Firefly: Suns and Daughters

[Ryudo]

The year is 2515, and it‘s been four years:

Four years since the Gorram Alliance took Serenity Valley, four years since the Independents suffered its most crushing defeat and the Alliance assumed control of the ‘Verse, four years since every smart Browncoat went into hiding.

But not every Browncoat was smart, and a few of them were crazy enough to get a crew together and keep on flying. Now they’d need jobs, but with the Alliance breathing down their necks they didn’t have the luxury of choice, but so long as they had a ship and the people to man it they could get work, and with that work they could survive.

Now, this is the story of Eric West and his ragtag crew, a group of individuals who flew a transport shipped named Themis. Now, you might not of heard anything about Themis, or her crew and their adventures, but that is about to change.


Name: Eric West
Age: 35
Height: 6’1”
Weight: 185 lbs

http://image3.examiner.com/images/blog/EXID3283/images/eric-dane-1.jpg


Occupation: Captain
Load-out: During the Unification War Eric developed the belief that every wasted bullet was a wasted opportunity, not mention a sin. Because of this Eric learned to conserve his ammo and utilize highly accurate weapons. With this in mind Eric carries around a semi-automatic rifle that he stole from a weapon developer and a pistol.

Biography: Born on the small border planet called Athens, Eric West was the youngest of four children in the West family. Eric’s father, Henry West, worked as meager miner in one of Athen’s enormous marble quarries, while his mother, Jill West, stayed at home and raised her children. Sadly, while giving birth to her fifth child Jill passed away, and so too did the child. Alone and embittered, Henry West entered a tailspin from which he never fully recovered. Eric and his two brothers took over as the providers, and when the Unification War began all three of them jumped at the chance of getting away from the hell they called home, and only Linda West, Eric’s sister, remained home to take care of her father.

Eric proved himself countless times during the Unification Wars as a capable sniper, but his defining moment came two years into the war. The Independents had been pinned down during the battle of New Kashmir, outmanned and outgunned, the Independents were backed into a corner and the Alliance was gearing up to slaughter every single person that had a speck of brown on them. The Independents, ready to give their lives in service to what they believed in prepared to hold their ground against the alliance. Now Eric didn’t lead a daring mission into the heart of the Alliance camps and turn the tides of battle all by himself, but he did create a ruse that allowed thousands of independents to escape New Kashmir before the Alliance even knew what had happened. After his heroic actions Eric was granted his own ship, and he fought the Alliance for three more long and bloody years. During those three years both of his brothers died, and there is also talk that his father and sister died during an Alliance raid on Athens.

After the Independents were defeated Eric disappeared like many Browncoats did, but unlike the rest Eric didn’t resurface for three years. When he returned no one knew what he had done while he was gone, all they knew were two things, that he had changed, and that he was recruiting.

Personality: Eric was once a bright and cheerful young man but the Unification war and the loss of his entire family have left deep emotional scars. Though Eric might not be as happy or as carefree as he once was before, he is still a compassionate soul who loves deeply, holds others up before himself, and would do anything for his crew.

Skills/Training: A capable sniper, Eric can also handle himself in hand to hand combat. But his real skills are his strength of mind, indomitable will, and leadership qualities. Eric knows that without his team he is nothing, and that together no power in the ‘verse can stop them

Themis’ engines roared loudly as the ship powered away from the ground and towards the stars. Eric looked out of the port window as he watched Beaumonde disappear, he gave a half-hearted wave goodbye as he turned around and headed to the cargo room, he had picked up a few odds and ends that Themis needed, a couple of new passengers and promising crew members, and a very special load of ‘cargo’.

Now this is where you come in, fill out the CS sheet, and make sure you describe when you’ve joined the crew, and if you know Eric.



Here is my special little GM twist, please PM me a secret about your character, or a special motivation for your actions. I am going to be incorporating this into the story to personalize the story for everyone and hopefully keep things interesting and pertinent.

Name: James P. Morgan
Age: 55
Height:5'11"
Weight:180lbs
Appearance: http://blogs.bet.com/entertainment/whattheflick/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/244freemanmorgan092806.jpg
Ocupation: Sheperd
Loadout:1 pocket bible, a broken basic all-key from his childhood, and a small leather bag with a first-aid kit (ace bandage and guaze, sewing needle and thread, and a tin flask burbon for the pain.)

A small gun inside a regular sized false bible for when he has to use something.
http://www.astorarms.ca/images/Prohibited%20Handguns/Forehand%20Arms%20Mass,%20topbreak%20cal%2038%20se r997448%20cropped.JPG

Personality: Most of the time he is calm, patient, kind, and full of sage advice for people whether they want it or not. However, there is a point, a line if you will, when you cross it, find a diety quickly to pray to because you made a lasting enemy with a mind of a patient chess master.

Brief History:
Born to a impoverished family with alot of kids, his parents gave him over to a Church to be raised well and fed. Growing up James got his basic education from Bible and the Sheperds that took care of him. This included his "Three R's", gardening, sewing, and chess.

As he grew up, he did like all kids do and found friends among the local boys. Unfortunately, those boys were not the best influences on his young mind, and he got to lots of trouble for pickpocketing and Breaking and Entering, but since he was a kid, the Sheperds were able to keep bailing him out.

James eventually "grew out" of it and became a Sheperd and a missionary. He was often on either side of the war providing what help he could. It was during this period James received his field medical training from the Alliance doctors, however, they only wanted him to help their soldiers. He disagreed so he up and ran to Independant's line. James was tortured by the Browncoats because they believed he was a spy, but he slowly proved trustworthy and was allowed to help the soldiers of both sides, if only in secret.

James, like most of the losers, became a drifter. He hoped from one job to another when he got bored with it for years. He finally got word that on Haven there was a place setting up to be a refuge for the meek and downtrodden. His curiousity got the better of him, so he took the first transport he could afford to see if he could help.

On this refuge, New Haven, he met a fellow Sheperd for the first time in an age. Over some months, almost a year, they became friends and started to understand each other. When they had free time, the other Sheperd from being the leader and Sheperd Morgan from being the resident physican, they played a game of poker or sometimes chess, which they never finish because something would always come up.

Name: Jedediah Kingsley ("Doc")

Age: 47

Height: 5'9

Weight: 167 lbs.

Appearance: http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l110/Desperado_03/Deadwood/Deadwood-Doc_Cochran.jpg

Occupation: Doctor and impromptu Assassin

Load-out: Doc's surgical expertise means he can handle a scalpel, and that's what he uses in melee combat. Scalpels are easy to find, easy to conceal, and are designed to cut through flesh like butter. So why not?

