any info on the c'tan?

[Tenacity]

I've got plans to make an alien character... still having trouble deciding what ship/ID to use for now, but needless to say the whole point of the character is to scare the bloody piss out of everyone it comes across.

Currently thinking about using a deep space explorer (kusari explorer or spatial) or some kind of transport ship, with the idea that the crew onboard 'found' the alien(s) and were slaughtered by them or taken as hostages.

I just need some info on currently known alien races (daam k'vosh, c'tan, etc.) to work the RP around them as either a new race or part of one of those.

Any suggestions on 'scary' looking ships that might be appropriate, or ID's which could be used, would be welcome.

Well really the only alien race available right now is the Nomads, and in order to gain access to them you need to be accepted by the keepers. Other than that, there's really no ID or Ship...

The Daam K'Vosh were a mysterious, incredibly powerful sapient race existant at least as late as the Cretaceous period (145,550,000-65,500,000 BC) and were the creators of the Slomon K'Hara.

Nothing is known of Daam K'Vosh physiology and biology. They were a race of scientists and experimenters, creating and modifying species for curiosity and amusement. A major Daam K'Vosh political entity was the Daam K'Vosh Empire, a galactic and possibly multigalactic empire numbering at least two member species.

At some point prior to 0 AS, the Daam K'Vosh disappeared from the known universe. The cause of such an event is still unknown even to the Slomon K'Hara. Xenoarchaelogist Professar Roland Quintane remarked shortly before the end of the Nomad War that he had found no signs of a war, natural disaster or disease around the time of the Daam K'Vosh's disappearance.

Nothing is known about the C'Tan, save that they were relatively young at the time of the Daam K'Vosh but still powerful, have an Empire and are the Phantoms superiors. It's probable they are on the same, unimaginable continuum of power as the Daam K'Vosh. Roleplaying as an actual member of them.. no. They are so far beyond the tech level of Sirius as to make the Slomon K'Hara sunkiller look like a water pistol. You'd also be able to control the Phantoms and the Slomon K'Hara (if you were a C'Tan or K'Vosh, respectively) like a bunch of ants.

Also mentioning, the C'Tan is ofcourse restricted to Phantom RP only... So I wouldn't suggest trying to base anything off that.

Oh no.

Why did you have to ask?

*prepares for Preatyre's 18,000 word post on Nomads and the like*

Anyways, there really isn't a whole lot besides what will be in the inevitable link regarding the "History of the Nomads" or whatever. Plus, good luck with this. Alot of people have robbled at this in the past... *cough* You know who you are. Although I've always been for the introduction of something like this, most others haven't been for the reason of, "Oh, they'd pwn everything with their uber technology".

And you'll probably get some of that too... Even though it probably just used its psychic mind beams and F'd with the crew. But umm... Yeah, there aren't really any "scary" ships in FL. You'd need something spikey and intimidating... Hmm... Perhaps a BH expedition? They have a reason to be around where the aliens might have been, and it'd be a change from the usual "Order in teh alien spacez" or Corsairs... Or Outcasts.

Good luck!

P.S. If it's interactive I'll participate!

-Edit- Oh... Guess mine was longer than Preatyre's.:PI started typing when it was only Tenacity's first post.
-Double Edit- I called it. "Too high-tech". It's okay, Tenacity. I'll still be optimistic.

The character wont be a nomad, i've already decided on that. I was more looking at information on the political relations of the different alien super-powers to try and fit hints of an additional species in there.

here's the sig I came up with, scary enough? =P



Was thinking something along the lines of the phantoms, but I doubt I'd get into that faction anyways and they're really just genetically altered humans, not aliens.

If I was doing another race, I'd make it a subject race of the C'Tan or the K'Vosh. Something from outside Sirius, who in the case of the C'Tan would regard the Phantoms like the Gestapo or in the case of the K'Vosh regard the Slomon K'Hara like the military.

Tyranids?
Zerg?
Flood?
Starship trooper alien whatsits?

All sorts of creepy alien races out there, just gotta look for them:)

[Magoo!]

Yeah.

If these people can pull of Battlestar Galactica and the Mandalorians, I'm sure you can pull off a seperate alien species.

looking for something more fitting of the freelancer universe, though I did use zerg for that signature image.

And praetyre... that might work... basing the alien race as a subservient species to one of the existing super races - and if I went with c'tan that'd let me use the phantom ID as well (though it still requires admin/faction approval and I've had bad luck regarding that in the past... my wilde character was never approved despite the effort i put into the story =(
