Sci-Fi Open RP



This roleplay is set on board the exploration vessel, the U.S.S. Cassiopeia, and follows her and her crew's voyages to discover what life exists in the Milky Way galaxy. Below are listed the Cassiopeia's deion, available crew positions, and roleplayers that have already Joined. To join this roleplay, please fill out the forum below. Literate to semi-literate writers are preferred.


S h i p   D e s c r i p t i o n


Ship Name: The Cassiopeia

Ship class: Exploration PEO461

Equipment: Speeder Engine, Assassin-class cloak, Orion-class shield, Four light phase-cannons, Slipspace generator, Twin sub-light engines

Deion: The best of her class, the Cassiopeia is build for exploration. Twin sub-light engines provide exceptional and swift movement between Slipspace jumps, and Orion-class shield provides strong defense. The Cassiopeia is also protected by an advanced cloak, that muffles both radar detection and visible sighting. Only four Light-phase cannons are on board, however, so offensive is not very strong. 

Crew Capacity: 50 - 80

Essential Crewmembers: Captain, Second officer, Pilot, Engineer, Tactical Officer, Security, Navigation, Commutations Officer, Doctor, Cook

Non-essential Crewmembers: Co-pilot, Cook's assistant, Security officers, Science team

C h a r a c t e r   D e s c r i p t i o n s

Listed by Rank


Name / Pronunciation: Qince Adams [qu-IN-ce AH-dom-z]

Gender: Female

Age: 21

Species: Human

Hair: Ice white, medium length

Eyes: Amethyst purple (contacts)

Skin color / frame: Beige, petite

Height: 5' 10"

Rank: Pilot

Personality: She has a very bright, spunky personality, and is badass for a young woman of her stature. She loves her music, and will claw your eyes out (unless you're the Captain, of course) if you try to take them from her. She will either love you or hate you; almost never indifferent about a person. She seems to make friends in the most unlikely of places, and looks at the person instead of the past. She's a cold-hearted soldier when fighting, and is shockingly ruthless and deadly in battle. ((Will add later)) 

Clothing: Behind-the-head headphones; black with a blue ring around the muffs. Dark plum, spaghetti-strapped tank top with a flat neck. Black cargo pants, black military boots, and black fingerless gloves.

Other: Qince is fluent in four alien languages, each with several dialects. She hates the colors pink and yellow, and due to a childhood incident has mild claustrophobia. Nothing she can't handle. She also loves football and is told she "throws like a boy", but hey, she doesn't mind. Besides, she has a whole book of curses to throw at anyone she feels she needs to. A little known fact about her is that she has an incredible singing voice, though she has never sung in front of anyone else.


_________________________________


Name / Pronunciation: Sprat Verdair [SP-rah-t V-er-day-er]

Gender: Female

Age: 19

Species: Human

Hair: Bronze-blondish color that almost reaches her waist

Eyes: Hazel.

Skin color / frame: Pale. Deaaathly pale. .-. However quite muscular and thin.

Height: 5"11'

Rank: Chief of Security

Personality: She's very irritable. Def. don't get on her nerves. She's quiet, but voices her opinion often and can be rather rash when speaking. She doesn't think before she acts, and tends to get into several fights. She's very mischievous and likes to cause a ruckus, just to watch the dominoes fall. Contrary to many personal beliefs, she enjoys visiting lakes and walks in the cold morning air. But she tends to do this when no one is watching. She hates people like her, and tends to hang around the meek types.

Clothing: The ship uniform

Other: Despite having temper issues, she is still quite the hard worker and loves pleasing her superiors.


_________________________________


Name / Pronunciation: Ellowyn [El-LOW-win] Grey

Gender: Female

Age: 22

Species: Human

Hair: Curly, golden brown in color that reaches just to her shoulders. Normally has it pulled into a high pony.

Eyes: Grey blue

Skin color/Frame: Fair, Mocha colored skin tone, curvy

Height: 5'10''

Additional: Elle's ears are pierced in multiple places. She has double piercings on both ears, a cartilage piercing on her left ear, and on her right she has an industrial piercing. Though she tends to take them out if she ever has to do combat. She also has a tattoo on her back from a song she likes, though she keeps it covered as she now finds it embar***ing.

Rank: Engineer

Personality: Ellowyn is a bit of a tomboy. She's not necessarily the most talkative person in the world, but she's nice all the same. Shern also has got quite a mouth on her, cussing out with the big boys. Not to mention her violent temper, the slightest things get on her nerves and she tends to attack. Very tom boyish.  She is more of a listener than a talker, so she's a pretty good person to confide in. Elle is a loyal friend to her core, and she will stand by you, and try anything torn keep you safe. Now she wouldn't take a bullet for you, or catch a grenade, but she sure as hell will try and push you out of the way (literally and metaphorically). She loves engines, and anything to do wit mechanics, she always dreamed of working on a great ship like this one. She is often seen when not working eating and reading. Shes not into girly things and no sense of anything. When out of uniform she dresses decently, nothing so revealing, or eye catching. She has a good sense of humor and can be rather childish sometimes, even a little coy if the time is right. She is also pretty reckless, and could be known as the ship alcoholic. Considering she likes to drink, and she prides herself in being able to out-drink any on the male crew members.

