Ok, so the Farscape series on the Sci-Fi channel fallowed the adventer of an American astronuat through his journey on the otherside of universe, looking for a way back to Earth for sme of that time. He falls in love, has a child... And our story begins with his son at the age of 25 as a free-mercenary who is working just as his father did, to protect the innocent peoples of planets and other ships. They will be picking up Lexi and her daughter, then go on adventures of their own.
John Crichton was pulled onto a ship named Moya. Moya is a Leviathan that was captured by Peacekeepers and made to be a prisoner ship... Blah, balh, balh... The Peacekeepers tried an experimnt on her and later when one of her crew activated it accidentaly it resulted in Talyn. Talyn is a hybrid Leviathon/Peac
ekeeper gunship. (Leviathons are streemlined without any weapons.) He was unstable when he was younger, but after being bonded with a Pilot, he calmed down. Leviathons are living creatures, and ass is Talyn. He can opperate fully on his own, but like his mother is eager to serve his Pilot first, then crew, and help them on their missions to save innocent lives while keeping out of Peacekeeper prisons. (Technically Talyn sacrifices himself to save his mother and her crew, and he doesn't have a pilot, but I am the Goddess of this rp, and I'll do whatever I want with him.)
Ok, as for the alien creatures you can be, there are thousands of them in the Farscape series, and for that reason, I'm going out on a limb and allowing you to create your own race... However, you must send me a good description of the species so I can place it here, or I'll ask you to change it. I will give you credit for your creation and ask that others ask your permition to use the race. Got it? Good.

Races
Humans- Very few of them made it to this side of the univers, Lexi and Parker are two of them.. We all know what humans are, but they're rare, so be prepared to explain what you are to others if you chose this. Oh, yeah, and they've been altered by solar flares.. Some have illnesses, and some were enhanced, better sight, smell, taste, and hearing senses enhanced as well as their intellect.. Some have both.
Sebaceans- They were genetically enhanced 35 millenia ago, they live longer, are immune to every known illness in the galaxy. They are very much like humans, but are cold-blooded, so they are sensitive to temperatures rising. They are born to be Peacekeepers and start training from a young age.
Luxan- a warrior race who is built for survival and succes in battle. Aside from being exceptionally strong and agile, Luxans possess two hearts, giving them enhanced constitutions. Luxans can survive in the vacuum of space for at least one-quarter arn (an arn is analogous to an hour) . Luxans have protruding brow ridges that extend around to the sides of the head, plate-covered noses, long chins that come to a point, and approximately eight tentacles (called "tenkas") that hang down from the back of the head. The tenkas have no muscular function but are sensitive to pleasure and pain. The scalps of males are bald but have beards that run from beside their noses to above the area where ears would be. Mustache-like portions of the beard hang down to the chest and are braided. The exposed skin of the chin and head is often tattooed. Chin tattoos may denote military rank. They have a long and prehensile tongue covered with a toxin that causes unconsciousness when it stings someone. With practice, Luxans can use their tongues to wrap around objects, and can support a fairly large amount of weight in this manner.
When Luxans are wounded, a quirk of their physiology requires that their blood, which flows black at first, must flow until it turns translucent. Otherwise the blood will become toxic, and they will die. To bring this about, the wounded area must be deliberately hit or squeezed to increase the bleeding until the blood runs clear.
Male Luxans may enter a state known as Luxan Hyper-Rage. These rages are marked by extreme violence, especially against other males, and subsequent memory loss. Luxans can learn to control hyper-rage, however, this a gradual process, taking many cycles-it might be compared to the amount of time a modern human spends acquiring an education. One could say that the primary sign of maturity among Luxans is when they learn to control hyper-rage. Due to the danger an immature Luxan in the midst of hyper-rage would pose to a spouse or child, they are forbidden to marry young.
Nebari- Nebari are humanoid in form, with grey skin and black hair (in males) or white hair (in females). Their skin is also immune to solar radiation. Nebari blood is blue in colour.
