    Mandi
    Mandi History and Society
    This humanoid race entered ”Civilized” space with only one thing on their mind; money. They are mercenaries and pirates by choice, living onboard massive floating fortresses they claim to be ”Motherships”. The rest of the civilized races call them for what they are, floating arrays of weapon for when Mandi Diplomacy falls short. Mandi inner politics is wrought with blood fueds based on ancient claims to. Due to the Mandi race possessing a form of genetic memory unlike any other intelligent species, these fueds do not get forgotten, ever. Outsiders may with some certeinty point out that this may be one of the many factors that made Mandi unable to settle on a planet or in a system, or why they are all so damn violent.

    Mandi Physiology and Biology
    Mandi appear to humans very alike them at a single glance. Bipedal, human like features aside from slightly bigger, elongated ears. But Mandi are rather taller then humans, the average Mandi stands a total of 2 meter and its not unlike them to reach around 2.5 meters. Rather gangly, their limbs are proportionatly a little longer compared to their torso compared to humans. Their defining racial ability is their genetic memory and long lives. Every new Mandi is born with the history and knowledge of his or her race hardcoded into the genes. Due to this, Mandis are very cunning, having evolved strategies and tactics that are quite literally, part of their genetic make up.

    2 Meter tall (6'7''), he towers of most humans and average people with a head at least. His eyes are red, his hair white, much like his fellow Mandi. His grey skin is a so dark as to almost be considered black. His features are sharp, his body thin and lanky.

    Personality: A shrewd dealer, and a very task focused for a young Mandi. Hara isn't unpleasant, he is just frank with what he wants and what he does.

    History: Born to Matriach Hel M'Izdraga of the Mandi Vessel ”Absolvence”, Hara was given the simplest of names. Hara means ”Child” in his tongue, and that was all he was. A child, a nuisence to a woman who was obsesses with powergames and manouvering others around for her benefit. Hara grew up in her shadow, gaining a nasty talent for his mothers cruel games. It was this that actually gained him a it of freedom and in time, respect. He became her errand boy, then her personal enforcer. However, as soon as he was considered adult, he cut his ties to his mother in a very outspoken, and offical manner to strike out on his own as a mercenary and bounty hunter.

    Traits:
    Racial Memory: Hara has the collected memory of all his predecessors locked into his DNA. The trick is to reach in and grab relavant pieces.
    Mercenary Lifestyle; Born to a race that make most their living trough cutthroat proffessions, Hara is a natural fit for the ruthless side of things.
    Power Broker; Even from early age, Hara has helped deal with his Aunts buisness of settling Feuds trough means both intelligent and frightening. He knows how to play others and how to gain leverage.
    Skirmisher: Hara excells in touch and go combat situations where he can disengage and reposition himself for flanking strikes.

    Inventory:
    Mandi "Persuader" Knife; A long, curved blade as his hip, would be considered by most to be a dagger or a short sword.

    The Leverage:
    Referred to fondly as ”Leverage”. This is a High Frequency, Quick Burst, Energy Rifle to big for a human but just right in the hands of a Mandi mercenary. Capable of a full minute of nonstop energy scatter fire, it is mainly a thing for supression and area control. It is incredibly useful to say the least.

    Diplomacy Package; A bunch of knives, sharp objects, burning implements and other things.

    A box of ”Choco Loops” a Terran candy he has a unhealthy obsession with.

    A box of ”Choclate Dreams” another candy he cannot quit.

    The collacted works of terran poetry in audio book format.

@Hellis, Hara is accepted.

This cast is shaping up to be very fun looking. I'm going to add my own player character into the mix, which means that this RP will run a little differently than my others, but the changes will only be noticeable on the GM side.
 
@Drifter , I believe you've forgotten to put Kadan in the "Cast" section. I thought you stated he was accepted?

On another note, do we have a plan for Skype discussions?
 
Why would we do skype?
 
We can do Skype if there's a call for it. If people want to discuss the RP in a faster-paced environment, then I'm happy to facilitate a Skype group.

As for Kadan, he is accepted, but I would just like you to edit his mech into the newly set height standards. With that done, he'll definitely be in the Cast list. :D
 
Alright, cut the height down to 10m
 
I am plagued by indecision and guilt!

So, uh, I'll make posts where I owe, flip a coin, and then I'll be back with a finished CS.
 
@AceSorcerer, thanks for the small change. Kadan is added to the list.

As for you, Mglo, do what you gotta do :D

Appearance:

Personality:
Kin is a survivor. Everything she does she does to make sure she lives just one more day. Some may call her cruel or coldhearted, but she's not. She just knows the importance of maintaining her status of alive. Because the alternative scares her like nothing else can...

