I'm thinking a few months to a year, maybe less for certain people (ex. Previous pilot was killed and new pilot has only been on for a few weeks, last cook was eaten by aliens and new guy just joined that day, etc). Any objections?

I like that idea. Long enough to know each others names (in some cases) but not long enough to know much else about the people.

I'm thinking maybe either the Pilot or the Muscle will have connections; previously conned with or conned by; maybe even just know her name and contact details, my character and after their last companion left/died/got eaten they needed her to fill in. She'd have been there maybe a couple of days so no one would know much about her yet? Anyone up for that/everyone okay with that?
 
Yeah that works for me!

So we all listed and ready?

More or less, yeah. I haven't actually written down any details, but I have a good idea of what I want my character to be. I was kinda set on him being a sort of aquatic person, but haven't found anything to match that. I dunno, we'll see once the OOC is open.
 
A fish person? Like this?

Either way, just submitting an idea.

Anyone else who missed the roundup?
 
I am thinking my character has been with the ship for some time, enough to know the engine and how she works quite well. I am also thinking of making him a mixed breed, but I am not sure about that yet. I may just stick with alchemical enhancements.
 
Is that the adult version of Tiny Tom Fishhead? Highfive if anyone knows what I'm talking about.

But uh.. Round up? I may have missed that.
 
The round up was just me asking who we were going to play and what their position on the ship was before an official character sheet was made, nothing special. Just something to pass the time.

And I'm not sure, found it online a while ago.
 
Oh, okay. Gotcha. And I was just making a joke/referencing a thing I liked. That character died by the end of the short comic he featured in.

And while I love the picture, I was thinking something a but closer to a human's appearance. I'll probably just scrap that idea entirely though. Tomorrow night I'll be able to go online with my laptop instead of my phone, so I should be able to look through pictures without getting frustrated and giving up on page one lol. My cellphone sucks.
 
Haha I know the feeling. Sometimes you need a computer to look stuff up as opposed to just using your phone.

Like a Zora?

I don't mind being a medic but I've never played as one before. I'd probably have to research a bit for the more technical things. As for race, I would just play as a human. Nothing crazy on my end.

Maybe we could start out on a planet, down for repairs and what not, and a few characters can stumble upon the crew in some context. I.E. they're trying to escape their home life or an enemy, they're trying to find a way to make some quick cash, or just traveling to another planet but then shit hits the fan and they end up staying aboard.
 
Hmm... Where have I heard of that scenario before? :3

Kidding, that's a great idea. I was thinking something like that!

Also, @LVL1337N00B, what was with the dislike on this message:

No, you're good. Welcome aboard

?
 
I didn't realize I did it, but am not surprised. My phone was spazzing for a minute while I was typing and I may have touched the rating button by mistake. The keyboard thing flickered a couple of times and the page was bouncing around.

I'll remove it in a sec, sorry.

Edit: If anyone else notices a rating that doesn't seem right, let me know.

Its cool, no worries. Only wondering ^^
 
There we go. Yeah, my phone kind of sucks lol. Only way I can post at home though, sadly.

And yeah, Kairia. Kind of like them. I dunno what exactly though, so I'm just gonna browse around dA and Pinterest tomorrow.

I'll probably just end up making a human.
 
I could be newer. Our like to have a soldiers background if possible, if I read correctly, medic, heavy guns, abd captain are already taken.
 
My character doesn't necessarily have to be a heavy weapons specialist, just saying. Doesn't matter what he/she uses, so long as it gets the job done. Having more than one meathead around to punch guys wouldn't be unusual, if you can't think up a better role.

I see. Well captain isn't "offcially" taken yet because I'm still deciding if I want to play that or just be the pilot
 
I am a major fan of Firefly and it's movie, Serenity. May I join in on this little RP? I already have an idea for my character.
 
Yep, join up!

Okay I think that's gonna be the cut-off for now.
