Short note on teleportation. I want to stamp this down before it pops up. Teleportation technology is available but only amongst the most advanced races (even the maricans don't have it)
however, for Rping reasons, its the only limited tech in the rpg. For it to be allowed there has to be an entrance gate and an exit gate set up and they have to be bigger than the object being transported. You ask why limit it? Why stop us from makeing personal teleporters for people to escape?
Because something that can make a person appear on a planet or in a ship can also make a nuke appear right inside a city, inside a ship.. inside a PLANET. It could also make a tiny scrap of lead appear within someones heart. It could effectively send a Sun into a fleet.
Long story short. Teleportation is one of the few true Doomsday weapons.
Due to recent events, I cringe at the need of posting this here: Being a noob is considered a crime punishable by death. In the event of a ridiculously nooby occurrence, the members directly involved will be given the chance to have their say and either defend or condemn the event. You may get off with the post being edited into correctness, you may face a punishment killing or you may be banned from posting in SEW indefinitely.
Well here it is, enjoy, and make sure to add your own ideas!
This is set in a galaxy, no massive universes. EDIT: However, other galaxies may be visited. The e-war cannot be set in these though. They are purely plot related.
However, you may add your own planets/species/characters to the E-war.
If you want to make some sort've Dragon like alien but it wouldn't fit on any of the planets already out there you can create your own planet, if other players like it they can make characters to live on it. There is no Plot, per-say However, I will create a bunch of starting planets and have plots entwined with them, so future races and characters can get involved with their plots.
You might say that this is way to big, but no, there are limitations.
You cant make a creature that is physically and mentally perfect (EG: Dragons building spaceships and lasers, they don't need complex weapons, they have claws, fire and teeth to help them survive)
Magic is EXTREMELY limited. Very few races are magical and the ones that are can only really use it to a small extent, such as conjuring a fireball in there palms. No volcanoes and earth quakes.
Planets aren't as big as the ones in real life, the maximum size for a planet would be around earths size, maybe a bit smaller

Native Name: Maricas
Enviroment:Earth-like
Regions:
Temperate zone: (located near the equator) A mild area, mostly covered in forests and rocky cliffs, densely populated
The Plains: A huge section of the planet which used to be a desert. A climatic shift brought on by an asteroid striking the planet hundreds of years ago has slowly changed into a much more habitable area, plain like area. There is a diverse range of species living there...
Arctic: Near the planets south pole, where the asteroid hit. The crater was so huge that the sun never directly shines into it due to the rims size. Inside it is extremely icey with many frozen lakes and very few animals.
Dominant Species: Humans
Technology level: Very High, the people of Maricas use complex technology often in every day life and in combat
Animal life: large 6 legged spider like herbivores are the most common sights, most predators are either birds or two legged, dinosaur style pack hunters.
Very little sea life. The Ocean is extremely cold
Native name: Ka-Rol
Environment: Very moist Atmosphere, much more oxygen than normal, meaning life is significantly larger and generally angrier Razz
Regions: The whole planet is covered in massive trees. It is swampy all over cuaseing almost permanent dense fog.
Mountains: A large ring of volcanoes and the most habitable part of the planet, Only 3 active volcanoes here, the rest are extinct
Dominant Species: The Koult
Technology level: High
Animals life: Mostly large insects and birds, Top of the food chain are 3 meter long Dragonflies
I'm assuming that everyone knows what a human is, so I won't bother writing a lengthy description of them
Name: Koult
Description (A rough view of what most of them look like): The Koultians are a race of bipedal, blueish wolf like creatures. They have lots of fur over their bodies and thus, only wear light cloaks for clothing. They have 8 fingers on each hand, perfect for climbing and for crafting objects, however, not so perfect for using said objects.
