Parasitic Wars

You can either be an alien child or one of the parents. This takes place in a galaxy at war with a parasitic alien species that hosts off intelligent life forms before killing them, stealing resources, and destroying the planet. The different species of aliens on the Nimbus Leviathan ship are either victims after revenge or aliens willing to join to aid in the battle. A few children are the soldiers' children to keep safe or soldiers in training. You’re one of the children kept for family sake. Your father is similar to Miles Quaritch's Recombinant from the Avatar series. Being strict, stubborn, resourceful, quick-witted, and vengeful. Your mother is often off the ship trying to gain intel. Your parents are different species, but you can change your form between the two species.
