OK well here the plan

I've been out there in the stars of cyberspace and i've been getting into RPGs on forums so i was thinking...

Firefly RPG Been done... or has it

well i did some web scralling and came up zilch so....

If I can get 5+ people willing to play i will start one up, i will be on everyday and i would like any others to be on at least every other.

The rules would be somthing like this:

1. No GodModing (Making unfair or unreaistic actions)

2. Follow the character rules (at the end)

3. Basic Forum rules

4. Respect other players ask them about getting into fights or action

5. Use good grammer and spelling

6. Third person please

Ok the brown coats are coming back after the wave about Miranda

Character name;
Age;
Alignment; (Allience, Browncoats, Pirates, Reavers, Bounty hunter/Mercenary)
Ship name;
Character Weapon; (Personal fire arms, if a proper name like SPB50 just add what type after)
Ship main weapon; (Rocket, Torpedos, Gattling cannon, Ram, *Ion cannon* battle ship only)
Ship secondary weapon; (EMP, Graples, *Plasma Cannon*, Boarding cutters, Flak, any of the above)
Ship type; (Fighter, Bomber, Frigate, Cruiser, Battlecruiser, Destroyer, Carrier)

You can have doubles of weapons if you want but a ship wouldn't be too good if it just had rockets and lets be smart don't put rams of fighters even if you are Reavers

Ok Which ship is for me part

Fighter, light fast one manned craft may only have main weapon and one secondary weapon from the primary section

Bomber, Light fast but out maneuvered by fighters, can have main weapon, and any secondaries from the list not for battleships

Frigate, Anti Fighters, Bombers and other frigates main weapon and any 3 non-battleship weapons

Cruiser, heavyest non-battleship, long range Torpedos come fixed with 3 other non-battleship or 1 Battleship weapon

Battlecruiser, What it says on the tin, main weapons and 4 non-battleship or 2 battleship weapons, only reavers can have Grapples on Battlecruisers (this was the ship seen in Serenity that the operative had)

Destroyer, The strongest ship sofar, but the slowest by a long shot, 6 non-battleship or 3 battleship weapons and 2 normal.

Carrier, The biggest ship, the same speed as a battlecruiser it has a compliment of 60 fighters and 25 bombers, it has flak and Gattlings and 2 other non-battleship weapons.

Don't all just take the big ships ok it's RPG not a game you can win just by picking the best ships.

The bigger the ship the slower they are to move and after battlecruiser they can't dodge shots.

The Big guns have low refire rates so they do a lot of damage but have to wait to cool before fireing again

Oh and i'd hate to put a downer on folk but Serenity is not allowed as a ship nor are the crew but they may be in some of the stories should this take off.

Ok this i really long so i'll end it soon

TO ENTER

Fill out the ship data and write a BIO for ship, captin and crew(if you want)

And wait for me to except you!!

We'll be needing leaders for each side, I'll be leading the Pirates

After we have 5+ members i'll set up the RPG Page and this will be the join up and general talk page and planning.

GO FOR IT

PS this if my first time starting a RPG so if i need to add stuff tell me

Minna, you'll be so lucky.... try me

Character name; Luna-Maria Hawk
Age; 18
Alignment; Pirates
Ship name; Zefie
Character Weapon; ZLR Compressed shotgun and Custom pistol
Ship main weapon; Gattling cannon
Ship secondary weapon; EMP, Boarding cutters, Torpedoes
Ship type; Cruiser

(Can't get dam pitures to work any help?)

Luna-Maria
Was born in space, the daughter of a merchant she was destined to continue to family business but fate took it course and by the time she was Sixteen both her parents were dead. She took the ship that was left to her and just wanted to get away from it all.

When she was seventeen she saved a pirate captain in a gunfight and he offered for her to join him. She did but at heart she wasn’t a pirate and after six months they spilt and the Zefie and her crew started looking for other work, but there is not other work for pirates.

She still makes a living by taking from those weaker and does a good job of it. Is her crew getting fed up with having a yellow-bellied captain?

