High profile huh? I don't quite think he's high profile. He's a scientist that wants to continue his work and avoid the federation who wants his weapons. He's no Jayne or River for that matter. He would simply like to accompany the crew on their travels to scout out scrap metal and other materials for parts to further his work.

I know how to keep him subdued and not to step on anyone's toes, I promise. I didn't feel the pilot position is a good fit for me because it requires extensive knowledge of the ship and exactly how it works, the same goes for the engineer. The first mate might be too post demanding for my availability. therefore I choose the position of the passenger. The idea is really cool i think and I feel he'd serve as a great ace card for the crew in various situations.

However if you feel he's too much, perhaps i'll have to opt out of the RP. I really don't want to do that. -_-"

I have...no real good ideas character wise yet lol I'm sure I'll come up with something by tomorrow though. Sorry for the delay. Maybe I'll make a drunk, or a brute, or a drunk brute. I know I don't wanna make a particularly large, dimwitted strong man though since that kind of character seems vaguely familiar aha
I should go.

I just don't feel like it fits with what I'm going for. I'd really rather you didn't go, are you sure you can't come up with another idea?

Hey... Jayne ain't a girl. I'll show you full well I got man parts.

lol actually I'm thinking of opting out of the ex-military, ex-merc, ex-bounty hunter, ex-assassin route most people go and go with ex-con. That can account for his badassery so instead of super military trained disillusioned soldier we can just make him out to be a badass cause he's spent most of his life in and out of some prison on some penal colony moon somewhere or another. The temptation to make Riddick will be a pain in the ass though lmao

I was actually thinking about Dahl from the latest Riddick, when toying with what a female Muscle would be like... And then I started thinking about Borderlands 2, and it's all downhill from there.

Sounds good to me.

i really felt inspired by my character idea. However if you can help me better envision what it is you're going for perhaps I can better come up with something different.

It's pretty damn awesome. Plotwise, it's basically a remake of the first movie, but set after the events of the second. Bunch of people try to kill Riddick, then end up needing his help when the critters attack, almost all of them die horribly. So yeah, it's the first one all over again. But the first one was fucking awesome, so who's complaining? Oh, and he has a dog. Everything's better with dogs!

What's your "Vera" gunna be?

Ok so that sounds epic, guess I know what I'm doing after work now lol I loved the first one the most out of both live action films and the anime. Never got a chance to play the game, I heard escape from butcher bay was actually pretty good. But if I get shiv happy Riddick, alien monsters, murder parties, Katee Sackhoff, night vision, alien dogs and space ships I'll be happy ahahaha

And I dunno yet, I wanna keep it from being a high powered rifle like Jayne's Vera though so I may go with a shotgun or maybe a kick ass pistol... or a knife... you know, for the sweet spot between the fourth and fifth rib.

Nevermind, I think I'll opt out. I stand strongly by my character idea and don't wish to change it. Good Luck on your RP I hope everything goes well.

Vera's actually a shotgun. SAIGA-12 with Sci-Fi greebles glued on.

What about a Kel-Tec KSG? When it comes to badass shotguns, it doesn't get much more badass. Call it a "Blue Sun Arsenal Supplies Duel-Feed Scattergun Model 14" or something.

I mean, look at this sumbitch;

Load one tube with buckshot, and the other with slugs. Or, one with FRAG-12 and the other with flechettes... the possibilities are endless. I love shotguns...

Yep... I just fell in love a little bit. I think I've found my Vera, thanks Romeo! And I'm working on an idea for the muscle now. Do you have a preference on a real life image for the characters or is a picture suitable. It wouldn't be an anime picture however. Just might be a character from a game or something.

As far as pictures, pretty much anything goes. I'd prefer no anime, but it's not strictly necessary.

I might end up doing something like Inara, but I can change if that's unpreferable. I dunno. ;w;
