Its been a while since I've tried starting an RP here. And since I'd like to become more active I figured why not? I decided to make it a sort of reboot of my old Bounty Hunters RP that I started four years ago. We can also discuss ideas and plot points in RP discussion ^..^
The year is 2350… After 400 years of space travel and nearly 150 years after the invention of the first warp drive, mankind has achieved his greatest dream, to explore and become integrated with the diverse community of the Milky Way. As these pods of human influences grew, so did their wealth as they sought to mine for precious metals.
However, as the wealth increased throughout the galaxy, those who would plunder and steal for themselves appeared. The art of piracy was reborn in space due to the limited ability to establish universal law throughout the widely spread-out planets and colonies. Soon, over the course of several years, a major feud formed between the space forces, human and alien alike, and the space pirate guilds.
On the brink of interstellar war, a new power started to appear. Lone travelers, who sided with neither space pirates nor space federations. They are called Hunters, due to a majority of them being bounty hunters that bring justice to criminals. They single-handedly brought the beginning of an interstellar war to a stand-still as they interfered and sabotaged the plans for the space pirates to overthrow peace in the galaxy. Unlike the law-abiding space forces or the code-obeying space pirates. The Hunters rely on their freedom as their guide, with personalities and intentions varying from ship to ship. The threat of interstellar war still lingers, though it is suppressed by the heroic acts of the interfering travelers wandering the frontier.
RPers can choose to either be space forces, space pirates, or a hunter. All can be either human or any alien race he or she can think of.

Crew profile limit is high-ranking members for pirates or space forces. Hunter crews are relatively small, ranging from 1 to 6. Crew members can be any species, human, alien, or even hybrids as well as pets(alien or earth). A brief history of the crew's past is also acceptable.

Visual representation of the crew:
http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/028..._by_Raptoid.jpgTanner
Side: Hunter
Age: 18
Sex: Male
Height: 6'0
Position: Pilot/Cook
Weapons of Choice: (left-handed) Tetsubo, Katana, and sonic shotgun(delivers a concentrated sonic wave capable of shotgun-level trauma), and light shield for defense.
Appearance: Lizard hybrid. Shaggy ginger-red hair that is often parted down the middle, with green eyes, green scaly skin and a golden yellow underbelly. Often he only wears a pair of faded blue jeans, but he does wear other clothes when conditions require it.
Personality: The head bounty hunter of the Yukitokage. Tanner's personality ranges from focused and serious, to just downright goofy. But when he's after a bounty, he takes no time in bringing it down. Often criminals are taken in alive. Pirates on the other hand... Aren't so lucky. He also finds himself cooking most of the meals for the crew if they don't stop at a place to eat.
Stella
Side: Hunter
Age: 16
Sex: Female
Height: 5'1
Position: Co-pilot/Weapons Specialist
Weapons of Choice: Plasma rifle, 50.cal railpistol.
Appearance: Shoulder-length blonde hair with jade highlights with her eyes of the same color and fair-colored skin. She wears a white tank top, and khaki-colored pants along with brown leather boots.
Personality: Stella has a very tomboy-ish nature, not being the damsel in distress type. She loves guns, and everything about guns. When it comes to bounty-hunting, she is quick to get the job done and over with. She is also Tanner's co-pilot on the Yukitokage and normally is in charge while Tanner is away.
Akira
Side: Hunter
Age: 15
Sex: Male
Height: 5'5
Position: Tech specialist
Weapons of Choice: Pocket knife, monkey wrench, jumper cables
Appearance: Long dark brown hair tied back in a pony tail, brown eyes, and tannish skin. He wears a light green T-shirt, brown jeans, and leather work boots.
Personality: Akira is often very akward in nature due to his frequent multitasking. He is, without a doubt, a geek, in his knowledge of computer engineering and technobabble. But, that doesn't stop him from pitching in when things get dirty. He is perfectly capable of manning the ship's weapons, as well as defending himself if any hostiles board.
Kichiro
Side: Hunter
Age: 6
Sex: Male
Length: 5'0
Position: Pet
Weapons of choice: ???
Appearance: Monitor Lizard. Slitted-pupil yellow eyes, green scales with a yellow underbelly.
Personality: "Kichi" as Stella likes to call him, is very naive. Often getting into places where he doesn't belong. Oddly enough, he is treated as if he were an actual member of the crew, even getting his own bed with a little heat lamp inside it.
As for a history: The crew of the Yukitokage often have major disrespect towards pirates due to spending their preteen years as slaves to them. Taking on all of their sadistic and abusive behavior. Tanner's lizard-like features come from an accident during the escape at age 13, when a drum of stolen prototype biotech fluid spilled on him.
After two years of working all kinds of jobs, they saved enough money to buy a CometS777 second hand, and another year spent customizing it with fitted Hikari engines, Mullan cannons, and a trauma gun, as well as a defense system custom-designed by Akira. They eventually started earning cash by hunting bounties and have been making a living off it ever since. Kichiro came along for the ride after he stowed away on the ship during a hunt on Earth in Australia. After two years they have become fairly well-known among several of the hunters in the galaxy, and notorious among the pirate clan they escaped from five years prior.
