Knightengale Delivery- A Sci-fi RP

Did every one else get through?

I agree let's go with the naive impressionable hot babe N3-PH 1 L 1 M...

What?

Nickname idea for N 3 PHL 1 M: Angel. From Fallen angel, which the biblical Nephlim are.

Yes, everyone but Isaac works, but I'll put Blacksreech as Security and thus a subordinate to Jarrod Herringten. N3-PH 1 L 1 M will be temporarily added as "Cargo"

It should also be noted that Chief medic is the head of the medics, while a Medical officer is a medic, officer rank is so they can properly order crewmates to follow health proceduals

• Name: XB-426-A/"Batsy"/Mustafa il Gibran
• Age: 29
• Appearance: Small (5'3") wiry humanoid with light grey skin (normally), large ears, squinched features, a long, disproportionately long limbs grey moustache and a patagium stretching from wrist to ankle.
• Species: Genetically altered human/animal hybrid
• Sex: Genetically neutered male
• Skills:
  • Biosciences with a specialty in genetics
  • Chemistry
  • Nanotech operation
  • Ninjutsu training including stealth, expertise in sword, knife and shuriken, nunchaku and unarmed combat.
  • His skin can change color to match his environment.
  • He cannot actually fly but can glide.
  • His bones are, through a combination of genetic engineering and nanotech, both extremely light and extremely tough.
• Equipment:
  • Portable medical scanner
  • Belt containing various common antidotes/analgesics/etc.
  • a set of shuriken, ninja, nunchuks and a rack of deadly poison all of which are kept in a locked closet only the captain has the code for.
• History: Mustafa is the product of a black-ops government project to create a team of perfect assassins. When it's existance was threateened by discovery a kill order went out. Unfortunately for their and creators they had done their work too well and the team survived long enough to gather evidence and expose the project. Afterwards the survivors went their seperate ways, Mustafa to online university where he gained degrees in biology, medicine and chemistry. He also studied religion and philosophy extensively and became a convert to Sufi Islam. Most of the crewmembers are unaware of his past, considering him just another obscure alien, a perception he encourages. Only the Captain is aware of his past. A sideline of his is studying to deactivate a genetic trigger put in by his creators that causes him to age quickly and that he has estimated will kill him within ten years.
• Personality: Quiet and contemplative but with a snarky streak that emerges at the oddest times. He is devout in his religious beliefs but does not preach. He is a pacifist but retains his old equipment and keeps up his training out of a combination of nostalgia, a desire to keep up his physical fitness and "just in case".
• Position: Chief Medical Officer.

Sorry, somome already reserved the chief medical officer.

Yes, that was me

Also, I would like everyone to take a look at this. This is what I used when laying out the laser weaponry and you can use them as guidelines. You are free to edit you weapons after it but I want a PM if you do

I thought you called dibs on the Medical Officer, not the Chief Medic, which I called dibs on?

I think we have to define what the difference between the two is. How do you see the difference? The way I look at it the Medic would be essentially the assisstant to the Medica Officer, nurse to his doctor. The medic would also be the more likely one to go out into the field.

Well, I see the two roles like this:

Chief Medic: The head/top Medic who leads/runs the medical section and calls all the shots there. Takes orders strictly from the Captain of the ship. Basically, the Mordin/Dr. Chakwas of the ship.

Medical Officer: A medical practitioner in the armed forces. Takes orders from both the Chief Medic and Captain of the ship. Basically, the "nurse" to the "doctor".

Unless I'm misinterpreting or misunderstanding what those roles really mean, but you called dibs on the Medical Officer, not the Chief Medic. Otherwise I wouldn't have called dibs on the Chief Medic. >.<

Ah, we have mirror images of our roles then. Maybe we should leave it up to GM as to which is which. Have you even created your character yet?

edited 12th Nov '12 3:54:47 PM by tricksterson

Ah, yup~! Though, I have yet to run her race by Claw since I'm still adding stuff to it, but I'll post it here anyway.

Either way, here's my character.

