Roll to Spaceship!
« on: April 26, 2014, 06:14:46 am »

This will be a non-minimalist RTD based around a spaceship, where there is a captain and other crew. The captain can order around the crew, decide where to jump, and etc., while the crew's job varies from their station- a weapon's specialist will decide what weapons to fire, and where to fire them (The ship will have limited ammo). Other jobs would require other things. Anyways, that's enough for now, more information will be posted when the players are chosen.

This will be a first-come-first serve- when I get 8 players, you'll have to wait until one of them dies to play. However, I will pick the captain from the list of players that applied for captain separately- not first-come-first-serve. I'll choose the captain from whichever I think is most appropriate for the game.

Are you applying to be the captain: Yes

Name: Angela Byrne
Physical Description: A bit tall, as well as thin, but in decent enough shape. Her dark auburn hair is neatly trimmed short. She has a tired-looking expression, suiting the sharp features of her face well. A tattoo with a design that brings to mind a wild, coiling vine goes along her right arm.
Backstory: With a history of being a bit of a punk and a distinct lack of experience, Angela had quite a bit of trouble finding a permanent profession. Following a whim, she eventually looked into getting the medical training necessary for becoming an EMT, which soon paid off, getting her a decent enough job, which she has recently spurned for the sake of getting to go on exciting adventures in SPACE.

He is rather quiet regarding his personal past, and is more interested in effectiveness and loyalty than a person's shady sie, unless said shady side bites him in the ass.
Previous Occupation: (This will decide what your character is good at) Tactical officer
Are you applying to be the captain: (Do I really need to explain this one too? No, of course not.) Yes, yes he is.

Name: Lucia Ramsey
Physical Description: a rather fetching, shapely woman in her late thirties, with a confident gait and a very pleasant voice. Unusually well-dressed for somebody on a spaceship.
Backstory: born not too long ago in a rather affluent family back on Earth, Lucia spent most of her early years learning about fine arts, which naturally evolved into a career as an ultraconservative radio show host. Before long, she wanted to get into politics - unfortunately, nobody from her particular part of the political spectrum (a part that is occupied by relatively few, mind you) could really get into politics without getting some stripes in the military first. And so here she is after spending a few years in a military academy - a captain on her first day! Other people should be so lucky, no?
Previous Occupation: Radio DJ
Are you applying to be the captain: Yes!

We need a captain, and people suited to operate weapons and stuff! All we have are engineers and combat people! :P

And a Fantastic Chef

Note: I am SOOO glad something like this has come around again. I thought "The Glorious Unicorn" would be the last spaceship game. And GMing that monster was tough (but hilarious)
