In honor of me getting named Member of the Month, I've decided to try and resurrect one of my now dead RPs, it's one a spent alot of time on and I'd love to give it a go once more (Though this time with a few improvements). So without further ado, come aboard the Star Dragon.

Hello there, come in and sit down we've alot to discuss. Now you've probably come here with the intention of becoming the next big hero of the galaxy, but do you really have what it takes to survive in this Galaxy? Pirates, space beasts that can swallow entire ships, expenses of nothing so vast that they drive men mad from just thinking about it. Well if you really think that you can face all that and more then sit yourself down?
This is a magnificent space adventure that will take you on a journey that will span the furthest stars. But you already got that impression didn't you? Yes now, you'd like a more in depth explanation wouldn't you, well here it is.
The Ship
Dubbed The Star Dragon, usually just called "The Dragon" by it's crew, this vessel is a Misho class star ship, capable of holding up to 100 passengers (not counting the crew), 10-13 assorted small space craft, and at least 70 tons of cargo. It was originally built for hulling cargo, but it's been refitted with some pretty hefty ordinance, on the front it sports 2 massive ion cannons, with 2 plasma turrets on the sides (One on each side) and another in between the engines. Factor in about a dozen torpedo tubes and this ship is more them a match for anything a band of pirates might think of throwing at it
The Galaxy
It's the same galaxy that we've all seen before, just alot more crowded, since the 21st century humanity has discovered dozens of populated worlds, and has branched out to make sure none of them blow the hell out of Earth. We humans are pretty much at the bottom of the food chain among space faring species so it's best to be polite to the species who can help us out. Now you're bound to run into several different Non-Humans but there are really only 3 big name civilizations Outside of Earth you should to know about.
The Eldan: They are probably the most common out of the Non-Human that you'll encounter, they look like very pale humans, with elongated ears and bright blue lines running over their skin in intricate patterns. The first Non-Human species we made contact with, a lucky break for us as they are probably the smartest and kindest people in the universe, due to this naturally kind attitude they make up an alarming majority of medical practitioners and have a military that is all but unused since few ever wish them harm. It's also exceedingly rare to encounter a violent Eldin though if you do they're likely very unstable so steer clear. Along with meeting us first they helped humanity get a foothold on the interstellar stage by giving us guidance with our ship technology.
The Bagori: Now here's a lot you need to keep you eye out for, they are a highly tribal race, with a constantly changing government, tribes always trying to absorb each other or separate over and over again. As a result the Bagori have highly adaptable personalities, you will almost never hear a Bagori complain about something unless it's trying to kill him. Bagori tend to be tall, often standing at around 6'3" with long dark hair, those born on the home-world always bare facial tattoos to signify their tribal alliances and making them identifiable from their off-world brethren.
The Nagar: Now these folks have an interesting story, about a thousand years ago, give or take, a people from a system in the Cygnus constellation began expeimenting with cloning technology. The details are really sketchy from that time so no one knows quite how it happened but the final results were blue-tinted humanoids with brightly colored hair in the spectrum, and large fluffy tails like that of a earth fox, with ears to match. Dubbed Nagar, they were initially created as a means of cheap labor, but after about 200 years their masters realized what a terrible thing they were doing was and freed the Nagar before going into exile somewhere. Since then the Nagar have spread far earning a reputation as hard workers who will comply with most orders given by a superior, though many have learned how to stand up for themselves when mistreated.
Now the Rules of the RP
I am the GM, I am god here, so what I say goes.
All forum rules apply here.
This is NOT a Mature RP, so nothing can exceed what they'd allow on an average TV show or PG-13 movie, if you're unsure about something, PM me before you post. It's better to have to rewrite something then to have the Mods mad at you.
While we will encounter other races the only Non-Humans available for characters are the 3 races above, NO EXCEPTIONS.
due to the nature of the RP I will allow under age characters, 14 at the youngest though (Please keep kids at a minimum, I don't want a ship crewed by nothing but teenagers).
Relationship are perfectly fine (Inter-species relationships are even better) as long as you follow the above rule about content and no underage sex.
Humans are refered to as Terrans by other species.
Dont be afraid to offer suggestions
other then that, just try and have fun.

Height: 5' 10"
Weight: about 140 lbs
Appearance: Krath has bluer skin than usual (approx 3399FF (http://www.colorcombos.com/3399FF-hex-color)), a messy head of naturally spiky, neck-length hair that fades from the same blue at the base to acid green (approx 33FF33 (http://www.colorcombos.com/33FF33-hex-color)) about 2/3 of the way down and then to a highlighter yellow (approx FFDE00 (http://www.colorcombos.com/FFDE00-hex-color)) on the tips. His tail and fox-like ears are colored the same way. He tends towards plain clothes, black cargo pants and a vest usually, but if its required he is comfortable wearing more classy clothing. He also nearly always carries a pair of headphones (http://www.lowyat.net/v2/images/stories/nigel/a402%20(580x435).jpg) that are modified so that he can wear them comfortably (having your ears in a different spot than the headphones were intended to fit is quite problematic).

