The year was 2021. Life on Earth hadn’t changed much, some upgrades to security and medicine here and there, but beyond that, it wasn’t much different than today. Unfortunately, that’s the bad news of this story.

For one uncharacteristically hot day in October, we were invaded. We were invaded by a horribly barbaric race of Aliens who called themselves the K’theran. Horrible giant lizard like men who seemed to be most comfortable in intense heat and in the water. Their ships far outgunned our jets and missiles, and one of their ground troops could rip open a tank. Even in our desperation where we tried to nuke them, the K’theran’s simply bathed in the radiation as if it was a gift. All seemed hopeless.

That is, until another alien race came. These much different from the hulking and brutish K’theran, these were the Psy’tan. They came in their ships and told us that they were once victims of the K’theran’s invasion and had lost their home world to them. They now sought to help those plagued by them. With our forces united, we drove the K’therans back and blasted most of their ships into oblivion. The world cheered and invited the Psy’tan to join us in the celebration. Seeing as without them we would be lost, and they had no home to go too, we invited the Psy’tan to make Earth their new home. They accepted gladly.
For years we learned about one another. As our culture seemed to put most of our efforts into medicine and entertainment, they apparently put most of their efforts into space travel and exploration. So, we offered them severe advances to their medicine and they offered us advancement in space travel. The partnership was grand. The Psy’tan found our race incredibly attractive, and they weren't bad themselves, so we began breeding together. Though, oddly enough, the children of a Human and Psy’tan were always female. There has never once been an incident with a male offspring. The children looked mostly human, except their rather pale complexion that looks almost blueish in certain lights and their piercing orange eyes. Psy’tan’s cultures and ours became so closely bound, that we even took up their language as a secondary one.
Though, adding 3 billion more life forms to our planet caused us to use up Earth a lot faster than we anticipated. So, together, we set out for the stars. We terraformed almost an entire galaxy of new earths from the dead rocks floating around the Milkyway. Beyond the K’theran and the Psy’tan, we never once met up with another species.



The central planets of our new galaxy, the ones that the richest and most influential of our lot migrated to, decided that the entire galaxy should have to do what they say, after all, they had the most advanced technology. See, when the planets and moons were terraformed, some people got the more advanced and the luxurious technologies. Most were dropped off with nothing more than some blankets, some hatchets and a herd of cows if they were lucky enough.



The Central planets got to calling themselves The United Coalition of Planets. Most people just call them the Coalition or Coalers. They are a parliamentary backed by an aristocracy. The rich just couldn’t wait to get a government that openly supports the rich over everyone else. They fought the whole galaxy so they could be in charge, and then ignore everybody’s problems equally. Some people tried to fight’em, not too much luck though. The Independents just wanted to be in charge of the life they made for themselves, mostly farm boys and miners. They gave the Coalition one hell of a fight though. 7 years of fighting, then Unification.


The year is 2528. It’s been just 6 years since Unification day and the Galaxy isn’t any better than it was. If anything, it’s worse. About 20% of the galaxy’s population lives on the core worlds, everybody else is out on the rim, in the boonies of space. Since the Coalition came and went from the outer worlds, a number of crime syndicates have risen and whole heap of more dangers that most of the core worlds don’t have to deal with.
The best way to make a living out here in the black is to get yourself a ship, a crew and keep flying. A ship will get you work, a gun will help you keep it. Because out here in space, it’s not that people can’t hear you scream….they just don’t care.


Basically this is an rp based off of Firefly, with my own twists and backstory put into it. So yes, there are things like Companions and mudders and the like. The basic story is similar to that of the crew of Serenity. You are either a part of the crew of a space ship, whose only source of income is doing motley and usually illegal jobs such as robbery or smuggling. Or you are passenger who is paying the crew to transport you somewhere, no questions asked. Maybe you’re on the run from the Coalition, maybe you’ve always wanted to get off your boring rock and see the galaxy or maybe you’re just looking for some work, it’s a tough galaxy out there. Basically, even if you don’t start out a member of the crew, you can become a member once the rp starts going, so don’t worry your pretty head none.


(Playable)Human:………..Yeah, I’m not going to explain this. If you’re not sure what a Human is…….Google it.

(Playable)Psy’tan: The Psy’tan are a short and rather lithe people. Due to their species deficiency at storing fat, you will never see a Psy’tan of substantial girth. Akin to this, the Psy’tan cannot go long without eating food. Where a Human can survive several weeks without food, a Psy’tan might only survive maybe 3 to 4 days. The Psy’tan have varying blue pigments to their skin with expanded pupils and orange sclera. They have no irises. The Psy’tan are a Amphimammalian species. Meaning they are mammals that can also live for prolonged periods under water. Their ancestors were predominately Amphibian, so they grew their culture underwater. Due to this, the Psy’tan developed a form of Telepathy in order to communicate with one another in the water. Now, they cannot read minds, but they can open a link between minds and communicate through thought, like a walkie-talkie. They also have incredible vision in any light, or no light. When we first met the Psy’tan, their average life span was around 50 years. Now, with their improvements to medicine, they now can live up to 100 or so. Psy’tan are rather rare outside of the Core Worlds of the Coalition for one reason or another. It’s not inconceivable that one could be found on the rim, but it’s not an everyday occurrence. Seeing as the Psy’tan don’t do that great with the cold, they don’t often elect to be on a space ship. There aren’t many full-blooded Psy’tan left as most of them paired off with human to create Psys.

