WANTED


Mercenaries, hackers, technicians, pilots, guns-for-hire, and other skilled humans willing to do questionable work for major compensation. Food, water, oxygen, weapons, and a ship will be provided. Credits paid on per job completion. All applicants must undergo medical examination. Must be willing to leave allied territory and spend extended periods of time on spacecrafts. Contact J. Dreslor on Proxima Centauri Fuel Station if interested.


-----


PLOT


After answering an ad looking for a mercenary crew, you awaken on a mysterious ship headed for an unknown destination. Nearly all of your memories have been erased. All you can remember is your name and a few personal details about yourself, your skill set, and that you have a job to do when you reach your unknown destination.

SETTING

The year is 2273. Mankind long ago leapt into space and expanded into the cosmos thanks to faster then light travel. But humanity isn't alone in the galaxy. A multitude of species inhabit the Milky Way. Some are friendly, some dangerous, and some are just hungry. New species though aren't the only danger though. Corporations that stretch several solar systems and control vast amounts of resources also are out there. They hire pirates and mercenaries to do their (illicit) bidding and fight both among themselves and with other species.

***Note: Because of your memory wipe, and to add a sense of unknown and mystery, this is all the information your characters know/remember about the galaxy and galactic affairs.***

-----


GALACTIPEDIA


ALL CONTENTS ERASED


***As you explore and the RP goes on this section will begin getting entries about races, planets, alliances, corporations, and other interesting information.***

-----


Because of the amount of interest shown in the Interest Check, I will be doing a first come first serve. The first five people to complete the CS below and post it here (in OOC) will be the crew.

Gender: Female

Age: 28

Role: Pilot, Mechanic, Hacker, General Tech Expert

Appearance: Rain isn't a particularly imposing figure- quite the opposite in fact, standing a little below average at 5'2". Se has a slim frame, with little notable muscle mass or fat, but she carries himself confidently to compensate. Her skin is a pale white- she's typically cooped up in a cockpit, so she doesn't get a whole lot of sun. Her face is plain, not notably pretty, made unique by a generous sprinkling of freckles that gives her a girlish appearance. His hair is auburn, falling messily over her forehead and tumbling down to to the top of her back. Her hair tends to get in the way while working so while on-duty it's typically kept in a neat ponytail. Her smile is one of the few features that makes her stand out- straight and wide with no crooked teeth, seemingly perpetually placed on her face. This combined with her eyes, a striking and deep green often likened to a forest, save her otherwise plain appearance appearance. On the subject of her eyes Rain requires glasses to read clearly, or text tends to blur together. Rain's overall a pretty girl, more of a girl next door pretty then supermodel pretty, but she gets by alright. After all, it's what's on the inside that counts, right?

Skills/Abilities: Rain likes boasts that she's the best pilot in the universe, and while the truth behind this statement is certainly uncertain she is undoubtedly a very highly skilled pilot, and is certainly counted among the very best. She could probably at one time have boasted many accomplishments in the field of space battle, but has forgotten that along with everything else. Despite her lack of memory she's incredibly confident in her skills and the one you want in the cockpit in a tough situation.

Besides her skills as a pilot she's a highly competent engineer. She knows how to fix her ships as well as she knows how to fly them. Her engineering skills of course don't apply only to ships- she's handy with tools and is very knowledgeable when it comes to mechanics. She can fix almost anything with the right tools, assuming it isn't completely destroyed, and displays high knowledge of cutting edge technologies. Besides her skills in mechanics she's also a highly skilled hacker and programmer, able to break into most systems.

However her skills with technology is offset by her complete hopelessness in martial skill. She's almost barely passing with a pistol and probably couldn't even think to look at any sort of bigger gun. She's clumsy in a fist fight and even clumsier in a gunfight. Rain's help should not be counted on in a combat situation, and she's like to need protecting.

Personality: Rain is an easy girl to get along with. She's very easygoing, friendly, and charismatic. She's quick to crack a joke and is a master of sarcasm. Sometimes this friendliness can be seen as excessive by those who's personalities don't quite meld with hers, and her refusal to act seriously can be grating. Her smile rarely fades and she's an eternal optimist, refusing to let the bad things overtake her. To her friends she's loyal, and to those who don't like her she's forgiving. She has problems approaching situations objectively and tends to let her first gut emotion guide her, which sometimes lands her in trouble. Despite her goofy exterior Rain is very smart- she is a highly skilled engineer and hacker after all, and such skills don't come without a great degree of intelligence. During the rare instances where Rain does get serious she is capable of great focus and will work hard to achieve what she has set her mind to, although that rarely happens.

