Wolf Rawrrr
Wolf-Knight
Beyond the far reaches of the universe, looming at the very edge of the Abyss itself, lies the frozen world of Nivirres. Once forgotten, this forsaken planet has just reminded the galaxy of its existence. A mysterious pillar of unreal light surged forth from its surface with such intensity that it was seen from across immeasurable distances. It appeared to have struck against an invisible wall of space, exploding in a fallout of particles and forming an impossibly bright nebula which defied the very laws of the cosmos. The Brightest Star, as it came to be called, seemed to emanate sheer cold and a force field that pushed all nearby matter away from its center.
This phenomena immediately drew attention of the rest of the universe, including the Guild Alliance. Vessels were sent to investigate, but one by one the ships were destroyed by advanced weapon fire originating from Nivirres. It became clear that in order to discover the true nature of the Brightest Star, it was necessary to deal with the threat on the frozen planet.
So the Alliance organized a covert operation, sending a single ship with a crew of professionals to search Nivirres and eliminate any and all found opposition. On a mission of the utmost importance they sent only the best.
They sent you.

/ General Information ////////////////////////////
Genre: Sci-Fi
The game takes place in the year 2873, featuring a futuristic vision of human civilization that has expanded throughout the universe, as well as encompassing other discovered species and technology.
Style: Freeform Points System
The roleplay is based on forum posting in a relatively freeform fashion, yet utilizes the FPS - Freeform Points System. Like in a computer RPG, the characters are defined with skills and assigned points which effect almost everything they do. However, the players themselves are not concerned with metagame thinking in their post. No dice is cast, and the Storyteller's mind serves as the computer processor. He takes into account all the numbers, plain logic, and random odds to produce the result of the players' freeform postings. In this system, all numbers are first and foremost mere references, assigned to skills, abilities, enemies and weapons - and they are dynamic.
Number of Players: 4-8
Due to the game story and idea, this is the desired number of players. Also, once the RPG starts new players will be able to join, but only for a while.
Storyteller: Renarion Arenimon
The one and only, the game master and absolute authority within the game.

/ Background Story //////////////////////////////
As the human race advanced in technology, so it did in exploration and knowledge of the universe itself. New planets were discovered and colonized, new alien species encountered. Through wars and truces the human expansion finally reached its peak - the founding of the Guild Alliance.
The Alliance was initially made up from humans and turians, with the asari joining soon afterwards. Each of the three races had its own Guild space, and the Joint Council ruled from a neutral-declared planet located in the heart of the Alliance. Though the universe outside Alliance space was filled with diverse sentient races, few have shown lasting interest for joining.
The Guild Alliance is currently the most powerful force in the known universe.
