me? reviving SPORE OCs from 2011? yea sounds like the kind of dumb shit I'd do right now.

Ki-Zu, Jax, Rekzis and Xoxo are space travelers of various races that end up running a spaceship together.

First one is Ki-Zu, from the Keezyan Empire. Keezyans are all rather small and adorable, covered in slightly iridescent feathers. They are in general a peaceful species, most of them are quite religious, believing that everything in the galaxy exists in harmony. Ki-Zu himself is kind of a controversial figure, as he is not religious and has the ability to rage out and basically go apeshit on anyone and anything that endangers him. He is somewhat socially outcast, but that makes him a perfect candidate for solo space missions. He's the only one here fully trained and qualified to be a space captain. Personally he is still quite mild-mannered by everyone else's standards outside of his home empire. Polite and soft-spoken, though he can bark orders when that kind of management is necessary. "Ki-Zu" is actually an abbreviation of his name, which he doesn't reveal to almost anyone - he's transgender and doesn't want to go through the hassle of changing his legal name since he likes it, but doesn't want to use it to avoid gender-related confusion. Though the only ones confused would be his own species.

Second one, Jax from the Snoutzer Empire. Snoutzers are a very capitalistic species, and they tend to be a bit uncomfortably overfamiliar with each other and alien races, mainly for the purpose of selling stuff. Jax is just a guy who saved up money for a personal spaceship, though he's not really a captain and he's just barely qualified to fly the ship. He also advocates for alien rights in his empire and is responsible for their first interstellar alliance, with the Keezyans. So, officially, he is a diplomat. Jax is actually quite socially awkward, especially compared to a statistical Snoutzer. He gets stressed easily, but he hardly ever fails to overcome his stress and does well in terms of public speaking.

Third one is Rekzis from the Thratsh Empire. The Thratsh are a very tall, spiky and violence-driven species, their government are edgy warlords hellbent on destroying just about everything. Rekzis is just an artist who saw through the propaganda and wants to save as many people as possible from the calamity. He can fly a spaceship and use its weapons most of the time, that is taught in Thratsh schools, but he is not officially licensed to do that. Noone really cares though, he is already an outlaw. He acts like he hates everything - but really, he doesn't. He just wants to keep up his edgy facade because he doesn't want to show any weakness. He draws and paints and is proud of his work. He also writes poetry, which he hates sharing more than anything.

The last creature is Xoxo the Snapparak. Snapparaks are not a space empire like the others, but they're getting there slowly. Xoxo is just a mechanic with a passion for exploration, who built her own spaceship, and promptly crashed it into the nearest space station. She is extra optimistic and has a tendency to address everyone per "boss", no matter their actual position. Even herself.

____________________

The story is basically, Snoutzers and Keezyans achieve interstellar flight and discover each other's existence. Snoutzers want to exploit the aliens for money, but Jax wants to make friends with them and the government is just kinda like, alright, try to do that, it would be beneficial to everyone. So they invent a spaceship connector and send the plans for it over to the Keezyans with an invitation to a one-on-one negotiation of the terms of the alliance. Keezyans send their bravest captain, Ki-Zu. Ki-Zu and Jax have a widely publicized conversation where they basically discuss that the two empires should be friends and trade and visit each other. The two also hang out a little off-camera and they become quick friends before they go back to their respective homes.

A bit later, the Thratsh empire shows up, and they attack all Keezyan colonies outside of their home planet. Keezyans hate fighting and don't want to send their bravest guy, Ki-Zu, away from their home planet, so the colonies get demolished. But meanwhile, a young Thratsh named Rekzis gets enlightened out of nowhere and decides he needs to try and stop his government from slaughtering everything they come across. He heads out to a public space station in a stolen ship, where he meets Xoxo, who, as stated previously, built a spaceship by herself and crashed it. He recruits her on the spot seeing as she is talented and not prejudiced against the Thratsh yet.

Jax gets sick of being a social outcast on his home planet and sick of being lonely on his spaceship, so he decides to visit Ki-Zu and try to recruit him for some space adventures or something, or maybe join him in whateverthefuck he happens to be up to. Ki-Zu happens to be home and invites Jax to experience the sights and culture of his home planet. Though he is under constant stress since the colonies got wiped out recently.

They coincidentally notice Rekzis and Xoxo landing on the planet. Ki-Zu, seeing a Thratsh in his town, attacks Rekzis and attempts to take an eye out with his beak. He doesn't actually do it (out of mercy), but the attempt earns him respect at least. Rekzis manages to explain that the Thratsh are planning an invasion in hopes of wiping out the Keezyan empire forever. Ki-Zu goes full captain-mode breaks the news to everyone on the planet, tells Jax to evacuate as many people as he can. He himself grabs Rekzis and Xoxo, gets on their ship and prepares to defend his home. The invasion happens and they manage to hold off the attackers long enough for Jax to evacuate most of the Keezyans, somehow. The planet is ruined, but the refugees integrate into the Snoutzer societies fast.

Ki-Zu, Xoxo and Rekzis find Jax afterwards and they form a team. They all live on Jax's spaceship and go on adventures together, trying to stop the Thratsh empire's invasions, but mostly just exploring and seeing cool stuff around the galaxy. Much to disdain of their respective governments.
