Several people have asked me for a glance at what I have been working on the past couple of years with my (what I like to call) Mythic Sci Fi. I wanted to blend fantasy and space together in a pretty intimate way, I'm aware I'm not the first to do this but nothing out there really stuck with me. I wanted to play in a universe where I could pick some of my favorite archetypes from the many shows and games I play. I am completely and fully aware that many of these things are shameless ripoffs, however I'd like to think I have given everything a nice blend to work together. Anyway, here are some of my races, I even managed to contact an artist to do some work for me but sadly I have lost contact with him. I should mention that my Lumina race and Terra race were not drawn so they do not appear here. I also have several more classes. Actually lately I have been sort of converting to 5e instead of working in the 13th age framework but I still love the system. Another thing that isn't shown here are my "Icons" which I call Avatars. They are sentient constellations that move around the galaxy (which is actually a metal galaxy after milky way and andromeda have collided, it is called the expanse.), they are essentially gods. Anyway, without further stalling here are a few things.
Here is a little cut out for my bardish class called an Acoustica. Uses a mechanic to string together different effects that result in songs. You make up your own songs with this system.
Norn
The Norn species are a species that are obsessed with temporal mechanics. There are several sects of Norn that perform various tasks. The temporal knights ensure the river of time is not tampered with. Others invoke their will and powers on others in small ways, slowing or speeding up time. Many rogue Norn known as Tempists seek discord using their powers haphazardly changing sections of space in unpredictable ways.
Metan
The Metan are a race composed mainly of metallic compounds. Their homeworld is actually are large asteroid field that surrounds the galactic core. The central command of which is called Ceres. The metan have several clans formed in the names of Elemental alloys and metals. The Metan create massive galactic and stellar structures to live on. The asteroid field that surrounds the galactic core is actually organized into a hexagonal crystaline structure that gathers energy from the active nucleus. The Metan are known for crafting superb weapons and shells. Their shells are surpassed by none other.
Mechanis
The mechanis are isons which have chosen to resurrect a race of machines that have been extinct for a millennia. These isons have chosen to sever their connection with the central pulse, and forever inhabit their mechanis bodies. The Mechanis are currently on rocky terms with the Ison having chosen to live a separate lives from the collective. The ison also find enemies in the Metan, due to the fact that the Ison are inhabiting an ancient race known as the mechanis. The original mechanis were wiped out by a virus originated by the Metan along with the Lumina and Symphon using Metallic Harmonic Resonance rendering the original mechanic minds inert.
Ison
The Ison have been said to have spontaneously been created by the weave. The ison have arisen from the weave subprograms and created their home in the streams. Isons are linked together and have one universal brain, though they still retain their individuality providing specific functions of the society. Similar to how limbs on a human have different functions yet all are serviced by a central brain known as the pulse.
The weave is a new force that has arisen from time and folding of space. As such computational arrays have been integrated into the weave essentially creating a universal web which allows any creation to use it.
The weave constantly grows and forms new connections like synapses in a brain. These ways are also how travel through the expanse is achieved like roads through the galaxy.
Gemin
The gemin are a subrace of metan composed of crystalline structures instead of metallic compounds.
Elder
The Elder claim to have been the first race to have ever existed. Some even claim to have brought life to the universe in their image. The elder have large eyes and pointed ears. Unlike most races the elder experience the full breadth of the electromagnetic spectrum, they have no sense of taste, smell, sound or even tactile functions. Instead these are sensed by electric and magnetic fluctuations.
Dark Elder
The Dark Elder are a subspecies of the elder that have been mutated by dark energy by living on the edges of the expanse. As a result this race has a remarkable control over forces exerted by dark energy and dark matter. They have formed an alliance with the ataxia a race originating from outside the expanse originating from the dark recesses of the void.
Botan
The Botan are a race of sentient plants. As such they vary wildly in appearance depending on their home world. Many Botan take the path of the Natura. Botan have no need to eat or drink as they synthesize materials of sustenance from photosynthesis. The Botan have many different forms as they venture to other planets and colonies and take on the form of the natural flora. Some Botan are not necessarily plant based but Fungal based as well.
Binary
Ataxia
The ataxia are a race that come from outside the expanse living in the eternal void. They are defined by their inky black skin. They embody the negative space and make terrifying opponents. The Ataxia were banished long ago by the Lumina and have recently found their way back into the galaxy through their newfound allies of the Dark Eldar.
Arbiter Class
Arbiters are usually charismatic and able to turn the tides of an encounter by use of their charm and strategy. Arbiters are sometimes accompanied by a Photonic Assisting Companion or PAC for short. PACs are normally used for body guarding duty to protect their masters. PACS can be formed in many different ways suited to the Arbiter’s needs.
Anima
The anima are a Hivemind of organic species. Technology is grown and cultivated rather than built. They assimilate technology and reproduce the efficiency in stem cells. The Anima do not have a homeworld, at least one that is known. Most anima have a seed they placed into planets to assimilate the life of the planets.

Symphon
The Symphon are a race of sonic based creatures. There are 7 Houses of the Symphon which live in a solar system that utilizes the notion of the music of the spheres. A belief that the universe can be known through orbits and complex rotations of planets , each producing a single note in the tapestry of the cosmos. In ancient times this notion was relegated only to the system of Tonis. Yet now in the expanse the Symphon try to understand a symphony vast and complex created by every physical phenomenon from the rotation of the galactic plane to the pulse of subatomic particles.
The Symphon have 7 major houses to which the races belong: Ionia, Doria, Phrygia, Lydia, Mixolydia, Aeolia, Locria.
