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!
You may be wondering now; "I have an idea for a character, but what do I do now?" Well, I am here to tell you there are several options available for you to fit smugly into the Role Play. Below are a list of occupations, jobs and fillers that will allow you to interact with other members effectively and insure an active and enjoyable time here at Out In The Black.
Ship Crew
Captain
Crew
Mechanic
Hired Mercenary
Medic
The ship crew is not simply limited to Captain, Crew, Mechanic and Medic. The make-up of a ships crew can be diverse. Anywhere from extra mechanics to medical staff. The open positions for a certain ship should be determined by the Captain. If you wish to join a ship please contact the member that controls the ship, IE: The Captain, if the position is not listed in the positions thread.
Outer Planetary Town Citizen
Outlaw
Citizen
Constable/Peace Keeper
Banker
Bar Owner/Tender
Entertainer
Farmer
Various Other Occupations
Though relatively un-specified, use your imagination. It can range from outlaw to peace keeper. The towns are small and relatively isolated. The towns resemble old western civilization, gun battles, outlaws and the whole of it. Just keep it reasonable.
Obtaining These Positions
To obtain any of the above positions simply put the occupation in your profile. Also, please check in the 'Positions Thread' to see if the desired position is open. If it is not the occupation will be marked out. There are many positions that are unspecified but are available that we cannot simply put because we would never get finished with the list.
In other words, be creative, if you have an idea, and are just not sure, just pm a staff member, or even the ship's captain! For now we won't allow new captains (thus new ships) as otherwise characters get spread too thinly, there are 2 ships and a town, so possibilities enough! As we grow, new options will be added, exploring the endless possiblities of the Firefly Verse.