Speaking of medical supplies, Jed also has a large tote bag he carries around with him full of medical supplies-his own tried-and true homemade first-aid kit, which he claims to be far superior to the cheap bargain-bin kits most shops pawn off.

Also, he "acquired" a laser pistol (think the beam pistol from "heart of gold"), tho back here in the backwater reloads are hard to come by, so he's stingy with his shots and usually only has to fire once. He uses it to make surgical, precision strikes-and sometimes for crude battlefield amputation.
http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/ww216/SpeedyB64/laserpistol.jpg

Biography: Jedediah was born in Greenleaf in the poor district of the capitol city to parents who desperately wanted to get their son out of the squalid and violent place they were living. He went to school, where he was discovered to be a child prodigy. Years later, he graduates from one of the many medical colleges that Greenleaf is so famous for and opens a free health clinic in his old neighborhood to aid those who have been maimed by the daily violence of city life.

Twenty or so years pass, and everything is going great, until an Alliance detective discovers Jed's dark secret: over the years, he has been murdering local drug lords, serial killers and particularly violent gang members in a futile effort to stem the tide of violence that flows into his clinic. He is given a choice- leave your wife, your clinic, and everyone you ever knew, and serve the Alliance-or be exposed and executed. He accepts, and abandons his old life for a new one as a senior combat medic in the military. He fights through practically the entire Unification War, healing browncoat and alliance grunt alike-often defying superior's orders to do so. His stubborn clinging to the Hippocratic oath chafes his superiors, but he is far too talented to be able to afford to lose him.

By the time the war is over, he is done-done with the Alliance, done with Doctoring, done with everything. He heads out to the backwater, where he has been selling his services as a medic and a skilled assassin, honed by all those years of hunting down all those scum who desperately deserved the miserable end they got.

Personality:Jedediah used to be a hopeful and optimistic young man who believed he could change the world. The events in his life have changed that. Now he is a bitter old man who doesnt believe in pretty much anything anymore-though his old sense of justice shines through in that he will try to kill badguys to prevent innocents from being harmed. He also has developed a nasty drinking habit-a way of forgetting all the horrors he has experienced throughout his life, I suppose.

Skills/Training: Jed is highly skilled in combat-related injuries, having spent his whole life treating such wounds. He has skill with a scalpel, which he uses to cut through damaged tissue, clothing obstructing the wound, and the jugulars of any foe who gets too close. He has a masterful knowledge of the human anatomy, which means he knows just how to heal you and just how to hurt you-which he does with deadly accuracy and efficiancy thanks to his trusty laser pistol.

Yay! Hope this is okay. Expect a pm right after this.

Name: Sari

Age: 25

Height: 5'2''

Weight: 120 lbs

Appearance: http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/zz102/Jezzy666/tzJuY3wjBaVaik8i53.jpg

Occupation: Registered Companion

Load-out: Sari is, like every other registered companion, trained in swordplay and archery. She is also trained at using small, concealable knives. She is not a very good fighter, however.

Biography: Sari was born on Paquin, presumably the abandoned daughter of a dancing girl. She was adopted by the carnival ring master her found her, and raised in his carnival. He treated her as his daughter, taking her with him on many business trips to the many resorts across the system. There, she met many a shrewd business woman who knew how to work men. She learned seduction and business at the hands of these women at an early age.

In spite of her aptitude, her father could not afford to send Sari to be trained by the Companion Guild. However, very suddenly at the age of fourteen, she was transported to a guild house to begin her training.

She has been one of the few registered companions to keep away from core planets, opting instead to ship out with the crew of the Themis.

Personality: Sari is a shrewd business woman who values her profit over just about everything else. Her down to earth upbringing though has made her a bit more rough and tumble than your average companion, although she is loathe to show her backwoods side. She makes every effort to appear collected and poised and elegant in front of everyone. She is not a mistrusting person, but is slow to let people see the softer side of her personality.

Skills/Training: Sari is a Companion, and is thus trained with all the skills therein. She is a noted dancer and accomplished singer, and gives a mean massage. She's also a very good cook and artist. Her combat skills are lacking somewhat, though.

Name: Godwyn Richmond
Age: 29
Height: 6' 0''
Weight: 175 lbs
Appearance: http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/73/34ovlsw.jpg
Occupation: Technician/Intelligence service

Load-out: Godwyn has a black market gun, but he's never fired it.

Biography: Born in a middle class family from Prometheus, a core planet fully controlled by the Alliance and no Independent presence, Godwyn Richmond had an easy life. The younger of two brothers, he received a scientific education. His talent and family history made him join the Alliance soon as a bureaucrat. Therefore, while he supported unification, he never fought in the war. Actually, he never left Prometheus after the war was over.

Godwyn's job in the Alliance was organizing and supervising terramorphing projects. After the war, he started travelling to the different planets in the last phase of terramorphing he was working on, and he contacted people from all the 'verse. That was the first time he met Independents and that made him think about a different point of view in the war.

Godwyn started to ask himself about wheter the ways of the Alliance were right or not. He still thought unification could benefit people from every planet if done properly, but a part of the system needed to change. He even met some of his partners in the Alliance who had a similar opinion. He would've liked to find out more information about the Alliance, but soon after he started his research, he found some documents which proved bribes, tortures and even worse things made by Alliance members, including one of his direct superiors. Unfortunately for Godwyn, he was caught. Although he made out a quite credible story about why he was so interested in classified subjects, he was invited to leave the Alliance, so his family wouldn't lose his privileges. Godwyn had actually been thinking about quitting the Alliance, so he accepted. Knowing his family wouldn't understand the situation, he traveled through some planets and bought a gun in the black market for protection, until he finally found out a bunch of Independents he could help. He still thinks the unification could work, but the Alliance is a threat to peace and stability, and he believes the solution for the conflict can't ignore the Independent feeling.

Personality: Polite, introvert, well-mannered and calm. He's best in his comfort zone but won't freeze if he faces a hard situation. Since he usually refuses to talk about his life, he might seem cold for strangers, but he surprises the few people who get to know him well. Despite him being a peaceful man, he'd kill for his friends if necessary.

Skills/Training: Due to his scientific and technological education, Godwyn can interpret scientific data and work with any kind of devices, including communication and navigation systems. Despite the fact he willingly left the Alliance, he's still got his contacts inside the organization, and can get useful intel. However, an ex-Alliance bureaucrat might be suspicious for some of the crew, and he won't reveal information who could compromise old friends.

