Firefly / Serenity

[Dark Light]

No overbearing complicated plot. No strict cannon law. No glitchy rule system.
Just 3-5 semi-skilled individuals, each with their own purpose, trying to make a living out in the black.

Just looking for some serious players, a reliable Co-Gm and them good ol' happy firefly feels.

If your interested please discuss it here :)
Thanks!

[RumikoOhara]

Oh how I hope this is a workable RP and how many have I seen fall

[Dark Light]

@RumikoOhara
Same same!

I think the key is finding the right ppl!

I've been thinking that each character should have a bit of depth and plot hooks so that small stories can grow that revolve around their past and interests.

Have you got/seen any good character sheets that would fit this?
(I'm kinda feeling too lazy to build one right now.)

[TheUnknowable]

I tried to start a Firefly RP, but couldn't get anyone to sign up. I'd love to join.

I'm thinking of a character modeled on Bendis.

@Dark Light@TheUnknowableI’d like to warn you that many people will seek to play River or a Twisted version of a Companion and I find those strange because the fact that Serenity had a Companion was a rarity and let’s face it River was basically a one off

@Dark Light

Wow that is some serious detail what Level is this RP going to be?

[TheUnknowable]

Yeah, that's why I think I'm going with a Kaylee/Bendis mix. It would be common enough took find a washed up ex motor pool browncoat that having one is believable.

[Themerlinhawk]

Never tried gaming in the 'verse but I've powerful penchant for brown coats. Consider me interested

[Raptor]

Well ain't this shiny! Very interested!

@RumikoOhara

I could allow a companion even though it's rarity but it would have to be a proper educated companion. Although rare it adds a certain dynamic to the group. However we would probably focus very little on their work.
But no River like characters for sure.

I would probably put this Rp under casual because I don't always expect massive posts but I would like some depth to them.

Since we got a bit of interest I might start looking up ships.

@Dark Light

Oh dear and here I am with the perfect Companion/Blue hands Assassin

[Themerlinhawk]

My suspicion is that I will be some sort of war vet. Simple but with enough room for back story and plot hooks. Maybe an ex ASO Soldier.

[RumikoOhara]

I'd love to Play a Character class I like to call a Quack

Normally such a title would refer to a bad doctor but in this case it means a Doctor who gained their skills in the war starting out as a Medic and because of necessity forcing her to push her skills to the limit and exposure to violence in desperate situations she became a trusted medical professional even though she’s never attended a day of medical school.

Now of course there are limits on her as well as bonuses and her Limit would be that she has no respect or standing in the medical professions and diseases are something she only has limited experiences with and those are only the type you encounter as a military doc such as Cholera and Dysentery other problems she’d need to read up on and only be as effective as an experienced nurse. Her bonus is in wounds because few have had her level of practical experience in encountering and her patient stand a better chance of survival even in primitive conditions that other doctors would find difficult achieve.

[RumikoOhara]

I know that was Babbling but it is late LOL

[Dark Light]

These are the main roles I would like filled,

• Pilot
• Mechanic
• Doctor/Medic (some level of fixing players up)

There are plenty more useful roles like Chef, technician, linguist, negotiator, ect.
But we need the others to fly (and live).

If it's alright with you guys I'll start on the OOC after I get a few character concepts.

I'm also thinking this is a brand new crew, first flight.
You may have known each other before.

Lastly... Who owns the ship? Joint investment? Single captain? Dual partnership? None of the above? Perhaps a silent partner that influences the jobs and takes commission/rent.

[Dark Light]

@RumikoOhara
:) sorry I missed your post because I was typing but yea sounds perfect.
Treating bullet wounds and broken bones = easy.
Diagnosing an illness or unusual condition = *shoulder shrug*
"But I thought you were a doctor?"

XD sounds like fun!
Maybe you can even seek out some assisting technology later.

@Dark Light

I like the Silent partner Idea and even then we still need a captain

Okay now to address the Character Sheet which I as a Table Top GM love but have found might turn away many RPG players in the guild beyond the Advanced threads

I love everything up till we reach Personality which often gives Out Of Character information about a character which their friends might know but people who have never met them would have to learn on their own; might I also add most players alter the personalities of their Character as play progresses so that in the end they barely resemble the initial draft.

The stats are lovely when you have a dice powered game but confuse a lot of guild members and add a mechanic that might slow the game play. I could see people being asked to rate their Primary to Weakest Stat...IE. Pilots and Gunfighters would prefer Agility over other stats, Brawlers Strength and so on. The weakest stats are the lovely little points where Grunts need Nerds and Nerds need Grunts.

Love Talents and would say that they only have two at the most though one might be best

The quirks are a nice addition but some are personal and might only be known to those that are familiar such as Phobias and Mental Issues. Deformities such as battle scars and such could be listed in the description

Sorry to be so critical but Please understand none of what I’ve pointed out is an area that I can’t deal with if it is your decision to use it all.

I am bored and filled with a need to write about anything.

[Themerlinhawk]

I'm fine with filling a captain role with my character or an XO, depends on if we get anyone elselse who wants the job
