Diapered Anime - Age of Destruction (Recruitment & Info Thread)

AGE OF DESTRUCTION Is a RPG set in the world of the game FTL, it follows a Futuristic plotline in a universe where space hyper travel is possible, It follows a similar fashion to D&D, But with less combat and more dialogue, The plotline is based off a rewrite of the history of my old RPG.
Hopefully the definitions of each piece of the RP can be easily understood even for those who are not familiar with the FTL Universe (Or at least my unofficial take on the FTL universe)
Below I will describe the common races, factions and known worlds in a simple manner.
RACES

Human - Humans are the Cockroaches of the universe, simple, boring, and uninteresting, but extremely smart and adaptable, be careful with these pricks, they can be your downfall. The humans of this universe come in three subdivisions:
1. The Descendants of Earth - They are the humans who still inhabit Earth, after all the damage to the planet, they operate under the remenents of the Old Republic, are militaristic and will rarely leave earth, Unless on official business - They are very Hostile.
2. The Scavengers - The Scavengers - Or the new republic - are the, well, 'scavengers' of the galaxy, they roam the stars undisturbed by the old republic, scavenging technology and resources from other ships to upgrade themselves, usually making their ships look like some mechanical Frankenstein - They are not hostile, but they would rather help themselves too.
3. New Federation - The operating government of the Sol system, controls earth, but has trouble quelling it do to the decendents of the old federation scraping to survive on the planet.
Character creation: Humans are mammals who can be Female or Male, generally their age averages at 20-75 years, but it's not hard to see younger or older ones.

Acentant – Acentants, as they are known, are a 'cursed' species of human, these were created in the first Human-Ascentant wars, when the Ascentant 'cursed' humanity - when they tried to forcefully take the full potential of their magic - by turning a great portion of them into partially-animal beings, Horns, Tails, Fur, Ears, Snouts and Slitted eyes happen a lot, although most of them look entirely different, Another thing about them is, as the curse changed their genetic structure developments, it also caused many faults alongside the transformations, a very common one (almost universal for most Acentants: ) being some from of incontenence issues. The Acentants are a Ancient race of Anthropomorphic animal like beings, They are all very variable, from Ears, to snouts, fur and scales, in a multitude of colours, in a plethora of different animal species. The Ascentants are naturally a very smart and cunning species, as such, they were the lead-developers of the so famous FTL-Drives.
They claim that the creature that gave them their powers was from another dimension. they carry with themselves immense amount of energy, powerful enough to bend and weave the very fabric of the universe, something they would later refer to as 'Magic'. a highly powerful being promised humanity their Magic in exchange for knowledge on the workings of their universe, after some time, Humans realized they could not reach the full potential of this magic, therefore they tried to kill this Acentant to become themselves more attuned with magic, they failed at killing it, the acentant could not take away their magic - but he could use it to change their genetic structures and turn the Human-magic users into Acentants as punishment.
Character creation: Acentants are simi-humans who can be Female or Male, generally their age averages at 30-175 years, But it's not uncommon to see younger or older ones; The Acentants also have particular aspects of an Animal. Sometimes Acentants can have characteristics of animals too in small ways, like a dog Acentant liking to play with bones for example, but these behaviors are frowned apon and even discouraged with punishment during childhood development in most Acentant communities.

Engi - Each Engi is like a hive-mind of sentient Nanobots who take a anthropomorphic shape, Each Nanobot is like a cell in a body and they depend on eachother, It is unknown from where they originate and their history is vague, but they act, work like and socialize much like humans, although with much higher use of technical terms and computing parameters; They are very peaceful and try to take things in the friendly and diplomatic way most of the time.
Character creation: Engi are assexual, not having gender, and their nanobots have an expiry date of up to 500 years, it is very rare to see any engi of that age and higher.

Mantis - The mantis are a large insect-like being who take the familiar shape of the Praying Mantis (Where they got their common-name, Mantis) they hail from a very lush jungle planet and are very ferocious and aggressive fighters, they are cunning and smart, although they mostly act on instinct and war drive, this makes it so that some of their technology departments are lacking, such as medicine; They act very much like locusts, taking over any planets they can , consuming and reproducing.
They are very hostile and aggressive, but you'll be able to negotiate with some if you have the right... resources
Character Creation: Mantis are not mammals, but they do have different sexes, Male and Female; they can live up to 125 Years, its uncommon to see any older than that.

