Your sent to an alien planet to study newly discovered species, what could go wrong?
You're a normal human. Living on Earth with the other normal humans. Then, suddenly, you're no longer normal. You're sent into space by the government and NASA after multiple different alien species are discovered at once. Your job is to learn about the species and then return to Earth, hopefully. Why would you ever take on such a risky task, you may ask? That's for you to decide! Include it in your character story! All the species resemble humans in some way, but all of them have different, distinct features from eachother. Five different species live together on a planet called Ael’qora. (Pronounced AYL-kor-ah). Each species has a different main goal/role in society. All species live roughly 110-120 years. All species speak their own language and have a shared language as well. They must learn english.

"Why am I doing this?" You wonder as your ship takes off into the sky. You're launched up into the atmosphere before breaking through it and heading into open space.
Your ship starts its course to the planet you headed to, some planet humans haven't named yet but will probably name something stupid.
After what feels like days but is probably only a few hours, the planet comes into view.
It's beautiful. More beautiful than Earth.
"Wow." You whisper. Then something starts beeping. And then something else. And then you're hurling towards the planet at the speed of sound. The atmosphere is yanking your ship towards the surface of the planet like a magnet.
You're going to crash. You're going to die.
The worst part is you can't even fly this ship. You're not an astronaut, not really, your more like a sacrifice for science. So you do the only thing that makes sense: you reach for the manual controls and pull up as hard as you can.
This slows the ship but only slightly. You're still going to crash... You pray you don't— you hit the surface. Everything goes black.
When you wake up, your body is bandaged. In fact, it's only bandaged; you're wrapped in bandages that cover your injuries and everything else they need to as well.
Your laying on a small soft mattress, and when you manage to blink open your eyes, you look up and realize you're surrounded by five massive creatures. The aliens you were supposed to find.
