@Kazemitsulooks good. Not asking you to change anything, but due to his immense size, I hope you know that he's going to have a hard time moving around inside of a ship, even if it is a fancy research vessel.

accepted.

Phoenix Crew

Name: Kari (Kah-Ree) Sabaan (Say-Bahn)
Age: 82 "Earth Years", would be considered somewhere in her late mid thirties if proportional to a human's lifespan. (Human's are awfully attached to their dead homeworld, still using its system to time for measurements and all.)
Gender: Female
Height: 6'5"
Species:

Mynua

The Mynua are a native race of the planet the Human's call Hephaestus. Somewhere in between insect and human-like, the Mynua have three layers of skin. The outer layer, hard and plated, the mid layer, still rough and course, placed in areas between the plates of the outer layer so the Mynua can maneuver, and the inner layer, soft and fleshy, like a human's skin. The mid layer of skin only really applies to the center of the body, where all of the important organs are. The outer layer generates a dome over one's head, helpful against falling debris and shade from the sun. They have even created visors to further help protection against the sun.

Over time, the Mynua have developed a single system of communication spread across the planet. Over the millions of years in which the species has slowly grown and evolved, it is the culmination of many different languages that the Mynua have used.

The Mynua primarily live underground, underneath the hot surface of the planet, and where most, if not all of the water is located. While they are not barbaric, the Mynua live simple lives. While settlements have been established all over the planet, the Mynua are typically nomads, traveling from one settlement to the next. Settlements had leaders, as groups always did, and people played their parts with subjects they were best in. Everyone had a place to do something, no matter how ordinary or strange it may be. There was always a reason, even if it could not yet be understood. They trade and offer wisdom from other settlements, keeping everyone connected in a more analogue way than what can be accomplished with their technological advancements before the Human's came.

Once the Humans arrived, it took a little for peace to be cemented between the two species. The Mynua firmly believed that there were beings further than what they could see, as well as believing in a pantheon of creators. Once communication was established between the two on a level that they could both understand, the Mynua allowed them to travel the surface. They did not take too kindly to having their planet being mined out, but allowed in on the conditions that the Mynua would be overseeing the operations, and change things as they needed to be changed. After a little compromise, things were easy between the two, even if they were not the best of friends with one another.

The Mynua, like humans, use sirnames, but only in application to their settlement/clan/grouping. This means that their sirname can change more than once throughout their life. Those who do not live under a clan or grouping are known as "Kasha". This is both a grouping term for those on their own, and used is as any other sirname would be used.

Role: Geologist.
Affiliation: The Mynua species, Acionna Expedition
Relationship Status: Single
Appearance:
Facts/Backstory: Kari grew up in the Sabaan settlement, in the northern part of the planet. The settlement itself was deeper underground than most, and was probably just as hot as the surface above. That was just how Kari liked it, though. She enjoyed spending hours looking at all of the different creatures and rocks around and above her, Not to mention her mother and father were not too keen on letting her up on the surface to talk to the Humans.
As she grew older, she wandered further and further upwards, eventually finding the surface and the Humans that lived there. She talked to them. Her settlement was one of the last to not have direct contact with the Humans. She supposed it made sense. They weren't too keen on outsiders in the first place, and even if they were from beyond the surface, they would not always be welcomed with open arms. However, she took this chance to learn more about them.
Time passed and she had eventually gotten the leader of her settlement, her own father, to talk directly with the humans. She didn't want to stop there, though. She wanted to prove that these outsiders were friendly, and could be trusted. It was about that time that she started looking for ways to push relations even further, by joining Human organizations.
She went to the stars, learning about all of the other races she knew so very little about, and knew that this was her place. She belonged in the Final Frontier.
Fact - Kari cannot whistle. Almost everyone else she knows can, but she has never been able to, no matter how hard she tried.
Weapons: Tool Kit - Though the Mynua have strong claws for piercing rocks, there are a few things that she needs to help with her studies and finds. Dusts, pics of various materials for different uses, and small containers for storing delicate items in.
Visor and Interface - Because of her lack of hands, using tools and computers can be quite difficult for any Mynua. However, a joint project between Humans and the Mynua have allowed them to better access everything that a human can. The visor now serves as a Heads-Up-Display, in addition to just protection from the sun, and small sensors have been place within the organic armor to allow Kari to use electronic devices, such as computers, vehicles, and other tools, while just moving her body and extra appendages to control them. This makes physical contact with devices obsolete, and very helpful to the Mynua in general.

