("We're Off to Kill the Dragon" is going well. I thought I might up the complexity.)
Somehow, you've been enslaved. Don't worry, it happens to the best of us. Even the most powerful warriors in the universe get enslaved sometimes.
Sadly, you aren't them. Your path to freedom will be paved not by heroic deeds, but by treachery and deceit. You will kill and be killed for the entertainment of Space Pirates and Eccentric Trillionaires.

Skills:(Your 3 main skills)
Race List:Elders:
The Elders are humans, but not as we know them. They look human enough, but live for thousands of years by a combination of good genes, medicine, and magic. They aren't very strong, but they all have inherent magical abilities. Most also have cybernetic implants. They usually grow to about 7 feet tall.Names: Generic sci-fi names, or normal names on earth today.
Lowers:
The Lowers are humans who have been genetically engineered to serve. They live short(60 years at most), sad lives in mines and factories. They're shorter than Elders; Their average height is around 5 feet tall. Even so, they're as thick as they are tall. Lowers possess enormous strength, but little intelligence. Some hate the Elders, but most view them with religious awe.Names: Only biblical names(Lowers are VERY religious, although few can read.)
Reptilians:
Reptilians, or as they prefer to be called, "The N'bornth", are 8 foot tall monsters. They're trained from birth to kill and survive. They're lean, but incredibly strong. They follow a strange religion, based on an artifact that fell from space. They chant in a language humans cannot replicate in their strange meeting places. Reptilians are naturally talented in crafting and combat, but magic is alien to them. They abhor cybernetic enhancement, and make great Space Pirates. They live for around 500 years.Names: Lovecraftian.
Dry Squids:
Dry Squids, or Arida Polypus,
are magic users, quite plainly. They don't learn to move using their weak little arms; they learn to levitate magically within days of hatching. They generally grow to about 6 feet tall, but levitate several feet off the ground. They live for around 300 years. They can't hold guns, but they can stop bullets with their minds. In melee combat, they tend to be quite "squishy".Names: Bad Latin. I'll accept proper Latin, reluctantly.
(Natural talents are skills that start with points in them already. I wouldn't waste points in them, if I were you.)
Current characters:
Name: Moses
Race: Lower
Appearance: Unruly gray hair dirtied with soot lays like a mop upon Moses' head. 5'9" tall, his tan skin stretches over his hardened muscles and thin body. Dark brown eyes burn from underneath thick eyebrows, and a long, thick beard grows messily from a prominent chin. A hooked nose juts out from the chiseled face. Moses' clothes are dirty, and their original colors have long since faded to a dead looking gray. Calluses cover the man's hands, and the wrinkles on his face suggest premature aging.
Age: 33
Skills:Very small magic spark, experience with pole weaponry, some experience with blade weaponry
Backstory: Moses was born to a pair of impoverished factory worker parents in the lowest industrial sector of the capital city. From the moment his parents gazed upon him, they knew he was different, and he was. Moses, named after the famous man from the Bible who raised the waters, never went to school. Instead, he worked alongside his parents from as early as age eight. Although he didn't receive a formal education, he knew things were unfair and terrible for his family and friends. His brothers died in his mother's womb, so Moses was always a single child, and even from the beginning he knew nothing but pain, hardship, and exhaustion. Working in the industry sector for years, Moses slowly learned of the spoiled, posh life of the Elders. He believed the Lowers deserved an equal chance for a decent life and decided that the people must be led to freedom from their oppressive lives enforced by the Elders. Sadly, none of his comrades believed in Moses' revolutionary talk, and his namesake failed him, for he was unable to cast miracles, even with a small magical spark. After threatening his Elder bosses with a fistful of black market cobras, he was arrested and enslaved for his terrorism and deranged antics and is considered a lunatic.
