RULES:
1. Do not godmod. This includes things like having an invincible character/ship or one who can one hit kill other characters/ships. If you are unsure please ask me or another mod of this RP.
2. Do not bunny other characters, this means you cannot control other characters without their permission.

4. Respect other people. If somebody is uncomfortable with certain things please avoid doing those.
5. No flawless characters/mary sues.

Phantom Eight Σ said:
...:red: it.
Name: Prometheus
Gender: Undetermined (Biologically, confusing)
Age: 30
Species: Slightly unknown
Personality: A heavily amoral
Appearance: Publicly, he looks like a 5'10 human in full-body armor that kinda looks like my current PFP, but her actual appearance hasn't really appeared.
(Optional)Role: Professional Criminal(?)
(Optional)Rank: Legally, they're of the Captain rank, but has long since left any employment where they had a rank.
Ship/station/base:
Ship name: The Continental
Ship class: Similar to a corvette.
Crew: Only the main pilot, but the ship is built to be low-maintenance
Sensors: Yes(?)
Propulsion: Uses a "nano electrokinetic thruster" (there's a Wikipedia article on this)
FTL: The ship uses a standard-issue warp drive.
Defensive features: Carries a "digital ghillie suit" that hides from most electronic targeting systems, but not the naked eye.
Weapons: Instead of standard energy turrets or whatever, it has "retro-style ballistic machine guns" for weapons, which are Ameli LMGs converted for use in vacuums as remote turrets. Expensive as hell to maintain.
Special features (Optional): Interior is modeled after a vacation ship, so it's really damn fancy and tacky all at once.
Planet of origin: Earth
Abilities: Can attempt to disguise as whatever existing being they know enough about, but they don't automatically pull it off convincingly.
Equipment: A custom-made suppressed MPX Carbine, a replica of a VSS Vintorez sniper rifle, and a foldable cardboard box (I swear this will be useful)
Strengths: Good at hiding, firing precisely, and is decent at talking.
Weaknesses: Cannot handle losing in the slightest, and will slowly go insane if they don't have any sort of victory.
(Optional)Hex: #c5b358
(Optional, but recommended)Backstory: To summarize, they've worked for several militant groups which mentally conditioned him to openly prefer violent assault and death over peace, and such conditioning still haunts her to this day and will likely remain forever. They also underwent a strange shift in species, as they used to be a normal human.

I’m gonna go ahead and assume mercenaries are allowed. If so then I had an idea that I’ve based off of about 30 different characters and melded into one. To be fair, this guy is gonna be busted, but he’s gonna work alone and be a hired gun.
Name: Mach

Gender: Male

Age: 40s

Species: human (heavily modified)

Personality: Indifferent, doesn’t seem to show much emotion towards anything good or bad, he does the deed to get paid, and then vanishes without a trace. Has a very twisted sense of humor.

Appearance: A large cyborg, the only part of him that’s still visibly human is half of his upper face, his nose, and an eye. He does have his crucial organs still, they’re just deep inside of his body. He’s huge (8.5 feet tall and around 6 feet wide) heavily armored, and has a mounted double barrel minigun on his back. He has a massive axe with thrusters that can magnetise to his back when not in use, he also has a wrist mounted energy shield, and many internal weapons. He appears similar in armor shape to a warhammer soldier, but his armor is jet black with tons of faded paint, scratches, dents, and silver secondary paint. He has a visor that can deploy over his face and lock to it, allowing him full heavy body armor if need be. He has a red mechanical eye with tracking technology, and his mouth looks like an advanced breathing device (a heavy duty mask) so it’s possible he may still have somewhat of a mouth under there.

(Optional)Role: Mercenary / hired gun

(Optional)Rank: Mercenary leader (solo, entire mercenary network killed)

Ship/station/base: no ship, no station, no base, located on a small desert planet in the middle of virtually nowhere.

Planet of origin: unknown, a lesser world.

Abilities:

Equipment:

mounted double barrel laser minigun, wrist blades, energy shield, wrist laser LMGS, mounted shoulder rocket launcher (12 rockets) mounted shoulder double laser autocannon, wrist melting laser, heavy jet propelled impactor axe. Sharp fingers and spiked knuckles and feet. Wrist mounted flamethrower with limited use. Can self destruct and cause a giant explosion.

