Xiscapians Physically
Homo Vulpes
These Xiscapians are humanoid, and, at first glance, look human. Though they resemble humans in nearly every way, they have fox tails and ears, their regular ears are pointed, they have longer and sharper canines then a human has. They also have yellow eyes, many different colors of hair, including green, purple, and blue. They are much faster and more graceful then any human could ever hope to be, and are naturally deadly in hand-to-hand combat. Xiscapians have very acute hearing superior to their human counterparts, and after being exposed to cold for an extended period of time, a kitsune will grow "winter-fire", extra fur on the tail and ears for warmth, a evolutionary throwback from the fox.
Just as a Terran would call himself or herself human, Xiscapians call themselves Kitsune. Age on a Xiscapian can be deceptive: When one may seem to be in his or hers twenties or thirties, they may actually be in their sixties or seventies. This is due to the fact that after an Xiscapian reaches adulthood, his or her body continues working without appearing to age until a few decades before the end of their life. In rare cases, kitsune have gone hundreds of years without appearing to age, reaching up the three hundred years.
Vulpes Vulpes
The other half of the population are bekko-kitsune (different), those who were changed as a result of a disease released into the Xiscapian population by unknown a person or persons. After passing out, the infected exhibit no mental activity beyond basic functions, and are effectively in a coma. The duration of the coma varies from person to person, some wake from it in as little as a day, for others it takes a full fortnight. Some, the weak, the sick, the elderly and those in hazardous or isolated conditions, died from the infection. However, fatalities were kept to a minimum by quick responses, effective work and conditioning and medical technology. During the coma, though, the infected person changes abruptly, usually beginning within the first hour and lasting until about ten minutes before the kitsune wakes.
This change continues to fascinate doctors, and is probably the most significant event occurring to the Xiscapians since the end of the Korr war. The infected lose many of their human-like qualities: The body is molded and shaped; they become more fox-like than human. The body is covered in fur, almost always an identical color and hue as the original fur, and the visage is warped, the nose completely gone and altered into a muzzle, teeth mutating accordingly. The eyes stay the same, but the 'lower' or 'bottom' 'human' ears vanish entirely, and the fox ears remain intact, more-or-less in the same area as before. The kitsune retains the humanoid, erect posture and form, without claws or nails on the hands or feet, but for some confounding reason also keep their original hair, strange when it is considered the body is one hundred percent covered in fur. The aside from the eyes, the tail is the only part that remains entirely unaffected.
Location
The Xiscapians inhabit a system on the Galactic Rim, or whatever you may call it. They live in a solar system with a single medium yellow sun, and, aside from various asteroids and comets, comprises of four planets:
Lins:
The closest planet to the star, Lins is small, rocky, hot planet. Devoid of any life, with daytime surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead and no significant deposits of valuable minerals, it has been almost entirely ignored aside from a few scientific expeditions and the occasional military weapons test. Some proposals have drawn up the construction of a colony or military base on the world, but there has been little interest from potential colonists and the Xiscapian Imperial Military has already heavily fortified the system and there would be considerable logistical problems in supplying and reinforcing such a base or instillation. For the moment Lins is unimportant and not an area of any concentration.
Korrillia:
Hundreds of times larger than Lins and having slightly more surface area than Xiscapia, Korrillia was once home to a race of brutal, warlike people known as the Korr (http://photobucket.com/mediadetail/?media=http%3A%2F%2Fi193.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fz172%2FHaloPlayer2007%2Fbrute.jpg&searchTerm=bru te&pageOffset=9), who colonized the planet several years after the Xiscapians founded Xiscapia. From the inception of civiliazation, Korrillia was heavily industrialized, thirty percent of the planet covered in factories devoted to making machines and componets for machines, while much of the usable remaining area was used for labs and cloning centers that produced food the feed the massive Korr population. Pollution was heavy, and after a millenia of abuse, combined with ferocious warfare between both the Korr Supremacy and the Xiscapian Empire, and, after that, warring Korr factions, turned the entire planet into a wasteland. Korrilia in the aftermath. (Jomstar:[/B]
The blue colored gas giant seperating Korrillia and Xiscapia, Jomstar has over seventy sattelites orbiting it, many of which hold Xiscapian scientific research stations, military bases, sensory outposts and the ruins of both Korr and kitsune fortresses and strongholds from the days of the Korr War. Almost the entire Korr War was fought on or among these moons, adding a great deal of destroyed vessels and wreckage to the classic ring of debries that orbits the planet. A great deal of defensive weaponry is said to be hidden on or around the moons or even inside the gasous world itself, and the sector is scanned and patrolled heavily by the Xiscapian Imperial Navy to deter pirates, enemy nationals or other criminals from attempting to settle or make bases on them.
Xiscapia:
The fourth and final world of the Xiscapian system, Xiscapia is home to the fox-like race of kitsune, ruled by the Kitsune Empire of Xiscapia.
Geography
Xiscapia is 68% water, and has three huge continents: Padga, to the north, is cool and wet, with warm rainy summers, lush springs, cool, brisk fall, and cold, dead winter. It is covered in thick forests and crisscrossing streams and rivers. It's mostly flat in the middle and to the east, but to the west there is hills, unbroken until they reach the sea, and to the north are the mighty Alkresh mountains. The eastern most continent, called Forworn, is sparsely populated. To the east is rolling plains and rugged platues. Jungles to the west and south are broken only by occasional rivers. The continent has only three major cities, with a handful of minor towns but countless villages and nomadic villages. To the west is Slipslah. About half, the western half, is desert. It has nice coasts and mountains to the far west. To the east and north is fertile farmland. The south holds little for anyone, just a huge amount of infertile dirt and ragged trees. Most of the cities here are along the coast, with the inner parts of the continent vastly unsettled. This houses most of Xiscapia’s factories, farms, and natural resources. To Padga's West is the Island of the Dead, where notable kitsune, including great warriors, Emperors and Empresses, and heros are laid to rest. Also to it's West is the island of Vador, which is paradise and quite a tourist attraction. To Slipslah's West there is the island of Glega, which is largely a farming area. A few miles East is the island Providence, with a city of the same name. The island is a popular haven for offworlders, second only to Tenfour. To Forworn's West there is the islands of Rune, which are covered in the ruins of an ancient civilization (see XISCAPIAN CULTURE). We have two moons, both of which rise at night, Kel and Regalis. Kel's rocky surface is inhabited by about 1 Million Xiscapians, while Regalis is a barren, lava-filled place. Kel has colonies set up on it, and is a mining center, and rich in Guilda crystals, which power most of our technology, as well as silver, gold, and gems. Regalis, is a molten lava world, dotted only by high strong rocks which were once mountains and many volcanos. It is unihabited.