History:
You don't survive as long as Kin has and not loose a few things along the way. She's lost her fair share. Parents. Siblings. Friends. Dignity. It's all been lost, at some point. How was never an issue, for her. She just kept moving. It was all she knew. All she ever knows. All she ever wants to know. Any other life is terrifying, to her. But it doesn't matter. The past is never as important as keeping blood pumping just one more day...

Traits:
Trail Merchant:
Kin has a knack for bartering, be it in the desert or in the cities. She will never take an offered price, always wanting to go just a little bit lower. And she is generally able to work enough magic to get that wish.

Gun-Fu: Valuing speed and accuracy over strength, Kin fights like she was in a movie, always moving in one direction or another. She's accurate enough to hit her target while on the move, but can hit nearly anything while standing still.

Survivalist: Kin has an intimate knowledge of survival techniques for any environment imaginable. She can last for months out in the desert with nothing but the skin on her back.

Martial Artist: While strong at long range, Kin truly excels in close quarters. She is a master of a martial art that she refuses to explain to anyone. However, it appears to focus on forcing an opponent to tire themselves out before taking them down with a single, powerful strike. Due to this, her stamina is awe inspiring, and she knows how to manage it well.

Name: Leon Corvinus
Age: unknown looks to be around 25-35
Height:
Human form weight: 181 lbs
Leonin form weight: 600 lbs
Weight:
Human form height: 5'9"
Leonin form height: 7'11"
Species: Leonin shifter

Basically a human that can transform into an anthropomorphic lion and back again at will. Has the strength of a pride of lions, as well as the other physical capabilities, in either form. The Leonin hail from the planet Pandora in the Leo nebula and are humanoid lions. They are capable of speaking any language and are fierce hunters. The Leonin are also highly intelligent and capable of making battle plans to defend themselves and their clans. The Leonin shifter is the result of what happens when a human and a Leonin, for one reason or another, have children. Some Leonin shifter children take on a form of lycanthropy and loose their minds with their first transformation. The average Leonin stands on at 7'11" and weighs about six hundred pounds of pure muscle as does a Leonin shifter in their transformed state, but the human form of a Leonin shifter varies from one shifter to the next. However, they all share one thing inn common. A very fit, athletic build and a dusty head of hair. The males are typically found to have dark brown hair. Leonin also live nine times as long as humans and so do Leonin shifters. Those with the blood of a Leonin shifter also age slower and heal faster than a normal human.

(Picture plus a few sentences to discuss things not portrayed, identifying markings, or differences from the source is my preferred method, but you can do text only or picture only. I'm not entirely picky.)

Personality: Leon is loyal, courageous, blunt, Loves a good fight, horrid sense of direction, strong willed, stubborn, persistent, let's his opponents come to him, hates weaklings, a bit reckless. But deep down he has a good heart.

History: Leon hails from the Leo nebula from a planet called Pandora. The son of Lucian who is the son of Craven the Lord of the plains on his home planet heard a different calling since being the next leader was out. Being a Leonin shifter among Leonin made life difficult when every Leonin around him seen him as a snack instead of one of their own, so Leon left on the first shuttle going off planet with his three weapons, made his way to an outpost for bounty hunters and joined the first merc crew he seen. And he hasn't looked back ever since seeing as the pay was good and he got to cut loose on a job. Leo the lion, as some might refer to him as, came across his mech while on a job and actually took it from their target....after mauling the unfortunate convict. Left the target's head intact, but the rest of him....not so much. The criminal was worth more dead anyway, so it was a win win. They got more cash for the job and Leon got a mech of his own.

Traits:
Leonin form: able to shift from good human form to that of an anthropomorphic lion completely or partially. Also able to use the strength and reflexes of a Leonin in either form. Transformations are not exactly that quick and can be horrifying to watch. Much like how a werewolf transforms can bring chills running down someone's spine. And is just as painful. (Think van helsing meets underworld for the transformation)
Lion senses: sharper hearing, taste, smell, eye sight and night vision in either form.
Combat specialist: able to fight at any range with any weapon or no weapon at close range.
Multi-lingual: able to understand and communicate in multiple languages
(Please give yourself four custom traits. Keep in mind that there is more to this RP than just combat. Helpful skills, proficiencies, etc. will be accounted for here.)

