Blayze Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 [center][b][u][size=3]Blue Sun[/size][/u][/b] [i][size=1]I aim to misbehave...[/size][/i] [size=1]A cloud of smoke rose through the darkened room as the shadowy figure placed his cigar butt in [/size][size=1]the small ashtray. [/size][size=1][b]"I understand that you were a Browncoat commander during the Unification war, Captain Jacobs,"[/b] [/size][size=1]said a husky voice from the shadows.[/size] [size=1][b]"That's the truth of it,"[/b] replied the figure sitting opposite him, this one sitting in a pool [/size][size=1]of moonlight that streamed in through the room's single window. His eyes appeared black in the [/size][size=1]light, and his brown hair fell lightly over his forehead. [/size][size=1][b]"So you have mixed feelings concerning the Alliance?"[/b] asked the shadowed figure, flexing his [/size][size=1]blue-gloved hands. [/size][b][size=1]"Ain't no "mixed" about it. I don't like the Alliance, the Alliance don't care too much for me [/size][size=1]neither. I keep out of their way, they give me undisturbed passage. We all had to make [/size][size=1]sacrifices after the war." [/size][size=1]"You fought in the Battle of Serenity Valley?" [/size][size=1]"That I did." [/size][size=1]"So you had a hand in the Browncoat's most decisive defeat in the entire war?" [/size][size=1]"I did my best to protect my men. It was all I could do." [/size][size=1]"A noble thought. But a futile one at the same time. For what good is a troop of men who [/size][size=1]cannot fight against the Alliance?" [/size][size=1]"They could fight. The Alliance just turned out to be stronger'n we expected." [/size][size=1]"I sense that you do not wish to discuss the Battle any longer. That is understandable. So, [/size][size=1]tell me of your life currently." [/size][size=1]"I captain a ship. A small ship, Firefly-class, but she's built sturdier'n a rock. She can [/size][size=1]handle anything the 'verse can throw at her, and come out fighting. No weapons, o' course, but [/size][size=1]the Alliance comes down pretty heavy on any ship with weaponry attached. I run jobs, small [/size][size=1]ones, big ones, you name it, I'll do it, for the right price. I've done legal jobs and some [/size][size=1]most definitely illegal ones. You tell me what you need me for and I'll do it." [/size][size=1]"Most interesting. We have a number of jobs for you to complete, some more urgent than others, [/size][size=1]some less...legal than others. But you will not be able to accomplish these tasks on your own. [/size][size=1] You will need a full crew to carry them out. But this offer comes with a warning: we pay [/size][size=1]well, but we expect nothing more or less than complete loyalty from you. If we tell you to do [/size][size=1]something, you do it, without question. If we tell you to jump in a pit with Reavers, you do [/size][/b][size=1][b]it."[/b] [/size][size=1][b]"[i]Ni ta ma de[/i]! I'll do almost anything,"[/b] said Captain Jacobs, his voice and temper rising as he [/size][size=1]got to his feet, [b]"But it had better not have anything to do with the gorram Reavers."[/b] [/size][size=1][b]"I suppose we will see, Captain. Do we have a deal?"[/b] The blue-gloved man pushed a small pile [/size][size=1]of papers and a pen over to Captain Jacobs, who took up the pen, thought for a moment, and then [/size][size=1]signed. [/size][b][size=1]"Excellent. I'm glad we have an accord. Your first job will be given to you exactly one week [/size][size=1]from today. You have that long to get a crew together. Good luck, Captain Jacobs."[/size][/b] [size=1]Captain Jacobs nodded and left the room, his brown trenchcoat flapping behind him.[/size] [b][size=1]"I suspect you will need it..."[/size][/b] [size=1]----[/size] [size=2][u][b]Back Story[/b][/u][/size] [size=1]The year is 2517. Many centuries ago, a large population emigrated from Earth to a new star [/size][size=1]system, one with dozens of planets and hundreds of moons, each one terraformed to support life. [/size][size=1] The central planets formed the nervous system of the planetary Alliance, holding the [/size][size=1]Parliament that ruled over the entire Alliance.