General Summary:
It's been a few decades since the end of a galactic civil war, but the galaxy remains in a cold war between empires, federations, and syndicates. One day, several soldiers, bounty hunters, and pirates zero in on a symbiotic super-bioweapon called the "Black Bunny", and the collision ends with it finding its way into one space marine that becomes its new host, granting her immense power and adaptability.
It also turns him into this alien not-quite!playboy bunny girl. Because!
With the Atlax Empire, bounty hunters, and crime syndicates on her tail, she's now booking it across the galaxy, bouncing between planet and planet, amassing the help of an ever-increasing crew of idiots to figure out what she's become, as well as learn as why they'll need her to help save the galaxy. Adventure awaits!
Main Cast:
Runa Solitaire: A human-esque alien who joined the Atlax Empire's military to pay for her xenobiology degree before being unexpectedly dispatched as part of the operation to secure the "Black Bunny" from pirates. After accidentally becoming its host, she has incredible physical prowess (super strength and jumping large heights), automatically adapts to new surroundings (symbiote protects her from heat and lets her survive the vacuum of space), and a "danger sense" that warns her of threats. Wanted for making off with unsanctioned alien weaponry and excessive adorability.
Traa'Vist: A mantis-like alien descending from a culture of galactic hunters, working as a freelance mercenary. Was one of the parties sent to obtain the "Black Bunny" but after a mix-up with Runa, the two are now stuck as partners, trying to keep her in one piece before they can find out how to separate the symbiote and he can collect his bounty. Has a bit of a drinking problem and secretly reads trashy romance novels. Wanted for making off with unsanctioned alien weaponry and operating with an out-of-date bounty hunting license.
The Gentleman Vanish: A bat-like alien with teleportation powers, acting as a "high-security galactic transport" (contraband smuggler), piloting the sub-space traveling Dollar Days vessel. Likes to pretend that they're a classy gentleman and dresses the part (mask, hat, scarf, nice suit) but constantly uses their teleportation to "secretly" steal stuff from clients, and keeps making enemies. Wanted for smuggling and owing a looooot of people their money and shiny possessions.
Lumi-Ness Therim-Akkur: A moth-like alien esteemed as "The Remaker", an artist whose medium happens to be creating weapons. Having been augmented with the mysterious alien energy, exo, Lumi-Ness has an ability to psychically deconstruct and reconstruct exo-powered technology to her whim, creating devices that are only limited by her creativity (and engineering skills). Wanted for desertion and breaching her employment contract with the Moonlock Federation.
Onni: An alien ghost (indeterminate species) who was used for exo-augmentation experiments, with their body destroyed but consciousness preserved in a large, monolith-shaped exo container robot. Despite their physical limitations, Onni can project themselves and possess other exo-augmented beings, and adores the experience of connecting with people through shared sensations (much to the discomfort of their hosts). Wanted for being the illicit property of potential criminal element.
BADWOLF: A direwolf-like alien, formerly a high-ranking admiral of the Moonlock Federation who brought a decisive end to the galactic civil war by proliferating experimental planet-destroying superweapons, before deserting, taking her weapons with her, and forming the criminal Wolfgang Syndicate. Continuously hungry for power, she oversees the exchange and development of further weaponry and experimental technology across the galaxy, and has her sights on obtaining the "Black Bunny" at once. Wanted for... a LOT of stuff tbh
