PostPosted: Thu Oct 01, 2009 8:42 pm


I know I'm a bit desperate for players but PLEASE READ THE RULES!!!! gonk

"After the Earth was used up, we found a new solar system and hundreds of new Earths were terraformed and colonized. The central planets formed the Alliance and decided all the planets had to join under their rule. There was some disagreement on that point. After the War, many of the Independents who had fought and lost drifted to the edges of the system, far from Alliance control. Out here, people struggle to get by with the most basic technologies. A ship would bring you work, a gun would help you keep it. A captain's goal was simple: find a crew, find a job, keep flying."

This is an RP about a captain and her crew, trying to make it in the Galaxy about 12 years after the war, just as those aboard the good ship serenity.
Our own little vessel is a Solaria class transport and information vessel. Smaller than a firefly but faster and it has a gun. It was also designed to fly a lot closer to suns than most ships, originally to help further sience but we find it handy that we can fly at least a thousand miles closer to a star when being chased for our not so legal cargo. We like to call him Icarus.
My names Pumpkin Greyer.. I'll be your Captain. I've got a ship and am looking for a crew and some passengers to help round off the bills.

Apearance: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Z9noN9a-Bdo/SiU7G238hTI/AAAAAAAAES4/vEWwDzsSw7o/s400/GunWoman450pxlorez.jpg

Personality: Mostly happy, she has a short temper for when it comes to her friends safety. Most of the time she's a bit unpredictable which can hinder or help in battle.

History: Both of her parents were fighting on the Browncoats side against the alliance and both were killed. So she at the age of nine went to live with her aunt in a Asteroid colony where she didn't set foot on ground of a planet again until she was 16 when she could claim the small sum of money her parents left behind for her when they died. Saving most of it she bought a small ship that could hop from the planet to the moon colony nearby but not much farther and worked as a courier.

Personality: A thinking type, he finds himself at home in the cockpit of a ship more than a bed (except when a pretty woman is in said bed of course). A sociable person he often jokes with people, trying to lighten the mood when things become gloomy. He loves the occasional drink too.

History: Born "on the ground, not the air" as he likes to say, he was a former alliance pilot before he began hearing rumors of strange things in the higher ranks, his inquisitive nature led to his discharge and so he began hiring himself out as a pilot.

History: He lived on the streets for 6 months picking pockets of wealthy people on miranda before stowing away on The Icarus.

Username: Fredwise

Character Name: Fred McDonald

Age: 31

Trade: Weapons specialist, and fully qualified pilot.

Apearance: If there was one word to describe Fred, it was average. Average height, average build, and she considered this to be great. Not needing to duck when walking down the ship's corridors was always good.
Her short red hair tended to stick out at many different angles, since she considered the day too short to waste on sorting out appearances. Occasionally it obscured her blue eyes, and that was the only time that she'd make an effort to fix her hair.
Fred could normally be found wearing an oversized t-shirt, with combat trousers and boots. Colour co-ordination was something she didn't care too much about, apart from when camoflage was necessary.

Personality: Confident, reliable, optimistic, and decidedly geeky nicely sums up Fred. Naturally distrusting of strangers, she'll warm up to people within a few weeks of meeting them. If something needed to be done, Fred would be able to do it, and finish it well and quickly. Armed with a dry wit, and the occasional sarcastic mood, her sense of humour got her through her military days.

History: Born on Aberdeen, Fred grew up in a normal environment, with normal friends, doing normal things. She started an Astrophysics degree, but by that point the Unification War had started. The Alliance picked the more promising students from the universities to train as specialist troopers, capable of dealing with many situations. It was at this point that Fred learnt how to fly, fire weapons, and create explosive devices.
However, by the time that she was deemed ready to head to the front lines, Serenity Valley had occurred, and she was informed that she was no longer needed. Instead of returning to her studies, she decided to head off into the Black to find a job that required her skills.

Likes: Explosions, tanks, flying, darkness, astrophysics and a full roast dinner.

Dislikes: Broccoli, being stealthy, being electrocuted, and people who don't respect personal space.

