Topic: Destiny's Flight - A Serenity RPG Subject: *******
BACKSTORY
His name was John Christian Kane, JC for short, and he was a gunfighter. Not your western movie type, he had never had a street type gunfight as shown in the old Earth That Was movies, however you could compare him at times though. He was calm in the face of a fight, showing nothing on his face. Able to out stare an opponent in a card game and able to stare many people away with just his eyes and a set jaw and never say a word. A very tough SOB as spoke of by some that knew his name and his speed with his low slung personalized Avenger pistol. No stranger to the street, having walked them as a mob enforcer, and to many an Alliance bounty hunter a wanted man, a high bounty yet on his head, there had not yet been one better then he in a stand up fight. Unfortunately it was not a stand up fight that had got him in the end, but a set-up ambush by a ‘friend‘, a dead friend now. Dying, almost dead, his left arm gone, in what could only be called a vain ironic moment of triumph his ‘friend’, his boss really who had set him up, chose yet to save him and give him a stronger synthetic arm. In the end his former boss’s vanity was his undoing as JC cold bloody killed him and his White Tiger’s without a shred of remorse.
Then life became bad, very, very bad for the ex-gunfighter as he had no home and nothing to stop the pain of a non fully functioning arm. A fast hand turned to a beggar, a war hero turned vagrant, he came close to killing himself for no other reason then it was better then living. He went so far as to try to rip-off a former friend to gain the items for a quick death. However if not for the unasked for help from this same Browncoat war buddy, taking him in on his ship Destiny, JC knew that he would have successfully, somehow, ended his existence. With the help of Gracie, Destiny’s grease monkey and Doc Steph the arm was better, less pain and trouble though it did have a tendency to remind him all was not yet ok with it. He had also recounted with another old friend Tess Zhou who not surprisingly was the Destiny’s pilot. She too had fought beside him and Jon in the war so a bond was not needed to form over time it was already there from the start.
However of them all, most old friends, it was the newest person among them he seemed to connect with the most. Her name was Angela, or at least it was most of the time, however she had, despite her memory problems or who she was at the moment, sat by his bedside during the worst of the pain. Where at first she had been a stranger, talking to him clearly as another who knew real physical pain as well as the emotional. Somewhere in that time the two had bonded in an unspoken love, not of romance or sexual, but a love like brother and sister.
It was during one of his solo outings that he had stubble across a clothing store carrying a number of old style clothing including a very well worn yet sturdy poncho. Liking the look of it with its combination gray and brown colors and its mex type symbols he bought it. The way it helped conceal his 4 guns was also a plus and he became very fond of it. Then over time the poncho came to be a part of JC’s image, the first thing most people noticed about him. This piece of clothing became connected to him and along with his reputation as a fast gun caused many would be ‘gunfighters’ to avoid him. Yet in private sometimes things were very different as there were times when the past of the war, his time as a killer for nothing more then money, and the blood on his hands came in the night to haunt him and his heavy drinking and smoking was prove he was not yet 100% whole. Only time would erase those ghosts.
THE PRESENT
JC was bored as he sat on his bunk, one leg spread out flat the other bent up at an angle, tossing a tennis ball back and forth between his right hand and the wall. It was an old habit when not involved in anything to help keep his arm in shape and toned for action. He had tried throwing a different tennis ball with his left once but ended up with a crushed useless piece of furred fabric. So now he did it only with his right and only when bored out of his mind. Now you have to understand though never looking for trouble, JC still loved finding it, testing himself vs. the other guy with gun, games of chance, or just his bare hands. Having lived life both as one with money in his pocket and one with only lint he was not one to like sitting around bored. And bored was what was the word of this day once more, the fifth since they had dropped off the cargo of pure shit that had left a very distinct smell as to scare any new clients away. So when Grace announced she had found them a job he was all for going to check it out.
“I got us a job and with the way this guy works, we won’t have to worry about the smell scaring him off.”
Grace told Jon she had a line on a local underworld boss by the name of Badger who JC was unfamiliar with when asked, who was looking for a fast ship to ferry five passengers to a cruise ship for some big event. The five had to be there on time, with no delays. As JC listened to Grace’s description that though Badger was a mid level criminal in the scheme of things with delusions of grandeur, he did have connects and ran a lot of various well paying jobs. A good run could make the Destiny’s rep for sure but a bad one could sink it faster the an old Earth that Was battleship. JC had no choice but to advocate caution as having lived that life and been betrayed by it, knew you never trust a criminal boss of anything, mid level or not. However they needed the money and the ex-beggar JC knew you never could be choosy.
The meeting was set up for 6 pm that evening to discuss the job and payment, at the underground business office of Badger himself, moving back to his quarters JC got ready. Avenger, black ivory handles engraved with the head of a growling white wolf, low on his hip, Berliner holstered in the small of his back. Next was the Tegra under his left arm and the Neo-tech up his right, all with rounds chambered and safeties on. Or as the old gunfighter saying went ‘cocked and locked‘. Yeah he had to admit to himself carrying four guns was a bit excessive but he would rather have them and not need them, then need them and die for leaving them behind on the ship.
Hey he thought to himself At least I’m leaving the X40 behind Sparing a glance at its hidden hidey hole. Wouldn’t that be a sight Laughing to himself he went to meet up with the others headed to the meet.

Topic: Treasure Seekers QnA Subject: Hammer
I'm dropping out ok. I know I had told you a month back I'd stay in till we returned to town but with my Son coming for a 20+ day visit I will not be doing much posting, including to Trilogy. I'm sorry to possibly be leaving you hanging with a combat upcoming but I just wish there had not been such a long gap between your posts so Crow could have made a better exit.
Good luck with the game and I will be lurking.

Topic: Voyages of Rocinante - Serenity/Firefly RPG Subject: More of a backpost
BACKPOST
As Wolf gathered the extra ammo and gear he caught a glimpse of a bucket full of junked parts. Inside this bucket he knew were quite a bit of mangled steel shavings, worn out ball bearings, and various bent and damaged nails. Remembering an old moving he had once watched, the idea of creating IED’s came to his mind. Knowing that Wyatt had the boys creating bombs what better way to get rid of this useless junk then to use it to protect the ship and crew. Grabbing the large bucket with a smile on his face he headed for a stop with the ’bomb makers’ then continued to the Mule pulling it outside the ship.
PRESENT
Though he had intended to drive the Mule to the Atmo Processor he was instead told he would be riding the shuttle with Wyatt and a few others while Ash and the Lady Thief took the mule and went about taking pictures of the case. Not minding one bit he climb aboard found, a seat and got ready for the quick flight to the processor.