(Playable:ONLY 1)Psy: A Psy is the off-spring of a Human and Psy’tan. Instead of creating a being that just has half traits for one and half traits from another, the merging of the two species creates an entirely different one. For one thing, they are all female. It is impossible for a male Psy to be born. Physically they look mostly human save for having very pale complexions, no matter how much time they spend in the sun. Their irises are also three times larger than a humans, meaning most of what you see from their eyes just looks pure orange save a pupil. That’s another thing, all Psy’s have orange eyes and their hair colors usually go to extreme colors that are not usually found in natural human hair colors. The thing that makes Psy’s so exceptionally amazing is their psychic abilities. Unlike their Psy’tan parents, they don’t have telepathy, but what they can do is extraordinary. They can read the minds and emotions of the people around them. Almost as if the people were telling them the information themselves. Some have even boasted the ability to control objects with their mind and even take over a man’s mind and control them like a puppet. Though that might be all here say. A trait all of them share though, is the ability to learn things incredibly quickly. One would simply have to stare at an intricate dance for maybe a minute and they would be able to perform as if they had been studying for years.

They sound super powerful right? Well, it seems there are several prices to pay for it. One, constantly hearing thoughts and analyzing everything, Psys aren’t exactly all there. They often have incredibly poor social skills and can go from sounding like a super genius to sounding like a 5 year old very quickly. They are also very impulsive and usually do not think before they act. Not to mention their restricted rights. That’s right. When a Psy becomes 14 years of age, they must be admitted into Shoran’s Academy for the Gifted. Parents who send their children to this facility often never hear from them again. And if they do, they are……different. The Coalition uses Psys as super weapons. In order to mold them to be super soldiers, they have to do horrible….horrible things to them. Inhuman things. Escape from the facility is almost impossible without outside help, and even then, it would just be improbable. For this reason, no one outside of the Core has ever seen a Psy. The Coalition will actually fly out to the rim to hunt Psy’s down and bring them in. Most people in the galaxy just think these colorful women are just that, girls with weird hair style and pretty eyes. In fact, the Rim would be a perfect place to hide from the Coalers…..if she could keep on the move.

(Unplayable)Blighter: So we've heard about what happens to the offspring between a Human and a Psy’tan. But, what about the offspring of a Human and a K'theran? Believe it or not, when the K'theran invasion began, they were groups of humans who supported them. When they were defeated, we kicked those humans off planet along with the K'therans. So in the blackness of space, the K'therans soon learned that there was an adverse affect from bathing in our radiation. The entire race had become sterile, or so they thought. They found that they could not breed with one a nother, but they could breed with the Humans. So soon, their human allies became their sex slaves and started to create an entirely new race out in the farthest corners of the Galaxy. Unlike Psy's, Blighters are all male......and monstrous. They appear to have no skin, only musculature. They are large and have sharp fangs and claws. Unlike their parent species, they seem to be sub-sentient. They may have enough intelligence to fly a ship or make weapons and clothing, but not enough to treat life with it's proper respect. They are all monsters. They rape their victims to death, eat their flesh and sow their skin for clothing. Their bodies give off a distinct radiation that seems to Blight any land they set foot on, rendering it dead. "Nothing ever grows where a Blighter has roamed." They use savage swords and axes. They are inhumanly strong and durable and some say that their bodies can heal themselves. Then again, no one has ever survived a Blighter attack, in the strictest sense of the word. Those who do were allowed to and have been mutated by them. Within a few days, he'll begin to look like one, then....he'll begin to think and act like one. Within two weeks, the man is gone and only a Blight remains. Blighters fly around in derelict ships with no core control and little life support systems. They pillage and slaughter with no goal insight. They are evil in the purest sense of the word. They can't be bargained, they can't be reasoned with, they only consume. Most people in he Coalition believe they are just flights of fancy and camp fire tales. That they are simply men who went mad in outer space. But....everyone on the Rim knows all too well that they are real and they are not men. They are Death. You don't fight Blighters....you just run.


The Psy’tan are so integrated into the human culture that we have adopted their language as a second one. We predominately use their language(Called Ryniiz) for casual slang and cussing. No one knows why, we’ve just been doing it for years. Here is a little cheat sheet for basic slang terms.

