♫Well the sun is shinin' But it don't feel good Don't smile down on this neighborhood When I go walkin' through this stinkin' town Mister, I keep my eyes down...♫
The banged-up dune buggy bounced over another rut, its tacked-on 50 Cal swinging loosely as the gunner dozed in the back. They had gotten their hands on an old music tape, and, after hours of tinkering, had finally gotten it to work. Their out-of-tune voices joined in with the tape. They skidded to a stop as they arrived at their destination: A small town known as Haven. They hopped over their vehicle's roll bar and began walking towards a supply store, where a man in a wheel-chair sat on the porch. He sighed as they walked by, "I assume you're searching for the cache". "How did you guess that?", said the driver. "This is the only town 'fore ya hit the Badlands. No one goes out there unless there lookin' for somethin'. Last few who went out never made it back..."
(Basically, it's these people on a desert planet. It's kinda like "Mad Max", but Sci-Fi. There's a cache of alien technology, and treasure-hunters from all over want to get their hands on it. But there are risks, however, such as creatures that wouldn't mind eating you for lunch or poisoning you as you slept, as well as rival treasure-hunters and gangs that are willing to do anything to claim the treasure as their own....)

The Ks'zac'uwakBiologyThe insectoid Ks'zac'uwak were bipedal in form, their lanky frames covered in a hardened exoskeleton that averaged 1.2 to 2 meters tall. This shimmered a metallic-jade color in sunlight. Their pronounced heads were small and bulbous in form, dominated by two large jewel-like eyes. Extending from their abdomen to each wrist joint was a thin chitinous membrane. It could unfold into a para-wing providing limited gliding capacity. Under standard gravity conditions, a Ks'zac'uwak could glide somewhere between 60 and 100 meters, depending on wind conditions. A Ks'zac'uwak walks on four limbs. A large landing area was required, with a Kz'zac'uwak typically requiring approximately 6 meters of flat surface to make a successful running landing. Ks'zac'uwak hands ended in numerous fingers, and their legs were double jointed. Ks'zac'uwak walked either upright or hunched over, using all four limbs for locomotion. Ks'zac'uwak commonly had spikes extending from their exoskeletons; on their heads, torso and limbs. ------------ HistoryThe Ks'zac'uwak, being an intelligent, adaptible species, evolved from their insectoid precursors on the jungle planet of T'srek'lurone. They flourished, becoming an artistic, emotional people. The insect race loved their high-oxygen homeword, and became rather docile and pacifistic... Their artwork was incredible, and they began to expand. Space travel using clean, efficient fuels, and they only armed their ships with weak plasma weaponry. The idealistic race soon learned their folly. A hideous race of demented beings, shadowy freaks of nature, attacked them. The Ravagers struck. Quickly, what few worlds the Ks'zac'uwak had were extinguished. The telepathic insects were driven to the brink of insanity when the Ravagers finally reached beautiful T'srek'lurone. The poor, artistic species made one last-ditch effort to survive. They poured all their energy into their science, quickly throwing together three compounds in their greatest cities, all inside of mountains. The occupants of all the cities put themselves in cryostasis, hiding in their cities. They also put 40 of each species of plant and animal- four over the necessary number for the survival of a spacies- in all three cities. In their capital city of Trer'or'kutoona'a, they placed their best AI in charge. One of the great mountain cities was obliterated from orbit. Their underwater city remained hidden, but all the sentries were deactivated accidentally, but the pods with the citizens inside contained their occupants. Trer'or'kutoona'a, however, survived the assault. But a number of Ravagers got inside. A large number of pods were compromised, but the AI used all means necessary to contain the Ravagers... After thousands of years, the Ravagers inside the city are few in number. As are the surviving Cryopods- the surviving ones are only forty-seven in number, and all sealed within layer upon layer of blast doors. He must keep them safe. The outside jungles have been turned into a desert wasteland, devoid of almost all life. Only Trer'or'kutoona'a, and A'lara'alaa, the ocean city, are intact. The mountain city has the trapped Ravagers, and the ocean city- or rather, the one buried in what used to be an ocean- is hidden and unopenable. TechnologyAdvanced AIThe Advanced AI is a sentient computer program that can either manifest itself as a holographic projection, or simply control the systems it currently inhabits.. in this case, the only two surviving AI control the two last citites- one, containing the Ocean Citadel, is inactive, but sane, and the other is fully insane and active. Plasma SluggerA powerful plasma launcher that fires moderate-speed, incredibly powerful plasma bolts of a jade hue. They explode upon impact, and can pierce a tank's hull. This was one of the last-resort weapons that the insectoid race used. Plasma RifleThis high-speed plasma weapon fires small bolts of high-intensity blue plasma out of its front via little ammo containers of the deadly substance. It's best when dual wielded, and was used in the battles against the Ravagers... ((BTW, I control the two AIs..))

So... I don't understand what I'm supposed to do... Did Ares invent that species or is it from something? Do I make up a species?

Ok, it has the same elements of a post-apocalyptic rp. A buncha rag-tag guys in the middle of nowhere, tryin' to make the best of what they have. (Which means lotsa heavily modified weapons, vehicles, etc.). We are trying to find a rumored cache of Alien technology, which are the guys in the picture above.

Ok. You can pick pretty much any real-world weapon, or you can make your own here: pimpmygun.doctornoob.com/app.htmlOr, you can tell me a class (Heavy Machine Gun, Sniper Rifle, Carbine, etc.) and I'll make one for you.

I think I'll have an MP40, because they're bad-ass.

You can have a primary weapon (In this case, your MP40), and a pistol,SMG, or carbine as secondary. I can also modify an MP40 for your character (laser sight, scope, etc.) if you want.

Basically, as Sparty said, the aliens I posted were the original inhabitants of the planet. Only the ancient city which is now what everyone wants to break in on, plus an untouched hidden one which won't become important until later on are all that's left...
Excluding the insane A.I. that I RP for this who's defending the cache- I'm the primary enemy, basically. Also, the other A.I. for the hidden city is currently battling via cybernetic sabotage and warefare with the first one mentioned...
So basically, it's all you treasure hunters vs. each other vs. the A.I. vs. the remaining Ravagers in the city...
And the goals:
Treasure hunters- get to the weapons cache and steal the big guns.
A.I. (my two characters): Direct my robotic minions to defend the city and its cryopods from the defenders, as well as contain and kill the Ravagers.
Ravagers: Kill everything

What is a Ravager, and who will you be until we find the cache?

What is a Ravager, and who will you be until we find the cache? (1) A ravager is just a random monstrous creature- basically, a killing machine with the IQ of a dolphin... These things I don't think we should put these in the RP, other than a few NPCs from inside the city. (2) I'll just be the AI, and by extension, his robotic sentinels and robots....