Freighters with holds full of ore go down to Xiscapia often, bringing Guilda crystals (power crystals used to power spacecraft), silver, and cortosis, a durable metal which is resistant to plasma. Warships are made of this metal, as well as some hardened buildings. The Syndicate have a stong presence here.

Jade Rose (http://www.1999.co.jp/dbimages/user/hobby/itbig/10051368a.jpg)
Age: 38
Height: 5,7
Force Abilities: High
Jade Rose is the wife of Foxfire Rose, making her the Empress of Xiscapia. She was born into an aristocratic family, the daughter of an ambassador and a starship Captain. She was always surronded by luxery and wealth, provided for in all ways. Jade disliked the way her parents tried to pamper and shelter her from the outside world, and often rebelled against them, with mixed results. While she always achieved high grades in school, she tended to hang around with the poorer kids, abhoring the often arrogant upper class children. Finally Jade left after completing her schooling and became, against all expectations and to the abject horror of her parents, a pilot for a small transport company. Jade and Foxfire met when Foxfire saved Jade and the passenger freighter (http://www.kitsune.addr.com/Rifts/Rifts-PW-Vehicles/Cargo_Master_Freighter.jpg) she was piloting from a Korr boarding party, occurring during a dispute with the Korr near Jomstar many years ago, when Foxfire was still a soldier. They married a short time after and have stayed together ever since.

Krystal (https://www.artspots.com/account/new)
Age: 33
Height: 5,4
Force Abilities: Low
Krystal is the Grand Admiral of the Xiscapian Imperial Navy. Despite her young appearance, Krystal is a ruthless tactical mastermind. She was discovered at the Xiscapian Naval Academy, and was immediately put into service, despite the fact that she was two years too young at the time. She is responsible for nearly all of Xiscapia's space victories in the Korr war, and received the Alversian Banner of Freedom and the Xiscapian Sword of Honor, the two highest awards given in those respective nations at the time of issue, as well as numerous other awards for her actions then and in wars and conflicts over the years. The Korr war, however, left her scarred, both physically and spiritually. She ordered Code Shining Glory, which annhilated the unstoppable Korr army and halted the Korr advance into Xiscapia, but destroyed the Xiscapian and Alversian armies during the battle of Tenfour. This caused her much guilt, and over the years she has suffered from several attempted assassinations, further damaging the kitsune. Her flagship is the battleship Pride of the Empire.

Age: 40
Height: 5,6
Force Abilities: Low
Vist is the governor of the Cholk system. Her story begins in the final hours of the Korr war. She was a Shadow Ops trooper at the time, sent down with her squad to assassinate key Korr leaders and generals to prevent an uprising after the Capitol was taken. Unfortunately, her shuttle was shot down by Korr AA fire while on descent. After the Korr Capitol had been captured a medical team was sent to find the lost shuttle. Guided by the beacon placed in the shuttle, the med team quickly found Vist and her comrades at the shuttle's crash site. Vist was the only one to survive the crash, the pilot and her four squad mates had been killed upon impact. She was badly injured, with burns over 70% of her body. She was taken onto the Medical Ship Crystal Star, and given treatment. She was in a coma for several days. Soon she awoke. Under the doctors treatment, she soon regained the power of speech and movement. Foxfire himself visited her on the ship. He asked her what the one thing she wanted most was. She replied that of all things, she would wish to prevent this from happening to others and protect Xiscapia. Once the colony in Cholk was established, Vist, though Emperor Foxfire, was appointed governor of it. Vist covers herself in bandages and a body suit to hid her burned body. She undergoes treatments for the burns, but they are long and painful. She is now almost as fast and graceful as she was before the crash. She defends the system from pirates and marauders fiercely. Her love for Xiscapia and fury against Xiscapia's enemies is matched only by Durc.

