Firefly/Serenity (Reloaded) [Open]

[truthworship]

GM's: truthworship & Ellesar​

Alright so here's the deal. We started this RPG when I first started here on CF. I want to try again. I'll be GMing and this is only my second time so, I love constructive criticism, but please be gentle. LOL

For a Little background check this out! This is the Captain speaking...​

Here's the starting plot:

The film centers around Captain Malcolm Reynolds, a hardened veteran (on the losing side) of a galactic civil war, who now ekes out a living pulling off small crimes and transport-for-hire aboard his ship, Serenity. He leads a small, eclectic crew who are the closest thing he has left to family - squabbling, insubordinate and undyingly loyal.

When Mal takes on two new passengers-a young doctor and his unstable, telepathic sister-he gets much more than he bargained for. The pair are fugitives from the coalition dominating the universe, who will stop at nothing to reclaim the girl. The crew that was once used to skimming the outskirts of the galaxy unnoticed find themselves caught between the unstoppable military force of the Universal Alliance and the horrific, cannibalistic fury of the Reavers, savages who roam the very edge of space. Hunted by vastly different enemies, they begin to discover that the greatest danger to them may be on board Serenity herself.

[Ellesar]

oh I'm definitely joining!

hmm...Zoe...or Jayne...or Kaylee.... I can't decide!

 

[truthworship]

Captain Malcom "Mal" Reynolds

A former soldier that lost in the battle against unification of the planets by the Alliance, Mal now captain’s the Serenity with his main goal to keep the ship flying and its crew intact. His desire for a normal life is a constant conflict with his desire to stay in space. He’s witty and very bitter over losing the war, and sometimes flies on the shady side smuggling, stealing, and conducting illegal salvage operations...but he has his limits and won’t murder, kidnap or participate in the slave trade - though he certainly won’t hesitate to shoot if needed. There are very few people he trusts and is still very upset they lost the war.

​

 

[truthworship]

First Mate Zoe


SOUND BITE
A loyal comrade during the war, Zoe serves on board the Serenity along with her husband, Wash. Has the strength and experience to take command when needed. She is a serious warrior as likely to punch or shoot someone as she is to talk. One of the few Mal trusts and she would follow him to hell and back.

 

[truthworship]

Hoban "Wash" Washburn- The Pilot


SOUND BITE
Zoe’s husband, Wash is very calm, laid back with a sense of humor but is otherwise pretty unassuming and far from the hero type. Zoe loves him and his calm demeanor...but just might have a thing for the Captain as well. He can be a bit jealous and doesn’t like the way Zoe tends to blindly (in his opinion) follow Mal’s orders.

 

[truthworship]

Kaylee-The machanic


SOUND BITE

The ship’s engineer, Kaylee prefers life on her ship to any planet. She is young, attractive, and relentlessly cheery. She loves life, the ship, and is fiercely protective of Serenity. She has an intuitive sense for ships and how to fix them and does not want to let the Captain down in keeping Serenity running smoothly.​

 

[truthworship]

Jayne-The Mercenary


SOUND BITE 1
SOUND BITE 2
Big, tough, gruff and often unpleasant, Jayne is a loyal soldier...till he gets a better offer. He’s good in a fight, but would sell out the crew in a heartbeat if there was something in it for him. He develops a begrudging respect for Mal and the rest of the crew - but if a better offer does come along, you never know where Jayne might go.

 

[truthworship]

Simon Tam-Doctor


SOUND BITE
Often disagreeing with the Captain, Simon comes from a wealthy family with a privaledged upbringing quite different from his life aboard the Serenity. He was in favor of the Alliance which puts him at odds with Mal. River is his sister and is fiercely protective of her. He rescued her from an Alliance lab where they were running test on her that apparantly made her somewhat telepathic. Once he displays his skill at planning capers though, he fits in a little better with even Jayne giving him some respect.

 

[truthworship]

River Tam - the Fugitive


SOUND BITE

River is a lot like other teens - except that she can read most minds and is being sought by the Alliance. Simon is her brother who will do anything to protect her. She is extremely smart, severely disturbed and a teenager. She's been trianed for combat and was to be used as an Alliance weapon, before her brother broke her out of the lab they were holding her in. She loves her brother very much. She tends to blurt out what she (and everyone around her) is thinking.​

 

[truthworship]

Shepherd Book - Minister/Chaplain


SOUND BITE

A priest and missionary, he’s the older and wiser member of the crew. He wants to see the universe and wants to spread hope everywhere he goes. While he’s found God, he’s not sure if he’s found himself. He’s well educated and there is more to him than meets the eye. For an unknown reason he is seen as a person of importance by the Alliance (They once made it a priority to get him to their infirmary and then let the crew of Serenity go without so much as a question.)​
