After three years of writing mostly Doctor Who fanfiction, I started writing a futuristic police procedural back in February. My main character is Maru, a female no-nonsense police officer who believes passionately in law and order and Justice (with the capital J!). She's strong, determined, fiesty and smart, but occasionally prone to impatience when others don't keep up with her.

My 'verse is a collection of 11 planets, 8 of which are inhabited by descendants of Earth's evacuees (Earth became increasingly uninhabitable over the space of a couple of centuries, so humanity headed out into space). I've got regular humans, four armed humanoids, shape-shifters, sentient dragon-like beings, sentient tree humanoids, sentient bird humanoids, and centaur-like beings. There's also a race of omnipotent non-corporeal aliens who will eventually be revealed to be the big bads.

The society on which most of the stories are focused is made up of mostly polyamorous bisexual humans.