Diet: Omnivore
Natural abilities: extremely fast and agile runners, well capable of traversing both mountainous and their native swamp like terrain.
history: In earlier years, the Koult fought many wars over everything from fertile land to rocky plateaus, even religious reasons. Whenever a new piece of technology was created, there was always someone who opposed its moral values. It was only after a strange metal structure crashed into their capital city that they realized technology's full potential. Their forays into space had mostly been attributed to finding out more about their planet but the this... Probes arrival told them that there was in fact life out there that was exploring space. when these ideas spread around, everyone had a different idea of what it would mean for them. Some thought it meant more land, therefore, it was pointless fighting for land on their homeworld. Others thought they would be able to do what ever the hell they wanted on these other planets, so quickly public favor powered technology ahead and within 20 years, first contact was established. A bunch of strange ape like creatures had arrived in a smallish shuttle, traded some stuff with a small village and then left. Nearly 40 years after that, Space became a much more controversial thing. A bunch of Koultian business moguls had the idea of stripping asteroids of their minerals and taking them back home. When the mining team arrived, they found a group of humans already there, mining away. One thing led to another, and out of both surprise, shock and miscommunication, one of the koultian ships was destroyed, blown apart by the humans mining weapons. The other ship managed to flee, but left many koultians stranded on the asteroid, who were blind with revenge, wanting to slaughter the humans. The Koultian Council exploded with rage. Nobody knew what was going to happen after that. When long range telescopes spotted over 30 human ships heading towards Ko-roll, it was thought that the Koultians first interstellar negotiations were about to take place. A week later, the Koultian capital city, Calara, was in absolute chaos. old exploration ships were being quickly transformed into make shift battle cruisers for what was surely going to be armageddon. On closer inspection, massive weapons could be seen mounted on the human ships, the formation in which they flew through space was identified as perfect for invasion. The Koultian armadas orders were not to fire the first shot. The enemy had to prove hostile first. The battle was quick and decisive. To the Koultians great surprise, the humans communicated perfectly with them. A single human ship landed on the borders of Calara and that's when things went screwy. The Humans were obviously prepared for the worst, instead of strange ape like suits, they looked more like machines, thick armored suits with all sorts of dangerous weapons built into their arms.
The koultians had guns that fired thick barbs and were armed with spears. These seemed as effective as sticks in light of the humans weapons and armor. It was this that most likely led to the first shot being fired. What started out as a simple greeting ended up into a fire fight in which both civilians and Koultian guard were slaughtered. The humans armor turned out not to be as spear proof as hoped and casualties on both sides were staggeringly high. The second news got out about the fighting, both the human and koultian armadas immediately opened fire on one another, their weapons decimating each others ships within a day.....
Now, nearly 47 years later, the fight continues.....
Name: Alex Haroween (Har-ho-When)
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Description: A tall man with short brown hair. He has a scar running down his cheek. He usually wears a black tank top and jeans. He always has a pair of sun goggles with him, though he rarely uses them.
Unique traits: He is very skilled in hand to hand combat and is an able pilot
Tech: His personal Combat suit is completely jet black and has an integrated jetpack on its back. It has a cheap targeting system meaning it can be hard to land shots on fast moving targets. He uses a rather simple assault rifle, mainly because he cant get his hands on a better weapon.
Along with the rest of his mercs, he travels aboard The Arrow. A small and fast ship with not much weapons or armor. With a crew of 6, they don't have the man power to pilot a larger ship. When under attack (or when attacking) the ship can deploy two smaller fighters.
Homeworld: Maricas
Bio: Alex is a mercenary captain, in charge of the 'Supernova' Free company. At least that's what he calls it. Others would more to brand him with the label of a pirate and a murderer. Richer folk would refer to him as a 'necessary part of life'
History: Despite that a war is going on with Koultian forces and the human armada clashing on various planets separating maricas and ka-roll, many people hadn't let go of their original plans. Those plans mostly revolved around money, where money was involved, greed was involved, where greed was involved, people like Alex were in high demand....
The Arrow glided effortlessly through the blackness, towards an unsuspecting target in the distance. Alex was in the ships bridge, looking at the interception plan. It was easy enough. The Paul and Natasia would cripple the ships engines using the fighters and then they would bored it. Chances were the crew on board it weren't armed or expecting an attack...
