This has been a thought in the back of my head for awhile but it never came out to be typed till now...it isn't solidly planned either. Don't expect me to give you any guidelines for this. I want capable writers who will write to make a good story for people to read. I would appreciate a knowledge of the show but it isn't mandatory....wait those are guidelines aren't they?


Three men sit around a table outside yelling at each other. The conversation clearly being for all to hear. Care to listen?

Antonio: "The year is 2081 (for those of you who don't know this is ten years after the events of Cowboy Bebop.) Imagine if you will our universe no longer restricted to just earth. In fact Earth is a mess, Mars is now seen a the center of the our universe. Other planets and moons have also been terraformed to house dwelling of the human race."

Carlos: " HA! Ten years ago something huge happened, yet not many people know about it. The Red Dragon Crime Syndicate was dissolved through the actions of one man: Spike Spiegel. "

Jobim: "A lot can happen in ten years though. Jet a friend of Spiegel's now has quit his life as a cowboy (A bounty hunter for those of you who don't know anything about the show.) strangely enough he has settled down docking the Bebop and opening up a mechanic shop. "

Carlos: "He is visited regularly by Ms. Faye Valentine but she never did quite recover over Spike's death, and now she searches for something to fill that void. Pretty lady she is though ain't she?!"

Antonio: "The Net diver Radical Edward and her pal Ein lived with her father for awhile mapping out Earth as the continual meteor shower took place. Recently she's disappeared and who knows what kinda trouble she is into."

Jobim: "Enough about them though, there have been more monumental things that have taken place. Bounty hunting was encouraged by the ISSP (Inter Solar System Police) and has picked up once again which in turn meant the re establishment of the hit TV show Big Shot. "

Antonio: "Why has this happened?"

Carlos: "The answer is simple don't you watch the news? With the election of the new interplanetary council (NIC) they decided to give everyone a new start, which resulted in an amnesty like none other. This wasn't the only thing they decided reset either: the economy, a new woolong (currency) distribution has tossed everything upside down!"

Jobim: "Who even elected this change in government anyway? Well it wasn't long before the NIC was at each others throats trying to put blame. They 'disbanded' and have left the whole solar system in disarray! Only little pocket governments remain and they hardly do any sort of a job."

Antonio: "Needless to say things aren't the greatest, and you can guarantee that there is now a huge power struggle going on with the higher ups in the solar system trying to get a foot hold on the top of the political ladder. "

Jobim: "...Universal domination is what I say."

Antonio and Carlos: "Shut up you fool! They'll get you for saying stuff like that!"

-----------------------------
So I want a simple character sheet. Name, Appearance, Age,Talents, other little details like if they carry any sort of weapons, own a MONO (Machine Operation Navigation of Outer space) : racer, boat, carrier?! (If so the name and bla bla bla.) Personality and such should be developed through the rp. I don't need a description of it now. They only canon characters that I'm going to allow anyone to be is characters would be Faye Valentine, Edward, and if you really want to Ein. Other than that I do not care what your character is like, political leader to street bum whatever floats your boat.

Ahem now without further ado I give you:

Name: Louis 'Lou' Howard

Appearance: http://img100.animecharactersdatabase.com:81/uploads/1357-2077516677.gif

Age: 27

Talents: Has excelled in hand to hand combat over his years of practice. However his love for machines often overcomes his disciplines of combat. An excellent mechanic.

Weapons: none

Biography: When Red Eye (a drug) began to hit the market Lou was only 17. He was easily pressured into using and enjoyed it. It was great for awhile but eventually the toll caught up to him. He suffered from prolonged pancreatic attacks. Cutting cold turkey was the hardest thing he ever had to do in his life but it also gave him a life to save. During his time of recovery he found once again a joy he had in working on machines. Anything from MONO racers to household appliances.

When the economic turmoil began he found himself out of a job, by doing odd job around the small town he lives in he has managed to get by. Slowly however a new desire has begun to grip him. It started when he helped the ISSP on a drug bust not long after his recovery. Who knows soon his desire may become a reality?

If you're still doing this, and you'll have me, I'd love to join.

And I probably have questions and a character sheet somewhere in my head... but it's late... or early depending on how you look at it and I need sleep... so I'll get back to you on that (:

I'd love to do this. I just have two questions. How many characters are we allowed to play and I was considering playing Faye. Would you want a profile for her even though she's from the anime?

The Imposter
11-08-2009, 02:33 AM
Wha' interest!? Psychedelic my friends. Yes this is still happening. Second I'm only going to play one character as a main, I'm not going to limit you on who you play just make sure you can handle them all and that your characters don't overrun the roleplay. This is a group effort after all. Third, unless you want to add anything new about Faye since between the end of the anime and now you can, other than that you do not need to put up a sheet.

Age : 23

Talents : hacker/gamer

Weapons : none

Biography : I'm a computer genius and hacker. And ok, so maybe I'm not as good as Ed, but she been doing it a lot longer than I have. Unlike Ed, I'm not this free spirited and animal loving unisex freak. I look like a girl, walk like a girl and talks like one too. Because I obviousy am a girl.

Not much is really known about me, and I like it that way. I spend my time playing games in my room or in the arcades. The information I can get my hands on, I'll sell to the highest bidder. That's how I get my money to pay for my vast collection of games and computer gear.

a salute and a cigarette,


Jo

Me three. I need to pay homage to perhaps one of the most original bad asses in anime: Spike.

Though, I was thinking...is it possible to have two characters at once?

The Imposter

Aye it is, if that is what you wish. I'm still working on the intro post. Everyone who has expressed interest feel free to put up a sheet or whatever.

Name: 'Van'

Appearance: [x] (http://img.animecentral.ge/acdb/images/Gun_x_Sword.jpg) , [x] (http://media.photobucket.com/image/van%20gun%20x%20sword/xansavior/Gun_X_Sword___Van_Vector_by_pana74.jpg)

Age: 34

Theme Song: 364 Days - Van's theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgNLUNF5Xeg)

Talents: Van has the amazing ability to survive in the harsh weathers of the outside world. Count the fact that he rarely has enough money to spend on either food or Shelter might contribute to the experience. Inscribed in his mind is a Computer that allows him to literally 'download' information with relative ease. Heck, there is a USB connection at the back of his head, hidden away as a scar. Along with this 'package' is Night vision, Probability calculators and a viewer for all the 'information' he harvested.

With the development of a perfect 'super spy' comes the issue of defense. While the Neural and brain enhancement was as far as artificial enhancements go, Van is able to better defend himself at close combat, relying more on an unorthodox and totally random fighting style that makes it hard to predict where and when he would strike next.

Weapons: A sword that looks like a belt, having the properties of a bladed whip that can be used to slash or grapple onto things. But by pressing a button, the belt hardens into an actual sword, the nanomachines hardening the textile into metal. Yes, he's aware that the sword itself seems like a phallic symbol...

Biography:

Don't forget that you can put your game in The Roleplay Directory (http://role-player.net/forum/showthread.php?t=51) if you haven't
already done so.

Also, if you are still in need of players don't forget that you can submit your rp to be show cased as Rp Of The Week! (http://role-player.net/forum/showthread.php?t=905)

MONO - White Hunter (http://cache.kotaku.com/assets/resources/2008/03/gradius_iii_vic_viper_back.jpg) Fast and versatile.
Biography: Aaron was a free runner; running across the urban landscape. This is what caught the attention of a petty street gang. Aaron joined and steadily rose up the ranks until the police began cracking down hard on them. During one of these crackdowns Aaron ran from the police, stealing the White Hunter in the process.

He began moving from planet to planet evading the police until they eventually let up.
