Author Topic: OUTER RIM - dead until the 5th  (Read 19318 times)

Can I make a new race for my character or does it have to be one of the existing races?
does not have to be existing races.

also does not necessarily have to be humanoid, but please scale it accordingly. it wouldn't do to have a 5m tall insect in a ship for diplomatic purposes

I want to make a character but I have no ideas as to what to make.

Give me some ideas.

I want to make a character but I have no ideas as to what to make.

Give me some ideas.
assassin
retired trader
engineer
mad scientist
expendable grunt
captain sebstain mace
iconians
illuminati
captain of the torium


seriously there are so many ideas out there. they don't have to be humanoid, and they don't necessarily have to follow the example sprite's size/layout; they just have to be scaled with them. there is no problem with repeat role characters; we'll probably need diplomats of different backgrounds, and replacement grunts when some die.

Note: These are all the same race, which is an amphibious-type race

Trent "Stride" Connoval

Grew up an orphan. He decided to join the Respite's crew in hope that he might get more or less respect; he was treated like he didn't exist. He excelled and believed in accuracy and lightweight objects. He did not believe in spraying and praying, and was more attached to pistols than heavier guns.
He is frequently ready; he seldom got anything to do in his earlier days, and adapted to the situation.

He is inexperienced in giving orders, but is able to follow them. In addition, he insists on letting other people go ahead for him. That's not a sign to say he's a goddamn wuss, though. He's simply optimistic and wanting to know when's the right time for him to shoot the forget out of people.
accepted but i'm gonna tone down the suit's red and blue a tad
also what weapon is that; is it just a custom pistol or something else


Name: Evari Silvanathan

accepted.


Name: Mark Barrette
Age: 22
Backstory: Mark is the second child of a criminal. His father was killed by a pirate and was raised by his mother. During adolescence, he was known for loudness, tendency to brag, and he was guilty of assault on multiple occasions. He is illiterate and resorts to a life of crime like his father.

Veronica Anellity III

Raised as a privileged daughter of an esteemed diplomat. She went to college to better understand the universes diverse selection of races, and calls herself an expert on the subject. She has been described, however, as insufferable, pretentious, unbearable, and the most common, a cunt. No one enjoys her company but her proficiency in her studies still proves to be very useful.

(This is a race, not a character)

Different Cyllene

Name: Cyllene

The Cyllene are a race of amphibious humanoid creatures that live deep within dangerous asteroid belts that most pilots would call Self Delete to try to maneuver through. They have no bones, but instead hard and rough skin, with some thin pieces of exoskeleton scattered around their bodies and a long, thick exoskeleton on their back protecting the place where their non-existent spine is located. Because their first home was an asteroid belt, they are still very new to FTL travel due to the fact they did not need to travel far to get to another asteroid. They were minimally damaged by the Eldritch during the Shattering because they were deep in the Asteroid field, where barely anything would expect a colony to live and thrive in. Their economy relies on Manufacturing, Mining, Trading, and general industry. Illegally mining in a Cyllene asteroid field will anger the Cyllene and they will most likely send frigates to deal with the tresspassers.
They are skilled in Engineering, Piloting, and Pyrotechnics (explosions/fire)

The Cyllene Military uses Helical Railguns (combination of railgun and coilgun) and Scram Cannons as their primary weaponry, but they have easy access to asteroids, which puts them high on the list of dangerous races in the galaxy. (they have the ability to ram asteroids into planets)

Ships are in order from top to bottom (the closer they are to the bottom, the more rare it is to see the ship)


Trading Vessels are among the most commonly seen Cyllene ships, they handle business and find good places to sell/trade things, though they don't carry things to trade. 4 Weapons, 2 Armor, 15 HP

Freighter ships carry freight (as the name implies) and sell things after Trading ships have found a place to do business at, they are usually escorted by 2 - 5 Guard ships, and carry very valuable loot depending on how many guards are escorting it. Attacking one will cause Cyllene military ships to jump in as soon as possible. 0 Weapons, 5 Armor, 18 HP.

Gaurd ships can usually be found escorting freighter ships, they have 4 Weapons, 2 Armor, and 7 HP.

Patrol ships, well, patrol the area, they are usually found patrolling Cyllene territory, if a patrol ship sees a trespasser, they alert the Cyllene empire then ask the trespasser trespassing things and request to put a tracker on their ship. 4 Weapons, 6 Armor, 12 HP

Scouts are light and unmanned scouting/scavenging ships, they usually travel in packs of 3-7. They have 2 Weapons, 6 Armor, and 2 HP

Exploration ships are used for exploring an asteroid field or anything that has interested the Cyllene after scouts have found it. 6 Weapons, 10 Armor, 15 HP

Frigates make up most of the Cyllene military, with 6 Weapons, 8 Armor, and 13 HP.

Destroyers are called in only on desire situations and during a full-on war, they have 8 Weapons, 10 Armor, and 17 HP

Carriers are only used during full-on wars between the Cyllene and another empire, They can deploy 4 squads of fighters and have 2 Weapons, 12 Armor, and 20 HP, they rely on the fighters to be their defense and offense, and without them they will retreat.

To get a battleship on your tail you've got to be like the biggest, baddest, pirate around, these are seen in full-on war with a whopping 11 Weapons, 12 Armor, and 26 HP.



Name: Leah Armit

Characteristics: A gifted doctor and intelligent woman, Leah is slim and can fire a gun, she's not brilliant in a fight though. Generally up-beat and cheerful she has a lot of self confidence and is a friendly person. Although when it comes to an injured patient she becomes serious and can snap at people if they don't do as they are told.

Backstory: Leah grew up one of the two daughters of a rich family. Both of her parents were surgeons, and encouraged their daughters to head down the same path as them, when they were old enough their parents payed for their education at one of the best universities available. Leah enjoyed medicine but didn't want to spend her life in a hospital/surgery, she wanted to travel. Leah decided to drop out of her main surgery course and trained to become a field medic, upon completing this course she decided to join the crew of the Respite and fulfill her dream of adventure.

Age: 26

Feel free to change the sprite a bit, i've never really been good at those.

-snip-
pretty very nice but the battleship is UP. i'll edit the specs a bit.
