SPACE PIRATES!

Hi, kiwiwiwi here, you may think I am a newbie to RPG but I'm actually an oldie here so I know my stuff, I forgot my password, lol. Anyway, I've co gmed many a roleplay but never done one myself, this idea has been in my mind for the past year and is open to change as within that year I have not developed on the plot at all. Here is the plot so far...

VVV

Plot

Dark matter bar

In the year 2120, the holy britannian empire has outstretched its arms and has colonised many worlds, you live on the industrial planet "Lancelot prime", breathing carbon dioxide filled air and eating fake food created from soy. On this planet you have found a flyer regarding the pirate/privateer "Captain Kain "Headhunter", you read the contents:

HELP WANTED
By the request of the esteemed Cpt K. Headhunter, a crew of under twenty hardy men and women is requested in order to operate the "Stallion" corvette class ship.
There are many requirements for living under privateer command, one of which will be to serve as mercenaries for the Holy Britannian empire, combating heretics and naysayers, aliens and the deadly "Karatai".
Those of you who deem themselves fit for work aboard the "Stallion", and service to the holy empire, will find Cpt Kain waiting at the Dark matter bar, in city block eight, to evaluate you.
HBE

The Britannian seal of approval is stamped at the bottom of the flyer, intrigued and eager to join you make your way to city block eight and find yourself within the shabby confines of the Dark matter bar. outside the window you see the Lancelot station, the ship of Cpt Kain can be seen within.

Ship

you sit down at the bar and the robotic bartender rolls down to your stool.
"HAIL BRITANNIA. What could I get for you sir/ma'am?" it says in a clunky voice, in the corner of your eye, past the drunk war veteran, you see a shady looking man, below him, on the table, a sign reads:
"Cpt K. Headhunter"

Now, just to clarify, I believe that the advanced section is nothing more than a huge amount of words that doesn't need to be so difficult to read, the same goes for casual as many Rps within that section are what I would call advanced. To keep things simple I am going to put this one in the free section, I don't think posts need to be too long but I don't want one liners and crap posts. That being said a paragraph is as good as it gets, maybe two or three, it doesn't need to be in depth and highly detailed but it's good if you can try.

Again, the plot and the scenarios are completely open to suggestion as of right now, any advice or ideas you have will be a great help, and if you'd like to create your character here that's fine as well.

I have a plan for characters, a list of vacant jobs and a list of races allowed within the holy Britannian empire below.

@Hazy@Infamous Empath@manapool1@Kessir Tarkin
Nice, alright, if you guys want to reserve spots now you can, though, we'd have to wait for a few more people :S

[manapool1]

@Kiwiwiwi

I am really am having trouble between engineer and pilot.

[Kiwiwiwi]

@manapool1

[manapool1]

Probably engineer, it'll put less pressure on me being there

[Kiwiwiwi]

@manapool1
Understandable
If the pilot isn't there then the captain could probably take control

Tactical Breach Armour On

Tactical Breach Armour Off

Facial appearance with helmet off

Name: Kaneda Sasaki
Race: Human (Genetically Modified/Robotically Enhanced)
Age: 175 human years
Gender: Male
Job: Boarding Party / Chef

Personality: Kaneda is a skilled ex mercenary and accomplished chef, he and his heavy armoured suit were designed and trained to become deadly in breaching and boarding other ships. His armour, equipped with a fully functional AI takes the brunt of the force while Kaneda infiltrates the head of the ship. He always listens to music and has created a trademark tactic of hacking into the comms. system and blast music to distract and shock the enemies. He is a complete chef and botanist, learning from chefs wherever he travels. After a battle he may party for a day or two. He is easy going, joking and a bit of a show off with his chef skills. But when he is getting ready for battle he is serious, calm and collected.

Short bio: Kaneda doesn't know much of his past as a child, teenager or most of his adulthood. When he had awoken from whatever sleep he was put, he found himself in the armour that he uses to this day. Unfortunately its memory had been wiped as well all that the suit of armour knew was its own name Proterra which he calls Tera for short. He knows that he is a skilled in combat but doesn't know how he knows it. He became a mercenary because he didn't know what else to do with his armour and skills. Often he would be put on the front lines to board other ships and made himself known for his ability to split from his armour and accomplishing two missions at the same time.

During his time not in battle he became interested in cooking as it seemed to be calming and fun, he also learned to grow plant life in the harshest of conditions so that he or his paying crew would never go hungry. He developed a flashy style to entertain those around him as it made them laugh and smile and talk to him which for some reason he enjoyed.

Viper

Jie 'Viper' Rulangi

---

Appearance

With helmet

Race Human
Age 38
Gender Female
Job Engineer
Personality Jie is a extremely sassy individual when it comes to males. Though when it calls for it or her emotions start rising she is very blunt and straight forward. Not scared to say what's on her mind. She can get very aggressive with words which is why some people know her has 'Viper' because when you push the wrong buttons she can strike you with her fangs right away. Having a slight temper in moments, she usually can control it unless you keep pulling on her boots.
Jie can be very nice and gentle at different situations. She has a more mother roll when it comes to people needing somebody to talk to or getting hurt. Though it's only when she cares about them.
The one thing that can really tug on Jie's heart strings is children especially children being hurt. She can be a crier sometimes though usually never. She is able to crack a few jokes and be funny though she shouldn't ever be a comedian.
Short bio
Jie grew up in a normal household and school. She had top grades, and she scored high in the science and mathematics subjects. Which she joined science bowls and mathematics solving school programs. Once out of high school she had twenty-five prizes in Science Bowls and nineteen in Math Solving.
From there she went to a top college and got her officer degree which took her five years. Becoming an officer of the law and staying in that job for seven years.
In those seven years she got married, went back to college to start an Engineer degree since her husband found being an officer was too dangerous and had a daughter named Aleen. Aleen was very special to her and Jie adored her more then anything in the known universe. Then a fatal day happened. Aleen died at the age of three when she was involved in a pre-school bombing done by two crooked policemen that Jie worked with in the past. Which the reasoning was figured out that the pre-school teacher was one officer's wife who was divorcing him and taking the children and half of the assets.
She ended up going to college to become an engineer from the age of twenty-six to thirty-four. Eight years of learning she had gotten her master's degree in engineering. Two years before she graduated college once again. She and her husband divorced since they couldn't deal with each other after the loss of Aleen. After the divorce she ended up turning to helping anybody that would pay her for fixing their ships.

Interested

Though a few questions.

what would be the responsibilities of an engineer (I've got an character in mind for this one)? Is it exclusively maintenance/repair of the vessel and other mechanical instruments? Demolition of high priority targets? do they play a combat role?

For another character, It is from a custom alien race I devised a couple months back. In essence, it is much like the Formless Spawn that serve Tsathoggua in Lovecraftian lore, though it has the ability to change it's appearance (with limitations). this one I think would work in a assassin/recon type of role. So the question is, would you allow this character? This character is one that I really want to use sometime as I haven't before, and I am willing to alter it to some extent in order to fit the RP better. If not, I'll either fill the last Engineer slot or boarding party.

@Lurking Shadow
Do what you want, I generally don't have any restrictions on characters or races
As for the engineer: they can be used in a variety of situations including that in combat, ship maintenance being a major part of their job they also know how to commandeer gun ports and the like