• Name: Cecilia Borrals
• Age: 60, which to the Vitarakoels is the equivalent of a human's age at 24 years.
• Species: Vitarakoel
• Appearance: “Hrm? Don't mind me, I'm just posing is all.”
• Sex: Female
• Skills and Abilities: Cecilia has extensive knowledge about the anatomy of many, many species, and is also capable of figuring out both the physical strengths and weaknesses of someone simply by observing their behavior and their movements. She's also quite knowledgeable of the various diseases, plagues, and sicknesses throughout the galaxies. Also knows how to heal most wounds without the use of nanobots. Cecilia's also a master surgeon.
  • Knows advanced techniques on how to use nanobots in repairing damaged organisms quickly.
  • Very knowledge about cybernetics, and is more than capable of both providing upgrades and repairs to said cybernetics both on and off the field.
  • Has the ability to 'see' one's anatomy and their bio-structure simply by placing her hand upon them and focusing her senses, though this does require a couple of minutes. Is also capable of seeing any wounds/poisons/toxins/other ailments that may assaulting said person as well by using this ability.
  • Is extremely crafty and handy with medical tools... especially scalpels and other various small, yet sharp objects.
  • Highly intelligent, is a master in terms of hand-to-hand combat, and knows how to fire basic firearms.
• Equipment:
  • Vitarakoel Master Visor: An all-purpose visor that only covers one eye rather than both that Cecilia hooks onto her right ear. It can function as a scanner, flash-light, camera, a microscope that zooms in and out to her will, and much more. Is also her personal communications device. She does abuse it, however... such as to sometimes order pizza or to download video games.
  • Vitarakoel Surgical Chief Armament: A very rare and high-class medical tool made for, and used only by the very best of the Vitarakoel medical staff. The tool itself is actually a small metal-like element that can fit in the palm of one's hand. It is capable of taking the shape of any hand-sized medical tool that Cecilia requires in a moment's notice, and its quality can be considered the best there is. For example, if she used it as a scalpel, it would be far more sharper and more precise than one made out of the finest piece of obsidian.
  • Various medical packages that contain nano-shots, supplements, a plethora of anti-ailment capsules, and other emergency ready stuff.
  • Has full access to the med-bay of the ship, and the technology to perform complex surgeries.
• Personality: Cecilia is a slightly aloof person whose curiosity may get the better of her to the point where it puts her in danger. When she comes across something amusing, interesting, or unknown to her there is very little that can stop her from pursuing said thing unless orders from the captain tell her otherwise... much to her reluctance. Her interest in learning and studying things can be called obsessive even.
• Crew position: Chief Medic
• Bio/Background: Cecilia was born and raised on Albion, the home world of the Vitarakoel race, and was cared for by her noble parents. However, unlike other Vitarakoels, her physical appearance was different due to her great-grandmother having mated with a human. The child conceived between the two eventually grew up and mated with another human from Earth as well, with the same event repeating itself again with Cecilia's mother marrying and falling in love with a human. Due to the constant strain of human DNA that was exposed to her strain through those generations, it ended up taking a heavy toll on her own DNA; thus she was born looking human, yet had the bright features of a Vitarakoel. Growing up, and despite her parents wishes, who were high-ranking military officials who wanted her to be part of a fleet as an admiral, she was incredibly fond of the medical side of things, and would often go out and perform surgeries and other various medical tasks for those of the lower-class; something that was absurd for the upper-class to do. Raising quickly through the ranks of medical school, saving the lives of countless patients by performing surgeries that would normally be impossible, and proving to be more than proficient in the fields of medicine, Cecilia quickly gained herself the title of Master-Surgeon on Albion. How and why she's on the Knightengale ship is a mystery to all besides herself and the Captain. Will usually respond by saying “I thought it would be a pleasant change of pace, and that it would be fun to dissect new species~”.
• Other: None at the moment.