Weapons: Fred was very fond of her M41 SSR rocket launcher, however due to ammunition being very difficult to find, she tends to use her standard sub-machine rifle.

Username: Satans Kat

Character Name: Celeste O'Rinn

Age: 24

Trade: Doctor

Apearance: http://media.photobucket.com/image/jessica lucas covenant/MagykGurl/Collision of the Covenants/jessicalucas-katetunney.jpg She normally wears her hair up though.

Personality: Takes her work very seriously, loyal, she is often blunt to the point of being rude, likes to know people's stories but doesn't normally pry, happy but not hyper, laid-back.

History: She grew up in a pro Alliance family on a core planet (Osiris). Her older sister (Lesha) was anti Alliance and made sure everyone knew. Celeste idolized her sister, especially since Lesha was so popular and always dating. One day, after going out to protest the Alliance Lesha didn't come home. Her body was found two weeks later, the day after Celeste's eleventh birthday. If possible, Celeste became less social and focused more on school. She decided she wanted to help people, and started early studies to become a doctor. Top of her class, she graduated at 17, and started traveling the 'verse at 20. She never stays on a planet for more than a year. Celeste always knew that the Alliance was to blame for her sister's death, and hated that her parents couldn't see that. She hasn't talked to them since she left Osiris.

Likes: Doctoring, helping people, singing (she has a really good voice), dancing, her crew because they're her new family.

Dislikes: Alliance, her parents, people who mess up her things, people who pry into her personal life when she doesn't know them.

Weapons: Knows how to use a gun, but she is not a fighter by any means.

Username: TaijimaNarumi

Character Name: Isaac Benz

Age: Somewhere around is late thirties or early forties

Trade: Poses as a trader but is actually an Alliance spy

Apearance: Short with wispy brown greying hair. His eyes are a bright blue with a twinkle in them, and his always smiling around those he trades with. He wears a faded old blue three piece suit, red tie, and grey/black porkpie hat with feather in it. His black dress shoes are always shined.

Personality: Easy to trust, silvered tongue, cowardly, not afraid to sell out his fellow man

History: Not much is known about Isaac's past, he's been working for The Alliance since the wars. In secret of course. He does not value either sides ideals, but only cares of money. The Alliance pays better then the Browncoats.

Likes: Cold hard cash and that's really it

Dislikes: Not being paid, helping others

Weapons: His charm, small pistol he keeps hidden on his person

Username: Timberwolf919

Character Name: Darius Grey (just goes by Grey)

Age: 26

Trade: Fugitive from the Alliance; part of a 'psychosis/psychic' project. He acts as a businessman with the skills to raise and maintain foodplants

Apearance: Darius Grey

Personality: Mysterious, and doesnt talk much about himself...or much at all, for that matter. Obviously hiding something from the crew, but has a way of avoiding talk about it. When concious, he seems normal; however, when asleep, he will often have random nightmares, usually reguarding the future of people he doesnt know. He maintains the secrecy

History: Darius was just a normal kid, living his life on Ariel much as most would and was doing fairly well for himself until his parents suddenly disappeared when he was 19. He spent over a year looking for them until he was himself kidnapped as well. Alliance operatives in blue gloves and dark suits took him to a secret lab where he underwent many mental and physiological experiments, including survival of a reaver attack that the alliance operatives had captured and let loose on his parents, which were in the laboratory as well. Due to his treatments, he was able to maintain sanity, although the trauma broke him deeply. At the age of 24, he was deemed as a perfect psychic, and they began to train him in military tradition and routine, becoming a formidible 'special forces' agent. During the process, his hair turned white, and has been that way ever since. After he turned 25, he began a plan to escape the tortures of the alliance, as he did not agree with anything they were doing, and even found out about the 'River Tam' experiments. Deciding that they would pay eventually, Darius escaped, stowing away unnoticed on a vessel to Isis. He has been hiding there since, looking for a way to travel and secretly take down the alliance from underneath, utilizing less-than-legal freelancers to do so.

STANDING NOTE: He is in no way like River Tam; he hides no secrets about the Alliance apart from the torture procedures, he is not a prodigy as she is, and in the normal sense, he maintains his sanity. His military training does not enable him unimaginable power apart from what special forces would be trained to do.

