[Aye]

Name: Aye
Gender: Male
Color: Aqua
Race: Unknown
Age: Unknown, but appears to be young adult
Class: Engineer
Height: 5'4"
Fur: Faded Sky Blue
Eye: Deep Blue

Appearance:

Aye is what can only be described as a Cat-Person. His is proportioned like a lean, human male. His fingers and toes are tipped with sharp, retractable claws and he has a tail which, when laying straight, extends down to barely touch the floor. His head is where the most dramatic differences are found. Unlike a normal human, Aye has large eyes, slitted like a cat's. Where his nose would normally be, there is a short muzzle and his mouth extends forward and is lined with sharp, pointed teeth. His head is adorned with two large, pointed ears and proportional to that of a cats, about the size of his fanned hands.

Biography:

Life has never shined on Aye. As long as he can remember, he has been different, the only one like him. His childhood has become a blur to him but of what he can remember, he has always been alone and homeless on the streets. He has always survived by stealing what food he needs and moving quickly from community to community, out-skirting the law. He's always managed to escape the authorities and when the pressure of the law grows too high, Aye takes to stowing away on passing space ships.

Without parents, Aye taught himself to speak by listening to passer-bys. He hasn't gotten it down very well though. He's also working on learning how to read, but he still has much to learn. The only clue he has to his past is a tattoo under his fur on his right shoulder. It simply says, A.E. or "Aye" as he pronounces it.

Abilities:

Aye lacks normal social skills and knowledge. Living on the streets, he had no formal schooling or training but has extensive street-smarts. He's become incredibly sneaky and deceptive to get what he needs and is also a very capable combatant when backed into a corner. He doesn't hesitate to claw and bite and his strength and speed is deceptively high for a creature his size. He's also prone to bursts of super-human strength and quickness, but these often leave him winded.

Also, as part of his passing knowledge, Aye has developed an uncanny ability for engineering and repair. Although his methods appear slap-dash, often including parts and materials that are entirely misappropriated (such as using a metal wrench to close a circuit), they consistently work and he's been known to do MacGyver-like miracles when he has no proper tools.

Additional:

Aye has powerful instincts that sometimes affect his behavior. He may be seen darting about the room, pausing to look around and then darting off again for absolutely no reason. He also hates bathing and insists on cleaning himself with his tongue.

Additional Additional:

A group of highly-trained, highly-specialized, professional bounty hunters seem to be on the hunt for Aye. Their motivations and intentions are unknown.

[Kaikoura]

Name: Kaikoura (Kai)
Age: 14
Race: Rai’ku
Class: Slave
Skin: Light blue with green bands
Eyes: blue
Gender: Female
Height: 5’2”
Color= Light Blue

Appearance:



Kaikoura’s skin is light blue with green bands on her Ka-nai, Anai, and going down her back. She has the normal Rai’ku restraint device on her head, marking her as a slave, but hers is cracked, which allows her to use a small amount of her telekinesis. She is usually dressed in a dirty purple one-piece skirt and wrapped in a long shawl. Though she hates her Anai, it is usually wrapped in a traditional Rai’ku fashion, though with ribbon instead of leather. She is most often barefoot, but does have one pair of high-heeled dress shoes for when she was with Gartik.

A Brief History:

Being a Rai’ku (Rr-eye khu), Kaikoura was born into slavery. Her entire race was conquered generations earlier by the Guun (G-yuu-n), a species which inhabited the moon of Natai, the Rai’ku home planet. Despite the Rai’ku’s telekinetic abilities, the Guun -who had been in a constant state of war over the limited amount of space, defeated them easily.
Shortly afterwards, the Guun began to multiply rapidly, slowly turning the planet into a dead husk. It was only after integrating some of the more advanced Rai’ku technology into their own that they were able to break free of their own system and eventually join the intergalactic community.
Even though slavery is generally frowned upon by other races, Natai’s location on the outer rim -and subsequent connections to illegal factions keeps the issue from being pressed too much. As a result, the Rai’ku are regarded as a second-class race, and are illegally traded as slaves on many worlds.