Biography: Zack was born and raised on Blackburne, a very class-strict industrial and mining world. Like many others in that time, he lived with the bare necessities to get by, sometimes even less than that. Food and warmth were a luxury, even after the Alliance came in and took over. In truth, the state of the planet got even worse. With Blackburne being run by military brass in lieu of a successful businessman, the laws became stricter and the freedoms got strangled.

Zack usually got by with minor theft or roughing up some smaller kids that had a bigger meal than he did and traded them the meal for less bruises. When the Alliance came, he was routinely punished, usually publicly, for his thefts. The beatings were not soft. They usually got the nearest farming tool or rope and started beating him with it in the street. Kicking and stomping.
Zack Raam was no stranger to pain, but what the Alliance soldiers put him through set a fire in his belly. It changed him. It got to the point Zack wanted to get caught just to get beaten, so it would fuel that fire.

When the time came for rebellion, Zack snapped. He was always a quiet boy, he never really spoke to anyone. You know the saying about the silent angry types…

He hunted down and murdered each of the Alliance officers on Blackburne that ever caused him a scrap of harm, and they did not go peacefully or cleanly, either.

Zack joined the Browncoats without hesitation, having a craving to shoot or stab or just plain kill purple-bellies after his initial mental breakdown. He fought on his homeworld as well as more pivotal battles such as Du-khang, the Battle of Surges, and Serenity Valley.

Being part of the 13th Company, better known as “Wolf Pack” or “The Bastards”, Zack had exposure and training to the more shady ways of waging war. The 13th Company remained detached from the majority of the Independence Forces, mostly because they were a Company of people like Zack, half-crazy, violent, inglorious bastards. The 13th was used just as much for suicidal frontal assaults as they were for scouting, sabotage, and assassinations.
Zack took the position of pointman in his platoon, being of a heavy build with greater-than-average stamina, he was the one who carried around the heavy weaponry, usually a heavy machine gun and/or explosives.

At Du-Khang, the 13th were a force to be reckoned with. That was their element, unconventional guerilla urban warfare at its finest. While the 57th was dug in at a Buddhist temple and the 22nd at a school, the 13th, being of smaller size, never stayed stuck in one spot for more than a couple days at a time. Zack and two other Bastards were able to sneak in to the financial district of the city under the cover of night and set up a great killing ground. Zack took position with is MG in a bombed-out apartment while his two comrades set up a sniper nest in an abandoned treasury. Zack and the other two Bastards stayed until they ran out of ammunition, leaving several hundred purple bellies dead. They were forced to move out when an armored column rolled through.

In the Battle for New Kashmir, Zack got detached from the rest of his platoon by an Alliance air raid. He did what he knew what to do: he found a nest and set his gun up and waited out the raid, filling any Alliance soldier or medic or officer that crossed through his cone of fire with holes. At the end of the raid, one shell landed very close to the already-weak building Zack was holed up in, causing it to collapse.
On his way through the war-bombed street, Eric West was scanning the rubble for any signs of Alliance ambushes, and saw the barrel of a large MG sticking out of the rubble. Going to investigate with a couple other troops, one of the men went to retrieve the gun. Every bullet was useful. Pulling the gun free, a powerful hand still held the grip, finger on the trigger; a battered hand cannon popped out of the pile as well, telling the Browncoat to let go of his baby.
Eric pulled Zack free of the rubble, helping the fellow Browncoat back to the camp for some medical attention and some food. Zack and Eric fought together for a few months on New Kashmir until it was time for the retreat. Eric had to all-but drag Zack from the line kicking and screaming. During the retreat, Zack reunited with the 13th and made it off world.

In the Battle of Surges, Zack took part in the miniscule ground fighting, since most of the battle took place is space. The ground combat was restricted to mere skirmishes, both sides in a stalemate over the stockpile of money the battle was being fought over. In this battle Zack made good use of his stealth training and made off with a good deal of money, most of which he kept to himself.

In Serenity Valley, the 13th saw the most action since Du-Khang. Almost all of the 13th died that day. They were fighting a conventional battle in trenches. The desert terrain of the valley and the constant advancement and air support of the Alliance made it near impossible for The Bastards to set up their roadside bombs or other booby traps. Zack kept fighting however, improvising, adapting, and overcoming; the Browncoat way. His trusty MG, Bruce, found the flat terrain of the valley a great place to work, offering the advancing Alliance as much over as it did the Independence, and that was very little. With the Independence brass officially surrendering and the 57th getting all but wiped out, along with the 13th, Zack and the surviving members of the Wolf Pack were trapped behind enemy lines.
Zack was one of five surviving 13th Company soldiers that remained behind enemy lines on Serenity Valley for weeks on end, still fighting a war they already lost. Finally getting a way off-planet, Zack became a Dustdevil, one of those terrorists that targets Alliance property and personnel just because they were Alliance.

Killing for kicks doesn’t pay well, you can’t buy bullets with half-sanity. Several criminal syndicates paid Zack and his Dustdevils a good deal of cash for completing jobs other people had too much sense to consider plausible. Plant a bomb in an Alliance politician’s car? No problem. The jobs ranged from roughing up people who missed payments to train heists, to bombing Alliance Military hospitals. Zack got to the point in which he became more of a thug than the soldier he once thought himself to be. He became a favorite of Nischka, since Zack and his crew always made their reputation solid with every job.

When all of Zack’s 13th Company comrades died on a job, he disappeared, vanished off of the face of the verse. He had had an Operative on his trail for months, and even he lost the trail. The Dustdevil was presumed dead, it was even declared so on the Central Cortex. In truth, Zack returned to his home moon of Blackburne, only to become a thug there. He made a steady income each year and protected his family…. until Reavers attacked and he was forced to flee with a few other refugees.

He heard that there was a Captain with a ship looking for a crew, someone he was quite familiar with. All ships pass through Persephone, so he brought all the cash he had stockpiled over the years, as well as all of the guns, and bought all the ammunition, explosives, other weapons, liqueur, and cigars that he could carry. This was a chance to start over…. Again. When he learned that the captain was no other than Eric West, his buddy from New Kashmir and fellow Browncoat, Zack raised his right hand and swore never to betray him or disobey him without sound reason. Even though they never really became close during the war, that battle-brother bond was still there. Zack treats Eric as his little brother just as much as he does his Captain

Zack has been on Eric’s crew for around a year now, providing his unique services, ranging from some really hard asking, to killing, to just standing there and frowning while stroking his gun.

