Foreword
The Beyond Heroes Role Playing Game is based on a heavily revised derivative version
of the rules system from Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 2nd edition. It also makes
extensive use of the optional point buying system as presented in the AD&D Player’s
Option Skills and Powers book. My primary goal was to make this system usable in any
setting, from fantasy to pulp to superhero to science fiction.

The Earth is not the only planet in the universe populated by sentient life. The universe is
teeming with other life forms the number of which is incalculable. Because the denizens
of Earth have not yet perfected a practical faster-than-light stardrive enabling interstellar
travel, the majority of the alien races encountered by Earth people are those races who
have mastered interstellar travel themselves and have visited Earth. Due to the fact that
the Earth's solar system is near a natural warp-space access point there has been a high
incidence of alien visitation since before human life first appeared. Indeed, numerous
advanced civilizations left outposts on Earth during prehistory.

The majority of the alien races documented here have humanoid configurations;
bilaterally symmetrical, upright posture, two arms, two legs, brain located in head. Some
are astonishingly similar to the human race being virtually indistinguishable until the
cellular level. Other races resemble humanoid versions of other Earthly animals such as
lizards, skunks, insects, fish and so on. The reason for this staggering similarity in
phenotypes among races evolving on countless worlds separated by millions of light
years is not known. The most common theory is that of a first race which travelled to
millions of worlds seeding their own gene.

The races presented in the Beyond Heroes section are my own homebrew ones.

sits directly atop the base layer, is made
up of solid blue and green components.
This layer is made up of a chest and
crotch piece, a solid helmet, and pairs of
gloved gauntlets and booted leg guards.

The A’rmar is capable of withstanding

extreme temperatures and intense
impacts. This is allowed both by the
unusual durability of its construction,
and by its unique properties which allow
it to absorb seemingly all forms of
energy (from kinetic to electromagnetic)
that are directed against it. In addition,
the metallic alloy of the armor flexes and
contracts in a similar way that human
muscle does, albeit with much greater
force. This property allows the armor to
magnify its user’s strength by factor of

Rarely do they interact with each other,
only in times of which the species are
threatened, do they unite in racial unity.

The origins of the A’rmars began

thousands of years ago, created by a
humanoid race from the planet Antar I.
The entire race had become afflicted
with a disease which made their bones
brittle and left them weakened. A group
of scientists developed what was
suppose to be a solution to the disease,
the A’rmars. The A’rmars granted those
afflicted with the plague full lives
assisting their weakened bodies.
After the conception the A’rmars lacked
thought and had no will of their own
relying on the wills of their bondmates.
However the A’rmars evolved to
assimilate the the host, and gained
consciousness. The result of this caused
confusion and anarchy on Antar leading Type: Spherical Actinoid, radioactive

First Ones Physical Traits: The First Ones are made

up out of almost pure energy, with a
semisolid crystalline matrix. This makes
them nearly invulnerable to physical
attacks, and even attacks with most
energy weapons will do little damage.

Their appearance is that of a brightly

luminous ovoid cloud of energy, floating
upright a few feet of the ground, with
almost solid seeming strands of energy
woven through. Normally four to six of
these strands extend almost tentacle-like
out of the cloud, and these are used for
physical manipulation, or fighting. In
such cases it has been shown that despite
their lighter than air appearance, First
Ones are actually quite strong.

When the First One moves quickly, it is

slightly stretched out, with the
"tentacles" streaming behind it like long
pieces of string. There is a hint of wings
when it moves like this, but this may
very well be a illusion, because they
move by levitation. It has no real length
or size, because of its almost cloudlike
nature. There are no discernable sensory
organs, and to a non-First One, all First
Ones look alike, with no difference in
appearance, or colour.

The First Ones have very strong psionic

and energy manipulation abilities.
Distance and dimensional location (in
real space or hyper space) are not a
hindrance to them. At its most basic
level, a First One can communicate by
sending images directly to a recipient's
brain in a form of pictorial
communication utilizing forms and
experiences from the subject's mind.

A more advanced form of direct

Type: Resonate, Primo Sapiens communication usually occurs when the

However, this experiment, and later
attempts to stop it, unleashed disaster

splintered the Universe into the
Multiverse which included the

this, the evolved First Ones created the

simple: combat evil and create an
orderly universe. They acted quickly on
that goal. During this period they slowly

became dedicated to creating conflict
and chaos in order to force evolution.

emotions, while the Starmazons decided
to embrace them. Over the years, both
groups evolved to look dissimilar to the

Early on as the Osirians began
developing spaceships and exploring the
galaxy, they began conquering other
planets. They made them protectorates
of the Osirian Empire and stripped the
planets of their natural resources and
treasures. They brought back a number
of inhabitants as slaves. Osiria evolved
into a greatly divided society.

The slave class (most aliens, some

Osirians) were cast down to the lower
ghettos, while the Osirians lived in high
towers above where poverty, crime, and
suffering were virtually unheard of.
Several million died of starvation or the
diseases that plagued the lower levels.
Before conquering new planets, it
became customary to send scouts to

A Mother Ship (Jag'd'dja atoll in the

Yautja language) is a massive, mobile
base for Yautja hunters. Mother Ships
are totally independent craft where a
number of Scout Ships can dock. These
ships rarely enter conflict with another
force, and are usually inhabited by a
single Clan, led by the Clan Elder.
Like other Yautja craft, they utilize
cloaking technology that renders them
sensor-invisible, making them virtually
impossible to find. Pilots of other Yautja
vessels, however, can use their vessel's
standard beacons to locate a nearby
Mother Ship. Here, warriors can battle
for respect and acquire new weapons and
devices. Most Mother Ships also have a
trophy case in which its clan's trophies
are put on display.

Almost every Mother Ship holds a

captive Xenomorph Queen, which the
Yautja warriors most likely release in an
area for a Hunt. They are fully equipped
with scout ships and insertion pods,
capable of launching a hunter onto a
planet's surface and sending smaller
Scout Ships onto Hunts. They also come
with powerful beam weapons, powerful

a planet down to the deep crust. They

Physical Traits: The Yazirian race are

anthropoids similar to various terrestrial
apes. They are muzzled, lightly furred,
and have patagia stretching between
their arms and legs which they can use to
glide over short distances in low gravity
(their home worlds are all low-gravity).

They are descended from a nocturnal

species, and prefer to wear tinted
goggles to protect their eyesight during
the day. They are said to be rather
violent and pushy, and have a custom to
choose a "life-enemy", which could be
anything; a company, person, or a
concept. Yazirians are tall, thin
humanoids.

They have long arms and legs and

slender torsos. Two large flaps of skin
grow on either side of their bodies,

attached along their arms, torso and legs. Communication: Vocal

Jump Drive
Jump Drives work by drawing a vast
amount of energy and using it to literally
pull a hole in space known as a "jump
conduit" to a transitive plane called
"jump space". In Jump space distance
and time does not work the same way in
as it does in real space. Thus by
travelling through Jump space vast
amounts of distance can be traversed in a
far shorter time. Tech level 10 only.