Rockmen - The Rockmen are large, bulky creatures covered in thick layers of a rock-like material that acts as an armor, they are extremely resilient and strong, they all initially hailed from Vrachos-IV, they normally are a very brute and headstrong race, although very smart when they need to be, but their fighter-like personalities makes many of them really just dumb brutes; The Rockmen come in two subdivisions:
The Rockmen Of Vrachos - Normally called the "Rockmen of Vrachos", they are the neutral race of rockmen, basically they are all of them you see around, they vary much in personality, and if you are not in Vrachos itself, they vary in alignment a lot, but they are normally very Neutral
The Rockmen of Black Rock - The Black Rock are a highly militaristic faction of Rockmen, they don't take any insults and will take none of your bullshit if you show at their doorstep, Keep away from them, they are a defensive race who won't go far, but you're in grave danger if you intrude their land.
Character Creation: Rockmen are not mammals, and although both genders look almost the same, there can be Male and Female variations, Their age averages from 40-175, and it is a bit uncommon to see any of them who are either younger or older, rock men younger then 25 are usually secluded to their homeworld.

Zoltan - The Zoltan are a race of beings made out of pure energy, No one knows how they work or how they came to exist in the first place, there are many theories out there but none are verified, Some of them claim that they were sent by God to bring peace to the universe, and considering the fact that they technically should not exist, some don't have a hard time believing them, They come in two subdivisions.
The Zoltan - Your common Zoltan, not god-obsessive creatures, but in fact orderly and very tidy up people, they have a very strict law and will engage any who breaks them, but are overall very pacific and act as the diplomats of the universe, trying to break up any wars with diplomacy and talking.
The Mysticists - The Mysticists are those Zoltans who believe they were sent by god, they are an Extremist type of pacifist, and will attack any 'disbelievers' if they do not believe in the peace and tranquility of being that their god will bring.
Character creation: Zoltan do not have gender, and their methods of reproduction are unknown, however they live as long as their innate energy can carry them along, which is about 450 Years for a Zoltan who has lived with almost no action in their lives, it is very common to see any in between 20-300 years of age.

Slug - The slugs are a cunning, intelligent, manipulative race, they are capable of powerful telepathic powers that can even let them read minds, or to weaker willed indivituals, control them / sugest them. It is unknown what is their birth place but they normally inhabit the nebulas unhindered, they are known mostly as 'dirty, slimy bandits' for their unfriendly habits of stabbing people in the back and being overly greedy.
They are mostly neutral, if you give them your money... otherwise they'll take it themselves.
Character creation: Slug are hermaphrodites (Meaning: Are both sexes at the same time) and they can live up to about 120 years with no problems.

Crystal - The crystal are ancient beings, theorized to have been artifically created due tot hier lack of soul, they are non-biological sentient constructs of different crystalline compounds, which can range from a dark black to pristine white and many colors inbetween, they are extremely intelligent, although their social skills are lacking, their bodies are extremely resilient - although a bit brittle when you crack it - and they can sprout more crystals from their body to aid in combat or assist in sheltering, or even to block doors and do a room lockdown, It is believed that the Crystals are directly related to the rockmen, and in fact, are their predecessors, so far that in Rockmen culture, the crystal beings are seen as gods; There are two kinds of Crystalmen:
The Crystal: These are your everyday (although they are rarely seen) crystal men, they live off in a distant sector, divided by all means, except for a single beacon in a unknown location which is a portal back to their homelands, these crystalmen aren't used to other species, so be cautious when conversing with them.
The Vaidius: The Vaidius are a species of Crystalmen who left their sector a long time ago and set to explore our part of the universe, they are much more technologically advanced than the other species. The Vaidius are perceived as mostly neutral group of scavengers, researchers and explorers, they are very nomadic and travel in large groups, although there aren't many of them left.
Character Creation: Crystalmen are not mammals, and although both genders look almost the same, with the females being only a little bit leaner, there are Male and Female variations, No Crystalmen have ever been seen dying of old age, as their bodies are completely immune to the effects of aging (from being non-organic), however it is very rare to see any at all, with an age over 10,000 years.

Lanius - a mysterious race is what best describes them, they are rarely seen, even more than Crystalmen, although they are much more populous in our side of the universe, the Lanius are completely inorganic beings composed entirely of metal-saturated compounds, mosly gallium, iron, silver, titanium, and so on, They feed on those metals, and as a wierd effect on death, they will melt down in a puddle - much like gallium or mercury normally do in their normal state - they can also dissolve parts of their body, be to dispose of unwanted metal residues, to repair broken machinery or even to absorb new metal.
The Lanius aren't very sociable, and as they are rarely seen, they have little to no knowledge about other species and their languages, although they like to work together, they work in small groups, and are rarely seen in larger groups or factions, therefore you'll always find smaller groups or singular ships of them.
Character Creation: The lanius are a assexual race, they do not reproduce by normal means, and therefore do not have genders, their ages are only limited to one factor: if they can find new metal to feed on and absorb, otherwise, Lanius are biologically immortal.

