Canageek (Roleplaying account)One of my players wants to a play a dog person in my Alternity/Stardrive game. Fits in well enough with the setting, but I would like some lore to go with it: can anyone point me towards any dog like aliens from other science fiction settings that I could borrow ideas from? Don't care what medium it is, though, obviously ttrpgs would be the easiest to steal from
Motherfuck, one of my players just made an ethical slut reference
Floaty BirbIn the #AlternityRPG #StarDrive setting a galactic circumnavigation gets easier the bigger your ship is (because bigger ships can teleport further), but at the typical technology level it would still take years or decades, and might also need refueling stations.
In #Warhammer40K, you can circumnavigate the galaxy through various means, all of them dangerous and most of them immoral. Just don't visit the Warhammer 40K universe if you can avoid it. It is a grim and dark place.
Anyway, my imaginary spaceship is a small interstellar scout, built by a human colony world that was abandoned due to its former overlords being distracted by the Second Galactic War (which, in the #Alternity #StarDrive universe, lasted over a century and blew a lot of things up).
I will call the homeworld "Novayashin", which is short for "Novaya Shin New Fiji Nueva". For unclear reasons, citizens of this planet are called "Space Possums"; most are human but with a few added alien refugees.

Elysia Macht@tangledwing That's clearly a Space Rat from Blake's 7.

Space Rats
The Space Rats were an outlaw gang opposed to the Terran Federation's ban of all leisure transport. Motivated by the thrill of speed they drove, flew and otherwise piloted all manner of vehicles, particularly single-pilot space choppers. The Space Rats stole and murdered for their needs and rarely bathed. bend: beat up or torture to change behaviour. flagging: slow, boring, unpleasant. gook: (epithet) Terran Federation citizen. "They're maniacs, psychopaths! All they live for is sex and violence

I've got a habit of loving the IDEAs of RPG settings but hating all the details: Example: I love a lot of the trappings of #Spelljammer, but can't stand what they did with it, so I idly write my own ships-in-space setting in my head. I've only tried to run it once, and it failed due to grad school burnout.
I also like #StarDrive for the #Alternity system, but again, want to tweak and rewrite SO MANY things.
