It's anthro, I think I mentioned that in the OP. And yes we are omnivorous, don't worry about it And... we're all poor!

Alright guys, it's up! I linked all of you in it.

OOC @@Driz,@@Orange Sparks, @@Hazard Time, December 10, 2071 Near the planet of Jupiter... This part of the solar system was somewhat crowded with spacecraft. Some were trade ships who came from the different moons of Jupiter, rushing to the hyperspace gate in order to sell their wares to other planets. Some were travel ships, taking citizens from the ocean colonies of Ganymede to the dry, rocky desert towns of Io, or like the merchants, to other planets. And among these ships, one lies drifting slowly across the moon of Europa. A black, somewhat dangerous looking ship, about 286 meters in length; with the word "Vega" written on the left side of the hull. This was a bounty hunting ship, and its inhabitants were all experienced bounty hunters, capturing criminals from all over and turning them in to the International Solar System Police for a hefty sum. Yes, the life of a bounty hunter is thrilling, and the money can be great at times... But for bounty hunters, money can run out faster than you think. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MduJjbcLSqE Raze stared at the open fridge, a blank expression on his face. He had just woken up from an amazing four hour nap, and he wanted to grab a bite to eat from the living room fridge. And here he was, staring at it. In all its empty glory. He should have been shocked. Angry, even. And yet, he couldn't bring himself to do that. All he could do was stare, and wonder. Wonder where the hell all the food went. There were four people on this ship, and he bought enough food from Mars to last them at least a month. It had only been one week since then. He closed the fridge, and sighed. They didn't have any money either; they had spent all of it on said food and fuel for the ship. It wasn't much either, about 37,000 woolongs (($370)). There haven't been any bounties out either, at least big ones anyway. He had seen one worth 19,870 woolongs for the capture of an armed robber somewhere in Europa, but that was it. He walked over to the couch in the living room and plopped himself down on it. Ugh... when the hell are we gonna actually gonna make some real money...? he thought. If this keeps up... I don't know how much longer we'll last... Just as he thought that, his stomach began to growl. "Tch..." he rolled over. "I'm hungry... I could go really go for some bell peppers and beef right about now..."

@Driz @Orange Sparks @Hazard Time Alright everyone, while we are one person short, I do want to get this RP off the ground, so if you would like to start, I will make a thread for the RP.

I wouldn't say he's going to be like Jet, I don't want to copy the main cast, so no, I'll have Raze own the ship. Clockwork could pilot it though.

Yes please

CMON RP; LIVE, DAMMIT, LIVE!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry, but there are no cyborgs in Cowboy Bebop. Robots aren't actually a thing in that world, the closest thing to robots are AI piloted ships. So, I can't really accept that. I'd suggest looking up what Cowboy Bebop is; as I've stated before, I want to remain true to the aesthetic. Ah, this reminds me: @@Hazard Time,@@Orange Sparks, As with Trinket, I'd like you both to create a short biography for both your characters for this RP. I gave it some thought, and I think it would help with the RP a lot. Hazard, I know you don't know much about the Cowboy Bebop universe, but whatever you read online should suffice, as long as you have a general idea of the world it should be fine.

@@Driz, Hey so I finally got around to thoroughly read your small bio for Trinket for the RP, and it's fine, only one slight problem: The warp drive incident occurred fifty years ago from when the RP takes place. That would mean Trinket would be a lot older now than what she really is. Unless she was cryogenically frozen and thawed out fifty years later, you might want to change that part of her backstory Alright, I've officially updated the original post, it's now a full RP concept! With rules and everything!

It'll be pre movie. I haven't actually seen the movie yet tbh.

Well, in the show, the main characters didn't really have specific roles running the ship per se; for example if someone got injured or sick it was anyone's call as to who would help them. Also, it seemed that all maintenance of their main ship was handled by one person. Granted, the main cast was somewhat disorganized as a crew, and not all bounty hunters operate the same way, but I did see ourselves kinda being like the main cast, where crew roles were pretty much nonexistent and anyone could deal with problems faced on the ship, if any. TL;DR: yeah, we're straight up bounty hunters. @Driz Ah yeah, another thing I forgot to mention: You should know what exactly the warp gate accident was. It blew up and shattered a huge chunk of the moon, and the debris fell onto the earth at the same frequency as rain, destroying the surface and killing 4.7 billion people. Debris still orbits the planet, and while Earth is still habited by people, they have to be careful of continuing rock falls from said orbiting debris.

I like her personality and things like that, those can stay. But yes, I think it would be best to make a section for her based solely around this RP. Oh and if you watch the series, do the dubbed version. Seriously, it one-ups the sub by a crap ton.

@@Orange Sparks, i think anthro works better, but i'll leave the decision up to the participants.

