In the year 2030 the lonely isolate planet of Earth sent its first brave men and women to Mars. 30 years later, the United Nations sent another crew to the Red Planet to start colonizing... This was the birth of human space travel. It took them another hundred years to travel farther, and eventually in the year 2338 Earth finally found the secret for galactic travel. So Earth embarked on the greatest expedition it has ever devised. Their search for Extra-Terrestrial life didn't take long, as they were soon contacted. The Human race soon encountered an organization called the Galactic Committee. The Committee consisted of different species from different planets that served under their set of laws to keep peace within the Galaxy. It didn't take long for humans to add their influence, as they had the first Human diplomat inducted into the Committee only 20 years later.

120 years after the humans joined the Committee there have been much more treaties, agreements, and prosperity. Humans now have allies, and have been exchanging technology, it was the Human's Golden Age. But, like every civilization, there is not total peace and order. There are some alien races that have not accepted the Committee's treaties and keep to themselves, other races have become intergalactic pirates. Planets and species will have their civil wars, diplomats will disagree, and crime is everywhere, like every colony.

At this time there was also a dropped rate in stellar exploration. The idea of going out into the unknown, charting and exploring new territories and recording them was exciting for the young and curious. When more and more expedition teams started disappearing, that idea quickly died out. The farther out Explorers went from the known galaxy, the darker and deadlier it became in any direction. The harsh reality was that even though this was a Golden Age, there was always crime and corruption.

The amount of volunteers to go out and explore plummeted. In desperation the Galactic Committee formed a new law: Any criminal found guilty could be charged of their crime... Or, they could sign up to be in the Expedition Force for the Galactic Committee. Many of the criminals who signed up to explore the galaxy died within weeks by either attempted mutiny, pirate raids, or other complications... But there is one team lead by a notorious criminal that has survived much longer than anyone ever has, and has been known to defuse galactic tension.

They are called The Marauders. The crew is mostly composed of criminals, but some of the Galaxy's best have joined the infamous group to help better the galaxy, or for the thrill of adventure. Many crew members have come and gone (mostly by death), but the commander and captain of the Marauder's has survived through everything the Marauders have gone against.

The Golden Age is going strong, and mostly due to the work of the Marauders. Do you have what it takes to become a member?

BEFORE YOU APPLY FOR A POSITION, CHECK THE MARAUDERS TAB TO SEE IF ITS ALREADY TAKEN

LORE:









RULES:

1) Although I classified the five major species in the Galaxy, you don't have to be those five! You can make your own race of alien, you just have to run it by me before! And don't make it a "god race" where it is perfect and nothing can harm/kill it!

2) This RP is going to really be story driven! So please no simple sentences for posts! I prefer quality over quantity, but "He went into the room" is not a good way to keep the story going!

3) Don't be mean to each other! Respect is important here! So if you have a problem with someone, either talk it out in a PM or let me or the Co-GM's know so they can handle it as well!

4) This will have a ton of different elements in it! Romance, action, humor, adventure, drama, and more! So this isn't for the young kiddos out there! haha

5) Due to difficulties in the past, there won't be anyone with the same team position, so no Co-Doctor, pilot, etc. It limits what certain people do and how they interact with the rest of the crew.

6) SOME JOBS WILL BE MORE ACTIVE THAN OTHERS! Please keep that in mind when taking a job like "Interpreter" will be less involved in certain situations than others. It's not because no one likes you. But if you're committed, and talk to the Co/GM then i promise no one will be left out!

7) We would really like committed people to join this, people who will stick with this, because it makes it more fun for everyone! But if anything happens, or you have to leave, please let us know, it'll help the transitions

8)There will be times in the RP where we will go to stop at a port or at the Spire, this will be the time when people can leave the RP, or join, me and the Co-GM will keep everyone updated when that happens

9) If you have any questions regarding the RP me and the Co-GM's are more than willing to help out in any way!

10) if you are going to be gone for a certain amount of time, please tell us before hand! Also little status updates are helpful too! It shows us who is still interested and wants to keep moving on, or of something got in the way of you posting!

