				Name: Ixilthuth<br>Player: THM<br>Gender: 'Male'<br>Type: Sentient corporeal humanoid 'freak'.<br>Appearance: Ixilthuth's body is vaguely humanoid in shape. He has two legs, an arm, a chest, a neck, a head...but so many odd bits and bobs. <br><br>In the first place, the left arm is actually three prehensile tentacles. These are about three feet long at any given time, but he can also pull them into a hollow area in his shoulder for protection. They can also extend outwards to a maximum distance of 50 inches. The right arm is much more humanoid in shape. It is very muscular in shape, and all five of his fingers (including an opposable thumb) have an extra joint, making them quite a bit more flexible. <br><br>The next most obvious mutation is the presence of a third eye situated above the head, and forming a triangle with the two other eyes. The 'whites' of his eyes are black, with the colored portion being orange with specks of green.<br><br>The shoulderblades along his back make him look as if at one point his race (or just himself) might have had wings, but either he was maimed or their race just lost that ability over time, and now their's only vestiges of it left. <br><br>His skin is a dull orange color, with black 'freckle' like markings on his face. He is approximately six feet tall, and 320 lbs. This extra weight is due to the flesh of the tentacles, as well as having bones that are 1.4 times denser than a humans. <br><br>Personality: Curiosity is a definitely noticeable trait with Ixilthuth. He is also a highly moral and "good" member of his race, however, their morality system (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlueAndOrangeMorality) is vastly different than a human's. <br><br>Powers: <br>Blindsight: Using a combination of sensitivity to vibrations, enhanced scent and hearing, even in pitch black darkness, Ixilthuth is almost always aware of every living creature within 30 feet of him (Unless their is a wall or other thick, large object in the way; closets are not typically thick enough to count). <br>Acid Breath: A small 'sac' in his mouth stores acid much in the way a snake has a venom sac. This can be effectively 'belched' out into a cloud of acidic vapors that will eat at flesh (Inhalation of it is a death sentence; it will melt the lungs). It can also weaken most metals, but not outright destroy them. After using the Acid Breath, it can not be used for 12 hours, as the body needs time to refill the sac.<br>Weakness: Light Sensitivity: Lights that are greater than 60 watts cause discomfort for him, and brightly lit rooms can be disorienting. Light exceeding the equivalent of 150 watts is physically painful to be near. <br><br>Limits: Vore (I will neither eat nor be eaten), mutilation, scat.

				Name: Kelbra<br>Player: Chocolate Sin<br>Gender: Male<br>Type: Trapdoor spider<br>Appearance: Kelbra is a squat creature on six legs, boasting a pair of grasping arms and a toothless maw, from which a collection of tendrils of varying size and length can emerge and be shaped and reshaped as needed. Its dark colouration and the pads on its feet make it ideal for hiding and waiting for prey, which is good because it's rather slow. It weighs about four hundred pounds, but is capable of supporting itself easily for long periods of time. <br>Personality: Kelbra isn't so much malevolent as hungry. It feeds on the endorphins humans produce, and has found some unique ways of stimulating their production. Its habit is to lie in wait for prey, trap them in its tendrils, and feed. the process is only rarely fatal, and once it is sated, it typically releases its prey, creating an interesting ecosystem. <br>Powers: Kelbra can climb on nearly any surface, much like a spider. As well, its tendrils are coated in a soporific slime designed to subdue its prey for easier feeding. <br>Weakness: However, Kelbra is terrified of fire, and unless driven toward it through hunger will immediately release any prey and make a hasty retreat. <br>Limits: Not a fan of vore or scat, but that's about it that I can think of right now.