ZEFIE
The ship used to be used by the military to transport cargo but after being decommissioned and brought by a merchant be became a family home. The ship was a frequent sight in the inner planets, it ran jobs for the upper classes and the owner was making a fortune but never even thought about leaving his ship for a manor or floating island.

The ship has been retrofitted to loot wrecks and other ships, fast and expert at ambushes the ZEFIE rarely kills. (If you kill the ships they can't come back with more stuff later)

Medic 2 Duke Koster

May be i should make this very clear (i guess i was a little mudled with ideas)

The *_* weapons can only be used by the Cruiser, Battlecruiser and Destroyer in the numbers i have shown

Frigate, Anti Fighters, Bombers and other frigates main weapon and any 3 non-battleship weapons
so it could have a

Rocket or Torpedos or Gattling cannon or Ram as main weapon and Rocket or Torpedos or Gattling cannon or Ram or EMP or Graples or cutters or Flak as each of its secondary weapons

so it could have EG
Gattling cannon
and
Ram
EMP
Torpedos

if you wanted a Battleship gun you would need at least a Cruiser

does this require any of the RPG books and games that you have to buy? if not im totally in

Character name; Joe Linscott
Age; 25
Alignment; Mercenary/Pirate(if ocasion calls for it )
Ship name; Sternsom
Character Weapon; Just a simple M16 with a M203 attachment
Ship main weapon; Gattling cannon
Ship secondary weapon; Boarding cutters
Ship type; Bomber

Joe Linscott
Born on Aerials, Joe was basically forced to become a lawyer. But at age 20 he was fed up with the life he didnt want, he robbed a bank clean of everything it had. He was caught purposely and went to court. He had a natural talent in law and won his case. He then took all the money he had and went to a boarder planet.

On his 23rd birthday, he wanted to leave the planet he was on and go for a new one. He went on a ship called the Brutus( ) when they were headed to the next planet over, they were boarded by Reavers. Luckily the ship had a huge amount of weapons that they were supposed to deliver and defeated all of the Reavers. The ship was in mildly good shape, and when Joe saw it he fell in love with it. He asked if they ship could be brought to the next planet they were going to so he could repair it and get a crew. The Brutus crew gladly excepted... for a price.

By the time he was 24, Joe had gotten the ship in running condition and with a full crew. His pilot, Kelly, his mechanic, Anthony, his right hand man Lex, the doctor, Chyanne, and the cook, Dre.

With the seed money given him by his parents he quickly establised one of the most respected spacedock facilities outside of the Alliance Military. Although he never took up arms during the War, Xavier helped the cause of Independance in any way that he could. Knowing that the Alliance was too proud to accept help from a Rim Civillian he openly announced that his space dock would be available as a repair station to any vessel needing its services. After the war, Xavier kept alert for signs of discontent, quetly using his wealth to encourage such activities. When the Miranda Wave reached him and his network informed him that new forces were gathering in opposition to the Alliance Xavier knew that this time he must take a more active role.
In secret, Xavier's spacedock constructed for him a mighty capital ship, it's name: Iconia. Fully crewed with loyal men and women drawn from throughout the 'verse and protected by a detachment of marines, Iconia was launced and hidden far from the prying eyes of Alliance spies, waiting for the day when the Banner of Independance would again be raised.

Short edit to story the station was meant to be the one in your bio (No bad will happen to it as if you don't want it, only fuel cells (Next time i'll ask first)) Soz

Ok the Other Space rpg I was on (OGame forums) Died, not cool well i don't want to waste the 2 hours work i did on it so with zlicho do with firefly but RPG still i give you blah blah blah

Captian Lunas Parody Capatin Luna

Name: Luna-Maria Hawk
Age: 18
Alignment: Good (If not neutral)
Ship's Name: Zefie
Ship Class: Frigate
Primary Weapon: Fusion Cannon
Secondary Weapons: Lasers
Torpedo tubes
Launch bays
FTL Drive: Level 1

Extra info: The ship is small and nippy, the reactor is one of the best giving it a fast jump speeds and after lag time of about 5 minuets it used as the main weapon.

