Sci-fi Interest check OOC

Just putting this simple idea here first to check for interest in participating before I slap the juicy details on ya.

Basic plot:

Elite team of futuristic alliance soldiers sent to investigation a mining planet. The mine has missed sending its weekly shipments five times and no communication has been received for over a month. Two smaller teams of employees were sent but never returned. It is kind of a mystery sci-fi.

Choose two characters from a list of races I will provide. ( I say two because one of them will die. ) I am open to ideas and characters you have already made that might fit such a game.

More info later! I told you quick and dirty. I don't even have a real title yet

RACE DETAILS not much. just something to work with.

Humans- Have expanded their boundaries further into space with technology (of course). They have not gained any special abilities per se, but have found they are 'compatible' with minor races. You will see an example of this when I post my character.

The Korves - (singular= a Korf) Humanoid creatures that are very similar to humans with four exceptions 1. they have larger sharper teeth 2.their ears are set slightly higher on their heads. 3. they have a very fine layer of fur barely visible but feels soft to the touch and 4. they have hooves. An animistic race that believes the way you live your life determines whether or not you reach the Astral Plane, The Hall of Darkness or be reborn among the living. The first of the Superior races that humans encountered, they are the second members of the Alliance. Friendly but not compatible with any minor races.


Yuru'shay- A tall muscular race that has thick gray skin similar to elephants. They are on average a foot taller than humans. All males are bald which creates a running joke among them. They consider human males pansies because they have hair. Most human men shave their heads when they work with Yuru'shays so they don't have to put up with it and it grew into a sign of respect for them. This is a race that was at war with The Korves when humans came on the scene. A treaty was made between the three races and the alliance was formed. Tolerant but non compatible with most minor races.

Greil- A lofty race of beings of very high intelligence and highly advanced technology. They do not involve themselves in affairs of the other Superior races unless it is of great interest to them somehow, which they never reveal what that interest is.. When their hand is pushed they will fight back and have displayed such amazing power that very few have challenged them. An androgynous race of humanoids that all have black skin and long black hair. There is very little difference between males and females. Only they know. O.o All of them have white markings around their wrists and necks, it is known to be a sign of title and clan. Compatible with all minor races but it is thought that some are used in experimentation, this has not been confirmed.


Plerians - Violent cannibalistic foul creatures that often eat their enemies. What they lack in size they make for in sheer number. Their skin is translucent, like wax clinging to bones but does take on different shades of grayish white. If it weren't for their violent nature they could be considered a beautiful race. Are currently at war with all races, even vain attempts against the Griel. Are known to keep many of the minor races as slaves.


Minor races-- there are many of these. They are minor because they don't have advanced technologies, organized government, nor a military. They are also small in size and number compared to the superior races.

*snicker* All naturally bald human men would love this.

I'm very interested in hearing more! Especially about compatibilities and what the minor races may be.

Re: Sci-fi Interest check OOC

I laughed when I wrote it!

I'm actually leaving the minor races up to the whoever plays with me. I'll give an example with my character and just let everyone else create those parts if they have a 'life contract' and just add it to the mini lore.

Re: Sci-fi Interest check OOC

I do like the races I've seen, although I'm surprised at the lack of a cybernetic oriented race, quite common in modern Sci-fi, races that have replaced bodies with tech or are tech to begin with,

Got much of the history down yet?

Re: Sci-fi Interest check OOC

Well it shall just have to lack, cuz thar ain't one. Although could see a soldier having some sort of cyber limb to replace one lost in battle.
The history will be very brief. I'm not making a full scale universe. Just painting enough of a picture to do the mission.
