This is the Theme for our little tale:
In 2182, a scientist by the name of Cuthner began working on an Experimental ship with what he called the future of Faster than Light Interstellar Travel. He postulated that instead of amping the drive cores of a ship's engine to pull the ship to FTL speeds therefore moving the ship, that instead space itself could be moved around the ship as it remained in a constant stasis field. He spent 30 years building his vision with grants from the UEP, United Earth Parliament, and ignored all else in order to see his vision come to reality, even his young son and daughter.
By 2227, the ship was almost ready, however, a malfunction in the Pulse shaft killed Cuthner, and having no one else to finish the ship his children were the ones who completed its construction. Harboring resentment for him over abandoning his duties as their father for this ship, they named it Ancestral Sin, and were among the crew of its maiden voyage.
On August 9th, 2231, the Ancestral Sin was given its first voyage to test its experimental Warp Drive, a round trip to Betelgeuse, Alpha Centauri and back to its Launch point near Io. Everything went fine on its first warp to Betelgeuse and the receiving port recorded no malfunctions, however when the ETA for the Ancestral Sin was up for it to appear at the Star Port near Alpha Centauri, there was no sign of it. Back at the Landing Dock on Io, a strange apparition was seen that appeared to be the Ancestral Sin covered in blood and headed on a collision course into the Asteroid Belt, and a transmission was heard that could only be described as Monstrous roars and bloodcurdling screams.
It isn't known what happened to the Ancestral Sin nor what happened to its crew of 480. Officially the ship is labeled as destroyed by a rogue Comet near Alpha Centauri and that no crew survived. It has been recorded as the worst catastrophe of Space Travel in Human Records.
The year is now 2468, Humans are part of a council including 4 other Sentient Extraterrestrial races; The Karri,The Genesians, the Dovus, and the Vakirians. They live in peace together and often help each other take care of problems with races that aren't with the Council. However, today the three races will have to come together to solve a bigger problem......the return of the Ancestral Sin......
Small-line Species Information:
Karri; The Karri are cold blooded Humanoids who resemble Humans in almost every aspect except their amphibious skin and frog like eyes. They remain in a temperature suit when not on their own world's tropical Climate. The Karri evolved on a Garden world that had once been a post garden planet. This world lies in the Karri named Rennaka System, a world which they call Kissadin, (English Translation: Sacred Home) and has shown archaeological evidence of Orbital Bombardment dating back 70 Million GSY, Kissadin, though not identical to Earth, is almost like a sister planet, though it's features have a more prehistoric rainforest aesthetic to it. The Karri believe that their world specifically though they feel the same of all life bearing worlds are symbiotic beings, with the planet needing life as much as the life that live on it need it. Because of this their technological advances were not made on their own world after they gained the ability to leave it, and were instead made on dead planets in the same system. Their religious beliefs for those that follow them, involve a great deity and his family, Ulakkas or, The Martyrs, who let themselves be broken into atoms and spread across the world of Kissadin which allowed life to flourish, and each day at sunrise noon and sunset they who believe in the Great Martyrs, give their thanks to the spirits of Ulakkis whose spirits are said to protect the inhabitants of Kissadin.
Dovus: Avian or Saurid in nature, they are humanoids who evolved on a gravitationally strange planet. Their continents were not settled in an ocean, rather, their oceans were settled on continents that floated high above the actual surface crust of the planet. Archaeological research has determined that this is artificial levitation left in effect from a species that suddenly disappeared well over 100 Million GSY ago. The Dovus are a highly religious species, who believe Lokestuna, or the Ancient Travelers, seeded their world with the life that had evolved into them, they worship the Lokestuna as gods and believe that one day they will meet their creators during the momentous event of finding where they believe the Lokestuna have hidden for so many eons. Their Homeworld, Lokestra, (English: The Gift of the Ancient Ones) lies in the Karri named Illakis system.
Humans: Self Explanatory
Genesians: These are Humans, spliced at birth with the traits of species that are existing and those thought to be Extinct. They are in a way Super Humans, though not necessarily muscular they are comparable to the character of Captain America, i.e. heightened strength, heightened agility and stamina, senses elevated, however unlike Captain America, some exhibit more alien traits, though they remain undevelopable to any powerful degree, these unique traits coupled with the super human aspect of their being make them useful allies or horrible enemies.
They were first engineered on Earth in 2249 CE, and though they are now considered their own species, a majority are still engineered instead of born Naturally though Natural births of Genesians are becoming more common.
Jinenja: The Jinenja are nearly identical to humans, they're skinnier, and shorter, but stronger, more agile and much more intelligent. They are known for their technological advancement, martial arts expertise, and scientific knowledge. Their only significant aesthetic difference from humans is that their hair is usually a distinct blue or purple and sometimes a bright green. The Jinenja is the name they call themselves in their own tongue, but to english speaking races, they are called the Vakirians.
They evolved on the planet Kaliri in the Denital System, from their very beginnings of their existence they had shown an aptitude for technological applications. They began like all species would believing in a pantheon of deities who craved love and praise, but still during their bronze age period, had broken away from idealistic beliefs like religion though some still believe in the beings they call Jinegarra, or the Forgers. The Vakirians have a rich history of advancement over their 10 Million GSY (Galactic Standard Year) Existence, they were the first to colonize other worlds, and with the appearance of and short war with the Karri, found a massive fortress in space. The two species rebuilt it and named it the Sympalacia, the heart of Galactic Parliament, though the species who dwell on it call it different names, Aresti for the Dovus, Kalissida in Karri tongue, Yakolira for Jinenja respectively.
