Any Trekkies around? Well, you should love this RP. It's heavily inspired by Star Trek, but with some differences.
Everyone in this RP will be a crew member aboard a ship called the I.S.S. (Ineterstellar Starship) Sherlock. Yeah, I know, a lot of S'es, so sue me. XP Anyway, the Sherlock is actually one of the GA's (Galactic Alliance) smaller crewed vessels, whose job is to investigate disturbances, various espionage missions, scout out new territories, etc. The actual ship's weapons aren't the greatest, and its shields are about average, but it has the advantage of being cloakable. And its crew handheld weapons are also slightly better than standard issue.
Like Star Trek, there will be a number of different key positions for characters... these are what are available currently (feel free to suggest more, though), arranged by overall rank:
*Captain:
*First Officer:
*Ship Tactical/Communications Officer:
*Chief of Security/Fighter Pilot 1:
*Head Engineer:
*Squadron Leader:
*Ship Medical Officer:
*Navigator:
And there are of course many races.
Earth: Humans, of course. Self-explanitory.
Vega: There are two races from the Vega-4 system...
Thryans- A race of humanoid furred creatures somewhat resembling tigers, but with black fur and green stripes. They're generally very strong-willed and strong, but also very friendly and jovial, as well as patient.
Lithans- Another animal-esque race, except instead of being fully anthropomorphic, they tend to swap between walking on all fours and standing on their hind legs, which are still shaped like their quadrupedal, digitigrade ancestors, though their feet are a bit bigger. They roughly resemble a cross between a fox and a wolf, with two fangs that protrude slightly from their mouth. They have retractable claws and a slightly raised mane-like tuft of hair along their head and neck, sort of like a hyena. Despite their appearances, they are a very peaceful race, and generally prefer science and exploration to fighting, but also make masterful tacticians.
Qajal
The Qailacks, as they call themselves, appear as thin, grey anthropomorphic beings, with slightly scaley skin and three eyes. Other than their skin and extra eye, though, they are very similar to humans, though they seldom have hair except on the sides of their head and on their face. They are generally physically weak, but they have... special mental abilities. They can move small objects with their mind and communicate telepathically. They also have a very keen sense of agility, almost as if they can see a few moments into the future. They are a slightly mystical race that tend to keep to themselves, but do take some part in the Alliance's politics.
Ravaria-7
The Ravarians are a long-lasting enemy of the Alliance, with frequent wars and shakey cease-fire treaties. The most recent treaty has lasted roughly 10 years, as the Ravarian Confederacy deals with political turmoil within its own boundaries. The route of their agression is their belief that they are somehow superior to all other lifeforms. They enslave all planets they conquer, and kill many that do not surrender quickly. They are covered in a smooth, rubbery black skin, and walk on four legs, with three tendril-like arms, each with three smaller suction-cupped digits on the ends. Their torso, neck, and head are all one long bulb on the top of the body, with a row of small, black eyes at the top (usually covered by optical-aid helmets), and as a sort of "hair" they have a sheet of silk-like material that grows just below the eyes on all sides of their head except the front.
And that's the main ones.... you're free to make up your own race, but keep it within reason. =p
