Redshirt Canteen

[akje]

And now, for something completely different.

This is going to weird, it's going to be humorous, it's going to be free. And I'm looking for players!

We all know the terrible fate that befalls the extra's.
The minions that fall in hordes to your blade, so you can get that exp you need to grow strong enough to defeat the big bad in an epic climactic battle.

Well today we step into the shoes of unsung heroes. And prepare ourselves for the worst.

The setting is the canteen in a large space HUB. All of you are faceless nobodies to the heroes and villains in the universe, so you get stuck with the crappy jobs.
From killing the fungus monster that lives in the trash compactor, to scraping the space barnacles off the hull. It's harsh, It's demeaning, and survival chances are horrid. But hey! It pays well, there's great dental and it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it!

One advantage of no one knowing your face or name is that no one notices if another takes your place. So what do we do? We swap jobs, barter and trade in goods and tasks.

"I'll escort the rebel leader to his new cell, if you take over for me at the Jetpack testing site."

Characters

When making your character you can pretty much go nuts, It's mostly conversation in the canteen so don't bother noting down your characters combat style and extensive exotic weapon collection. As long as you have a name and divide your skills over 4 categories.
speed: for jobs that must be done quickly
skill: for difficult tasks, intelligence based stuff
luck: sometimes the odds have to be in your favor
health (endurance): for combat

Have one you excel at, one you suck at, and two that are average.

Once you start you'll be given a few jobs at random. They will be noted with minimum requirements to accomplish without getting killed. they will always be given unfairly.

Example

Frank is a soldier in the Democratic Intergalactic Collective of Kingdoms.
He's a bit of a brick head and can't do calculus to save his life, but he does know his way around a plasma rifle. Not that he'd ever land a hit on a main character or anything, but he holds his own on a battlefield.
speed: 2
skill: 1
luck: 2
health: 3

His given job is 'Scout trough an asteroid field', which requires:
speed: 2
skill: 2
luck: 2
health: 1

So he'll have to find a way to trade this job with someone else.

I do not believe that I have the words to express how strongly I approve of this. I'm on board.

Holy shit I have players! I had already given up on this. Cool!
Hmm... how many players will we need..? I'm thinking 4 or 5 at least?