Personality: Zack is... special. Needless to say he is somewhat insane, due to being in the 13th, but he was crazy before that, anyways. Usually keeping to himself, only really being open around Eric. Zack seems more like a dog than a person at times; Eric tells him to jump, and he does. Very rarely will Zack question Eric. He opens up more when he trusts someone, but even then, he isn’t super talkative. He is by no means a “robot”, though. He laughs at things that are funny, and he will be a part of a conversation, but he just may not add anything to it. Usually calm most of the time, but there are a select few things that set him off, and when he goes off……


Skills/Training: firearms of all sizes, intimidation (physical and mental), demolitions, explosives, guerilla warfare, criminal tactics, hardened physique and increased stamina due to his time in the Army and even from his time on Blackburne. His strong will, and most of all: his loyalty.

Occupation
Pilot

Load-Out
Robin keeps a supply of knives suitable for both slashing and throwing hidden in his vest. He keeps a smaller emergency knife in each boot, and carries a six-gun at his hip. He goes nowhere without a deck of cards and set of dice, but as Lady Luck is not always on his side, he keeps an ace up his sleeve, literally, and some loaded dice in his pocket.

Biography
Born on the planet Abendroth, a world of rich culture located just outside of the central planets, Robin grew up an only child in a middle class family. The Gable family often spent their evenings seeing the sights and enjoying the music of the downtown area, playing games of chance and finishing off the night by watching the stars and counting the ships as they passed by. Robin always dreamt of piloting a ship of his own someday to fly off into space and see all that there was to see.

And then the Unification War came. Abendroth quickly succumbed to the Alliance, and as Robin entered his teenaged years, he saw the culture he loved slowly disappear. Evening concerts were considered disturbing the peace. Gambling was outlawed. The stars became obscured by the high towers and bright lights. Anyone who defied the Alliance was hauled off, never to be seen again.

When Robin reached the age of 14, his parents joined the war to fight for the Independents. They left their son in the hands of a flight instructor on Persephone, at his own request. He spent the next year and a half on a small supply ship, and received letters from his parents on a regular basis. During his spare time, he joined the merchants he met during his rounds to play cards, and picked up a knack for it. When he had learned enough to pilot a ship solo, he began looking for work. It was also around this time that he received the final letter with the familiar military stamp. It was from the squadron commander, informing him that his parents had gone missing in the line of duty.

At 16, Robin joined a crew of traveling entertainers. Musicians, actors, dancers: a vagabond cabaret, moving from border planet to border planet to deliver their satire of the Alliance and keep up the moral. During his time there, he learned to do more than simply pilot the ship. He eventually joined in on the act, first doing card tricks, and then as an actor and entertainer. He had the chance to practice with knives and a six-shooter, and incorporated both into his act by pinning thrown cards to walls and shooting moving targets out of the air. He perfected his accuracy with both weapons, and reveled in the frustration he and the rest of the crew caused the Alliance. Though he had been too young to join the war with his parents, he had found his own way to support the Independents. He was certain nothing could stop them from reclaiming what was theirs.

History, of course, would prove him wrong. After the Unification, the vagabond crew went their separate ways. Robin took a couple of minor piloting jobs until, at the age of 22, he had saved up enough to buy his own small shuttle. He set out on his own, going wherever fate led him and using his various skills to do whatever he pleased. He left empty pockets and broken hearts in his wake, and garnered a minor reputation among the border planets as an extraordinarily lucky gambling pilot. Though not swimming in fortune, he stayed well ahead of his budget and made a successful career out of gambling and swindling.

Two years later, he landed in Beaumonde completely penniless. With only the clothes on his back, he sold his shuttle and began looking for a new employer.

Personality
Smooth-talking, quick-witted and amiable. His experience as an actor makes him hard to read, and he uses it to his advantage in the games he plays and in talking his way out of trouble. He can usually call a bluff when he sees one, and knows when to hold 'em, when to fold 'em, and when to cheat. He can't resist a bet, hates to be tied down, and loves the nightlife and festivals. However, he is prone to lapses in judgment, and occasionally experiences stretches of depression. He rarely forms long-term friendships and usually keeps to himself. In his work, he is more interested in the journey than the payoff.

Skills/Training
Years of experience as a pilot. A skilled actor with an excellent poker face. An expert marksman at close-range with throwing knives and a six-gun. Good dexterity and slight-of-hand skills.

[StormWolf]

Lacan.... Anwyn is a midget. legally a midget.

[Excalibur]

And your a certified nut job. If an engineer does not pop up soon. I'll adjust my character to fit.

[Reed]

Well, Morgan is already a Shepherd and a doctor. Adding engineer to his repertoire seems like a bit much when Anwyn would be much easier to adapt to that role.

[Excalibur]

Never said he'd be a medic, too. I said I'd adjust the character. I would like to say that he is not as good as a proper doctor.

[Reed]

If you want to take your character in that direction, sure. I just think that Anwyn already has the skillset to take over the role with very little alteration.

[Ryudo]

Peacekeeper, Storm, Lacan, and Reed, welcome aboard Themis!

Now, I hate to do this, but I am only going to accept one more character, and that is an engineer. Sorry to all who will not be able to join this Rp, please don't be discouraged and keep flying.

[mere]

Gah, I hate being busy. Does anyone know if, Gsarge was it? Is still taking the spot as engi?

[Ryudo]

Well Mere, I say wait a day, and if he doesn't post then you can post your engineer tomorrow. I'll try to get ahold of Gsarge and see if he still in, I want to keep this fair, but if I can't get ahold of him or he doen't want to do it then your good to go.
Does that sound ok?

[Excalibur]

HEY MERE! -energy-
Watch out, the little ferret will naw away at the stores of our food.

[StormWolf]

and then Zack will kill it and eat it....

[The Gypsy Queen]

I'll be damned if you do. XD Sari will keep the sweet ferret.

[Ryudo]

Zack, no killing the ferret, that's an order.

[The Gypsy Queen]

Sari: *sticks out tongue*

[StormWolf]

gorramn rodent ate my last apple....

[Gsarge]

Well dat ain't no good mista. Gonna try playing a Persephone from the lower social strata would figure a good number of them are greasemonkeys and shipworkers.

[The Gypsy Queen]

Language, Mr. Zack.

[StormWolf]

What about my ruttin' language, gorramit?

[The Gypsy Queen]

Tsk. That's no way to speak around ladies.

[StormWolf]

*shuts up and sits at the table, methodically sharpening his knife*

[Cheshire]

Well, I WAS going to join this >_> but I asked a question about my character a while back and got no answer >_>;

[Gsarge]

Ches you talkin' 'bout dat Jane Cob with bewbage?

[StormWolf]

Zack is kinda the enforcer....

