In 2030, the lonely isolate planet of Earth sent its first brave men and women to Mars, and 30 years after that, the United Nations sent a dozen more crews to the Red Planet to start colonizing. This was the birth of modern human space travel. It took them another hundred years to travel past Mars, and in 2338 humans set another milestone. They finally figured out the key to galactic travel. So, Mankind embarked on the greatest and biggest expedition it has ever devised. They set out into the unknown. It didn't take long for extra-terrestrial life to find and come into contact with the humans. The human race discovered an organization called the Galactic Committee; hundreds of thousands of different alien species and planets that agreed to universal law to maintain peace within the galaxy. In a matter of twenty years, humans added their influence to the galaxy by electing the first human diplomat into the Committee Council.

The year is now 2478, 120 years after humans joined the Committee. Ever since the humans were discovered, there was a rise in treaties, prosperity, and peace. They have allies, they have exchanged technology, and it truly was the Human's Golden Age... But like every civilization, not everything was perfect. There are some alien races that have not accepted the Committee's terms and keep to themselves, other races have become intergalactic pirates. Planets will have their wars, diplomats will disagree, and so on.

Something that had always captivated young or curious adventurers was the Interstellar Exploration Fleet, a branch of the Galactic Committee that promoted adventure, discovery, and science. As the years went on, more and more deaths emerged the farther teams would set out into the unknown. The morale of the program diminished, funding was a topic within the Council, and people were less willing to volunteer, or enroll in the Program.

In desperation, the Director of the IEF proposed a solution to help with volunteering. Certain criminals with certain skills or abilities that were found guilty of their crimes had an option. Rot in a prison cell, or join an Expedition Force in the IEP. Through much debate, the Council agreed under certain guidelines. Any form of mutiny, or rebellion was returned with instant death for them. They were under strict and careful watch, and they must follow rules and laws to the tee. Of course people tried, but failed in gaining their true freedom. If they didn't die from mutiny, space pirates, hostile environments, and other complications by going into the unknown would have killed them. For some teams, joining the Program was like jumping front in line for death row.

There has been success, however.

They are called the Marauders. Led by a fallen hero, a team of criminals and adventurers have beaten the odds, and have been the longest surviving expedition unit in the IEP. They have been known for making breakthroughs, dissolving galactic conflict, and fighting against pirates. Each member has decided to join the team for different reasons, but one thing is clear: They have become a symbol for hope, discovery, and second chances for the entire galaxy.

Will you join the Marauders, and continue their legacy?

LORE:









RULES:

1) Although I classified the six major species in the Galaxy, you don't have to be those six! You can make your own race of alien, you just have to run it by me before! And don't make it a "god race" where it is perfect and nothing can harm/kill it!

2) This RP is going to really be story driven! So please no simple sentences for posts! I prefer quality over quantity, but "He went into the room" is not a good way to keep the story going!

3) Don't be mean to each other! Respect is important here! So if you have a problem with someone, either talk it out in a PM or let me or the Co-GM's know so they can handle it as well!

4) This will have a ton of different elements in it! Romance, action, humor, adventure, drama, and more! So this isn't for the young kiddos out there! haha

5) Due to difficulties in the past, there won't be anyone with the same team position, so no Co-Doctor, pilot, etc. It limits what certain people do and how they interact with the rest of the crew.

6) SOME JOBS WILL BE MORE ACTIVE THAN OTHERS! It's not because no one likes you. But if you're committed, and talk to the Co/GM then i promise no one will be left out!

7) We would really like committed people to join this, people who will stick with this, because it makes it more fun for everyone! But if anything happens, or you have to leave, please let us know, it'll help the transitions

8)There will be times in the RP where we will go to stop at a port or at the Spire, this will be the time when people can leave the RP, or join, me and the Co-GM will keep everyone updated when that happens

9) If you have any questions regarding the RP me and the Co-GM's are more than willing to help out in any way!

10) if you are going to be gone for a certain amount of time, please tell us before hand! Also little status updates are helpful too! It shows us who is still interested and wants to keep moving on, or of something got in the way of you posting!

11) Until we know how many people are going to be in this RP, please limit yourself to one character Unless you talk to me or the Co-GM

CHARACTER SHEET:

Name:
AKA: optional
Age:
Race: Human, Tu'Veeri, Yhei, etc. can make up your own
Appearance:
Faction: Marauder, Criminal, Bounty Hunter, Committee member/soldier, etc.
Role in Team?: Marauder only. Examples are Doctor, Mechanic, Pilot, Guns expert, etc.
Bio: Doesnt have to be long.

Other:

----------------------------------------------

Name: Raymond Chase

AKA: Atlas

Age: 28

Race: Human

Appearance:


--Raymond also has a nasty burnt scar in the shape of an "M" on the side of his neck. It was the mark of a murderer on the Rock.

Faction: Marauder

Role in Team?: Captain, but his military training makes him an expert in combat, assault-class flying, and negotiations.

Bio:

Personality: Raymond is no doubt witty, honorable, and determined. His dry sense of humor, and sarcastic tones leaves him in trouble with the Galactic Committee, but a good drinking buddy to his crew. He still feels an immense amount of guilt for many things, including his mother's death, the ambush on Neera, and his sister's hatred for him. He has a more pessimistic view on the world around him, but when given the chance, he won't disappoint anyone who puts faith in him. He's a natural leader, a born fighter, and there's little that can stop him.

Weapons: Raymond is equipped with a standard issue Committee Fleet battle rifle that collapses when its placed on his back holster. His primary weapon of choice is a revolver that changes from incendiary, electric, and frost bullets. It was passed on in his family for generations. He named it Lady Luck

Family/Relationship?: Raymond only has one known living relative, and that is his sister, Paige Chase. She refuses to talk to him, and blames him for the death of their mother. He also has a complicated relationship with the Monroe's Doctor, Luirae Driani. They have known each since Raymond was put in charge of the ship, and only she knows the full story of Ray's past. Because of his sentence, and status as a prisoner, he has not made his feelings clear to anyone.

Other: Raymond has a collection of old Earth records--mostly 1950's big band and 1980's rock.

@Jones Sparrowcool!

I figured if this is a ship of criminals one of them should be a genuine criminal, might as well make them a non-repentant one either!

i added a bit more flair to her weapons and posted her over to the Characters

That's good because I have a concept who's not a criminal, probably will be the gunner. ^_^

i think we might need another male character, otherwise it's going to look like a weird romance TV where one handsome, charming human male captain is surrounded by various females of other species with different personalities reflecting their species

i'm not sure if that's what you're going for, but if it is i'll have to prepare myself

I can tell you that is most definitely not the plan. I just can’t make another male or I would. My guys come out....awkward and not in the cute way. The other way they come out is corny and overly romantic. I have no idea why but it isn’t pretty. We have one more person that still needs to make a sheet soooo hopefully they are making a male. If not, I’ll see if Jones can take on another male role.