Ginta (http://yami0204.deviantart.com/art/ShinRa-Research-Scientist-Huan-30798880)
Age: 43
Height: 5,9
Force Abilities: Low
Ginta is the leader of the Scientific Advisory Board, and is employed by the government in both military and non-military scientific work. He oversaw the terraforming of Korrilia, the excavation of Old Xiscapia, the discovery of the Forerunner ship, and does many field projects on the ruins in Xiscapia. He is an overall good man, intelligent, enthusiastic and quick-thinking, but easily flustered and tends to run or hide if things get hot in the area he is working in.
It requires a very unusual mind to undertake the analysis of the obvious. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ARJRCcfY_A)
Kartosh (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Samuel_Vimes.jpg)
Age: 34
Height: 6,1
Force Abilities: Medium
Kartosh was born in Tenfour. His parents were both soldiers who met on the battlefield, and he was raised with the expectation that he, too, would be a soldier. Indeed, his good reflexes, accuracy with a weapon, and above average proficincy with mechanics marked him for a future as either a battle engineer or perhaps even a Shadow Ops. In school, however, Kartosh was lazy, rarely turning up to class. All his teachers said he was a smart, intelligent child, but he simply wouldn't apply himself. The only subjects which ever seemed to interest him involved either combat or working in a mechanics class. He graduated, barely, because he picked up in the last couple of years and passed with extremely high marks, propelling him into graduates. He was immediatly sent to military school, and trained as a engineer and pilot. He dropped out halfway though, however, and, after buying a used ore hauler with credits he had saved up, vanished. During the Korr Wars he returned to smuggle information and people though Korr lines, changing ships almost as fast as he changed contracts. As the war began to draw to a close, Kartosh saved enough money to have a ship yard somewhere produce the Star Snake, which he used for smuggling and mercenary activities. Kartosh lives and works only for his ship, his mate Skyler, and profit. He can be cold at times, with little regard for sentiant life. However, he does warm up at times (usually though Skyler's coaxing), and is usually merel grumpy. He has been labeled as "a nusiance" by Custom Officals and, while Korr, Xiscapian, Alversian, and even Danaversian ships have attempted to catch him and his ship multiple times, he has yet to be caught.

Skyler (http://ionen.deviantart.com/art/Tanake-Trang-Jedi-52363021)
Age: 28
Height: 5,7
Force Abilities: Medium
Born of a merchant and a journalist, Skyler grew up on Kel, the rocky mining moon above Xiscapia. She always was passionate about things she believed in, but feirce in protecting them. She graduated the middle of her class, and went to trade school to become a teacher in combat, specifically unarmed, close quarters. However, she was unable to mantain the correct amount of semester points and dropped out, getting some training from a corperation which employed mercenaries. Skyler was originally a guard on a cargo ship. The ship, the Retarded Ant, named after the ship's nav computer, which was defective, was a meduim-sized ship that hauled supplies out to Xiscapian troops stationed on one of Jomstar's many moons. One transport the moon which they were delievering to was counter-attacked by Korr forces. Skyler's ship lost a wing and crash-landed on the moon's surface. The pilot was killed on impact, and the co-pilot was killed when his spacesuit ruptured and exposed him to vacuum. Skyler was captured by Korr soldiers and imprisoned on the moon. The Korr counter-attack was successful and Skyler, along with several other soldiers that had been stationed there, were POWs under the Korr. During that time all the other prisoners were tourtured and killed, or commited suicide. Finally Skyler was the only one left. She was tourtured only once, for a brief matter of minutes, but it was extremely painful. During that time Kartosh happened to be flying back from a blockade run and was intercepted and nearly destroyed by Korr fighters. He angled his ship straight into the prison complex, almost leveling it and killing all but a few inside. He managed to escape the burning wreckage of his ship, and was ambushed by Korr soldiers. Skyler had been in a underground level of the prison, but the room had collapsed and killed her captors. She made her way to the surface, where, dispite her weakness and injuries, fought off the Korr attacking Kartosh. She and he stole into the hanger, highjacking a patrol ship, and escaped in the ensuing chaos and confusion. She agreed to be his partner, and is simultaneously his partner, lover, co-pliot and gunner, and also his balancing force, offsetting his uncaring for others and look-out-for-number-one outlook with her compassion and grace.