Ah, I got it. I was gonna incorporate romance on here actually. Also, this might be a bit much to ask, but do you think you could also help find other people who might be interested in this? I'd like to get this moving as soon as possible.

@@Orange Sparks, Anyway, what was the Bebop RP on the other forum thread like? I could probably apply some of that stuff on here as well.

omg he's got the Jet Black thing going on. That's pretty good, I'll put him up on the sign up list.

@@Orange Sparks, Well it's still a bit of a work in progress, I was thinking the participants would all be one big bounty hunter crew (max participants would probably be around 5 or 6), as the DM I will provide different bounties for the crew to go after; you can either start on the ship already, or you can come aboard the crew at a later time (i.e. you were originally a bounty the crew was hunting, but we decide to let you join instead). That's what I have so far.

Alright then, I'll keep your character in mind. I think it'd be best if we all are on one ship, to be honest I could definitely do this like they do it in the show; start out with two people then have more people join along as time goes on. @@Driz, Actually, there is something i could use your help with: you think you could get more people to join this?

@@Driz, Not exactly, Cowboy Bebop may be sci-fi but there's not much sci-fi in it; if you know about faster than light travel and spaceships you're pretty much set in that regard. A couple things I should mention though: Guns are not really futuristic, the weapons you see in the show are pretty modern. The currency is called "Wulongs" You can only go from planet to planet using "Hyperspace Gates" Just to name a few things off the top of my head.

Bump

RP Link The year is 2071. Years of technological progress and innovation have led ponies to discover the secrets to achieving faster than light travel, leading to exploration beyond planet Equestria and the establishment of multiple warp drive gates across the galaxy. However, an accident fifty years ago involving a warp drive gate located near the moon caused the planet to become almost uninhabitable, and as such, ponykind was forced to relocate and colonize the many different planets and moons in the Solar System. Crime rate has risen greatly since then, and the International Solar System Police (ISSP) have looked to the option of hiring bounty hunters, also known as "Cowboys", to apprehend criminals they cannot catch, bringing them in alive in return for a reward. You are one of these Cowboys, teaming up with others to form a crew who hunt down criminals across the Solar System, hoping to score a big reward. As stated in the title, this is a roleplay inspired by the famous anime "Cowboy Bebop". Rules specific to the RP: - This RP mainly consists of the participants travelling the Solar System and hunting down criminals for a bounty reward, with a slice of life aspect as well. Not everyone needs to take part in the bounty hunting aspect; if you're not into that, and would rather just enjoy a relaxed RP with a sci-fi setting, you are more than welcome to do so. - While it may be sci-fi, there are many modern aspects to the world of Cowboy Bebop, such as weaponry, and the look of some towns and cities. So no laser/plasma rifles here, just metal guns and lead bullets. Sorry if that's not what you're looking for, but I want to remain true to the aesthetic of Cowboy Bebop. - You and the rest of the participants will be part of the same crew on the same ship. This is subject to change at my own discretion; I will only allow 5 participants max, however if more wish to join I will separate them into another crew of bounty hunters, which will also have 5 members. It is as this point I will allow 3 different crews, for a total of 15 people. I also might make separate threads for the other crews to post in and manage those as well, so as not to clog up one thread. If this is the case: 1. The first person who joins after the first crew has been formed will be the captain of the second crew. 2. The captain must come up with a name for their crew's ship, and provide an image of what their ship looks like. - Also in the case of multiple crews, you as an individual crew member don't have to be faithful to your own crew. Yes, backstabbing will be a thing in this RP, if there's someone on here that you want to be a member of your crew, you can convince them to betray their team and join your own. - I said before that this RP has bounty hunting in it. I will mostly provide the bounties and play out the scenarios, however I am giving everyone the power to come up with their own bounty that they themselves can play out. Yes, you can be the villain if you want to! General Rules: 1. No godmodding. 2. Action sequences must be PG-13 3. Make an effort to post here regularly 4. You can have romance, just keep like the action: PG-13 5. No gary-stu/mary-sue characters 6. Have fun! Sign-ups: Crew 1 | Ship Name: The Vega 1. Raze (Me) 2. Trinket (Driz) 3. Clockwork (Orange Sparks) 4. Bronze Bulwark (Hazard Time) 5. Skyhop (Commander Tangent)

Alright then, I can do that.

I actually just looked it up, apparently he's like an advisor to the captain, leads away parties and pilots the vessel if the captain's away, unconscious or dead (to name a few things that he does). Really, it's whatever role you want to assign him. I know first officer is supposed to be a real serious role; but the way I wrote his backstory like I did was mainly because I thought it'd be funny if the Luna had a laid back, somewhat lazy but overall very experienced first officer.
