Ok cool beans.

Oh as to ship, I vote Destiny class because its a fast mover. Since we got no guns I want to be able to out run Reavers lol

Oh we need to vote for the ship? Destiny. Reavers are mean lol 

Vote: Firefly Class (I like maps and I have no idea what a Destiny Class ship looks like or what its floorplan is. I do, however, know the Firefly Class rather well and have floorplan maps).

I may have lost all my Destiny maps?!??! Can not locate them on old server. That could make this a moot point

Quirk: It occasionally vents cool mist in certain areas (2,3,6,7,15 and 21). This mist swirls and disappears quickly and is no harm to anyone. However some of you have noted that the mist often looks like a lady dressed in white. A ghost? Well, no one believes in ghosts do they?

What's your vote? 

Roc or Destiny?

As I said a few days ago when joining this gig, I really won't have a lot of time to do anything until the first week of July - probably around the 7th or so.  I will try to look at things before then, but . . . .I am actually taking off on Thursday for a delayed honeymoon.  (I got married in December.)  Now, I know your thinking that every bride out there wants to spend their honeymoon looking at RPG stuff witht their groom, but I'm not sure this one would agree. Although she actually understands quite a bit and I even have hopes of getting her in here someday.  We are taking a train ride through the Rockies and back with some time in California so there will be some down time to work.  But, honestly, it will be a bit.  

Since I know just about nothing about this world I am more than willing to follow the rest of you in this.  Certainly in the choice of ship and whatnot.  

Having read the background stuff that was posted I do have a bit of an idea.  He is middle aged.  An academic raised and educated in the Alliance.  He spent a lot of time researching old philosophy and found himself getting interested in a lot of ideas that turned out to be a bit dangerous in the world of the Alliance.  Philosophically there are a lot of positives to what the Alliances offeres, but uncovering very old (Earth!) writings by people like Thomas Paine, John locke, Monesquieu and Voltaire have led to ideas and writing that are no longer popular in the big worlds.  People began to take notice.  And so he dropped off the grid. He went to the outer planets where he . . . . not sure exactly.  He is an academic.  But I could see him becoming a pilot as well to earn a living.  All while searching for old writings and leaving his own behind.  Traits such as:  Intellectual, academic, strong moral code, off the grid etc....

Name taken from a previous character on this site:  Alexander Castlebrandt.  But is that the name he gave up or the one he took on?  

Thoughts?

On the wedding have a great honeymoon.

(Think to myself that maybe thats why I never got married, too much RPG) 

I doubt we will be ready to start with the game until July anyways.  I like the idea for a character and great name too.

Thanks Ody for finding a backup of the ship layout

Had a few hiccups due to my laptop taking a pepsi bath curteousy of my 3 year old, so my character is getting there. Tann has been a huge help in that reguard, as i've been using my phone for the majority of this. My hubby has been kind to allow me to use his laptop until mine gets fixed or i get a new one with all my data transfered to a new one (if my harddrive wasn't ruined.) 

So I sort of see this game as a parallel universe. We may bring in old characters we are familure playing, histories can be the same but has happened on Rec or Destiny in the other games hasnever happened in the verse.

I see this as the crew is coming together for the first time and having to figure out how to get along. 

I was also thinking the parallel universe, alternate time line, wimey whimey kinda thing

I'm changing my vote: Destiny.