Name: Irstvah Eilver
Age: approx 27
Gender: Male
Race: Bagori

He seems to have an intimidating presence around him, daring anyone to bother him.
Personality: Irst believes silence whenever possible is best. As such he rarely if ever talks. He will talk when ordered to by a superior or when it is someone he likes however. But, he likes few people, keeping a simple functional relationship with those he works with. This causes him to not know many customs of thew various peoples, preffering to let others deal with them.
Skills: Irst is a general go-to guy. As co-pilot, he know a good number of the ships various workings. He also has special knowledge of how to cook, and is the ships on board Chef. He can make two or three base ingredients into a sizeable meal. (It will evem taste good!) He also does heavy support weaponry due to his size when neccesary.
Other: His dreadlocks are thinner, looking more organized
Name: Crystal
Age: 31
Gender: Female
Race: Eldan
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 120 lbs
Appearance:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v492/Tollaris/4de5518b.jpg
Personality: Crystal is a very caring individual and always tries to diffuse a situation before it becomes violent. If violence must be used she personally prefers to use non lethal methods over outright killing any opposition.
Skills: Crystal is trained in advanced medicinal techniques. She is familiar with various species anatomies and is capable of treating a variety of wounds from minor scrapes up to performing major surgeries if the facilities are available. To assist in her medical practice she has taken the time to learn the languages of several species of the galaxy. She is fluent in Terran, Eldan and Nagaran. She is in the process of learning the Bagorian language currently. Her combat training is limited to minimal hand to hand techniques. She has no formal weapons training of any sorts.
Name: Yuko Vilam
Age: 38
Gender: Female
Race: Nagar
Height: 5'4''
Weight: 127
Appearance: Her ears and tail are a albino white and unable to hold a pigment. Much like how his eyes are red. However her skin his somewhat weak against light, causing her to wear long sleeved clothing.
Casual Garbs: Purple skin tight longsleeves, and usually wearing a light blue skintight -shirt. She rather dislikes the drag.
She does wear a light blue thong, but under her refitted pants. these are tight jeans. But she does have shorts she likes to wear when under artificial light.
She also has amber colored sunglasses.
Flight garbs: (going to need help on this)
Personality: She is in a sense one to either annoy someone to death or be an understood individual. She is protective of his tail, and is one to brush it diligently. Yuko is in a way a pervert. On many accounts, he has been known to drift his eyes down a little as he talks to males, and combined with her uncanny ability to voice many of her thoughts, she occasionally talks to herself.
She is bisexual, and views both genders as beautiful. Occasionally some things she just has to test. Especially males.
Skills:
She is a highly skilled pilot, finding himself aiming to be THE pilot of the star dragon. Something of a force of habit.
While she may be able to hit a target with a automatic weapon, she is a pray and pray person. Though her time in the flight acadamy, and some sports she was involved in, she is primarily hand to hand not the best, but slightly better than many standard infantry.
Great at math
able to stand being in a dress. (I see it as a skill)
Other: Don't change the height of the seat, or touch her tail unless she allows you to.
Name: Felix Sledge
Age: 40
Gender: Male
Race: Human (Terran)
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 210 lbs
Appearance: http://www.longstoryshortpier.com/images/382.jpg Not pictured are a pair of leather fingerless gloves, grey combat trousers and a pair of laced jackboots.
Personality: Sledge is a simple enough bloke who likes his guns and likes his drink. Not a fan of complex discussion or big words he prefers to let his muscles and guns do the talking. He's a Terran and proud of it.
He's generally amiable to the rest of the crew - provided they don't compromise his own safety. He may be in charge of keeping the crew safe but he puts Number One first.
Overconfident, cocky and generally blasé about most situations, Sledge hides any anxiety behind a façade of one-liners and bad jokes.
Skills: Due to a colourful history of freelance security and mercenary work, Sledge is competent with most forms of weapons and security systems and is more than capable of operating the ship's defensive equipment. His official role would be "Chief Security Officer" - but Sledge doesn't really mind as long as he gets to shoot people for a living; and if the rest of the crew manages to make it through alive then that's just gravy.
Despite his proficiency with combat and weapons, his knowledge in other areas is sorely lacking. Although he's got a practical grasp of tactics - strategy and diplomacy are something he doesn't usually consider. He can't spell, write or read as best as the rest of the crew and computer systems and ship controls are beyond him. If something isn't working then he'll most likely hit (or shoot) it to get it working. Similarly, his medical knowledge runs along the old-Earth teaching of "Take a dozen painkillers, a big drink and then man the hell up".
Other: Sledge is a huge fan of old-Earth Spaghetti Westerns, often adopting mannerisms and techniques from them, much to the chagrin of others on board.
Name: Maxwell "Max" Tarat
Age: 28
Gender: male
Race: Human
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 140
Appearance: http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2010/148/d/b/Space_Soldier_by_jackbayliss.jpg
Personality: Max is generally a fairly laid back person, he thinks people should take their jobs seriously but he doesn't stress people out over it. He knows that he is only the captain for as long as his crew allows him to be, so he tries hard to keep from antagonizing anyone he works with even when he does feel like throwing them out an airlock.
Skills: While he has learned many things in order to be an effective commanding officer Max's strength is in combat. He is an expert with smaller weapons, and is often taking part in combat himself along with his men. He's also said to have an unfailing ability to find himself right behind you just as you're saying something about him.