Likes: Quiet, solace, order

Dislikes: His past, prying eyes, the Alliance

Weapons: Although he has training with weapons and is a formidible sniper, Darius prefers to keep any of his past in the past, and will choose not to fight if he can avoid the conflict.
Perhaps one of the greatest weapons he has, however, is the inability to be affected by fear, especially concerning reavers.

Character Name: Jerad Freemont

Age: 26

His shirts are usually plainly colored and loosely fit or not wearing one at all. Physicaly he is heavily muscled comming from his life of moving cargo he is build like a farm boy with the scars that come with it, none of them deeper than a good gash.

Personality: Very energetic. He loves people and isn't afraid to show it. Though his body and presence can be intimidating his face showes otherwise, usualy holding a friendly grin or a boyish smile.

History: He grew up with a normal life, helping his family with their general store store when he could and learned to listen to people stories and use their pasts to sell them things. But his favorite part was hearing their stories, people fascinating him from a young age. When he was 16 his father died in a shipping accident involving a rogue fork lift. His mother was in her 40's when it happened so most of the physical labor fell to Jerad. He missed his father but as he once said "Ignore the past, it just makes you forget what your doing. Get your job done right quick and then worry about what you miss." He grew up that way untill he turned 24 when his mother insisted that he go out and live his life. She didn't want him growing up to not have seen the rest of the verse. So he set out, getting hired onto the first boat that would take him. Learning quickly that his strongest point was taking care of the stock on the boat. Already mastering stock in his family's store.

Likes: People and their stories

Dislikes: Destructiveness. Breaking things is the quickest way to make him angry

One day on a routine mission he runs into the Icarus.

Likes: Women, The Alliance, Ordering others, Winning

Dislikes: Browncoats, The poor, Having orders ignored, Not talking about him

Weapons: Twin pistols


User name: Katona Awirro

Character Name: Randi Hubbard (Lesha O'Rinn)

Age: 30

Trade: Assassin (Only takes jobs when the mark is an Alliance member)

Apearance: Denise Vasi (But with green eyes)

Personality: On a job she's whatever the mark needs her to be, hard worker, focused, dedicated, doesn't think much of the word family but is devoted to her sister.

History: Parents are pro Alliance however, she has been protesting the Alliance since early adolescense. At the age of 17 she and her boyfriend were captured by the Alliance at an anti Alliance protest raid. They were both tortured for months and then finally at the end of a 14 month imprisionment they forced Randi to watch as they murdered her boyfriend of 4 years before her eyes as a last tool of persuasion. They did not get the reaction they were looking for. She was not motivated to provide them with any information, the death of her lover was the end of caring for her. She had no need to stay any longer, Randi could have left at anytime. She knew she could not leave Frankie there to suffer alone. Now he was gone and she had nothing else to wait for. She escaped killing several guards including a rather malicious female that had given her quite the beating on more than one occasion. Around the guard's neck hung the locket Randi had been wearing the day of her capture, which contained a picture of her little sister and herself. This was a relief to Randi when she opened it and saw the picture was still inside, her sister was the only reason she believed in family, without her, that word would mean nothing to her. Though she had the gift of music, and danced and sang beautifully, her confidence was lacking, but when she played the flute, the world disapeared and all the existed was melody. Anytime she performed she came alive, not oly was it something she truly loved, it also afforded her a way to get into places with high security and get close to important people. She lived her life as an assassin year after year, an invisible existance, with ties to no one. There were only two days of the year that she recongnized her previous existance at all, Christmas, and her sister's birthday, on those days she would not take assignment, she would not be seen, she would put everything aside and remember the girl that had been a sister, that had a life outside of death. She wrote a letter to her beloved sister in the hope that someday they could be reunited. Every year, every letter she wrote she wondered about her sister and worried that in her long absence she would no longer care for Randi or possibly forget her entirely. Those worries were magnified by every letter she sent that received no response. Years passed and she almost caved into her own selfish fear and went back to the place she knew she would find her ister, the house in which she was no longer welcome. But she knew this would cause more grief than good, it would only endanger her sister. So she stayed away, continuing to write letters she knew she would get no answer to.

