That was part of the point. Or counter-point, to be more precise.Also, .Just one drop.My character takes it seriously, when the rest of the world thinks she's crazy.-

Get Fallout New Vegas, Old World Blues and you get some Who Turned Out the Lights stuff

Khm

On that note, only thing to ever scare me on Doctor Who was the Empty Child.

Considering throwing a Capn' post up as he has made up his mind.

I think I know what you are referring to, and I have never played a single game of Fallout, ever.

Combat recovery suits?

Mhm, the Trauma suits.

They say it in this video at some point which I can't be bothered watching it to find out.

Posted.We must now ask the hard question of Kessa, whom wishes to deny romance in this RP:

I did the what the what? Who says I deny it? XD

[Foster]

You did, 'bro. In this thread.

*Gets a sick idea to play out in head*

Roughly 4min 30sec in.

Also, I'm tempted to do so many Dr Who and/or Dr Strange references right now.

Are you accepting characters at this time?

[erikaG]

We're still early enough in that I wouldn't mind taking an extra writer/character into the fold. But the concept would have to set the character apart from what we already have. Some redundancy is to be expected, but not a considerable amount. Just keep that in mind.

EDIT: and to go with that, I'll want to approve some kind of character sheet before you join (don't really care about format). I just want to make sure your character concept will gel.

[Nib]

Do you have a pilot?

[Sep]

I am our captain pilot, most the flying is actually done by the computer.

[Ellri]

So far, most of the crew isn't that set on actually doing the mission they've been charged with. There's at least 6-7 different things they're more interested in doing.

[Sep]

I've set the course, I am waiting on Jorj to tell me we can actually go.

[Nib]

So I don't need to pick a job?

I think Ellri means as no-one has really done anything mission related yet (can't say anything Ellri you have only done a flashback :P).

[erikaG]

You absolutely need a "job." This isn't a cruise with a buffet line. Everyone has ulterior motives for why they are aboard the ship but they also serve general and specific roles aboard the vessel. If your character doesn't have a role (and I would prefer something about that role to be specific regardless of whatever other general things of which they are capable), then they serve no purpose being on the ship.

[Ellri]

Yup. Job to do is kinda necessary, but ulterior motives for being there is quite acceptable. We'll try to finish the post we started some time ago soon.

[Nib]

Could I be the Security Officer?

Pretty sure I've already got that job. Well... "environmental security specialist", actually.

That said, my character is trying to create Dr-Who levels of world-ending biological weapons... just to prove they can exist.

[Nib]

Oh. I was intending for my character to be in charge of the security of the crew and the ship.

[Ellri]

Security, so far at least, isn't much of an issue... Other than from each other, of course.

Maybe some sort of sciences field?

[erikaG]

There isn't really much need for internal security. The crew is small and even if they fought amongst each other, the corporations in charge of putting together the crews would only use that as more fuel to the reality-tv fire they're stoking back in the Milky Way, almost to the point of encouraging squabbles (possibly even to the point of placing specific members of intergalactic teams against each other). As far as external security goes, it's a scout ship. Even if they were to come across a hostile species, they would be stupid to engage in any form or fashion, and the number of actual "away party" type missions are likely to be few and far between.

It is a typical role that is, in some ways, missing from what we have, but I don't think the scope really justifies having a more military-minded character.
