waypoint 775 (Scifi RP OOC/signup)

[Ryan Naismith]

Your wrist-comn buzzes. A new message. You make the appropriate gesture with your am, and the message plays, the image beamed directly onto your eyes, and the sound beamed directly into your ears. The resulting effect makes it seem that you’re really there, with the german shepherd sitting right in front of you.
 
“Hello, friend.” He said, his flat, Terran English picked up by your translator and turned into a language understandable by you “Well, I’ve sent you a message, as you can tell. You used to work for me, and for whatever reason, you left my company.”
 
You did indeed work for this man, you can remember. His name was Glenn Tyson. Or something like that. He was cargo pilot, from earth. You were pretty sure that some of his dealings were illegal, too. not enough evidence to convict him, if you wanted to, though.
 
“Well, I want you to come to Halkoaho station, just off of Miami VI. I have another contract for you, friend.” He gives a seemingly genuine smile, clasping his hands as the message cuts out.
 
For whatever reason, you decide you might as well humor him.
 
so yes! scifi!
 
We're gonna start of at Halkoaho station, meeting Glenn at the station. Then, what happens from there will be in the RP!
 
 
 
But first, a few things about the tech.
 
They travel around using wormholes, and there is particle shielding, but it is extremely expensive, so it is rarely used, even by the richest of people, except aboard ships, where you can make the power packs much bigger, and more efficient.
 
The most common type of hand-weapon is a good old gun, chemically based, launching a typically lead projectile, causing massive trauma in its target. Though laser weapons have been invented, they are typically used as a less lethal weapon intended to stun their targets with as little damage as possible, though some deaths have been recorded. (All of the dead had heart problems, and their families were properly compensated.) Actual lethal lasers are bulky, cumbersome, and regularly burn through more than intended, so they are typically not used, except by spaceships.
Otherwise, you have free reign with tech, politics, etc.
 
Character sheets
Name: Glenn Tyson

Gender: male

Profession: works as a freighter pilot/captain under the employ of a major galactic trader, pseudo-freelance.

Appearance: Glenn wears a simple, Brown leather jacket and brown cargo pants, matching pretty well with his brown and black fur. He has the air of someone who knows more than you (or at least tries to do so) His pockets always seem to have just what is needed for the situation at hand (which is typically his charm and likability, and failing that, a swift kick in the nether regions and a smoke-bomb)

Weapons: He carries a stunner-laser, and black vibro-kife with both a curved and double-serrated edge. The thing had a black steel made up of carbon, chromium, manganese, molybdenum, silicon, tungsten, and vanadium. (AKA M390 steel)The edge of the blade is also coated in nanocrystaline diamond.  inside the grip, is a power pack and a vibrator designed to allow the knife to vibrate at immense speeds for two minutes of continuous operation. The steel handle is wrapped in a textured silicon-based rubber grip.
 

[Techii]

Alright then.

Name: Jaimie Jane (aka Jay-Jay)
Gender: female
Profession: ex military equipment export and importer, now smuggler for anyone who wants anything.
Appearance: Small coyote with gray and brown fur. Burn scar along cheek leading up to her ear which is missing. Always wears tight collar jacket and old beret, and a gold earing. Regular cargo pants with utility belt. Only scary to those who know ticked her off. Otherwise the friendliest person you may know. Kinda scattered she may drift off in thought, but always somehow paying attention. Never seeming to look tough enough, she always proves anyone who thinks that wrong.
Weapons: throwing knives, mostly for scare factor so she can get to her real weapon of choice, an old six shooter, one of the first laser pisols, specially made to be the most accurate, she can fire from the hip. Always carries EMP grenades, and her leg bands holding a stilleto knife with s pressurized handle, able to penetrate most things with s diamond tip.

Name: winter 'ghost' icewolf

Gender: male

Profession: bounty hunter for the highest bidder

Also has a tattoo of the Berlin capital building on his chest

Weapons: twin pistols, a single stun laser. Throwing knives, for chases. Emp grenades on his belt, at all times.

[Acvar]

Name: Garrett Gompers

Gender: Male

Profession:  Mechanic, works mostly with smaller class transport ships.

Appearance:  Tall, relatively skinny cat with silver fur, though his hands have been permanently stained black from his work as a mechanic.  While on the job he wears coveralls and heavy work boots but refuses to wear work gloves.  While of the job he usually wears blue jeans and a t-shirt, if its chilly he adds a black hoodie.  His right eye is red and his left is covered by an eye-patch with a ruby catseye.  Has a plain brown messenger bag with him at all times.

Weapons:  prefers to use his wrench in melee, but his pride and joy is a self made quick collapsing high powered rifle that he keeps in his messenger bag.  The rifle functions much the same as old earth bolt action models but with the added option of using special ammunition that when loaded, gathers range data from the range finder on the scope and after being fired, sets off a small explosive once it reaches 1m from the target, essentially functioning as a long range shotgun.  Due to the complexity and cost of making these rounds, he never carries more than 1 mag worth at a time (8 rounds).