[/size] [size=1]However, the Alliance did not spread its influence evenly across the galaxy. The core planets [/size][size=1]were wealthy, civilised, with many cities covering their faces, each one clean and healthy. [/size][size=1]The Outer Planets were not so well looked-after. The Alliance left them to fend for [/size][size=1]themselves, turning many of the inhabitants savage.[/size] [size=1]More recently, an army of men and women from the Outer Planets, the "Independents," waged war [/size][size=1]on the Alliance, to try and release the universe from its control. This was known as the [/size] [size=1]Unification War," where the Alliance fought against the noble Browncoats, thoroughly defeating [/size][size=1]them.[/size] [size=1]Now, most of the Independents scrape their living through smuggling, or cargo runs, bounty [/size][size=1]hunting, anything they can turn their hand to.[/size] [size=1]Captain Alex Jacobs is just one of these Independents. He runs a ship alone, making cargo runs [/size][size=1]and occasionally taking smuggling jobs, for any profit he can make. But more recently, he has [/size][size=1]signed a contract with the megacorporation known only as The Blue Sun Corporation. No-one is [/size][size=1]entirely sure what they do, but Alex is now working for them. He may be a rogue trader, but he [/size][size=1]now works for Blue Sun and no-one else.[/size] [size=1]But he needs to find a crew. So he has hit every spaceport, every docking bay, every sleazy [/size][size=1]bar in his territory to gather a crew as crazy as him, to carry out the bidding of the Blue Sun [/size][size=1]Corporation.[/size] [size=1]Who knows where it will take them...[/size] [size=1]----[/size] [size=1]This RP is based in the Firefly universe, although the original characters from the series will [/size][size=1]not appear. Some of the themes (the Western-style themes, and the Chinese cursing for example) [/size][size=1]will still feature heavily, though.[/size] [size=1]You don't really need to know anything about Firefly or Serenity for this RP, although if you [/size][size=1]do then that would be fantastic and you would get massive kudos. You can use [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefly_%28TV_series%29"][b]this[/b][/url] site for [/size][size=1]reference if you wish to.[/size] [size=1]You will be playing a part of Captain Alex Jacobs' new crew, with these positions needing to be [/size][size=1]filled:[/size] [size=1]Captain (me)[/size] [size=1]Pilot[/size] [size=1]Gunner x2[/size] [size=1]Mercenary x2[/size] [size=1]Technician[/size] [size=1]Medic[/size] [size=1]I do not absolutely need two gunners or two mercenaries, I'm just leaving my options open if [/size][size=1]more than one person signs up for either position.[/size] [size=1]So, on to the sign-up sheet.

Revelation Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 [CENTER][B]Name-[/B] Unknown [B]Nicknames-[/B] Morgan le Fay [B]Age-[/B] 34 [B]Gender-[/B] Female [B]Appearance-[/B] [URL=http://www.larasmansion.com/pics/angelina/angelina01.jpg]Morgan Le Fay[/URL] Most often, Morgan is seen wearing a tank top underneath a black jacket with black pants or shorts- mostly pants. But she carries with her all sorts of disguises and uses them when necessary. [B]Personality-[/B] Morgan le Fay is an enigma through and through. She is a compelling character who is level-headed but acts irrationally, holds a calm and collected demeanor yet breaks the expression through certain emotions. Albeit, when it comes down to business Morgan?s mind switches to that of an entirely different person with a stoic expression and an apathetic mind and heart; her entirety becomes changed in certain situations thus making her an enigma. [B]Short Biography-[/B] how'd you wind up working with Jacobs? Don't make this too long, three or four paragraphs would be the maximum, two would be the minimum [B]Weapons-[/B] be sensible - no swords, and no massive explodey laser cannons or anything either. Lasers will be available, but standard projectile weapons would be more common [B]Specialty-[/B] As a mercenary, Morgan is adept to all types of jobs. She is known to dabble in everything from creating bombs to cooking- a specialty that she doesn?t show to people, often. Nonetheless, her skills are beyond words, as is her knowledge and ability to pick up skills quickly. [B]Notes-[/B] anything else you wish to add[/center] [size=1][color=#CD6619]I?ll have to finish this later, Blayze.

