Zeroth
The current year is 2525. About a hundred years ago, the humans of Earth almost destroyed themselves with constant war over resources, poisoning their very world. The fighting only stopped when visiters from beyond the stars revealed themselves to the humans; they called themselves the Sect. Emergency cease fires followed by UN meetings brought the violence to a screeching halt to decide how humanity as a whole would meet these newcomers. Before they could reach a decision, the alien race made contact, proclaiming they would allow some of the Earth’s popoulation to board their ships and make a new life in the stars. The world leaders decided to take the offer as opposed to total annihilation. The visitors allowed the humans to pick for themselves who would live and board their vessel and who would be left to die.

The process of deciding took months on the part of the world leaders. They chose themselves and their kind, the Earth’s top percentage of citizens. They boarded the vessel to be whisked away from their doomed world, but as the vessel took off, it was destroyed by the aliens. They spoke once more to the remaining humans, explaining that they had known what the decision would be and instead chose to destroy the selfish humans and allow the wouldbe doomed to board their vessels and leave the doomed planet behind.

After rescuing the humans from their dying world, the aliens helped them to settle on Mars. From there, humanity used their second chance at life to spread out amongst the stars and have become a normal part of life in the vast reaches of space, bringing new cultures and ideas to the Universe. They have since been inducted into the Intergalactic Federation of Unity, an organization similar to the antiquitted UN of Earth, which has been converted into a galactic junk yard. The IFU does their best to keep peace between the various races of the Universe, but there has been a split since humanity has joined. Some races don’t thinnk the humans deserve to be a part of the IFU since they came so close to destroying themselves and their own world and believe they are a poison.

This divide has sparked a war among the stars. Our tale, however, has little to do with the war directly and instead focuses on the Average Joe of the Verse. This story is about a ragtag group of individuals who just try to make ends meet and survive off of a mix of their own skills and dumbluck.

@Dbird2, no problem. I reviewed. I added a gear secrion to the sheet. Just go add this, and Ed will be approved.

@Holy Soldier, interesting. Does he fish for space fish or fish on various worlds? Or both?

Also, a note to everyone: If you have ideas for races or worlds besides your character's feel more than free to submit them to me. I will be working on a foem for races and worlds soon.

@Ink Blood

Made my way here through the int check where I've been lurking, definitely a very interesting concept.

Not sure what kind of vibe you're going for with the aliens and galactic community, but I'm guessing our group would more so be sticking to the 'outer rim' kinda areas which have a much less 'unified benevolent rulership' kinda thing going on with the looming threat of war?

Depending on the mix of characters would be interested in making some kind of reptilian race - or if there's lots of aliens then a little ol human of some kind. Will see how things come and decide, unless there was any specific you're looking for at the moment?

@Virgil, looks good. Just fill out the Race Application, and you're good to go.

@Dbird2, looks good. Is Pegasus the name of the planet Ed is from or just the mining colony?

Edit: I added in an alignment and lifespan part to the race application.

@Ink blood How many of those Race Applications are we allowed to fill out, 2-4?

Edit: Nevermind, I think I've gotten the hang of it -- all in one post?

Right, @Ink Blood, there's the "Race Ideas" post is ready for review -- if I need to change or further detail anything, just holler.

Also, @Dbird2, what do you mean?

@Ink BloodHe is nomadic and goes where there is a creature to be caught. Some creatures swim through space and he'll park on an asteroid to catch it or even use a comet to help him chase it down and reel it in. His lure is his primary weapon called "The Allure." His secondary would be his sidearm. :)

I will work more on it when I get the chance. Work keeps me busy. I tend to have more freedom on the weekend.
