Premise


Mr. Universe said nothing can stop the signal. He was right. The recordings from what happened on Miranda were sent out and flooded the 'Verse. Everyone knew now. They knew of the Pax, how it destroyed so many lives, how it created the Reavers, how the Alliance was behind it. We now have seen what a world without Sin truly looked like. It was anything but the paradise that some had hoped for. Nothing can stop the signal.

It has been three years since the crew of Serenity sent out the signal and lost several of their own in the fight to do so. A new war has broken out, the Browncoats had pulled back together to stop the Alliance with more fervor than ever. They have more behind them than ever and even more opposing them. Many of the population has rioted against the Alliance for what they have done, a veil pulled off from over their eyes to see the truth. Yet some still cling to what the Alliance feeds them.

The crew of Serenity is still out there, somewhere, but do not be concerned about them. Right now, your job is to chose a side and to survive.



Overview

Setting: The 'Verse
Time Frame: 3 years after Miranda's fate was broadcast
Rp Tags: Sci-fi, Fandom, Space Western, High Casual, Large Group, Character Driven, Military, Slice-Of-Life
Type Of RP: A Twist on the Firefly Fandom set at the beginning of a new war that has broken out between the Browncoats and the Alliance.

We started out in two divisions; The Alliance (The Retribution) and The Browncoats (The Vengeance) but things have changed. The Vengeance went down but she didn't stay down. The crew that remained took over the Alliance vessel the Retribution, Anisa Crowe is now captain. Quinn is dead. But that doesn't mean things are unified.

The Alliance was made up of the rich and powerful, those that are fighting for unification still to this day. They will do anything to stop the signal and to put an end to the Independents known as Browncoats once and for all. People in the Alliance have lived privileged lives. Never having gone hungry. They are highly educated in their fields and some can be quite ruthless in their tactics.

The Crew Of Vengeance were a mixed bunch. Most were Browncoats, some fought in the previous war. All are smugglers at this point no matter what brought them onto the ship. Most will have a record with the Alliance and be targets; though a handful may not. This crew has been together and took over much of Serenity's known stopping points after Miranda was released. A rag tag group of people that some are not sure they want to be part of this war or not yet, but they stuck together because Vengeance was home.

Yet now, they are combined onto one Ship known as the Prometheus. Captain Crowe is in charge but some might wonder just how long that will be and if the crew will remain together. There is a chance that while new comers are coming aboard, old faces might go their separate ways.

War is raging on many of the planets. The Rim planets are nearly over run with a sudden rise in the Reaver Population. People are fighting to stay alive or to die before the Reavers get them. The Border planets are constantly either under attack by the Alliance because they rebelled or switching sides so quickly no one knows where they stand. The Core has even broken out in war and rebellion this time. Many of the planets wanting to break free of the Alliances control, while others are standing strong and refusing to leave; fighting for unification and providing much of the Alliances weapons and military force.

What will happen is up to you. How you react to the situations, what information you can gather for what ever side you are playing for, what goods and services you can get together. Thing is, even though a war is ragging, you still have to survive life itself. Even if you are in a zone where it is peaceful low food, fuel and supply stocks are constantly plaguing the Browncoats. The Alliance is not without problem either; with the sudden shift of some people you never know who you can trust; your best friend, your wife, could suddenly turn on you. High ranking Alliance members are dropping like flies and no one knows who is doing the killing yet.

Now, get your shit together and let's get moving. The 'Verse is counting on you.

Considering changing to Vengeance Mechanic (since there's no equal position on the Alliance side). I'll be working on/completing a CS on Monday.

Also what's the rule about being a Reader? Could you be one of the classes AND be a Reader or would that fall into Other?

@FantasyChic A reader would be considered a River type class and are not allowed with this RP as per the rules listed in the original OOC. Only skills allowed are the ones listed in the linked page above the CS coding.

Can I ask a question? About character images, do you wish us to have a faceclaim? I ask because I know some sheets require you to put more pictures of your character as the sheet goes on, and I found a picture I really like for my character, but I can only find one of her (she isn't a celebrity). Just wondering.

@FantasyChic Okay, a few things with the CS. The skills, they have to be ones listed in the skill list. Like Culture isn't on the list, neither is Love Play. Now Psych is but it is a specialised skill. So to have it you would have to have Social Sciences listed under General and then Psych under Speciality. A lot of the skills you have listed just aren't on the available list. Need to go back on those and rework it.

Also, under the characters Psychology, there isn't anything really negative. All characters, or people, in general have things that are bad about them. I suppose on how you look at it delicate and extravagant could be taken as negative but see about trading one of positive ones out in the top for something a bit more tangible. Now that doesn't mean she would lose a positive trait, that can still be in the personality paragraphs.

Also, did you want her to be like Inara in the fact she rents one of the personal shuttles? If so, you will want to make sure that she has the skill listed to pilot it.

With relations, don't worry. You are right to wait on those since each one you would work it out with the other player. (Example Pundii and I spoke about our characters history's and working it in together to have them know each other from their home worlds.)

@Lady Amalthea, I'm not entirely clear on one thing about the skill list. Engineer is a specialty skill with its own set of subdivisions, but Mechanic lacks the specialties yet says it's the same as Engineering. Would it be fair then to say that mechanic is a reactive skill allowing characters to fix broken objects whereas engineering would be proactive allowing characters to devise and completely create new devices given the proper materials?

@Lord Wraith Mechanic Specialties would be the same as the Engineering Specialties just as you stated Engineering is creating new devices or upgrading them while mechanics would be fixing. Think of it as the difference between an Architect and a Carpenter. The architect would design the building, the carpenter would build it.

@Lady Amalthea oh I must have missed the skill list there, my bad ill work on it. Also the last three traits I put were under negative traits when I googled it, but I can rework it. And I'll add the pilot skill when I redo the skills.