11) Until we know how many people are going to be in this RP, please limit yourself to one character Unless you talk to me or the Co-GM

AKA: optional

Race: Human, Tu'Veeri, Yhei, etc. can make up your own

Role in Team?: Marauder only. Examples are Doctor, Mechanic, Pilot, Guns expert, etc.
Bio: Doesnt have to be long.
Personality:
Weapon(s) : optional
Star-fighter?: The Monroe is large enough to hold one-person fighter ships known as Star-Fighters, to anyone experienced enough to fly in combat. This is OPTIONAL, but if you would like to add one, insert an image, or description of what it looks like! On a side note, if your role on the team wouldn't really need one, you probably won't use it haha

Other:

--------------

Name: Raymond Chase

AKA: Ray, Cap, Atlas, The Marauder

Age: 27

Race: Human

Appearance:


Faction: Marauder

Role in Team?: Leader, Ace fighter pilot, and his military experience has also made him a jack of all trades.

Bio:


Personality: Contrary to many criminal stereotypes, Ray is Noble, Brave, and headstrong. He can be a smartass, especially to the Committee. He hides his past with jokes and sarcasm, and he takes his role as the leader very seriously. Extremely loyal to all his crew mates, and has a very strong sense of protection-- especially towards children and mothers. Ever since he lost his squad when he served in the committee he feels like every casualty taken on his crew is solely his fault, and it wears him down no matter how well he hides it.

Weapon(s) : An old Colt Revolver that has been modified to shoot elemental bullets. It has been in the Chase family for a very long time. Raymond also has a combat glove, the knuckles are equipped with G-force technology, when it makes contact with an opponent it sends a mach-speed punch, producing a large bass-y boom as well. The glove also is able to produce an electric whip that can expand up to ten feet.

Star-Fighter:


Family/Relationship?: Has a strong and complicated relationship with the Monroe's Doctor, Luirae Driani. They have known each other ever since the two joined, she's the only one who knows the true story of what happened to Raymond. Although most of the crew notices Ray's attraction to the doctor, his past and his sentence keeps him from saying anything to anyone.

Other: Has a scar on his upper lip from his step father, and due to his military days whenever he stands still for too long his left hand starts to shake.

For being on "The Rock", Raymond has a nasty "M" that was burned into his skin on the side of his neck, the mark of a murderer.

