here's a link to the info thread: http://www.rpnation.com/showthread.php/2120-The-Outer-Rim?p=56408#post56408
Ok so here goes nothing! so as i said before, humans are allowed, and only humans, unless you pm me with sheer brilliance. also, psionics falll under the only sheerly brilliant pming rule. with that in mind, here's my character, as an example. just use the bolded text on yours. Also, in your history, i'd vastly preffer people who are not so friendly with the federation. after all, we are criminals xD
possible roles include pilot, engineer, 2nd in command (must have been longtime crewmember) doctor, and security guard. of course, other roles that fit the setting are allowed
rules are basically you have free run of your character, and cna control npc's to a certain extent, but that's mostly what i'll be doing. besides of course Jim. plus no cybernetics, they haven't figured that technology out yet. genetically, slight enhancements are ok, but only to about 1.5 human normal effectiveness.
Also, because there are over half a billion star systems, feel free to create your own planet/system/culture for your history, i may have a basic plan for where we're going, but your characters are important and their histories WILL be incorporated into the story!
name: James Kisner Zarich
Age: 47
nickname: Jim
role: captain
personality: Jim knows how to fight, and knows it well, but better yet, he knows how to talk and bluff his way out of trouble. A rebel without a winnable cause, he hates the federation just as much as any other rim worlder, probably more, as his home planet Zilestra V was glassed by the federation (this is hoe the federation puts down rebellions) along with his whole family. Most of the time, Jim is a jovial man, quick to laugh at himself and others, and quick to lend a hand to those in need. But Jim's past weighs heavily on him. He blames himself for his family's death on Zilestra V, and, because of that, is very protective of his crew and ship, considering anyone on the Albadar's crew to be his kin.
Physical Description: Jim is a tall man, at 6'7” he towers above most men, and his flaming red hair makes him stand out in almost any crowd even more. His face is that of a man used to being low on his luck, and even lower on funds. His green eyes flash from the upper part of his face, right above a scar slashed across his left cheek from a vibro-knife in a bar fight, rendering that eye the milky white of a blind man. He has the well muscled frame of a man who hits the gym every day, which he does, but his hands are callused more from moving boxes than holding a gun or any other weapon. Jim usually wears a brown duster and a black cowboy's hat to hide his hair while planet side, but on his ship he wears the uniform of the Zilestran militia in remembrance of his past.
History: James had an average life as a man on the Outer Rim. Born and raised on Zilestra V, he had an uneventful childhood, and as he grew up he joined the Zilestran Millitia, where met that special someone, Kyra. After a year they married, and shortly thereafter they had two sons and a daughter. This is when James became a legitimate merchant. he did odd jobs to keep afloat while spending months on Zilestra with his family, always hoping to make a better life for his family.
Then came what the Federation term "The Zilestran Rebellion". In reality only a few cities on Zilestra 4 rebelled, but that's the way things are when you're the corrupt governing body of the vast territories of the human race. And so, as is Federation policy, they glassed the whole system. (glassing means nuking the plent's surface until it is no longer able to sustain life) James and his ship, the Albadar, was away on business when he found out, and the news almost crushed him. He was looking for a new role in life after the destruction of his home world, just trying to keep afloat, keep moving, and keep desperation and insanity at bay. He found a year later, when he realized that there was at least one way he could get back at the Federation, and took on his first illegit shipping job, becoming a smuggler. since then, he has basically been keeping under the radar and making a living on the outer rim for the last 14 years of his life.