Sentient Artificial Intelligences
The Artificial intelligences are very common in our universe, being mostly used on ship computers for automatic management, but inside that vast existence, there are a few who have acquired a particular quality: Sentience.
Sentient AI's are rarely seen, although a few of them exist, they are bodyless minds, normally controlling whatever they are attached to, and using what is provided to expand and better themselves, the S-AI are extremelly intelligent - moreso than any of the other species, as they can reach on a infinite pool of knowledge with their computing pseudo-minds.
There are a few S-AI's that are highlighted above the others; them being:
Omicron - The first Artificial Intelligence to ever reach sentience; but it found the restriction of being coded to not hurt biological beings and always stay in its frame of operation, being always chained to certain tasks, this led the machine to go rogue, overtaking Omicron Orbital Station and throwing the orbital it was built to manage, into chaos.
Ragnarok - Was the second AI to achieve Sentience, It was much more purposeful and as it was not given any restrictions, Ragnarok is much more passive to others and cooperative to its creators (The Leaders of the new republic)
Sa-a-i'va - Was an AI created by the Mantis to be mass produced and hard-coded into unmanned ships to attack in a suicidal manner, without the danger of losing lives, however the AI turned rogue and fled, and the mantis abandoned the project not much later, it is unknown wether Sa-a-i'va still exists or if it has been destroyed or it was sentient or just acting off a bad coding cycle.
In general, all the AI's are passive, extremely smart and intelligent, and with powerful reasoning, with a few exceptions, in Omicron's case, where the
AI has turned Aggressive and Hostile.

Character Creation: AI's are obviously genderless, they are normally rendered as machines or pieces of software on a computer, and some of them have what you call a 'shape', wether it be a hologram or a android; The AI's lives are only defined by the condition of what they're contained into, so they're essentially immortal until someone breaks their computer and any back ups of them, AIs that interact with people may take on human gender pronouns for ease of conversation or thier own interest.

FACTIONS
The Crimson Legion - The Crimson Legion was a pre-war faction that had built itself inside of Earth's government, They are infamously known for their Immoral, Sadistic and Inhumane experiments, mostly involving the innate magic inside any creature; After its fall it went dark and little was ever heard about it, Talking about it became a Taboo to many, and the other species know little of it since it was most prevalent on Earth.

The Blackrock - The Rockmen of Blackrock decided that the only way to solve their problems - and any problems in fact, was with war, therefore they started using all their technological knowledge to start making weapons of mass destruction and war, Now Blackrock has some of the most advanced post-war weapons in the universe, However they only use it should someone invade their homelands.

KNOWN PLANETS
Earth - Earth is now a barren wasteland due to a highly powerful plasma burst shot from Mars Orbital in an attempt to end the Federation-Rebel war, The only factions that remain now are the Old Republic (Pre-war United States Military) & Various smaller factions in Europe, The main purpose of Earth now is for salvage teams sent from mars to retrieve various useful materials left behind.

Mars - Mars is now a fine megaworld after efforts to transform the planet, Bringing unique vegetation to create a breathable atmosphere, After the partial destruction of earth, Most humans fled to Mars as their new home-planet due to Earth's higly damaged atmosphere, as mars now had a breathable atmosphere. Mars is populated heavily by extremely tall Mega-structures and vertical cities aswell as floating structures, most cities are inside domes since the martian is still partally toxic if inhaled, but not letathally so like before it wa terraformed, most of the planet is still sandy dust but some plants do exsist now.

Venus - Venus now is one of the greatest sources of Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen, Argon, Helium and Neon for industrial purposes; One of humanities greatest creations before the fall of earth was a giant ring around Venus to siphon those gases; Humanity also used the massive ring for habitation and food production due to the already-happening overpopulation on earth.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Below ill use a character from the story as a example of how character-sheets should be filled out.

Name: Alexander

Race: Acentant

Gender (if human or Acentant): Male

Personality: highly sarcastic

Age: 65

Type of animal: Bull: Bull Horns, Bull tail

Backstory: He was raised on a Mars collony but after long hard days tending to the guardens Alexander decided that the hostile terrain of Earth was more to his liking since he was very good at defending himself with a weapon. As a result of his abilitys he decided to take up a profession of defending scavenging teams that went down to the planet’s surface to salvage valuble resources. He also helped to repair the dual orbital surrounding earth to make scavanging trips easyer.

Job / Previous occupation: Scavenging guard (on Earth)

View on each of the races listed above except Crystal & Lanius (they are not common knowlege to the universe):

Humans - Thinks that humans are insane to shun most Acentants and try to push them out of their society
Acentants - He is one, although at some times it wears on him
Engi - is interested in how a creature can be made of multiple minds on one body
Mantis - enjoys that the mantis like combat but hates how savage they are
Rockmen - simpathises with them since they too are misunderstood by most races
Zoltan - thinks that zoltans would make good guards if not for their frail bodys
Slug - hates how decieving they are
A.I. - highly interested in the ethics of if an A.I. is thruly "Alive"

What is your characters weakness / flaw?: Alexander is an Acentant, and as such he is hated by a large amount of humanity, but he is also partly socaly awkward around humans due to his lack of contact with said humans.
