Who Are You?

Everyone is the hero of their own story. So who are you? And what's your story? Follow along to build your character and explore the galaxy through their eyes.
Choose a planet of residence, skill specialty, and organization affiliation by checking boxes below. You can have one active selection in each category, but can change at any time.
Review your character's starting bio and read related articles to learn what information your character would likely know. Adjust your selections if you think something else would fit better.
Expand your bio in a comment. What's your character's name? What do they look like? What hobbies do they have? What brought them to this point in their life?
Explore! Your character's history will unlock extra information in articles about topics they have a personal connection with. It may be a minor experience, or perhaps a bigger secret.*

A planet of eternal ocean, our homes are on the backs of giant sea creatures. Respect for the sea drives us all. I am Tormian
I'm a creature of the night...planet. We may never see the sun, but we do attract the brightest psionic scholars. I am Xerosian
My home is whatever ship, station, or rock I happen to be on. The galaxy is too big to ever stay in one place. I am a Spacer

This was incredibly fun, and a neat way to feel connected to talos! This is such a clever use of subscriber groups, I love it.

Have a wonderful day!

The Preceptor Archive! The largest and oldest library in the sector :D they run the Preceptor Institute, the only school that trains preceptors of the Archive. Preceptors are basically the superheroes of the librarian world.

I'm Gart Nobble, one of a handful of accountants that make sure the Invincibles get paid for their biggest contracts -- which is just barely lucrative enough to pretend that I'm as rich as everybody else on Kuwei. In order to make money, you've gotta be where money is.

That's AMAZING! And the result is so fitting. It might be fun to develop something like this for my world. Thank you so much for the inspiration.

Summer Camp is back! Rippling waves lead you to my answers of this year's prompts.

Let me know if you do develop something like this, I'd love to see your take on the idea!

My name is Veryan Kai. As someone whose been interested in the things I can tinker with, its been tricky living on a planet just starting on their uplift, but its enough to get by with. My thin frame and lithe fingers have made me a prime candidate for fixing the ancient technology from before the Involuntary Uplift and selling it on. I was drafted by The Syndicate to help in getting the old tech from this planet, in return for enough supplies to get my own more advanced off world tech. I'm better scrounging on my own than dealing with other people. I learned that being born in the end of the Battle of Talmar, I was lucky to avoid much of the conflicts across the planet, my parents weren't.

And on another note, I am SO tempted to make my own version of this now <3

Veryan sounds like a badass. Talmar's a rough place for a techie, but I bet the Syndicate is hooking them up with all kinds of goodies.   You get a gold star for introducing your character!

You can call me Cateon, pleasure to meet ya. If ya ever need some help with any kind of machine, feel free to send a message and I'll fix it; and if you happen to have an old machine you don't want anymore, I'll be more than happy to get rid of it for ya. I'm a lonely bird, flying the starry night with my trusty Mei, my spaceship. I was born flying across stars and I'll die doing so. While I work as a mechanic, my heart resides with history and it's conservation, especially about their old machines. Show me an old piece of machinery and I'll forget about the world until I figure it out and make a schematic of it.

Apr 27, 2025 22:06 by Rin Garnett

For some reason I can only read this in a US southern accent. I imagine Cateon has all sorts of strange gadgets and antiquated tech stored all over Mei, and at least three drawers full of cables that will definitely be useful some day!   Have a gold star for completing your character intro!

Had to search up how US southern accent sounds like but YES ABSOLUTELY! And they also absolutely have all sort of gadgets, useless tech, old tech, cables, gears, random pieces of metal scrap, etc. Mei is proooobably not a safe environment to be in... and for sure not organized (altho they SWEAR it's organized in their mind)
