If things get real bad and you have to resort to cannibalism remember: Vegans first, they are the closest thing to grass fed.

Bio

✾ 𝙻𝚊𝚍𝚢 𝙰𝚋𝚜𝚒𝚗𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚊
Keep moving forward ۩
⚘ A Brief History
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
I've been at this a long time and when I say a long time I mean a long long damn time. I started out with table top, ADnD, back in the 80's, then dived into others: Nightlife, Mage the Ascension, Shadow Run, HoL, etc. Moved onto Online in the 90's. I've been running various incarnations of a single RP group for twenty years now. Worked helping setting up, building, and/or admining/modding various RP forums over the years: Adventure Quest, Priston Tales, War Gods, etc. It's been a long road filled with ups and downs. I'm an evil GM, you've been warned.

Outside of RP, I am a mom. Yup, I've reproduced and there are little Lady A's running around plotting their own take over of the world. I am a published author and once upon a time an award winning poet. I've done a lot in my life. I haven't done as much as I would like. I've grown a lot. I have a lot more growing to do. I love to cook, baker by trade currently. I went to university and majored in Mathematics. I've programmed websites, worked as a model, worked as a 3d modeler. Shit, I even used to dance. And have been known to sing a bit. Jack of all trades. Master of like 3, lol.


⚘ Looking Inside
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This is where I go into my personality. In the past I would normally make some self deprecating remark about how I am a bitch of a GM, pushing my rpers as hard as I push myself and so forth. Not anymore. People change, or perhaps they just come into their own. This can happen at any age. More than that it can happen several times over the course of your life as you discover and rediscover yourself. Everything happens for a reason, usually that reason is ones owns actions. Or inaction's. Right now, I am in a better place than I can remember being in the longest time. I am happy and at peace. I have no regrets. Maybe I should but I don't. I plan on keeping this peace I have found, I went far too long without it.

Currently I am enjoying several things. Some are things I have enjoyed most of my life: Coffee, chocolate, bacon, M*A*S*H. One isn't something I have enjoyed since I was seventeen: being clean and free of poisons in my system. It is beyond description and I love it: One-hundred and twenty days and counting. Music taste is shifting to more mood oriented than anything, strange I am finding a lot of newer Country I am enjoying and I have NEVER liked country. Watching things like Lark Rise to Candleford and being hooked to the point of reading the trilogy. Recently added yoga to my workouts and all I can say is, "Fuckmaste: the fucked up in me accepts the fucked up in you."

@Pundii Sweet, I just finished Captains CS and added to my CS topic. This is gonna be fun.




Anyone already working on a CS - Can you let me know what position you are wanting to go for so I can make note of it.
@Pundii Captain Tightpants has arrived!!!! ~does a happy dance~
@Peaceless I think it would depend on the cybernetics. No enhancements or anything, just basic functions I will allow though. Prosthetic's basically but with the tech on the show, I can go with they would function pretty normally. Drawings are okay but I would steer away from anything Anime like since this is a Slice Of Life type Rp, you are going to want things that look realistic. Large eyes wouldn't work for this, or people that say that they are in their 20's and look 16.
@Peaceless Yeah, thankfully the long list helps keep things going; most of mine currently that I am running are between the 3 and 7 month mark on the forum ~knock on wood~

There are a couple of links provided - one right above the CS that has the skills listed out that can be used. The other is to the Firefly Wiki where the planets are listed. You can pretty much find anything there. Granted a quick google search will probably yield you with a crap ton of information. (And I always recommend Firefly the series or Serenity the movie, lol RP or not, that was good stuff :P) - If you have any concerns or anything, just drop me a line. It is pretty straight forward. Space Western, space ships but wild west areas and dress, all human races, no magics or anything to deal with.
@Peaceless Looks like you are back after an extended hiatus but looking at what you did before the break everything seems fine to me. I don't see a problem there.

OOC - After Miranda OOC


Premise


Mr. Universe said nothing can stop the signal. He was right. The recordings from what happened on Miranda were sent out and flooded the 'Verse. Everyone knew now. They knew of the Pax, how it destroyed so many lives, how it created the Reavers, how the Alliance was behind it. We now have seen what a world without Sin truly looked like. It was anything but the paradise that some had hoped for. Nothing can stop the signal.

It has been three years since the crew of Serenity sent out the signal and lost several of their own in the fight to do so. A new war has broken out, the Browncoats had pulled back together to stop the Alliance with more fervor than ever. They have more behind them than ever and even more opposing them. Many of the population has rioted against the Alliance for what they have done, a veil pulled off from over their eyes to see the truth. Yet some still cling to what the Alliance feeds them.

The crew of Serenity is still out there, somewhere, but do not be concerned about them. Right now, your job is to chose a side and to survive.



Overview

Setting: The 'Verse
Time Frame: 3 years after Miranda's fate was broadcast
Rp Tags: Sci-fi, Fandom, Space Western, High Casual, Large Group, Character Driven, Military, Slice-Of-Life
Type Of RP: A Twist on the Firefly Fandom set at the beginning of a new war that has broken out between the Browncoats and the Alliance.

We will start out in two divisions; The Alliance and The Crew of Vengeance.

The Alliance is made up of the rich and powerful, those that are fighting for unification still to this day. They will do anything to stop the signal and to put an end to the Independents known as Browncoats once and for all. People in the Alliance have lived privileged lives. Never having gone hungry. They are highly educated in their fields and some can be quite ruthless in their tactics.

