Bio Applications:

Bio: Character Name: Gary Riley
Age: 26
Gender: Male

Appearance (why isn't this in the original format? -_-): Gary stands at about six foot four, with dark blond hair and greyish green eyes. He has a light skin tone with a slight tan to it, and a few freckles dotting his cheeks. He has strong teeth that are slightly yellowed, but otherwise in good condition.

As for the rest of his body, Gary is slightly overweight. That said, you should not underestimate him in a fist fight, as he can still throw a strong punch and also has fast reflexes.

Planet of origin: Earth
Biotic or Techno: Er... he is human... and he has no cybernetic implants of anything... if that is what you're asking.
Short History of the Character: Born on planet earth, from a young age Gary had always wanted to be a starship pilot in the military, to be able to explore space and not be confined to a single planet, fighting for his country, yadadada, typical recruitment propaganda. So, he kept on with that dream, and when the time came he finally applied, was accepted, and shipped to a space station for training ((forgive me if I'm making too many assumptions here.))

After a couple years of training, he soon discovered two things. One, he was a damn good pilot, capable of flying vehicles of varying sizes. Two, he hated the rules and restrictions that came with military service. Still, he gritted his teeth and endured.

When he finally graduated, he was stationed on a ship almost immediately - The Blue Phoenix. The ship was old but still functioning, its captain a grizzled veteran of many battles. Gary's first few months were spent escorting supply ships, and much to his disappointment he saw only a handful of skirmishes.

But then his luck changed. The Blue Phoenix was to join a much larger fleet of both humans and Florians, and prepare for an assault on an Ikrian space station.

On the way to their destination, however, they were ambushed by an Ikrian fleet. Whether they stumbled across each other by chance or the Ikrians had somehow found out about the attack was unknown, but a battle soon began.

Gary deftly maneuvered The Phoenix through the battle, saving the ship from fatal hits that lesser pilots would have been unable to avoid. But not every attack can be dodged, and soon the ship had taken heavy laser and missile damage, and to many on the bridge the battle seemed unwinnable. Despite the seemingly impossible odds they faced, the captain wanted to keep fighting.

Eventually the bridge crew had had enough, and staged a mutiny. The captain was knocked out, but not before shooting one of the officers with his pistol (in self defense, of course.) Gary then proceeded to get the hell out of there, making a blind jump to light speed.

Unfortunately, the ship's light speed drive had already been damaged at the time, and by activating it so quickly Gary had broken it beyond repair. Meanwhile, while the bridge crew had been in almost unanimous agreement, the rest of the ship had disagreed with the decision to retreat. When the captain finally awoke, they staged a counter mutiny.

Many were killed in the struggle, but eventually the captain had re-established control of the ship. Gary and a few other survivors were locked up in the ship's brig.

The captain reluctantly plotted a course for Nakriid - despite the planet's lawlessness, it was only place they had enough food to reach. After several weeks, they had finally arrived, and were almost immediately set upon by two pirate ships. Still heavily damaged with hardly any defenses and no means of escape, the captain surrendered almost immediately. The ship was looted for what few pieces of cargo it still had and left to drift, while Gary and his fellow prisoners were accepted into the pirates' ranks. He was stationed on board the Blackbird.

After a few months spent proving his loyalty, the captain made Gary the ship's new pilot (the previous pilot dying in a barfight probably helped.) Fast forward a few years, and he has completely left his military life behind, embracing his new freedom.

Other: He is a crack shot with a pistol, and fairly skilled at fighting with a knife. For his weapon, you can find his pistol on Page 555 of the Story and Roleplay Chat Thread.

Sitting on his chair, and in his house on his homeworld of Tuvega, an elderly Ikrian, by the name of Lurden was drinking his drink of choice- Mixed rum and cherry coke-- a drink introduced to him when he was younger by an Earthling, whom Lurden had befriended. These were Lurden's happy years. The years after the great Galactic War had ended, though at the time, Though at the time, Lurden wasn't sure how to begin living again.

Slowly, Lurden's eccentric brood of four grandchildren slithered up to him slowly like snails. There was Lurbek, His youngest grandchild of seven years, who was always interested in the stories his grandfather told. He also has a penchant for cookies, a human delicacy that is crumbly and has a sweet flavor. Then there was Lurinia, The 10 year old spoiled brat who always asked for dolls every time Lurden slithered his way over to his daughter's house. She liked human movies, as well as Lurden's stories. There was Lurxen, The very shy, very nerdy 13 year old who liked Japanese anime from the 1990's, an era some 700 years before he was born and also liked "Grampy" Lurden's stories. Finally there was Lurdeth, The very moody, very depressed, very rebellious 17 year old who hated everything, except Lurden's stories, and his boyfriend.

