Alright, I'll edit that stuff too.

I will lament the loss of the horrible, slobbering mandibles but that's the way it is.tongue

If you want, I suppose we could make it so, she normally looks like more humanized (besides the black bug eyes and other bee features), and we she is very angry, she can make a horrible mess of mandibles and such.

Another question: How exactly his Magus Gear powered? Does it use some kind of innate energy that each character has, or some applied phlebotinum?

Magic is powered by the natural spiritual energy the universe is created from, using a combination of your mind, body and soul to shape the magic into make ways through either natural talent, learning, or inheritances.

Combine that with technology, which makes it easier to control, dynamic, and able to be sealed for later and specialized use.

Excellent, thanks for the answers. I'll be coming up with a character very soon.

Edit: Actually I have one more question. Beastkin can totally be test-tube babies rather than being created in a more...squickier way, yes?

Yes, but it would have to be for one of a few good reasons. The couple wanted the baby to be born that way or it's a species that doesn't really have hybrids, and someone was doing experiments.

Name: Sun Xialong

Age: 21

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Appearance: Stands at about 5’10’ with shoulder-length black hair tied in a pony tail and brown eyes. Usually wears a dress shirt and tie due to his job.

Personality: Soft-spoken and shy, Xiaolong tends to be rather awkward around strangers. However, those who eventually get to know him find out he is very hyperactive and playful, usually acting as comedic relief when hanging around friends.

Weapon(s): Typically carries a Jian slung across his back, though he likes to summon a Guandao if facing multiple opponents.

Magus Gear: Can summon items from his personal Hammerspace (not unlike Erza from Fairy Tail). Has a small wristwatch that lists everything currently stored inside said hammerspace. His favorite thing to summon is a set of power armor that augments his strength considerably while allowing him to retain the speed and agility that he would have in normal clothes. The armor’s most notable abilities are that it allows him to lift two tons and jump nearly 10 feet into the air. The armor requires a considerable amount of magical energy to use and so far Xiaolong can only keep it active for about 30 minutes straight before it reverts to an unpowered set of armor. Prett much looks like this, without the helmet.

Biography: The second (and therefore unfavored) son of a moderately wealthy Chinese family. Xiaolong means “Little Dragon” in English and he was given this name due to his elder half-brother, Sun Wu, being a beastkin who was spliced with the DNA of a Komodo Dragon. Although he was always looked out for by his brother, Xiaolong was largely ignored by his parents while growing up. No amount of academic or martial excellence would ever turn their gaze of approval from the son who had been engineered for physical perfection. It was because of this that he joined the Academy when he turned 18, and was later given a position as the head quartermaster, due to the nature of his magic.

Accepted. Since he is a Quartermaster, when the crew is being assembled, they will be looking to him to be their navigator.

  • Name: Marie Lewison
  • Age: 19
  • Gender: Female
  • Race: Human
  • Appearance: Neck-length dark brown hair, eyes are grey and she stands at 5.4 ft tall. Her body is rather well developed and her face could be described as cute. she always changes clothes in accordance for the mission and environment they go to, but off mission she usually wears a red skirt, a camouflage patterned jacket and a white tank-top under the jacket
  • Personality: When Marie is off-mission she is dreamy and flirty. However on mission she becomes focused and cold, all in the name of efficiency. She holds the motto "If nothing else works, go for the eyes" very close to heart.
  • Weapon(s): A long-range semi-automatic rifle with a bayonet and a handgun in reserve.
  • Magus Gear: An implant in the brain which combines magic and technology to function and that can increase the reflexes and increase the rate at which the various senses picks up information. In short words it can make things seem to go in slow motion for the user.
  • Biography: Born on a feral backwater planet where one needs to learn how to use a rifle almost as soon as they can walk Marie was born into a family of hunters and got raised as one, with her family teaching her marksmanship, tracking, first aid, how to sneak up on your prey (or how to sneak away) and how to best use camouflage. She did however dislike that life and wanted to see more and other worlds and life forms so she signed up to the academy as soon as she grew old enough.

  • Name: Robin Cisum (pronounced se-sem)
  • Age: 39 (Human equivalent: 27)
  • Gender: Male
  • Race: Beastkin (Rat)
  • Appearance: Standing at a greatly intimidating 5'5", Robin is short. Well, compared to most beastkin, humans, and elves. His beady black eyes tend to dart back and forth while his prehensive tail swishes back and forth like a metronome. His nose comes from his mother (also a Ratperson) and his fur is a chocolate brown but only seems to cover his nose, his forearms, and the bottom half of his calf. Other than his face, all hairless parts of his body are covered out of shame. He tends to wear plain military clothes, as he doesn't like to draw extra attention to himself.
  • Personality: Robin is... Not particularly courageous. He fights but prefers to try and rationalize problems. Or run. Running works quite well, actually. He isn't a jerk, but he has issues in dealing with people; especially other beastkins, as he is very intimidated by them. He loves music and often times is humming a tune when in a good mood.
  • Weapon(s): A specially hand-made cannon. Instead of firing bullets or cannonballs, it shoots a special blasts of lightning. These lightning bolts do not seek ground, but instead search out other conduits. Like people. However, for the shots to be fired, a special mechanism must be charged. The mechanism is a wind-up that sounds reminiscent of a Jack-In-The-Box. He also keeps a standard military pistol on his person, but rarely uses it.
  • Magus Gear: Robin's Magus Gear is in the form of a special antenna which magically detects the 'beat' of machines. It's influence allows him to better operate and work in time with machines.
  • Biography: Robin grew up on the beastkin planet with a ratkin mother and a human father, he was bullied for being a runt and often came home beaten up. Due to his parents' assurance that he was fine, he grew up with a Holier Than Thou attitude towards his own race, which he hides beneath his frightened demeanor. He honestly believes that all other beastkin are brutish bullies but he manages to exclude himself from these rather offensive stereotypes. He took after his father's trade as a mechanic and, with the help of his handy dad, built his own hand-cannon that reflected his love of keeping time. He recently departed to the academy planet to further his practice as a mechanic working for the military.