Skills: Bilingual - Kari is fluent in both Mynuan and the Earth English, and can translate between the two rather easily. Though sometimes she can become distracted and overwhelmed, using the other language when it has no place in the particular area.
Geology - She had taken up the study of the ground underneath and above her when she was very little, having loved all of the different types of minerals and rocks around her. Humans had a refined section of study based on that of just rocks, and Kari fell in love. Her species has no official "degrees" or learning, but she has spent decades of her life learning about geology, Kari herself believing that she has a mastery over the subject.

Dear valued associate,

You've been selected to join the crew of research vessel the ETU Phoenix! We here at Stratobask Industries cannot wait to get you on the frontier and assist you in learning everything you can about what has yet to be explored.

Attached is a boarding pass to New Rhodes, Calitica, Earth, as well as everything you'll need to get started at the Stratobask Headquarters. Once you arrive at the headquarters, you will be escorted to the Frontier wing. There you will meet the rest of your crewmates, be briefed on your mission, and be sent on your way!

We hope to see you soon,
Stratobask Industires

You may have been riding on this letter arriving to be your chance to leave, or maybe you applied on a whim. In any case, when you recieve the paper letter, you can't contain your excitement. As quick as you can, you follow the directions given to you, head to New Rhodes on planet Earth, and ship off in a top of the line Extended Travel Unit, the Phoenix.

The ETU Phoenix was designed for such a dangerous mission. Made to accomodate all of the known species, the Phoenix is large, but sleek, filled to the brim with all the bells and whistles that researchers and scientists would kill for.

Or maybe you're a part of the security detail? Worry not. The Phoenix is equipped with multitudes of non-lethal tools for you to use while keeping the peace and keeping people safe.

Maybe you're an adventurer. Maybe you wanted to leave your life or normalcy and go to the edge, wandering about to find a new place in life. The Phoenix is here for you too. While you will be serving the research teams and keeping them safe as they discover the depths of space, you will have time to establish yourself in your newfound life.

Stratobask Industries has a place for everyone, and they can't wait to see what you bring back.

Rules:
1. Romance is acceptable, but please keep it appropriate. If clothes start flying, you will be asked to stop or move it somewhere else.
2. This PR is exploration based, and people who are knowledgeable in multiple fields are more valuable to the company than those who are not. However, no one character can do everything. You might be the best and brightest, but everyone has their limits and circles.
3. Characters may come from one of 4 planets; Earth, Rhea, Hephaestus and Kepler-17x
4. Kinda goes along with number 2 but no marysue/garystus, seriously.
6. No godmodding, I don’t think I need to explain this one.
8. Any questions can be answered by myself or your fellow players.
9. Most important rule ever! Have fun!

All pertinent info is here:

Rhea

Rhea:
-First planet largely colonized by humans after the failure of their solar system.
-Densely populated by rainforests with most of the planet’s water below the surface, the rest is in the form of rivers and similar water ways.
-Cities are made of a hybrid, eco-friendly material and are mostly concealed by the canopy, only a few buildings tower over the trees.
-Central planet within the United Earth Coalition, a.k.a. This is where all of the important decisions are made.

Hephaestus

Hephaestus:

-Mining planet that was colonized after Rhea.
-Closer to the sun and has higher temperatures but life still exists in the form of mostly rodents and insects, there is only water below the surface.
-There is constant daylight until an annular solar eclipse drenches the planet in darkness for an entire week, causing temperatures to plummet to near subzero temperatures.
-The inhabitants are a bit wary of new visitors since it’s rare for new people to arrive.

