Fandom Lost in the Black - A Firefly/Serenity RP

[RingSlinger]

Character Skeleton:


Name: Orion Zhang


Gender: Male


Age: 37


Skills: Gun-fighting, Basic level piloting, Intimidation, Swearing in Chinese.


Backstory: Like most, Zhang fought in the war. The coat he wears to this day is a brown one, and he's got an abundance of pride about it. After the war, Zhang went off the grid, vanishing like a ghost in the aftermath of the browncoat's crushing defeat at the hands of the Alliance. Even those closest to him considered him just another casualty of the bloody conflict, until one day, he just appeared. Back on the grid and in the possession of a little capitol, just enough to gas up the old Zhang family cargo ship, find a crew, and start living the way most on the frontier of space did: day-to-day. And that's how he lived, for several years. His ship, The Calliope had been in his family for generations, serving him as well as it had his ancestors.


Appearance: Orion Zhang is not a tall man. Standing 5 foot 8, he found himself shorter than most. His hair was a dusty black, his features mixed, and his eyes a light hazel. He kept himself clean-shaven, he looked a fair amount like the cowboys of old.

 

[Mortal Recoil]

Name: Kailani Foster


Age: 27


Gender: Female


Appearance: Kailani stands at the unimposing height of 5'4", but boasts a strong, sturdy frame with hardened muscles beneath her smooth, brown skin. She wears her dark hair short, just long enough to tuck behind her ears and brush along her neck.


Skills: High level piloting, some basic weapons and firearms knowledge, some basic technical knowledge


Backstory: Kailani was a fighter pilot for the Alliance during the Unification War and was present for the Battle of Sturges. Although regarded as a hero for her contribution to the war, Kailani acknowledges the fact that she was young and impressionable then, believing only in what her parents, society and propaganda told her to believe in. Towards the end of the war, she no longer felt strongly about Alliance ideals. She has since left her home world in Osiris to become a freelance pilot on the border planets.

 

[Sensei Fox]

Name: Calcifer Ceri


Gender: Male


Age: 29


Skills: Advanced Medicine, Drinking, Drunken Boxing, Critical Thinking, Information Gathering


Backstory: Calcifer grew up a privileged life to say the least. He never had to take part in the war or worry about it effecting his life. Instead, his focus was on medical studies. Even as a young boy, he was usually in the corner if his room with some medical text and different worksheets to practice on. This was the choice of his family. They were all strict doctors with a higher focus on business rather than on raising a child. To them, Calcifer was just a new extension to the family tree. Naturally, his destiny was carved out from day one.


Calcifer followed the path set by his family but broke free in some places during his higher education at MedAcad. Like most places of higher learning, parties and other nightly activities happened regularly. This is where Calcifer developed his relationship with nearly any form of alcohol. To put it shortly, the drinking was a much needed escape from books and equations as well as pressure from his family.


While he wasn't remarkable during his stay with MedAcad, he did graduate with a decent standing. The next logical step was to go into business. His family had already set up an office in a decent area so Calcifer started nearly immediately. He was content enough with his profession for a while but grew tired of the routines that developed. The hypochondriacs, the solicitors, and his own family still pressuring him to work harder ate away at his patience. Less than a year after starting his own office and dealing with the daily repetition, he decided that there was a better life somewhere. Doctors were always in demand somewhere, and anywhere was better than that office. Calcipher made his arrangements and cut off any ties that would lead to him being traced before finally taking the first ship off world into his new life.


Calcifer continued his work with medicine where he could but mainly spent his time in bars and inns listening to stories and drinking into oblivion. It was a life, and it was better than sitting in an office. He only wished he had his own stories to swap with the other patrons.

APPEARANCE

​

BASICS


Height: 5'1"


Weight: 110


Hair Color: Orange (brunette)


Eye Color: Blue


Distinguishing Marks: None


Tattoos: Several

Written Appearance

A typical wild child, Cybil isn't one for conformity, apparent in her vibrant orange hair, heavy make up and provocative wardrobe. Her skin, pale as a sheet and without blemish is the canvas for many tattoos, all of which bear a level of profound meaning.

Written Appearance

Cybil is on the shorter side, and thin, but with prominent curves, which she isn't shy about flaunting. Her greatest feature remains her eyes, deep blue and almond shaped, round and wide.

PERSONALITY & BACKSTORY

​

If trouble had a name, it would be Cybil Tash. Born wild, she discovered at a young age a certain proclivity, as well as proficiency, for breaking the rules. Three times before her fifteenth birthday, Cybil faced criminal charges with the Alliance, the charges dismissed only because of her correlation to an Alliance Fed - the man, her mother's second husband put little stock in Cybil, but that didn't stop her from using his connections any chance she could get.

Name: Cybil Tash


Age: Twenty-six


Gender: Female


Nickname: Pandora


Skills: Mechanics, trouble-makin', explosives

However, as she grew, so did her reckless behavior. By fifteen, her luck ran out. Her step-father came out on the wrong side of a gun fight with a drunk and disorderly Browncoat and Cybil was left holding the smoking remains of a once perfect, consequence-free existence. Rather than wising up, however, she did the next best thing. She ran. Packed up her things, hitched a ride off of Beaumonde and wound up on Persephone. There, she found work here or there, mostly odd jobs, before she eventually took up a position on a shiny little cargo ship, as their engineer.


Cybil always had a knack for tinkering with mechanics- something she'd dabbled in from the time she could comprehend the science of it. Her penchant for making things that explode, however, earned her the nickname Pandora, a name she's gone by since her arrival in the White-Star system.
