<div align="center"><strong><em><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">The Space</span></em></strong></div><br/><div align="center">(http://i961.photobucket.com/albums/ae98/GamelordAlec/Dual.jpg?t=1328341200)</div><br/><div align="center">The space is what separates all of the planets in this universe, a massive expanse that is constantly become larger, and larger, and larger, where ships make their passage, where intergalactic travel is made possible. There are varying forms of alien life throughout the galaxy, playable ones are all humanoid. There are also multiple languages, some are common and some aren't. This is where the accepted characters exist and interact with everything else that exists! If you would like to be an alien of some sort, read below under the <strong>Races</strong> section.</div><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong><em>Governments</em></strong></span></div><br/><strong><em>The Democratic Republic:</em></strong>The predominant force in the Known Galaxy (similar to the Milky Way), The DR is an elaborate and well organized collective group of representatives from every inhabited planet in the Known Galaxy that really needs a representative. Whether the representative, known as Ambassador(s), is from that planet or not doesn't matter. To be an ambassador one must have been on the planet for at least five years and have some sort of government power before hand and be elected on that planet to be their ambassador. Each planet can have three ambassadors at any given time to assist one another, however one typically takes the lead of the other two. The DR is also in control of the largest fleet, however it isn't in one place, but stretched throughout the Galaxy. Their senate is located on Prometheus, a massive city planet in the central planetary ring.<br/><br/><strong><em>Othyrs:</em></strong>Synonymous with Smuggling, Mercenaries, Pirating, Drug Trafficking, and Thievery, Othyrs is what the neutral individuals and small groups put themselves into. They do not have a specified military force, however they may or may not control the trade market, spread of commerce and wealth, back alley transactions, and underworld dealings. In fact, some say Othyrs doesn't actually exist, but is a form of anonymity that the underside of civilization cowers behind. It is rumored that Othyrs, with it's possible Galaxy wide contacts, massive number of 'followers', that it is the most powerful force in the Galaxy, if it exists. There are many people that claim to have significant power in Othyrs, but this could all just be a ruse. There is also a rumored head of the Othyrs, but nobody knows for sure of coarse.<br/><br/><strong><em>Xeno Alliance:</em></strong>And anti-human Government/Military that controls, whether willingly or unwillingly, the planets that aren't under DR control. The Xeno Alliance consists of multiple alien races with a hatred of humans. They believe that humans are inferior to other races, come from primitive backgrounds and are still in a primitive state, and shouldn't be allowed access to space when they have problems with each other alone. Seeking to push the DR out of power, as well as push humans into a form of slavery, the Xeno Alliance takes no human prisoners, unless they are of significance, has a powerful fleet that is spread out in small groups of battleships, cruisers, carriers, and fighters. There is the High Emperor(ess), head of the XA, who oversees as much of what is occurring throughout the Galaxy as best he or she can. The capital planet is Teratia, a desert planet not far from Wooj.<br/><br/><strong><em>Everything Else:</em></strong>Planets that are at the far reaches of both the DR and XA have simple planetary governments varying from democracies to dictatorships. These are target planets for smugglers hideouts and similar places far out of DR and XA control, but typically lack a stable government.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><strong><em><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">Races</span></em></strong></div><br/>There are several core races in the Galaxy, however the majority I will leave up for anyone that joins to create backstories, planets, appearances, and abilities. But, if you are making your own race, you must have them equal out two a zero, meaning for every bonus they have compared to humans they must have a negative. I will be the deciding factor whether they will be allowed or not. All races must be humanoid and have humanoid sex organs.<br/><br/><strong><em>Humans:</em></strong>I am not going to explain to much, but they are varying in appearances, strengths, and weaknesses.<br/><br/><strong><em>Duraneans:</em></strong>Resembling humans in height and weight, this feline-like race is identified by their fur covered arms, sides, legs, backs, and tails. They are taller than humans when fully standing, but have a slouched posture that makes them average human in height. They are generally very lithe, agile, and have been known as excellent pilots. From Duran, a planet covered in temperate rain forests and mountains. They have a wide range of eye colors, fur colors, and skin tones.<br/><br/><strong><em>Vogs:</em></strong>Large, amphibious beings known for their highly advanced survival suits. Due to their salamander-like bodies, they require a constant humid environment or else suffer rapid dehydration, thus the use of advanced survival suits. They are on average a foot taller than the average human, with wide shoulders and four fingered hands, large black eyes, and long craning necks. They have naturally powerful jaws, with small razor sharp teeth. They are from the planet Geergesh, a tropical planet with scattered islands. Most structures are landing platforms that go deep under water.<br/><br/><strong><em>Woojkin:</em></strong>Small, strong, insect-like beings. The males are a good foot and a half shorter than the average human, while the females are about the same size as the average human. The males have two eyes, long legs that resemble the build of a grasshoppers, hunched backs, and small wings that aid in their ability to make massive leaps. They are flightless however, have high resilience to adverse environments, and have incredible regenerative capabilities. The females on the other hand have four eyes, long legs that are more like a humans, large dragonfly wings that lay protected under a shell cover on their backs, and a long tail with a sharp point at the end. They are from Wooj, a mountainous, rocky, dry planet with a strong spice trade. They make up the majority of the Xeno Alliance.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong><em>Rules</em></strong></span></div><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Create the following character skeleton, send it to me via PM's, and put Baltimore as the message subject for possible acceptance. </li><li>Posts should be 500 characters or more.</li><li>All Galaxy Wide knowledge will be posted by myself in the Web thread, which is yet to be made.</li><li>If you get into a romantic or sexual scene with one person, it can continue in the thread as long as it doesn't impede everyones ability to post, meaning if it takes up an entire page then you must switch over to a different form.</li><li>Try to use your best grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
