Starfire


This is a character-focused roleplay set in the year 3197. War has broken out in the Xenovia Solar System, and there's only one group that could possibly put a stop to it. Unfortunately they seem to be having engine problems, so until then you and your companions are going to try and make as much money as possible while you can. You work for Starfire Company, a private military contractor that does the dirty jobs no one else wants to do. Whose side are you on? Take your pick: The tyrannical empire whose only concern is how many credits they have in their treasury, the terrorist group that isn't afraid to slaughter every innocent in their way if only to receive their so-called "freedom," or maybe one of the many crime syndicates that have been running wild since they're no longer the government's main concern. No one really cares if you worked for the other side just the day before when the fighting gets this bloody. Have fun.

Jaydaar - Zetsuko

3. I don't want to see anyone fighting in the OOC. Period.

4. If you plan to be gone for a few days, let us know. It's no fun for anyone if you come back to find your character dead because we thought you quit without telling.

7. Most importantly: have fun. You break this rule, than I sentence you to be hung by the neck until you cheer up.

Good to go, @Raxacoricofallapatorius. Just a question though. You mentioned that Deraen is an arms trader and I was wondering if that means he is not a part of Starfire Company. It's fine if he isn't, but this will be where most of the action is. Also, thank you very much for the blurb.

Thank you for your interest @The Cook and @The Grey Dust. I shall be sure to look for your CSs when you two post them.

I figured he'd be working for or with the Starfire Company (someone's gotta get those boys their weapons) and probably end up doing mercenary work for them too. If that doesn't appeal to you I can change it no problem.

If you are still taking I'd like to give this a go. I've had a race in the making that would be fun for this...at least it should.

Yes the inspiration for some of this was the Borg.

Also I was wondering exactly what kind of FTL technology the humans have? There are a number of different TV shows that use different FTL engines which are based on theoretical scientific theories and operate in different manors, I was wondering which we were using.

It's all good. Just wanted to confirm that that was what you intended.

Go right ahead.

Your character is accepted. To answer your question on FTL technology, it basically is the same to that of the FTL drives from Mass Effect. The only real difference is that instead of Element Zero being subjected to electric current, it is Oppenheimium.

Also what level of interstellar technology is generally normal? Like Star Trek levels, shields, phasers, transporters, holograms, force fields, that sort of thing or are we a bit more primitive like Firefly or Cowboy Bebop?

Also, a typo in my CS, Stephen's 5'10" not 5'1". Just to mention.

Force fields exist, but they're advanced enough that you'll only find them on large ships, like cruisers. Lasers also exist but they haven't been around very long. If you were to just pick up a random gun off a battlefield, there would be a 50/50 chance of it being either laser or ballistic. Holograms are close to Star Wars level where it's all solid blue and static-y, so you aren't going to throw up a hologram of yourself and have everyone start shooting at it like in Halo. Mind you, this is just the Human technology level. Other races could easily have more or less advanced technology and that is all up the creators of that race. Beyond that, tech like teleportation is non-existent.

Alright, I almost used beaming tech to aid Stephen's escape from Pegasus, thinking the space station would be like DS9, then it occurred to me that we might not have tech like that.

Does that mean we can't have a holographic Doctor like on Voyager?

Also if force field are expensive enough that you only find them on big ships does the same apply to energy shielding?

Name: Krull



Race: Goralian

Gender: Male

Age: 103 years

Background: Krull began life humbly, as all Goralians do, clawing his way up the birthing pits. From their he only did what came naturally, war. You see, as a whole the Goralian race is a savage, war obsessed race who put the "Honorable War" above all things. And so he went, collecting trophies and siring strong children until the day "The Sky Fell" nearly fifty years ago. When the revelation came that there were other things they could kill, the Goralian people gladly lept at the chance to add new skulls to the trophy racks. Unfortunately that meant attacking anyone who landed on the planet. When someone was finally able to crack the language barrier an agreement was struck up fairly quickly, come onto the ships and fight our wars. And fight they did, HE did. Krull was one of the first to accept the offer and since then he has traveled through the stars, bouncing between mercenary companies and random buyers. It's been only recently that he has joined the Starfire Company.

Personality: Brutal, savage, and oddly noble, Krull is a paragon of Goralian values. He will never stab one in the back, or shoot you in the back for that matter as that is both cowardly and dishonorable. Battle is his only calling and meat his preferred currency, literally. Krull holds currency in low standing, instead he prefers the barter system back on Goral. At the end of the day, Krull wants 4 to 5 things. Battle, trophies, meat, and woman....sometimes men.

Gear:
-Scavenged Armor and Gnarl wraps, Traditional Goralian armor. Minimal plating with focus on the torso, groin, and the knees down. Strong enough to block small arms fire entirely but falls short to higher caliber weapons.
-Hammerburst, primitive by most civilizations standards the Hammerburst is nonetheless effective at bringing individuals down because of the considerable force behind the slugs which have been known to knock people off their feet regardless of armor.
-Cleaver, a multipurpose tool, the Goralian cleaver is meant to slice through meat, bone, and some armors.

Personal Ship: N/A