Well, this certainly seems interesting, think I'll go and toss my hat in, eh?




Name: Jericho Cross

Gender: Male

Age: 37

Char. Type/Role:
Bounty Hunter

Appearance:


Skills/Abilities: Rather unsurprisingly, Jericho is a dead accurate shot with his highly tooled pistol, something that probably saved the man's life more times than he could have counted. Most weapons, in general, have crossed into his use at one point or another, and he has a rather impressive grasp on combat and tactics, beyond being able to pick up most weapons and make use of them rather readily. Outside of a fight, Jericho is a natural tracker of both sentient and nonsentient species, especially those that he has crossed paths with before. He is also an armorer, capable of maintaining most weapons and armors, since there isn't much time for him to rely on others to patch his gear. Outside of walking, or running, most complicated vehicles are outside of his range of skills, and pray to whatever god you believe in he isn't the only hands available to patch someone up, since it will likely not end well for them. Unless he is burning a wound shut with a smoking barrel anything more complicated than that is answered by hard boozing and a hardy constitution. Needless to say, most medical professionals hate him.

Personality: Jericho Cross is a wary individual, who trusts slowly and is even quicker to abandon any hard earned trust he might have had in someone or something, only willing to usually trust what his own two eyes see, and what his gun can do for him. Jericho does not joke and takes a situation deadly serious, and often times either ignores jokes going over his head, or completely fails to register they were jokes to begin with. Jericho keeps a tight lock on his feelings, and as such typically has a real hard time interacting with people outside dragging them to be turned in for his payment. Needless to say, he isn't very popular. As such, he often drinks, heavily, when off duty, to the point that most of his paycheck, that isn't towards maintaining gear, is towards booze, often times drinking his meals rather than eating them. Get him drunk enough and he'll reach some semblance of an approachable human being, right up until he smashes the empty bottle over someone's head. So not really approachable at all, he hid a lot under this exterior but since he can't remember what now, thanks to the memory wipe, he tends to get angry when its brought up, or violent if drunk when its brought up. But he can be relied on in a bad situation to be himself, untrusting and ready to act to see a job done.

Watching this with keen interest. Unfortunately I don't think I'm ready to submit a character just yet. But hopefully a little later down the track an opening might happen.

Side note: Nice to see characters that are older than 20 for a change lol...

Sorry it's a bit skimpy, I'm exceptionally tired as I write this. I'll try to flesh him out in the RP.

@Diggerton@Eisenhorn@Nevix Everything looks good with your characters.

@Pie Flavor Yours looks good, just don't go overboard with the profiler tool. I appreciate that you've built in limits with it. As long as I don't feel it becomes overused/overpowered I'm fine with it.

Alright, we've got one spot left! Next good looking CS gets it then we can start the IC.

I think in the interest of diversity I'm going to make a few tweaks, make my character female and give her some hacking skill to round her out.

Edits are done- everything is still the same besides her gender and some tweaks in her skill sections. Obviously her appearance has changed a bit, as a disheveled women with a beard would be a scary sight.

I guess that means we're full then. I'll get working on the first IC post and should have it up in an hour or show. I'm also working on drawing up a rough map of the ship to give everyone an idea of the ship's layout.

Alright, the first IC post is up! Feel free to respond and interact with each other. The RP/first mission will fully start though once everyone gets to the bridge. Hopefully by then I'll also have a ship map ready.

Also of note, please post your characters to the CHARACTERS tab, preferably outside of a hider tab. When you do so, please add a section to your CS called 'Gear' and list what kinds of weapons, tools, armor, etc your character will have brought with them.

Also @Nevix could you please take your character sheet out of the header in the CHARACTER tab and add the gear section to it.

Newest IC is up! Feel free to ask questions IC about the mission and such, or here OOC about the map. Also please let me know if I forgot something vital. I'm going to begin responding more to your individual posts to answer questions and describe the environment.

As a note, please customize your personal rooms as you wish. We will be playing this as if your character decorated the rooms before having your memory wiped.

I described the armoury in my post, I'll change it if there's anything that seems wrong to you. I also asked ANDI a question.