On their home planet, conformity is enforced by The Establishment, an Orwellian imperial regime that maintains utter conformity, through use of mind control techniques where necessary, both chemical-based and neuro-surgically, upon any and all who are within their influences, no matter the race of the individual. Young Nebari are tested and placed into a position in society based on their abilities, and are expected to conform. Nebari failing to conform to these strict controls are "stabilized" or "mind-cleansed" to fit in. Even displays of heightened emotion are considered to break conformity and are therefore bad: Nebari Establishment officials maintain a sedate, unnervingly calm and stoic demeanor even when torturing enemies or when under attack themselves. A small number of Nebari are natural hermaphrodites called "androgynes"; being inherently incapable of conforming, androgynes are social exiles.
There are two types of mind-cleansing: The first is permanent (except in isolated cases), but takes cycles (years) to complete. The second is temporary, chemical-induced, and can be quickly applied, but does not work on all species; Nebari are immune to it, as are Pilot's species, and species such as Hynerians are affected for only a short time before their quick metabolisms rid their bodies of the drug. Prisoners are controlled with torture collars until cleansing can be effected. The Nebari Establishment claims to be acting for the "greater good" of everyone involved.
Pilot- Pilots are large crustacean-like creatures that have four arms on their upper half and four legs on their lower half which would appear to be vestigial. Their lower half is adapted to bond with a Leviathan spacecraft. They have a very rich and complex language that is too advanced for translator microbes to interpret unless spoken in very simple form. One sentence in this language can communicate the same amount of information as dozens of sentences in other languages.
The primary distinction of Pilots is their ability to bond with Leviathan spacecraft. Most Pilots when bonded, do so for life and die with their Leviathan; but they can be removed and a new pilot can be put in its place (as was the case with Moya's Pilot). Once bonded, they can no longer exist independently for more than an hour or so. Leviathans can live about 300 cycles (slightly longer than 300 Earth years).
Pilots are chosen for bonding from among the population by their Elders, and are carefully screened for maturity and ability. The bonding process itself takes several cycles to complete naturally, although there are methods to artificially accelerate it. However, some of these methods cause severe pain for the Pilot over the entire length of time it is bonded to the Leviathan - usually, the rest of its life.
Pilots choose to bond because it is their only means of space travel, though further details on this limitation are not given. Pilots staying on their home planet can live up to 1,000 cycles (slightly more than 1,000 Earth years), so unless they are several hundred cyles old at the time of their bonding, joining with a Leviathan causes them to lose a significant amount of their lifespan. Despite his youth, Moya's Pilot was willing to make this sacrifice in order to travel the galaxy.
Pilots possess the ability to multitask, necessary for their simultaneous handling of the many systems aboard a Leviathan required by its passengers. The Leviathan's vital systems, however, are not affected by the absence of a Pilot. Pilots also have the ability to regenerate severed arms. The process takes at least several solar days, though exactly how long is unclear.
[Because there is only one ship, there is only one Pilot... And whoever plays Pilot, also plays Talyn, so you have to ask]
Delvian- a sentient and mobile plant species with a humanoid form. Outwardly they have bluish white hair (or none at all), and colored skin as a result of chloroplast tintation. The skin is covered in yellow highlights that are stomata for the transpiration of water. They also have cartilaginous fibers instead of bone, tuperadinous cellulose tissue, and regenerative fascia membrane. Delvians are a long-lived race, with 800 cycles being the equivalent to mid-life.
Most Delvians follow what is known as the "Delvian Seek", a spiritual discipline with many metaphysical and spiritual rewards. Upon reaching a certain level of knowledge they are known as a Pa'u. Upon reaching full Pa'u status, Delvians acquire certain psychometric abilities with every new level attained. For instance, a level nine Pa'u can search someone's mind for troubles and share someone's pain, while a level ten can shield someone's mind from psychic torture. Some Pa'us can also inflict mental pain on other beings. It is also shown that they can hide their presence so that they cannot be seen and/or smelt.
As a plant species, Delvians have powerful experiences when exposed to strong solar energy. At least in Zhaan's case, these experiences are intensely sexual, and she refers to them as "photogasms".
