Welcome to Gaia! ::

(this is the first RP i have ever started, please go easy on me)

Man has reached the stars. Finally! And the first thing found out there was a ship. A derelict to be exact, older than any of the current civilizations on planet Earth, orbiting at the edge of our solar system. On board the derelict was an interstellar drive, which was promptly reverse engineered. Armed with this new technology, humanity started its spread among the stars. Eventually, it encountered the Council, a group of the twelve sentient species of the galaxy. Earth was warmly accepted into the interplanetary fold. On an interesting cultural note, 13 isn't just unlucky for humans.

================================================

All was going well until a Top Secret convoy dissapeared above a deserted planet. The Human Government, whose convoy it was, is desperate to get the cargo back, and has sent out a call for the rest of the council to send out its best soldiers to join the best of Humanity's to find it.

Accepted Profiles:

Gaian Name: Dred Noboru
Name:Shree'kraatlac
Nickname: Shreek
Species: Forvian
Weapons and equipment: Powered battle armor, which give good protection and enhances strength. Plasma carbine, Plasma pistol, fragmentation grenades
Description: Forvians are humanoid insects. Standing about six and a half feet tall they are covered in a dull brown-green exoskeleton. Their heads are featureless except for a mouth, and two bright blue sensory bars. Their hands have two fingers and a thumb, ending in sharp clas that are suprisingly dexterous.
Short(ish) Bio: Shreek had been in the military since he was 30 (he is 75 now), as Forvians live a long time, he is considered young to be in the Tridents, an elite military group. When he heard about the convoy, he volunteered. Shreek is hot-headed, and tends toward violence as the first response to a problem, this does not mean he doesn't approach said problem intelligently.
Special Power: Forvians can't talk with their mouths, but are able to send thoughts to others, and are able to sense the emotions and thoughts of others if they concentrate.

Gaian Name: Korn On A Stik
Name: Kiddan Roll
Nickname: "Kidd"
Species: Human
Weapons and Equipment: "antique" pump-action shot gun. three small canisters of homemade shotgun slugs, 18 inch stun baton, state of the art sub-machine gun, 3 fragment grenades, 3 C-16 (hopefully you get the idea) packs, box of cigars, lighter, combat armor.
Description:
Short(ish) Bio: He's been in the military since 17 and has been one of the toughest (and craziest) soldiers in the Marines. He has encountered all the main terrains of the explored solar system that man can travel to from his numerous exploration missions. This is going to be his first mission without the rest of the boys in the 902 Landers. He was sent on the mission solely for keeping the others alive through going first into the unstable areas and fire support if necessary. His shot gun has been in the family for since the late 20th century.
Special Powers: None, but his armor does give him quite a bit of resistance to the elements and to projectiles and a boost to his natural athletics.

Gaian name:Lordess of the Purple
Name: Flicka
Nickname: --
Species: Pyroits (aka Fire Being)
Weapons and Equipment: A dagger and her powers.
Description: She has short, choppy dark red hair. Her body is tall and she's pretty graceful for her height. She usually wears very baggy black pants with a dog chain (given to her by humans) and a space-suit-material that shows her stomach (color bright red). She doesn't wear shoes, ever. On all of her fingers of both hands are rings of different shades of red.
Short(ish) Bio: She was born on her planet, and her father was part of the government that was connected to the twelve others. Her father's flame heart is dimming now, so her older bother is taking his place.
Special Powers: pyrokineses, and able to bring fire from her energy, which drains her energy, but the older you get, the stronger you get. Pyroits people are able to live to one thousand years of age. She is just a teenager, so she's only about 300 years old.

Gaian Name: Tesunie
Name: Tak Wrenk
Nickname: Techy, or Wrench.
Species: Forvian
Weapons and Equipment: Plasma Granada and mini-rocket launchers. Also wears a general powered armor used for heavy weaponry, though specially fitted for his size.
Description: An unusually short Forvian, standing at only four feet tall, he has a dull green shell.
Short(ish) Bio: A member of Shreek's team, also volunteered to help 'Keep boss out of trouble'. Considered a bit of a techy, his unusual size often hinders his love to bigger weapons, but can also come in handy in those small places.
Special Powers: Has the usual mental communication of his race.

Gaian Name: ROQ and Roll
Name: Mellrook Heheshlo
Nickname:Mellro
Species: Rellovan
Weapons and Equipment:
Description: The Rellovan are rather humanoid with a few subtle differences. They have no hair on their heads and downward pointed ears. They are naturally taller than humans, average height of an adult is 7 feet tall, and have very long and thin extremities and fingers and consequently weight a lot less. The only hair on their bodies is on the back of their hands and all over their arms. The hairs work much like animal whiskers, being very sensitive to touch. Their joints extend 90 degrees farther than humans and their skin is nearly translucently pale. Mellrook personally wears a oval like visor that shows him a Heads Up Display and data on whatever organism or natural object he looks at, such as species, basic data, even temperature, and whatever else has been specifically programed into the visor like mission specs. He (Mellrook is male) also has a robotic exoskeleton arm that is incredibly light and can be taken off.
Short(ish) Bio: Mellrook is known as an astute scholar and scientist on Rellovia as well as being the most revered explorer from Rellovia, having traveled to more worlds than half of the population of the planet has ever set foot upon (which puts the count at around 60-65). He is also thought of by the majority of the population as a slightly aged, mad scientist. Which he is quite odd. The Rellovan Government requested for Mellrook to go on the mission to gather information on the planet concerned in the mission and to have their planet's and race's name mentioned in the mission debriefing.
Special Powers: Rellovans are incredibly agile and can jump up to five times their height. The exoskeleton arm gives super human strength for that arm plus portable scientific and mechanic tools.

The station hung over the planet like some sort of ancient monolith. Shreek was awakened from his meditation at the bump of the shuttle docking with the station. He picked up his gear and walked out of the shuttle, thanking the pilot on the way out. in the hangar, he hopped on a tram, and rode it to the Central Transit Station, where he would take a train to the breifing room.

(third person please)

After docking the shuttle that carried himself and his fellow Trident to the station, Tak responded to Shreek, "I'll meet you in the briefing room once final checks are done, sir."
Tak started to go through the docking checklist, checking the engines as he shut them down, taking the weapons off standby and turning them off. It took him a few minutes to finish the list, which really wasn't important, but Tak didn't like to take chances.
Finally, he left the shuttle, locking the hatch behind him. "Shuttle secure sir. It will be waiting for us upon our return."

Flicka nodded, and followed quickly. She was gazing at her new company's face when she realized what he said. "Brother." She corrected, smiling. "It's a mistake, true, but not a very strong one. I'll count that down." She said, folded her arms behind her back as she effortless kept pace with him.

Flicka nodded to her brother's old friend and hopped onto the shuttle and she walked almost like prancing to a seat where she waited. She never put on a seat belt, dispite the obvious dangers, like wrecks. She heard that humans did this too in their shuttles. So strange, that two races could be alike.
