"That's my ship. Sovereign class mid bulk transport. We call her the Jericho. She ain't much, and she's beat to hell. But, she flies. And that's enough. She's more than a ship to me and my crew.

Name: Miria Eoin
Gender: Female
Age: 26
Height: 5'4''
Weight: 60 kg
Appearance:

Occupation: Doctor aboard
Equipment (What you usually carry): Her pocket-knife is something she carries everywhere. Also, every time they get off the ship, she always brings a backpack with basic first-aids elements and equipment to treat emergencies.
Personality: Miria is an observer. Nothing ever goes unnoticed by her, and she is quick to get to accurate conclusions with what she sees. But she's not one to usually bring her thoughts up. Independent, understanding, and a good confidant, she has a lot of patience for almost anyone; but, once it runs out, and she loses her temper, you really don't want to be near her.
Background: Miria was born in New Bavaria, a pro-Alliance planet. Her parents weren't too fond of this Alliance though, and they passed on their ideals and knowdeledge to her. When she was 19, she left home to explore other planets and cultures; she came across an old man who would become her teacher, and they traveled together for many years, going through dangers, experiencing the roughness of the reality, and having to survive the violence and harshness of the Outer Rim, where they spent most of their time volunteering as doctors. She rarely talks about those times, though.
The man died of old age when they were doing voluntary medical service not long after the Annexation War in Bilior. Deciding that she didn't want to be alone, she didn't think it twice before joining a newly-formed crew as the medic. Miria and the captain got along well, and ended up falling in love and marrying after not long.

Name: Jessica "Sparky" Roseline
Gender: female
Age: 24
Height: 5'9
Weight: 125lb
Occupation: ex escort, ex military pilot.
Equipment (What you usually carry): tool belt, forgery kit
Personality: Jessica was named for her personality. She's bouncy with a good Denver of humor. Though she tends to love the ship she is flying more then people. When flying hard, though she may joke, all focus goes to the task at hand.
Background (optional if you have it figured out): Jessica was raised to be an escort. It was all she knew and so she never thought about anything else... until, that is, she got clients. One client was an alliance pilot her promised her love, a life and a career. She blindly followed him into pilot training. Turns out there are alot of similarities to flying a ship as there is a man or woman. You have to let your body feel every tense, every shake, every moan. Needless to say she graduated and became a pilot for the alliance. She was happy there, not with the alliance, but with the ships, until she was discharged for disobedience when she left a suicidal situation to save the ship. She wound up at a bar which is where she met the Captain.

Name: Timothy Brier (fraternal twin brother Tobias Brier)
Gender: Male
Age: 40
Height: 4'6"
Weight: 130
Appearance:

Occupation: "Public relations"
Equipment: An umbrella swordcane when he has to be civil in public. The fabric of the umbrella itself is a ballistic mesh, able to take a few rounds of standard handgun fire before ripping apart but wont stop a rifle round. The sword is made from a good strong metal that is kept sharp as he can with his strength to cut to bone easily. He took it from a magician who owed Tim's bookie some fairy dust that 'magically disappeared' up the magicians nose.

If he doesn't have to be civil, he's been known to lug around all manner of unplesantness from wrenches or hammers to one time he used one mans prosthetic arm to break another mans real arm.
On his hip he carries a unique looking grenade pistol. Since launching grenades are generally difficult if not illegal to obtain, he has 'collected' a pair of unique shells that loads twelve rounds to be fired one at a time before needing to be reloaded. One of them serves as a standard gun while the other functions to fire all twelve rounds at once for an ensured miserable day for someone. Usually it is him if he misses.
If weapons are particularly dissuaded against, he uses his sword swallowing trick to tie off a pair of Canton ceramic throwing knife dipped in wax to his back molars by some floss to slip past scanners and pat downs but he cant talk or run with the blade set in his esophagus.
Personality:
He's a thug and he knows it. He's lived his life being different and only having the passings for family. He loves his brother and would do just about anything for him once he finds him. Without his brother to do the long term thinking for them both, he's prone to making brash decisions and as such often has a trouble of accruing gambling debts.
Background:
Well didn't they win the genetic lotto? He got both AD AND he got MRMH but his brother only got one of the two. You know what this gives you? Twins half your size that can throw you out a bar window with a Molotov cocktail to follow. He's always been picked on as a kid along with his brother and they always picked back, becoming a pair of school bullies and eventually a professional thugs when they got old enough to break kneecaps or burn cars. His brother loved to play with fire though since he didn't develop the muscle growth and it became his signature act. Together they at one time joined a carnival and used their skills as a strong man and fire breather along with developing other skills like sword swallowing and the like until things went south when a bounty hunter caught up with them. His brother got caught by a cruel black man in a red suit while he managed to escape. He's been on his own for a year now and part of him always wonders what will happen when he and his brother meet up again.

