Welcome to Spacepunk, a character sci-fi RP based in our own solar system as humanity recovers from an unspecified system-wide cataclysm. Whilst this the OOC thread, I'll be looking for semi-IC character apps, done in a resume/job application format, but feel free to ask OOC questions about the theme, which can be found on this page (partially a work in progress, apologies). Have a good read before applying. Whilst nominally associated with the Axiom region, and whose members will get first refusal, it's open to any competent and reliable RPers.
When dropping in a character app, in addition to the above information, include a brief character description, some back story about them (including why they want to join up) and any other pertinent information you think might bring them to life. Remember that different parts of the system confer certain physical traits.
Notes on the theme:
Spacepunk is set in a realistic world, where fuel and delta-V rules, and space travel is long and dangerous. Most civilisations have spacecraft, but aside from the more powerful nations' military, a lot of spaceships are privately owned (think the way shipping is done on Earth at the moment). The system is littered with the relics of a lost Golden Age and most people only remember it as legend; it's long enough ago that it's way beyond living memory, although the exact time is unspecified. The major powers rule their homelands, but out in space, beyond the reach of whatever authority they claim, everything is there for the taking.
Main NPCs
Name: Ember Kone
Position: Captain
World of origin: Unstated
Nationality:: Unstated
Previous experience:Unstated
Other info: Ember Kone is the current captain and apparent owner of the SS Saxifrage but aside from that, she is very reticent about disclosing anything about her background. Her height and build mark her down as either an Earther or Venusian, with her accent and mannerisms more of Earth. Her Asiatic ethnicity makes her nationality probably UTF or one of the American states, but the diaspora of Earth cultures prior to the cataclysm makes this difficult to determine. As well as speaking Standard English, the lingua fracas of the system, she also displays a good knowledge of Chinese, Hindi and Spanish. Her knowledge of the Saxifrage and its systems is quite comprehensive, and she evidently has a great deal of affection for the ship. Her current attitude to the crew is quite mercenary though; they do their job, they get paid.
Name: Wi Chen
Position: Fence/Handler/Black Marketeer
World of origin: Unknown
Nationality:: Unknown (currently claims to be Ceresian)
Previous experience: Unknown
Other info: Wi Chen is the Saxifrage's on-shore contact, who relays potential jobs to the ship from 'customers'. The exact nature of his relationship with Captain Kone is unknown; the two know each other well, but their conversation is often belligerent and Kone is often dismissive of Chen's opinions. He claims to be a 'Big Man' in the Ceres-based criminal gangs and also have contacts in the Ceres Corporation organisation, having lived there all his life, but his physiology is that of a planet-dweller, not a Belter, so no one takes this too seriously.