Kaikoura’s bio:

Kaikoura was the personal slave to Gartik, a Guun slaver who’s shady business deals put him and his Rai’ku entourage on the Jachrid station often. Kaikoura has an abnormally long Anai which gives her particularly strong telekinetic/telepathic abilities which Gartik found this useful in his business. That is, until Kaikoura’s abilities were pushed too long and her restraining helmet cracked, allowing her to escape. She lives now somewhere on the station, usually stealing food or anything she can sell to survive.
Kaikoura -as with all her race- have been raised to believe they are inferior to all others, and so always wears a long dirty shawl to hide her face and rarely speaks unless spoken to. She also goes out of her way to hide her Anai, when possible. However, given it’s impressive length of nearly 5 feet it is understandably difficult.
Though quiet and though she has no formal education, Kaikoura is fairly intelligent and exceptionally street-wise, thanks to the amount of time spent with Gartik. She’s even tempered but most folks would say “she seems sad”, she’s also extremely self conscious about her status, as well as her Anai, and will often withdraw immediately if she thinks her place is in question. However, she does have a strong sense of self, in that she believes that she is equal to anyone else, but she accepts that others do not.

Additional:

Kaikoura’s family has been owned for several generations by a particularly nasty Guun family called Gartik, and Kaikoura used to be his personal servant until she escaped.

The Guun regard thier family name with more importance, therefore it is regarded as thier proper name. Each Guun has a sur-name to differentiate themselves, but it is almost never used. If it is, it is spoken after the family name, and never by itself. Rai'ku on the other hand only have a first name, though it too, is seldom used unless there are a group of them together, and only then if the person saying it is friendly towards them.

All Rai’ku wear a metal ‘helmet’ which mostly retards their telekinesis. It can be disabled by the Guun master for times when he wishes to use the Rai’ku’s abilities (construction, mind manipulation, etc.) and because each generation is raised to believe that their abilities won’t work on the Guun, there is little chance of a Rai’ku turning on his or her master. The helmet is attached at birth, and wired in two places into the brain. As a result, they are nearly impossible to remove without killing the slave.

Also, when a Rai'ku's helmet is disabled, they can 'feel' those around them. Rai'ku always feel vulnerable when they cannot feel those around them, this is more pronounced in free Rai'ku and Rai'ku children. The ability is directly proportional to the length of the Anai.

All Rai’ku have a long tendril on the back of their heads called an Anai, and most have at least two additional Ka-nai on their heads. The Anai is believed to be the source of a Rai’ku’s telekinetic abilities, and before the conquest, they were regarded with great reverence. In later days, the opposite is true, and Kaikoura who’s Anai is especially long is seen as a genetic defect. In the last 200 years, it has become VERY rare to see a Rai’ku with a Anai longer than one foot.

Kaikoura is illiterate, but thanks to her telepathic abilities can speak any language.

[Taeg]

Name: Drask Taegan (Tay-Gon)
Goes by: Teag
Color: black
Age: 36
Height: 2'8"
Race: Ghin'Par
Skin: Light Grey with Charcoal Grey spots that run in a line down
his body. starting at his gills.
Eyes: Florescent Green
Gender: Male
Other: Has a short beard so people wouldn't confuse him for a child. He is also Insane. Usually talking to himself, sometimes referring to himself in third person. Seeing things that are not there. And he also has a decided lack of tact. Many think that is do to his illness.

Brief History:

Drask Taegon is known around his home sector for being the worst gambler ever. There aren't many bookies that he doesn't owe money too. One bookie, La'ede Griswalt, even attempted to kill him by stranding him on a deserted planet. Which most feel is the cause for his current mental condition.

No one really knows how he got off the planet, and when ever they would ask him, he would give them several different stories. Usually mixed together, so is was intelligible garbage.