Name: Luirae Driani
AKA: Rae
Age: 25
Race: Cristallum
Appearance: http://fav.me/d5bbiav
(The crystal markings on her body are as soft as skin but in time of danger it hardens to become more of a natural armor)
Faction: Marauder, Bounty Hunter, Galactic Committee Volunteer
Role in Team?: Doctor/Medic
Bio: Rae was born on the planet of Pluvia, a world covered in ice and snow, a vast wasteland of endless white and jutted glaciers at first look. If you were trapped there, it would hold nothing but blizzards and large blocks of hail that fall from a never ending storm. The clouds only clear once every year, letting the two moons circling her home planet to shine through and light up the snow causing something special to happen. Glowing flowers called Farafell bloom, only lasting one night but it is the only time her people see the surface and sky of their home though it is not because of the frigid temperatures but because it is more pleasant to live by other means. You see, her planets true home is actually on the inside. They live in various tunnels that connect to different caves, each one very uniquely different from the last but most are covered with lush strange plant life and animals adapted to the land above as well as below. The only source of light they have are certain bugs as well as spores that the trees released at certain times every day.
The Cristallum don't keep their children past the age of 4 so most parents aren't attached to their children or share a bond. It is for this reason that Rae finds it a strange concept to have people support her or be there for her since she is not use to it from her own kind. The Cristallum species chooses your job and then you are trained till you are of age to do the job assigned. It is all very official and not a lot of emotion is put into things but that is just their way. They are not mean or cruel, just to logical and try to be kind to all they meet (which is not many) unless they are given reason to attack. Not many of her race ever leave home since it is almost impossible for flight, in or out and everyone always has a place to belong which never gives them reason to want to leave. Rae felt she could be more and do more than what she was ordered so she took her chances, leaving on the one day when the sky was clear....the festival of the blooming Farafell.
It wasn't long before she took on a job to be a bounty hunter when a officer of the law saw her defend herself from a being almost five times her size. It wasn't the perfect job and not really one she enjoyed but at least it was something since she was starting from scratch. After a few years on the job Rae was starting to feel stuck in one spot again and it was miserable to be catching people only to have them being put who knows where. Instead she switched to focusing on medicine, wanting to be able to help people and even save them. Being a bounty hunter meant always being alone which didn't pull her out of her quiet shell and lack of understanding seemed to put her in more trouble with others so the change in her life had brought about more than just her happiness but taught Rae about things she couldn't learn in class. Going to school and being around so many people where communication was necessary made her build confidence and allowed her to understand some emotions and things such as friendship though she was still lacking in many areas, at least she was more aware about the worry of upsetting others. After graduating early, she joined the Galactic Committee as a volunteer so she could explore the universe and they assigned her to the Monroe,choosing to a certain extent who would be on it . Most would think her crazy, wishing to be on a ship of criminals and sent on suicide missions but to her it is the most rewarding job. She joined for her own reasons but stayed so she could help everyone on the ship even though she works for the Committee technically, her loyalty is not to them. She would never want to restrict the Marauders or write reports about every little thing they do. She wants to make sure they live on.
Personality: She isn't one to back down from a challenge and always puts her heart in everything she does. Rae can be stubborn,rash, and blunt but she is also kind and if you are lucky enough to get close to her, then she has unbreakable loyalty. She is the kind of person that would give up her life if it meant protecting others. Sometimes she can be oblivious to certain things or doesn't understand certain types of emotions but it is only because of her background where their wasn't much emotions.
Weapon(s) : Elemental dual pistols or special bow/arrows. The bow has a specially made string that can contracts into the middle when a certain button is pressed. It activates a magnet to keep the metal holder for the old string in place before activating a high powered lazer as the "new" string.
Family/Relationship?:
  • Has a strong relationship to the Captain of the ship. She isn't sure what kind of relationship but she respects him and he has her loyalty.

Other: Her eyes have the unique trait to look through the body of others if she so chooses and see straight to the bone, organs, muscles or tendons depending on what she prefers to see. This is one of the reason she was a bounty hunter seeing as how this little gift gave her the edge of having perfect accuracy to knock out her opponent or get the upper hand in battle but on the brighter side it helps her be the good doctor she is. (She can only look through bodies, everything else appears black or dark in this mode of vision)
Rae can also regenerate but only superficial wounds will be healed rapidly. The more she has to grow back the longer it takes and not everything can be fixed if destoryed which can lead to her death. If she were to cut off a finger it would take a few weeks to grow back and cut off an arm it would take years.
Has a love for plants of all kinds but usually only keeps medically helpful ones around.
Plays music here and there. Most say the instrument sounds like an electric violin, whatever that is.Pic of instrument

I'm not exactly confident in these guys, but it's all I could squeeze out today. If I could get some feedback I might be able to refine them into something more satisfactory.

I like the ideas, they remind me of the Tu'Veeri a little bit haha

The only thing that concerns me is that their weapons tend to explode... which wouldn't be too good in a closed environment like a ship XD

But if you're wanting to add stuff, or refine things, I'd add a general histoy of the race, like if there's been any wars on the planet for their politics to change, if they've always been focused on mining, things like that! Also kinda what the race does outside of their homeplanet and what they do in space or the galactic committee?

These are just some ideas, the Varg look good so far!

The weapon problem solves itself since I'm planing on my guy to be a geologist, since we are exploring stuff like planets and random rocks in space I'd think that a guy who knows his way around nearly any mineral, metal, and rock we find would be helpful. Plus the idea of a giant, intimidating, cyborg who isn't a badass one man army to be pretty fun. In a pinch, he'll just use a mining laser or space age pickaxe.

