Howdy! My name's John Sexton. I own and captain a tramp freighter, a
Firefly (the model five, with the stretched frame). Some of what I do
is running small shipments from place to place, usually places that
don't get a lot of traffic from big ships. Small settlements or
habitats. I'll also take on the occasional passenger. From time to
time, I'll do charity work; having a Shepherd be your adoptive dad
will cause that, I guess. Truth, though, is most of my work is criminal
in nature. I was trained by both the Alliance and Browncoats (long
story) to be a sniper and scout, knowledge that translates into being a
good thief. And I am a really good thief, all modesty aside. Charity
work helps keep me under the radar and helps make me useful contacts. I
also smuggle a lot, pretty much all the time, and people love to get
stuff they need and screw the taxman over at the same time. So people
tend to like me, even those that I take from, because they often hire
me to steal their stuff back. In fact, sometimes I steal their stuff
just so they can hire me to get it back for them; it's a lot easier
on me and I give them a good deal.

So my ship, the 'Satori', is a welcome sight most everywhere we go,
though we like a low profile. One coin out of three from my profits
goes to some charity, whether bona-fide Shepherd orders or civic groups
run by people that I steal from/for. I don't drink (long story),
don't gamble and try not to swear. Much. Sure, there's all that
thieving and shooting and hiring killers to kill for me, but that's
business. Gotta do what you gotta do. Am I right?

This is a new game based on the 'Firefly' TV show and the 'Serenity'
movie (takes place between them, actually) and I'm looking for anything
from the usual character types (gunslinger/pilot/mechanic) to anything
that would make sense in the game universe and would be interesting to
play. Gamblers, con men, actors, tinkerers, snake-oil salesmen,
what-have-you. I've been running games online for about seven years and
been role-playing since there was an 'A' in 'AD&D', so I know what I'm
doing most of the time. The goal is a game where everyone has fun and
posts at least twice a week. Check the site out.
