Hi boys! and girl :)
I'd like to apply for the RP. I'll get my CS together and come back with it in a bit.
But first, just so you know a little about me, I run a couple of sci-fi themed message boards that I created and have played in 4 or 5 forum RPGs. I'm a medical transcriptionist by trade and a writer in my dreams.
And... don't faint... I am a person of the female persuasion. *hears the RPers gasp and someone slowly clapping*
So here's hoping you like my CS, and here's me hoping you'll let my character on board the Defiant at the next port.

“Bottom line is, even if you see them coming, you're not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. So, what are we, helpless? Puppets? Nah. The big moments are gonna come, you can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that count. That's when you find out who you are." Joss Whedon

*In response to D2tL* Fix them for me then. I'll keep to doing what I do best, you do what you do best.

Heehee, well I saw it mentioned a couple times here that there should be some women on board, too, and I wouldn't want YinYang to have all the fun.
Plus you need all those great Firefly ladies to have their fair share of representation onboard the Defiant, right?
Almost done with that CS.
Those siggies are WAY COOL. I hope I'll get to have one. I got my character all picked out.

CS
Name: Jaclyn "Jackie" Holliday
Age: 31
Sex: Female, Het.
Role: Starts off as a passenger en route to [as yet undetermined] but may end up as chief medic once she proves herself at the operating table, her specialty being orthopedic surgery or "trauma doctor".
Gear: Dr. Holliday travels light, more of a gypsy than the type to put down roots, firstly by necessity and secondly she likes it that way. She carries a medical bag with essentials like a stethoscope, pressure syringes, laser scalpels, antibiotics, bandages, and sutures. On a good day she also has plenty of anesthetics. She keeps a petite and very illegal taser strapped to her leg, hidden from view, and a hand gun in the lining of her medical bag. She carries what clothing she needs in a battered suitcase. Just the basics as far as clothes, nothing fancy; dark-colored to hide the blood stains. Her most treasured possession is a small framed hologram of her husband, Danny, a brown-coat sergeant who gave his life for The Cause.
Assets: Her beauty gets her easily "in the door"; her brains keep her out of trouble. Her training and experience as a physician is her most valuable asset.
Complications: Jackie's looks have been a handicap when it comes to unwanted attention and she developed a sharp tongue to compensate. She still mourns for Danny, the love of her life, and tends to relive his last hours whenever she struggles to save a life, esp. when the patient's injuries result from violence. She tends to wear her widowhood like a badge of honor and falls into bouts of dark depression on occasion. She's vowed not to anesthetize herself with her own drugs, but has been known to give in on the darkest days, like Danny's birthday or the anniversary of his death.
Physical Description: The doc is a striking woman, thin, small of breast but long of leg. She looks every bit of her 5'11". She's brown haired and brown eyed, with distinctive cheek bones and a cleft chin that she isn't afraid to jut out defensively when threatened.
Dainty is a word that's never described Doc Holliday. Gangly, disjointed, clumsy as a newborn foal, are more often used to describe her lack of grace.
Jackie's typical attire consists of a dark olive or brown-colored shirt with a black camisole beneath it, and dark gray, brown, or black baggy pants. Sometimes on special occasions she'll wear a burgundy shirt, but always colors that don't readily show the blood stains that often set into the material before she has a chance to scrub it out. She also favors dark-colored boots.
Shunning makeup for the most part, Jackie's only outward sign of feminine vanity is her hair. She wears it in a long silky mane and allows herself the luxury of special treatments to make it shine. She experiments with it, wearing it up one day, pony-tailed another, or maybe in a single braid down the back of her long neck.
Personality: Confident, disciplined, patient, and careful - all good attributes for a medic to have. She can also be funny, but is usually fairly reserved keeping her emotions to herself. On a bad day, she can be pessimistic and fatalistic, even falling into melancholia. Sets high standards for herself and others, sometimes to the point of contention, but always strives for honesty in her criticism. It takes her awhile to warm up to people, but once she accepts them she's intensely loyal. She's conservative, a traditionalist. She respects authority, unless they show what she considers bad judgment, then all bets are off.
Background: Jackie grew up on a dairy farm midway between the core planets and the fringe. Her father raised cattle, her mother was a mid-wife, and she was their only child. Jackie knew early in life that she wanted to be a nurse and after her training went to work on the Core side. She met Daniel Holliday, a young policeman, and they married shortly before the War for Independence broke out. Both of them left their jobs to join the Brown Coats but a year into the War she was left a widow. Broken-hearted, she returned home to
