Firefly (OOC)

So I'm thinking of starting a RP for the series of Firefly. The basis of the story is of Malcom Reynolds and his crew journey through space taking 'jobs' for clients, fleeing/fighting the Alliance and escaping from the nightmare of space, the Reavers. I'll be Malcolm Reynolds (Mal) and you can be any of the characters below or create a character that is either looking for the crew of Serenity either to get help from them or destroy them. It'll take part after the movie but a small change is that The Sheperd survives the previous Alliance assault and Wash doesn't die either. So sign up today:

Each of the crew members has a special role:

Malcolm Reynolds holds the duty of Captain - he is a defeated soldier who opposed the unification of the planets by the Alliance to no avail. He strives to keep all his crew members on task and Serenity flying safely, while trying to make a living and do the right thing...in his rather flexible moral framework.

Zoe (aka The Soldier) is extremely loyal to Reynolds as she served with him during the war and owes her life to him. Zoe has the strength and experience to take command of the ship, if necessary.

Wash is Serenity's pilot (and Zoe's husband) - unassuming, self-deprecating, and calm with a sense of humor.

Kaylee is the ship's mechanic - an experienced engineer who keeps Serenity flying.

Inara is a 'Registered Companion,' most easily described as a high-priced courtesan or geisha. She is also the person with the highest social standing on the ship and acts as the crew's Ambassador.

Jayne is the muscle of the crew. A tough, uncultured Mercenary, unpleasant and offensively direct, but loyal to those on his crew...usually.

Simon Tam is the Doctor on Serenity and comes from a wealthy family and has a privileged upbringing. He has spent his life savings and future to save his sister, River.

River (aka The Fugitive) was experimented on by the government. Her psychic visions (a result of the experiments) are taken at first as babble by the crew but they slowly come to realize that there's more going on than what shows on the surface.

Book or "The Shepherd," is a wise minister who knows far more about military matters and battle tactics than a man of the cloth should, and his past is shrouded in mystery.

I love this show! I do have concerns about being able to uphold the integrity of the original characters, but I think I could handle Jayne pretty well. Might be a pretty good typecast for me, actually. :p

This sounds awesome, but I don't know how we could do book. His backround was never revealed in either the movie or teh tv series.

Well that allows for more freedom for his part. From his current character we can together work out a background that would suit him. Gaeltach I think you'll do for Jayne

Well if Heculisis is still in, I can bring in a puppet for another character. I hate to see an undertaking like this fade into obscurity.

Well if you really want too sure. Just tell me what other character you would like to be.

I would be in on this. Unsure on a character, maybe somebody looking to hire the group.

Sure you can be a person who would hire the group. Could give he actually RP a running start.
