Bio
I'm Henwen, dayshift desk-jockey and excel wizard.
I'm not a big fan of the Now, but i love all things Past and Future to rp in. Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Steampunk, Noir and DnD-esk are what I'm here for. I thrive with worldbuilding and plotting character drama with angst alamode. I'm crafty too so expect arts of your characters and stuff because i show my love with doodles.
As far as myself personally, i am a 30 yo female from KS. The rest you'll have to get to know from me personally.
;P

MARS! I am hella interested in this idea!
Any idea how many people are going to be taking this flight and what kind of people they are? I'm assuming that these are all people looking to live on mars so collonists? And that this is more of an 'under the radar' kinda mission... I doubt earth gov types are interested in havnig people live there again after trying so hard to wipe them out.
I'm pretty flexable as to what kind of characters I like to play, so some kind of rough idea of what your wanting would be a big help on that front.

The Citadel was a relatively familiar place, safer than most enough that when Viva finished up the SIRIUS's refueling she had no qualms about darting away to enjoy the rest of her leave. And Viva had very much enjoyed leave. Feeling real sunlight on her face and wind in her hair always put a silly smile on her face, remembering when her parents would take them on outings on strange planets...the good times in her childhood.
After only the first hour she could feel the sunburn crisping her skin, her freckles standing stark against her pale skin, so her first stop was to one of the local drugstores and nearly drowned herself in uv-protective lotion. Still, she'd put up with a little burn to feel real sunshine every once in a while.
Her next stop was wherever her nose took her first, the scents of local cuisine drawing her through the bustling marketplace from one tasty entree to the next. Here, a portly man cooking something on a barbecue that while looking dubious caused her mouth to water, and there a bakery serving up sumptuous sweet bread rolls with glittering sugars. She had yet to leave a planet hungry.
She also made sure not to eat all her credits right away- which had been a bad habit for her in the past. The rest of her funds were spent on some 'personal preserves' of food snacks to stash away in her bunk: Dried fruit and nuts, a small box of delicate chocolates, and some sweet fruits preserved in tiny bottles of alcohol- soaking up all that rummy goodness for a off-shift treat. All the kinds of things that would last a good long while out in space- although she'd yet to have any of her goodies spoil on her, the temptation to snack is a hard thing to shake when one is alone on the bridge.
She also managed to nab a few local sounds, musicians that hadn't quite broken into the interstellar scene yet. Nothing quite as good as White Noise Blackout, or The Kilonova Kruzers... but she'd liked what she heard so far and so she'd bought a clip or two to try.
She was sitting at one of the open air bakery cafes on the main market street, enjoying a cool fruity concoction and a huge toasty delicious soft braided pretzel when she happened to glance at the time and see just how much of it had passed. Shooting down the dregs of her drink she hopped off the stool and headed to the street, slinging her rucksack full of goodies and her flight jacket over her shoulder as she chewed the last end of her pretzel.
Viva trotted her way down the market taking in the sights, she was not in too much of a hurry as being the pilot- it wasn't very likely that she'd be left behind. But she didn't want to be too late for starting liftoff either, made the captain grumpy.
She was just passing by one of the more seedier looking bars when a familiar gleam caught her eye and a huge grin spread across her face as she abruptly changed direction and made a beeline towards her fellow shipmate.
"Well lookit what we have here," Vee said as she threw an arm over Anora's shoulder and snuggled up to her on the other side, "Now what's a fine girl like you doing in a place like this? Haha, Howya enjoy leave Selen? I would have escorted you myself, but you know the Sirius is my first love."
"Come on, you're not doing anything important here right? Leave is about over anyways, you should walk with me back to the ship- lovely ladies like us shouldn't be alone in a rough place like this." She finished with an exaggerated wink and a very tongue in cheek expression, "If you ask nicely I'll even let you carry my bag."

I'll be trying to get up an intro post sometime today, but its gonna be latelatelate tonight before i can get to it. I'm working a full shift today, but once i'm home i'll be right here busting this post out.
Posted for you @Eschatologist sorry for the outragously long delay. Been kinda caught up this past week, and then had a bit of writers block to top it off. Hopefull this will get the plot moving again.
The pianists words brought a grim smile to the detective's face, although it looked more like a grimace than an actual smile. The empty platitudes rang a familiar bell for him, and not a good one. It was another one of those 'need-to-know' cases that always seemed to be needlessly messy and convoluted. He figured it would be as such simply from the hefty lawyer-speak that embroiled the 'contract' they were required to sign.
Miles perked up for a second as Mr. Cole continued to speak, the idea that they could begin these challenges before signing the magical-mumbo-jumbo contract seemed like a good one. A test drive of sorts- although as he continued to think about it, his sinking feeling returned, it might be more along the lines of 'don't look a gift horse in the mouth'.
After all, they didn't have to sign this thing, give this fancy lady a fine 'no thank you kindly' and be on their merry ways. If he read the situation rightly, this was going to be a sign first ask questions later kinda gig.
Still, the question was in the air, and so he sat back and waited for their lovely Pianist's reply.

Name: Keptak
Caste: The Ritiki Tribe
Rank: Hunter
Sex: Female
Race: Kroot
Age: 10
History:
Keptak was born to the Ritiki Tribe, their hives deep in the more jungle like forests of Pech. The tribe, while fearsome and strong, is still a fairly new one. Named after the Ritiki Drak- a poisonous lizardlike kroot decendent, Shaper Gartox lead them to feast on the lower beast in order to obsorbe its tenatious regeneration and oily poisouns secreations. This has only been partially successful, allowing them an increase in the toxidity of their natural secreations, moderately accelerated healing rate, and with the unexpected added result of giving their tribe their uniquely viborant coloration.
Keptak has nearly reached adulthood and has proven herself to be an acceptionally talented hunter and tracker- able to blend in seamlessly with her surroundings despite her striking appearance. She is a ruthless and ferocious warrior with a voracious appitite that has served her well. Rumor has it that she is a decendent of shapers due to her selective taste in prey- but this has yet to be confirmed. While not quite considerd an adult, she is Currently far from Pech, serving the Tau faction in the furtherance of their cause. She revels in the opportunity to prove herself as a dangerous predator and warrior, and looks forward to the opportunity to sample new and exciting cultures prey.
Equipment: Kroot Rifle Staff and many many knives of varying size and all of them leathaly sharp.
NPCs: Kroothound Ratanak
Appearance: (I will be drawing my own picture please be patient with my slow artistry)
Let me know of any innacuracies or if i need to fix anything. I did not use spell check for this, so please forgive.

HEY yo i'd like in on this, me and TauGirl want to play a couple ladies. Would it be possible for me to play a Doof Warrior?
MOVING TO CS!
I wasn't on the piratepad, so i cant speak for anybody who was using it... (real cross i missed that boat)
But i figure we have a lot of potential using everyones backstories as potential plotpoints- Viva's got a crimminal brother on the loose, Anora's on the run from her parents, we've got our firstmate's long lost mother, and the evil Netyi mining, and we've got plenty of smuggling connections between the lot of us.
I say we've got enough to work with for the moment, lets just takes this sucker live and if somebody sees an opportunity to bring one of these plotlines into action to mention it here and we'll go from there.
This is all still just imo, if anybody else thought of something better thats cool too and i'd love to hear more.
