Futuristic Mercenaries

[Shog]

So in this RP we will, as the title suggests, play as mercenaries. This universe has a Guardians of the Galaxy type feel to it where solar systems are connected in various ways. This takes place off in the distant future, so humanity has expanded across the galaxy just like other races. This will also be heavily technology based, so while your race can have special traits or "powers," don't make that the focus of your character.

So moving onto plot... I don't have much here. I know I want us to act as a group and if most of us started off in the same group to begin with that would be best. Anyway, if anyone has any plot ideas I would love to hear them. Maybe they're hired to sabotage someone in a war or something?

Also, if we could start developing characters now that would be great. This way we can have them kind of develop around one another. To start with, I have a couple ideas for my character. He won't be much of a fighter, but good with technology and a good pilot. He'd own the ship and do most of the flying. I won't do much more than that to try and restrict other's characters as little as possible.

I hope this at least catches your attention. Oh, one last thing. If you have an idea what to name the RP please say so. PM me if you don't want to say so publicly.

Hm. Well, if you ask me, the start of the plot would probably revolve around the reputation of this mercenary band. Do they pirate vessels left and right? Do they take jobs that 'remove' figures of importance from the public view? Or do they do minor things, like smuggling? Your title could also revolve around this as well. Perhaps by including something with the name of the vessel the crew travels in.

 

[Kabboom]

Yes. Interested. Count me in. Sorta. Kinda.

I'm tired, I'll check this tomorrow. Looks promising. Character-driven plot?

 

[Shog]

Midnight Paragon
I was thinking they'd still be fairly new, but not so new that no one would bother with them. If there is a large armed conflict then they'd be hired to do whatever one side needed. If this is at a more peaceful time then they can take more odd jobs. Regardless, I don't think they should do anything as "professional" as assassinations.

Kabboom
I am hoping for more character driven plot, yes.

 

[SergiX]

This looks interesting, so if you don't mind me joining, count me in. A good name for the title would probably be the name of the ship, or the name of the group of mercenaries. I was also wondering if the character had to human, or if it can be a humanoid alien, and if the plot will be heavily story driven?

 

[Shog]

SergiX
I encourage different races, actually. If they're more bestial I may have to draw a line, but I don't expect there to be a problem. I want it to have the characters drive the story forward.

 

[SergiX]

Shog

Thanks for the reply, I can assure you that there won't be a problem, at least from me.

 

[Midnight Paragon]

Well, if that's the case, I could join. I do prefer my aliens though.

 

[Shog]

I usually prefer my aliens as well, but I'm thinking I may do at least a half human. I'll try to get it set up tonight and tag you all. I prefer a smaller group, but if you want to invite someone else feel free.