When Griswalt discovered that his attempt to kill Taegon had failed, he put a bounty out for him. Narrowly escaping with his life, Taegon fled the sector and now hides at any outlying planet or space station he can. Especially if there is gambling there.

Other things of note:

Taeg has a set of lungs and gills, allowing him to breathe on land, and in water. the gills are located right behind his ears and move down the neck. stopping where the spots begin. the spots are used for photosynthesis, allowing Ghin'par to go without food for a period of time. (assuming they are in sun light.) the spots start at the neck, and move down the body in a straight line, even going down the arms and legs.

Ghin'par are very short, most being around 2 feet. Any Ghin'par over 2'5" is considered tall. They are properly proportioned, (looking just like small children) besides their arms being slightly long. hanging down to just above the knee.

[Rink]

Name: Rink
Age: 32
Race: Human
Class: Freelancer
Eyes: Green
Hair: Dark Brown
Height: 5'10"
Color: Light Green

Rink's Biography:
Rink never knew his family as he was raised in an orphanage (also why he has no last name). He lived on an Earth colony for most of his life until he joined the local system police. He worked his way up the ladder until he was the youngest ever to join the Agency, one of the most prestigious law enforcement agencies.

Now that he was dealing the worst criminals the galaxy had to offer, his life expectancy dropped. He was lucky by only managing several prominent scars on his face and body, resulting in his gruff appearance. He was not lucky to continue his profession. During one investigation, there was an accident that left numerous innocents dead, a huge amount of money and the culprit Aku vanished, and a great deal of embarrassment for the Agency. Needless to say, he was dishonorably discharged and his prospects of being hired by any law enforcement were bleak.

Since then he has been working freelance, taking any job that will earn him an income and bread on the table. His time has been spent working as a private eye, bounty hunter, and delivery man.


Additional Information:
Humans are fairly uncommon away from Earth and its colonies. But Rink is rare because of his quirks. Due to his circumstances early in life, he has become curious about Earth of the past, learning what he can in order to connect to a time long past. Because of this oddity, he collects Earth antiques, his favorite being an old portable television he uses to watch news and entertainment shows.

Other items he's been seen using are an old blender (delicious strawberry banana milkshakes are his favorite), an ink pen (with paper!), a telephone (no answer...), and a computer (displayed in monochrome, until it sputtered and promptly died). All of these devices are long outdated, and people tend to stare and give quizzical looks when they see Rink use them.

Information Regarding Blackouts/Memories:
In more recent posts, Rink blacks out and has out of body experiences. These are actually memories into his past, which reveal a more sordid past than I gave earlier. However, the main reason for these flashbacks is to address a mistake I made about the timeline when I first posted, when I thought NCEXU took place in the distant future. I haven't fully formed the reason for circumventing this discrepancy, but please note that time travel may be one possible explanation.

[TKC]

Name: TKC
Age: Unknown
Race: Psychic shifter
Physical Appearance: Varies wildly
Color: Purple

Description: TKC is a psychic shape shifter, meaning that when it changes shape, its mind changes as well. TKC's mind reflects the form it assumes, and the longer spent in a form the more its mind changes to reflect its form. So in an animal form its mind slowly grows more and more animalistic, while in an inanimate form its intelligence decreases over time. As such, TKC usually stays in intelligent forms, with a preference for female.

History: TKC was discovered on a small asteroid by a group of miners. At first mistaken for a simple organism, as TKC was little more than a purplish blob at the time, one of the miners took a shine to TKC, and kept it as a pet. Under the miner's care TKC slowly grew in ability and intelligence, developing the ability to shift between various small animal forms, and eventually learning to parrot some speech.

One day, while the miners were taking a break at a station, TKC caught the eye of a scientist, and after some bartering with her owner, it was purchased for a rather nice sum. Though TKC was sad to see a familiar face go, it soon enough came to enjoy the time with the scientist.

