[GUNINANRUNIN]

This is Lulolarla, where there's no such thing as "land", and everyone floats about on cities made of metal and airships made of wood. The whole blasted place is filled to the brim with thieving rogues, cutthroat pirates and conniving merchants all fighting for one thing: money. You've got to struggle to survive in this world, and no one will just roll over to give you what you want. It'll take more than a fast gun and a sharp sword to win the skies, you need a Captain! Whats that you say? You want your own ship?! Well, you do make a convincing argument.. I suppose you're right, this sounds like your kind of crowd! But before we get into this whole 'leader' business, first we need to know..

Just who the hell are you? - Copy paste this character sheet and fill it out. Vote up other people's sheets with a "+1". Most popular character becomes the main character! Its important that you stick to the format.
Name: ---
Gender (men and women are treated the same in this world, so go nuts): M/F
Appearance (detail is a must): ---
Profession (this determines what sort of ship, crew and items you start with): Trader, Mercenary, Pirate <--- YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE ONE OF THESE
Combat (you're picking guns or melee to be skilled in): If some muggy walked up and smashed a chair over your head, would you put a blade in his gut, or a bullet?

Almost forgot. Bold your suggested actions. Thoughts are in italics. Dialogue must be coloured.

Name: Genten Corbin
Gender: Male
Appearance: In his middle ages, but time hasn't been very kind to him. He is proudly bald, and his skin is rather pale making his premature wrinkling stand out. His eyes are both dull and cold; he's seen enough of the world to not be impressed by anything, and done enough not be a phased by most of it.

He wears an old leather riding jacket, that has been patched over with silk in an attempt to make it look like a dinner jacket. Underneath said jacket he wears a closely knit chain-mail shirt, and of course, a tie. As for his lower half, he tends to wear grey armoured cargo pants... don't ask.
 
Profession: A, combative trader... You would be tempted to call him a pirate, but he manages to stay just within the bounds of the law... when the law is looking. For the most part, he deals in coin and jewels - but will never pass up a good trading opportunity. Because Lulolarla is not what he'd call a... politically stable location, he is always sure to have some sort of firepower, which he has two uses for: Fending of pirates, and being a pirate.

Combat: If some muggy walked up and smashed a chair over his head, said muggy would find a set of brass knuckles firmly lodged in their groin, followed by a dirk in the back. Within his Cargo pants, he carries an array of long daggers, cherry bombs and not a few poisons. EDIT: That's Melee

Heh, nice try Hyph. Probably won't be giving you most of those items right off the bat, but you're welcome to go buy them when the game starts. ;P

[Hyph_K31]

I had to try!!

In any case, I sort of wrote that from a future point of view.

[Gotcha!]

Name: Lance Hlott

Gender: Male

Appearance:
42 years old,
Black, greasy and unkept short hair, which is getting gray here and there,
old pilot sungoggles (Topgun style, really out of fashion),
light beard/mustache growth (like a week or two of non-shaving),
wears old jeans and a really cheap, horrible, green hawaiian shirt,
has chest hair sticking out (also showing gray hair) and hairy arms,
has a length of 1.75 meters,
has a mild developing belly due to beer drinking,

Profession: Trader in illegal goods, aka: Smuggler

Combat: Would hit the person against his chin, spin him around, put his hand down the person's pants, grab his underwear and pull it out for 10 seconds, aka atomic wedgie. During the ten seconds an uncomfortably weird grin would appear on Lance's face. After that Lance would go back to what he was doing, completely ignoring the chair smasher.

Edit: Melee

[GUNINANRUNIN]

I specifically want you guys to choose knife, or bullet, so I can determine whether your character specialises in melee, or guns. The same goes for profession, but so far its pretty clear both of you guys chose trader.

Lance Everett

Male

Profession - Military

Age - 26

A stubborn, well composed man, with a tendency to overstep his jurisdiction. Average height and muscular build with a TX-9750 series cybernetic arm due to small incident during The battle for Coranas IV (see case file 20756/B)

Light shaven with a small scar across left cheek. Obtained during sentence of public whipping due to insubordination and the ignorance of orders. Commonly seen wearing the old military uniform he wore during the battle for Coronas IV, a tight fitting military jacket with an underlying black thin-print Kevlar full bodysuit and sporting old khaki trousers, with a set of black, finely polished military shoes to boot.

Prefering the more ranged stance in combat (gauss rifles/ballistic rifle), Lance is the kind of guy you would hear laughing at you before your head exploded from a 75 caliber Thydo-pressed hollow tip gauss round.
However, he is not shy to meeting a foe head on in closes ranged combat with his signature, hand crafted, dual wielded, curved blades.

Currently employed by the Military captaining a small destroyer set to patrol the Coranas and Nelba border, already being proven in combat a number of times, during which using reckless motives to achieve victory, even at the cost of other crew.

Once spoken by him during an interview after the battle for Coronas IV - "The thing about a rifle is that you get to see the reaction.........the look of calm and composure on a face......they may be talking to friends, planning a strike team with other officers..........then everything changes...............I like that"

(How's that)

[GUNINANRUNIN]

(How's that)

Awful. For one you made up a profession. For two you took away the tags so I have to dig to figure out what I'm looking at, plus he's some sort of sci-fi character, and your sheet references fighting on different worlds. Perhaps I should've been more clear about the setting, because its steampunk, and you're talking about gauss rifles and having a cybernetic limb.

Fortunately this is all really easy to fix. Just take out the space stuff, stick to my format, and you're good. You can even keep the robot arm, it'll just be steam-powered instead of being cybernetic.

[GUNINANRUNIN]

Other than the confusions regarding profession, combat, the setting, and how character sheets work, each of these sheets are among the best characters I've ever gotten for any game, ever. Its okay if you mess up a bit here and there, since you're still learning just how this is meant to work.

Confession:

When I first read the title of the thread, I thought of this.

[GUNINANRUNIN]

Thats hilarious. XD

[Sproginator]

Oh, steam punk? I was hoping for more Firefly style, nevermind then I won't be playing haha

[Hyph_K31]

Oh, steam punk? I was hoping for more Firefly style, nevermind then I won't be playing haha

I don't think it really matters, as far as I know, it's just visual styles - which cannot be seen in a text game. Oh well. :p

[GUNINANRUNIN]

Oh.. :C

I never would've thought anyone could've confused airship with spaceship.

[Sproginator]

Nah I didn't, I just sort of hoped it was more sci-fi but Wild West styled