Clothing: Normally seen wearing the ships uniform. She's not into picking out a different outfit everyday, and she figures they wouldn't make uniforms if they weren't meant to be worn.


Other: Fluent in two languages, and a few alien dialects. She has field/combat training, but she often isn't allowed out. Because she's reckless, and a bit of a berserker in battle.



_________________________________



Name / Pronunciation: Jethro Reagan [j-ETH-row RAY-GON]

Gender: Male

Age: 25

Species: Human

Hair: Black

Eyes: Blue

Height: 6'3''

Additional: Jethro is in shape, like all soldiers should be. He doesn't work out enough for any bulk, but he clearly has a six pack. His eyes are a clear cornflower blue which tend to stand out against his dark hair and pale skin. His mouth is always in a grin, (although some might call it a sneer) which show off his white teeth and his deep dimples. The boy also has quite a collection of tattoo's. Nothing stupid or ridiculous, like some of the biker gangs. He's more cl***y than that. Across his upper back, he has a tattoo that says Affliction and his chest two inches bellow his right collar bone in smaller letters says  Evil is just a point of view.  The inside of his left forearm he has  another tattoo that says Carpe Diem.While on his right, along the side of his forearm it says We are our own devils; we make this world our hell.

Rank: Tactical Officer

Personality:  Now Jethro isn't what most would call nice. Sure he has his moments, but that will be quickly followed by something mean. He is the type of boy who will refuse to call a girl by her name, most likely giving her an annoying nick name or calling her a different name that starts with the same letter. He is a easily irritated, violent guy, not to mention head-strong. He will never back down from a fight and will most likely fight to the death, unless someone intervenes. He tells thing exactly like it is, sparring no ones feelings. He's known to not exactly follow protocol, which can get him into trouble. There of course is also a playful side to him. He can be rather coy at times, not to mention he makes innuendos and is the first the drop sexual jokes or pick up on them. Sure he may come across as a jerk but those who decide to stick around tend to see he's not always that hard faced soldier he put up. He really is a loyal friend, helping you when you fall, or kicking the guys *** who pushed you down. And although most may never see it, seeing as it is a rare thing indeed, Jethro has a soft side to him. He will do anything for a friend, even if it means killing someone.  He will be your shoulder to cry on, provided you don't get snot on his shirt. And although its unbelievable, the boy loves kids, even though he calls them little brats and will swear that he hates them till he's blue in the face, he does. He likes small animals and children, he has some sort of maternal instinct (if that's what you could call it) to protect. Oh yes, there are many layers to Jethro, do you think you can unwrap the all?

Clothing: Jethro being a lazy man, prefers to just wear the ships uniform. He knows its not mandatory but he likes how professional it is.


Other: Jethro is a skilled fighter, earning him the tactical officer position. His tactics might not exactly follow protocol, but they get the job done. He his great with any weapons, and will resort torn hand to hand fighting if need be.

Name / Pronunciation: Shen Wei Tian [Shen Way Tee-an] - goes by Wei

Gender: female

Age: 23

Species: Human; Chinese nationality

Hair: Coal black; cut in a sharp bowl-like shape that frames her jaw, with straight-cut bangs hanging just over her eyes.

Eyes: Amber or golden, Asian in shape

Skin color / frame:
 Pale golden, very Chinese in colour, with smooth, untouched skin. She
is very small and petite, with much of her weight (which is far heavier
than you might think) made up of muscles.

Height: 5'3"

Rank: Navigation Officer

Personality:
 The kind of girl who kicks a lot of butts and doesn't apologize
afterwards. Not a very happy person - morose and quiet, keeps to
herself, but has a hell of a temper if you wake up her temper. Not
really a person to cross, especially since she has absolutely zero
positive feelings for the rest of the crew.

Clothing:
 A typical ship's uniform that has been tailored to Wei's tastes. It now
 has short arms, and is close fitting, with a pair of loose black
trousers that tighten at the ankle. The stripes still remain on her
shoulder, but it's slightly cut off. Think a Cheongsam cut into a
shirt... or something.

Other:
 Learned navigation from the stars and distrusts any sort of instrument
that is somehow supposed to 'read' their position for her. Also knows
fluent Chinese and practices Southern Praying Mantis style, Chow Gar
branch.