Likes: Dancing, thrill of the chase, seeing new places, singing, flute (Native American), different people and cultures.

Dislikes: The words no or can't, Alliance (gee, I wonder why), her parents.

Weapons: Kills with her hands, compound bow, throwing knives, sais, poisins, good with guns but doesn't use them often.

Pumpkin was leaning against the ship as they sat in port. This was supposed to be where the new pilot was supposed to meat her to be interview. She had double checked the coordinates. She nodded at people passing by as she waited. A few passengers wouldn't be too bad either. She ran her hand through her long red hair and watched out for the young man in the identification picture. Of course she could fly Icarus herself but this new pilot had experience as an alliance pilot and combat training, and since he was only 26 that mean he hadn't left a higher paying job with benefits on good terms with them. He probably found out somethings he didn't like. She deduced, Probably nothing to bad though or he either would have mysteriously forgotten or disappeared altogether. She began to wonder where her first mate was.
PostPosted: Fri Oct 02, 2009 9:49 pm


The crowd within the spaceport parted, revealing a pair of young ladies walking next to a guy in a patched coat with simple clothes on. The women laughed at something he said and follwed him as he made his way towards the Icarus. Approaching the ship, Renis Jakadeth, for that was the man's name, whispered something to the two women, who giggled then left. With a confident stride he saunterred up to the woman in front of the ship and smiled. "You must be the captain of this boat, may I say you're looking lovely this day." He gave a quick bow and removed an imaginary hat from his head.

"Hello Mr. Jackadeth." Pumpkin nodded to the young man. He was only a few years older then her it seemed. "Thank you for the complement." she said unsure as she looked down at her black tank-top and raggedy olive green cargo pants. It wasn't the clothes that were important to her though. His jacket was nothing but rags sewn together but that didn't matter. She herself thought it in poor taste that he walked his way to the interview with a girl on each arm but at least he seemed confident. A;; she needed to know was if he was competent. "Have you ever flown one of these before." she asked patting the side of the ship.
PostPosted: Fri Oct 02, 2009 10:14 pm


"Just call me Ren." He looked over the ship. "A [insert jumble of numbers with the word mark mixed in there somewhere] Solaria class. Been a while since I been in one a' these." He looked over at the captain, adjusting his coat. "That doesn't mean I can't make it do things most folks never dream'd of though." He resisted the urge to make some remark under his breath about one of his lady friends, he had a feeling it wouldn't go over well with this person.

Felicia made her way toward Icarus pushing a cart of much needed supplies. She saw Pumpkin talking with man in a patchwork coat.
"Whew sorry it took so long." She said wiping sweat off her brow. "You know how traders can get, is this the pilot?" She said giving the man a better look over.
PostPosted: Fri Oct 02, 2009 10:39 pm


She looked him up and down once more and without even letting him give a test drive and show them his skills she turned to Felicia and said "Yep. He's got the job." she took a look inside the cart and frowned "Are turnips the only fresh vegetable they had? wWǒ kào! If I have to eat steamed turnips one more time they'll start growing out my ears." she sighed "Oh well lets get this loaded up. We need to head out. I hear word of some mechanics of New Thailand on the other side of the planet."

Ren smiled. "Thank you Captain, you are such a generous and kind person." He bowed again, then turned to the first mate. "Well hello there," he said taking her hand and kissing it, "I am so fortunate to be on a ship with such a beauty as you." He gave her a winning smile. "May I ask your name?"
PostPosted: Fri Oct 02, 2009 10:57 pm


Felicia shrugged. "Food is food, at least it's better then that time when all we had was dog food." She made a sound of digust. Felicia eyes widened as she felt Ren kiss her hand. She quickly came out of her shock, taking Ren's hand in hers. "Felicia Mayfleet first mate, good to have you aboard." She said grinning giving his hand a shake.

Ren returned her grin as he took the cart from her. "Allow me Ms. Felicia." He wheeled the cart in through the hatch and inside the ship.