[Gsarge]

Dun see why extra guns is ever a bad thing.

[StormWolf]

true.... few things are better than a girl with guns... what say Ryu? can we have 2 enforcers and an engineer?

[Lacantherope769]

Anwyn; "Necessity over Desire, which should be placed first here?" *Looks at the Boss* "Statistics show no negatives in the field with an additional fighter, as we cannot depend on a trigger happy drunk, sir"

[StormWolf]

"I'm not a drunk..." Zack mumbles as he continues sharpening his knife

[The Gypsy Queen]

Sari: Straighten your back, Zack. It's good for your posture.

[Gsarge]

Hey Mista Zack? *Looks around shifty eyed.* Wanna see ifin I can make ya phosphorous rounds?

[StormWolf]

I like phospherous rounds... they make the Alliance scream louder...

and you'll have to find a way to make me straighten by back, Miss Companion Lady...

*keeps sharpening knife*

[Gsarge]

Name: Akinseth

Age: 20

Height: 5’8”

Weight: 158 lbs.

Appearance:
http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/5291/akinseth.jpg


Occupation: Engineer/Combat Engineer

Load-out: a pistol, a last parting gift from his grandfather that had been given to him by the noble he had worked for. Based off the design of a Colt Model 1861 Round Barrel Navy but remodeled to fire .45’s. The rest of his typical load-out is bombs and grenades.

http://www.uncledaveys.com/Navy470.jpg


Biography: Akinseth was a pretty normal servant-class child growing up on, Persephone. Other than his fascination with exploding things and saying that he could “hear machine chattin”. However “chattin” with the machines seemed to be able to give him insight on how to fix them and so he worked as a servant for a noble maintaining many of the different machines in his manor along with the generator that was being used to power the estate, which he got running to 150% efficiency. He doesn’t go on about why he joined the crew, but it would seem he and the Noble had a bit of falling out and he was eager to join the crew after he “heard the song of that beautiful engine. That he would tune to be a siren.”

Personality: Akinseth is a reasonably laid back guy about most things the only three things he isn’t for going with the flow about are, keeping the engine running perfectly, keeping his grandfather’s gun in perfect order, making better bombs and grenades. Oh and making bullets.

Skills/Training: Engine/ Ship repair of all kinds, making explosives, general machining and maintenance. Gunsmithing, ammunition making.

[The Gypsy Queen]

Sari: *pats Zach's shoulder* Don't tempt me.

[Gsarge]

Akinseth; *Blushes seeing Sari.* Woah... I mean um you a passenger for us, Ma'am? You ain't from Persephone is ya?

[Lacantherope769]

Anwyn; "To answer the earlier statement of my un-natural height, does it not make my job a little more sensible?" *Stares at Zack* "And you are a Drunk, sir, I have documented tapes in the Captains room"

[Zaro]

"Glad to see someone's bitchin' about someone else's drinking habits for a change", Jed growls. "Speakin' of which, we're running low on booze. You know I can't cut on nobody right 'less I've had my drink. Unless you want mister preacher-man doing open-heart biopsies on ya", he says with a cheerless chuckle.

[StormWolf]

*Zack just gives a mirthless grin to Sari*

You, small one. I'm not a drunk... but I get angry really fast....

[Lacantherope769]

Anwyn; "Correction, HE is a drunk" *Points at Zaro*

[The Gypsy Queen]

Sari: *smiles politely* I'm just another working folk, same as anyone. Also. Alcohol is best in small amounts.

[StormWolf]

*grunts in agreement, for some reason still sharpening his knife.*

[Lacantherope769]

Ya know, I'm gonna have to be a little more dead to the world in the actual game....hmm...

Anwyn; *Sits down in front of Zack and watches his actions*

[Gsarge]

Akinseth: Zack psst Zack da gnome is staring at ya again.

[Zaro]

"Hmph." Jedediah ignores their unwanted criticisms and begins a new bottle of gin. "When you find a better doctor, let me know. I'd like to shake his hand-and then kill him. Less competition", he says with a wolfish grin, the gin bringing back a semblance of dry humour in him.

[Lacantherope769]

Anwyn; *Blinks Once*

[The Gypsy Queen]

Sari: *grimaces a bit* Note to self: never get injured.

[StormWolf]

i like how we aren't even waiting for the IC XD

Zack; "The girl's stare makes my skin itch...." he mutters flatly.

[Zaro]

"Hah! You'd be in worse luck if I was sober! You want me to operate on you with a hangover?! No, I didnt think so. So I'll just keep on drinking." Oblivious to the flaws in his logic, Jed reclines back, a look of tipsy triumph on his face.

[Lacantherope769]

Anwyn; *Shifts head to a slight lilt to one side, reaching under the table for something*

[The Gypsy Queen]

I know right?

Sari: *rolls eyes slightly and straightens her dress* I see. Captain? Anything you'd like to add?

[Lacantherope769]

Anwyn; *Leans back up and places a small, green, egg shaped object on the table* Captains asleep

[The Gypsy Queen]

Sari: Just my luck.

[StormWolf]

Zack; I'm sure he wouldn't mind if you joined him.... *puts his knife away and pulls out his machete, working that over the sharpening belt now*

[The Gypsy Queen]

Sari: *smiles* I'm sure.

[StormWolf]

Zack; *grumbles something about women and their tastes in boring, sane men*

[The Gypsy Queen]

Sari: Keep trying though, dear.

[StormWolf]

.... I have a lot of guns in my bunk...

[The Gypsy Queen]

Sari: *blinks, bewildered*

[StormWolf]

my bunk is safe... comfy mattress... Don't roll on the grenades, though...

[The Gypsy Queen]

Sari: *nods at Zack, covering her mouth with one hand*

[StormWolf]

Zack; you think I'm crazy. I'm not crazy... far from it... Can never have enough guns... never. A gun is like a woman. Take care of it and keep it clean and pretty and it'll be the best thing that ever happened to you... *continues sharpening his machete*

[Ryudo]

Eric: What did you say about women Zack? And why do I get the feeling that everyone's been talkin about me? *Turns to Sari* Somethin' happen while I was gone?

Ryu: Welcome aboard Gsarge, glad to have you, and Ches please feel free to post your character. I know you've been itching to be in this Rp since the beginning and I also know that were I in your position I would want the same thing =-)

[The Gypsy Queen]

Sari: Nothing short of possible psychosis.

[Ryudo]

Eric: Ah, you alright ma'am?