Silvertooh and Nightshade Rose (sorry, no pciture is avaliable at this time)
Age: Nineteen, both
Height: 6,1 and 5,8 respectivelly
Force Abilities: Extremely High
Silvertooth and Nightshade are the twin son and daughter of James and Vila, nephew and neice of Emperor Foxfire Rose.
Silvertooth and Nightshade were conceived in hope for James and Vila to pass on the mantle of Chaos to heirs. However, they gave birth to twin bekko, an unheard of penemonon. Unfortunatly for Silvertooth and Nightshade, bekko are seen as being blessed by Qonn, and James and Vila wanted nothing to do with the Xiscapian god. So they looked after them minimally until they got the chance to hand them over to North Calaverans for a large sum of money and an undoubtbly gruesome fate. By this point ten years had passed, and the two were mere children. They spent four years with the Calaverans before the Observer was attacked and nearly destroyed by Danaversians. For five years they underwent Danaversian captivity before finally being transferred to Jorga the Hutt, again for a large amount of money. There they were rescued by Flag Captain Cavourna, Captain Nigripes, Kartosh and Skyler, who helped them escape on the Star Snake. After a Danaversian attack which Silvertooth and Nightshade single-handedly repelled and destroyed an entire Danaversia boarding party and destroyed the Barracuda battleship from whince they came, they jumped away. After threatening those aboard to get them away from the Xiscapian Empire, where they were sure they would be killed because they were children of the leaders of the Rebellion, they were taken into custody by Xiscapian forces. From there they met the Emperor Foxfire Rose who, to their shock, welcomed them in with open arms. From there they were cared for and took part in the Battle of Resistance by attempting to kill Vila. To this day they have an extreme hatred of North Calaverans, Danaversians and Hutts for the abuse they received at each species hands.
Our allegiance is not to any state, race, people or ideal; our first and only alliance is to each other. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKY5R_cHgwo)
The Five
They are called the Những con hoang Bodominjärvi by Xiscapians, which translates loosly from Xiscapian into Galactic Commom as ’Bastards of Bodom’, or are simply referred to as ’The Five.’ While the Những con hoang Bodominjärvi is an ancient secret society which has been with the Xiscapians since the Transformation, The Five have only recently been formed within this organization by the nephew of the Emperor, Silvertooth Rose. The Five consist of the original twin bekko Silvertooth and Nightshade Rose, nephew and neice of the Emperor respectively, and three apostoles who are seen as equals. The exact identities of these apostoles is not widely known, and while the Những con hoang Bodominjärvi have roughly a thousand followers, mostly disciples who are former priests or soldiers who fight alongside them for the bloodlust they gain while in combat around any of The Five, the exact nature of group and the goals of the two true bekko and their three partners remain a mystery. It is not known percisely where the twins reside, though officially they live in the Imperial Palace, both, but Silvertooth especially, are highly reclusive and almost paranoidly secretive.
When deployed in combat, which is always according to their own discretion, the member of The Five in question always enters a state of intense bloodlust. Exactly how and why this occurs is not known, but it almost always starts near the beginning of the battle, and does not appear to recede until either all the enemy soldiers are dead or some distance away. During this time of rage the reactions of all of the members in the face of the enemy vary, ranging from ruthless efficency to bezerker-like charging. Strange mental afflictions, feats of devestating physical strength, speed, agility and endurance, psychic, magical and otherwise supernatural abilities have all been reported by observers in the field and eyewitnesses from both allied and enemy sides. As far as any outsider can tell, the disciples report only to one of The Five, and the only one who has any authority over them in the Emperor himself.

The Syndicate
The void left when Lord Morga the Muri, Kingpin of the Xiscapian city of Tenfour, had been filled by rivaling gangs and crooked businessmen all seeking a piece of the criminal empire. Fatum, a professional private assassin, had been one of the last people to ever see Morga on Xiscapia, and though he had the blessing of the former crime lord, he entered the city as an unknown. However, he had three major advantages over his competitors: He had taken control of many of the thugs, gangsters and contacts Morga had left behind, he had all the skills of an assassin, and he was very intelligent. Leading his own men, he swiftly gained possession of most of Morga's old holdings, ruthlessly crushing opposition and weeding out the disloyal within his own criminal empire. In mere days he lorded over thousands of pimps, gangsters, hitmen, pirates, smugglers, drug dealers, thieves, deadbeats, mercenaries, thugs, assassins and other outlaws.
Thus, Fatum was the new Kingpin of Tenfour, the most powerful criminal in the Kitsune Empire, his organization accounting for ninety percent of all organized crime and half of all crime within Xiscapia. The Syndicate has its base somewhere in the massive city of Tenfour, with several secondary bases on the moon of Kel, cells elsewhere on Xiscapia and in the Alversian Republic and Calaverian Observed Systems, as well as multiple recruiting centers, bases of operations and smuggling routes in and around the planets of Pamp and Nova Max. Most of the Syndicate's business involves drug and weapons trafficking, running illegal gambling dens, bars and strip joints from behind facade corporations, information trading, blackmail and extortion, providing security for wealthy persons and companies from behind facade companies, and prostitution in areas where it is illegal. Despite the sterling work of Xiscapian Law Enforcement the Syndicate remains in place, though rather surreptitious and low-profile in regularly patrolled and highly populated areas where crime would be immediately noticed and acted upon, such as most cities in the Kitsune Empire and almost everywhere in Alversia. However, the Syndicate is noted for it’s restraint against most regular citizens and law enforcement, harsh measures against serial killers, rapists, slavers, rival gangs and criminal elements, and occasional quiet assistance with officials on certain cases which they feel threaten them. Rumors say the Emperor and the Kingpin have some kind of secret agreement, though the Palace denies this. The exact levels of organization within the Syndicate are not known, but many sociologists, criminal investigators and police informants indicate that it would look something like this:
Oyabun (Boss, aka Fatum)
Wakagashira (Underboss, right-hand man of Fatum)
Shateigashira (Lieutenant, probably system or planet chiefs of operations)
Kyodai (Captain) (Gang headquarters chief)
Shatei (Soldier) (Standard thugs or gunmen)
Associate (Usually informants, pimps, prostitutes, merchants, business executives or others who are not directly involved with the Syndicate, but have connections with them in some way)

