Welcome to Out In The Black, an RPG set in the Firefly verse. This is a totally original RPG, thus no canon characters or canon ships.
It's not mandatory to have seen the show or the movie, as everything you need to know is located on board! If you have any questions feel free to leave a message in the cbox or pm a staff member!
Yep shiny folk, you hear it right, all the 'verse information, rules and regulations can be found right in this shiny forum. So stop by here if you want to know a bit more about 'Out In The Black', before you'll get lost!
Done with reading the info? Well come in here to find the character sheet, and once you're done, you can post it in a new thread in this forum. A staff member will look over your application asap!
These are the core planets, Alliance controlled worlds that are pretty much made up of American and European influences and the such. Located in the most inner part of the 'Verse, these planets are under the constant eye of the Alliance. You best be careful on these planets if you're planning on doin' crime. Yah gotta also make sure you watch who y'er callin' a purple belly, the feds are thick on ground as well as in the Black. Ever come across an Alliance Cruiser? Well, y'er guaranteed to do so here.
The Border Worlds are mainly self governed. For the most part the Alliance leases officers and peace keepers to these planets to oversee the everyday crime dealings. The Border planets, for the most part, are mainly self contained with a moderate presence of Alliance control. The planets are far less 'poor' than those of the Outer Rim. Smuggling and illegal activities are as rampant as are in the frontier worlds.
The planets located on the Rim, worlds which have been terra-formed recently, life is hard, surviving is a day to day business. Allience is only spread thinly here and most planets need to govern themselves, if done at all. The threat of Reavers is the greatest here too. Not a pleasant life, but it is a free life.
Once accepted, profiles will be moved and stored here. So, interested in another character? Just have a read over their profiles here. You can also always make edits to your profile after being approved!

What's a board without a place for introductions? Exactly. Thus a place for new members to show their face and tell them a bit about themselves. Don't be shy! We love new members and we'd love to get to know you!
