RP Thread

The year is 2345, and for a long time, space has been opened up for just about anyone. Spacecraft ferry passengers and goods all across the galaxy, from one end of the rim to the other, transporting all kinds of things from colony to colony. The United Earth Governments Space Command handles the galaxy's safety, doing their best to keep the peace and the law. At least when there's not alien governments involved, things get a bit more muddled there. Regardless, they try their hardest, at least the ones who aren't trying to game the system for their own benefit. But no-one can be everywhere in the galaxy at once, and a crime that once flourished on Earth's seas now flourishes in space.

Piracy! Keeping themselves out of the law's way and targeting anything that'll get them rich, space piracy has flourished, especially in the areas further away from galactic center. Space pirates have a reputation for being ruthless, dangerous folk, who will stop at nothing to get their riches! People who shoot first and ask questions later, people who would kill a man as soon as look at them! And the most feared of them all is a deadly women, styling herself after Earth's pirates of the past! Who knows what this fatal female will do to get her booty?!

... Well... maybe "most feared" is an overstatement... as is deadly... and fatal... and woman...

Welcome to the SS Hametsusen! ... Or is it the Captain's Pride... Wait, Yuriko's Will? That just sounds weird! ... The Lollipop, what?!

... So the captain might not have decided on what to call her ship, but it's still a ferocious ship fit for a... er... "ferocious" pirate captain! Equipped with point-lasers and missile launchers and plenty of cargo space for all the loot, this ship and its crew are out to become some of the most infamous pirates in the whole galaxy! Our captain's mission is to make her name known in every spaceport in every colony everywhere! It's... just a matter of actually getting anywhere near that point, really, especially given who our captain actually is...

So, um, this is a space pirate RP! As you might have guessed from the introduction, it's going to be a fairly lighthearted and comedic RP, though not without its serious moments and plots. However, there's a bit of a twist to this one. Everyone will be part of Captain Iwakawa "The Illustrious" Yuriko's crew, and everyone who makes a character is placed on a list, starting with myself. The RP will be organized in "episodes", and with my supervision, each "episode" will be GMed by a different player. This way, I'm certain there will be plenty of variety in the RP as it goes on. When we reach the end of the list, we'll just cycle back to the beginning and everyone will get to go again.

Some notes!:
-Aliens are allowed, but don't get too out-there.
-Feel free to make NPC's! Rival pirates, members of the UEGSC's law enforcement, anything else you think might fit...
-Keep the tone in mind. This is a lighthearted and comedic RP, though not completely absurd and I do expect more serious plots to occur as it goes on. At the same time, I never want to lose sight of a lighthearted tone entirely.
-Don't raid Yuriko's candy stash. You'll make her cranky.

The Captain herself:

Name: Iwakawa "The Illustrious" Yuriko
Age: 17. Well, except she looks like she's ten. Not exactly the most threatening pirate.
Gender: Female
Appearance: "Time for some space piracy!" Yuriko has light red hair, with light skin, gold eyes, and a black-and gold jacket, hat, and skirt. The skull on her hat is white, and she wears black thigh-highs and black-and-gold boots.
Personality: Yuriko is highly ambitious, aggressive, and energetic. She wants to be known as one of the greatest space pirates to ever exist, bar none. However, at the same time, she is as childish as she appears with a fondness for candy and a cheerful disposition. Her aggressive attitude and pursuit of riches and resources would almost be threatening she she did not appear to be a ten-year-old child. Yuriko loves tales of the ancient pirates of the sea, and happily models herself after them. She dislikes being judged by her appearance and treated like a child, in spite of her often childish behaviors, and feels no small amount of jealousy towards those who are physically more mature. At the same time, she often seeks out "busty chicks" for her crew. Yuriko firmly believes that a good pirate should be able to get by on reputation alone, and not have to shoot anyone unless they need to defend themselves. For this purpose, she wants to leave SOS beacons at every raided ship so they get rescued even if their communications are destroyed.
Skills: Yuriko is a surprisingly good strategist, and remarkably intelligent in spite of her childish attitude. She is a fantastic shot with a laser pistol and has skills in fencing.
Equipment: Yuriko carries a laser pistol, a vibrorapier, and the code key for control of the SS Hametsu, Captain's Pride, Yuriko's Will, Lollipop. The code key means that she can, if necessary, completely lock down all ship systems.
Brief Backstory: Yuriko, somehow, won the SS Can't-Decide-a-Name from a rich trader, and was rather incredibly smug about doing so. It was from here that she made her ultimate quest known, that she was going to gather riches and become the ultimate space pirate!

Saber

Saber let out a small sigh. What Archer had said... it was true. If someone threatens others and cannot be halted in any other way, then there was little other choice then to kill them. However... it was not simply a hero's duty to kill those who threatened others. A hero was meant to conduct themselves honorably, to uplift others around them, those they fight alongside. For those who could not protect themselves. For honor. For glory. These were the things a hero fought for. It was not simply about killing your enemy, but it was about all the people you saved by doing so. She could not dismiss Archer's statements, but she could take issue with the way it was presented.

"Even if you must slay your enemy," she began, glancing from Vash, to Archer, "It isn't about the death you have caused. It's about the people you have saved, the ones you fight to protect. It's about those who fight alongside you. You must uplift your allies, with honor and glory on the battlefield. It's not the act of killing that you must place your focus on, though a life must not be taken lightly. It's the act of saving the lives of those in danger."

Saber knew of the hardship Archer had faced, and how it had changed him. That's why everything here was so very, very important to him. However... Sorin had approached, and presented his hypothetical situation. Saber narrowed her eyes.

"If such a person cannot limit themselves to those who threaten them, if such a person attacks the innocent," she replied, "Then there is no question. They must be stopped."