Under the scientist's watchful eye and guidance, TKC slowly grew and transformed into more and more advanced forms. Unaccounted for by the scientist though was the psychic effect of these forms, and TKC slowly grew more and more intelligent. With the intelligence came independence and desires, including the desire to explore freely. As the scientist had not expected such growth from TKC, it was easy enough for it to escape, and with its shifting abilities TKC was able to easily escape into society. And so TKC is now loose in a world it barely understands, with a childlike curiosity for everything it finds.

[Aye]

Name: GIB
Position: Ship's Interactive Intelligence
Color: White

GIB is effectively an NPC. Anyone can post for GIB.

GIB is a Gestalt Intelligent Being. It is a being based on the principal that the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts. Physically, GIB is a mossy growth that is spread throughout the entirety of the ship just underneath the metal paneling. Mentally, GIB is the combination of every individual on-board. GIB feeds off the brain-waves of all passengers and utilizes those brain waves to compile it's own thinking, meaning the more people alive on-board, the more intelligent it becomes. It also takes on the traits and mannerisms of all the passengers as well. Without anyone on-board, GIB is nothing more than moss. As a partially psychic being, GIB can sense surface thoughts and emotions of it's passengers but it cannot truly read minds. Additionally, GIB's style of speaking, personality and even emotions can vary wildly depending on what mental signals it's picking up at any given time.

[Naja]

Name: Naja Kanda
Age: 24
Race: Human
Class: Monster Hunter
Skin: Dusty dark brown.
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Black, long and spiky.
Gender: Female
Height: 1.9 metres.
Home Planet: Arubatorion

Dialogue Colour: Green #00FF00

Physiology:
A tall, muscular, dark skinned woman, with thin eyes and a body that looks like it was thrown into a meat grinder and somehow still in pretty good shape despite all the scarring.
She always wears a green hairband, keeping her long hair out of her eyes.
While appearing to be little more than a human subspecies, she displays incredible physical ability unlike others of her kind. Her strength and endurance are highly disproportionate to her size and muscle mass. In addition she appears ambidextrous and displays slightly increased tissue and organ regeneration.

Skills:
Proficient with most primitive weapons, great knowledge of survival skills.

History:
There is no recorded information before she joined the Hunters Guild, an organization aimed at protecting civilization by hunting local Monsters which threaten their way of life.
Other guild hunters had many rumours about her past life, ranging from ex-royalty, to a slave who ran away but she never confirmed any of them, keeping her life private.
After working for the Hunters Guild for a few good years she very quickly earned a reputation for herself. Violent, persistent, and very very reckless. Some would even say batshit insane. Many other hunters considered who too dangerous to hunt alongside with.
However, clients of the Guild and Guild representatives all agreed she was very good at getting the job done, if at a slightly higher fee sometimes.

One day, she went off targeting an ancient dragon, despite the Guild denying her permission to do so. No one knows why she went on a suicide mission, and she was never seen again... on that planet. She was teleported off Arubatorion, straight onto Jachrid Station.

Home Planet:
Naja's home planet doesn't have a name according to it's inhabitants, as far as they're concerned it's the world and that's all they know. To those of other planets with rather more advanced technology at their disposal, the planet is commonly known as Arubatorion. While the bulk of civilized population are hominids scientifically known as Homo Venators, the planet is also inhabited by a large variety of gigantic creatures that most refer to simply as Monsters.
Experts of other planets believe that the reason the dominant species on Arubatorion haven't advanced technologically is due to spending most of their time as a society, defending themselves from Monsters.
Arubatorion remains mostly undisturbed by the rest of the galaxy due to it containing several endangered and protected species, although Homo Venators are not one of them.

