I was hoping to finish my character tonight, but I've not been able to thus far. He will be a healer, though.

Hey it's me, headsprouter. I think Nuba km mentioned me. Anyway, here's my character sheet. Anything I need to improve on?

EDIT: just a quick wee add-in. His race is very adaptable. They will even make their own bullets out of shrapnel. They are known for use of primitive ranged weaponry constructed from parts scavenged. They are a plentiful race of about 5 million. However they mostly travel between planets as stowaways. They are often hired by otherraces as grease monkeys because of their reknowned engineering skills and ability to survive on little. They resist gases as they breathe through their exoskeleton, like true insects. The best way to describe their behaviour and race as a whole, would be scavengers and oppurtunists.

the dreughlic planet is a mudball, with large rivers, and lakes from craters covering it. They live in a planet with many metals, and an abundance of diamonds, neither of which they'll give to others, due to petty selfishness. When other races came to take some of the valuable metals, they had their supplies taken, ships dismantled and were killed in order to get them. But those were the old days. The dreughlic still take what they can, but are open for employment as mercenaries and mechanics. Their planet has some buildings, no standard weapon code, both built from the tech other races possess, combined with use of their own metals. As a means of air defense, they construct massive shrapnel cannons. They have no main city, however, and live in a steady supply of scrap from other planets. This is their only means of 'trade' with others. They advertise their planet a place to dump your crap, stay outside of the atmosphere, though, or they'll try and take the dropship, too. "idiots." they think, "so wasteful." what they can't use, they feed to their larvae.

name: mogliss scjizlan (scjizlan means wanderer, dreughlic last names represent current reputation, they may call another a faajhuul, if they were seen as a great warrior/hero, mogliss is so-called because he 'wandered off'. It's similar to the origin of our surnames today. Someone has the surname of 'smith', most likely because one of their ancestors was known as a smith, for example.)

Military alias: wing-case (or nut-case, lol)

Appearance: long, straight antennae and a sand coloured body with black stripes which break up his outline, like a tiger. He has wings going down his back and a long, thick abdomen. He has four arms and two legs. His forearms and the back of his forelegs are covered in thorn-like appendages. Each hand has 3 digits and he has a pair of large, green eyes on his thick head, which is 50% mouth parts(as with all of his race).

Personalitywise he is not afraid to fight dirty or retreat. He is not a bad person, just a bit loud, and speaks his mind, always. He likes human clothing accessories, sporting a loose, red tie. His main armor attachments are from what he finds lying around. Saucepans. Exhaust pipes, tires. You name it. It's all for 'extra padding'. Add on effects are merely cosmetic.

Weapon expertise: small guns, grenades, knives.

God: yurgo

Weaknesses: brittle bones, gullible. Especially weak to melée and bullets.

Specialty: combat

Magic: soul

Race: the dreughlic are a locust-like race with a very variable colour scheme. They live in gangs of 3 or more, alone or in family groups. They have no written morals, but in most groups, a female, if present, will lead, since they're bigger and stronger than the males. Breeding is completely uncontrolled, and one dreughlic can give birth to 1-30 larvae, depeding on fertility. The larvae resemble leatherjackets, and vomit digestive juices as a means of defense. They are squishy, pale, have a mouth lined with teeth and small, beady eyes.
Anyway, back to the dreughlic, they have straight or curved antennae depending on gender, they often fight in groups, it is hard to fight one head to head without sustaining some damage. They are omnivores, unlike actual locusts. They can be unreliable friends, abandoning them to save their own skin. The whole race in general are loud, travel in groups, love technology and are excellent hackers. They laugh and holler to one another as they go, and laugh in the face of most locks
Backstory: as a recently matured dreughlic, he often got into fights with gangs of 5 others, and tended to win. Because he was the one with the pocket knife. Suckers. He joined because of his expertise in technology and computers was vast enough he felt it needed to be put to work, and he liked the fancy gadgets they had, and often wondered what kind of tech he could recover from other worlds. So he signed up with triumphant-looking antennae, and readied himself for a damn good time.

Likes: technology, human clothing accessories, gadgets, explosives.

Sorry I haven't been checking in, I went on Vacation. Heres the answers to the question that have been asked
1-So what's everyone's home planet like?

Vokolia, the Volkain planet is inhospitable to all other above ground, due to an atmosphere of 95% Helium. The gravity is also very low, about 1/10 of Earth's. The landscape is mainly flat and smooth. There is little water on the surface, but large aquifers underground. The Volkain once lived solely underground, where gravity was more intense and water could be found, but as space travel technology became more developed, they colonized the 3 orbiting moons, Reirei Prime, Reirei minor, and Exolia. The four areas are now connected by flight routes and a daily commute off-planet is not uncommon.