[The Gypsy Queen]

Sari: Fine thank you. *straightens dress*

[Ryudo]

Glad to hear it, now Zack back to your bunk, you smell like a bar covered in alcohol, and I guess that goes for you too Doc. And Anwyn... I don't right know what to say to you, but you should probably get some rest too. Hell, I think we could all use some rest, something tells me we have some excitement heading our way soon... Well, Sari, I'll walk you to your room if you'd like.

[The Gypsy Queen]

Sari: *smiles* How gentlemanly. *takes Eric's arm*

[Ryudo]

*Leads Sari to her room*

Sleep well M'lady.

[The Gypsy Queen]

Sari: You too. *smiles coyly*

[StormWolf]

Zack; Im not a gorram drunk... I'm not crazy, neither...

[Zaro]

*grumbles and heads to his bunk* Wake me when you got a job for me.

[Cheshire]

Name: Angel
Age: Late 20's, Early 30's
Height:5'6
Weight:126lbs
Appearance: http://cm1.theinsider.com/media/0/36/8/MillaJovovich_laugh_promostill.0.0.0x0.300x400.jpe g
Occupation: Mercenary
Load-out:

Generally speaking, she doesn't carry all of this on her at once, usually she'll carry the machine pistols, but it depends on the mission, the terrain, and what kind of opposition they're expecting.

She also tends to keep a few grenades on her person at any given opportunity.

Personality: Angel's number one concern is herself. She offers little explanation for her sword other than that it "Doesn't need to be gorram reloaded." Her personality is odd and a bit unpredictable, on personal matters she is cold and quiet, yet she is loud, confident and direct when voicing her opinion. She seems to be absolutely giddy when she's fighting, and she seems to take absolute joy in hurting and killing others.

Brief History:
Angel doesn't talk much about her past, so what exactly it is is anybody's guess. She's been a mercenary for years and is quite good at her job. If it's got a trigger or a blade, she knows how to use it; name a planet, and she's killed someone on it. The one aspect of her history, in fact, that she loves to discuss is the stories of various jobs she's been on.

One day, during a rather routine bar fight, which spilled out into the local streets, she encountered Eric. Her skill with her fists, as well as the subsequent use of her revolver, when some of the brawlers decided they were sore losers and pulled weapons, quickly landed her a position aboard the Themis.

[Peacekeeper]

Hey, it's nice to be aboard. I can't wait to see what you all think on having an ex-Alliance among the crew!

[Ryudo]

Cheshire you are accepted, awesome job!
That also means that this Rp is now closed to new applicants, Eric has his crew, and may I say they are damn fine individuals! I can't wait to work with all of you!

[Cheshire]

w00t! :D

[StormWolf]

I see angel and zack playing much cards and drinking games, and of course a game every psycho loves: Who's the Better Killer?

[Excalibur]

Hey don't the preacher can't play a deck or two. Don't expect to see your pay occasionally.

[Cheshire]

xD Oh god, they are SO going to play Who's the Better Killer xD

[StormWolf]

I was thinking they would gamble chores. Like in Firefly

[Excalibur]

Probably going to since we'll be dirt poor, just like in Firefly.

"No one said anything about kneecaps."-Sheperd Book

[StormWolf]

"Don't worry.... I'm a leaf on the wind"

"What the hell does that mean?!"

[Reed]

I was thinking of having Robin host a regular game of cards, like Riker always did in Star Trek: TNG. If anyone's up for some gamblin', he's the guy to talk to.

[StormWolf]

I see Robin and Zack being good friends, then.

[The Gypsy Queen]

Poor Sari. She's going to be a little taken aback.

[StormWolf]

she can always sit on Zack's knee and watch...

[Reed]

I see Robin and Zack being good friends, then.
Give him some time to warm up to him. He'll be glad to have a gambling buddy, but he's relatively non-violent compared to Zack the inglourious basterd.

[The Gypsy Queen]

Oh really, Storm? :D

[StormWolf]

Reed: as long as he isn't a purple belly and as long as he doesn't cheat, they'll be on relatively good terms.

Queen: http://cdn.mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/ya_rly.jpg

[The Gypsy Queen]

Sari: If you think you can hold me, sweetie.

[StormWolf]

Zack; *actually chuckles and pats his knee* Have some faith in me, why don'cha?

[The Gypsy Queen]

Sari: *smiles coyly* Hmm. Catch me if you can then.

[Reed]

Reed: as long as he isn't a purple belly and as long as he doesn't cheat, they'll be on relatively good terms.
I mentioned his tendency to occasionally cheat, but I didn't mention that he only does so when something is at stake, or when he really wants to stick it to someone. In a friendly game, he'll play fair.

I wonder how Robin and Sari will get along. They seem a lot alike in their ability to read people, though I'm sure a Companion would be much better at it. Actually, I think he'll very much distrust her for that.

[StormWolf]

Zack; Really? Tag? *grumbles and stands and starts chasing*

So, gambling for chores he would cheat?

[The Gypsy Queen]

Sari: *sits on table, amused*

[Reed]

So, gambling for chores he would cheat?
Nah. That falls under friendly game territory. When I talk about something at stake, I mean something like his entire life savings that he lost prior to joining the crew. There, he would cheat. Or take for example the slave traders Mal played pool with and subsequently robbed in one episode. Robin will cheat if someone has it coming or if he really doesn't want to lose, but he won't be a jerk about it to his crew mates.

[StormWolf]

well, he is nicer than Zack. He would just put so many holes in them they wouldn't know where to crap from anymore.

Zack; What're ya smilin' at, Sari? I'm just sayin' ya can sit on my knee. Where was yer mind going?

[The Gypsy Queen]

Sari: *straightens dress and checks nails* I have no idea what you're talking about, sir.

[StormWolf]

Zack; *chuckles* Always with the games...

[The Gypsy Queen]

Sari: Games can be fun.

[StormWolf]

Zack; Ill drink to that.

[The Gypsy Queen]

Sari: What wouldn't you drink to, dear?

[StormWolf]

Zack; *ponders a really long time.......* The 'Lliance...

[The Gypsy Queen]

Sari: *nods, watching Zack with a coy smile*

[StormWolf]

Zack; *takes a swig from a flask* Do ya want a drink, or is whisky not s spohisticated enough drink fer a Companion? I can go mug someone and get'cha a bottle of wine if ya prefer...

[Lacantherope769]

I'm so glad I'm not only playing a girl, but also an underage girl who has little to no feelings and wont think twice about turning Zack into a temporary walking bomb/decoy. Yay unintentional genius.

Anwyn: *Sits in a corner, pulls out a magazine, and reads quietly in attempts to ignore the Bickering*

[The Gypsy Queen]

Sari: Please, don't go to any bother or petty larceny on my account. Whiskey suits me perfectly well.

