Appearance:
Lanky would be a good word to describe her. She has very little figure, and a sinewy muscled form. Her skin is littered with nearing at least a hundred scars from her refusal to wear any type of armor(and clothes). She can't stand tight clothes and usually wears loose or at least fitted clothes that reveal a mass of scars from battles previously won. She isn't particularly pretty, though she has a regal face.

Name: Telasie Banthur
Race: Denar (Elfish)
Age: 39
Gender: Female

Job: Pilot(Can be reworked if necessary)
Weapons: Though she prefers a dagger and her knuckles, she carries an old-world styled plasma pistol. She also keeps her nails sharpened to points, metal plates surgically placed over them.

Abilities: She has an inherent directional talent and fast flying. She's not strong, but she has a wiry-agility based strength that is useful in close combat against larger opponents. She has an unusually high pain tolerance. Lack of morality.

Personality: Vulgar. Bitter. Resentful. She doesn't have a very kind outlook on life, and is incredibly greedy. Her lack of interpersonal skills can often get in the way of her goals. She cares little for the opinion of others and thinks only of her own comfort, most of the time. Still, despite her personality, she's occasionally philosophical and can provide good conversation if she thinks the person is worth talking to.

Bio:
She grew up in an old-world port town on Earth in Northern Britannia, a mass of land once called Europe. It was a cross between traditional transportation on land, with a naval base for sea travel, an air base for minor flight, and a station for space travel. In school, she studied piloting. Her dream had been to pilot an exploration space ship.

Telasie had a regular childhood, but when she turned twenty she settled down with a human man. He only lasted two years before, in a fit of anger, she slit his throat and was locked up for murder. After a lengthy court trial and a lot of favors cashed in, the chargers were dropped to manslaughter and she was released after five years in prison. She took to thieving to pay the bills, until she got in with a group of gangsters who used her piloting skills to get her to smuggle drugs and people between galaxies. She is renown for her speed.

I mean....what's the appeal on becoming a privateer? You're like mercenaries payed by the government. Hell, the Rp's title was "Space Pirates". Why would anyone come here wishing to be a privateer is beyond me...

Appearance: With Armor Without

Name: William Snow
Alias: The Sentinel
Race: Human
Age: 30
Gender: Male

Job: Boarding Party

Personality: Most people say that William was born in the wrong generation, he is obsessed with honor and chivalry and honesty, even if it screws himself over, he is also incredibly kind and empathetic, he is a bleeding heart. he is also very calm and collected and is very optimistic, he is a master with a sword but can't hit the broadside of a barn with a gun.

short bio: William Snow was born to a Whore and a Scotsman, however his wonderful mother threw him in a dumpster and expected him to die, but however a insane one-eyed homeless man named Fred found him and took care of him, Fred claimed he used to be the Emperor of Brittania and was also obsessed with honor and chivalry.
But one day a disease came by and infected both William and the Homeless man, without any lack of medical care they were screwed, but William got better but Fred went quick, before Fred died, William claimed that he would reclaim the Empire Fred might have owned and stolen a suit of armor and a sword from some brittanian soldiers, then joined the pirates in order to escape being arrested.

I'll have to say pirates as well. It just seems like it could be much more fun.

In the words of Long John Silver from Muppets' Treasure Island:

"Now take Sir Francis Drake, The Spanish all despise him, but to the British, he's a hero, and they idolize him."

This is just my personal opinion, but aside from the fact that Kiwiwiwi basically called this RP Space Pirates, but actually made them Privateers and the others decided to role with it, I think it's because Privateers seem akin to having your cake and eating it too. You get to be a pirate, do all the pirate things that regular Pirates do, but you also have the support, and backing of the Government at your side to do it with...at the cost of basically following orders and likely being mocked/hated by the REAL pirates. As Kessir already pointed out: It's basically like being the Suicide Squad of Sci-fi.

But again, that's just why I think there's appeal.

I'll have to say pirates as well. It just seems like it could be much more fun.


And so we now have a Tie. Fortunately, I was prepared for this occasion: I talked with the looming friend of mine last night and asked him which he would rather be in the RP...

...He said Pirate.

So the Final Score: Privateer 3, Pirate 4.

Pirates win.

I'm making the OOC now, though due to this vote essentially changing up what was originally planned by Kiwiwiwi, the posting of it might take a little while longer. I apologize, and would appreciate your patience. ^_^

IT seems I shall take a little longer. As the veterans of Kiwiwiwi's version already knows, he only mentioned one planet amidst a galactic empire, so one of my first things is to expand that. Thanks to that same friend of mine that broke the tie, I have an effective way to make star systems for this Galactic Empire.

But the problem is that it'll take a while, WAY too long, if I focus them all at once. So for now, I'm going to just focus on two or three of them, then consider the others a Work in Progress for now.

Here is my CS

Appearance:



Name: Scrap
Race: Human
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Job: Engineer
Weapons: Different types of gadgets that she builds that can be used as a weapon or defense. Her mechanical arm and leg can shoot out hot steam (mainly used as a last ditch effort) by turning the valves
Abilities:
Mechanical Engineering: She can fix and build prosthetics, gadgets, robots (to some extent) and has some knowledge on other technologies.
Street Fighting: Days within the gang didn’t leave her defenseless, she has some tricks up her sleeve when it comes to melee combat
Resourcefulness: Her fast thinking and street knowledge helps her get out of dangerous situations.

Personality: Mind of her own. Scrap doesn’t do well to authority but does whatever job you give her with little complaint. Opening up and trusting others comes by as a challenge. Trusting herself is all she’s ever known. Growing up in the slums and at the heart of gang violence taught her to be resourceful, but she lacks social skills. Keeps to herself but doesn’t take too kindly to those who are obnoxious or rude. Since she's also very young, she still has much to learn and is still ignorant/oblivious to this new world outside the slums
Bio: An orphaned street rat, at the age of 8, she was forced into the gang: The Junkyard Ravagers. They taught her how to fix and build mechanical prosthetics, since many members lost arms and legs to rival gang fights. Here they called her “Scrap” and it was the first and only name she’s ever had. For a while she could call the junkyards home, but it wouldn’t last. At the age of 12, an explosion at the junkyard set by a rival gang caused her to lose an arm and a leg. But you don’t leave the gang unless you’re dead. They forced her to keep working, expanding her skill set to build them lethal gadgets. She ended up building her own prosthetics since no one else would. From this point on it was when she learned that the junkyard was no home, but a prison. One day a gruesome fight with the rival gang leaves an opportunity to escape. So, after escaping the clutches of the Junkyard Ravagers, she finds herself lost. It isn’t until she stumbles upon a request to join a pirate crew did she jump at the chance to leave the slums behind.

Already PMed with @The Jest, who liked this, but for the sake of formality and convenience, I will put my Char here (slightly altered from original RP to include weapon/ability info)



Also, for the matter that this is a Piracy RP and not a Privateer as determined by OP I offer a funny joke I heard.