Strengths:

Insane durability

insane physical strength and can jump very high

arsenal

firepower

fighting against groups

kill record

Weaknesses:

has no means of transportation on his own.

pretty slow, can’t really dodge

if hit in special places, could explode and cause massive damage.

very fast singular or groups of opponents.

not incredibly smart logistically, his main thing is just shredding everything before it can fight back

(Optional)Hex: E00000

(Optional, but recommended)Backstory:

When Mach was 10, there was a draft. The Stellaris wanted the planet, his mom said they wouldn’t let them take it. He was given a pistol, printed armor, and sent to defend the ammo supply. When they came, and that was with overwhelming force, he stood no chance. He was lucky, out of mercy, the stellaris soldiers shot him twice, once in the gut, the other a miss. The armor took most of the one to his gut, mainly breaking ribs, but the one that missed took off a few fingers. When he woke up from shock in the hospital, he was off planet, his mom was nowhere to be found, and boy did he look for her everywhere, he had 2 mechanical fingers on his hand.

Those two fingers made him remember the events, and oh how he wanted to forget them, but he knew he had to be seen as well kept as he went into this strange new planetary system if he wanted to survive. He didn’t make the best decisions though. At age 14 he had joined a dangerous mercenary group on the planet. Doing their grunt work, stealing minor things, keeping his share, and in return receiving protection. His fingers were augmented to help pick locks, and he started to realise the usefulness of machinery. One day he was making a simple exit from robbing a store on the far side of town, the moment the cop saw, he didn’t hesitate. He was shot 5 times. One destroyed the mechanical fingers, two hit his forearm, and two to his lower chest, missing major organs thankfully. His group helped him out, he got augmented with a mechanical forearm and hand, and received metal plating and some pieces on the side of his chest. The arm had a wristblade and a small one use grenade launcher, and his side could magnetically store a pistol. From that point on, he was enamoured with machines.

30 years later, he was the leader of the now galaxy wide mercenary group, but he didn’t know that the governments of each planet were preparing something to thwart his thieving and murdering group. In one day, all at once, his whole empire, spare maybe a few chance survivors, were killed, the collective empires easily overpowering the spread out and unfortifided groups. Mach himself was shot with a rocket launcher, he was heavily augmented already, but the rocket still popped him like a balloon, it tore off all of his limbs and put huge tears in his chest alongside nearly destroying his neck and damaging his head. He was declared dead.

But he wasn’t.

There was a mercenary sympathiser in town. She was a private doctor. When the raid was over, she quickly dragged his decimated body inside, hooking him up to life support and placing his body in stasis until she could think what to do. Later, with the help of an engineer, she bought a small mechanical robot and hooked Mach’s brain up to it from within statis. Each day she could afford a few minutes to try and patch him up before she had to put him back in statis, and the rest of time he worked on his new body, as the empires didn’t care to take the massive hoards of weapons and gear that the mercenaries amassed. Eventually, he was able to come out of statis and hooked himself up to parts of the body, fine tuning it. Eventually he had made a skeletal body of his own, and he didn’t need the help anymore. He thanked the woman, seeing her as his missing mother, and promised to protect her from any danger that she may encounter. He offered his eternal gratitude and support to him, giving her his communication information so she could contact him if need be.

Using the entire local arsenal, he remained hidden as he build a body he called MK1. From here he continually stole more items from other mercenary storages until he deemed his body good enough. MK5.

He now dwells on a calm desert planet, a small and unimportant one. He’s still a contract killer, and a good one too, but he doesn’t really advertise himself. You’ll be hard pressed to find him…

(Optional)Trivia/extra:

While still mostly human, he killed a space marine and stole his armor, then later augmenting it after taking insane damage and losing most of his body to become a shell for his cyborg body.

While his name is Mach, he‘s never owned a ship or been very fast.

Crew: 1 as of yet, people can join the crew if they want
Propulsion: Neutron propulsion jets.
FTL: Light factor.
Defensive features: Shield panels.
Weapons: Two laser rifles, one laser cannon, and a proton torpedo hatch.
Special features (Optional): Wavelength scanners, able to pick up any sound, movement, or life unless prevented by technology designed to counter it.
 
All of my characters are currently planned to be part of the same ship's crew.
Although funny enough the ship itself could also theoretically be considered a character.

And I realise now that sensors would make sense to be included in the template for ships.