[Ryudo]

Ok, so exciting announcement, I just got a wave informing me that the IC will be up Friday! So make sure that everyone is ready to fly and make some cashy-money.

Also, Eric has been known to enjoy card games, he'll still be your captain, but I think he might join you once or twice for a game if you ask. Oh, and don't tell him I told you this but he is terrible at card games.

Eric: You know what Zack, I don't think I've seen you spend a cent on anything other then alcohol or weapons. *chuckles* And when I do drink I'm a scotch man myself, though I do enjoy whiskey every once in a while, course anything other then moonshine is tough to come by these days.

[Lacantherope769]

Anwyn: "Captain, please return to your post of flying the ship, as our pilot is failing at their job"

[StormWolf]

Zack; *pours Sari a shot* Yeah, Eric? And would you have it anyother way? Do ya have any idea how many times you would have had to say 'Auf Witerstein' to the 'Verse if ya didn't have me around with all mu guns? And I don't drink too often. Just when it's ruttin appropriate.

[Lacantherope769]

Anwyn: "Which is Always"

[The Gypsy Queen]

Sari: *takes the shot and cannonballs it, resting the glass gently on the table upside down* Language, Zack. *nods at Eric* Captain.

[Lacantherope769]

Anwyn: *Flips Page*

[StormWolf]

Zack; *grumbles* Why is it all women do is yell at me and boss me around..... *he places his knife on the table and spins it*

[Ryudo]

Eric: *Smiles*
Miss Sari, that was mighty impressive. And Zack, don't think I'm judging you for the guns and alcohol, just havin' a bit of fun. Now Anwyn, what was that about not havin' a pilot?

[The Gypsy Queen]

Sari: Because, Zack, you present a form that begs improving. Don't slouch. *smiles pleasantly at Eric* I aim to please.

[StormWolf]

Zack; *spins the knife again, grumbling and sitting very soldierly*

[Reed]

We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing?

Oh, right, that would be me.

[Peacekeeper]

Nice to know the IC will be posted by Friday! Can't wait to start.

I think many of you are gonna teach Godwyn how different life aboard this ship can be from life in a core planet. But don't underestimate him, he may surprise you.

[Lacantherope769]

Godwyn? Anwyn? XD

Anwyn: "Our pilot is standing here, Captain. Who else is flying?"

[Reed]

I'm not actually in character here. I assume Robin would be on the bridge. Or he would have set it to auto-pilot.

[Lacantherope769]

Uh huh

[Gsarge]

Akinseth plays with the controls "Yeah! I'm flying!"

[StormWolf]

Godwyn? Anwyn?

it's a wyn-wyn situation *ba-da-bump*

[The Gypsy Queen]

Sari: I'm going to my shuttle to prepare to flee for my life.

[StormWolf]

Zack; *has a big sad face* by why, Sari!? I thought you were my friend!

[The Gypsy Queen]

Sari: I am dear. I never said you couldn't come.

[Lacantherope769]

it's a wyn-wyn situation *ba-da-bump*

Oh thats terrible, just horrific, lol. I think my chest is gonna explode from the laughing.

Anwyn: Sneaks into one of the escape pods, and chills with her magazine

[Excalibur]

Sheperd Morgan: Move the fuck over.

[StormWolf]

Zack; *smiles and climbs in Sari's shuttle* Let's go to Disneyland!

[The Gypsy Queen]

Sari: Where's that? And what's a disney?

[StormWolf]

Zack; *shurgs* read it somewhere. Let's go to... to.... uh... hmm...

[Ryudo]

Eric: Sorry ladies and gents but ain't no leavin' the ship right now, I got a cargo thats makin me itch and I need everyone on board case we need to jet out quickly. Not that I'm thinking of jetting out quickly or anything...

[The Gypsy Queen]

Sari: *smirks* Somehow, that sounds familiar.

[Lacantherope769]

Anwyn: *Blink*

[Ryudo]

Hey everyone, I just got a wave informing me that the IC is up!
Hope you all enjoy!

[Lacantherope769]

Oy! You make my life difficult Ryudo

[Excalibur]

WHOOOP!

[The Gypsy Queen]

Hee... *is super pleased*

[Peacekeeper]

It's great to be aboard, Captain!

[Ryudo]

Wow awesome posting so far, just a few more intros and then I will write up my next IC post to keep things moving =-) Great job so far all of you!

[Lacantherope769]

I'm soooo leaving Anwyn's purpose to you Captain, in case anyone asks, as she is in essence; Your problem. ^_^

[StormWolf]

good luck, Cap'n

[Reed]

I was at least going to give this one a chance, but now that I think about it, I'll only complicate things for everyone else if I wait a while and then drop out. So I'll just do it now. I'm really not feeling this.

[Excalibur]

AWWEEEE

[The Gypsy Queen]

Sorry to hear that.

[Ryudo]

It's a shame to see you go Reed, I hate to lose talented writers, but as the saying goes the show must go on. Reed, if you want to give me comments/feedback/suggestions on any ways that I could improve my GMing in the future I'd welcome. IF you have anything like that feel free to PM me, I know you were only with me for a short time but everyones opinion is important to me.

In happier news, expect the next IC post tomorrow =-)

[StormWolf]

Ryu! I want your sig!!!

[Lacantherope769]

YAY! I'm hungry...

[Excalibur]

And we are now without a Pilot.

[Ryudo]

Ok, well I guess Eric will pilot this boat, I don't really want to wait anymore, does anyone object to this? Please let me know soon, because the IC is going to be up shortly.

[The Gypsy Queen]

Sounds groovy to me.

[Gsarge]

Seems we could twist this and let an attack before lift off off our ex-pilot?

[Reed]

Just ignore or delete the post. He was never on the ship.

[Ryudo]

Thats what I am going to do, but I am just trying to fill your spot. I think I will have Eric fly, it works since his main job of being a Captain doesn't really conflict with flying the ship. Plus Themis has a good auto-pilot, so I wont have Eric in the cockpit for the majority of the time, what I would like though is a someone to step up as a secondary pilot. There will be times when I need Eric on the ground and someone flying the ship, any volunteers?

[The Gypsy Queen]

I hate to volunteer sari for it but if she rents a shuttle then she knows about the controls. If no other option comes up there is that.

[Gsarge]

Akinseth could know how to fly transport-class ships.

[Ryudo]

Thanks for stepping up Gsarge, I think it fits into Akinseths strengths very well. Also thanks Gypsy for putting your hat in the ring too =-)
OK, crisis averted, back to finishing the IC.

