In a attempt to improve foreign relations the emperor have ordered that the academy start accepting creatures from other sovereign states. In this huge underground complex, located on one of the 10,000 shards that once was the moon of Tauun. new recruits from all over the galaxy will be trained in everything needed to pilot and use equipment of the Empire, as well as military tactics.

Obey the CO-OP(s). Respect the ban. Follow PT2M Rules & NS site policy. Don’t Be That Guy Do Not Godmod. Do Not Metagame. Do Not Run My NPC’s. RSVP Before Inactivity. TG Me or a Co-Op before hand and save us all the hassle. Three days absence will leave your characters open to OP/Co-Op control if plot development is required, and will earn you a strike. Etiquette. Be nice, be respectful, be adult, no one has a right to be rude, and don’t let your having fun stop other people from having fun. Post Expectations Write Quality. Oneliners are very annoying, But I will probably not take any active actions against the occasional Oneliner I do expect everyone to put some effort into their posts Main Themes Tropes and Genres This RP is heavy High Science Fiction influenced. For those who already have a taste for this genre, we welcome you to try our brand of it! New to the idea? Well don't feel left out. Join up with us, see how it suits you and add your own take on to our established Themes. Other players may currently have characters that are part of your favorite genre. Bear this in mind when you apply. Their established PC's, NPC's, and background canon takes priority. If you sign up and are approved but don't post, your character will be dropped from the roster.

[Qwanch]

Character Name : Tycho Destiny
Race : Foxen (Anthropomorphic Fox)
Nation of origin : Qwanch
Appearance (Preferably picture):
Age : 21
Likes : Piloting starships, picking up chicks, and hitting up the shooting gallery.
Dislikes : Theory, talking, reading, sitting still.
Personality : Terse, cold, and aloof--he just wants to get the job done. He flirts with cute girls, but otherwise acts rather than speaks.
Bio : As a Foxen growing up on Planet Qwanch, Tycho dreamed of seeing the universe. He tried hard to master a skill, and found his calling with guns. When he was 10, his father died in a tragic accident involving a spacecraft. To avoid his grief, he shot at targets at greater and greater distances, honing his skill more than ever--eventually hitting the mark every time. He eventually went to the recruiting station for the IWA and was accepted after demonstrating his skill.
Reason for being accepted into the academy : A quick draw and good at duel-wielding laser pistols, his sharp eye was quickly noticed by recruiters.

[Dernland]

Character Name : Connor Michaels
Race: Mutate (Homo Tiberius)
Nation of origin : Dernland Star Empire
Appearance: Stands at 2.3 meters tall (average for someone of his species), pale green skin, otherwise human features

Age : 12 (23 in 'mutate' years)
Likes : Privacy, weapons, fire.
Dislikes : Sharp objects (as he can die from even minor lacerations if left untreated), people, tiberium.
Personality : He is a loner, and for good reason. He is a soldier and will follow any order. Does not speak.
Bio : Connor was born on the colony of Karrion. Not long after his birth, his entire family was killed in an Arachnid raid that decimated his town. He has not spoken a single word since then. Doctors are unsure whether this is because he does not wish to speak, or he has some kind of mental block. Whatever the cause, this silence has not prevented him from excelling in his studies. He enlisted into the Dernland Planetary Defense force at the age of 10 and quickly gained the admiration of both his trainers and fellow recruits. Because of this, he was selected to be part of a soldier exchange program with the Tophat Empire.
Reason for being accepted into the academy : Excellent track record, personal recommendation from the Dernland Imperial Sky Marshal himself.

Taggidy Tag. One question, is there a limit on the species? Or can it be ANY species as long as they're able to wield weapons and such?

Taggidy Tag. One question, is there a limit on the species? Or can it be ANY species as long as they're able to wield weapons and such?

i do not have a particular limit in mind, but will not accept "The reincarnation of death" or a species that can kill with just a touch. Or similar things

Hm..Would a Succubus work? Gonna tone down some of the crap they have in their depiction and behavior though.

eeeeh, what are the powers of a Succubus?

Mainly magic, and the ability to go into a persons dreams and nightmares, along with flight because they have wings. Other than that, pretty average really. I'll tone down the magic to where it's merely sorcery, without her mystical staff she'd be powerless, that's gonna be her weakness.

[Blackwing Coast]

Very interesting. Are there any limits as to what the students can be? (I am thinking about a mystical creature)

you will be the magical exception, i will allow it, however i am probably going to pull something along the lines of "the walls are proofed against dram weaving magic" or similar. this is after all a top class military facility in a highly militaristic nation