Xiscapians Physically
Homo Vulpes
These Xiscapians are humanoid, and, at first glance, look human. Though they resemble humans in nearly every way, they have fox tails and ears, their regular ears are pointed, they have longer and sharper canines then a human has. They also have yellow eyes, many different colors of hair, including green, purple, and blue. They are much faster and more graceful then any human could ever hope to be, and are naturally deadly in hand-to-hand combat. Xiscapians have very acute hearing superior to their human counterparts, and after being exposed to cold for an extended period of time, a kitsune will grow "winter-fire", extra fur on the tail and ears for warmth, a evolutionary throwback from the fox.
Just as a Terran would call himself or herself human, Xiscapians call themselves Kitsune. Age on a Xiscapian can be deceptive: When one may seem to be in his or hers twenties or thirties, they may actually be in their sixties or seventies. This is due to the fact that after an Xiscapian reaches adulthood, his or her body continues working without appearing to age until a few decades before the end of their life. In rare cases, kitsune have gone hundreds of years without appearing to age, reaching up the three hundred years.
Vulpes Vulpes
The other half of the population are bekko-kitsune (different), those who were changed as a result of a disease released into the Xiscapian population by unknown a person or persons. After passing out, the infected exhibit no mental activity beyond basic functions, and are effectively in a coma. The duration of the coma varies from person to person, some wake from it in as little as a day, for others it takes a full fortnight. Some, the weak, the sick, the elderly and those in hazardous or isolated conditions, died from the infection. However, fatalities were kept to a minimum by quick responses, effective work and conditioning and medical technology. During the coma, though, the infected person changes abruptly, usually beginning within the first hour and lasting until about ten minutes before the kitsune wakes.
This change continues to fascinate doctors, and is probably the most significant event occurring to the Xiscapians since the end of the Korr war. The infected lose many of their human-like qualities: The body is molded and shaped; they become more fox-like than human. The body is covered in fur, almost always an identical color and hue as the original fur, and the visage is warped, the nose completely gone and altered into a muzzle, teeth mutating accordingly. The eyes stay the same, but the 'lower' or 'bottom' 'human' ears vanish entirely, and the fox ears remain intact, more-or-less in the same area as before. The kitsune retains the humanoid, erect posture and form, without claws or nails on the hands or feet, but for some confounding reason also keep their original hair, strange when it is considered the body is one hundred percent covered in fur. The aside from the eyes, the tail is the only part that remains entirely unaffected.
Location
The Xiscapians inhabit a system on the Galactic Rim, or whatever you may call it. They live in a solar system with a single medium yellow sun, and, aside from various asteroids and comets, comprises of four planets:
Lins:
The closest planet to the star, Lins is small, rocky, hot planet. Devoid of any life, with daytime surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead and no significant deposits of valuable minerals, it has been almost entirely ignored aside from a few scientific expeditions and the occasional military weapons test. Some proposals have drawn up the construction of a colony or military base on the world, but there has been little interest from potential colonists and the Xiscapian Imperial Military has already heavily fortified the system and there would be considerable logistical problems in supplying and reinforcing such a base or instillation. For the moment Lins is unimportant and not an area of any concentration.
Korrillia:
Hundreds of times larger than Lins and having slightly more surface area than Xiscapia, Korrillia was once home to a race of brutal, warlike people known as the Korr (http://photobucket.com/mediadetail/?media=http%3A%2F%2Fi193.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fz172%2FHaloPlayer2007%2Fbrute.jpg&searchTerm=bru te&pageOffset=9), who colonized the planet several years after the Xiscapians founded Xiscapia. From the inception of civiliazation, Korrillia was heavily industrialized, thirty percent of the planet covered in factories devoted to making machines and componets for machines, while much of the usable remaining area was used for labs and cloning centers that produced food the feed the massive Korr population. Pollution was heavy, and after a millenia of abuse, combined with ferocious warfare between both the Korr Supremacy and the Xiscapian Empire, and, after that, warring Korr factions, turned the entire planet into a wasteland. Korrilia in the aftermath. (Jomstar:[/B]
The blue colored gas giant seperating Korrillia and Xiscapia, Jomstar has over seventy sattelites orbiting it, many of which hold Xiscapian scientific research stations, military bases, sensory outposts and the ruins of both Korr and kitsune fortresses and strongholds from the days of the Korr War. Almost the entire Korr War was fought on or among these moons, adding a great deal of destroyed vessels and wreckage to the classic ring of debries that orbits the planet. A great deal of defensive weaponry is said to be hidden on or around the moons or even inside the gasous world itself, and the sector is scanned and patrolled heavily by the Xiscapian Imperial Navy to deter pirates, enemy nationals or other criminals from attempting to settle or make bases on them.
Xiscapia:
The fourth and final world of the Xiscapian system, Xiscapia is home to the fox-like race of kitsune, ruled by the Kitsune Empire of Xiscapia.
Geography
Xiscapia is 68% water, and has three huge continents: Padga, to the north, is cool and wet, with warm rainy summers, lush springs, cool, brisk fall, and cold, dead winter. It is covered in thick forests and crisscrossing streams and rivers. It's mostly flat in the middle and to the east, but to the west there is hills, unbroken until they reach the sea, and to the north are the mighty Alkresh mountains. The eastern most continent, called Forworn, is sparsely populated. To the east is rolling plains and rugged platues. Jungles to the west and south are broken only by occasional rivers. The continent has only three major cities, with a handful of minor towns but countless villages and nomadic villages. To the west is Slipslah. About half, the western half, is desert. It has nice coasts and mountains to the far west. To the east and north is fertile farmland. The south holds little for anyone, just a huge amount of infertile dirt and ragged trees. Most of the cities here are along the coast, with the inner parts of the continent vastly unsettled. This houses most of Xiscapia’s factories, farms, and natural resources. To Padga's West is the Island of the Dead, where notable kitsune, including great warriors, Emperors and Empresses, and heros are laid to rest. Also to it's West is the island of Vador, which is paradise and quite a tourist attraction. To Slipslah's West there is the island of Glega, which is largely a farming area. A few miles East is the island Providence, with a city of the same name. The island is a popular haven for offworlders, second only to Tenfour. To Forworn's West there is the islands of Rune, which are covered in the ruins of an ancient civilization (see XISCAPIAN CULTURE). We have two moons, both of which rise at night, Kel and Regalis. Kel's rocky surface is inhabited by about 1 Million Xiscapians, while Regalis is a barren, lava-filled place. Kel has colonies set up on it, and is a mining center, and rich in Guilda crystals, which power most of our technology, as well as silver, gold, and gems. Regalis, is a molten lava world, dotted only by high strong rocks which were once mountains and many volcanos. It is unihabited.