Added/edited a bit from last time. Decided to stick with the name since the other two options have a use in this universe.

EDIT: I was going to add a hazmat combat mech to the 'spacecraft' section, but it seemed like a bit much.

EDIT2: The clothing bit of Kaite's appearance won't be relevant since 'in disguise' has him dressed like a 1920s paperboy with the flat-cap folding his ears back and scarf covering what the eyepatch doesn't. I assume we're starting at The Spire, picking up newcomers...and offloading ne'er-do-wells?

Idk...

Welcome back, and its good to see ya again! Welcome Aboard!!

@Pathfinder

If that's the case, we'll do our best to make sure your position on the team isn't wasted. this is an expedition crew after all, so a geologist would come in handy!

That's what 2.5 years of 16-hour school days 7-days a week does.
Kaite is mostly confused why he stirs the spaghetti sauce, but does so anyway, like a good little soldier.

Great to be back and awesome to see ya guys and the thread, again! :D

EDIT: I just remembered that I forgot to mention that thing about being deathly afraid of robots of any shape and size.

I added a history, tweaked Warpstone to only be explosive and unreliable when it's improperly refined (which it usually is since it's cheaper), and I think they are ready to go.

Name: Jackal Westari
AKA: Wyrm
Age: 137
Race: Gorgas



Appearance:
Though massive to others, Jackal is a runt of his litter, standing only at 9'5" he is well under the 12 foot average of his kin.
Jackal weighs 850 pounds. His scales are a cobalt blue with a white belly, and eyes are a shining yellow. He has three horns, a small horn on the snout and two horns facing from the back of his skull.

Faction: Marauder
Role in Team?: Muscle
Bio: Jackal, being a runt, had a hard time competing with his kin of his tribe. For his century-long childhood he had dealt with bullies, monsters, and the occasional tribal warfare. He survived it all, though, despite the odds. Not finding any peace home, he took the opportunity to leave his planet when he stumbled upon a group of bounty hunters that had been stranded on the planet. Offering assistance in exchange for a ticket to the outside world, Jackal left his home world at the age of 115, and in trying to adapt to the unfamiliar alien worlds and distant stars he tried to make a name for himself as a mercenary. Mostly doing fairly easy jobs though (Who in the right mind would hire him for some dangerous mission if he couldn't hold a gun?), things hadn't gone as planned. Trying to fit in with the numerous amounts of unfamiliar creatures and their customs was another trial he has yet to fully overcome. He Joined the Mauraders in hopes of turning his lackluster career into something more, looking forward to the experience it will give him even if this isn't a permanent stay.

Personality: Previously a warrior of his tribe, Jackal holds a title of honor and pride when it comes to certain things. He has a difficulty speaking, and thus stays quiet most of the time as he is embarrassed of his dialect. Speaking only when necessary, he has a difficulty catching onto jokes, sarcasm, and other quips. He also has a tendency to eat the flesh of other creatures or races, as it is a part of his culture (especially for a defeated foe) to honor the dead by eating the body. Of course, like others of his kin he has a sort of cravings for such sustenance, and has a sort of hobby to be able to have consumed the flesh from one of every sentient race he comes across. While a bit of an oddball, his morality is still held (albeit with strange customs) on an overall good conscience. He values the ideas of kinship and brethren closely, those he has the pleasure to work with are always considered brothers.

Weapon(s) : A handcrafted iron sword, with a leather grip. An iron encrusted sheild that can attatch to the wrist.

Star-fighter?: N/A
Family/Relationship?: N/A

OH! Its been a while since the Endless Halls.
Hey you. :P

Also, a willing attendant on the Monroe is a bit strange. It looks like it mostly checks out, but that bit is for the GMs.
Weapon-wise, I'm sure larger alien races may have developed armaments for a creature of Jackal's size. However, those races have yet to be presented...so I guess you hold the title for largest alien race!
:D

I can't find a gif of the insurance lady from 'Let It Die' saying "congratulations!"...
