Space Adventure R.I.P.

[the fifth]

First order of business I have never GM'ed so if you want a smooth running campaign look elsewhere. Also if someone is willing to assist me in this it will be much appreciated. The basis of this game is to have a smallish ship and go aviking through the universe. One important point is that the universe is insane, I will be having adventures that include creatures that are extremely warped and weird. This universe contains 3 main factions, the Government, the Syndicate(organized crime), and everybody else, the mish mash of small time crooks and entrepreneurs. There will be a fair amount of humor but mostly things will be bad. I will (of course) be the captain of this tub and I need certain jobs filled, such as engineer. Quests we embark on will be thought up and voted on by everybody. When we land on a planet and you go do whatever you do, you get to bring back any quest you can think of. Recently a lot of RPs have been canceled so I want you to know that the only way I will leave this is if I die, that being said if there are forces outside of my control stopping me(for example internet down) it will only be delayed for a few days. Tech will be determined on the fly. The will be guns and lasers and such, if you think of something tell me and I might let you have it. There will be the standard rules(if you need me to tell them to you then I do not want you) and you do not have to be an awesome writer to join. Just try your best and I will tell you if the post is not good enough. You have 45 points for stats and 40 for skills.

[link]http://outlander.solsector.net/CONCEPT%20ART_files/Concept/Ships.jpg[/link] Looks like that(I think that is pretty good but if you can find better show me). Pretty good armor and engines for offense, point defense, 1 medium ship laser, 2 small missile pods

You are right Bad Rider and I am trying if you need any info in particular please tell me, as for who we are, we are independent. As for the ship name I am thinking void crawler but if you can think of something better I will go with that. The galactic core is controlled by the government, the outer rim is loosely controlled by the syndicate. we are not currently wanted but you might want to watch out in the in systems, on the rim it is pretty much local law only so all you have to do is get out of there until the heat blows over. No big plot events will happen for a while we will just be taking jobs and such. Also you need to add inventory to each character page I accidentally forgot to put that. Looks like I fixed almost everything and we will hopefully start before the weekend. Thank yo all for joining you are doing wonderful things to my ego.

Age: 22
Name:John Farrington
Species: Human
Gender:Male
Inventory: cyber contacts, a small handgun resembling a .44 magnum.
Jobilot
Bio:Orphaned on the outer rim spent his first few years in a goverment controlled facility, however around age five the planet was deemed of little or no value and the goverment moved resources elsewhere leaving him stranded. Quickly he was drawn into the syndicate picking pockets however as he grew he was drawn in to fly ships for jobs. Around age 17 he and a group of his friends decided to break free of the syndicate, they flew off and as far as he knew where left on their own. Since then he's made a living off flying whatever he could when he could. How he got onto the void crawler however is down to an empty fighter left at a military base. At the time he was delivering food/ammo to a local law enforcement. This facility had come across this fighter after a goverment initiative to start mining the planet and a need for greater security. A quick joyride and tracking device later and he found himself crashed on a trading planet, taking what he could from the wreckage he quickly found a job going on the void crawler.

Bio:Aarec Valone was born to parents on a blockade running ship. His father was the Ships Mechanic and his mother was the Ships physician. He seemed to have a knack for healing that appeared at a young age. He learned his trade from his mother who nurtured his talents. He then attended School of Medicine at Kalon XII where he graduated second in his class. He knew that many ships had inadequate physicians and made it his goal to be the pinnacle of a good physician. He decided to try and join the crew of the Void Crawler by answering a "Physician Wanted" Ad and apparently impressed captain Vinny Rollins and he was hired. He impressed the captain or it was the fact that he was the only one with any experience in the anatomy of Wafwa's.
Personality: Usually all business, very serious when it comes to his job. Is currently trying to learn to lighten up.

Bio: Born in the farming fringe of the Raluvion sector, Loki spent his early childhood learning how to grow crops and taking care of the animals.

After his 21st Birthday Loki, on a quest to find better money, left his home searching for a stable job as a mechanic. He soon joined the crew of a mercenary ship running errands for the highest bidder. His travels led his to several star systems where he aided the local law enforcement officers with his natural tracking skills. It wasn't long before he was approached by the government who was willing to train him as a specialist Hunter to track down and terminate the scum of the underworld. After 14 years in their service Loki called it quits. It was time to try other things and more lucrative jobs. Today, Loki finds himself on the Planet Gronk V. He is awaiting his new position as a Hunter on a ship called the Void Crawler.

Vinny returns to the ship with a Kongi in tow. "hey everybody I found us some work". the small Kongi starts to explain,"I need you to go to
Gronk V and "acquire" something from a minor lord. The item is a small vase, it is in his vault. I need it delivered back here in 3 weeks."

 

[meglathon]

"Sure the engines are running at full power, they can go there and back in 1 week, no sweat."
Drake said with plenty of pride in his own work refiting the engines with hyper warp drivers.

 

[bad rider]

"No offense, but if we try and get there in a week theres a couple of astroid belts we have to navigate through. We could pass through a couple of trade settlements, it'll be longer but it should allow us a to pick up a couple of guns for hire."

"Captain, the Medical Bay is stocked and we're ready to go down here" said Aarec one full hour after takeoff. Some voices are heard on the other end of the captains com-link, until Aarec hailed the captain again with "sorry captain, I was taking a nap and missed roll call. Guess I was late reporting in, sorry."
