So pretty much I figured it would be best to start here and get the actual RP itself running after I've got everything worked out (characters and such, obviously) So let's start with the obvious thing needed, the character sheet! Oh and by the way just because I have planets for each race doesn't mean you have to make one of those races, you can choose to make up your own race and I may even make some npc's of that race after you made it, or a new planet later, anyways please choose whatever race you feel like playing, already got two new planets sitting in my pm box that i need to get written down too.

(18 points to spend)
Skill: Every 3 points grants +1 Stamina and +1 R. Damage

Stamina Base of 5
M. Damage: Base of 1
R. Damage: Base of 1
Some general classes I've narrowed it down to so far: Slave, Civilian, Mercenary, Bounty Hunter, Ambassador, Soldier, Justicar, Alien, Scientist, Engineer
Slaves will start in captivity of course, or being auctioned off if they choose.
Civilians I'll probably give a dilemma of some sort pushing them into a circumstance where they will get another class so its not a permanent class choice.
Mercenaries, or Mercs as they are commonly called, are often respected or feared though anyone with enough money has no fear of them as their usually still greedy enough to be paid off mercenaries can be evil jerks or righteous bringers of justice hired by anyone anytime.
Bounty Hunters are quite the opposite as they usually seek to kill or capture for the darker people in the universe and their baser instinct is to save their own ass before anyone else's.
Ambassador is a lovely little class I thought up as I was typing out the character sheet actually and they are an ambassador for their home planet, this class will only be available to anyone who makes their own planet, they will start on the human world but of course be originally from their home world.
Soldiers are not that numerous as it is rare the human politicians will send any troops out, they mostly protect scientists on excursions to new planets but are sometimes sent on dangerous missions as well, they are not always greedy, and vary just as mercs do but most times are willing to die to complete their orders.
Justicars are basically the enforcers of justice on the human home world and will be met with the constant annoyance of slave traders and other such "rabble."
Aliens are quite simply living on their home world, of course this requires a home world to live on so if there’s no planet for your race you'd be a Civilian, sorta like the civilian class this may not be permanent. If you don't have your own planet you'd be a Civilian!
Scientists are basically researchers, they collect data and tell those on the human home world important things about what they discover, of course these are mostly humans and other inteligent races, but no one said there wasn't intelligent people on Mao-a, or beastmen with brains either.
Engineer was suggested by Darkness, I'd assume an engineer does what they do now, plan and build crazy inventions and other such thigns to make lives easier, much respect from others, though other engineers might eb jealous if you're too awesome.
Any other class ideas are welcome of course, feel free to let me know.
For those with questions on stats let me get a few things out of the way, I'm not changing them unless someone manages to hardcore abuse my stat system and becomes super overpowered or something, Health will go down if you get hit (duh) by anything, punch n the face, knee to the gut, all removes health. Stamina goes down if you run hard, jump high, really anything that might make you breathe hard if you do it too long, yes that includes sex, also Stamina will regenerate slightly if you take a turn off so to speak and let yourself rest a bit. Keep in mind you can't rest to regen your stamina if you're being raped, constricted or something similar that would lower your stamina, and struggling may just drain your stamina faster if you can't overpower your foe. Damage of the M and R variety is simply that, how much damage you do with that type of weapon. Some weapons later on may give minor boosts to your damage, or items like say a scope for a rifle. On this note, war between human and human is something of the past in this RP so the weapons being developed have changed, they are much weaker and cannot kill someone, someTHING is a different matter as there are creatures that need to die in the universe and should you ever find yourself facing one your weapon will be able to kill such creatures as their simply built with genetic technology that recognizes how dangerous a foe is and adapts its strength to them. Meaning if your beating down a slave in the underworld your weapon will cause pain and eventually knock them out but if you were fighting say a super dangerous predator that’s never been seen on a new planet the weapon wouldn't recognize their genetics and would go into kill mode allowing you to kill the beast.
Woof, that was a lot of info but I think I covered everything I wanted to, since this is a fair amount of new information I'll leave this up here and reserve the second post for planet information which I'll get up later, along with other stuff that may be needed.
EDIT! Two classes I'm adding: Scientist, and Engineer. Very similar in job of course, well except the scientist researches and collects data and the engineer makes things... but regardless I'll probably have scientists start off on one either Mao-a or the beastman planet and Engineers start on the human planet unless they want to start elsewhere. That said DarknessinDeath and samuel turgsen have already created planets with their own races. Which I will be adding to here soon!!!
Side note I added an optional detail to the Character Sheet, along with one other minor detail, enjoy!
