[OOC] Heart Of Gold - Firefly Inspired RP - Closed

[Afina]

Heart Of Gold

Welcome to the Heart Of Gold, I am your Captain. My crew is ready, willing and able to take care of all your transport needs, be they legal or not so much, for the right price. The crew is a little rough around the edges and some of them are new but don’t you worry your pretty floral bonnet, they’re shiny. Gear up because we are about to take off on our next mission. Whether that be to transport little bobble headed dolls or something much more valuable, we aim to please. Oh who am I kidding? We aim to misbehave. So let’s go be Big damn Heroes.

If you hadn’t caught on by now, you may want to hold on to your tight pants. This is a firefly inspired RP. Now having said that, it isn’t exactly the ‘Verse but hey, what things are? Crew has been selected over all but hey, never know we could need you. Feel free to drop a line and let us know if you need transport or a job done or want to toss your hat into the ring. You know, for the right price all things can be worked out.

Rp Rules:
1. General Forum Rules Apply
2. Gm is God (or Goddess in this case.)
3. Isn’t on your approved character sheet, doesn’t exist – so plan well. History can be expanded on through out the RP and changes to Cs can be made, just run it by me first.
4. Characters may possess up to 2 special items - hacker material, medical, etc.
5. Stay in character in IC.
6. Have a problem; bring it to the GM’s attention.
7. If you are going to be inactive, let the GM know.
8. This is High Casual RP – Minimal of two well-developed paragraphs per post.
9. No godmodding, bunnying or metagamming will be allowed. To do so will incur the wrath of the GM Goddess and I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those that would attempt such things.
10. Canon Rp – You’ve been warned.
11. Adult language will be present – once again you’ve been warned.
12. Posts that are awesome or crack me up will be rewarded.
13. Romance can happen – let it be natural, do not force it just to have a romance. Fade to black when needed. No Smut in IC.
14. Characters can be old or new, doesn't matter
15. And once again, Gm is Goddess.
16. Have fun.
17. Rules are subject to change at any moment if needed.

[TheWizardLizard]

Name: April Cooper
Age: 19
Position: Pilot
Appearance/Clothing:

Top image for face/hair/body type, bottom image for clothes, also she has no robot arm

Skills: Pilot, Navigation, Mechanic, Flyer, Drive, Astrogation, Streetwise, Zero-G, Carouse, Gun Combat (Pistol)
Crimes Against The Alliance: Larceny, Hijacking, Theft of Motorized Vehicles, Theft of Spacecraft, Contempt of Court
Additional Information: Never an actual member, but significant Browncoat leanings.
Weapons: One Enfield Revolver, and... that's it.
Possessions: Several piles of junk she keeps in her bunk/the cockpit, containing souveniers, knick-knacks, mementos and nothing of any real value.
Personality: April is compassionate, firey, and cheerful. She's an incorrigible optimist and cares a great deal for the people close to her, though this doesn't detract from her tendency to be snarky and/or foul-mouthed to them. She has a bit of a temper and is very quick to argue with people she believes to be in the wrong, though she'll generally forget about it just as quickly if they're her friends. She can be something of an adrenaline junkie when it comes to making things go fast, though she never really puts herself or anyone else in danger. She also has a problem with authority about a mile wide - credit it to her upbringing.
History: April was born on a poor outer planet called Natawalk. Her parents were both Browncoats who died in the rebellion, so for as long as she can really remember she was raised by her uncle. As she grew up, she quickly discovered a talent for piloting, driving, and otherwise operating vehicles, as well as an ability to make them go. She left her home at sixteen years old to make her own way in the star system, immediately beginning a crime spree of hijackings, joy-rides, and Robin-Hood style redistribution of wealth.

@TheWizardLizard Cleared to board the Heart Of Gold

[Narcotic Dollie]

Is this full?

[Afina]

@Narcotic Dollie We look to have a full base crew up I am open to others depending on the role, any ideas to what you would be going for?

[Narcotic Dollie]

Erh, I have a couple of ideas. I was thinking maybe a gunmaker who hitches a ride on your boat to get to a different planet...or a male companion, if you're open to that sort of thing. :P

But if you're full up, I understand.

[Afina]

@Narcotic Dollie either could work, we are using a firefly class vessel, so there will be two ships up for rent as it were. Open to the companion thing as long as it's tasteful and follows the rp rules.

[hoppiholla391]

eeeexcellent :D ill move this over to the character tab when/if it's approved.

