be about ye big *gestures expansively*. Besides, this is the both the future, and fiction.

Ok, done. I hope that is more reasonable. I made the armor less protective and the magnetic field less powerful.
I just want it to be known that we have magnets almost as powerful today too, and I think that magnetic field based weapons are a legitimate possibility. Maybe just as a universe update here, Magnets might just be the most effective weapon for taking down battleships, large and small.

I doubt my ship will be in a battle for too long anyways, spies don't have time for battles.

Added my main character projectile weapon, added detail.

I am in the process of writing this all out. I ended up writing a metric ton and now I have a massive wall of back story all about my characters species.

I will post it tomorrow but i'm not sure when.

Please help... my backstory... its too massive...

Trin Lance Shivmiista is accepted so long as his 'robatron combustion gun' can only explode things the size of arms and legs in one shot.

@amol_kotay: I got seven pages into plot summary for Agatha, realized I'd only covered 1\3rd of the book and ditched the idea of trying to explain things outright.

Taco, your sheets are accepted on the condition that if two objects of larger mass/greater speed and similar armorment collide with it, the ship will shatter.

Paging @Maxx, @Godmod, and @Mr Allen J

I don't know how I feel about the idea of Claymoor. It seems like he violates the rule of Powerful Telepathy, possibly Reality Warping, and he might as well have Omni-shapeshifting since it seems like he can change into any object whatsoever at any time. It feels to me like he's just some straight up terminator that can ravage everything. And being able to turn into a lamp? By that premise, he might as well just turn into God's Pen itself and kill everything. Why would he need to be a spy when it seems you've created a nearly perfect killing machine. If he can turn into anything then he can get close enough to any character that it wont matter if you can douse the whole universe in hellfire, because Claymoor will already have killed you. Why does he even need a ship, if he can just shape-shift into one? How would you even kill him, because even if you DO get a chance to crush him or launch a nuke at him, he can just turn into a gas and evade everything.

Hell, if something like Claymoor really DID exist, why don't all the factions team up to eradicate him, because he seems like the most clear threat, seeing as how he is practically a demi-god, if not God himself...

I'm not a GM, but I feel like you character is simply too op. Assuming he can turn into other inanimate objects as well as a lamp, it feels like he can just do anything and kill anyone. It's up to the GM's, but I think your character either needs greater restrictions on his capabilities, or you need a huge overhaul to his weaknesses because I'm not too keen to the idea of a nearly invincible shape-shifting terminator...

He can't turn into a lamp mechanically, he can just look like the lamp in a fashion similar to a cuttlefish looking like a hunk of coral. The cuttle fish is still a cuttlefish. Ergo, Claymoor would look like the lamp, but the lamp would be squishy and unable to function as a lamp once plugged in. He can't turn into anything, rather he can imitate it superficially as he's basically a sentient gellball. The telepathy wouldn't affect other characters, rather it would allow him to think like we would as his brain matter is spread out throughout his body with no physical connection. It's like cable versus wi-fi. As for him being a killing machine, er... No. He's composed of cell jelly. The cell jelly does not stop being jelly when it imitates metal. The consistency and make up is the same. The only thing that's changed is the color and texture externally. The worst he could do is stick to your hand and try and digest it, which wouldn't work to well because you could scrape it off before it has a chance to do anything.

He couldn't turn into a space ship, nor gas, because that would be impossible. It would require him to alter what he's made of, which like every other creature out there, is cells. Cells cannot turn into gas, a gun, a ship, metal or anything at all because that would be rediculous. They can however rearrange their configuration to look like something they're not, but that's all they'd be able to do, look like it. Not functionally become it because that would require him to cease to be composed of cells.

As for the car thing, he wouldn't literally become a car, he'd just look like one (he'd need to take wheels, axles and a few other parts from an existing car to even imitate it in the first place) but the imitation car would not be able to go as  fast as a real car and if it ran into anything it would splat like a stick of butter because it's made of cells.

@amol_kotay Yeah, I have to agree, but I believe a concrete definition of limits is required.

I do think that he needs to explain the science and limitations better, but I don't think the current version, or at least my understanding of it, is OP as it could be killed by fire, acid, pathogens, the vacuum of space, radiation and all those other wonderful life ending vices like the rest of us.
