Welcome to the world of Gaia. A quite peaceful world inhabited by many races. Currently, the only conflicts that can be found in Gaia are when adventurers explore the many caves and ruins of the world. They are called 'dungeons' and they are filled with fearsome monsters but also with grand treasure that is surely to secure one's future.
However, one day something came down to Gaia. Something not even the century-old Angels or Elves had ever saw. Something that was to mark itself in the history of Gaia for all of eternity.

Wars had been fought between all the races before but now, they are but a fleeting memory. All the races and countries of Gaia are now in peace with each other and now focused in exploration, especially the dangerous and uncharted 'dungeons' of the world which, as a few adventurers have proven, house many secrets and artifacts.
Because of the above, being an adventurer has now become the most famous job in Gaia as well as the jobs that compliment it like blacksmiths that make weapons and alchemists that make potions. However, jobs like farming and joining the army are still strong since people need to eat and be secure.
Exploring alone isn't recommended so adventurers form parties (composed by RPG classes like: Warriors, Mages, Thieves, etc.). They are usually multi-racial since each race are kind of specialized in one class that is vital for the success of the party. Of course, just because your of one race doesn't mean you should be in the class your race is specialized in.
The races include the Elves, the Animalias (people with animal features. Includes Harpies and Lamias), the Mer (sea creature people), the Angels (winged humanoids. Priests and priestesses of Gaia), the Demons (winged humanoids. Not evil but mischievous) and lastly, the Humans (minor race and few in number).

It is the year 2070 and the Earth, while not united, has entered a Renaissance-like period with science and exploration being the main topic. Humanity has then focused much of its efforts towards the exploration of the stars to search for... well, anything. Though one goal is to search for a peaceful solution for overpopulation.
The mission of the USS Gagarin, one of the many vessels of humanity in space, is one of research and discovery. She and her crew explore the far reaches of the United Earth Federation, in order to further the knowledge of mankind and to search for other terraformable planets. (The only planet successfully terraformed is Mars)
However, an error occurred in the hyperdrive and the ship suffered critical systems failure while on a trip back from an unsuccessful search thus it was thrown to an unknown part of the universe and forced to crash land into a habitable planet like Earth but slightly larger in size orbiting a Sun-like star. What awaits the crew here is beyond anything they expected.
You will take on the role of one of these crewmen, either being part of the Security & Tactical Department, Science & Medical Department, or Engineering & Operations Department.

The world is also kind of incomplete so I'd appreciate any worldbuilding material.
I'll post in the OOC the complete stuff when enough people show interest.
