Let's see... obviously the ship needs bounty hungers and treasure hunters. But it also needs, as B0 stated, a Navigator and a Gunner, as well as...hmm... a pilot... a comms officer... at least one more engineer to help the buggos... a science officer of someone wants to turn one of the spare rooms in a lab. And there are probably a dozen other positions I've forgotten.

Note that I use officer for lack of a better term, but unlike before, this isn't a military organization, nor is it a big business like Havenbrook with contracts and paychecks and the like.

The only thing making it a business is JJ's bounty hunters license (and who knows if that is real or forged). So while she'll be in charge and you'll usually follow her orders, she isn't a military commander. Please feel free to speak up if she does something wrong or you have a better idea. It isn't like thw ship has a brig or something.

Heheh. A cook, yes. We do have basic food replicators, but they can't make everything, so unless you want most of your more complicated meals prepared by a hologram with no sense of taste, a cook would be nice.

Welp... I'll leave navigation to somebody else if they want it. I claim gunner and... Hmm... Can a typically replaceable crew member (I.e. a gunner, sci-officer, etc.) Moonlight as a bounty hunter or is it restricted to one role?

(I still claim gunner, though.)

Anyone can act as a bounty hunter regardless of their role on the ship. Expect JJ and Aya to get in on the action too. Báichī and Ash would too, but you know... timid bug and a Hologram tied to the ship.

The Galactic Federation of Planets
The United Gamma Federation
The United Planetary System
The Pickio Alliance
The Quin Federation
The Shinso Federation
The United Pirate Alliance
The Fee Federation
The Norscan Galactic Government
The Demigor Government (disbanded)

Oh, and the ship from F-Zero I meant to compare the Golden Wind to was the Falcon Flyer.

Posted my first two characters bios! Tell me what you all think! :3

I see a weapons expert named Lady, and first thing I gotta ask is does she have a rocket launcher with a built in grappling hook?

Second thing, interesting to see we've got some with a Yeer- I mean, brain parasit- I mean, head NEE-, excuse me, Yorin companion. Must be something in the air, causing me to misspeak like that. I might have skimmed over it, but how would we know which one is talking when?

Basically when Yixx takes over Lady's eyes kinda glaze over a bit, but they do have pretty distinct personalities that are easy to tell apart just by dialogue. Basically if she approaches you, that's Lady, if she's skittish and nervous that's Yixx, etc.

Also. I get that reference. :p

Things are going well so far. TD is coming to a complete close soon. We have two new aliens up with two, possibly three, more coming. Two new characters with another coming soon. After the next bio goes up, I'll post something about the different Galactic factions and then a general description of the ship.

It makes me feel happy, which... is something I've needed lately.

Excellent. First we have Frost's creative cybernetic faeries, now a good, gigantic, pleasant version of the Mimicry Marcus. You guys are doing a great job, and I believe we have two more aliens coming.

Incidentally, after reading Piky's bios, check out my brief look at the nine largest factions amd governments in the known galaxy.

Now I've made Strange and interesting characters before including a shape shifting goo robot, a ball of energy with four basic emotions, and now a slug living in a girl's brain, but that's... A pretty interesting character...

XCOM RP. More specifically XSDF RP. Why mess with perfection?
I've iterated on it myself since then, so I might have tweak suggestions. I'll compare the then and now when I have a chance.
Human who's name is Tony. More metal than man.
Funny, I was considering naming a character Anthony. Are you my alter ago or something? Is that why I'm always tired?
Heh... We think too similarly. I have plans for a cyborg as well. Want to establish something between two cybernetically enhanced people in a convo?
Also I might, I'll give you the ideas I had for my character - again when I have a chance.

My character has engineering know-how, although it's specialized towards her augments so that may or may not fit that role. More of an assistant in such matters probably .