You may be asking what kind of stories these were. What could be so fascinating, that would gain the attention of each of his grandchildren so thoroughly. Lurden was once a space pirate, of a fearsome reputation, and they were fascinated, at the things that he had done in his youth almost 100 years back. "Grandpa," asked Lurxen, "tell us the full story," he continued. " You want to hear the stories of how I incinerated men and women of every race, chugged bullets from mechs into Ikrians, humans, Slorians, and Flugians, pilfered and pillaged throughout the galaxy, and how I reformed at the end of a hard life," Asked Lurden. All four of them nodded. "Okay, but things get

Annie just crashed landed in her escape pod on a strange planet. She crawled out of it and looked around where she was. As she looked around her, she saw she was in a tropical jungle. She was terrified and very upset from the lost of her family and what happened to the space ship that she snuck on. She didn't know what to do so, she just sat their. She was in shock,pain, hungry, trusty and other feelings that she can't explain. -Dances-

Sheldus
Sitting at the table in Xenia's, a very popular bar in Venture Sigma's Red Light District, was a fairly crazy and paranoid Flugian named Sheldus. He was very muscular and he was drinking his favorite Flugian styled ale, which is made from seaweed, alcohol, and the traditional hops and herbs that go into any alcoholic drink, which were introduced to the Flugians by the humans. Sheldus' shell was decorated with images of Pinchites, a figure in ancient Flugian myths, who dared to steal the magical golden harp from the God of death himself, to cure his wife of a disease that magic, nor herbal cures could not.

As this Flugian was drinking, a human walked up to say hello. Sheldus was startled, "Who is you?! They sends you didn't they? Here to drag Flugian back to Sheld*voose to be tried for war crimes? Me not answer for this!!!!" Screamed Sheldus who ran out of the bar. The Bartender was chasing after him, "Hey, you forgot to pay" He screamed. Sheldus hid in the garbage can.

Sheldus was convinced that the human who said "hello" to him was here to arrest him for what he had shamefully done in his past, in reality, this human had no idea about what Sheldus had done. 30 years ago, during the Flugian civil war he was the commandant in a death camp for Flugian rebels. Sheldus oversaw the killing of approximately 940,000 Flugians, Included in that number were half of his family. After the humans uplifted the Flugians, and negotiated an end to the war for both sides, they began hunting the Flugian commandants who ran the death camps. Sheldus was among the first to be captured, but a sympathizer helped him escape, and he fled, and Sheldus eventually became a pirate.

Sheldus took a peek out of the trashcan to see if anyone was there, when he saw that nobody was there, he stepped out of the trashcan.

Later that night, Sheldus returned to his house, Which happened to be right next to a bordello. This house was unique in a scope of paranoia that only a wanted war criminal like Sheldus could possibly possess. Here, there were floating security cameras that patrolled the perimeter 24/7 and required only sunlight to operate. On top of that, Sheldus had an army of robots patrolling that same area. He had security cameras which automatically switched to night-vision and thermal vision at around 10:00pm, the door was made of reinforced steel 4 inches thick. He had six security codes that were required to open the door. All of them had to be punched in correctly or the alarm would sound and the "agitator" would be chased off the property by the robots.

Sheldus entered his door, and due to his chronic OCD still did not feel safe, and proceeded to lock and unlock his door 17 times, he took seven showers in his home to get the sent of garbage off him, he went through seven bars of soap that day, each for washing his pinchers, for if one germ gets inside him, by his own reasoning, he might die.
You might be wondering how Sheldus could have all this, and the reason is that Sheldus is Galbora's roommate; but Galbora is almost never planet-side these days, because she is too busy shooting alliance vessels out of the sky from her dreadnaught. It is a task that requires her to be up 24-7, or 27/7 in the case of Nakriid.

You may be wondering about Sheldus' relationship with Galbora. Unfortunately Galbora hates Flugians and regards them as "idiots", due to their broken English. Probably more of a reason for her to just leave that place to her roommate, Sheldus. Sheldus went to bed early because he was tired, but he went to bed thinking that he could have done more to ensure his safety.
