Outer Space — Stolen Frigate 💣

@HeroicSociopath

He jumped at the sudden emergence of another person, quite possibly threatening him. Maybe he should have considered that these people may be adverse to someone stowing away on their ship. He held up his hands, not about to refuse any requests, and spoke,

"My name is Pate. I stowed away. I suppose you're one of the people who got this ship spacebound?". He figured his fear wouldn't show through the vicious smile and many voice filters on his mask. By the time his voice rang out it'd sound like a dying man's last breath.

"So how did you do it?"

Catalyst: The Trading Card Game (Reboot)

I'd be quite interested in this.

My character is hidden below. Can I request Pride and Steel? As for ring, Grey suits my character best.

Gareth Sigsby

Name: Gareth Sigsby

Age: 17

Time in Shibuya: 5 months

Nationality: Australian

Appearance (The image works, but use the description here for details.): Wears whatever's comfortable/utilitarian, ie. Cargo pants, cheap tshirt, and a 60 liter backpack. Has a lower than average face, which is marred further by the grime constantly covering it. Well-muscled, and can probably win some money arm-wrestling. Short brown hair, to avoid it catching in machines.

Personality: Curious, Intelligent, and generally uninterested in people. He's socially underdeveloped, due to spending all his free time around broken cars & shit like that, as opposed to people. An existentialist. Also a bit of a slob. He doesn't wash often, and his clothes are usually 'clean enough'.

Hobbies & Interests (besides engineering): Violin, Dark Souls, Cooking, Chemistry, Poetry and Lyricism, and Philosophy.

Bio: Gareth was raised by a small time mechanic living in Melbourne. When he was young he discovered an interest and a natural talent with machines. By 10 he had made several air rifles, a hydraulic arm for heavy lifting, and a mouse bot he hoped to enter Robot Wars with. At 12 he had started apprenticing under his father for a modest wage, and at 16 he entered TAFE to study engineering even further. His studies naturally led him to Japan as an exchange student. He'd already become quite accomplished at basic engineering, so he was to study robotic engineering there. AI and shit. He honestly expected to be placed into a more prodigious school, but he'll make do. He'll also have to make a trip to From Software's office soon.

Don't fill these in until I've confirmed availability:

@HeroicSociopath

If you want to do something with your character, maybe ours can meet and escape from the ship? Obviously taking an escape pod and scrapping it for parts to sell. Maybe on Tortuga?

What's up. Guess why I'm here :p

@Blackened World I read through that and it was immensely helpful! Though I was talking more about a rules system, ie. Shadowrun, D&D, Pathfinder, etc.

Casual and advanced sound fun, I'll lurk there for a bit :p

The cargo hold was whirring with the sound of engines. Crates are stacked atop one another, as is appropriate. One tumbled and fell, spilling open as it hit the ground with a dense thud. A person flops out, rolling a little, like a corpse might.

The person is male, and frighteningly lanky. He wears worn but old boots, baggy and coarsely woven pants, and something which at one point may have been called a vest. His face is the most interesting, though. On it he wears a helmet of sorts. It resembles a head, split with a smile; only it's the type of smile you might expect a bag of worms and rotten meat to wear. The eyes are comparable to empty patches of space, and the hair pools on the floor in ragged clumps.

He gingerly brings himself to his feet. He casts a despairing gaze across the room. Other than boxes, there was a few doorways, some cameras, an airlocked cargo ramp, and an office space. He walks over to the office space, passing by the ramp as he does so.

"Yeah. Someday, not today. Sorry." His raspy voice filled the cargo hold, though he was only talking to the ramp controls.

The office space was about as exciting as you can expect it to be: Plenty of details concerning the intricacies of cargo delivery, orders placed by far-off companies, quantities of stock on board, and a monitor displaying the current value of various minerals. But it was in the corner by the door where he found exactly what he was looking for. He switched the small device on, and began searching through the crates.

After long enough he had found the crate he stowed his gear in. Through the wonders of technology the crate was delivered through a section of wall that slid aside. At the press of a button the crate popped open, and emitted a vague hissing sound. Inside were his trade tools. A bag containing several ship overdrive modules, some personal modules, and food and drink; A large utilitarian custom rifle; A comm unit; and a small metal cylinder. He plugged a few personal modules in, slipped his arms in the bag straps, and slung his rifle.

"Well, I guess it's time I thanked whatever helped this ship to fly.", and with that he set off to try find some life aboard. That or a ship to get out of here.

What's up. Guess why I'm here :p

@Blackened World

Yeah, I meant to ask if y'all use a specific system, or if it's more freeform.

Already writing up an introduction in the stolen frigate area

Outer Space — Stolen Frigate 💣

Writing up an intro now, if you don't mind. No worries if it goes nowhere, I'll just make an excuse to leave.

What's up. Guess why I'm here :p

Yo. I'd start with introducing my name, but it's already fairly obvious. I chose it because most people see rodents as pests, and I find it strange.

I have been roleplaying since I was about 9/10 ish in various different ways. So far it's been a huge part of my life, the standard social anxiety explanation and how it allows me to get to know people with more depth in a safe setting. I've run about 5 or 6 adventures in total (including the awful first few), with the most at one time being three. That was stressful. I'm new to forum roleplay though, so let's hope the trial period goes well.

I suppose I should contain some non-roleplaying info on me. I am training as a blacksmith for a career, and my hobbies (roughly) are Period Fencing, Parkour, BASS, and obviously roleplaying. The 'i' key on my keyboard isn't functioning properly so if I miss any or double up on them it's because that happened.
