FIREFLY RPG- Character Creation

Feel free to join everyone else.

Why is Toki on Gan Ying, though?

Just a pointer Phoenix, you based your skills on Intimidation and Leadership, but then you maxed out your Willpower attribute. Intimidation and Leadership run off Charisma, so they would be much more effective if you maxed out Charisma instead of Willpower.

Just saying, if you wanted it that way then I'm just ranting.

Aaand it looks like I'm not going to be making an accurate orbital model. Because I found one. Much better than what I was hoping to make, too... Here is a direct link to a flash-based 'interactive' map.

He joined in hopes of taking an easier route on his duty to the 'Verse. Aboard the Gan Ying he can go more unnoticed as the seven scarred soldier. He also gets to help the captain and his fellow crew members and anyone who's path they may cross. I hope that makes sense.

No problem I appreciate your concern and advice. I wanted him to have high willpower because of his stern sense of duty and justice, however he could use one more on Charisma. If it's ok with Rex then I would like to reduce my WP to 4 and raise my Charisma up one.

So he's stepping out of the limelight, then. Reputation will still get him noticed, but he's moving away from the Central Planets so it is not nearly as bad... I get your meaning.

Certainly, Wei.

Well, I finished it. Now we've got an Excel spreadsheet that can, with some accuracy, calculate travel times from any planet in the 'Verse to any other planet in the 'Verse. It won't calculate the additional or reduced time required to reach a Moon rather than a planet, or a planet orbiting a brown dwarf rather than the brown dwarf itself, but the amount of time it'd take the Gan Ying to travel those paltry distances is pretty much negligible anyways.

Sorry for the double-post: I'm heading out of the country for ten days, so my internet access will become rather limited. Hopefully I'll still be able to check posts and keep up, but you never know.

Also, is this the right thread to use for OOC banter/announcements like this?

You can usually just post this sort of stuff in the game thread. This way the CC thread stays clean for reference, and people are more likely to check the game thread.

I think Rex mentioned he was going to put together a social thread for the game? I dunno.

Yes indeed; will put it together soon.

My apologies for my lack of activity as well. I am still here though.

I apologize as well! I didn't anticipate how busy I would be with the start of school, but now we've gotten out of the doldrums. Next stop Gan Ying makes we'll re-evaluate who is still playing with us and who is getting off to pursue other interests.

Are you still taking character applications? I'm just now coming back from a hella long KMC hiatus and I saw this thread. I've never actually seen Firefly, but I've read enough about it and seen enough screenshots to get the gist of it. I can probably have a solid concept by tomorrow.

Imma still playin', word.

Nevermind, just noticed you're already playing. Didn't look around that well, but if you'd be looking to add a player I'm up for that.

Hey Dubya! You're more than welcome to join in. I think we've lost a few players already so I have no problem sticking you in next game (or this game, if I can work it in).

Didn't you used to play in the Star Wars games, too?

I tried joining in one of the prequel games, but never managed to really do much. I think I was in for one scene before IRL problems barged in and I couldn't play. I also signed up for one of the Matrix games, but never got a chance to do anything.

EDIT: I also signed up for one of the OT games, which I also only lasted for one scene in...

EDIT 2: I've got a bit of a concept running right now, and I wanna see if it sounds any good. The guy's a former Browncoat who's lately been living his life wandering from place to place (obviously, using the drifter template for this). I don't have much else past that, but I'm working on it.

Yeah, I thought that was you! Well, welcome back to KMC. Feel free to whip up a character for the Firefly game, and I'm glad to chip in any advice or info you need (as are the other players, I'm sure).

Working on a background, should be done with it by the end of the weekend at the latest. A general outline of what I have so far is in my above post.

Looks good! Just post the background when you're set and I'll let you know when you're able to join in.