Box Hoy Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 [center][size=1][b]Name[/b]: Acey Black [b]Nicknames[/b]: Ace [b]Age[/b]: 22 [b]Gender[/b]: Male [b]Appearance[/b]: [url=http://www.deviantart.com/view/31057374/]Pic[/url] [b]Personality[/b]: Quick to react to anything. At times Acey can get somewhat frustrated if things won't work. Normally he's very level headed and basically a real nice guy to be around. He takes work seriously though and doesn't screw around. [b]Short Biography[/b]: Acey was born in the fringes of the solar system in a small pioneer town. He rarely had interaction with off-world living, thus resulting in a somewhat disorienation with stellar enviroments later in life. He grew up with a keen sense of technology. By the time he was 13 he'd begun the process of building his own land rover. Acey finally left his home world when he was recruited for a position as a technician on a mining ship during the Unification War. His companions aboard the ship taught him the common second langauge: Mandarian Chinese. After the war, Acey left his mining job but was without a way to make it back home. With little to no cash and no way home he began stowing away upon different ships to get where he wanted. His life changed when he was caught on Captain Jacob's ship. Recognizing his skills as a technician, Captain Jacob allowed him to join his crew. [b]Weapons[/b]: Acey doesn't carry anything other than a pistol and a small dagger his father gave him before he left his home planet. [b]Speciality[/b]: Mechanics. He's really good with machines and technology. Acey can fix darn well anything if you give him some time and don't get in his way.

Darren Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 [B]Name:[/B] Max Aronson [B]Nicknames:[/B] None [B]Gender:[/B] Male [B]Age:[/B] 28 [B]Appearance:[/B] [B][URL=http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/36232619/]This[/URL][/B] is what he generally looks like. He's not a very tidy person. In fact, he's been known to pilot the ship in nothing but his boxers. His hair length and color varies... And he has a really large tattoo of an angel wing that starts on his right shoulder blade and goes around his shoulder to his chest. It makes it looke like the wing is cradling his body. [B]Personality:[/B] He's more of a pacifist, but he'll fight when he's needed. he's actually an extremely good fighter. He tries to show off alot, and tries to impress the ladies, which usually ends in him hand cuffed to the bed the next morning with a massive hang-over. Despite his age, he couldn't be more immature. He's strong-willed and is extremely loyal to the crew. And he would throw himself in front of a bullet for every one of his crew members. He's a bit cocky, and tries to get on people's nerves so he can keep himself entertained. He's just like a snotty older brother. [B]Short Biography:[/B] Aronson was born in the Alliance and raised to be a soldier. His father was in high authority and bound to the alliance more than most know. Max was taught how to fight a bit and how to pilot several different types of vessels. One day, Max's father, discovered something that made him want to leave. So he sent Max and his family away. He sent him to a planet outside the Alliance's influence and they never heard from him again. Time passed, and Max grew older, perfecting his hand-to-hand combat and piloting skills. While Max was out of town, practicing his sharpshooting one day when he was 18, his town was attacked. When Max returned, no one was left. Everyone had been killed or was missing. Max couldn't find his mother or sister anywhere and he didn't know weather to assume the Alliance or the Reavers had done it. Max searched the galaxy, hi-jacking one vessel after another when his old one ran out of gas until he was caught trying to steal a government ship. He went to jail for a few years, and when he got out, he decided that his mother and sister were dead and he moved to a small out-of-the-way location where he drowned his sorrows in booze and women until he met Captain Alex Jacobs. As it turns out, Jacobs was piloting his ship by himself and was looking for a talented, full-time pilot. Max begged Alex to allow him to join and when he showed him his piloting skills, he was instantly added as a member of the crew. [B]Weapons:[/B] He genearlly doesn't use weapons seeing as he's the pilot, but he has your standard projectile weapon. When needed he can use the ship as a weapon. [B]Specialty:[/B] Piloting. He can pilot nearly every type of vessel, and his skills are nearly unmatched. He's also good at hot-wiring vessels to hi-jack. Excellent Hand-to-hand combat, and he's not a bad marksmen either. [B]Notes:[/B] Nope, but I think this is a great RP. Love Firefly and Serenity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blayze Posted August 2, 2006 Author Share Posted August 2, 2006 [size=1]Sorry to do this to all of you, but I decided a while ago, back when I though this RP was dead as a doornail, that I wasn't going to continue with this one. I have a couple of new projects on the go currently, and I really don't have the time to give this one the concentration it deserves. So, I'm really sorry, I may redo this RP at a later date, but for now, I'm going to let it die.
