The year is 2481, and the human race is spread out across the night sky. For the last seven decades, the tradition has remained the same. Every year, several names are drawn at random in a lottery. The "winners", regardless of their previous status, are given a new job- a job that pays handsomely, but cuts their life expectancy in half. These unlucky few are put to work aboard one of several mining ships, where they will spend the rest of their lives searching the galaxy for a rare and harmful substance known as 命运, or Destiny. The Galactic Federation use this to power their weapons, even though it has been years now since any significant party rose up against their towering oppression.
On board the spaceship Eternia, a tiny and disperate crew work together to locate Destiny across the cosmos. People from all walks of life brought together by one damning fate, trying to live and work together, locating and refining the cursed substance that will one day kill them all; in the meantime avoiding pirates, terrorists, gangsters, and other, more savage elements on the darkest fringes of space.
This is their story.

Interested? No? Okay, then.
Okay, we need between about 7 to 10 crew members to start, one of which is a new recruit.
Jobs aboard the ship include-
-Captain (Me)
-Pilot
-Miners (a couple of them, at least)
-Security/secretary
-Mechanic (?)
ect. ect.
Submit a character profile of some sort, or I could alternatively make one for you. Whatever.
You know, include gender, age, appearence, personality, job aboard Eternia, background, ect.
The rules and stuff should already be painfully familiar. Nothing overly explicit in terms of sex, although if it's mild then that's okay. Swearing I have no problem with, just don't make it gratituous, because then it sucks and takes away from the impact and what. Don't godmod, or cyber, or any of that other junk. And please be semi-literate. I really don't understand L337 speak at all.
Also note that I intend this RP to be fairly character-based, with a backdrop of hard SF. So basically, lots of technobabble. Aliens do not exist, and people live in space stations and the like rather than planets, which one needs a space suit to set foot on.
So...yeah. And I'm sorry that this post makes no sense. I'm tired, alright.