Name: Kira Foster
Gender: female
Age: 22
Height: 5'5
Weight: 120
Appearance:

Occupation: mechanic
Equipment (What you usually carry) : a multi-purpose knife; doesn't usually like to fight but is not bad with weapons
Personality: sarcastic and clever, good at problem-solving. She's not always the nicest person, but she's very loyal. She never cries, and dislikes people who are overly sensitive.
Background (optional if you have it figured out) : Her mother died giving birth to her. Her dad was a mechanic on Viranda, and she liked to watch him work. It was his belief that mechanic was a man's job, and so he refused to let her help with his shop. She practiced on her own, though, taking apart various appliances in her house and putting them back together, and eventually she started sneaking out to the scrap yard and gathering materials to build things of her own.
When she was 17, her father killed himself. She walked into the shop one day to find him dead on the floor with a gun in his hand a hole in his head. Nobody knew why. She hadn't had a good relationship with him for obvious reasons, but it still messed her up big-time.
She took over the shop and did a better job than her father had ever done, but she became antisocial and depressed. She ran the shop for 5 years, and fixed anything that was brought to her, without fail. She made a good sum of money, but nobody ever saw her outside of the shop.
Eventually, she stopped sleeping. She would stay up all night in the shop, tinkering away. Then early one morning, she seemed to snap. If someone had been watching her, it would have looked like she was breaking out of a trance. Her head lifted and her eyes brightened. She dropped whatever she was working on, letting it smash on the floor. She grabbed a welding torch from the wall and walked out. She set the shop on fire in one swift movement, tossed the torch into the inferno, and kept on walking until she fell down. She slept in a crumpled ball on the ground, and when she woke she felt much better than she had in years. The next day, she applied (or whatever; she got the job on the ship somehow), and we shall go from there.

Name: Lionel Sears
Gender: Male
Age: 27
Height: 5"10
Weight: (Skinny for 5"10. I'm not good with these numbers)
Appearance:

Occupation: First Mate
Equipment (What you usually carry): Lionel usually carries a Camelid nine-chamber revolver, ammo to spare, and a communicator.
Personality: Fairly light-hearted and jovial. He has an optimistic and easy going approach to life, yet a bittersweet and cynical view of the world and people. He’s no ladies man but he can get playful and flirty as a means of mild rebellion if threatened by a female, or if he needs to manipulate a female to his advantage. He’s good looking and charming and he knows it. To his friends, he’s very nice guy and fun to be around. To his enemies, though. He doesn’t mess around. He can kill without any remorse.
Background: (I'd prefer to improvise this. That's how I roll.)

Played by Singemeister
Name: David Hesterson, Design-7:Batch-1:Model-13
Gender: Outwardly male, technically ungendered
Age: David has been operational for twelve years.
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 225 pounds
Appearance:

