Firefly RP?

[Watanuki Kimihiro]

Since most people have never heard of firefly I'll sum up as best I can.


2517 A.D.

After the Earth was used up, we found a new star system and hundreds of new Earths were colonized. The central planets formed the Alliance and decided all planets had to join under their rule, there was some disagreement on that point. After the war many of the independents that had fought and lost drifted to the edges of space far from Alliance reach.

Out here people struggle to get by with the most basic technology. A ship would bring you work, a gun would help you keep it. A captain’s job was simple, find a crew, find a job, keep flying.

-

The central planets, or core planets, are home to wealthy, well-endowed, sophisticated people. The technology is always the latest, and the core planets are always kept clean. The Alliance is only a control panel away. (Panels are like video conversations. Public panels only contact emergency numbers, hospitals, police etc.)

Outer rim planets are home to varying levels of technology, but most are around the time of westward expansion on The-Earth-that-was. (Horse-drawn carriages, older trains, and the like). Alliance feds are found in varying degrees. Most folk are simple well-to-do citizens, but there are crime lords who will be looking for smugglers to pull a job or two. A crime lord can have as many as five-hundred henchmen, or as few as fifty, but both may double cross a smuggler. The game is survival and the more recourses you have the better.

The culture of both types of planets is a blend of American and Chinese, the last remaining superpowers from The-Earth-that-was.

--

You can be practically anything, from a smuggling captain to a high-ranking Alliance member. A crime lord, a councilor, a bar tender, or a Companion (Equivalent to a courtesan or oiran). I know how creative everyone is and I look forward to seeing what you chose to be.

Affiliations

Alliance: Try to stop smugglers, crime lords, and quell any uprisings you hear of.

Independents: Gather soldiers, supplies, and hit the Alliance whenever you can without getting caught.

None: Stay alive, and stay out of the way.
----
Reavers: A cannibalistic tribe that will attack ships, planets, and kill anything they find, they also mutilate themselves. Don’t run they’ll chase you, don’t stand still they’ll eat you. The best thing to do is hide and hope they’re not hungry…

Legends say that Reavers were people that flew to the edge of space and lost their minds, other people believe it was an Alliance experiment gone awry. Reavers have no language, and behave like zombies except much faster and more vicious.

-----

Plot: I hope to see a war between Alliance and Independents, but any suggestions would be very helpful.

------

As the RP progresses you can change affiliations, try to make it believable though. I would like to see a variety of characters; it’s no fun if everyone is the same thing. I’ll keep a record of what people chose to be here so you can see what everyone else is.

Please feel free to ask questions, point out inconsistencies, and make suggestions!

Huh?

[Watanuki Kimihiro]

What are you confused about? Everything?

[Shidou Hikaru]

Kind of!

[Watanuki Kimihiro]

Okay, there are multiple planets just like Earth with varying degrees of technology. The most advanced are called the central, or core, planets and are crawling with Alliance members. The Alliance is like a huge army-police force-federal agent conglomeration. Not everybody likes the Alliance, who want to force planets under their rule and are doing a very good job of it, the people that are against the Alliance are called Independents (aka brown coats, because they wore brown coats). A few years back the Independents fought and lost the war against the Alliance. Those that survived moved far far away from the central planets to the Outer Rim worlds, where Alliance members are few and far between. The Independents are planning another revolt.

You can be whatever the hell you want, besides an alien (because there are none in this universe) and a Reaver, a cannibalistic tribe of insane people that hurt not only themselves but others in the most torturous ways. They do not speak but they do fly space ships which are usually in horrible condition. Reavers live in the outer most reaches of space, lightyears away from even the Outer Rim planets but they are pushing further and further each year.

Does that clear anything up?

[Shidou Hikaru]

I know what the show is, but I was confused about whether this was a new RP or a VOID RP. I wasn't sure if you were playing one fandom inside another, so I wanted to make sure.

[Watanuki Kimihiro]

Ah, sorry, I'm using CLAMP characters inside the firefly universe. I hope that clears everything up.

[Doumeki Shizuka]

Doumeki is game.

[Watanuki Kimihiro]

That's great! Do you have an idea of what you'd like to be?

[Kunogi Himawari]

OMG I LOVE FIREFLY!!! I OWN THE WHOLE SEASON AND SERENITY!!!
*blushes from fan-girling*

....oops xP well anyways ya I have seen every episode and the movie its soooooo good.

but idk who i'd fit as....oh wait duh Kalyee.

[Watanuki Kimihiro]

*proceeds to fan-girl with you*

I don't own anything but I've seen them all. I have one Tivo'd at least. XD

I liked the series better than the movie but that's only because in the movie Wash died. T_T

Oh, and it's CLAMP characters in the Firefly universe. Sorry, but so few people know enough about the series to RP as the actual characters. Feel free to make Himawari a Kaylee-like character. They're quite similar in personality.

[Kunogi Himawari]

Yeah thats what I ment when I said I would be her. And about the series being better than the movie...

*SPOILERS ALERT FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO SEE IT DONT READ THIS*

I SOOOOO AGREE WITH YOU! I cried when Wash died I was like "no no no no not Wash no" and when Shepard died to I was just so hating the movie. But I mean it had its good parts like River when she is kicking ass and Kaylee and Simon finally getting together. Omg I love her line when Simons like I do regret not ever being with you and shes like "Really? Forget this Im gonna live."

[Watanuki Kimihiro]

That was the greatest line EVER! I adored Kaylee and Simon! But I also love Mal and Inara.

*spoilers*




Still Wash should not have died. Period. There was no need for that. Or Shepard's death. Or Mr. Universe for that matter, but it was pretty cool how he told of his death with his robot. Oooh! It was also nice to see how the Reavers came to be, but totally creepy. *shudders* It really struck a chord with me. It was nice to see River belong, but Wash was my favorite! T____T

[Kunogi Himawari]

I know I love those couples. They are sooooo cute.

*spoilers*

But yeah the reavers were origin was so sad. I was creeped out by the bodies. So anyway who are you gonna be?

[Watanuki Kimihiro]

Not a clue. I was going to fill in where needed.
