Questions about character I'm planning on making

1: Cybernetics, yes. Shotgun arm, no. Keep it practical and you should be fine. A real cybernetic that functions like a normal limb would be expensive and keep in mind this character is going to have it in and out of combat

2: Its a stable (not radioactive) solid and liquid used for fueling ships. There's a lot not known about it.
2a. Not that I know of, though some could probably be developed through IC research. Unless you meant just hitting someone with a chunk of erchius. That's fine.

3. Commonly referred to as the frontier. Seperate from the 'Core Worlds' which function a lot like Earth or another techy planet.

Rest coming later

 

1: Yes, but weaponised cybernetics are frowned upon. If you really want a weaponised cybernetic, clear it with staff.

2: Erchius isotope in its refined liquid form emits radiation, yes. However, the probability of there being Erchius based weaponry is low.

3: Council Space-Antares Border Sector. Slightly more civilized than the former Antares but still a largely lawless fringe.

4: I doubt it, but I'll let Haplap, our avian lore writer, answer this one.

5: I'll let Hap answer this one too.

6: Server IP is sb.antaresroleplay.com. Username and password should be included in a conversation started by a whitelist bot.

I'm not the Avian Lore writer, Florans are more my thing, however;

I'm gonna go with... Nooo...
It'd be considered blasphemy and I don't see the Avians focusing on genetic manipulation, especiallly because that'd be seen as some form of heresy or hubris towards Kluex and the Sunborn. Genetic manipulation is more an Apex thing.

Empty Life Support Pod:

Avian : This is dark science...

Apex Life Support Pod:

Avian : What monstrous process is this?

Also, creating a jetpack instead is a lot less messy and less dangerous than messing with one's genetic code.

Considering the fact that the Grounded are sometimes persecuted by the Flightless, it would be unlikely for a colony of Grounded to NOT inform their progeny of the existence of the Flightless and their belief that Kluex is their god and their whole crazy religion. So no, I think any Avian will know who Kluex is.

 

Giving Avians wings is a nono. Avians wouldn't be very advanced in genetic engineering, and certainly wouldn't engineer themselves wings, as the idea is rather blasphemous. You could argue that the Apex may be capable of altering an Avian to have wings, but they would have little reason to try. In general, making an Avian with wings is heavily frowned upon. Sorry!

And don't mind Khaltor, there's probably a few ways that an Avian could be oblivious to their own culture, but it'd be rare. If you're creative and make a believable reason, nobody will bat an eye at the character. For example: raised in a megacity outside Council-Space, Xiuh never learned of Kluex. His family had lived there for many generations, and their Avian culture had been diluted by the numerous other races they mingle with daily. When Xiuh was hatched, Kluex was such a distant and unimportant idea to these Grounded, they failed to mention it to Xiuh, even through his entire childhood.

 

5 seems unlikely, but not impossible, I suppose.

 

So long as it fits with Antares you can re-use any original character. Of course the wings would be out, but I'd say you're probably fine to use him if you do a bit of modification.

 

-Since (most of) our lore isn't written yet, it's hard to say. But I'd say you'd be fine putting him/her in his/her 40s or 50s.

-The Frontier (slightly lawless space just outside the core worlds of the sector)

 

Avians have an average life expectancy of about 125 years, so you can get a feel for aging off that.

As for our location, Krug is mostly correct. The setting is on the outer reaches of Council-Space, an area governed by a council of representatives from each of the seven races. Now, as for where the actual roleplay happens, that would be generally on colonies. These can be found in the colony forums, but currently none really exist due to the 1.0 wipe.
