Vex put his hand on Jax's shoulder.
"Come on... it's not like he PULLED away..."
Vex stared at Telmus's hand.
"Sorry... not on a first date." he joked after seeing what happened to Jax.
"They call me Vex... maybe you heard of me? I'm quite well known." he said shamelessly

"Haven't heard of you" He says as he retracts his hand. "I just want my ring at this point" He says.
"Then dude, you gotta go for it! Inter-species love..."
Vex turned to Talmus.
"If you want a ring..." Vex brandished a blade, "Just tell me what kind."
Vex turned to Talmus.
"If you want a ring..." Vex brandished a blade, "Just tell me what kind."
Vex exhaled.
"Whew... for a second there, I thought someone was going commando..."
Vex straighten up.
"What brings you freaks of nature here?"
"Whew... for a second there, I thought someone was going commando..."
Vex straighten up.
"What brings you freaks of nature here?"
"The strongest Kind" He says eying the blade sending a quiver down his razor sharp spines. "Fancy blade you got there" He says
'Me? We were summoned no? Anything to help innocents.'
He flexed his tentacles and one hit Jax in the face.
'Sorry!'
He flexed his tentacles and one hit Jax in the face.
'Sorry!'
"Thanks," Vex noted as he stared at it, "Got it polished. I can see myself in it..."
"Summoned?" Vex wondered, "Innocents? What would the Green Lanterns want with a merc?"
"Summoned?" Vex wondered, "Innocents? What would the Green Lanterns want with a merc?"
The tentacle knocked one the lenses of his tinted goggles off, he quickly turned away to fix it before facing them again
"No worries, it's not that bright in here anyway so no damage done" he said goodnaturedly "but anyway, like the rest of you I was summoned here. I kinda needed it though, I wasnt in the best condition at the time"

Character Name: Amistad
Gender: Not applicable, nominally male
Character History: One of the few remaining fully functional hooders, Amistad is presumed to be Thousands of years old, if not more, but has not been sentient for more than a few decades, and it seems that much of him prefers the animalistic, instinct-driven existence of his past. Until recently, he lived on Masada, continuing his old function as the most dangerous predator of the planets deadly ecology, rarely communicating with 'civilization', though now he has been tempted away by the offer of a place in the Green Lanterns. However, his price is simple; in return for his service, the Lanterns will use their authority to close off Masada to the rest of the galaxy, and make sure it remains a wasteland world, for at his heart, Amistad still serves the Astether
Character Personality: The mind of any alien is hard to penetrate, but the mind of Masada's one sentient inhabitant is harder still, for not only is he a bio-mechanical construct, driven by instinct and inbuilt programing, but he has also been raised to a level of consciousness his race was never designed to have. His motives, values and very thoughts are seemingly contradictory, even to himself, and he often struggles with his conflicting natures
In his deepest core, Amistad follows his programming; he must guard Masada, both from outsiders come to dig up old, evil secrets, and to keep his masters firmly in the past, for reasons only they knew. However, with the advent of sentience, Amistad was given free will, but no objectives to go with it. He has no sense of pleasure, gains nothing from eating nor consuming chemical cocktails, cannot procreate and has none of his own kind to socialize with. As such, he has no sentient aim, and uses his intellect more like a tool than a state of being, and continues to serve his programing
As such, Amistad is a a creature of simple needs, and few moral restrictions; he will do what he must to protect his world, and will not hesitate, no matter the cost. He can be harsh, implacable and utterly without mercy, and while this does not prevent him from being kind, friendly and diplomatic, these are merely sides of personality he rarely has the need to use.
Planet Name: Masada
Species Name: Vipera crustae - Masada or the Masadan Shellsnake, also known as 'hooders'
Species Physical Description: Picture the spine of a giant, ten meters long, on the end of which is a spoon shaped cowl. All down the spine, which is separated into 20 segments, come a pair of jointed legs ending in points, except on the last three segments, which are progressively smaller and end in a blunt tail. Under the hood is a a face more like a factory machine, a vicious mouth hidden behind two layers of outer teeth, and surrounded by at least ten limbs, ending in different attachments, mostly wickedly sharp blades, though four have small, hand-like ends shaped of four small tentacles.
Species History: The planet Masada is unique, in being the only known world to have a totally artificial ecology. The nature of is creature and plants are manifestly hostile to almost everything foreign, living or artificial; the animals deadly and the plants poisonous, the very earth infested with tiny molluscs who attack and grind up any non-moving solid larger than three millimeters.
The Shellsnakes are a primary example; huge, vicious monsters whose main function appears to be to hunt and kill anything it sees, then in the process of eating rend the victim into the tiniest of shreds before plunging them into a stomach full of industrial scale acids. If this wasn't enough proof that it was designed with a purpose, it's genetic code speaks for itself; no redundancies, no repetition and no recessive genes; someone wrote the DNA and wanted it to stay that way.
The question of who wrote it's genes is largely unanswered, but it is assumed to be the original inhabitants of Masada, the Astether, a race of whom almost nothing is unknown, and that which is has been gleaned from Amistad. It seemed that the Astether, for reasons unknown, decided to commit racial suicide, taking self destruction to the level that they used their technology to destroy itself breeding an entire planetary bio-system deigned to make technological life impossible, and to destroy any life not recognized by the system. Whatever their reasons, the Astether wanted to make sure that they never, ever come back.
Amistad's story also raises more questions than it answers, for until recent history he was nothing but a mindless animal like any other hooder. However, about forty years ago, something in the planets core apparently reacted tot eh number of visitors to the wasteland world and sent a pulse toward the nearest hooder, drastically altering the layout of it's brain and giving it consciousness. This hooder came to know itself as Amistad, and with it's newly gained intellect was given a task; rid this world of intruders, for the Astether must not be disturbed. At first, Amistad took this to mean he must fight the off-worlders, but this proved impossible; despite his capacity for violence he could not patrol a whole world. instead eh took up a diplomatic role, arguing his case that as executor of an entire races last will and testament, he could be allowed to legally close off the world. Approach was mired by complex legalities, and Amistad retreated in disgust, to search for a new way to protect his world from intruders

Bloody hell! I just started writing and look what came out! Dunno if it will be suitable for this RP, and if it's not I've got another one up my sleeve, but anyhow, I intend to use it at some point.
[sup]Hmm, given the ton of lore I just made up, I reckon I could build an RP out of this...
Saving this games presence, of course.[/sup]
--meanwhile the guardians of the universe are discussing matters.--
Behind two locked doors sits a curved table seat at which are 6 Guardians.
"I believe that it is almost time for the Cadets first training mission." says Guardian #1
"There has been criminal activity from Methack Ter and his associates in sector 111." says Guardian #4
"Which two Lanterns would be and appropriate escort for these cadets?" says Guardian #2
--Back At Warriors--
"So you newbies gonna order something or you gonna stand around like a couple statues. Because You guys don't match the decor." said Guy to the Cadets laughing at his own Joke