Inventory:
Left fang of Fenrir: a multi-form, multi-role firearm with a voice selector switch that controls the weapon form, fire rate, and ammo type. Transformation times vary from one gun form to the next depending on the type of gun it's transforming from and the type it's turning into.
  • Right fang of Fenrir: a multi form melee weapon that also has a voice selector switch that controls which close quarters combat weapon it takes. Transformation times vary from one form to the next.
Both fangs cannot transform into explosive weapons. They also both use a bit of nanotechnology to assist them with their transformations.
Nidhogg gauntlets: A pair of triple form gauntlets that uses claws and blades in one form, high velocity monomolecular wires in its second form and a kinetic impact twin barrel shotgun in its final form.
A nano tech med kit
Scout drones that look like insects.

(Basic items such as food or low-tech tools can be included if you so wish, but most importantly, items such as weapons, gadgets, or drones should be kept track of here.)

Designation: Ragnarok

Height: 45 ft tall twice as long.

Weight: 137.5 tons (mainly the armor and main weapon)

Appearance:

Model: BCM-G

Equipment:

Charged particle Canon (system is hidden within the entire mech. The business end is housed within the mouth and throat while the rest of the system runs the rest of the length of the mech with cooling vents in the tail. The system also has anchors on the mech's feet to keep the mech stable when using the C.P C. The weapon also takes some time to charge up before it is fired and a good amount of time between firing the weapon to cool it down.)
Thrusters (capable of limited flight also a decent counter for the C.P.C. if the footlocks are damaged or destroyed)
SMG mounted on the snout right in front of the head blade. The weapon is loaded with H.E.A.P. (High Explosive Armor Piercing) rounds.
(To be added later: blades on the back shown in picture, twin cannons shown in picture, 3-d tactical hologram radar that scans around the mech in all directions for hundreds of miles. This radar shows a miniature display of any enemy in blood red and any ally in emerald green. The displays can be enlarged to view visible weapons and equipment.)

@Daws Combine, Kin is accepted. I'll update the OP once I get near a reliable source of internet.

@Daws Combine [BCOLOR=#ffffff]Did you mean: Gun Kata[/BCOLOR]

 
You tell me. I just couldn't help but notice the similarities of the description of the trait and the fighting style of the Clerics from Equilibrium.
 
Name: Theluji 'Lu or Luji ' Kuongezeka

Given the difficulty many find in pronouncing Luji's last name, the young male often goes by an alias or a shortened version of his name. For example, Lu Kuong or Luji Zeka.

Age: Born December 15th, 44 years old. (In human terms) Appearance wise he looks to be in his 20s.

His species longevity is higher than the Mandi. They tend to live unbelievably and depending on who you ask, unbearably, long lives. But the species as a whole matures slowly. As far as the rest of his species is concerned, Luji is still quite the infant and given their low numbers, his bounty hunting is a cause of concern.

Height: 5'10 and growing.

Weight : 140 lbs

Species: Opyeih

The Opyeih are a endangered species given how slow their young take to mature. Often quite over protective of one another, if you mess with one Opyeih, expect it's whole clan at your front door by morning. They are a matriarchal species the females of their kind being the more rational and level headed ones, the males tend to be single minded and aggressive. As a whole they tend to be crafty and manipulative in nature doing whatever they need to do to ensure the continuation of their species, but outwardly they seem to be quite naive and far too trusting. Child like. Eager to make allies. The Opyeih are extremely secretive, and to gain one's trust is nearly impossible, but once done, you have a ally and friend for life. Many other species have distorted views of the Opyeih and it's hard to distinguish what is true and what isn't, one species claims that the Opyeih eat their prisoners of war and cannibalize traitors, another species claims that the Opyeih are nothing but dumb and pretty cattle who are neutral in all things. It's best to form your own opinion.

Physically, the Opyeih are bipedal creatures that have long limbs and short torsos. They are all born with hairless tails and it's up to their parent to decide if they want their child's tail docked at birth or not. With time tufts of hair grow on the end of the tail, hiding the curved hook like bone that protrudes at the tip. The bony tip of the Opyehi's tail can become extremely sharp so often they're capped with rubber to prevent injury. Their skin darkens as they age, the more pale the Opyeih, the younger they are. Warm brown/tan skin tones indicate that the Opyeih are at the prime of their lives and black skin indicates a elderly Opyeih. Their teeth are extremely sharp and pointed given that they are natural born carnivores. They can stomach fruits and vegetables, but it's never filling. Given that their teeth are extremely sharp, the Opyeih have the ability to retract their teeth. The sclera of their eyes is black, but the iris color ranges from Opyeih to Opyeih. The tails of the Opyeih aid in balance. As far as running is concerned, their bodies are crafted for speed rather than endurance, their tails helping them to make sharp turns.

