I wondered what if the gang played some table top roleplaying and the classes they might play with and did a new sketch dump.

Outpost 66

A refueling station and border crossing at the edge of the galaxy. The nearest hyperjump station (stations that allow people to travel almost instantly from one part of the galaxy to another. is just as far as the nearest planet. Faster than Light travel exists but is still very slow at an interstellar level, and galactic travel is still in its fledgling stages.

Outpost 66 barely gets any visitors and is often behind the news of the day. Visited only occasionally by soldiers, smugglers, student backpackers and space campers on their way out to the frontier. The diner is outfitted with the latest food printer (approx. 20 cycles old), entertainment station (a makeshift karaoke machine and turntable) and plush seating arrangements [sic] for all lifeforms.

The rooms of the motel are built into the asteroid itself and outfitted with top quality safety features like [redacted[. Visit the many facilities built into the station and enjoy your gateway stay to our Galaxy.

DJ Em'Zee Alien/NonBinary

A sleepy little coffee gremlin during the day, overactive nightowl. Always sketching, writing stories or making music. At night, a DJ for the "local club" - actually just the Diner and a turntable. Doesn't talk but communicates with soundboard that they carry around. Comes from a race of creatures that are obsessed with music.

Asocial introvert, doesn’t like to share, loves sweets (the more colourful the better - doesnt eat them just holds them)

Erabong Zomjo

Cyborg/Alien/Male

Comes from xenophobic world, an escaped fugitive.

Keeps to himself mostly, but is a genius tech guy. Is actually a hacker on the run from some underground cartel, using the station to hide since no one comes out this far. 

Stoic until drunk, then is very excitable and overshares. Is not shy about correcting people. Very progressive, both socially and technologically, which is surprising considering his homeworld.

Doesnt trust easily, works quick and clean

Thalia Wyke

Hydroid Alien/Female

Fringe planet homeworld, first one to leave.  A very capable individual who can do anything and everything they set their minds to. Often uncertain and changes their minds at the last minute. Quick to help others with mostly positive results. Each head is a different personality, and act like sisters rather than one person. Left Head (Thalibee) A sleepy, lazy head who tries to get out of work as often as they can. Reluctantly helps when pestered. Middle Head (Thalia) Mostly does all the chores, quick witted, works with customers Right Head (Thalisee) Very angry, doesn't take any shit. Will reprimand customers and her sisters. Short temper and impatient. Just as capable as Thalia.

Uncertain, worried, often depressed. No self confidence. Talented at almost anything. Hard working and willing to go the extra step.

Zentra V’Urish - Borderguard Humanoid Alien/Female

Warrior race. Was too good at watching borders, stopping plenty of contraband and wrongful entries. Sent to Outpost 66 so she is no longer in the way of higher ups. The head guard of the Outpost.  Works hard, plays hard. Goes above and beyond, and is only rewarded with more work. Takes breaks by playing a ‘portable game device’ but gets very competitive and angry about it. Loves to party, drink and be rowdy.

Reliable, quick to help, overzealous workaholic, hates being bored

Add'mrathal "The Admiral" Yocxuct'kra Genetic Experiment/Male

Lab gene experiment that gained sentience. Escaped and ended up on outpost 66 as a janitor. A hive mind.

Genetic experiment: has plenty of different dna inside them. Always has a relatable story to any situation. Always ready to help. Listens to conspiracy radio. Does not like doing things that aren't his idea. Doesn't understand how he got the nickname "The Admiral"

Helpful. Very friendly. Can be self deprecating. Doesn’t change his mind easily

[outpost66]

Lars Warwick 

Humanoid Alien/Male

Highly talented engineer. Groomed to be a lead engineer but was sent to Outpost 66 because he was too fastidious

He is now Pascal's new intern. Officially trained but has no idea how the station is run. A bit of a brown-noser who gets annoyed from the corporate head office

Know-it-all, contrarian, quick to frustration, highly gifted mechanic, talented manager

[outpost66]

Mechanic: Pascal Byrn

Humanoid/Male He/Him

Moved to the station as a young adult, lived here ever since.

General repairs guy and station mechanic. No official training. Learned everything on the job. Keeps the entire station running on spit and tape but tends to fix things last minute. Mind often wanders. Capable but lazy. Likes the slow life the outpost offers him.

Calm demeanor, slow to anger, often speaks with platitudes

Outpost 66

This blog will be the dumping ground for art and animation tests and act as a sort of pitch bible.

Outpost 66 is a small outpost on an asteroid on the far edge of the galaxy. A refueling station and border crossing out in the middle of nowhere space where where the closest Hyperjump station is just as far as the nearest planet, FTL travel is not fast enough for casual visits and intergalactic travel is as its infant stages.

Characters include a couple of mechanics, a goopy janitor, an overzealous border guard, a diner waitress (with three heads), a runway tech specialist, and an aspiring DJ.
