Well, tentacled aliens in general bore me. The Zerg are original, as well as sone other races, but green men or tentacled aliens are done to death.

Just out of curiosity, what DOES Dwarf Fortress smell like?

Name: Sam Spade

Quest: Dead broke, rent is due, two cigs left, looking for work.

Age: 40

Gender: Male

Appearance: His face is that of a classical devil, pointy chin, arched eyebrows, lined forehead, narrow pointed nose. Blond hair and blue, almost colorless eyes. Clean-shaven, hair kept somewhat short. Medium height, average to above average fitness.

Background: Sam's a Freelance Detective, tapdancing along that tightrope between the pitch-black back alleys of the criminal underworld and the chrome-finish perfect smiles of the boardroom. Sam works with the police, and they like him as long as he doesn't step on their toes. He works with the crooks, and they like him as long as he isn't sniffing out their capers. He works with the corps, and they like him as long as he doesn't sniff too hard at their dirty work.

WHAT is your name: (Sir lancealot) Mirage
WHAT is your quest: (To find the holy grail!) To assassinate all hazards to "the project"
WHAT (is your favorite colour) are you like:  (Blue! it literally is) Has almost no morals and will 99.99% of the time follow orders, but usually put in his own input that pulls out the best result...

Age:??? but his appearence indicates that he is over 18 but under 30

Appearance: mostly covered in black dyed bandages and a top-of-the-line-prototype-not-released-to-anyone-else stealth suit (black with a few blue strips) which covers all of his body and makes it so he is 99.9% transparent when activated, there is only a tad bit of distortion which only a select few can notice...

On further inspection one will notice (if lucky enough to survive that long) that he has one dark blue eye and one red cyberoptic eye.
And if one is lucky enough, to see a strand of hair, they would notice that it was dyed blue.

background: Took in off the streets at a young age due to his ability to win almost any hand to hand fight and being able to sneak accidentily into a top security facility (He says in the hopes of food...) without being caught by anyone except the owner just exiting the room that the boy was about to enter...
Needless to say the owner was impressed and enrolled him into a special camp only used with cloned soldiers and into the owners own special school for assassins...

Heck, I'll join.
Name: Cheddarius
Quest: To make enough money to retire early and live comfortably
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Description: Wears vacuum-sealed spacesuit that obscures all features. It's made of mostly steel, with rubber and plastic joining parts together. A silvered visor lets light in but not out; cameras feed into a AR display inside the visor. A backpack on the back is filled with useful supplies, like rations, a sandbag, and a collapsible rail rifle (it's the future). The suit maintains homeostasis through various systems, like air conditioning and an internal humidifier. The suit also has minor useful tools, like a Swiss Army Knife and emergency spring-loaded steel darts in the sleeves. <Note: This is RP/wishful thinking. Clearly I can't actually have this amazing powersuit. So it shouldn't affect the game in any way, unless I lose something for it>
Background: Cheddarius came from a wealthy family, and had the benefit of going to the best private schools around, but when he was 16, his parents were murdered by the rogue lampshades of Zarkon 12 in the Andromeda system. Because his parents had neglected to fill out wills, the money was seized by the local government, as was the law. Destitute, he worked a part-time job to pay for basic food and shelter. When he turned 18, he joined the RAND Corp. armed forces and was assigned to Squadron November, hoping to use his army benefits to pay for college. After some time, he joined the sniper division on a rush promotion, was quickly trained in basic sniper training, and was shipped off to another planet to police local tribes in strife. Later, he completed more advanced training and was issued a state-of-the-art compact railgun-based sniper rifle with incredible range, and a specialized suit with an augmented-reality display to show various conditions to let him shoot over said range. He is currently on a mission to defend a vital RAND Corp. fortress against GE assault troops.

WHAT is your name? Uriel "Archangel" Cohen
WHAT is your quest? To become a famous hero
WHAT are you like?
Age: Mid twenties
Gender Sex: Male
Physical appearance: 6' 2", short red hair, grey-blue eyes, square faced with slightly pointy ears, nose looks like it has been broken, muscular and, when out of uniform, wears a black suit, including black shirt.
Background: The son of a devout Jewish father and an overbearing Catholic mother, Uriel grew up looking for a way to escape them, or at least stop them arguing about which faith he should belong to. One day when he was seventeen he stumbled upon a Unitarian church and became convinced that Unitarianism was for him. This move got him kicked out of home. He got part-time work in a shop and ended up living in a rented apartment with some other Young Quakers. When he turned eighteen he decided to join the army. He soon realised that that was where he was meant to be and became determined to be the best soldier that ever lived.

WHAT is your name? Rogers Malfred
WHAT is your quest? To find and kill the man who ruined my life
WHAT are you like?:
Age: 36
Physical: 5'8", brown eyes and black hair, Rogers looks like a man who hasn't have a decent day in his life. His hair is unkempt, as well as a scruffy beard, sporting the very popular Hobo look. He seems very "old", plagued with early wrinkles and dull eyes. He sports a ratty tan coat and matching blue jeans. the only nice part of his outfit is his boots, that seems spit shined.

Background: Rogers had a average good life. friends, home, car, stuff like that. However, at the age of 20, he was kidnapped, and taken to a secret lab. from that point on, he became a lab rat. he was experimented on, the most horrid thing done to him, and for the next 15 years he only prayed for death. Then he escaped, during a raid by government agents. He attempted to gain his old life back, when he found that all his records had been erased, as if he never existed. A nobody. Now the only thing keeping him going is revenge.

WHAT is your name? Neuf de Blizzard
WHAT is your quest? To stop being an idiot... sort of.
WHAT are you like? ...wait, aye em no idiot.
Age: Looks like in late teens to early twenties
Gender Sex: Female
Physical appearance: 5' 4". Neck-length Albino-blue hair. Has an ice-like appearance. Nearly always seen with a blue dress. Equipment includes a sort of glider-jetpack (that is, it helps you glide down and to assist in jumps, but aerial dogfights are not recommended). Is equipped with 6 swords which can be combined into a colessal sword. Also equipped with a cold-ray gun but apparantly extremely out of calibration, which renders it practically useless in a combat situation.
Background: Ex-Blizzard labs test subject, setup by an (unknown) Corpornation. Apparantly, she was the 9th one and was deemed surplus to requirements, perheps due to a lack of raw intelligence. That does not make her a less effective solider, but her capability in analysis and general tactical awareness is seriously not up to standard and is only comparable to an untrained teen. As she made here way in a very cliched display, she is now on a very cliched quest to regain her humanity and to restore her intellegence.

Advent (9) anyone?
* Wait, aye em no French. This is for flavour only.

Here's how I imagined the setting:
It is 10-20 years in the future. The governments has abandoned attempts at exploring space or colonizing other planets in the Solar System. Corporate power ever-increases, while that of governments' continue to decrease. Over the last three years a few corporations have begun building colonies on Mars and Luna, namely Stellar Constructs Inc, Patriot Aeronautics, and Utopian Future. Colonies are ruled with an iron fist, and colonists have no rights.

Anyway, you didn't you'd take the FIRST 7, and I want in.
Name: Frederick XV
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Goals: To found his own company, and eventually create his own colony on another planet.
Bio: His father had spent his life wishing he was an astronaut, but he couldn't handle the G-forces. His fantasy tales of space fascinated young Frederick, who decided his future was intertwined with space. He studied hard, and has recently graduated with his engineering major, and a business minor.

...Huh? Never saw it. I just like playing as hackers in sci-fi settings, and "Dragnar" sounds a bit out of place outside of fantasy worlds.
