A large poster is posted at the entrance of one of the last remaining Federation loyal space stations. It shows a picture of the spectacular Federation fleet orbiting their home planet of Xenia V. Underneath it is the text, "Push back the Rebels! Please report to your nearest recruitment center to find out how you can become one of the Federation's finest."
As you walk into the recruitment center, a young man in a clean white and orange Federation uniform asks you to please fill out an application and turn it into the box to his left.
The application asks for your full name, age, race (Human/Humanoid, Zoltan, Engi, Mantis, Rockman, Lanius, Slug, or Crystal.), Gender, and Profession(Engineer, Marine, Pilot, or Medic).
(For those unfamiliar with FTL, please review this link for information on the races. http://ftl.wikia.com/wiki/Races (http://ftl.wikia.com/wiki/Races))

Forgot to add this with my sheet post, but I have never played FTL before. I have friends (the guys currently in the RP :P) to ask when needed, but let me know if I goof up.

IMPORTANT
I'm making a minor change in order to better tie into the story. The Thunderchild is no longer painted white and orange, but has a custom purple and red paint job with large pirate logo's plastered onto the side of the engines.
I apologize for any inconvenience.

Normally I'd say no since we already have enough characters, but I like your CS a lot, so welcome aboard!

Is there a posting order? or do we just post when our character has something to do?
-
Might not be an issue, but I'm going back to work this week so there might be some delay with posting. I posted just now, so today is probably covered, but I might be gone for most of the day throughout the week.

There is no particular posting order, no. However, I would prefer if characters did not get left behind.
I should have specified this at the start, sorry.

That's fine, friend. Life always comes first.

Pictured above is how the ship is laid out, with a few rooms added for RP reasons.
A few points:
Door control and surveillance control are in the same room next to weapons.
The ship features 3 weapons, a small raigun turret, a small shield piercing missile turret, and a large main battery laser cannon.
The railgun turret and the missile turret are reloaded automatically via an ammo belt system (But can be reloaded manually if need be), and the laser cannon does not need reloading (It gets it's power directly from the reactor, and cannot be fired if the reactor is knocked out).
In the event of a reactor failure the ship can function on a backup battery for a while at minimal function (FTL jumps with a long wind up time and basic piloting).
The ship DOES NOT have access to drone control.
The ship DOES have access to teleportation.
The medical station also serves as a basic lab.
Crew responsibilities are as follows:
Pilot pilots
Captain captains
Marine is in charge of weapons and security (Cameras and doors) and also takes part in all boarding parties.
Engineers oversee engines, reactors, and hull repairs.
Medic heals but also oversees general science.
For the sake of keeping things interesting, combat is handled via dice rolls I will be making behind the scenes. When somebody goes to make a skill/combat related action, I will roll a D20 with a predetermined DC and will post in the results. I also have control over all NPCs
EXAMPLE 1:
Posted by: Bob
Bob goes to disarm the old lady and subdue her
Posted by: Oedipus Rex
Roll of 18 with a DC of 10
Bob successfully disarms the lady, the turnip that she was previously using as a weapon falls to the floor as he performs a well executed tombstone pile-driver on her. She is rendered unconscious.
EXAMPLE 2:
Posted by: Sarah
Sarah attempts to revive the old lady so that she may learn her secret butterscotch pudding recipe.
Posted by: Oedipus Rex
Roll of 2 with a DC of 10
Sarah attempts to inject the old lady with a revival serum, but instead accidentally injects her with Weretypus saliva. The old lady quickly transforms into a human-platypus hybrid. Her weak old heart, however, can't take the pressure of being a mammal that lays eggs, and explodes. She dies instantly.
If anybody has a better idea of how combat should be handled feel free to let me know. I'm just making this up as I go.

I am not fully OK with the dice roll thing, I will just ask. Is it possible to die in this RP due to bad dice rolls? The issue is, my characters often do stupid things which I still consider in-character (and hence, the right thing to do in an RP). Adding rolls that have the potential to kill my character might make me "play it safe" even when that's out of character. :S
As for the NPC thing, that's 100% fine by me.
((Also, don't pause the RP to make changes. Right now nothing life threatening is happening anyway.))
-

No, death would be highly unlikely, just more of a failed attempt at some action
I would appreciate some feedback on the current changes from the other 5 people in the RP. Nothing is set in stone, you lot have just as much control over decisions regarding the RP as I do.
-
I don't mind it
-
I do not mind either, as long as a one will not end up in death 100% of the time.
-
Who are we waiting on currently?
-
Twas me, sorry. Been busy.
-
Going to Thanksgiving and stuff right now so skip me.
-
*Poke*
anyone going to post a thing?
-
*poke poke*
Hello? this dead?
-
Requesting permission to Take over this RP, as the Original Poster seems to be missing.
-
I have no objections to such course of action.
-
Seeing that the OP of this role-play has been gone for an extended amount of time, I'm granting Angder control of this role-play until the OP returns.
-
Thank you.
OOC question, what should we do with the captain? my thought is he is hit with some kind of weapon or attack, someone else becomes captain, and the original is confined to quarters until we either drop him off, or the ship explodes. That way we can justify him coming back if the player comes back, but don't have to control his character.
-
That idea sounds perfectly fine to me, Cap'n
-
I mean given the delay for us deciding on which ship to shoot that could be explained by a stray laser blast hitting the ship and knocking the captain unconscious?
-
That was my thoughts exactly.

BLAAAAAAAAAAAGH. Terrible post is terrible, but I needed to get the captain knocked out so we could move on.

I know your post was meant as a joke Mesmero. but **censor** it, I am writing a serious response! If the RP is dead, you can't stop me, if the RP is alive, its because I wrote a serious response! :P