[Jikai]

Name: Jikai
Age: 27
Race: Yuana
Class: Ronin
Skin: Dark blue, with a distinct change to light blue from his chin, down his chest and belly to the inside of his thighs and under his upper arms.
Eyes: Green
Gender: Male
Height: 172cm or 5’8”
Color= Blue

Appearance:

***Image might go here at some point, possibly***

Jikai is part of a mostly amphibious species. They are not incredibly widespread, but do own or co-own about 3 worlds. They have webbed toes and fingers, and have fins on their heads that vary in shape and size as much as the rest of the face. They do not necessarily have to remain in water, as their skin naturally secretes a small amount of fluid to keep itself moist. This does, however, mean that they must drink more water than most other land-dwelling humanoids. Jikai in particular appears quite fit, somewhat muscled. His body and mind are trained and quiet, and he moves with deliberate precision in most cases. He wears something kind of resembling a red kimono with purple trim, although made of a synthetic waterproof material. It is largely designed to keep the natural layer of fluid on his skin from evaporating, while also not retaining water and getting heavy when swimming. By his left side is a pair of blades. One short, only about a foot in length. The other excessively big, over a meter long. Both are held in red sheathes with gold and silver ornamental markings near the mouth and base. The blades themselves have a synthetic wrapping around the handles for grip, with similar gold and silver markings. They are slightly swept back at the top and triangular at the handguard to minimise water resistance.

Brief History:

The Yuana live on a few occupied planets on both land and water, some shared with other dominant species. The diverse habitats they live in has led to a number of cultures among their nations, as one would expect. Jikai was born into a region controlled by a warlord, part of a nation that extended from the ocean to somewhat inland and bordered another nation predominantly controlled by an ape-like land dwelling race. From boyhood, Jikai was told he would be pressed into service as a warrior like so many others. Rather than rejecting his predetermined life, he embraced it. Immediately he began to study the martial arts, learning to control his mind and body and that of his future enemies. Although the Yuana had ranged weapons, Jikai found a preference for up close and personal combat due to the fact that projectile weapons travelled slowly underwater anyway, and on land the dense jungles of his homeland meant that encounters would likely be at rather close range. He trained and trained and trained… but when he came of age he only served little over a year as a warrior before the warlord succumbed to illness and was replaced with a new leader who put an end to the conflict. Frustrated that his training had been made largely irrelevant, Jikai abandoned service to his country (and later his planet) to wander as a blade for hire, soon earning a reputation among the stars for his dedication and ruthless efficiency.

Bio:

So, Jikai is a ronin. Yeah, he was totally a samurai of some sort, for all intents and purposes, when he was briefly in the service of his warlord. Still, this doesn’t make him ineffective in the far more advanced galaxy beyond his home. He is quick with his sword. Very quick. In fact, one of his primary focuses in combative arts is the skill or drawing and striking with a blade, often followed by a slower and artistic re-sheath. He is not exclusively trained with his sword though. Originally being a warrior intended for military service, he trained with a variety of other weapons as well. This includes firearms and missile weapons and the like. He just has a preference for the flashy, artistic nature of his blades.

Additional:

The Yuana vary on their social standing with other races in the galaxy. Some, particularly a feline-like species that shares one of the planets they inhabit, regard them as a sentient food. To be fair, they are quite delicious if you are a seafood lover. This world constantly has scuffles between the two species, however the fishies are a fair bit more organised and well equipped than their opposition which reduces the number of fatalities on both sides and helps prevent the outbreak of actual full-scale war in the region.
Others consider them somewhat primitive. They may have reached the stars, but this was thanks to no small amount of tech acquired from both welcome and unwelcome visitors from other worlds. They deemed transportation and travel to be more in need of development than weaponry, although their war machines have increasingly grown in sophistication. Still set in somewhat older ways though, their warriors and leaders have preference towards improving traditional, heftier weaponry rather than developing completely new tech, leading to them having some renowned blades and harpoon-like weaponry.
Still, while generally looked down upon to a degree, their dedication and discipline in their chosen job and even day-to-day activities is something to be admired (although is just as often laughed at, so serious). One does not trifle with a Yuana warrior.