Name: Hannah "Sparrow" McClave
Age: 20
Position: She Who Makes Things Go Boom (weapons expert)

Appearance

{credit to pheberoni on deviantart}
Hannah also has a set of birds tattooed on her hips:

Tattoos

Clothing

Skills: Combat Engineering (Fortifications, Mines, Sensor Surv, Camo), Animals (Riding, Vet), Athletics (circus skills), Carouse, Deception, Drive (2 and 4 wheel, hover), Explosives (she likey), Forgery, Gambler, Liaison, Remote Operations, Trade (Local), Weapon Engineering (Melee, Energy, Ballistic, Heavy, Drones)
Crimes Against The Alliance: Smuggling, Property Destruction, Contempt of Court, Vandalism, plus the ones she won't talk about, Manslaughter, First Degree Murder, Second Degree Murder, and Grand Larceny; she's only been convicted for some of these crimes
Additional Information: Loves small animals and will protect them with her life. Cries at sad and/or animated movies. Has named every single one of her weapons. Ask her about the homicide charges and she won't say a word.
Weapons: Many. Ranges from ballistic knives, to rocket launchers, to bioweapons banned on most planets. Her favorite is a seemingly endless box of tiny, pill-sized grenades that she refers to as her 'fairy dust.'
Possessions: Hannah keeps her weapons in an enormous cube locker with a 10-digit pass, a biometric and retinal scanner, and requires a specific song as a password. She also has the general odds and edds, clothes,
Personality: Hannah might just be the nicest person you'll ever meet. She stands at about five feet tall, she's cute, she has a charming southern drawl, and she's just so damn cheerful all the time it's hard not to like her, because she certainly likes you. That being said, she also regularly blows craters in small towns and cackles while she does it, so either that's all just an act or there's something scary lurking under all those smiles.
History: Hannah was part of a large family on a backwater planet near the edge of the alliance; between the two tracts of land the different branches of the family owned, she got to experience both horse and cattle farming. Unfortunately, when the revolution rolled around, those two branches split right down the middle between the browncoats and the loyalists. It was a long, bloody feud that ended in the death of most of Hannah's immediate family—those records, at least, are public knowledge, but what happened to those that survived is her secret. It ended with a bang, about two weeks before the end of the Unification War and the arrival of Alliance soldiers, when half of the town was razed in a massive explosion. A week later, Hannah was discovered missing at age 17, and she's been with the Heart of Gold ever since. (Details will be revealed via IC.)

[Afina]

@hoppiholla391 Hannah is free to board, grab a bunk.

[Narcotic Dollie]

I finally finished him. I went with the gun smith, since he's less scandalous! ;) Let me know what edits I need to make.

Silas Fairbanks

Name: Silas Fairbanks
Age: 29
Position: Gun Smith

Appearance

Clothes

Skills: Gun smiting and repair, Crack shot, Gun combat (Specialty in Sniper Rifle), Blending in, Haggling, Basic knowledge of explosives, Decent accountant, Excellent cook.

Crimes Against The Alliance: Illegal distribution, Tax evasion.

Additional Information: Silas is proficient with most firearms but quite awful at hand to hand combat. Being raised on Dyton (The same moon as Badger), he has a slight Irish accent.

Weapons: Bolt action sniper rifle and a basic handgun his father made. Silas has other guns of course, but they’re for selling and not personal use.

Possessions: Two crates of weapon merchandise (stored in the hull of the ship), gun smithing tools, and a small collection of seasonings.

Personality: Silas is a confident, soft spoken man who mostly keeps to himself. Don't let his quiet demeanor fool you though, he's a thrill seeker at heart and loves anything that gets his adrenaline up. Silas is also brave and stays calm in the face of danger, often not having to think twice about walking into dangerous situations. This has gotten him into trouble on more than one occasion.

History: Born and raised on Dyton, Silas's parents where local weapons merchants, with his father creating the firearms and his mother running the business. Young Silas would rush home from school everyday to help his father at the workbench and helped his mother balance the books at night. They weren't wealthy, but they weren't poor either and Silas was very happy.

When he finished school Silas continued to help his parents, until the war broke out, when his primary job became smuggling weapons and ammunition to the Independents behind enemy lines. When the war ended, Silas decided to strike out on his own. He went to a gun smithing school for a few years to hone his craft before making his own weapons and selling them under the table on different border planets.
