The Oberon RPG, a Firefly cooperative writing project, is looking for a new Doctor.

We are, basically, an RPG, although our emphasis is on the quality of writing more than most RPGs. We have our own forum, at http://www.oberonrpg.com and we work in a pvt area on story development, then write our posts in the public area, where everyone can read. (This keeps the main story from getting spoiled for our readers).

We're in the market for a new Doctor. Ours is having a hard time posting (time constraints). We would like to see someone with time to post at least a couple of times a week or more, and the ability and willinginess to write real good quality posts. We also need someone willing to work cooperatively on the story - we have an amazing team right now, everyone is so great about sharing ideas - and the spotlight - I couldn't be more proud of them all. Everyone is the star in our game, everyone gets their chance to shine.

If you are interested, you can reply here, or go to the site

http://www.oberonrpg.com

and apply via the application thread. We would like an example "in game post" so we can see your writing style, and again, we only need a Doctor.

If, by chance, you have other ideas and are insterested in playing, please feel free to let us know, but please be aware we have a large cast already, and will not be able to accept everyone; at least not right away. There are plans to perhaps expand, perhaps another ship, or other idea, but those are currently "in the future". Perhaps if we had enough interest, that would change.

Thank you for your time!

Hi,

My name is JT. I live in Alabama, but I am a yankee in rebel country. I am 21. But anyways. I am responding to the "help Wanted" ad you posted in the fireflyfans.net forums. I am pleased to offer, for your evaluation,

Dr. Michael Locklear.

He was an independent medic, pulled for the same reasons by fellow brother-in-arms Mal Reynolds. He was injured badly in one of the battles of the war, and spent time in the Internment Camps of the Alliance. He has been drifting from world to world, trying to get back on his feet, but an Independent Doctor is something no hospital wants. So he drifts. He finds the Oberon, at first as a transport, but (a suggestion on recruiting him) his skills are needed on the boat.

He is tall, about 5' 11", with black hair, short on the sides, but longer on top. He is of British descent, and still carries the accent a little. he is about 32, but looks twenty. He bears the scars of war and torture, but doesn't let them affect him too much. he still has nightmares from the war, but he gets by. He is charming and devious, and highly intelligent.

Hope that piques your interest. if you want a writing sample, as well as a little bit of his back story, I will post it on my profile in the blue sun room, Tadpole37 on fireflyfans.net.

Wydraz here (it's complicated); been playing RPGs for close to 30 years

. I've posted this at your forum, but here is my doctor again, just so's all my cards are on the table:

Name: Delvin Monk
AKA: "Deliverance"
Age: 42
Hair: Black (grey flecks)
Eyes: Green
Description:
5'11", 160 lbs., average build; Largish chin.

Notable Markings etc:
Scar on chin

Planet of Origin:
Greenleaf

Occupation:
Doctor

Associations:
Matthew Ming (Doctor on Ariel, trusted friend)
Galeisha O'Connor (Companion on Ariel, as a regular customer)
Sawney Beaner (Independent Sergeant, rumored missing after the war to Reavers)

Known History:
Delvin Monk grew up a farmer on Greenleaf. But he left at the age of 22 in search of adventure. In a few years he was comfortable making trade runs near the rim, in his small cargo ship, the Benthic Scarab. But at the age of 27 he lost it to the beurocratic machinery of the Alliance, due to a technicality. Soon afterwards he joined the Independents to fight against their growing tyranny. Although already a good shot with a pistol, he was trained as a medic. After years of field experience, he became a doctor, and had earned the rank of major.
In the final days of the war, Delvin's MASH unit was overrun by Alliance hovertanks. In a daring maneuver, he managed to set off the munitions depot as Alliance troops were taking it. During the confusion he gathered dozens of Independents into two troop transports and escaped capture, thus earning the nickname "Deliverance".
For the past few years Delvin has tried to avoid trouble with the Alliance, and has managed to keep a job as doctor on Ariel. Unfortunately he ignored procedure for the sake of expediency in saving lives once too often, and has been fired from that position.

Thanks SO much, both of you. My first mate and I will discuss, and let you know ASAP (and I do mean ASAP!!!).

Our current Doctor will be writing a few more posts, and things are not completely set yet, but please feel free to apply on the forum.

There is also the chance that there might be room for more than one person, so whomever isn't "chosen" we might be able to rework you in as someone else.

We're finalizing the outline for our next story (ours are decided one, as far as a basic outline, BEFORE we write, and as a result, we are seeing a definite improvement in story overall).

Again, thank you!!!!!

Well, here's the deal.

It was a tough decision, but we have chosen a new Doctor.

As a result of hearing enough interest, we have decided to begin the process of adding a new ship!!

Yep! That's right! We're looking to get a group of people together who would like to start a ship on the Oberon board. We would like those interested to join the forum, and to talk to both myself, Shadesiren, and my first mate, Soupviking, on yahoo messenger (those are our ids). This group is a real family, we want to get to know people.

There is a place on the forum for the new crew - feel free to post ideas, applications and writing samples there!

again, that's www.oberonrpg.com