Recorded Extinct Races:
Zykurans: Not much is known about them, They existed between 100 to 50 Million GSY ago, and violently vanished over an estimated course of 3 GSY. Their Technology is unmatched and highly valuable though much of what is found is too badly damaged or otherwise nonfunctional. It is not known what world they evolved on, though mummified remains of several individuals have been found on the Sol System Planets of Mars and Earth. It is thought that some individuals may still survive somewhere hidden very well from the eagerly searching eyes of Existing species.
With the return of the Ancestral Sin, a Recon/Salvage crew has been called to investigate the ship look for survivors and try to figure what happened two hundred years ago. The crew is multiracial, including Dovus Karri and Vakirians with the Humans. Three Ships have been assigned by the Central Council to search the Ancestral Sin, the Ascending Grace, the Skellius, and the Running Rabbit. Each Ship has a crew of 2-4.
The Salvage crews:
By the order of the Central Council, three ships are to dock to different airlock bays along the length of the Ancestral Sin.
These ships are the GMSC Ascending Grace, the SSC Skellius, and the Private Contracting Crew of The Running Rabbit.
Galactic Marine Salavage Corps Ascending Grace:
Crew: 4
Scientific Salvage Corps Skellius
Crew: 3
The Running Rabbit:
Crew 4
My Characters:
Name; Arakido "Ark" Turlik
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Species: Vakirian (Though unknown to him he also has Zykuran DNA)
Personal History Codex File: Raised on Colony 385 Beta orbiting Paralla, Joined the Council Alliance at 16 as a tech Specialist and soon was appointed to Chief Technological Analyst of Derelict Stellar Vessels. Experienced Combat aboard a Derelict Vessel called New Dawn, over taken and lived in by Pirate Dovus, and ended up being the only survivor. Shortly Afterwards he was made Front line Tech Analyst for high risk salvage and rescue operations. Now works as a salvager for hire with the crew of the Live-in ship the Running Rabbit, who've been his only real friends.
Enhancements: A Bio-server or Personal Terminal unit is standard issue for Tech specialists, not only does it allow them remote access to computing systems within their own mind and holographically project a computing interface by which they can do their jobs, it also allows special abilities to be used in combat by projecting digital thought process into the physical world. He is also enhanced with digital muscular acceleration, making his reflexes faster, physical strength boosted, his cardiological and respiratory systems stronger.
Personality: He's stubborn, and loyal to his former CO Fate. He can be awkward in normal conversation because of his background with technology, and thus has little experience talking with flesh and blood people. He's also quick to dispense sarcastic slings at people confront him or make silly mistakes. Often bashes those who are religious, viewing them to be placing hope and faith into what he calls severely outdated data, preferring instead to have his questions answered by science. He's friendly but can come off as off putting because of his lack of social skills and tendency to over analyze situations that don't call for it.
Assigned Ship: He's a permanent crew member of the Running Rabbit
Skills: He's extremely Adept at technology and science. Aside from that He is combat trained and can fight his own battles if need be. With his Bio-server he can project digital distortion waves or what he calls the Warp Wave. As the Digital Wave is emitted it smashes and rips apart organic molecules and overloads synthetic circuitry. Another Ability of his Bio-server is a Pixel Blade, an elbow blade that shifts out of a digitization to a physical blade of heated pixels. In addition he can create a force that flows with a physical punch, something he calls the Mach punch. He can create a defensive distortion that takes a hell of a force to break through but it only lasts a short time.
Appearance: In keeping with his natural Vakirian heritage, he is skinny, and short. He has a blue hue to his hair and his skin is a light tan. His eyes are grey and he's most often seen in dirty tattered clothes mostly getting ripped up by fights and accidents with tech he happened to be working on. He is usually seen with a couple days unshaved looked to his face, and can often be seen smoking a cigarette. (Picture will come later)

Her parents killed, at age 14 she fled Kissadin no longer wishing to live on a world with such a terrible memory for her. For 3 years she lived as an apprentice to a kiosk chef on the Sympalacia, but halfway through her 17th year of life, she joined the GAMC (Galactic Allied Marine Corps) A Terran led military that carried out tougher missions than the other branches of Service. She proved her mettle and became a high ranking combat officer before she tired of endless combat and bloodshed. She retired from combative positions but still remained in the Marines, transferring instead to a unit specialized in reclaiming derelict military ships or government vessels.
Enhancements: Koda is fitted with a reflex booster that allows her perception of passing time to slow down, while in real time her physical movements are actually accelerated. This helps her to quick draw better in fire fights.
Personality: She is distant, and it almost appears as if she is an emotionless gynoid, when in fact she simply does not desire for others to know how she feels or get any sort of connection to her. At times her character breaks, and her voice clearly displays her emotions. This mask was donned when her parents died, and no one has been able to keep her from recomposing herself underneath this mask after a breakdown.
Assigned Ship: Commanding Officer of the Ascending Grace
Skills: She's trained extensively in combat, her training forged into experience through extreme situations that strained both her physical form and emotional health. She has self taught herself how to pilot small space craft, and also how to hack secure databases. In accordance with her combat training she was taught by humans to be able to use anything as a lethal weapon, and can.
Appearance: Koda stands at about 6'1 SEM (Standard Earth Measurements) and weighs about 137 lbs(Standard Earth Units) She looks like a human, only her skin is slightly green, while around her eyes are black rings that end with lines that travel down her cheeks. Her lips are black and pouty, while on either side of her face between the black lines under her eyes and her pointed ears are black spots. Her skin is soft yet seems to always have a slickness to it given her amphibious nature. Her figure is feminine, and she is considered by people who have seen her, to be attractive.
