*Breaks into the OOC*

Hello there everyone. Don't really know how to start this post, a type of stage fright I suppose you can chalk it up to. Been a while since I've been back on this site officially speaking, and for quite some time I was content with observing some RPs here from the shadows reading for my amusement. Was planning to break out of my rust by making a simple RP of my own, still do, but I came across this RP, humored myself with reading through the IC, and I gotta say...I'm loving the characters so far.

So much so, that I want in. I'm currently in a state of temporary incapacitation without my computer, (currently using a Wii U to type this.) so until that's fixed, (which it's currently in the process of) I can't promise the best quality of my posts, but I will try regardless if you let me.

But before that, I have two questions for the GM, [@kiwiwiwi] 

1. ...Does humanoid reptilians and/or echidnas count as Alori? (Kind of rhetorical, but I wish to know for the sake of clarification/confirmation.)

2. ...I know I might be asking for a bit much here, so I understand if you say no. But I have a crew of Space Pirates already made and awaiting use from my character arsenal...Would it be alright if I bring them into this as a kind of "Rival" for the main cast? Also, while I'm at it, I may as well also ask if I can bring in/make character outside of said main cast.

Oh, and one more question regarding robots. I noticed in Kant's CS the mention of his Robotc sentience being the first. Might have misread it, but I was also think of a robot with a sentient AI and wondering if that's possible.

Thank you for your time. ^^
