This is based on a novel I've been working on, which is slightly based on the firefly series. With a little bit of mass effect throw in there. For the sake of this id like to keep the backstory simlar. The Alliance has control of the central systems. Outside of Alliance space is what's referred to as the rebel space. There are few laws, and to keep what you own you have to fight for it. Out there credits, jett, and food can be used to buy just about anything. I have created a few people so far, but I'm looking for the rest of the crew as well as passengers. Our ship is called Seraph, she is a Venture class small cargo ship. Its an old model ship, but she can be a hellcat when you need it. I will be playing the role of Clemency, maybe another role of crew if no one takes them.

Some definitions:
Jett, a powerful drug that can be found on every planet. The highest Alliance members to the lowest whore on some desert rock use it. Its gives the user amplified telekenetic powers for a short period of time. Over use of the drug results in brain rot. There are some who have been trained to use the drug without becoming addicted, while mastering the abilities that comes with it.

Biotics, people who have been trained to use jett for combat. Most were trained by military or merc groups. They wear biotic amps during combat to amplify the attacks. Because they carry a power of their mind while being trained as super soliders, many people don't trust biotics. They are mainly loners, and don't stay in highly populated areas for long.

Kinetics, kinetic energy barriers or shields. They are personal body shields that can be easily hidden.

The Alliance makes trade for the independent planets difficult, as a result most of the outer planets use low technology. They have devloped simple ways of living, and fighting. We can aways add or change things just send me ideas. This is a invite only, please send me a player for approval.

Cap. Malcom Reynolds "Mal", he fought for the rebels in the old war. He is a outsider, that prefers to keep his business out of big brothers sight. He runs this crew very tightly, taking jobs when they can.

Clemency Duncan, she is a young biotic that was raised and trained by a merc group. They stole her when she was young from a biotic acadamy for gifted children. When she escaped from them she found work as a bouncer in a whorehouse on a outer planet. She joined Mal to find better work, they have been together for several years and have survived many battles together. They have become close over the years, she is 1st mate on Seraph and Mals right hand.

They try to keep a low profile considering the backround of the crew and cargo. Stationing on a central planets moon is only for resuppying and taking passengers. The Seraph is currently docked on Elysium, the main moon of Illium.

Clemency awoke to the familar feeling of the ships boosters and it prepared to dock. Its been too long, too long away from the civilized life of the Central planets.. She climbed off her bunk and threw on some fresh clothes. As she made her way up to the bridge Kylie stopped her with a huge grin on her face.

Kylie What are you going to do with ur free time? I plan on finding the closest dive and finding myself the best looking man in the place, and making him the luckest guy in the system!

Clem Athough that sounds just peachy, I actually have work to do. We need supplies and u need the engine parts to keep us in the sky. I hope u have fun with ur man, and good hunting. Oh wait just remember to be back soon enough to check passengers, the captain will start limiting ur shore time if u let ur social actitivities interfer in out cred flow. . They both giggled over that and Kylie dashed off with a little extra pep in her step. When she got to the bridge they had touched down and she was itching to put her feet on some solid ground.

Mal "I don't plan on staying long, dispite what the rest of the crew want. The last thing we need is questions at port. I want to make this a quick trip, get supplies, pick up anyone who will pay a fair and get the hell outta there."

Clem "I read u capn. No one who climbs abord this old gal won't be the type to ask a lot of questions."

Once she had finished her shopping for the trip, extra rations, a few minor engine parts, and jett. That was the most expensive on her list, but well worth the cost. She could buy the stuff anywhere, but here on the main planets it was the purest form. Strait from Alliance manufactures. It was dark when she returned, and she knew Kylie would have taken the passengers aboard, taught them the rules, and shown them to their bunks. Good cause she was exhausted and didn't have the energy to meet new people.
 
I'm open to all advice and suggestions. But please don't be rude, I'm open but it doesn't always mean I'm going to listen. If its helpful ill gladly accept it, id love to hear comments about it.
 
I figured there might be someone who would want to be Mal Reynolds. There is a small crew, but they might be best for all of us to play. There is a pilot, Kylie the mechanic, always room for a doctor, and a hired gun. All of these parts are negotable. I don't have a set story line yet, I'm trying to leave plenty of room for others who want to contribute to the plot. I'm really excited about this thread, so id like to people who are really interested. Preferably people who are familiar with the series.
