Damn right! Such a good show! Did they ever fund a kickstarter or something to get a new season? If they haven't they should. I'd actually pay for that.
@FantasyChic They did and it had a lot of cash in it, sadly Fox still owns the rights to it and refuses to sell it. That's been the big issue. There was a loophole in the contract that allowed the movie Serenity to be made so we at least got some closure.
@Catchphrase We are and we aren't. I am always accepting new members to the RP but thing is because of the current set up to the Rp the roles available are limited. Now for the Vengeance (Browncoats), which is the Firefly Vessel on Whitefall lead by Captain Crowe, we are full there. There could be possibly worked in a new person there but they would have to not be a member of the crew and on Whitefall for another reason outside of why they are there. (Then I would have to work out the new character coming to the ship and being allowed on.)
Now, for the Retribution (Alliance), which is already in the Black and lead by Captain Quinn, we do have some NPC positions that could be taken over by an RPer with a PC - these are the current positions available - 1 Orderly in the Medical Bay, 1 Mechanic, 1 Culinary Specialist (Chef), 1 Gunner, & 3 Yeoman (Generic no-ones)
Alright peeps - time jump post coming today. Going to be making some rolls to see who gets what done when. Like will the Retribution get there before the Vengeance's repairs are complete. Will the Reavers get there before either? And so forth. There will be no LLA rolls to accompany the time jump, so you can breath a little easier but depending on the rolls some LLA rolls might end up being needed after the time jump. So brace yourselves people.
Okay, time jump posted - I put in a few details of over all things for the time skip, feel free to take a few liberties to build from it as to what your character has been up to over the last couple of days if you wish. Any questions, just hit me up.
If I tried really, really hard I could probably squeeze out a post for one of my characters before work, but as it stands I will wait to post until afterwards.
I just want to say, trying to read Jahosafat's section of the most recent post has me constantly distracted by the dance sequence happening right above it.
Alright peeps - we have a new comer to the group - @Catchphrase has been approved for the Rp via PM and will be joining the crew of the Retribution, taking over the NPC role for the Gunner with a PC. Once the CS is up, please read over it and work out any relations you all think might work between your character and the new one.
Right so here is my Character Sheet, big thanks to @Lady Amalthea for helping me with the BBCode

History
The Reason You Chose The Side You Did: He was born on a core world, so he was pretty much raised on Alliance propaganda and was told war stories by a few of the veterans who lived nearby. Plus he joined the Alliance to mainly travel and see other planets, and to get away from home and find a purpose in life. History: His early life is pretty much as average as it gets. Born into a conservative middle class family, an older brother and two younger sisters made him the middle child. As he got older and entered puberty, he noticed more and more that he liked the company of men over women. When he was 16 he told his family that he came out to his family. They pretty much rejected him, and so he left home and lived with friends. When he turned 18 he went and joined the Alliance.
As he was going through training, he found that he liked life as a soldier. There was structure, order and nobody seemed to care about a persons personal matters, so long as they did their job they were seen in a good light. After training, he and his unit mostly went on patrols of settlements on the Outer Rim, keeping the population in order and basically doing guard work. Then he saw his first taste of combat when the Outer Rim rebelled for the first time. He saw friend and foe alike, took lives and saved a couple. The things he saw and did still give him nightmares.
After the war was over, he decided that despite what he had seen and done, he would stay in the Alliance and serve. After a few years he was given a promotion and transfer to a new unit. He was given training as a turret gunner for a patrol ship and mostly saw no action. He was only recently transferred to The Retribution, but had heard stories of Quinn and the things that happened during the war.
Extras
Character Quote: "The victory decides who is good and who is evil." Theme Song: Too Old To Die Young-Brother Dege. Alliance Record: His record is clean as a whistle. Anything Else: He's a big animal lover. My favourite main character would have to be Mal. Though I do like the Badger character.
War of Galaxies: Henry was giving the sobbing man and his family some time to calm down and listen to him. If they were hysterical it may benefit his employer by making them make a decision while afraid, but calm people were less likely to act on emotion and think logically. Then he heard a noise from outside, and before he could even turn the entire building was lit up by weapons fire.
A round grazed Henry's side, but before anymore could hit him he dropped to 9 the floor as if he was dead. He didn't even throw up his hands to protect his face, which really hurt him when it made contact with the floor. He looked around and tried to take stock of the situation. The man and his family were all dead, they were already on the ground so whoever was shooting didn't have to compensate for them dropping to the floor to take cover. They just got chewed up. His men fared better, but not by much. Of the four that went in with him, two were wounded, one was hurt so badly not even doctors could save him if they could evac right then and there. And that was not an option.
His last man was quick to react. He ducked down behind a metal table and flipped it over. It barely held against the rain of fire being thrown at it, but it held none the less. The man took out his heavy pistol and fired back, shooting blindly over cover. He must of hit something, because a scream came from outside where the shooters were. It didn't sound like it came from any human throat, and if it was human. Henry shuddered at the thought.
Henry crawled towards a small ditch in the building. It wasn't a ditch really, more like a slightly lower part of the floor, but ut was the best cover he could get to without getting shot up. When he made it to the ditch, he drew his weapon and fired off a couple rounds. They were state of the art rounds, or at least state of the art years ago. The rounds buzzing over his hewd, those were state of the art. And yet the shooters weren't that great. Strange.
Henry looked around and saw another of his men go down. A round went through his skull. He was out of the game. The remaining two who could still fight were firing away. More screams were heard outside. But the weapons fire kept coming. Henry grabbed his radio and switched it on, hoping someone would hear him of the sound of fighting.
"EMERGENY! EMERGENCY! THIS IS DELTA TEAM OF CRIMSON BEAR SECURITY! WE ARE UNDER HEAVY FIRE FROM AN UNKNOWN ENEMY! THEY ARE USING UNKNOWN HARDWARE AND WE ALREADY HAVE CASUALTIES INCLUDING SOME CIVILIANS! IF YOU CAN HEAR THIS, SEND HELP TO MY LOCATION, IT IS BEING TRANSMITTED IN THIS MESSAGE! I AM SETTING THIS ON REPEAT, JUST SO YOU CAN'T IGNORE ME FOREVER! PLEASE HURRY!"
Henry rigged the radio to repeat and concentrated on firing back. If he was going to die, he wasn't going to lie down and do it quietly. He hoped somebody was listening to the radio. Otherwise the time to set it up was a waste.
*By submitting this CS in its completion I am stating I have read all the rules for this Rp and am agreeing to follow them to the fullest with respect and courtesy.