The ship carries 4 Valkyries which are in the ex-cargo space at the base of the ship. The Valkyries (From Macross) can change into walkers in the needs require it.

There a two torpedo tubes at the front with ammo for 40 launches, this is the ships long range weapon but would do little to enemy ships

The are laser loopholes along the port, stern, dorsal, aft, and rear with light fire-power to keep close range fighters off it's back.

The Fusion Cannon is also a coolant system, it is a moderate weapon system and is the only real risk to other ships with a re-fire time of around a minuet, but if over used will leave the reactor dried up and the ship would be powerless.

This ship as you may guess if looks like a bit of powerhouse can only fire for a short while and has to pull back, the ship has a battle time of about an hour at max.

Luna-Maria Hawk

Her grand-parents were on the Komm station and escaped to New Komm she was born there and life was becoming very easy there as the city grew. She was schooled at Gunam Academy and left at the aged of seventeen, after a while as a waitress she joined the new space program.

She was navigator on the Aquila and helped the landing on Yuna which was thereafter colonised. She was given a command of the Zefie. It was unknown how long the journey would be so it was decided that all crew would have to be under twenty years old to ensure that they would make the trip. The crew was only 50 in number, 5 bridge crew, 15 engineers, 5 pilots, 10 air crew, 10 troops and 10 operation crew from cooks to cleaners.

The ship had made it to an uncharted gas cloud,where it was attacked by three fighters, the Valkyries were launched and dispatched them with little damage. The sensors were however damaged and after being reset course heading was lost. The ship had lost it's position and found it's self in a war zone, it's mission was still to find Orb b what ever means.

Dude it think it came out pretty well. I love to write stories and have a few 200 pagers so some of my entry's will be very in-depth and descriptive, oh and I love cuteness so some bits may be OTT.

I want my ship is meant to be weak (that's the point, you can't be a cute underdog if you can mince the the enemy)

And Heres the only story part

October 10, 2791
1935 hours
Malastere XIII Debris Field
Unknow
Zefie, Bridge

Zefie dropped into normal space; the shield came adding a blue haze to the rest of the lights on the ship. The ship had ended it’s run in an asteroid field, Brown rocks the size of the ship drifted past, the field must have stretched for at least a 100 parsecs every way.

Commander, Jason Path: “Status report Mr Faur, what the hell happened?” Strain in his voice

Lieutenant Simon Faur: “We’ve had a fuel burn out, primary tanks empty that’s why we slammed out sir.”

Luna-Maria enters the bridge

Captain Luna-Maria Hawk: “Jason, Simon why have we dropped out?”

Jason: “We’ve run out of fuel sir.”

Luna-Maria: “How could we let that happen?” looking upset.

Simon: “It’s no ones fault Captain, the reactor over heat

Character Weapon; hand held pistol

Ship secondary weapon; EMP, grapples
Ship type; frigate

darren jake owen
he is a cowardly man, always running from both sides of the law. he has almost no friends, besides his crew, and they don't even like him that much, in fact he has to hire a new crew each time he lands cos they leave, but he doesn't land too often cos not many people will be pleased with him on thier planet. the only person who does like him is his tactical advisor, john bolsen. he has stayed on his crew for as long as darren has been a public enemy. this is because john loves a challenge, and with the amount of people coming after darren, john get to plan out a many difficult strategies for escape.

the reason why nobody likes him is because he is a sly weasel. he looks for ships which have been abandoned or with very weak defence and salvages all he can. ten he gos to some sucker who hasn't heard about his reputations, uses enough big words, and rips peopl off by alot.

the salvager
not many guns, or defence, it is used mainly for running away. if confronted, the EMP is first to be used, and if possible, taken down with the gattling guns bfore the enemy has a chance to restore normal function. if however the ship has good defence, then the EMP will be used as a distraction to run away. the grapples are used to grab weaker ships for salvaging. several escape pods are on board the ship as well for obvious reasons.

captain: darren jack owen
pilot: jane sheppard
mechanic: nick jasper
medic: josie killica
