You're a criminal, a convicted one at that, you did something terrible enough that you were volunteered. Or, you're not a criminal, and you're crazy enough to actually volunteer. See, space opened to us many years ago, we actually got our shit together and left our little homeworld, first came Mars, next came some moons, then we went outside of our own star system, FTL is a thing of immense wonder. Amazingly enough, we encountered intelligent life, aliens, E.T.s, but they weren't little green men, they were friendly, if they weren't then we would've been turned to space dust, no doubt about it. From that first meeting we encountered others, humanity didn't try to blow up any of them either, turns out when we put our whole race in the social aspects of life, we actually succeed. Of course there was the military aspect, no wars though, more like sharing of military secrets, trades between our race and others. Along with a little spying, but we didn't tell them about that. The stuff of science fiction became reality, massive space ships which could carry thousands, energy weapons, even power armor and jetpacks. But let's get back to you, if you're a convicted criminal and you happen to possess a certain set of skills, then you've been selected to join the task force. There's some official name for it, but it's boring and over-complicated, let's just refer to you as a prospective member of Oblivion Squad. The result of the collective brainpower of different species brainstorming an expendable, but skilled force that could fight on the front lines, sneak through the stars or even drop onto a planet. Wanna guess who was the first species to come up with such a thing? Yeah, humanity. See, they offered you freedom if you survive the suicidal task force, but the issue is that you aren't supposed to survive. In fact, I can't recall off the top of my head someone in your position actually surviving the force then getting their freedom. But that won't stop you, I mean, what are you going to do? Turn down the offer and rot in a cell for the rest of your pathetic life? Non criminals may join as well, military personal from either species who passed screenings, testings and several papers to sign, essentially wavering your life away. I'm sure when you did willingly join, they promised a ton of money to be sent you or your family's way. Do you have what it takes to survive Oblivion Squad?
---
So, essentially this is like any other of those sci fi RPs where you create a character and they are put on a ship's crew which goes through the stars. The twist with this RP is that you're a criminal (or someone determined enough to join as a non criminal). It's open to all kinds of criminals, they just have to be skilled. Ex gangsters, thieves, smugglers, assassins, murderers, even terrorists. You think of the criminality, it can probably work. There is a limit though, you can have a former terrorist character, just not an insane one that blew up a whole star system, maybe just a city or something in rebuttal to a corrupt government. If this gets enough interest then I'll add character and race sheets to this post. Ideally I'm looking for 5 - 10 committed people for a character driven, drama filled, plot twisty sci fi epic. I do mean committed, you have to be all in to the RP, it would hurt the RP if you lost all interest and bailed, or just went missing. Also, my character will be the captain of the ship this RP will take place on, other characters should have roles whether they're engineers, doctors, a pilot, etc. So, anyone interested?

If we're allowed to create our own alien species, I've an idea for what could be a fun character. Are you alright with custom races or do you have a defined set already?

Yep, I intended for custom races to fill out the universe in this RP. Must've left that out of the OP...

Custom races, scifi, seemingly open-world. Where do I sign? Edit: I'm assuming there will be surface-world contact. So would that mean our characters get their own personal shuttles for surface activities? Edit 2: Hi Avanhelsing. I worry about the maximum RPer limit. Ten seems a bit much. Why not cap it at five for the start and if it gains more interest over time, make some more slots?

Is the ship we're quartered in big enough to handle strike craft? If so, I'd be delighted if I could make a pilot who would provide fire support planetside, or otherwise compete for air or space superiority against enemy craft.

Yeah, there will be space battles,I'll allow personal star fighters in the hangar of the ship. I'll get the OOC up when I get on my computer in like twenty minutes!

I do. I was PM'd about the question and thought I gave a good enough answer without giving away too much plot information.