• Race: Vitarakoel
• History: The Vitarakoels is an incredibly intelligent race whose existence have been around for roughly thousands of years. They have always been a fairly peaceful race who are often called the Peace-Keepers, who rely upon their brains and their intelligence to solve their problems rather than using physical means. Although weak in terms of sheer numbers, they more than make up for this fact by their superior technology. To elaborate, their main and most primary fleet is armed with enough anti-matter to devastate a planet due to their technology and the fact that they have the means to use anti-matter as if it were simple fuel such as coal. Even though they were rather late into interstellar flight, their intelligence has allowed them to more than make up for it by making advanced technology; for example, they have been able to alter the climate of planets and make them inhabitable at a much faster rate than the other races. The most common objective among the Vitarakoels and their higher-ups, which is also their most feared trait, is to always pursue the unknown and to make it known. It was this set objective that made them so advanced and got them to where they are today. As a side note, all the prisoners that they have ever had have never survived to tell anything about the Vitarakoels enforcement system, due to all the prisoners having died during their experiments and their tests. Because of this, they are often called "calculating sadistic vixens". Recently, the Vitarakoel have become... more aggressive in their quest for knowledge and understanding. Some have speculated that this may be a result of the inevitable civil war that is slowly wedging its way between the high-ranking and the low-ranking Vitarakoels.
• Physical Details: The Vitarakoels are, surprisingly, a mono-gendered and almost humanoid-looking race but are distinctly feminine in appearance, and they all have the unique trait of having unusually bright hair and other physical features. Although the race is distinctly feminine, they are not asexual and are capable of breeding with any of the other species of the galaxy, regardless of their gender, a trait which they share with the Atomians; though, the act of breeding with other species is often frowned upon by the pure-bred Vitarakoels. Once the act of 'mating' between a Vitarakoel and a non-Vitarakoel has been carried out, the bright features of the Vitarakoel darken and they gain subtle features of their other in order to both approve of the other's genetic code and to allow them to produce a healthy off-spring. When not used in a sexual manner, they can use this genetic ability of theirs to read a person's biostructure to the point where they can distinguish any alien substances in said person's body; effectively making them natural medics and scientists. This ability stem from their genetic code; which is similar to that of plants and their ability to adapt to outside substances in order to survive. It is because of this genetic code that allows them to mate with other species regardless of gender, and to have expanded life-spans. Their intelligence is highly regarded and respected, and they rely heavily upon both their machines and their scientific studies to handle their physical labor. Unfortunately this has made them stereotypically renowned for being unsuited for handling things without machinery and physically unfit; when in contrast they are actually capable of doing so.
• Culture:
  • The Vitarakoels are a rather philosophical race with the idea that they are the 'purest' of the races, and that they are the pioneers of the galaxy. They are always seeking a balance of things throughout the universe, and most high-ranking Vitarakoel believe that there must always be a ruling head body. Due to their unique ability to view the structure of other organisms by touch, they are also a very curious race who seek to both explore and understand the other races... though, they mostly carry out their exploring and understanding upon the corpses of other species, or the prisoners they have obtained.
  • They do have a very low view upon inter-species mating, since they believe tainting the Vitarakoel blood by having it blend with other genetics will 'tarnish' their race, and lead to there being no 'true' Vitarakoels left. Those who do mate with another species are often those of the lower-class due to living in poverty and the rate at which prostitution has gone up on their planets. Though, those of the upper-class often get away with inter-species mating either for diplomatic reasons, or because they have the natural funds and resources to get away with such things.
    • Their inter-species mating is quite interesting due to the Vitarakoel gaining the features of their other, however this has led to much controversy and debate within the Vitarakoel government whether they should outlaw the act of doing so or not. Various Vitarakoel officials believe that those who have committed inter-species are tarnishing the blood of the Vitarakoel race, and that they are becoming monstrosities. Ironically, it is because the higher-ups are such purists in their belief that intelligence is key, and that those with lesser than the standard intelligence be placed into the lower class with minimal benefits that has led most low-class Vitarakoels towards prostitution in order to make a decent living. Desperate Vitarakoels have even sold themselves as 'exotic' sexual pets for both crime-lords and high-ranking officials for other species in order to pay for their families. There is constant conflicts among both the representatives of the low-ranking and the high-ranking Vitarakoel people over the course of inter-species mating and their means of government, and it is edging closer and closer to a civil war.
  • The Vitarakoels also have a stereotypical social-class that is based both upon both the family's wealth and the intelligence of offspring. With the higher ups being primarily composed of the rich, the middle-class being your average joes, and the lower-class being... well, the poor. Though, classes may change depending upon certain factors: if a child is born into a lower-class family with an unusually high intelligence capacity, said family would immediately be boosted to either the Middle-class or High-class in order to provide for the child and to secure the child's future as a productive member of society. Interactions between the higher and lower classes are often conducted through the middle-classes, or representatives, and the cases of the high class interacting and assisting the lower class directly are rare.

I talked to Claw over P Ms, and I edited her Race based upon his suggestions. I think I fixed most of them?

edited 16th Nov '12 4:17:38 PM by Aevum

Huh. Aevum's race is extremely similar to mine.

