But anyway, I promise the rest should be of a more suitable length - just seem to take a bit to get her where I wanted her, without simply starting where she's ringing your 'doorbell'.
I hope those were ok posts :)
Long is good, in my opinion. I don't think any of us have a problem reading
, and your posts were more then ok, they were brilliant!

Name: Mei Lara
Age: 22
Sex: Female
Role: EVA/demolitions specialist. Also good in a fight.
Gear: There are two items Mei is never without - her waist-length brown jacket and her semiautomatic pistol (which works in a vacuum). Then again, she doesn't leave the ship a lot. She owns a Browncoat-issue spacesuit, and is wearing it when she first meets the crew.
Assets: Mei has logged hundreds of EVA hours. She has training in demolitions, mining, and salvage operations. She also has significant contacts within the Independent military. In fact, she is still technically part of that military.
Complications: Mei's appearance tends to unnerve people, so she's not very useful in most social engagements. She's also a dyed-in-the-wool Browncoat.
Physical Description: Mei is about 5' 6", with a slim build. She has black hair and brown eyes, but most people remember the fairly horrific burns on the left half of her face.
Mei's clothes are simple working clothes - denim overalls and T-shirts. Her most distinctive item is her jacket - a beat-up waist-length brown jacket. It has no insignia, but it would fit in perfectly with the Independents.
Personality: Mei can be cheery, but she often isn't. She's been through more than most soldiers, having had her home and ship blown out from under her. She's not very social with people who aren't her crew. At least half the time she leaves the ship, she does so in a spacesuit.
Background: Mei was born and raised on a mining/salvage ship called the Cavanaugh. The entire ship joined the Independent Navy at the start of the war, and was refitted as a minelayer. Some on board weren't too keen on the idea (particularly the mothers, who moved off the ship with their kids), but Mei took to the idea with gusto. She was trained in EVA and demolitions operations.
The Cavanaugh was destroyed during a mission at Athens. Mei was badly burned, but managed to escape in a damaged shuttle. The shuttle's hull had been breached, but Mei had her space suit on.
Mei nursed her shuttle all the way to Beylix, where she finally gave it up and sold it to a local scrap dealer. Mei eventually signed on with the crew of the Defiant, figuring she could do plenty of good as a smuggler.

Welcome Meshakhad!
I am sorry but I cannot accept your application. We have a mechanic already and he wouldn't like sharing the engine room. We also have a pilot/half-assed mechanic and an First Mate/Programmer and Electronics expert. I need to talk to Defiant about updating some of the crew roster.
However I'm not rejecting you. I'll talk to the captain about it and if you'd like to rethink your CS, please change your profession at the least, then maybe we can accept it.
I hate saying this but a trained mechanic and two others with similar skills are more than enough. Another and we'll all be stepping on each others toes and not in the good story and character building way. I'd suggest something in a field other than technical or mechanical. Be creative :).
Again, welcome and good luck reworking your CS.
P.S. Celestia, I'll post this evening I promise!

Thanks. I'll try to rework the CS.
The central concept of the character is that Mei was on a Browncoat ship. I'm trying to figure out what roles are still open. Any suggestions?

Check the first OOC thread.
We are mostly full in the traditional roles. However we could use a cook or something else unusual. If you can come up with something completely new all the better. We pretty much have enough muscle but if you wanted to be a more specialized type of soldier. Explosives expert? Maybe some sort of support position like supply clerk? Anything useful or original to a Firefly crew would be awesome.
Also if you could edit your original CS and not just post a new one? That way it won't be redundant or obsolete.
Thanks and I look forward to your new idea.

I can't believe it took me this long to get around to posting my CS up here.
*NOTE* Changes made from previous version!
Name: Lincoln Bargara
Age: 45
Sex: Male
Role: First Mate and Programmer/Electronics Tech
Gear: Not typically seen without his favorite cap. Wears mostly casual clothes but owns at least one well kept old suit. Rarely armed but when needed he prefers a concealable sidearm to a large assault weapon. Also owns a number of finer tools and computer hardware he's salvaged from other ships. Oddly he keeps a small brown teddy bear on the shelf over his bunk.
Assets: While not a trained combatant Lincoln's shear size deters most from attempting to tackle the mountain of a man. Despite his lack of training he does know how to handle a gun and has been known to be an effective brawler. He is a skilled computer programmer, electronics expert and a quick thinker. Having working experiences with both the Alliance and Independents he has numerous contacts among the technology and information hubs of the 'verse.
Complications: Chronic allergies and mild asthma keep him from pushing himself too far, but limit his physical activity little at all. He's struggled in the past with depression(triggered by past trauma) but keeps it mostly in check. He was injured two years previously in a skirmish with an Alliance patrol and has a noticeable limp in his left leg.
Physical Description: 6'5" and 272 pounds Lincoln is a literal mountain of a man. He has a dark skin tone and medium brown eyes. His hair is typically kept neat but he's known for neglecting his physical appearance, despite having impeccable hygiene for living on a ship. Hulking but with a gentle face he wouldn't be someone you'd like to meet unexpectedly, though he's certainly someone you'd like to have around when trying to avoid a fight. His size is sometimes troubling when trying to get around in the more narrow passages of the ship.
Personality: Rather upbeat and constantly trying to look on the brighter side, Lincoln has a tendency to become anxious or depressed while under stress, though he's very good at keeping this to himself. He has a strong sense of loyalty to his ship and Captain. Usually slow to anger, he also doesn't take threats to the ship and his fellow crew lightly. He also values honesty, if he gives his word you can bet he'll go to great lengths to keep it.
Background: Raised in a city on one of the more developed Border Planets, he showed an aptitude for computers at a young age. Graduating school with a Degree in Advanced Programing and Technology Lincoln was recruited by a large information firm on Osiris. He worked his way from one mindless, unfulfilling position to the next until leaving to find more interesting work. Shortly after he began a career as a electronics and software technician for a company servicing an Alliance installation on Boros. When the Alliance began to push outwards more forcefully he decided he'd rather not be associated with them and quit again to seek more neutral employ.
More recently he's taken numerous jobs on freighters, passenger liners and salvage crews, where he met and befriended Nathan Rey, having issues with their employer they both jumped ship in the same port and decided to look for work together. They continued moving from job to job until Nathan saved enough to buy his own ship, offering Lincoln the position of First Mate because of his loyalty and and keen mind as well as his talent for breaking up arguments.

Hey! Check out the newly revised CS for the Demo chick!
Sounds coolio to me :)
Simple enough really, but then, we have a fair wagon of intersting backstories.
In fact, the boat is almost filling over!
But... FOR THE LOVE OF EXPLOSIVES!
Anyhow, a die-hard browncoat will be interesting to tangle with, what wiht her tendency to WANT a fight with the alliance as opposed to running and selling weapons here and there.
She'd be more liable to give them away free!
Anywho, think of the cinematics!
Also- my post- too crazy??
I thought it would be nicely interesting.
Feedback peoples!
(I loved all your posts)