[Gsarge]

I guess he'll make the ship both dance and sing.

[Lacantherope769]

Anwyn can fly it as well BTW, but that should be a last-step maneuver,lol.

[Ryudo]

I appreciate it Lacan, I hope that she wont be called to do that, but I am glad to know that we have a backup.

[StormWolf]

Zack volunteers! he can fly like a hummingbird on speed and land like a drunk albatross!

[The Gypsy Queen]

Sari is terrified and refuses to allow Zack anywhere near the cockpit.

[StormWolf]

I WAWA FLY!!!!!

[Ryudo]

I'm going to have to agree with Sari on this one Zack, sorry bud but no flying for you.

Oh, and I posted in the IC =-)

[Lacantherope769]

Yeah, Anwyn is not the best of pilots, but she can get the ship off the ground and out of Long Range AA Gun range. After that, someone better be taking the wheel, cuz she don't no diddly squat about steering. (She tends to make ships not do that)

[The Gypsy Queen]

Also posted in the ic. :D

[Lacantherope769]

As have I

Somebody's got a Cruuuuush, Somebody's got a Cruuuuuush!

[StormWolf]

Yeah! Someone has a cruuush! *shifty eyes*

[Lacantherope769]

Oooooooo, better hope the "Nine Levels of Crazy" Girl dosn't find out.

[StormWolf]

And that is reason number 7 why Zack rarely talks.

[Excalibur]

Hey, the Sheperd has a reason to be there. YAY!

[Cheshire]

Oh, this should be fun xD I'll work on a post shortly.

Edit: Shortly might mean tomorrow >_>

[Lacantherope769]

Just watching a person can give away a lot about them you know

I would also like to ask if anyone finds Anwyns choice of decor and bedding to be amusing

[Excalibur]

I plan on visiting the folks for about a week. I haven't seen them in a while and I can beg some more money off of them :)

Smell ya later.

[Ryudo]

Ok, so I think we are still waiting for a few more people.
I will continue to move the plot forward tomorrow, I want to give a bit more time for those who still need to post, sound good?

[The Gypsy Queen]

Sounds fine to me.

[Lacantherope769]

Ey, I wont be able to post for awhile, my house net is down. I'm borrowing a friends net for tonight, but I'll be headed home tomorrow so I wont be able to post then.

[Ryudo]

Posted =-)

Took me a while, hope it's worth the wait!

[Ryudo]

So Exaclibur is out for a while, but I think Lacan is back if I am not mistaken.
If thats the case we can continue moving the story on, and I will make sure that we don't leave the Shepherd behind.

Also, does anyone know where Ches is?

[Lacantherope769]

LAND THE DAMN SHIP! I CAN'T PLAY NINJA ALL THE TIME! lol

[The Gypsy Queen]

New IC post is up. Sari is silly.

Also. Is it sad that I was trying to remember a word they used in the show but couldn't recall it, yet I knew exactly which episodes they used it in and was able to go straight to the part of the script it was used in to find it?

[Zaro]

I'm going to be gone for a few days, ladies and gentlemen. I will be back on Thursday. Will try to post before then, but no promises.

[Excalibur]

Back! Whoop!

[Lacantherope769]

Again, Land. The. Ship. I only have so much ship to bug.

[Ryudo]

Gypsy, I loved, loved, loved your post, and no that isn't weird to look it up!
Storm, excellent job sir!
Welcome back Excalibur!
And Lacan, don't worry, my next post will have us on Boros, I promise =-)

[The Gypsy Queen]

[Excalibur]

[Ryudo]

Hey guys, I am right in the middle of show week for a production of Into the Woods in which I am a lead. The show will be over Sunday, and I will try to have a post up soon but I cannot guarantee that it will happen before Sunday. I hope all of you are having a fantastic week, I can't wait to work with all of you soon.

And Lacan, I will land the ship, I promise.

[The Gypsy Queen]

omg really? I love that show! I just saw a production of it and I'm sooo excited for you. Who are you playing?

[Lacantherope769]

Wow, I think one of our's down here is doing that too. Seems popular all of a sudden, lol.

[Excalibur]

OOOO Ryu the lead playa. Gonna pimp slap tha lead girl and put her in her place?

[Lacantherope769]

[Ryudo]

I am back, and as soon as I can I will have the next IC post up! I had a fantastic show, and I hope everyone enjoyed the break =-) I was the mysterious man/narrator!

[The Gypsy Queen]

XD Awesome. *hugs Ryudo*

[Lacantherope769]

[Excalibur]

[Lacantherope769]

I'm not! I just gotta make some stuff up, and not fall asleep in class

[Peacekeeper]

It's spring break and I'll be out for some days, I'm looking forward to the next post, but I won't be able to post myself until the end of the week.

Have fun, don't do anything I wouldn't, and specialy don't underestimate the Core planet tech guy.

[Ryudo]

Ok, so I should have the next post up Friday.
Hope that works for everyone!

[Excalibur]

sure

[Ryudo]

I am very happy to announce that there is a new IC post up!
I'm back and I am ready to rock. I hope everyone is well rested and ready for a wild ride, because this ships about to leave the station!

[Lacantherope769]

It needs to LAND

[The Gypsy Queen]

New IC post. :D

[Ryudo]

Fantastic post Gypsy!

[Cheshire]

>_> erm... has my character been killed off yet? >_> the past month or two has been pretty hectic and I've fallen behind on a lot of rps D:

[StormWolf]

nope. not a single shot has been fired yet, Cheshire. I think you are still in.

[Ryudo]

Welcome back Ches and nice post!
Also, nonangelic, I apologize for the super delayed response but I have good news. PM me your character and we can discuss your joining this shindig =-)

[nonangelic92]

*screams wit h delight* okay ill do that as soon as im able to hun

[Cheshire]

Thankoo :3

[nonangelic92]

oh hey what roles are open at the moment

[Ryudo]

We have an engineer but we do not have a mechanic. Also, Eric serves as both Captain and Pilot, so if you desire you could also take the role of pilot. But I know that you had expressed interest in being a mechanic nonangelic and that works really well for my idea of how you'll join the ship. Don't let that influence you one way or another though!
Can't wait to work with you!

Also, if you have any other questions feel free to ask me either here or by PM!

[nonangelic92]

okay i will. being a MECHANIC is my job just so yall know that

[Lacantherope769]

Well, the Nutso Girl position can be taken, I would like mine girl to die some crappy death. I just can't get into the feel anymore... alot of craps been... happening. So if you would, please kill Anwyn.