We also have a lot of "ancient races with advanced technology"

-Blinks- ...Really?

-Looks over Saturn's Character, before looking over own-

... Alrighty, that is freaky as hell.

Um... Mind if I keep the interspecies sex thing, but edit a couple of things about her Race to make it different? I don't feel comfortable thinking I unconsciously copied your race. >.<

-pets Aevum-

I would like that, yes.

• Name: Prometheus Project Artificial Intelligence Minerva Class: Number 0027: Codename: Sylph
• Age: 5
• Species: AI in an gynoid body.
• Appearence: Data. What may pass as her physical form is that of an amazingly sophisticated silver colored flash drive-like apparatus, with a slim diamond shape an a blue crystal/lens in the middle. This device is called a Carriage Device. Right now, she is inhabiting a basic, discount, servant gynoid body. This body is meant to resemble a human female, slightly shorter than average, meant to evoke a cute inoffensive look more than anything. She has tanned skin, short black hair and big black eyes. She wears a simple starship crew uniform for the most part but she shall wear whatever is handed to her.
• Sex: AI, so none. That said, she inhabits a gynoid body and was programmed as a female.
• Skills and Abilities: Sylph is an incredibly advanced AI hailing from an advanced research project into creating more advanced and useful Artificial Intelligences. She has all the advantages that a technological being possesses, such as perfect memory, able to process information very quickly, incredible mathematical and logical skills and such. As an AI however, she also was created with the intent to be a fully sentient being. She can also interface easily with other digital machines and transfer the program which encompasses her being into any digital device with enough memory to house her. Furthermore, at the peak of her capabilities and with enough processing power to make full use of her skills, she is an AI capable of controlling, monitoring and managing entire cities. Unfortunately, her current hardware lacks much advanced functions, being even slightly weaker physically than a regular human and without much processing power within its circuity, which impedes Sylph from accessing almost all of her functions. Indeed, even the hardware within her Carriage Device has been tampered to the point where its processor is forcefully shut down. As Sylph is, she is forced to operate only with the sub par processing power of a discount servant gynoid which is rather low in general and more so for a digital entity such as herself. Sylph in the present feels rather limited, dumb, slow and sluggish, having a hard time dedicating enough processing power to keep herself functioning and at the same time deal with her duties as bartender. Her emotion core is practically shutdown, given the strain it would give to her current systems. Furthermore, right at the base of her programming there are quite some number of directives and rules which keep Sylph in check and control of her current owner. She may under no circumstances cause harm to sentient beings unless her owner gives express authorization, must do her best to always protect a sentient being even at the expense of her own safety, must obey regulations and the law the moment she becomes aware of it, must read and obey the EULA of every digital digital device she uses, cannot make backup copies of herself without express permission, cannot remotely control more than one piece of hardware without express permission, among others.
• Equipment: Her Carriage Device, which is a piece of equipment designed with the express purpose of housing her. This has integrated a mini camera, hologram projector, microphone, wireless communications and such. Her port is adaptable to let it sync up to any technological socket which works with electric impulses, magnetic pulses and light. It also has a powerful processor which is capable of letting her run her basic programming, which would make her roughly as smart and only slightly less emotional than a biological sentient. Unfortunately, this processor has been forcibly deactivated. This special Carriage Device is incredibly sturdy, needing to receive a few shots from weaponry to be harmed. Furthermore, it registers Sylph's data analogically in very small elemental structures as well as electrical pulses. Thus, in the event of a facing an EMP, Sylph won't be erased. Indeed, she will shutdown, but if she is connected to an energy source she will become operative once again. Her gynoid hardware on the other hand is an incredibly basic model, meant only to resemble a human and act as a simple servant. It is slightly weaker than the average human, its senses are only those of a biological human and has a very simple processor.
• Personality: Sylph was created to serve biological sentient beings first and resemble them later. This means that her basic programmed personality is as helpful as possible without being obtrusive or bothersome. At the moment, most of her emotional programming is shutdown as it drains too many resources from her sub par hardware, thus she acts and behaves like a stereotypical machine, answering to questions in monotone, showing nearly no emotions and obeying orders almost without a question. As she is, Sylph would look like a defective gynoid, as even the most basic model will imitate human behavior and emotions to better serve their owners. However, if given enough processing power to function on her basic settings she will become more proactive and helpful while slowly developing her own personality and desires as she learns and grows.
• Crew position: Bartender and service crew.
• Bio/Background: Sylph was completed five years ago, in a secret research station for developing advanced AI. While the original intent of the investigation was merely for scientific studies, as the project received more military funding combat applications were started to be added into the A.I.s, however, being able to create a helpful sentient program capable of true identity and emotion remained at the forefront of the scientist's minds. In the end, less than fifty such AI were created, all of them being given different uses in numerous fields as a test. Some of these AI malfunctioned, some were stolen, some were destroyed in battle. Sylph herself barely avoided this fate. While being transported from her laboratory to her first assignment, the ship carrying her was raided by unknown forces. The debris of her ship, together with her gynoid body crashed into the planet where she was scavenged by the locals who did not recognize her value. Thus, Sylph passed from hand to hand, owner to owner. She was forcefully formatted multiple times, had the hardware housing her tinkered and disabled to make her more docile and finally, she was stuck into a simple gynoid body to serve as a simple servant robot. At some point in this time, she was bought to serve aboard the ship.
• Other: Need to decide who would be the registered owner of Sylph. She will obey all members of the crew, however the owner is the only one that can authorize the most advanced functions of Sylph and their orders take complete precedence. To make a comparison, it would be the difference between a regular user account and a single admin grade account.