				<strong>Name:</strong> Nade Morrie, tends to stick to last name.<br><strong>Player:</strong> Kaiten<br><strong>Age:</strong>26<br><strong>Gender:</strong> Male<br><strong>Nationality:</strong> American, Mixed Ethnicity<br><strong>Appearance:</strong> (I'm in a no picture phase at the moment) Medium build, toned muscles, dark features and black hair. Two X shaped scars over each eyes, left over from a botched experiment to get mechanical eyes to heighten sight.<br><strong>Personality:</strong> Constantly upbeat and carefree. Stays this way even under pressure, though physical changes like sweat can still be seen. Often uses a carefree tone to play down rather uncomfortable events.<br><strong>Role:</strong> Pilot<br><strong>Skills:</strong> Operation and Piloting of most vehicles, specialization on space flight. Degree in Engine and Portal Theory, though tends to not know too many specifics in terms of portals. Close Quarters Combat ability, but past that, few combat abilities at all.<br><strong>Equipment:</strong> <br>Civilian Hunting Knife, modified to be inlaid with a battery that can superheat the blade if needed.<br><strong>History:</strong> Having a knack for operating vehicles and good schooling... but with multiple suspended licenses for everything possible, not a lot of job opportunities were available. In the end, he ended up piloting freighters, transporting whatever was needed from port to port. At first it was boring... but he found a way to make it worth the while, careening his ship through asteroid fields and through gravity wells. Of course, this didn't exactly go well with the company he was working for and he ended up in jail. Or... at least he would have. Despite the things he did, his flying was rather well noticed. Of course it wasn't that easy, the mission itself wasn't exactly the safest. Although it was that or end up in a jail cell, so he took it.<br><strong>Limits:</strong> Scat and similar items are pretty much is my limit.

She's also handy with a gun and is adept in martial arts. <br><strong>Equipment: </strong> Standard issue pistol, shotgun, radio, flashlight, tazer, security-card and police baton.<br><strong>History: </strong><br>For most of Alexis's life she had to carry the heavy burden of a family's expectations, forcing her to endure classes such as ballet, yoga, piano, etc, all in an attempt to refine and educate her. If she failed she would be reprimanded and if she succeeded it was only to be expected. It was an unforgiving way to live with no praise and plenty of punishment and pressure. It was inevitable she'd crack and while she started off gradually, such as switching piano for guitar or ballet for martial arts, it wasn't long before she was on a completely different path from the one her family expected. By the time Alexis was out of school she was off to the military academy.<br><strong>Limits:</strong> http://elliquiy.com/forums/onsoffs.php?u=9262 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/onsoffs.php?u=9262)

				Looking good so far, just a bit more on the ship.<br><br><br>The ISS Venture is divided into five general sections.&nbsp; Command and Control, Science, Crew, Storage, and Engineering.&nbsp; The sections are arranged from the front of the ship to the back, but due to the way the artificial gravity is generated, the interior of the ship has the highest point as the front of the ship.&nbsp; (The front of the exterior of the ship is the top of the interior).<br><br>The ISS Venture is divided into decks, the first five, also the narrowest, are Command and Control.&nbsp; The next ten are Science, mostly laboratories.&nbsp; The next ten are Crew Quarters, the mess halls, washrooms, entertainment rooms, etc.&nbsp; The next twenty are storage, and also the widest.&nbsp; These are made up of massive rooms filled with equipment and goods, and each of these decks is nearly twice as tall as the normal ones.&nbsp; Finally the last ten are Engineering, where life support, the engines, and so on are located.<br><br>The FTL drive is located at the very rear of the ship, between the conventional engines.&nbsp; It has its own compartment, Deck 0.&nbsp; The various life support and artificial gravity systems have multiple redundancies, and can only be shut off if a signal is received both from Engineering and Command and Control.&nbsp; <br><br>Movement through the ship is possible through a number of elevators, or using ladders.&nbsp; There are no stairs.&nbsp; <br><br>Short range shuttles are attached to the exterior of the cargo section of the ship.&nbsp; There are also a number of vehicles intended for use on the surface of a planet or moon that can be loaded onto the shuttles when needed.&nbsp; <br><br>Deck 0: FTL<br>Decks 1-10: Engineering<br>Decks 11-30: Storage<br>Decks 31-40: Crew<br>Decks 41-50: Science<br>Decks 50-55: Command and Control<br><br>When the FTL drive was activated, the ship traveled to an unknown location some light years distant.&nbsp; The navigation computer is unable to determine their exact location but it isn't their intended direction.&nbsp; Due to the FTL engine overloading several systems, the conventional engines are no longer working, and the ship is slowly drifting through space.&nbsp; The computer estimates that they will drift into the orbit of a gas giant in 9 days, and begin to enter a decaying orbit with a point of no return being 6 days after that.&nbsp; If the engines cannot be restarted, or some method of establishing a stable orbit determined, the ship will fall into the gas giant's atmosphere in 15 days.&nbsp; <br><br><br>I will post an IC thread once we have a few more characters submitted here.

				The demons would enter the ship through a portal on Deck 0 (the FTL room).&nbsp; Some were probably dragged from their realm, and may be somewhat confused and pissed off as a result.&nbsp; Others likely chose to enter the portal.&nbsp; <br><br>The crew could start wherever they like that makes sense for the character.&nbsp;
