Earth is in the middle of an era where we have in fact made contact with extraterrestrials and travel peacefully among the stars. Not all aliens are good however and humans are kind of... well... fragile. This problem spawned the start of Project Resilience almost 30 years ago. I feel an explanation is in order though.
Most aliens have lived among the stars for many life times and have certain adaptations that help them in the great big vacuum of space. Humans have only started travelling farther than Jupiter some handful of centuries ago. The perk to being human however? The ingenuity. They're clever and inventive and all so different which makes them so great. They can also think outside the box, which is apparently what one great inventor did when he proposed Project Resilience.
Project Resilience is more of an experiment really where the DNA of humans is combined with that of several different species of aliens. All participants are willing of course, except for the unborn child which really can't speak up if it wants to or not. The goal is for the child to keep human traits like the mind, but to also be a bit less breakable when flung out into space. The first successful splicing happened only five years after the project began, and the results are only being harvested now for a certain reason I haven't brought up yet.
The war. Before Project Resilience, it was only a meager little thing several light years away between two planets we called Aeris and Frell. Throughout the years however, it's grown to include several different planets, edging closer and closer to Earth. Now, we're on the border of the fight and if we don't do something soon, life as we know it is likely to be turned on it's head. If we aren't dragged into the fighting, we'll likely be enslaved and Earth could potentially be destroyed. Of course, who do the leaders of this world expect to send out to keep the potential of annihilation at a minimum?
Us.
We are the results of Project Resilience; A series of people who have a wide range of different abilities based on our parentage, and believe me when I say none of us came from the same species of alien. I don't know how sending us off into space after training is going to help Earth, but the least we can do is try. Good luck

The characters, once they're created, will be split onto two ships. The first is called *Little Boy* and is a warship. It has more armor than the second and while it might be a bit slower, it has the power to drive off any unfriendly attackers. It looks big and bulky any might remind one of a toad. The second is deemed *The Curiosity* and is an explorer ship. It is about half the size of the first, but is more easily maneuverable. It has many different tools one can use when discovering new planets and looks kind of like a spider. The two ships can hook together under fire and *Little Boy* can make a shield around them both, protecting both *The Curiosity* and itself.

If you have any questions, please direct them towards me in this thread. I will be happy to answer them.
There's a wide range of different species in this, so if you'd like you can make one up for half of your character's parentage. Just remember that the alien can't be overpowered. No insta-kills or sudden knowledge of something. A character can be really quick to pick up knowledge but they are not omnipotent.
As for character creation, i'm gonna go ahead and post a little character sheet down here for ya.