_________________________________




Name: Ally Richards

Gender: Female

Age: 24

Species: Human

Hair: A layered variation of blonde, on the verge of light and medium. On the inside la
yer, it's dark brown. She has somewhat choppy, right-swept bangs.

Eyes: Dark green

Skin color: Light tan, leaning towards the paler side.

Height: 5" 7.5'

Rank: Doctor

Personality: Sweet, Ally will always strive for perfection, so you could say she's a bit of a perfectionist. She never likes failing and wants to please others. Deeper on the inside, Ally has a bit of a devious and mischievous personality. She prefers to not let this part shine through, so it is rare. She is quite stubborn and hard-headed, and usually thinks things through. Ally likes to make decisions for what's best for others. Ever since she was little, Ally has enjoyed the study of medicine and learning anything and everything. Being a doctor was her dream.

Clothing: She wears a light green shirt and dark turquoise-colored pants, and then a white, long jacket with a small pocket on the front. It has buttons that she may or may not choose to use. She usually has a pen in her little pocket, as well, and a lanyard holding her doctor's ID hangs from her neck. It's a dark blue with small white markings.

Other: To picture her jacket, imagine the classic-style white doctor's jackets.

Name / Pronunciation: Kate [k-AE-te]

Gender: Female

Age: 23

Species: Human

Hair: Black, shoulder length

Eyes: Dark brown; black unless you look at them closely

Skin color: Beige

Height: 5" 7'

Rank: Cook

Personality: Kate doesn't look like someone you would find in the kitchen, preparing meals for a hungry crew. She has a bad temper and struggles to control it, but it often results in a clash of some sort. Kate, while passionate about cooking and food, would rather an adventure in her life, but for now she is settled on feeding people. She is extremely stubborn and can be a bit dull at times, due to being dropped on her head as a baby. She is a loyal member of her crew and is generally easy to get along with. Unfortunately, she can be a teensy bit sensitive when it comes to critique about her food.

Clothing: Kate doesn't wear the usual cook's uniform; she thinks it's ugly and too plain. Instead, she wears a long, black overall coat that reaches her knees, a black shirt tucked into black pants, and the over-the-knee pirate-like boots (also black). Her overall coat has green, embroidered dragons snaking up the sides.

Other: Kate's hidden passion is writing and hopes someday to retire as an author.


_________________________________


Name: Umbra [UM-brah] Silvers

Gender: Female

Age: 16

Species: Human

Hair: Blue-black, like a raven. Down to her waist, usually kept in a plait.

Eyes: Grass-green, flecked with teal.

Skin color / frame: Pale, though not very. A very light build.

Height: 5" 7'

Rank: Doctor's assistant

Personality: Umbra is naturally a very quiet girl. She spends her time either studying various books, or sitting next to a window, gazing out at the stars; trying to pick out planets or asteroids. She dislikes loud noises, but can be made to enjoy some sounds if she gets used to them over time. Very shy, Umbra is usually one of the last ones to speak up about anything, or say her mind, but if she has something she feels truly needs to be said, she will. She just doesn't like to say things unnecessarily, is all, and doesn't like wasting her voice with idle chit-chat. At least, that's what she says; the truth is probably that she just doesn't have someone to spend any time talking to her, so she doesn't.

Clothing: Umbra wears faded-black denim jeans and a loose, indigo top. The top is short-sleeved, cutting just off her shoulders, but you normally can't see her arms anyway because she chooses to wear a denim jacket over it. She usually wears violet trainers, with light blue stitching and dark red laces.

Name / Pronunciation: Sam Cress [s-A-m cr-ESS]

Gender: Male

Age: 14

Species: Human

Hair: Dirty blonde, short

Eyes: Bright blue

Skin color / frame: Light tan, thin

Height: 5' 8"

Rank: Cook's assistant

Personality: Sam is a hardworking kid, and is anything but quiet. He works in the kitchen and mess hall as a busboy and a chef, and often gets into trouble for visiting with the crew too long. He is a little clumsy and bit of an airhead, so the Cook doesn't often let him work with the food. However, he is trustworthy, caring, and friendly, and gets along well with everyone.

Clothing: Whatever he had under an apron.

Other: Sam is a minor character, and will develop throughout the story more.

F A Q


Q: Are there uniforms that crew members wear?

A: There is a ship uniform, but it isn't worn by all the crew members. It is a normal, black uniform, with a pair of white stripes starting on the right shoulder and running down the arm. There is also a badge that would be somewhat difficult to describe, on the opposite arm. The badge reads "The U.E.N. Cassiopeia" (United Earth Nations), and is supposed to show planet Earth nestled in a bed of stars.

Q: How many people do we need until we start?

A: The number of people doesn't really matter, but all rank positions listed as "essential crew members" need to be filled. Then we can start.

Q: Can my character be an alien?

A: I'm considering changing this, but unless your idea for an alien is really neat and fits with the storyline, human only please.