... This reminds me so much of Magical Starsign. And it makes me love it more than you can imagine. <3 Now if only every plot point were made of Gummi...

Just a few questions: When it comes to Elves and Dwarves, do they look like the traditional variations thereof? What do their names sound like, generally? What kinds of cultures would be easiest to port over to their planets, Fantasy Counterpart Culture style? Or are their cultures more unique than that? Are their aging processes different? (Like, equivalencies?) How young is too young for the RP, excuses aside?

They look like tradition Dwarves and Elves. Their names also sound like traditional names, look some up, but they also tend to mix in some European names. The traditions are kind of the same, but in this Dwarves value progression magic more, since they feel their technology is the level they are happy with, while Elves fully progress with technology and magic as much as possible. Humans live to about 200, Dwarves live to about 150, Elves to about 350, Beastkin to about 250.

And you can have a character that is at least 17.

  • Name: Odevo Stardreamer
  • Age: 17
  • Gender: Male
  • Race: Elf
  • Appearance: Odevo is particularly short for an elf, standing at 5'8". While some inconceptions may come up about it, he has almost pitch-black skin and pure white hair. His face is heartshaped, being less angular than the general stereotype of elves, and his gold eyes are almond shaped. He has pointed ears that droop down, though they are exceptionally short for a dark elf. His build is slightly muscled, but nothing to suggest rigorous athleticism or training. He has a tattoo of a seven-pointed star, a dynasty-symbol, hidden in the small of his back.
    His mannerisms and movements tend to remind people of a cunning fox, being small and, yet, efficient. His clothing is sloppy, being just a short tunic and baggy cloth pants, usually in dark or subdued colors. His shoes are generally the same from day to day: A pair of used, black boots, in a style that seems somewhat reminiscent of human sneakers, albeit only passingly.
  • Personality: Odevo is a very calm and laid-back person. Despite being so calm and laid-back, he is not even a bit lazy; he will put all of his effort into something, regardless of how much effort is need. He never claims to be above 100% of his capabilities, though, as he finds the idea a tad ridiculous. Still, he is a bit of a daydreamer, though he snaps back to reality a bit quicker than most, and when under pressure he suppresses this part of himself.
    Despite all appearances, Odevo is a very curious person. He loves to learn, and can often be found reading in his free time. He has a bit of a sneaky streak, tending to try and go to "off-limits" places just to see if he can. (He has actually inspired a few security revisions for curfew.) Both of these lend well into his reason for being at the academy: Espionage.
  • Weapon(s): Odevo possesses a high-teck bow. It automatically creates lazer stun-arrows, with enough charge in them to knock out a grown buffalokin. (Of course, that wasn't the greatest job Hugh Morrison ever took...) The bow folds conveniently, and when needed, it has a lazer-light string, which requires that he not pull-back, but pass his finger through in a specific fasihon.
  • Magus Gear: While his bow is quite useful, Odevo's main magus gear is a high-tech bracelet, with many lights and gauges. Despite all appearance, the device is used to create a Harmonized Thought Matrix, a magic technique that allows Odevo to enter a person's thoughts. This is generally used to find information, but the technique was traditionally created for use in psychology.
  • Biography: Odevo was born to a small dynasty of elves, whose history started in the slavery of a much larger dynasty. After sneaking into the night, legend has it they were gifted with the color of the night sky, hair of the moon, and eyes of the stars. While he knows this is likely untrue, a fairy tail designed to instill a sense of nationalistic pride at a young age, he did like the story when nana told it. His mother would often tell the story with her, though it was tinted in the way that only an engineer could. His father would come home late, sometimes in the middle of storytime. He would chime-in occasionally on innaccuracies in animal or plant descriptions, but these were usually met with a "Hush, now!" from nana as she continued the story.
    When Odevo was entering adolescense, his parents noticed, worryingly, that he had become quite good at sneaking out of the house. While he hadn't done so to meet with the dynasty's female adolescents, nor to vandalize the homes of members of the community or other illegal acts, they feared it might become as much if it went unchecked. The topic of military school came up a few times, but ultimately they didn't agree on if he should be sent. It was actually the adolescent himself, romanticizing the field of espionage, who took up the option, and was met with incredulous looks by his parents. They, reluctantly, agreed to send him, though they wanted to be notified every step of the way. He still writes to them, as often as possible.

If the name isn't what you had in mind, I got it from the Seventh Sanctum Dark Elf name generator. Also, I'm well aware I'm (probably) misusing the word dynasty, but I prefer to use it over clan or tribe, because it sounds more regal. If you prefer I change it, please say so. Also, if I took too many liberties with elvan society, I'm sorry. >.< (And yes, he's a dark elf, and no, he's not any different than a "normal" elf. I'm pretty sure it's no different than human skin differences.)
