DescriptionDuring the Exodus, mankind had spread through the galaxy like a plague. Well, some humans considered expansion a matter of survival. Other called it the New Manifest Destiny. For others it was merely the drive to explore. And for others it was to spread some divine belief. Take your pick. Most established religions in those days turned a blind eye toward atrocities committed in the name of their choice of divine being. Mankind made a lot of enemies. And some of those enemies were themselves. It was a self-perpetuating cycle of hate, violence, and arrogance. But that has been the history of Mankind since biblical days. Humans became feared and hated as the most dangerous species in the galaxy. Many races sought to purge the galaxy of the race of Man before it could spread.

True to the fears of that small group mankind would find itself on the brink of extinction, the remnants of a once great race scattered across galaxies. A small group of this order survived a cataclysmic end in suspended animation. Their lifeboat would be discovered adrift in space by a small group of scavengers intent on salvage… Characters should be submitted as normal humans, with appearance, career interests, hobbies, demeanors, motivations, and backgrounds.