Gliese 224

Gliese 224:

Hot, almost Tropical climate
Covered in large islands and few Continents
Continents lush with Vegetation and sparse desert area’s
Mostly reptilian and avian species, mimicking the early stages of Earth Life.
Very few species exported offworld as exotic pets and even a military project.
Colonization attempted twice, both attempts resulted in a 90 to 97% casualty rate

Gliese 224a

Gliese 224a:

The first moon of Gliese 224
Similar in appearance to Mars, almost no bacterial life supported on the surface. Worm like creatures and small insect organisms live below the surface, living in underground caverns where water is present.
Colonization not started due to hostile temperatures

Gliese 224b

Gliese 224b:

Last of Gliese 224’s moons
Similar to Gliese 224a, no life due to higher temperature making it impossible for survival.
Very little, to no water reserves underground.
Colonization never attempted

Kepler-17x

Kepler-17x

Although similar to Earth, Kepler-17x has day and night cycles that last a standard week, varying month to month by a day to three days in Winter months.
Polar ice caps fully formed, helping fuel nearby habitable planets that have low water content.
Native species mostly herbivorous with few predators, the result of a disease outbreak brought to the planet by the first Humans who colonized the planet
Now a fully functioning society, a large walled city the center of the minor Government stationed there, acting as a liaison to other sections of Minor Government

Kepler-17y

Kepler-17y
Moon to Kepler-17x
Lifeless surface, coated in layers of ice with rock and dust hidden beneath those layers
Several bases established as Observatories and Communication relays

Preston chuckled. Oscar was assuming that he would be on earth at all times. Through the interviews Preston had taken as his Alias Emerald Knight, he had dropped plenty of hints to aliens existing and himself being able to leave the earth to do other things, but he made sure that he wasn't the one to break the glass ceiling. "Yeah. I just hope it works out for the best." Now it was just time to stir the pot a little more and put the lid on it.

He had no idea what him coming out what cause. He knew that his goal was a little selfish, but he wanted to be an example. Heroes needed to be trusted, needed transparency. If he stepped up to the plate and came clean, he hoped that would result in the general populace trusting him more. He wanted to start to try and unite earth like some of the other civilizations he had seen, but he didn't want to lead. He wanted to make that sort of goal more feasible for other people.

"That's, uh... That's kind of why I called." He pulled on the collar of his shirt. Stir the broth, add a little pepper. Make sure the steak cutlets were properly prepared. "You see. You aren't going to be the only person to know." He took a breath. Only one other person knew his secret identity as the hero of Coast City. Tony was busy getting his life together.

Turn down the heat, chop the carrots, into the broth. "I've got this plan. I've been trying to make myself a presence worldwide. Making sure everyone knows who the Emerald Knight is. Maybe not loved and praised, but at the very least known." Broccoli too, that goes in there as well. Clean up the cutting board. "I'm going to reveal my identity to the world. I'm going to come clean. I can't tell you the whole scope of the plan, but that's the first step. Most of it depends on how well the people handle it."

Coast City, USA

After Preston hung up, he didn't do a whole lot. His work day at the lab was over, and he was just relaxing at home, preparing himself some dinner for the evening.

His phone buzzed. Preston, by the stove, mixing something into a pot, looked over to see the caller ID. The time between him seeing the number and him picking up the phone was a good second. He couldn't let his stew be unobserved.

With a brief moment to himself, he answered the call and put it on speaker phone. It was better for everyone this way.

"Uh, hey?" Preston wasn't quite sure what to say, since he hadn't actually spoken to the man in about a year. "I'm sure you have some questions, so I'll just let you fire away, and I'll answer to the best of my abilities, alright?" He left his phone on the counter and continued to prepare his dinner. his TV was off, and the only other thing making noise was his stove, boiling the broth and the contents of the pot while he talked to Oscar.
