StarEdge- Official Sign-Up and OOC Discussion

Excellent... And yes, happy new years... Havent been on much lately cuz i been spending time with my girl before she gets shipped to south korea for 2 years so.... yea.... i have plenty of time now though... she gets on a plane in 6 hours so.... yea... im ready to start this thing whenever you are Gigsy boy...
 
like.... what??

Er....

I dont know, lets try to come up with....another villainous team or something?

That sounds like a rather dubious idea. Mostly because we don't really seem to have enough people to make another whole "team."
I'll go ahead and make another character today though.
I never said it had to be an extremely important team. Just a minor one. So it could consist of all NPCs.

But it seems like no body wants to talk about story-related stuff, so Im going to drop it.
 
Nick, dont take offense to it. Its just more funn coming up with it in the spur of the moment during the story, not before. If everythings planned out, whats the point of it being an RP?

Hello, everybody. After much pestering from this "Giga Ridley" fellow, I have decided to join this Roleplaying Game, if that is all well with the lot of you. I have two characters.

I am not going to say 'begin transmission', on account of I do not rightly want to.


Name: James Lillis

Species: Man

Gender: Male

Allegiance: Not aligned with either the empire or the resistance, but has no love for the empire.

Profession: Grifter

Appearance: About five foot ten, dark brown hair, Caucasian. Green eyes. Good looking; spends a lot of time trying to cultivate the impression that he does not spend a lot of time on his looks. Of average build and weight.

Homeworld: Cartana. A planet similar to Earth, Cartana is one of the oldest human colonies, and is home to many very old and distinguished families. Lillis hails from Blackport, a rough and densely populated city which houses many of Cartana's working class citizens.

Biography: Born in Blackport, Lillis was abandoned by his parents as an infant and raised in an orphanage. Despite the orphanage's best efforts, it was a poor place to grow up, having very little money. Lillis ran away at the age of twelve and stowed away on a train to Cymbeline, a moon of the gas giant Eos, where he met William Townes. The two rapidly became close friends, and grew to depend on one another. They made a living on Cymbeline as grifters. Lillis has never had a long-term paramour, but has had innumerable romantic encounters with the women of Cymbeline, among whom he is largely both admired and despised. The two often move to a new planet when necessary.

Personality: Lillis is somewhat narcissistic, and has trouble regarding the well being of others over himself. He does not like to plan things in advance, and is often reckless and impulsive. His impulses are often correct, but this nonetheless gets him into trouble. He often depends on Townes to deal with the details of jobs they pull. He is described by those who do not know him well as witty, handsome, and charming. Like Townes, Lillis is a talented actor, and when he assumes a persona or tells a lie, even the wisest of men often have trouble discerning the truth. Lillis is usually well dressed, and habitually wears a waistcoat and suitpants with a black derby hat.

Ship/Weapons: Lillis has basic hand-to-hand combat skills, and carries a high quality energy pistol which he stole from a Cartanian nobleman, with which he is somewhat skilled. He is poor enough at fighting that he prefers to solve problems by other means. Keeps a two-way communicator hidden in one of his cufflinks.



Name: William Townes

Species: Man

Gender: Male

Allegiance:
Not aligned with either the empire or the resistance, but has no love for the empire.

Profession: Grifter

Appearance: Light brown hair, about five foot eleven. Blue eyes; Caucasian. Fairly slight of frame.

Homeworld: Varan
. A planet similar to Earth, Varan is home to many prosperous trade and industrial businesses.

Biography: Townes's mother died when he was young, and his father, a merchant, was killed by pirates when Townes was eleven. After his father's death, Townes decided to travel to Cymbeline, where he met James Lillis. The two rapidly became close friends, and grew to depend on one another. They made a living on Cymbeline as grifters. Using a false identity as a student at Cymbeline University, Townes spends many hours at the University Library. The two often move to a new planet when necessary.

Personality: Townes is very practically minded and even headed. He does not think well on his feet, but is skilled at planning ahead, often acting as the 'idea man' of his and Lillis's duo. Though he lacks Lillis's charisma, Townes's intelligence makes him an equally skilled grifter. His calculating nature can sometimes lead him to be somewhat amoral, but he is usually good natured. Townes has never been comfortable with space travel, and prefers to remain on solid ground. Like Lillis, Townes is a talented actor, and when he assumes a persona or tells a lie, even the wisest of men often have trouble discerning the truth. Has a love of classical literature. Usually wears a light grey or blue suit with a Panama hat.

Ship/Weapons: Townes carries a projectile rifle, which he insists is more effective than modern energy rifles. He is a skilled marksman. He is not especially strong physically, but is agile enough to hold is own in hand-to-hand combat. Still,
he is poor enough at fighting that he prefers to solve problems by other means. Keeps a two-way communicator hidden in one of his cufflinks.

Begin Transmission

Name: Gerumbio Noss

Species: Unknown

Gender: Male

Allegiance: Neutral in trade matters, but a secret ally of the resistance.

Profession: Merchant

Appearance: A short, stout man of a race that not even Noss himself can identify. He has an abnormally large nose, and a large mustache. His skin is stony and cracked and he has stubby fingers. He usually wears lavish robes in rich colors such as indigo, chartreuse, and vermillion.

