Utterly Mad

So, the other day I had an idea, probably based slightly on my love of DIVOM. What if I threw together three races of creatures on a planet that none of them know anything about, told them to build some empires, and then saw what happened. Well, Xeno is that idea.

Races

Humans: Humans are biped intelligent creatures with a knack for curiosity and adaptation. They have no natural advantages other then their intellect but they tend to find solutions rapidly. They are weak in melee though their guns give them a powerful ranged advantage over most threats on Xeno.

Automatons: Robots to say the least, these beings do not need to eat or drink, they do however need to recharge themselves which means creating a station for recharge as well as finding a fuel source. They are not neccesarily skilled at combat, though they can be programmed that way, however they are the most durable of the races and can survive most blows. They are the most industrial of the races, creating specialized machines to find solutions to problems.

Arachnids: Insectoid species with focus on biological advancement. They can communicate over a five mile distance using antennae and rapidly share information with eachother, orders are distributed by a Hive Queen/Lord which receives information in real time. Though at first a colony is likely to be weak, after a while it's soldiers become the best intelligent melee race on Xeno. They reproduce in batches.

Obviously as you may have noticed there are only three races, this means that there can only really be three commanders. This doesn't mean that you can't be a player in the whole mess if all the commander spots are filled up but you won't have control over the race, just your own actions and maybe a squad if your commander gives you one.

More storyline will be given once players actually sign up, this planet will definitely be interesting though, don't doubt that.

Applications

Name:
Race:
Gender:
Personal Tools: [For humans and automatons]
Biological ability [For Arachnids, you can start with one ability, just make sure it isn't super OP]
Appearance:

Sounds good to me Lork.
Just remember to fill out dat app.

Rhodri, I like it.

What technology is the human civilization on this planet at?

Yeah I know. I kind of designed Councilate as a secretary. Y'know, because supercomputers need secretaries. Secretaries that are also supercomputers.

Name: Imperator Tarjan
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Personal Tools: [I assume this is what is special about the character] Tarjan came into power not through birth-right, but by guile and his masterful orator ability. Able to sway the hearts and minds of the Imperium, Tarjan was able to over throw the decadent Imperator Bokassa. Now in the seat of ultimate human power, he will be able to use the full force of his charisma and propaganda skills.
Biological ability:
Appearance: Tarjan came from a power background and this shows through his rather rough physique and his unorthodox appearance. He keeps his strange, purple hair long (much like the first Kings) and a full beard. He's tall of an Imperial.

Updating tomorrow, was waiting for the other 2 players.