Kel is a rocky planatoid with a thin atmosphere, and it mostly barren, devoid of any animals and only a few hardy plants. Most of the Xiscapians are there for the great ore that is in the moon, and around that cities have sprung up. Freighters with holds full of ore go down to Xiscapia often, bringing Guilda crystals (power crystals used to power spacecraft), silver, and cortosis, a durable metal which is resistant to plasma. Warships are made of this metal, as well as some hardened buildings. The Syndicate have a stong presence here.

Jade Rose (http://www.1999.co.jp/dbimages/user/hobby/itbig/10051368a.jpg)
Age: 38
Height: 5,7
Force Abilities: High
Jade Rose is the wife of Foxfire Rose, making her the Empress of Xiscapia. She was born into an aristocratic family, the daughter of an ambassador and a starship Captain. She was always surronded by luxery and wealth, provided for in all ways. Jade disliked the way her parents tried to pamper and shelter her from the outside world, and often rebelled against them, with mixed results. While she always achieved high grades in school, she tended to hang around with the poorer kids, abhoring the often arrogant upper class children. Finally Jade left after completing her schooling and became, against all expectations and to the abject horror of her parents, a pilot for a small transport company. Jade and Foxfire met when Foxfire saved Jade and the passenger freighter (http://www.kitsune.addr.com/Rifts/Rifts-PW-Vehicles/Cargo_Master_Freighter.jpg) she was piloting from a Korr boarding party, occurring during a dispute with the Korr near Jomstar many years ago, when Foxfire was still a soldier. They married a short time after and have stayed together ever since.

Krystal (https://www.artspots.com/account/new)
Age: 33
Height: 5,4
Force Abilities: Low
Krystal is the Grand Admiral of the Xiscapian Imperial Navy. Despite her young appearance, Krystal is a ruthless tactical mastermind. She was discovered at the Xiscapian Naval Academy, and was immediately put into service, despite the fact that she was two years too young at the time. She is responsible for nearly all of Xiscapia's space victories in the Korr war, and received the Alversian Banner of Freedom and the Xiscapian Sword of Honor, the two highest awards given in those respective nations at the time of issue, as well as numerous other awards for her actions then and in wars and conflicts over the years. The Korr war, however, left her scarred, both physically and spiritually. She ordered Code Shining Glory, which annhilated the unstoppable Korr army and halted the Korr advance into Xiscapia, but destroyed the Xiscapian and Alversian armies during the battle of Tenfour. This caused her much guilt, and over the years she has suffered from several attempted assassinations, further damaging the kitsune. Her flagship is the battleship Pride of the Empire.

Height: 5,7
Force Abilities: Low
Holly is the Commander of the Xiscapian Mechanized Division. She was born to a poor family, although she always had enough to eat due to Xiscapia's excellent wellfare program, her life simply didn't compare to most kids. She aspired to snag a exciting, high-paying job, so as never to be bored and poor again in her life. This landed her in the Xiscapian Mechanized Division. Though never tested in combat, she passed the tests at the Xiscapian Mechanized Academy with flying colors. She commands a Light Assualt Mech (LAM) named the Algernon.

Durc (http://wolfgangcake.deviantart.com/art/Kitsune-83828645)
Age: 58
Height: 6,4
Force Abilities: Medium
Durc is the Commander of Space Station Protector. An orphan after his parents were killed in a speeder crash, he survived on the streets, living by stealing and outwitting or outfighting local gangs and evading police. His life turned around when he was accepted into the Naval Academy, where he trained with a devotion rarely seen. He has taken control after the previous Commander was killed in the Korr war. He has seen some action, and is cool-headed during a fight and cold towards all Xiscapia's enemies. He is fiercely patriotic, and will do anything for his nation. His huge claim to fame is the execution of the infamous war criminal Kash Wilson aboard the Protector.

Force Abilities: Low
Vist is the governor of the Cholk system. Her story begins in the final hours of the Korr war. She was a Shadow Ops trooper at the time, sent down with her squad to assassinate key Korr leaders and generals to prevent an uprising after the Capitol was taken. Unfortunately, her shuttle was shot down by Korr AA fire while on descent. After the Korr Capitol had been captured a medical team was sent to find the lost shuttle. Guided by the beacon placed in the shuttle, the med team quickly found Vist and her comrades at the shuttle's crash site. Vist was the only one to survive the crash, the pilot and her four squad mates had been killed upon impact. She was badly injured, with burns over 70% of her body. She was taken onto the Medical Ship Crystal Star, and given treatment. She was in a coma for several days. Soon she awoke. Under the doctors treatment, she soon regained the power of speech and movement. Foxfire himself visited her on the ship. He asked her what the one thing she wanted most was. She replied that of all things, she would wish to prevent this from happening to others and protect Xiscapia. Once the colony in Cholk was established, Vist, though Emperor Foxfire, was appointed governor of it. Vist covers herself in bandages and a body suit to hid her burned body. She undergoes treatments for the burns, but they are long and painful. She is now almost as fast and graceful as she was before the crash. She defends the system from pirates and marauders fiercely. Her love for Xiscapia and fury against Xiscapia's enemies is matched only by Durc.

