Dis-Harmony

Who are you:

You are the crew of the Harmony, a demilitarized Series 3 Firefly class transport ship, formerly captained by Oscar "One Tooth" Salt.

Your Captain is dead, your ship is falling apart and your broke... pretty much situation normal, except for the dead Captain. In his will, the Captain left the Harmony and her cargo to his crew, in the hope they would keep the old girl flying and his reputation alive.

Story:

This is an open story, players will direct where the story goes (at times with the GM's meddling) as both a crew and individuals. It is advisable that the crew work together, but that does not stop you from doing some business on the side or under the table. The 'verse is a long wide place with plenty of chances to make your fortunes, legal, illegal or both.

Name: Samantha Mason
Gender: F
Appearance: (100% thanks to Vhexo who found this pic for me. My favorite now!!!!)

Role: Medic

Bio: Sammy was always the little healer child. She grew up in a household with four other brothers, so they often got into fights and injured themselves. Instead of joining them, she would patch them up with her cute little band-aids and send them on their way. Her parents of course enrolled her in a medical school as soon as she was old enough. First aid was always her forte, but she also excelled in surgery, because her photographic memory allowed her to remember the body scans so she could operate proficiently. She worked in a large medical station in Ariel until she was forced to move her work into the field, performing surgery and first-aid on crew members of an Alliance ship. She didn't mind it, no one told her how to do her job and she was left relatively alone. However the ship she was on was attacked my browncoats and destroyed. Before it blew Sam was able to get out via an escape pod, but she lost her arm in the process. Because she was a Surgeon for the Alliance she was able to get the best technology to replace it, and she was able to continue her work. However because she was injured in battle she was rejected from most hospitals, saying that she couldnt perform at 100% which was preposterous, but she couldn't get work at any hospital. So instead she found a job as a ship's medic on Harmony.
Stats –
Strength: (0)
Dexterity: (+1)
Toughness: (0)
Willpower: (+2)
Perception: (+3)
Charisma: (0)

Skills/Perks: Healers touch- When it comes to dealing with illness, treating wounds, or comforting those on death’s door, you have instincts that came before any sort of formal training. (+2 to healing-Basic Surgery)

Photographic Memory- You have the ability to recall information and material that you have studied for at least 30 seconds. (+1 to recalling something studied)

Ambidextrous- You possess a high degree of manual dexterity, and can write, type, or perform other fine actions with either hand at no loss of skill (no off-hand penalties)

Personality: Attempts to get along with everyone, and while may succeed more at scaring them away she wants to make friends. Speaking to people was never her forte, but that's what the nurses were for in the hospitals. She also hates it when people interrupt her, at least when she is trying to work. When it comes to work however, she doesn't mess around. If a difficult job presents itself she focuses on that more than anything else. Prefers to help people survive wounds, instead of causing them, but knows how to hold a gun and how to use it.

Also, just a suggestion, we might need a doctor?

MEDIIIIIC!

hmmm I might just have to change my character then... a medic sounds fun

I'll give you some time to think about changing roles, but I'd like to get this rolling before we loose too much momentum.

First IC post it up.

If you still want to change roles on the ship/traits I'll still allow it for a short time.

Can I still join this?

What exactly are the differences between the mechanic, engineer, and technician, if any?

The words sound different.

(Captain Salt wanted all of you to feel special in your own way (also you all had slightly different takes on the mechanic role with your character's so I thought I'd reward that.))

changing my role, if thats alright. Will work on it more after classes

Just realized there are two samantha characters hmmm ah well I'll just have my character be called by her last name.
