[I][Center]"Welcome one welcome all to the Orion. I hire from all walks of life as long as you can do a hard days work, but places are limited! We will commence interviews in a few days as the local watering hole be callin' my name if you catch my drift."[/Center][/I] Welcome! this is my new RP Orion a Sci-Fi RP based around a crew of bounty hunters travelling through a perilous galaxy. As this is my first time GM'ing in advanced I want a small tight-knit, dedicated group so if your one to get bored quickly or you have a short attention span I would prefer you to re-think before joining! having said that anyone is welcome :) So the general premise will be a group of Bounty hunters aboard the aforementioned ship the Orion. It will start out pretty typically with one or possibly two missions we have to complete but soon enough an overlying plot will come into play that will pit our crew against a large corporation that will do anything it can to keep the situation under wraps, even if that means killing bounty hunters. The RP will be set across a galaxy, so more than likely multiple solar systems will be involved etc. However there will be no races bar human allowed, something might come to fruition later on which will allow players to make new characters with un-earthly origin but for now I'm just looking for an entirely human crew! Now as you might not normally expect I will not be playing the Captain of the ship, no that position is still open for someone however I will be playing the ships doctor someone who is already part of the crew before any new faces are added. The main reason for this is that I will also be playing the 'Bad guys' as it were, NPC's and other people the crew will interact with as I try to develop the storyline. If someone whose character is accepted (Or for that matter someone who doesn't want a place on the crew) really really wants to help me play these bad guys then send me a PM and we might be able to sort something out :) Anywho this is the end of my Int. Check the actual plot of the RP is a bit sparse I know but that's mainly because I want the major plot points to stay a mystery until you all come across them, no doubt I will use the doctor to point you in the right directions as I want to keep the storyline quite linear although if people want it there is always time to roam free. P.S - This post will be a lot prettier etc when the BBcode is fixed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [I]"Our Galaxy is supposedly 'advanced' whatever that means, we are meant to become more civilized! Alas I find myself upon the ship of a..a Bounty hunter! To think a man of my stature would ever be in the ranks of a man such as he. I'm sorry, I shouldn't continue...he might hear me." "Welcome to the Orion! This used to be a military vessel but our captain managed to use his haggling skills to get it, or so he says. I am Doctor Natan Koenig of the Urius sector, I was educated on Titan and I am the serving physician on this ship for as long as...well as soon as I can get off. This crew of 'Bounty hunters' so they call themselves is a tight knit group who will stop at nothing to get the job done! or so our brochure would suggest. Truth be told we are here to hire because our last crew, or at least some of it's members were not exactly the 'cream of the crop' and as such they did not have a very long expiry date. We want men who are loyal, brave and above all else...hygienic! I've had enough of great sweaty apes forcing me to tend to their every scratch and bruise, the least you can do is clean yourself. Now we have contracts with certain people in certain places and if we complete these contracts we will get paid, I'm sure you all recognize the incentive. If we do not complete these contracts then I'm afraid we will be lacking in our obligations and not only will we not get paid but we will probably lose something to boot, a finger perhaps." "The Captain for want of a better word is a 'fine' man. He will lead you and he will look after you as long as you look after him and his ship, if you do not respect these rules then there is an override for the airlock. Our first mission will entail us travelling to Orzo the blue star sector! It isn't so far from here so I expect we will be finished in a week or two, performances depending. Our work is not...well it isn't Illegal but it tends to be frowned upon by most societies. Stealing husbands and wives in the middle of gunfights will bring that sort of attitude. All we have to do is make sure we harm no one but the mark! and if you happen to lay eyes upon authorities just leave the talking to either myself or the good captain." "Now I'm sure your all just aching to meet the man himself, potential new employee's I present your captain...." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Hider=Ship Picture][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/FVKnBZA.jpg[/IMG][/Hider] - Crew Wanted - Captain Doctor Pilot/Navigator Weapons/Muscle Engineer/Mechanic - Accepted Characters - Natan Koenig - Everblight - Skeleton Character Sheet - -Name- -Age- -Job- -Appearance- -Personality- -Specialties- -Shortcomings- -History- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Center]- My Character -[/Center] [B][U]- Name -[/U][/B] Natan Koenig [U][B]- Age -[/U][/B] 42 [U][B]- Job -[/U][/B] Ship Physician and Doctor [U][B]- Appearance -[/U][/B] [Hider=Appearance][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/K09uSul.jpg[/IMG][/Hider] [U][B]- Personality -[/U][/B] Dr. Koenig is a very smart man and he doesn't shy away from telling that to others, it sometimes gets to his head however and he begins to speak incredibly sarcastically to those he believes won't understand anything technical. Having said that Natan is very small and frail and at the slightest note of a threat he backs down and becomes the nicest man on the ship. Dr. Koenig is generally stationed on the ship during missions and awaits the teams return with whoever has been inadvertently shot up. He keeps this ship in check and is generally in contact with the team via the ships communications whilst they are out and about. Natan loves this time he has alone on the ship as he doesn't have to put up with the large oafs or dirty thugs and when he isn't in the immediate vicinity of the team he can say whatever he likes. When Natan is called to do his job however his demeanor changes. He becomes incredibly focused and all his sarcasm and doubt diminish as he completely applies himself to the situation. He is incredibly capable and thankfully, with a fully stocked medical station on the ship he is highly successful at healing and recuperating the team after mission. [U][B]- Specialties -[/U][/B] - Biological knowledge - Medical practitioner - Highly Intelligent [U][B]- Shortcomings -[/U][/B] - Weak - Annoying and sarcastic - Pacifist [U][B]- History -[/U][/B] Natan Koenig was born in the Urius sector, a cluster of small planets that are close to their sun. Natan was raised on the furthest planet in the sector, only one of two which is actually livable as its distance from the star allows the surface to drop to survivable temperatures. Born into a high standing family Natan was already destined for the grandiose and majestic life. To be the personal physician to the most famous people, to serve the high ranking officials of the Terra sector. This was always his dream and as such he was sent to what is largely believed to be the most prominent learning center in the galaxy. The moon of Titan was inhabited centuries ago and has developed into an incredibly diverse and utilized world. It has become somewhat of a 'snobby' place in which only the best of the best live and as such the Titan institute of knowledge or T.I.K was founded and advertised as the one place to send the youth of the future. Natan studied for years at T.I.K and finally graduated with honors, allowing him to become a fine doctor and follow his dreams. Unfortunately for Natan things did not turn out so successfully for him. Whilst upon a transport ship a terrible encounter with pirates happened to cross paths with the convoy. Natan found himself in captivity by these pirates with them knowing he was worth more than the rest he was kept alive. Thankfully the captivity was short-lived as his family back home had the sway to assign some rather horrible men themselves to get their beloved Natan back. It was at this point that Natan met the captain. Natan was saved however the crew of the Orion were demolished only a few survived. Dr. Koenig was taken home by the sole survivors of the encounter and when they reached the Urius sector an uncomfortable air arose. The captain of the Orion was not happy, he did not now the extent of the situation and the fact that cut-throat pilots were to blame and who he would have to tackle to complete his contract, a consequence of this misinformation he demanded a higher payment than what was agreed however the family could not pay such a steep price. It was in this moment that Natan made his worst mistake, he offered to be a part time crew member aboard the Orion, at least until new people were found in return for the extra payment the Captain desired. Koenig was a very established physician, the Orion would surely be the first bounty hunter ship to hold such a prestigious person as a crew member and as such the captain agreed to the offer, much to Natans horror.