Ginta is the leader of the Scientific Advisory Board, and is employed by the government in both military and non-military scientific work. He oversaw the terraforming of Korrilia, the excavation of Old Xiscapia, the discovery of the Forerunner ship, and does many field projects on the ruins in Xiscapia. He is an overall good man, intelligent, enthusiastic and quick-thinking, but easily flustered and tends to run or hide if things get hot in the area he is working in.

Kartosh (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Samuel_Vimes.jpg)
Age: 34
Height: 6,1
Force Abilities: Medium
Kartosh was born in Tenfour. His parents were both soldiers who met on the battlefield, and he was raised with the expectation that he, too, would be a soldier. Indeed, his good reflexes, accuracy with a weapon, and above average proficincy with mechanics marked him for a future as either a battle engineer or perhaps even a Shadow Ops. In school, however, Kartosh was lazy, rarely turning up to class. All his teachers said he was a smart, intelligent child, but he simply wouldn't apply himself. The only subjects which ever seemed to interest him involved either combat or working in a mechanics class. He graduated, barely, because he picked up in the last couple of years and passed with extremely high marks, propelling him into graduates. He was immediatly sent to military school, and trained as a engineer and pilot. He dropped out halfway though, however, and, after buying a used ore hauler with credits he had saved up, vanished. During the Korr Wars he returned to smuggle information and people though Korr lines, changing ships almost as fast as he changed contracts. As the war began to draw to a close, Kartosh saved enough money to have a ship yard somewhere produce the Star Snake, which he used for smuggling and mercenary activities. Kartosh lives and works only for his ship, his mate Skyler, and profit. He can be cold at times, with little regard for sentiant life. However, he does warm up at times (usually though Skyler's coaxing), and is usually merel grumpy. He has been labeled as "a nusiance" by Custom Officals and, while Korr, Xiscapian, Alversian, and even Danaversian ships have attempted to catch him and his ship multiple times, he has yet to be caught.

Skyler (http://ionen.deviantart.com/art/Tanake-Trang-Jedi-52363021)
Age: 28
Height: 5,7
Force Abilities: Medium
Born of a merchant and a journalist, Skyler grew up on Kel, the rocky mining moon above Xiscapia. She always was passionate about things she believed in, but feirce in protecting them. She graduated the middle of her class, and went to trade school to become a teacher in combat, specifically unarmed, close quarters. However, she was unable to mantain the correct amount of semester points and dropped out, getting some training from a corperation which employed mercenaries. Skyler was originally a guard on a cargo ship. The ship, the Retarded Ant, named after the ship's nav computer, which was defective, was a meduim-sized ship that hauled supplies out to Xiscapian troops stationed on one of Jomstar's many moons. One transport the moon which they were delievering to was counter-attacked by Korr forces. Skyler's ship lost a wing and crash-landed on the moon's surface. The pilot was killed on impact, and the co-pilot was killed when his spacesuit ruptured and exposed him to vacuum. Skyler was captured by Korr soldiers and imprisoned on the moon. The Korr counter-attack was successful and Skyler, along with several other soldiers that had been stationed there, were POWs under the Korr. During that time all the other prisoners were tourtured and killed, or commited suicide. Finally Skyler was the only one left. She was tourtured only once, for a brief matter of minutes, but it was extremely painful. During that time Kartosh happened to be flying back from a blockade run and was intercepted and nearly destroyed by Korr fighters. He angled his ship straight into the prison complex, almost leveling it and killing all but a few inside. He managed to escape the burning wreckage of his ship, and was ambushed by Korr soldiers. Skyler had been in a underground level of the prison, but the room had collapsed and killed her captors. She made her way to the surface, where, dispite her weakness and injuries, fought off the Korr attacking Kartosh. She and he stole into the hanger, highjacking a patrol ship, and escaped in the ensuing chaos and confusion. She agreed to be his partner, and is simultaneously his partner, lover, co-pliot and gunner, and also his balancing force, offsetting his uncaring for others and look-out-for-number-one outlook with her compassion and grace.

