Ship Name: The Revenge

Ship Design: Shadow Wolf Light Recon Cruiser. Armed with 12 missile tubes, and an array of point defense guns that can be uses offensively in a pinch.

Your Characters Role on Board: Currently I have no plans to make a character (subject to change) for the boat. I will be bringing my doctor character over from the FS archive, and probably NPC a couple auxiliary crew.

Style of Ship: Robin Hood esque pirate ship! Primarily hunting Alliance supply ships, and the ships of those who would have profited off of the Miranda project. Most of the goods and profits from the prizes they take are then distributing to those in need along the rim. When those particular targets do not present themselves they will of course go after smugglers and other targets of opportunity as well.

Role play style: Lot of action. Prizes will be identified and taken, boarding actions, etc. Still plenty of room for character drama and development and stuff though.

Style of Narration: This part I am honestly not sure about, since its my first time narrating. I think I am going to shoot for a character driven story, with me supporting with NPCs and info and things (and narrating story stuff where needed of course), but we shall see how it plays out.

EDIT
Posting Speed: Ideally I would like 2 posts per week, but I understand some of us are more busy than others, so I will say 1 post per week at minimum. I would like to keep things from stalling out, so if you are unable to make that posting deadline the story may move forward and pull your character along as necessary.
END EDIT

Crew
Narrator: Axe
Captain: Melody Turner (Lomari)

Rasputin
CHARACTERS

Scout

Oh damn, here we go... I just realized have a hacker type character concept from a while back who might fit this ship. Can you reserve the tech specialist spot for me while I mull things over and decide if I should throw him/her in? I'm having a busy week but should be able to get to it next week. :)

They're not a very action-oriented character at the moment though. I could try to give them some backstory that would justify combat skills, or alternatively they could provide some contrast to the more weapon savvy characters.

I like the idea of a contrast. 💕

I would like to get in on this.

What do you want?

I have..

Akiko Kojima - a high concept character: ninja child from a hidden Greenleaf village (yes, I was watching a lot of Naruto) so I understand if it's too much of a melding of genres, she's an experiment, for sure. Gunhand, well, bladehand.

Mara Blake - a recently widowed Browncoat terrorist, which is basically a pirate anyway. She could make a great QM.

Roberta "Bobby" Quick - I really love this chick and haven't been able to play her on this version of FS so I could re-apply her with a different skill set (she's currently a tech spec). It doesn't matter what her job is to me; it's only important to her character that she found a specialty at university and worked at it until she was great but chose to pursue travel and adventure instead of planet life. So maybe she has a business degree and could fit as QM or I don't know whatever else.

Based on your descriptions I'd agree and say Mara or Bobby as well.

Cool cool

If it's Mara, she would need to have a character connection with someone on board. Someone that she could go to when she was in trouble, someone she could call when she loses everything. Someone who would know about or perhaps be involved with her anti-Alliance terrorist activities.

Who's up for it?

Well if you decide to go with Mara, maybe Chris? Since he was a member of a Browncoat special operations unit. Maybe they worked together on some ops? Or maybe he was the Medic who saved her life at Serenity Valley? I could also re work his history a little, right now I think it still has him set up to intro to The Hound.

Isa could also maybe fit the bill? (not to speak for Helena or anything)

Nope Isa would work, might've known her from her smuggling days? Brought her supplies?

Ooh I have ideas!

;D


So the Medic who saved Mara's life is already part of a backstory prologue... I could easily reboot it as it might be nice to have that sort of indebtedness from Mara to Chris if you like - but I'd be happy if they were just war buddies.

Either way, I'd love for Mara to have met Chris first when he first got called to combat. I would love for her to have seen him green and so full of desire to fight the Alliance. I imagine she would have had a reputation by then as a pretty fierce fighter herself, solid soldier, inspiring leader. Maybe he was initially on her unit until he was recruited for Spec Ops.

Then, after the war, when she was determined to keep fighting I could see them having had a great debate. Chris arguing that the Alliance is still just people; Mara adamant that those people needed to be punished.

When her group gets wiped out by the Alliance in the present time, Chris would be a great contact. She would have probably kept in slight contact with him, know he is a medic on a ship somewhere, ask for a ride.


Now, as for Isa... So... I think Mara would dislike her because she fought for the Alliance. The fact that Isa has switched sides would mean that Mara would be willing to join her but would probably never fully trust her. I think that will be such a great dynamic. How do you feel Helena?

I'm not sure about them having crossed paths before. Perhaps, maybe Mara was kind of forced to deal with Isa because she needed something she was smuggling or was ordered to or something. But Mara is the kind of woman that might have worked with Isa and spat in her face once the job was done. Maybe that would be crossing a line?

Haha I'm fine with that itd be quite combative.  She probably also wouldn't like Melody the xo if that the case. Since she and melody served together.

My character doesn't have a military background so they'd probably be a new addition to the group. Maybe someone recently hired because they're on a job that could use someone with the tech savvy.

They're a whistleblower of some kind and unhappy about the way the Alliance runs things. Anti government but in a less violent manner. Still working out the details.

Melody loves conflict. So I'm totally down for whatever comes our way! Also, conflict is fun/makes for good stories! :D

Whatever anyone decides, I'm flexible! I'll adapt!
