13 may 2103 -
Today humanity first spaceship with faster than light travel possibilities is going to launch for it's first mission.
You have spent years since the project started to prepare for this day as you're among the forty chosen for this task.
You can see tachyon engines being slowly charged as you enter the corridor leading to the ship from your lunar training facility.
Now that hangar that was hiding it during construction is disassembled you can clearly see it's nearly the size of the rest of the base. Four Decks high and over mile long this gray colossus will be your home for a very long time.
Who knows where it will take you...

So basically you get a starship and a goal of exploring the galaxy and putting these funny Earth flags everywhere. I guess you should also vote for ship's name.
Skill advancement is pretty simple : Basic skills net you +1 to the rolls 6 natural  5s or 6s  (and 4 if train only action)  makes it +2 , then you have to roll 8 5/6's for +3 and so on with each bonus point, rolls needed rise by two. You gain new skills that don't need long studies after 4 5/6's.
Rolls could get modifier depending on their difficulty from -3 to +3.  If something's unclear i'll try to answer and clarify.

[Tarran]

This reminds me of my own RTD that failed. But I don't expect the same fate with this one.

Anyway, yay for exploration!

[_DivideByZero_]

Name: Natik Zarakar
Bio: Natik (Nathan in his language) is a rather vertically challenged Caucasian scientist of an unknown nationality. Known for his ridiculous inventions, he was both ridiculed and praised by the scientific community. His decision to join the space marine program startled many, but since he had few friends to begin with only few missed him.
Personnel Class: Mechanics/Technology Support
Skills: Proficient Electronics Technician | Skilled Geologist | Unquestionably Weak
Inventory: Lab Coat | Kevlar Vest | Robotic Arm | Centrifugal HMG* | Tachyon Bolter** | Various Dangerous Chemicals | Glasses | Pen w/ reactive ink*** | Ammo

*This is a machine gun with a built-in centrifuge that disperses kinetic energy from the gun in all directions using a special lubricant. This allows it to fire high-caliber rounds with minimal recoil. The downside? It shakes like around like a spaz when you fire it, so while it will save your shoulder, it's not too accurate.
**This thing is mounted on his arm, and can fire a large bolt of concentrated tachyons every once in a while, making for a perfect kinetic weapon to start a fight with.
***The pen is there as a backup weapon, its ink reacts with iron oxide in blood--creating extreme heat--making it perfect for backstabbing people.

[Tarran]

DivideByZero, I believe he only allows a player to play one class.

And I don't believe he listed any penalties or need for any.

[Krath]

Name: Hal Jacob
Bio: A popular indie game developer from America (creating classics such as 'Elf Fortress' and '100,000 ways to die'!), he was recruited by the military shortly after his computing genius was discovered. He's amazing with computers and technology and can make all sorts of software, including AI for his custom scouting drones. He's also a huge giant robot fan and has various model kits and 1/100 scale figures that he brought with him onto the ship.

Oh, well...
I don't really like class based systems in general anyhow. Count me out.

[Frelock]

Name: Seamus O'Irish
Bio: Seamus has been shifted around from post to post in the military for 7 years now.  Not because of any lack of talent; on the contrary, his skills with mechanical systems leave everyone jealous.  And that's the problem: he always outclasses his superiors, and makes sure they never forget it.  Because of that, he has never gotten a promotion, until now.  Of course, he developed a sizable chunk of the theory that made the tachyon engine possible, so it was somewhat impossible to keep him off the ship anyway.
Personnel Class : Engineering
Skills: Engines Expert, Life-support systems Expert
Personal Equipment: Spanner; toolbox with assorted wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers, soldering irons, tachyon sensors, random spare parts, and hammers; diagnostic computer w/universal interface.