Silvertooh and Nightshade Rose (sorry, no pciture is avaliable at this time)
Age: Nineteen, both
Height: 6,1 and 5,8 respectivelly
Force Abilities: Extremely High
Silvertooth and Nightshade are the twin son and daughter of James and Vila, nephew and neice of Emperor Foxfire Rose.
Silvertooth and Nightshade were conceived in hope for James and Vila to pass on the mantle of Chaos to heirs. However, they gave birth to twin bekko, an unheard of penemonon. Unfortunatly for Silvertooth and Nightshade, bekko are seen as being blessed by Qonn, and James and Vila wanted nothing to do with the Xiscapian god. So they looked after them minimally until they got the chance to hand them over to North Calaverans for a large sum of money and an undoubtbly gruesome fate. By this point ten years had passed, and the two were mere children. They spent four years with the Calaverans before the Observer was attacked and nearly destroyed by Danaversians. For five years they underwent Danaversian captivity before finally being transferred to Jorga the Hutt, again for a large amount of money. There they were rescued by Flag Captain Cavourna, Captain Nigripes, Kartosh and Skyler, who helped them escape on the Star Snake. After a Danaversian attack which Silvertooth and Nightshade single-handedly repelled and destroyed an entire Danaversia boarding party and destroyed the Barracuda battleship from whince they came, they jumped away. After threatening those aboard to get them away from the Xiscapian Empire, where they were sure they would be killed because they were children of the leaders of the Rebellion, they were taken into custody by Xiscapian forces. From there they met the Emperor Foxfire Rose who, to their shock, welcomed them in with open arms. From there they were cared for and took part in the Battle of Resistance by attempting to kill Vila. To this day they have an extreme hatred of North Calaverans, Danaversians and Hutts for the abuse they received at each species hands.

The Five
They are called the Những con hoang Bodominjärvi by Xiscapians, which translates loosly from Xiscapian into Galactic Commom as ’Bastards of Bodom’, or are simply referred to as ’The Five.’ While the Những con hoang Bodominjärvi is an ancient secret society which has been with the Xiscapians since the Transformation, The Five have only recently been formed within this organization by the nephew of the Emperor, Silvertooth Rose. The Five consist of the original twin bekko Silvertooth and Nightshade Rose, nephew and neice of the Emperor respectively, and three apostoles who are seen as equals. The exact identities of these apostoles is not widely known, and while the Những con hoang Bodominjärvi have roughly a thousand followers, mostly disciples who are former priests or soldiers who fight alongside them for the bloodlust they gain while in combat around any of The Five, the exact nature of group and the goals of the two true bekko and their three partners remain a mystery. It is not known percisely where the twins reside, though officially they live in the Imperial Palace, both, but Silvertooth especially, are highly reclusive and almost paranoidly secretive.
When deployed in combat, which is always according to their own discretion, the member of The Five in question always enters a state of intense bloodlust. Exactly how and why this occurs is not known, but it almost always starts near the beginning of the battle, and does not appear to recede until either all the enemy soldiers are dead or some distance away. During this time of rage the reactions of all of the members in the face of the enemy vary, ranging from ruthless efficency to bezerker-like charging. Strange mental afflictions, feats of devestating physical strength, speed, agility and endurance, psychic, magical and otherwise supernatural abilities have all been reported by observers in the field and eyewitnesses from both allied and enemy sides. As far as any outsider can tell, the disciples report only to one of The Five, and the only one who has any authority over them in the Emperor himself.

The Syndicate
The void left when Lord Morga the Muri, Kingpin of the Xiscapian city of Tenfour, had been filled by rivaling gangs and crooked businessmen all seeking a piece of the criminal empire. Fatum, a professional private assassin, had been one of the last people to ever see Morga on Xiscapia, and though he had the blessing of the former crime lord, he entered the city as an unknown. However, he had three major advantages over his competitors: He had taken control of many of the thugs, gangsters and contacts Morga had left behind, he had all the skills of an assassin, and he was very intelligent. Leading his own men, he swiftly gained possession of most of Morga's old holdings, ruthlessly crushing opposition and weeding out the disloyal within his own criminal empire. In mere days he lorded over thousands of pimps, gangsters, hitmen, pirates, smugglers, drug dealers, thieves, deadbeats, mercenaries, thugs, assassins and other outlaws.
Thus, Fatum was the new Kingpin of Tenfour, the most powerful criminal in the Kitsune Empire, his organization accounting for ninety percent of all organized crime and half of all crime within Xiscapia. The Syndicate has its base somewhere in the massive city of Tenfour, with several secondary bases on the moon of Kel, cells elsewhere on Xiscapia and in the Alversian Republic and Calaverian Observed Systems, as well as multiple recruiting centers, bases of operations and smuggling routes in and around the planets of Pamp and Nova Max. Most of the Syndicate's business involves drug and weapons trafficking, running illegal gambling dens, bars and strip joints from behind facade corporations, information trading, blackmail and extortion, providing security for wealthy persons and companies from behind facade companies, and prostitution in areas where it is illegal. Despite the sterling work of Xiscapian Law Enforcement the Syndicate remains in place, though rather surreptitious and low-profile in regularly patrolled and highly populated areas where crime would be immediately noticed and acted upon, such as most cities in the Kitsune Empire and almost everywhere in Alversia. However, the Syndicate is noted for it’s restraint against most regular citizens and law enforcement, harsh measures against serial killers, rapists, slavers, rival gangs and criminal elements, and occasional quiet assistance with officials on certain cases which they feel threaten them. Rumors say the Emperor and the Kingpin have some kind of secret agreement, though the Palace denies this. The exact levels of organization within the Syndicate are not known, but many sociologists, criminal investigators and police informants indicate that it would look something like this:
Oyabun (Boss, aka Fatum)
Wakagashira (Underboss, right-hand man of Fatum)
Shateigashira (Lieutenant, probably system or planet chiefs of operations)
Kyodai (Captain) (Gang headquarters chief)
Shatei (Soldier) (Standard thugs or gunmen)
Associate (Usually informants, pimps, prostitutes, merchants, business executives or others who are not directly involved with the Syndicate, but have connections with them in some way)
