@BenG85 So are we missing two or three in the CS thread? Also, when did you want to pick up RP? After the crash landing?

Firefly - Second 'Verse

Hey all! I figured I'd provide some information that I would have found helpful out of the gate when I started RPing with a group like this.

As you all can probably tell, we have a habit of writing joint posts together, and in order to include everyone on the fun I thought I'd address it explicitly. Joint posts (JP's) are a great way to keep the chemistry rolling from one interaction to the next in order to frame a scene together between two or more writers (yes, we could all do one together!). This typically happens in a shared Google Doc where we can set the stage, add our character's actions, then leave a <Tag> for another writer to jump in for their character. Upon consensus, we can end the scene and one of the writers is cleared to post. It's that easy! Feel free to invite any of your fellow writers or GM's to JP with you.

Another tidbit I'd like to pass on is the wisdom of letting your GM's know any personal character plots you'd like to see brought to fruition. We want to get to know your characters as much as you do, and thus we definitely want to provide room for your characters to grow. Fill Sail or me in on what sort of arc you're thinking, or we'll just blindly lead you through our own personal plots and vendettas! That's a promise.

Sail and I are often chatting on Google Chat (formerly Hangouts), but we'd be willing to change the medium if others wanted to chat in another location. Let us know!

And that's all the wisdom I've been blessed with. Happy Fourth of July!

Over the top Zombie RP

The impact from his fall not only knocked the wind out of him, but the force snapped his shoulder back into its socket. The pain was almost unbearable, but not nearly as painful as the death that was clawing its way toward him if he didn't get up right now. The thought crossed his mind that this would be the end of him, here in this alley. The last thing he would feel was teeth in his abdomen. No, he didn't fight his way through a church full of his closest friends to end up dying here, like this.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for You are with me.

Isaac drew himself up to his full height, the bloodied chain hanging from his white-knuckled hand. It was now or never. Do or die. And Keller planned on living. He cracked his neck, and rotated his newly restored limb. Raising the chain above his head, he readied himself to bludgeon the first zombie on the head before kicking the next one aside.

Firefly - Second 'Verse

Background

For Captain Cal Strand, looks like nothin’ ever goes smooth. Now he’s hightailin’ it to the black with a hold full ‘o’ legit cargo...but that don’t stop them hairs on the back of his neck standin’ up. Of course, he wasn’t countin’ on a crime boss puttin’ him right square ‘tween the Alliance an’ the Browncoat underground, a cranky teenager gettin’ stitches in her butt, or a pilot what gangs up on ‘im with a pithy AI. The China Doll could be that gift horse whose mouth he shoulda checked, dohn mah?

Setting

The year’s 2522. War ended a decade ago. Been 3 years since the Miranda Broadwave riled some folk up, but the Alliance put the boot down on that right quick. It ain’t easy for “naughty men to slip about” these days, but there’s still work as can be had, long’s the price is right an’ you ain’t the curious type.

Our Style

“Firefly – Second ‘Verse” is an episodic PBP game. Character and plot development will be encouraged and written over the course of each episode. Certain adventures will involve “capers,” live action scenes played out in chat by member players. These scenes could vary from crimes to action to something as simple as everyone talking over the galley table.

Lookin' for...

The Captain says the pilot seat is open, and he'd prefer to leave the flyin' to someone what know's more about landing than the deckhand. Passengers, too, but don’t let none of this fence you in. There’s lots of different folk out there. After all...it’s a mighty big ‘verse.

We’re ‘bout to touch down on Osiris, a core planet known for the illusion of safety authority provides and the seedy underbelly that thrives in its blindspots. If you wanna fly with us, send us a wave!

@wanderingwolf - he’s along for the ride...
@sail3695 - he runs the show...

I'm going to move this thread to the Advanced interest checker because it ended up skuing that way.

@HEAVY METAL

"Jesus Christ," Isaac stared at three blood-stained zombies shambling toward him. Normally, he'd be cylcing through the Lord's prayer, confident that it was enough to keep him protected from the slings and arrows of evil, but here, evil's six dull eyes looked on him as if he were filet mignon. The only thing keeping him from becoming evil's meal right now was his wits. His muscles flexed beneath his black buttoned collar, sweat breaking out across his back.

Glancing around, he saw a ladder attached to a fire escape on the adjacent building. If he ran, he'd make it in time to start his slow ascent with only one good arm. That was the only way. Isaac draped the chain over his shoulder and sprinted for the metal ladder. As he started his climb, he realized that he would need to leap between each rung because his left arm was in excrutiating pain when he tried to raise it. Keller fought the urge to glance over his shoulder at the three ravenous mouths snapping in his direction.

Hello

@HiddenBlue Welcome!

Land of The Giants

Netahlie "Net" Sousje

Netahlie "Net" Sousje

Age: 35

Role: The Saboteur

Personality: Net is a cunning woman. For her, life in the wide galaxy has taken more than it has ever given. Prospects dried up for her long ago--along with her homeland which was ravaged by war--leaving Nat and her countrymen country-less. In space, there are no lines, no rules, no government. Along with her band, she takes what she needs from those whose hands still bear the blood of her brothers and sisters. Piracy opened wide the floodgates of what she'd be willing to do; though an incredulous itch in the back of Net's mind watched as it changed her cohorts into something unrecognizable. Restraining herself, Net volunteered to smuggle herself aboard unsuspecting crafts and steer them into the waiting hands of her crew.

Skills: Net is adept at electronic warfare, well, because a Trojan horse is much more effective than a brute force attack. Lying comes second nature for her and because of that, she's developed a keen eye for falsehood. She can defend herself in hand to hand combat, and always fights dirty. There's no honor in dying, after all. Secretive and hard to grant trust, Net has a low opinion of authority figures.

Items: She brought aboard a compact pistol with which she threatened the pilot and attempted to take control of the ship. Little did he and the marshal know, but she also carried a thumb drive that was responsible for taking down the ships shields and weapons--and for locking it on course. These two items, along with a thin blade in her boot are all she carries with her on the would-be short journey until she can reunite with her fellow pirates once again.