Homeworld: Ventropolis
, the bustling tradeworld of the galaxy.

Biography: Noss was raised by two human spice traders on Ventropolis. His parents told him that they found him abandoned as a child on a deserted spice mining plant. Noss grew up to open Emerald Moon Trading Co. a traveling merchant business. Noss' spaceship-shop orbits various planets, buying and selling rare goods to travelers.

Personality: Noss is a jovial gentleman, liked by most. He has created a great business for himself. Secretly, Noss sometimes harbors resistance members on the run from the Empire. He also strikes up conversation with traveling Empire Psykers, and relays this information to resistance members, thus, he is a valuable contact for the resistance

Ship: The Emerald Moon, a traveling shop. It is shaped like a big green pear, and has docking ports at the bottom.

Weapons: Noss is dreadful at fighting. He carries around a weak bolt pistol that he doesn't know how to use.


End Transmission
 
Let's do this

Name: Leo “Mac” Mcmillan
Species: Human/Moic (Pronounced Mow-ic
The Moic are very human-like creatures. The species was very much in its infancy when humans first landed on their planet Mocratiana. Due to this their native language is english and live very much like humans. Moics have slightly pointed ears and teeth, and are naturally slightly taller than humans. Moics are more mild mannered than humans greatly value family and nature. Physically Moics are in another league. Their muscles are much more advanced and because of their more primitive lifestyle have much more acute senses.
Gender: Male
Allegiance: None...or so it seems

Appearance: Mcmillan is 26 years old and stands at 6’3”, short for Moician standards. His skin is slightly tanned and his head topped with a thick mop of dirty blonde hair. His eyes are a deep, deep green, a common trait for Moics and his ears and canines slightly pointed. He is fairly muscular and clean shaven. His wardrobe consists of baggy cargo pants, different colored t-shirts and a dirty navy blue baseball cap that he wears backwards.
Homeworld: Europa
Europa is Jupiter's smallest moon, comparable in size to earth. It was the very first in a long line of human colonies founded around the year 3000. Its surface is a mixture of rocky terrain and ice covered oceans.

Biography: Leo was born on the moon Europa and was raised by his single mother Teresa. His father was out of the picture and any questions he had about him where skillfully shrugged off by his mom. As a single mom, Teresa tried to provide a good life for her son. Working 2 jobs she struggled to put food on the table and keep up with the rent for their small apartment in the ghetto. To fill the need for attention he couldn’t get from his mom, and to try and make some money for his own Leo took to the streets, chasing girls, gambling, selling drugs, even stealing things from time to time. Life in the ghetto made him tough and desensitized him to crime and violence, but it also made him crafty, quick on his feet, and tough as nails.

When Leo turned 18 and became an adult he was caught trying to hot wire a hover bike owned by the governor of Europa. Due to his previous record and the governors connects, he was sent to a military boot camp meant to break misbehaving youngsters into an army of obedient soldiers. Leo escaped from the compound with a group of about ten others, who found themselves on the planet Imperis, the Unity’s base of operations. Over half of the planet is covered by a giant bustling metropolis which is home to heads of state from all races and planets. Mcmillan and a group of four other delinquents stuck together and found a way off the planet and onto a nearby moon called Prator. The moon is essentially a game preserve rented out by rich hunters with too much time on their hands, making it a perfect place for Mcmillan and his unit to hideout and pray on the lavish lifestyles of the wealthy.

The group of five made a pack to each other to stay loyal to each other and have become a kind of disfunction family.(these characters will be introduced throughout the story as npcs or if someone wants to create one of them to roleplay with they may...see me first.) Making Prator their home planet they spend most of their time discussion possible heists or different ways to make money. They also spend a lot of time wondering through the solar system going from job to job.

However, recently things have changed. A few months ago small groups of resistance fighters began secretly arriving on the moon Prator. Leo is currently acting as their leader. At the very least, Mcmillan is an unlikely man for the job. The other resistance fighters question his motives, unknown to all but Leo and his special task force, “The Unit.”

Personality: Know as anything from a cut-throat, selfish pirate to a skilled, master architect of thievery, to a modern day robin hood, one thing is for sure. “Mac” has a great number of personas. Leo cares first for himself, second for his brothers and sisters known as “the unit” and third about money. Being raised in poverty, Mcmillan had a great value for money from a young age, it was everything. This has translated to his adult life. He enjoys having a good time and uses his money to do just that. Oddly enough Leo is not greedy, and often gives away a large portion of his earnings to those less fortunate. He will not steal from anyone who truly needs it. Mcmillan is a quick and witty tactician and can talk his way out of any situation. Although is not a slouch when forced into a fight.

Ship/Weapons: In a hidden hanger on Prator is a stockpile of high priced weaponry and ships stolen from a variety of wealthy owners. Mcmillan himself usually carries a double barreled, high caliber, hunting rifle that fires incinerary rounds designed to stop even the most heavily armored wild game. He also carries a skillfully crafted energy sword. The sword resembles a cutlass with its curved, crimson blade and intricate, silver inlayed handle. Leo’s ship of choice is the lightly gunned, PF Flyer, an unmarked black cruiser allegedly able to out run anything in the solar system.

Not the best writing, but i finally got my thoughts down on paper lol