2-Is anyone her particularly racist towards any other species?

The Volkain feel that they are superior to all races save, the Relli. If one wishes to impress the Volkain, they must be incredibly intelligent.

3-So what type of government is each species using (or at least what were they doing before joining the U.F.G?)

The government was and still is a Kritarchy, rule by judges. One judge is chosen by a vote, and they serve until their death. There are basically no laws, if something is questioned it is brought up in court, but the Volkain have a strong moral sense, and civil rules are always followed by most.

4-So how long as everyone been in the U.G.F?

The Volkain were not founding members of the UGF, but they were the first race recruited, as their homeworld is rather close to the Relli homeworld.

5-How/ why did you're race join?

The Volkain met and respected the Relli several decades before the formation of the UGF, so they readily joined when asked by the Relli

6-What does each species think of the U.G.F?

The Volkain love the UGF and are respected in it.

7-What other races live on anyones home planets? any sentient? any large-scale wars in species histories?

The Volkain are the sole race on Vokolia, there is no wildlife.

8-Anyone been to the Norg home world? Why? What did you think of it?

Several Volkain were members of the expedition that originally reached their world. They feared these creatures, so they made a sacrifice. (see below)

9-Anyone hand any experience with terminals?

One family of Volkain were given to the Norg to become terminals. Their family line is forever bound to be terminals.

That looks pretty good Headsprouter. You know when we are starting and such right?
Yup, June first. I'm set to go, however I may make minor additions to my character sheet as more comes to mind. I'll stop addingwhen we begin of course. No sheet additions will go beyond further race details. In other words I'm not changing my character unless you wish it so.

I have one question though you said he was proficient with knives but was vulnerable to close combat attacks, is this because of the fragile bodies?

Yeah, it's because of the fragile bodies. Keep in mind though, they can survive falls quite well because of their exoskeleton. But, then again, they don't hit the ground at all, since they can...fly...an' all.

Just so you know some of us have been doing a little Q and A so here are the questions we have asked so far.
1-So what's everyone's home planet like?
I added this answer to my character sheet.

2-Is anyone her particularly racist towards any other species?
Everyone else is just another possibility. All other races are just suppliers. There are no favourites.

3-So what type of government is each species using (or at least what were they doing before joining the U.F.G?)
They lived seperate lives in gangs and family groups. Or wandering alone.

4-How does you?re species fit into the U.F.G?
They're the maintennance workers mainly. But some, like my character, join the soldier ranks.

5-How/ why did you're race join?
More possibilities for technological advancement from tech coming from faraway planets.

6-What does each species think of the U.G.F?
My species mostly turns a blind eye to things that don't concern them. However, this ignorance may be their downfall.

7-What other races live on anyones home planets? any sentient? any large-scale wars in species histories?
Smaller creatures and animals live there of course, but the dreughlic don't like other people inhabiting or using a planet that is theirs. They got there first. You snooze you lose is their attitude. Try to move in at your own risk. sure, dump your stuff, they can use that.

8-Anyone been to the Norg home world? Why? What did you think of it?
People whowent to the norg home world probably tried to steal stuff and got pwned. Dreughlics tend to drift anyway, so they tend not to know where they're going. But they know what they want.

9-Anyone hand any experience with terminals?
My race have had no known experience with terminals, and if the passing on of personality traits is a possibility, I don't think the norg should use the dreughlic, for safety's sake, given the detestable nature of their races ignorance and shallow mindedness. But if you want to gamble for an inventive mind, they should go ahead.


New questions
1-So what is the biggest threat to everyone?s species?
To my species? People losing tolerance or use for them. On their home planet, live large, toad-like creatures called crylin. They devastate settlements and are the death of many lone travellers. In all senses they resemble a large, fat, pale pink toad with three horns (two behind the eyes, one in the front) and a pair of blue piggy eyes. They have no teeth. But a long Tongue fired out like a chameleon's. Crylin means "butcher".

2-Anyone been to war with another U.G.F race?
Nope. They live seperately so they aren't controlled by a single government.

Im looking forward to this.

1. that the rasem can't make it to the home world, but they may resort to just going to the closest rasem of the other gender (only gender difference is reproductive organs) and lay their eggs on a different planet but the larva would properly get killed by the residence (as they are even bigger then an adult rasem and just care about eating things) due to self defence.
2. like stated before rasem act as individuals so they don't go into wars as a race except if it involves their home planet.


I have a question:
Has anyone's character encountered a rasem before and under what conditions?

Your gryale idea was great! I loved it! It made me want to make my own imminent animal threat for my own race. Is that okay with you? Mind you, mine is only native to the dreughlic home planet.