[wolfchild]

Name: Dr Schweitzer Zimmerman (Who can get the refference?)
Bio: Dr Zimmerman has recently left working at a hospital, because he yearns for something new, where he worked he was the best surgeon and a more than decent microbiologist, when he heard of the historic flight, he thought that his talents could be useful if anyone had medical issues on the journey
Personelle Class: Science

Personal Equipment: Field Surgery Kit, Large Quantities of Antibiotics, disinfectants, imunosuprresers and painkillers, Well protected light microscope with multiple lenses, the most close lense being a total of times 1000 but requiring oil immersion, some blank microscope slides, tweezers, small rods etc, for use with microscope, several books, both practical and fiction.

[Strife26]

May I have a character with both military type skills and a theoretical knowledge of all the advanced faster than light traveling stuff? If it's not acceptable, I can change him or disappear into the night, whichever.

Name: Strife
Bio: An UAA Agent of some sort. Strife isn't the most open about his background, and his dossier shows just about everything as classified. He's polite, friendly and proper to everyone he meets, if possessing cold eyes and being somewhat distant. No one is actually sure where he fits on the chain of command, but he's known to know a fair bit about a lot of different topics, strange and not. Especially interesting is an understanding of how the engines work, which is bloody complicated physics to say the least. Wears a long coat of military cut around all the time, and is known to keep all sorts of things in his pockets.
Class: Military
Skills: Assault rifle expert, Engine expert
Personal Equipment: Greatcoat, KM14 Assault Rifle, M15 Shortened Pistol, Specialized radio (cinder block size, able to work off alternate frequencies), Communications earpiece (can run off his radio or the shipboard systems), one soft cover book (Red Storm Rising), a personal music player, several changes of underclothes, a pair of black combat boots, an emergency vacuum exposure kit (air source, supplies to make a set of clothes air tight, gloves, and a mask), a small cactus in a pot, a gyroscope, a scabbarded sword, a knife, a multitool, a length of 550 cord, a lighter, and a flashlight.

[Talarion]

Sounds interesting, I'll join if there's still a spot left.

Name: Jacob Zeikas
Bio: Jacob was raised in a small town on Earth, Australia.  When he was 14, his talent for science was discovered, as he could remember and grasp nearly every concept in the field of physics with little to no difficulty. As he got deeper into the field, it became harder and harder for him... Not because of the subject, but because of the knowledge: There wasn't enough for him. He quickly grew conceited, creating his own theories and pushing to have them proven. Alot of his peers disputed his claims, only for him to prove them to the world again and again. And he was still in his early twenties. He was hailed as one of the greatest physicists since the founders of the subject; Since Einstein and Newton, along with some others of his generation. His most famous discovery was that of what is considered 'The Best' superconductor, an alloy of copper, gold, silver, and surprisingly, Cadmium. Even in room temperature, this alloy conducted electricity better than all other superconductors, which need to be at negative temperature. Of course, when he pushed for a spot on this flight, at the age of 26, noone could refuse him. So, he got the training that was required... and here he is.
Personnel Class: Scientific
Skills: Physicist, Ambidextrous
Personal Equipment: Personal Laptop, Various tools, A pair of glasses with a minature computer built in with the display on the lenses, and an AI to go with it (Custom-built), A golden chain with an amulet on the end, various spare parts for his personal electronics and should they be required for the trip, any clothes he will want and/or need, and a backup AI for his lens-computer. (Assuming AI's have been developed alot.)

Hope this is okay. ^^ Also assuming a number of things, like that superconductors havent been perfected already, and alot of things are still to be discovered in the field of physics. I like physics, and I couldn't resist... Also, question: Could I get a kind of techy ability that would normally be classed under Engineering rather than Ambidexterity? Because Physics and Electronics are closely linked, and I'd see my character as working on electronics and computers in his offtime, as a hobby and a break from all of his research into physics. He wouldn't be as proficient as the dedicated Engineers, but he'd be able to grasp most concepts easily and help out and learn anything he didn't know already. ^^

You're not actually going to take 40 players right? Put me on the waiting list if there's no space left.
Also reminded me of something...Anyway, good luck!