A mature Opyeih is quite the force to be reckoned with. Innate savagery coupled with such intelligence can be quite dangerous. Luckily most Opyeih's tend to be peaceable.
Appearance:

Luji is pale skinned given his age, he has a very sharp and angular bone structure and almond shaped eyes. He has pale blonde, nearly white hair that he keeps short and neat sporting a undercut from time to time. He keeps his face clean shaven, a deep scar on his upper lip a resulting injury from his own tail. Black scleras are accented by burnt orange irises, his body type lithe and slightly muscular. Luji has no tattoo's or piercings, but he once let his little cousin braid shells and beads into the hair of his tail and hasn't gotten around to taking them out. His cheeks are somewhat round but not enough to be too noticeable. His features on his planet are considered to be quite plain and boring, nothing special to look at. Unnoticeable. But he's come to realize that it's the exact opposite out here. Luji keeps his tail coiled around his leg and hidden from view unless he's in the privacy of his own bedroom.
Personality:

Luji keeps to himself, rarely speaking unless spoken to. He doesn't do it to be rude he simply doesn't see the point in wasting his breath. The male has the characteristic curiosity of a Opyeih his age, said curiosity has often led to the pressing of red buttons. Often his disinterest is mistaken for shyness. Luji enjoys people watching and causing mischief, simply to see what would happen. Unlike the males on his planet, Luji has a firm hold on his anger and aggression but if you press the right buttons its a different story. Luji had decided to become a bounty hunter so he could travel as much as possible, wanting to see more than the planet his parents had tried to confine him to. Luji has a soft spot for children despite his avoidance of them. Overall Luji seems to have a nonchalant attitude about everything with the exception of food.

History: Theluji was born on his home planet Olsir in the midst of a winter storm. His mother nearly died due to a loss of blood. She was on bed rest for quite some time, leaving him in the incapable hands of his father. Theluji can honestly say that he was born to loving parents whose only crime was being overprotective, as their only child he was spoiled with their attentions and love but kept locked away. He developed a immune deficiency due to a lack of exposure to certain germs, never being allowed to go outside or do anything his parents considered to be dangerous, such as own a pet or play a contact sport. Despite that, he managed to find the time to explore on his own, sneaking out at night and taking quick shuttles to nearby planets. He caught wind of bounty hunting on the shuttle when he was 15 years old and since then he's set out to do just that.


Traits:

> Iron Stomachs: Opyeih's can ingest just about anything, from rocks to poisons. They have multiple stomachs, each with varying degrees of acidity--Opyeih vomit can melt through steel. Anything that their stomachs cannot melt down are regurgitated and covered in a thick mucus to prevent injury to the esophagus on the way back up. Luji hides precious items in one of his four stomachs such as small weapons and jewels. He can out eat anyone and never gain a pound.

> Word Smith: If you're looking for a professional liar, look no further. Luji can make even the most far fetched ideas sound like the honest to god truth. This aids him in manipulation but on occasion said lies have come back to bite him in the ass. He can just about convince anyone of anything.

> Fast Learner: Luji never makes the same mistake twice and that's with anything. However he's not too eager to learn. So long as he has a decent teacher, Luji can pick up just about anything. From languages to fighting techniques.

>Persuasion: A nick of the sharp bone of his tail, depending on the size of the victim and the length of contact can make them susceptible to persuasion. The victims are injected with a thin clear liquid into any major artery and after a minute or so, they're putty in his hands. However bone to bone contact yields a different result. If the bone of his tail permeates any one of the spinal bones, he's granted access to any and all memories but he and the victim are temporarily immobilized for a hour or so.

Inventory:

~> Plasma grenades
~> Health Scanner
~> Tracking Devices

~> A heavy duty wire with a carabiner attached to it so it anchors to any object that it wraps around.
~> A Sandwich
~> Lozenges to help with sore gums.



MECHA

~> All-terrain Quadrupedal Scout Vehicle, The Wild Dog Model.
~> 7 meters Tall
~> 3 tons.

~>Armed with a light weight shoulder machine gun capable of firing multiple rounds.
~> Roughly 50 drones. These drones are small, the size of actual Wild dogs. They're only armed with trackers (the tail), a camera and a self destruct mode. The 'PACK' as Luji calls them, are made to scout smaller areas and transmit back to the Mecha.
~>The Radar and all that jazz that comes with the scout model.




*Ignore most of the notes on this picture. The Wild Dog model that Luji uses is composed of more heavy duty materials and far larger. Easy to Customize and the parts are easy to replace and upgrade.

My "PC" is incoming, and I'll share some information about a few NPCs who will be important in your first mission and beyond.

After that, and after I update the OP with all of these new accepted characters, the IC will be up. You can expect that by tomorrow night.

@Victor Markov, keep plugging away at that WIP.

@BlackOrchid, Luji looks very interesting. Accepted.

@Forrest, you still interested? We'd love to have you aboard.
