On character creation

Thanks for feedback. I will review.
I was torn between it being an application to join the team and an Alliance report. (They have info on everyone!) also do you think there should be a general items section?
Anyway here is my reasons and rebuttal.

Okay now to address the Character Sheet which I as a Table Top GM love but have found might turn away many RPG players in the guild beyond the Advanced threads
"Well let them flee! We will only take the truely interested.Yea I love character creation but understand sometimes it can go too far. I was aiming for an in between that required some depth of thought and commitment. But I will look at simplifying it a bit further.

I love everything up till we reach Personality which often gives Out Of Character information about a character which their friends might know but people who have never met them would have to learn on their own; might I also add most players alter the personalities of their Character as play progresses so that in the end they barely resemble the initial draft.
I have done that very thing! Written up an in depth personality and then totally change it in my very first post. Hopefully your basic likes and dislikes won't change too much but that part is always open for edits and adjustments. Really it's more for me so I can personalise things towards characters.
Love cats? Illegally smuggle 100 of them.
Dislike clowns? Oh fill in as transport for the circus...I won't expect too much in the final section. Just a few lines.

The stats are lovely when you have a dice powered game but confuse a lot of guild members and add a mechanic that might slow the game play. I could see people being asked to rate their Primary to Weakest Stat...IE. Pilots and Gunfighters would prefer Agility over other stats, Brawlers Strength and so on. The weakest stats are the lovely little points where Grunts need Nerds and Nerds need Grunts.
XD I like stats to stop one person being great at everything. If you want to be super bulky it will cost you elsewhere. It also just acts as a comparative value but I won't focus too heavily on them.

Love Talents and would say that they only have two at the most though one might be best 1 good one or 2 little ;)

The quirks are a nice addition but some are personal and might only be known to those that are familiar such as Phobias and Mental Issues. Deformities such as battle scars and such could be listed in the description
If you want to keep it secret PM me but this is here to balance the talent, A scar would only count if it was visible and hindered your appearance. Or a bullet wound that caused a slight limp and hurt in the cold. Maybe your diabetic? But yea feel free to PM it if you want to keep it secret. it should hinder your character in some slight aspect.
Sorry to be so critical but Please understand none of what I’ve pointed out is an area that I can’t deal with if it is your decision to use it all.

I am bored and filled with a need to write about anything.

I'll be a mechanic.

As for who owns the ship, how about one of the criminal contacts from the show? I could see Fanty and Mingo having a crew work for them, or Badger. Or we could boost a ship from Niska, and be on the run.

[Themerlinhawk]

Which sort of begs the question where are we in the time line? cause if we are post serenity all of those people are dead.

Edit: Also if we need my character to fill the Captain role It wouldn't be unreasonable for him to own it given that he's looking to be Ex ASO

[TheUnknowable]

@ThemerlinhawkI'm not sure Niska would have got caught.

If it's post Serenity, though, we could go to Miranda.

[Themerlinhawk]

@TheUnknowableI think it was pretty specific that everyone they had ever worked for had been killed.

@Themerlinhawk

I think they said "anyone that's every sheltered them after a job", which Nizka wouldn't fit in.

@TheUnknowable

My understanding was anyone who offered them a job but that's why I brought it up since It matters when we are in the time line

[Dark Light]

It will be post serenity only in the fact that faith has fallen in the alliance due to large circulation of rumours.
None of the cannon characters exist or will be interacted with.
Just to keep things simple for me.

Express Boat

[Themerlinhawk]

Alright sounds like a plan to me. Makes life much easier

[Dark Light]

How's everyone?
I am working on an opening post.
Should be up in the next few days XD

Are we happy with the available ships?

[Themerlinhawk]

Look fine to me.

[Dark Light]

Core, Border or Rim?

What sort of people are you?
Gotta work out where to start this adventure

[Themerlinhawk]

@Dark Light Core, character is probably an academy cadet prior to the war hence the induction into the ASO. If I need to be from somewhere else though i can make that work.

[Dark Light]

@Themerlinhawk

How's the character concept going?
Just curious as to why he/she left the ASO?

[Lady of Lore]

@Dark Light has good ideas. You all have good ideas! I like this. I like this a lot.

I will be watching / reading / dreaming of participating.

[Dark Light]

@Lady of Lore@Themerlinhawk@RumikoOhara@TheUnknowable

Is that everyone?
I'm shocked there's so little interest in a firefly Rp...

Anyway, _{(gonna pretend it's not me)} and do an OOC thing. XD

[Habibi359]

I too have interest. I haven't seen the movie yet but TV-series 2 times.

@Habibi359

Ah, ya gotta watch the movie! It's awesome! but I need to warn you that main characters do die...

Also welcome to the RP.
I'll cap this with you five. Should be plenty for a full crew