David normally wears loose, obscuring clothing. He doesn't have much of a fashion sense.
Occupation: Created as a 'reusable' assassin, D7B1M13 went on the run after six years and has been doing his best to make ends meet. While he does not need food, he still needs repairs and electricity. He works mostly in jobs that require more muscle than speech. As such, he'll sign up for Public Relations
Equipment : David is equipped with:
-A HabenIgur central battery allowing for up to 50 hours of normal activity without recharging (Battery life shortens with weapon usage)
-An implanted Weyland-Yutani Laser Cannon, effective at killing for 100 metres. Some features have been removed, notably the rapid-fire coolant system and and intensity adjuster. David can fire thirty shots without putting his battery life in danger, and can fire a shot every ten seconds without causing damage to the barrel. Located along underside of right forearm
-Body Armour underneath clothing and synthskin to protect delicate components. Should be capable of standing up to anything short of military calibre.
-Hydraulic musculature replicant system allowing superior speed and strength (compared to baseline human) for up to an hour.
-Synthskin covering (mostly destroyed, only on face. Looks unrealistic and unnerving)
Personality: David's personality is defined by his Reversed-Asimov Logic Core, that focuses survival over obedience and not harming humans. As such he tends to be overly cautious, even paranoid, about situations that could bring him serious damage or cause him to run out of battery power. He know that he disturbs people with his false-looking skin and uncanny valley mannerisms and speaking fashion, and thus remains terse. Most social customs are a mystery to him, and, whilst he can construct half-decent cover stories, he can't lie to save his life.
Background: The 7th Design Assassin 'bot was one that was conceived after the government realised the price of building each separate bot and considered it alongside the suicidal devotion the robots showed to carrying out their orders. The 7th design valued survival over obedience in order to try and save money. It didn't work as planned, and all the 'bots were scrapped, except for a few. When they came for him, David managed to escape. Since then, he has been on the run, signing up with folks in order to get by. Turns out he rocked up on your doorstep.

"That's my crew. We got ourselves a doctor/medic, a pilot, a mechanic, a first mate, and a couple gunhands. Later on down the line we may be looking for more of the latter. So here's how it happened. Some politicians sitting in their nice cushy world decided it would be a good idea to unite the people under one government. Some of us took issue to that. So we fought them. Pretty well, too, if you ask me. But, there were more of them than there were of us. Whenwe lost, I bought a boat, put a crew together, and got us some jobs. And, this is how we ended up here, on the raggedy edge." ~Jean Garret - Captain of the Bounty

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Ship Tech--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The ship in atmosphere is propelled by two rotating engines on the end of the "wings" of the ship. They operate like VTOL engines. During space travel, the rear engines are used as a photon reaction system that propels the ship at alarmingly fast rates. This particular model uses a Photon Accelerator to utilize the collisions with in the engine to gather the energy and redirect it to the engines and other parts of the ship. The core of the engine where these collisions take place spins to generate electrical energy for the other systems on the sip. The gravity is a system that is free of all other systems on the ship that operates entirely on its own as a fail-safe in case the engine were to fail. An unknown temporal element built into the lower deck creates artificial gravity that is offset by a planets gravity and ceases to work when on the planet's surface. This element that as previously mentioned was built into the lower deck, allows the gravity to extend to the upper decks with no noticeable change, while below the lower deck, the gravity is reversed, creating a figure-eight gravity field.

The Bounty also was outfitted with a shuttle but, the Bounty's was bought second hand with after market pats and shuttle. Said shuttle looks like this:

May change later in the story.

While the shuttle was purchased with the ship, Captain Garret had to go and purchase his own mule which looks like:

the one in the center is the one we use one

and it comes with a trailer of similar design and make to fit more cargo.

I'm 99.99% sure that your pistol is a "top break" single cartridge double action only smokeless cartridge gun llol meaning its a bitch to reload and you only got one bullet :-)

- - - Updated - - -

Ps that ship is badass!!!

[Seraphs Revenge]

Negative. It's built on (I think) a modified replica of a Colt. Six shot side break revolver. so it has six. Plus it's Mal's pistol so it actually has a magazine.

and thanks. it was one found on Deviant Art. really awesome artist.

SO! now that we have the beginings of the universe. Let's start working on an intro.

[Rinn]

sooo.... what happened? Is everyone here? May I suggest a show of hands (well... posts?)

[Seraphs Revenge]

That would be nice. And I would like everyone to help me come up with at least an intro....

[Artsydaze]

So, where should we start?

[Rinn]

maybe you could be inishing up a deal that didn't go so smoothly due to the lack of manpower on your ship? Preferibly on an inner planet?

[Seraphs Revenge]

Well I figured that it would be on an Inner Rim Planet never the less. But....A deal that went bad may be....a little too Firefly like. What if you were the client on this first job. and THEN it went bad because of lack of manpower?

[Rinn]

Well yes but u need a reason to be on the planet first right? Or maybe you are new to the whole thing right off the bat and just finished buying the ship and supplies?

[Seraphs Revenge]

Nope. Already mentioned that I've had the ship and the Crew for 3 years. What I meant is that, you have the job for me to be on the Planet to begin with.