The Crew Of Vengeance are a mixed bunch. Most are Browncoats, some fought in the previous war. All are smugglers at this point no matter what brought them onto the ship. Most will have a record with the Alliance and be targets; though a handful may not. This crew has been together and took over much of Serenity's known stopping points after Miranda was released. A rag tag group of people that some are not sure they want to be part of this war or not yet, but they stick together because Vengeance is home.

Both sides in this Rp will be faced with various tasks to complete; from information acquisition to smuggling weapons. It is up to you which side you want to play but remember, at any time you can switch sides. (If the price is right and it fits your characters personality and circumstances.) - So in truth, you never know who is on who's side.

War is raging on many of the planets. The Rim planets are nearly over run with a sudden rise in the Reaver Population. People are fighting to stay alive or to die before the Reavers get them. The Border planets are constantly either under attack by the Alliance because they rebelled or switching sides so quickly no one knows where they stand. The Core has even broken out in war and rebellion this time. Many of the planets wanting to break free of the Alliances control, while others are standing strong and refusing to leave; fighting for unification and providing much of the Alliances weapons and military force.

What will happen is up to you. How you react to the situations, what information you can gather for what ever side you are playing for, what goods and services you can get together. Thing is, even though a war is ragging, you still have to survive life itself. Even if you are in a zone where it is peaceful low food, fuel and supply stocks are constantly plaguing the Browncoats. The Alliance is not without problem either; with the sudden shift of some people you never know who you can trust; your best friend, your wife, could suddenly turn on you. High ranking Alliance members are dropping like flies and no one knows who is doing the killing yet.

Now, get your shit together and let's get moving. The 'Verse is counting on you.

Amy Chang

Location: Town Center
Interacting With: Raving Idiots



Climbing out of the back of one of the ambulances with the ball bat in one hand and her medical kit in the other Amy looked around at the chaos going on at the Town Center. "What in holy fucking hell?" she asked herself before she started to organize things. There were not enough ambulances to get everyone to the ER right then, the place was over crowded and with so many medical professionals, along with others, making a run for it she just would have to set up a make shift base camp right then and perform her bad ass healing right there on the streets. Hopefully no one would think she was making human sacrifices; she had had to deal with enough today already. Maybe earthquakes weren't so bad after all?

"Alright, make a run two you. Tag them Green, yellow, red, or black. Greens can get the fuck out of here. Yellows can wait until later. Reds, tag and haul their asses to me. Black, toe tag them for the morgue," Dr. Chang instructed of the EMT's that were there with her that were not already setting up gurneys and make shift tables for her to work on as people started to try to crowd in on her complaining of bumps and bruises.

"Shut the fuck up! If have enough energy to bitch about a wound and walk over here you are healthy enough to go the hell home and have your momma kiss your boo-boo!" Amy barked out at the numerous people clamoring for her and the Emt's to help. God she hated emergency medicine.

"GSW to the chest, possible pneumothorax," an emt said as he carried a girl over bridal style in his arms and set her down as gently as he could moving as fast as he could on the gurney near Dr. Chang. Amy nodded and went to work. The girl was unconscious, which Amy was more than grateful for. The last thing she needed was the girl to be screaming and crying as she dug out the bullet, cut into her chest by the rips to shove a tube into the place between her lungs so it could re-inflate.

"Doc, what about this one?" another EMT said as he helped a man hobble over. He was shot as well, in the thigh but the bleeding was nearly out of control. Amy looked over but went back to work on the girl as they set up Iv's for her. She hoped that the ER had things under control but there was nothing she could right then to help them. She had to focus on the chaos around her. Packs applied, lung inflated, she moved over to the man as the EMT's rushed the girl off to the hospital. They didn't bother with the ambulance, just pushing the gurney and rushing off. With the way people were freaking out in the chaos, driving would probably take longer than just running at this point and no more dangerous; well hopefully no more but people were stupid.

"Fuck, the bullet hit the femoral artery. You two, hold him down, I get kicked you'll need a doctor," she warned as she changed out gloves as quickly as she could before grabbing a suture kit and a scalpel. Wasn't today just a barrel full of fun?



Danica Graves

Location: Inside the ER
Interacting With: @Sohtem



The nurse was focused on her work and Danica's screaming; so focused she hadn't noticed the teeth. That was until Elizabeth took the latex band from her arm. Looking up she saw the girl speaking and saw the teeth. That was all Oh screw this, my name won't be Bloody Mary needed to sending her running from the room screaming in horror about a monster down the halls of the ER and running straight into a wall, knocking herself out and falling to the flood as the darkness took her.

Danica gripped the chair, the pain getting worse as Elizabeth came over to her. "Bubble bitch! Personal bubble!" Danica snapped as she placed her feet on the ground firmly and shoved backwards in her chair, sending it sliding across the floor until it hit the wall a good ten feet from Elizabeth. Grunting she took a deep breath. At least the pain let up some.

"You're giving me the worst case of PMS in history," she grumbled as she took a deep breath, maybe she should take up Lamaze classes. "I swear, you use those teeth and say anything along the lines of the better to eat you with we are going to have problems. Not that I don't like a pretty girl but I ain't a piece of sushi," she said as she still held her mid section.

She wanted to bolt, or take the woman's head off but she did neither right then. She hadn't felt like this in the woods until she came across red but even then it wasn't bad. She wondered if this whole teeth thing was new or if she was just really damn good at hiding it and the whole attack had made it come out instead of actually changing her. Either way she wasn't about to turn her back on her to run out, at least not just yet.