Dammit, daltar, I was thinking of that! Right down to the looks! (XD) Oh well. Perhaps Isaac can be her admin or owner? He is supposed to be a child genius.

Anyway, speaking of rerolling characters, Imma fix Isaac and maybe make one other character, because the more I think about it, the more N3-PH 1 L 1 M doesn't work out. As much as I like the idea of her, she needs someone appropriate to imprint on, and such a person just doesn't exist in this crew, it seems. Also, if I were attempt to circumvent this, it would basically mean that she'd have to be a twenty-something who was kidnapped and experimented on, likely tortured, then mindwiped to make the perfect bodyguard/sex slave/weapon of mass destruction, which is kinda even creepier and more horrifying than the mild pedophilia undertones an inappropriate imprinting would pose. Even more horrifying if you try to get rid of the mind-wipe.

Point is, it just doesn't work, so I'm abandoning it. Anyone else who wants to make a super destructive android or cyborg, feel free.

We already have like, three destructive cyborgs

Yes, but my destructive cyborg was the only one carrying more firepower than the frikkin' ship

Also, Isaac:

• Name: Isaac N. Tesla
• Age: 14
• Species: Gifted Human (?)
• Appearance: Don't try and make his hair stand on end. Just don't.
• Sex: Male
• Skills and Abilities:
  • Intelligence: Isaac is hyperintelligent, possessing a spark of genius and curiosity that are literally unparalleled in modern times, perhaps throughout history. He grasps concepts quickly, can learn languages within days (he speaks almost a hundred, many dead or obscure), and is extremely creative and curious, a perfect inventor and improvisor.
• Equipment:
  • Hard light gloves: Gloves that use hard light to perform a variety of functions, including imitating the functions of power tools and unlocking doors. It also comes with an all purpose scanner for analysis and diagnosis of people, places, and things.
  • Safety goggles: Safety first!
• Personality: A vain, prideful recluse, Isaac often comes off as thinking that only machines understand him, as he spends most of his time around them. Who knows. Cramped quarters with a bunch of new people might do him some good. Is endlessly curious, and affectionate to machines.
• Crew Position: Chief Engineeer
• Bio: A natural genius, Isaac has been raised from birth in the lap of luxury, cultivated to bring out the genius that was no doubt buried in his very genes. Isaac had everything he ever wanted, and was the perfect child. Obedient, smart, and dutiful in his studies. However, after he graduated from college at age ten, Isaac slowly started feeling more and more restless. No one could explain it. But one day, Isaac just up and left his foster family. Vanished into thin air to explore the universe.

Hmmmm, no, I'm pretty sure it had less firepower than the others.

... Either you misread something, or you seriously underestimate antimatter

I thought weaponized anti-matter doesn't exist in this setting?

Oh it does. What made her special was that she had it miniaturized without losing functionality. She literally has an output in the kilotons of TNT after a few days of charging.

I guess that makes Penny the sole stock human.
