Deb figgered there needed to be another thread as the old one was loading slow due to SO many pictures - I do agree, so here is a new thread to carry on with.

The old thread can be found thu this link:
http://fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=17&t=3530

I'll post the synopsis here in the alpha post of this thread as soon as I distill it from the original and add in the changes.

Here is an interesting fact I found.

A Dragonfly is the fastest insect in the world. It can fly at 30 to 60 miles per hour! You may think - Not very fast in comparison to the fastest animal, the Perigine Falcon (100 to 200 MPH).

I wonder what a Dragonfly's 'scale' speed would be? Considering an average Dragonfly is only 50 to 100 mm with a wingspan of 80 to 150 mm, compared to a Perigrine Falcon at 400 mm to 510 mm in length and a wingspan of 915 mm to 1112 mm.

OK, here ia a different character sheet - this one is for Thilda ... enjoy!

****BEGIN CORTEX IDENTITY RECORD****

NAME:
Laiohn Thilda {LEE-Hone ta-hill-DA} family name is first.

AKA: (if any)
Only the GM knows...

AGE:
24 standard

PLANET of ORIGIN:
Arcade' {now a Detritus Depot - trash planet}

OCCUPATION:
Detailer/Consultant

ASSOCIATIONS:
No real ones -- her business publicity is by word of mouth. She is very selective.

HAIR:
Black w/copper highlights, ankle length.

EYES:
Large and wide almond shaped, with deep dark chocolate iris' containing copper and sliver flecking and striations. Long dark lashes.

DESCRIPTION:
4' 10", wiry and very nimble. A dark copper skin tone. Mostly wears a burka, so much of her features and shape are hidden. Hands are strong and flexible.

NOTABLE MARKINGS ETC:
If seen outside her burka - Elaborate Toltecah tattoos done in cobalt: across cheekbones, around wrists up to her forearms, ankles to thighs, abdomen and a few other, undisclosed areas.

KNOWN HISTORY:
Approximately 6 years ago a small 17 year old, beaten and nearly naked, female collapsed in the Emergency ward at a hospital on Ariel. She was clutching the remnants of an Alliance card that the authorities were able to retrieve her name and Alliance, ID number. After a satisfactory background check, the Authorities added her case to the nearly infinite case log with similar Modus-Operendi.

She lay in a coma for 3 months. Post coma, the Doctors thought she had suffered brain damage due to her inability to speak. Brain damage was never truly established as she forged ahead in therapy with an uncommon intensity. Slowly she began to speak, but rarely. While in therapy, it was noted that she had a natural talent for organization and cleaning so efficiently, that it indeed made a visiting Drill Sergeant tear up a tad. Although her metal faculty recovery was nearly miraculous, yet she still seemed emotionally withdrawn and untouchable.

With nothing more they could do, they released her with a fresh Ident card and access to her accounts that had been held in trust until her recuperation. Of course, after remuneration for her stay at the Hospital.

With this finite capital, she embarked on an itinerant lifestyle. Moving from job to job, planet to planet, she solidified her 'underground' reputation for attention to detail. Never advertising, she never was at a loss for clients.

TALENTS {Innate}:
Observation
Analysis
Balance
Dexterity
Eidetic Memory
Centered/Balanced mentally
Attention to detail
Acute senses

SKILLS - level of competence {Learned}:
Chemist - PhD/Research & Development
Pilot - Intuitive amateur
Restoration and Repair - Master
Accounting/General paperwork - Standard
Psychology - Graduate

* bump *

was trying to work on more of my bio for Quentin (ie Hawk) in this campaign when I noted via the timeline posted here on fff.net ( ie http://www.fireflyfans.net/referencelist.asp?s=timeline ) that the episode Serenity takes place in 2517 AD

our esteemed GM sent me a timeline awhile back for the DragonFly game having DF set in 2504 AD and includes an entry for Serenity happening in 2503 ...

there might be some editing needed

No worries, it was never re-posted ... Real Life interveaned and I never got to it.

I would say go ahead and start posting on the GunRunners as Hawk - just have him on New Hokkaido in Ugchigatana city and we'll have him run into Hlas, Jax or even one of the twins adn go from there.

Yes, Hlastoni, Jax, Gi and Kara are all there in the Rubicon awaiting the meeting with Mal and crew.

Capn:

I think its still too early to show offiicially as Hawk due to the fact its still months in game time before DF is supposed to start if i remember incorrectly last I knew and the intent was to have the crew established (at least in my mind) .. although an unofficial meeting is possible in a bar ... the stereotypical barroom brawl comes to mind .. might be easier if we do a Gunnrunners Scene 22b thingy so we don't crowd the GR thread

.. or it might be easier if we do some email posts and then cut and paste to fff.net where haWk meets his new employers... it would honestly be less confusing if i do that ... or we can just wait til Dragonfly starts up in its own thread (I'd opt for us doing the side scene ie GR 22b and then I'll wait til DF starts up ... would be less mind blowing for me )

I can be emailed at mstiemike2000@yahoo.com

btw ... dunno how to get the nifty colors for text, etc here on fff for posts and such ... not sure the html code to use .. simply giving an example here on fff .. rather than sending me to tripod.com would be a help

I found the answer to my question on another fff.net thread ... going to try this method posted in one of the Gunnrunner threads -

'To change the color of word(s), use the following format:

< font color="hexadecimal color code">Your text goes here.< /font>

*note that i put spaces in before and at the end of the code don't really put thoes in*

You should replace hexadecimal color code with a hexadecimal color code that corresponds to the color

that you want. For a list of some color codes that you can use, look at this chart thingy.
http://howto.livejournal.com/28475.html '

let me try this

woo hoo ... it worked

Anybody Interested in playing the DF RP: I have set up a place on storycrafter.com/dragonfly to play. We can start messing about to see if it works for all of us.

I will be making a 'table read' "Act" so we can mess about practice-posting before we get the ball rolling!

PLEASE let me know your thoughts on this new RPing venue.