Kahi=Awesome, sweet, great

Dahl ma?=Understand?

Ayo=Surprise and alarm(Ayo!)

Shemram=Goddamn

Tenshi’du=Idiotic, stupid, suicidal (Refers to an act or decision)

Hatei=Sexy

Lei-lei=Baby, sweetie, sugar

Bogo=Moron, idiot (Refers to a person)

Swi’swa=Homosexual (Not negative, just refers to one….though it is often used negatively by some of the more ignorant people on the Rim)

Sa’k=Fuck (Used for all of the same things fuck would be used for. i.e. Sa’king, Sa’ked, Sa’k’in)

Grop=A disgusting pig like creature from Nauril, the Psy’tan’s home planet.(You son of a grop! You are such a grop.)

Cunt=……..cunt. It’s a very popular word on the Border Planets, though impossibly frowned upon on the Central planets.

Ain’t=An incorrect contraction for both are not and is not. If you are from or spend most of your time on the border planets, this is probably the word you say the most. Only people raised in the high life of the Coalition use proper contractions, if any.

(You can make up your own Ryniiz word or saying as the roleplay goes on. If you do, I will put it on this list. Get creative!(Huh, it’s like asking carpenters to cut wood)







Captain Naliff Murdock:(Taken by Sneakyrio)The Captain of Cora Belle is not a man of many words. He often says what needs to be said and is done. His past remains mostly a mystery. the only thing that hints at it is a large tattoo on his left pectoral of an eclipsed sun. Anyone on the wrong side of the law knows that that means he has spent sometime in a max lock-down prison. Beyond that, no one could really say. He is a man of easy temper and surprisingly strong morals, even if their not everyone's morals. He may shoot you for saying the wrong thing, but if your on his crew, he will look out for you. Even if he hates your guts, if someone attacks you, he treats it as an attack on his person. Whether you love him or hate him, you can't help but have a modicum of respect for him.

First Mate Kora Neverwinter:(Taken by VitaminHeart) The First Mate has been with Captain Naliff the longest out of anybody. They have been with him ever since he bought Cora Belle and has shared in all of his adventures together with him. The Captain and the First Mate respect each other and would trust each other with their very lives. They might not always agree, but they are there for one another. On any field Mission, the First Mate is almost always in the heat of battle right alongside the Captain and Mercenary.Though they have spent several years together, even the First Mate is foggy on Naliff's exact history.

Pilot:(Open)The Pilot has been with the Captain the Second longest. No matter species or gender, the Pilot has incredible skills. They are one of the best at what they do and they know it. The Captain hired them for the purpose of piloting Cora Belle and they haven't let him down yet. Though, besides Piloting, the Pilot isn't good for much else. They are not a particularly good fighter and never go into the field. Mainly because the Pilot needs to stay with the ship, and also because they would probably just get in the way. Not saying now that the Pilot is helpless, but they wouldn't really stand a chance in a fight with the Captain, First Mate or Mercenary. The Pilot has the best relationship with the Engineer. For if the Pilot wants to try something crazy, they would have to work in tandem with he Engineer to make sure the ship is ready for whatever crazy maneuver the Pilot wants to try. Even though their stations are on the opposite sides of the ship, they work closely together.

Mercenary:(Open)When the Mercenary and the Captain first met, they were most likely on opposite sides of a laded barrel, but through coercing and the promise of a lucrative deal, the Captain won the Mercenary over. The Mercenary is one of if not the best fighter on the ship. Having extensive knowledge of any weaponry worth knowing(Namely anything that isn't used by the Coalition), they are deadly in a firefight. A crack shot with almost any kind of fire arm, they most likely know how to scrap. The Mercenary is the Muscle of the ship and is mainly present to make sure clandestine dealings go smoothly. Perhaps not the most trusted or brightest member of the crew, but an essential one. Any fight the crew has seen, you can bet the Mercenary has been though all of them. They have been with the crew most likely a little over a year.

Engineer S'ney C'lim:(Taken by Mashotu)The youngest member of the crew hands down. They are also most likely the most naive. The Engineer may not mind and even enjoy the fact that they serve on a rogue vessel, but they rarely if ever help in any way with the crime. The Engineer would spend most of their time in the engine room. The only person who is closer to the ship as the Captain is the Engineer. The Engineer is a most likely a prodigy from humble beginnings. The crew is indebted to the Engineer for continuously keeping their home and employment flying through the black. One of the most important members of the ship hands down. The work in tandem with the Pilot to pull of crazy maneuvers or just landing and taking off.


Passengers:Passengers can really be anyone. People trying to lay low from the law or a Crime syndicate. People looking for adventure out in the stars. Or maybe you just really nee work bad. You might even be a Companion searching for a ship to help expand your client base.(The Companion may also be an already established crew member if the owner wishes it.) If you want to be a Psy, you must be a passenger. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!....Psy, not Highlander.
