Introducing a new story/setting, Roadtrip Through The Stars is a Sci-Fi space setting with some characters I’ve put together from originally different settings. So far these are the main characters, here’s some more info on them:

Species:

- Rezhi is part of a rather large amount of shapeshifters from another dimension, they generally don't leave but Rezhi is adventurous and likes exploring and interracting with others, their appearance is unknown as even Rezhi's main appearance is only an approximation of what they truly look like

- Mesmer is very secretive of their species, it is unknown what they are called but they have shared some bits of information, they are lizard-like, have scaly skin, but they are adapters and can modify their bodies slightly, adding fur, giving gills or other features to enable survival in different conditions, they are also quick learners and can learn a new language completely within a day

- Pierce is a cyborg though it is unknown what species the organic parts are, as they are also extremely secretive, though as they hail from the same planet as Techwright they are most likely either human or an anthropomorphic species

- Moff is a species called moth, not like the moths on Earth however, they are simply named after them as they as people did not come up with a name for themselves, simply going by the species found on Earth, they are rather similiar in appearance to moths but have proper fur and can survive in much colder environments, have large mouths that are completely hidden when closed, they are also somewhere between carnivores and omnivores, mainly eating meat, but capable of consuming most other things if necessary

- Critz is an unknown species aswell, he himself is unaware what he is aswell, as he was found orphaned in a pod, he is capable of moving with either all four limbs or just two, he can see in the dark and due to this his eyes glow in the dark

- Techwright is an anthropomorphic lizard, they are a rather common species on their planet and have features you'd expect from them

- Ratt is a Luris, something that looks somewhere between a dog and a rat but bipedal

- Crew is a Sovereign Mind, race of hivemind-like beings with no physical forms, so they take over host bodies

Planets:

- Rezhi is from an entirely different dimension

- Pierce and Techwright are from the same planet, inhabited by anthropomorphic animals and humans

- Mesmer and Critz are from unknown planets Critz is unaware of his homeplanet, Mesmer is just secretive

- Moff is from a moth planet, only recently discovered that has no space travel

- Ratt is from Luris homeplanet, a planet with huge differences in climates, from a desert area himself

- Crew is from Sovereign Minds’ homeplanet, a dark and desolate place, they don't really live there since they conquer other planets and rule over them

Clothes:

- Rezhi's people don't have the concept of clothes and so he doesn't wear clothes unless shapeshifted into a species that does, if he were to try clothes for his real form he uses in our dimension, he would like to try fancy suits, colourful ones most likely

- Mesmer wears a body suit with a transparent poncho over it, it is unknown what other members of his species wear

- Pierce wears a black full-body suit under their armor, then a thinner layer below their actual armor (think chainmail) along with their helmet, which shows their expressions beneath their mask, though it can be programmed to show whatever they want

- Moff does not wear clothes, and neither do any of their species generally, they are adapted to not wear any and it would just get in the way, some do wear accessories, Moff wears some occasionally

- Critz has custom-made clothes for his body-shape, he mostly prefers comfortable clothes like sweatshirts and pants, for engineering he has some more suited for the job

- Techwright wears mostly coats and a large scarf around their neck which usually covers their face aswell, along with their hero job gear, tech and weapons

- Ratt wears oversized sweaters and other loose clothing along with shorts, for his mechanic job he does have more protective gear aswell

- Crew does not wear clothes as they are currently in a robot body, their people wear clothes depending on the creature they are controlling

Bonus, Character Creation Origins:

- Rezhi was first made as a Chua in Wildstar, from there I kept making them in different games, mostly the ones I played enough to have multiple characters, their palette has always been bunch of bright colours

- Mesmer I made many years ago, the name and colour palette based on the mesmer profession from Guild Wars 2, the design itself I made as an OC for Wander Over Yonder, with the purpose of making an ask blog for them, which didn't last even a day, so they became just a general alien character

- Pierce I made as an OC for Nefarious game/comic, to be a mercenary working for Crow, whose minions armor design bits can still be seen on them

- Moff I made mostly out of inspiration to have a moth character and one with a huge hidden mouth

- Critz was originally made in Star Trek Online as bit of a half-joke, extremely tiny and feral captain of a ship, later I made him in Second Life using a ghoul body, the final design is a fusion of these two, as the STO design wasn't monstrous enough

- Techwright I saw in a dream, though their design was vague beyond bits and pieces so I commissioned an artist to do the design from there

- Ratt and Crew were designed by me specifically for this setting, with Ratt's design being inspired by Invader Zim combined with a dog, not Spiral Knights Gremlin despite ending up looking like one, oops, Crew is just basically a roomba

I am currently working on this story and am very interested in brainstorming it, so if people are interested, please send me asks about it to help me brainstorm stuff for it.
