In the year 2790, on the first Human Colony of Mars;
[Prologue]
A young Human, named Reilly Atwood, was scavenging for materials in one of Mars's myriad scrapyards, when he came across a seemingly undamaged military ship, and recognized the model as one engineered by the HCA (Human Colonial Armada.) to end a large string of pirate raids on weaker transportation-class ships. As soon as he pried the door open, it reactivated, revealing an extremely rare and valuable find... it still had a functional AI operator.
Following the careful instructions of the operator, he repaired the ship, at least to a functional state. In exchange for this, he was granted the title of captain, and immediately set to hiring a loyal crew, so that he could live his dreams of a life of excitement and adventures, becoming a ranger of sorts, going around and doing tasks others dare not attempt, in exchange for large sums of money.
The deadline for joining was a few months after the actual posters were put up, with the instructions to meet in the spot where he found the ship on a specific date. You are one of the people who signed up, and you find yourself, with a group of others, heading towards the location.

[Human city.]
Humans are a determined, adaptable race which evolved in a situation of extremely scarce resources and myriad environmental hazards, both animals and climate. Despite almost going extinct, they were able to pull through and conquer the rest of the planet with almost no difficulty, wiping out almost anything capable of posing a serious threat.
Human appearance needs little explanation.

Now, they function under a centralized republic, renowned for it's military prowess. They are viewed as unpredictable warriors by the other races.
{Chromatics}
View attachment 93470
[Chromatic City]
The Chromatics are a colorful, energetic race which evolved in a situation of many resources and almost no predatory creatures. This caused them to become more graceful and colorful, (Similarly to Earth's "Birds of paradise.") sporting a large amount of different hair and eye colors, with heterochromia being common.
Chromatics can have almost any hair and eye color.

They have an aristocratic government. They are viewed by the other races as artistic but materialistic, and generally flashy.
{Vampires}
View attachment 93468
[Vampire City]
Vampires are a patient, resourceful race which evolved in a massive underground biosphere absolutely overrun with predatory creatures. This has caused them to have a weakness to UV light as well as being incapable of sweating, (Many of the predatory creatures tracked by smell.) and therefore
can overheat easily. They are, however, extremely patient, calm, quiet, and quick thinking.
Vampires have pale or grey skin, and monochrome hair color, as well as all human eye colors, with the addition of red or yellow.

They have an elective dictatorship. They are viewed by the other races as thinkers and philosophers.
{Scavengers}

[Scavanger City, erected next to an old city from before the nuclear war.]
Scavangers are a race of mysterious telepaths who believe they started out in a situation similar to humans, until a nuclear war broke out and forced them to start all over again. By the time they reached the space age, they had developed strange telekinetic powers, capable of communicating telepathically with any creature having Scavanger blood flowing through it's brain. It has a range of 10-25 miles, depending on the mental states of the two communicating. Traditionally, they show as little skin as possible. Their telepathic abilities can be gained by a series of tedious and expensive blood transfusions.
Scavangers have shades of light blue, green, or pink skin, and can have almost any color of eyes, which are bio-luminescent.

[Scavanger Army, using advanced coordination to fight off pirate bio-drones.]
They have the only successful large-scale socialist society in planetary history. They are viewed as strange, physically and socially.
{Jotun}
View attachment 93463
[Jotun City]
Jotun evolved in a temperate environment that was home to large quantities of dangerous mega-fauna, similarly to the vampires, but above ground. Rather than adapting to hide from and avoid these creatures, they grew stronger and stronger, in order to fight them. They also grew an extremely close-knit pack mentality.
They average a little over seven feet, and have sharp fangs for tearing the tougher plant and animal matter on their planet. They are naturally extremely physically fit and extremely fast.

[Jotun Military, in heavy power armor that further amplifies their natural strength.]
They are ruled by a council of over three-hundred clans. They are viewed as loyal and intimidating.

[Species.]
To this day, almost all current discovered alien species have had, strangely, a very human-like appearance, with only physically minor differences in each. As it stands, here is what we know... an unspecified time ago, there was an extremely advanced precursor species that spanned the entire galaxy. For an unknown reason, they picked various planets in order to "plant" a primitive species resembling their own on each planet they chose, which is the explanation for why many alien species look similar. This is the current database.{Humans}

Name:
Reilly Atwood
Species:
Human
Gender:
Male
Age:
19
Appearance:
Personality:
He is an eccentric people's person with an unstoppable thirst for adventure, and is not above risking his own life and limb for what he thinks will make a good story. In contrast to being reckless in regards to his own safety, he will fiercely protect his own, for two reasons, the first being that getting teammates killed makes for bad stories, and the other is simple morality.
Backstory:
Born on Earth and raised on Mars, Reilly loathed living at the heart of the Human empire, and constantly rushed to meet any non-human species that happened to be in the area. Eventually, stories of adventures in space got so thoroughly in his brain, that he decided he would stop at nothing until he became a captain of his own ship, until then, he scoured the Martian scrapyards for doodads and knickknacks, until he was lucky enough to find the "HAV-HC-1700" (Human-Armada-Vessel Hornet-Class 1700) and reactivate it. Shortly after repairing it with the help of the still functioning AI, he renamed it "The Phoenix." Shortly after, he put up fliers on the Galactic Internet with the hopes of finding a crew.
The story behind his scar is different every time he tells it.
Main Job on Ship:
Captain
Equipment:
Light Power Armor, Plasma Pistol, Hard Light Machete, Standard Issue Human Space Suit.
Skills:
Knows Basic Engineering, knows three languages. (Galactic Common, English, Scavenger.) And is a good fighter at close range.
Misc:
*Has not received a Scavenger Blood Transfusion
The Phoenix
The Phoenix is slightly larger than other transport ships, but that is due to it being an older model, as well as being made for extremely long times in space, it was, after all, designed to spend long periods of time searching for pirates. Luckily, the AI can handle some of the workload. It has a very large storage and bunk space. It is vulnerable to EMP strikes, but EMP cannons are rarer than they used to be, due to most modern ships being resistant.
