As you can tell from the title, I hope, this is a space smuggling RP, where our team is a bunch of smugglers. Basically, think Firefly. We'll get different jobs, and the chapters of the RP will be dealing with those jobs. Despite the obvious Firefly influences, however, this does not take place in the Firefly universe. Instead, it is a setting completely made up by me, though obviously taking place in an alternate universe.
Name: Obvious.
Gender: Look between your legs. Or at your chest, whichever.
Age: Please be reasonable. There will probably not be any 16 year old medics, or 60+ mercenaries.
Occupation: Be anything you think would be useful. However, keep in mind there will only be one captain, and one pilot. If more than one person wants each job, send me your sheets, and I will determine which sheet (and user) I think will work out the best.
Description: Clothes, physical appearance, that stuff.
Personality: Nice, mean, timid, outgoing, what?
Equipment: A pistol is pretty much mandatory. Other equipment should be based on your occupation. I don't want any mercenaries walking around with scalpels or other medical based equipment, for instance, or medics walking around with miniguns.
Background: Why are they here? What's their past like? Be creative, and try not to put in an unreasonable amount of angst, please.

Name: Birras J. D'balan (Birras)

Personality: Well-meaning, but sometimes goes into an adamantium rage. Occasionally reluctant to heal his comrades.
Equipment:Revolver pistol, scalpel, first aid kit
Background: I would like to say Birras was a criminal mastermind since he was five. I would like to say that Birras's idyllic life on the third moon of Rigel 7 was cut short due to the nefarious deeds of his evil twin, Sarrib. However, it is not that exciting. Birras was born to an average income family on Earth. He lived an average life in an average way, going on to earn an average graduation at his average med school. However, Birras did not want the life of a doctor. He wanted a life of adventure.
Name: Chris Kerr
Gender: Male
Age: 26
Occupation: Pilot
Description: 5'11', skinny, with thick untidy copper coloured hair, not particularly tough or strong, implants at the corner of each eye.
Personality: Fairly intelligent, Chris is easygoing for the most part, and will go along with what others are doing up to a point. If there is something that he totally disagrees with then he will let you know about it. In practice this means that he will readily follow most orders to the best of his ability provided his captain isn't what he would describe as a "moron". In times of pressure he may appear to crack under the strain, swearing and shouting profusely. In fact, this is just his way of venting, and as long as he's releasing his frustrations verbally his partners can be sure that they aren't being released through bad piloting.
Equipment: As a pilot there is little Chris needs by way of equipment other than a ship to fly. He carries a gauss pistol and a small concealed dagger for personal protection, as well as a set of customised control interfaces designed to work in conjunction with his implants.
Background: Chris studied spaceflight engineering at university on his homeworld, [insert whatever planet they're currently on] before trying to enlist as a fighter pilot for [whatever the major faction is], only to be turned down on account of his eyesight not being quite up to standard even after he had it augmented with implants. Instead Chris became a freighter pilot, but grew swiftly bored with the monotony of cargo transport and eventually went looking for more interesting employment. This search led him to seek work with pirates and smugglers, and eventually to the crew of The Harmony.
