→xxxxxxxxxxxSomewhere, in the deep reaches of space, there floats an asteroid. Yes, there are hundreds of thousands (even millions), but this isn’t any ordinary asteroid. Built into the side of one seemingly unassuming space rock, is a seemingly unassuming bar (tavern, saloon, pub, what-have you). Simple in appearance, it is home to a rag-tag bunch of beings that are simply making a living.

→xxxSolitarySirenxxxxxxxxGreetings traveler, I am SolitarySiren, your gracious host for this lovely little RP. You may call me Siren, Soli, Cheese, or Si. I have been known to respond to many more things, but that’s besides the point. Anyway, this is a RP that is LOOSELY based off an out of print RPG called The Tales of the Floating Vagabond. How might this work? Well, you’ll just have to read and find out, then, won’t you? So, sit back, relax and please keep all hands, arms, limbs, and appendages inside the thread at all times.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Oops. Wrong record.

Space. Claustrophobic in its expanses it is a thick blanket of blackness speckled with light. In a forgotten time, beings had always dreamed of exploring space and as time progressed, technologies progressed that made this possible. And as the new frontiers opened, businesses began to boom. This is not one of them.

The Space Dust Saloon was opened roughly twenty years ago, and its age is starting to show. And, after a few change of hands, the bar has fallen in the hands of one woman. Who doesn’t really want it but she tries her best to keep the doors open for business.

While many of the patrons visit the bar for a drink and to refuel not only their ships but their bodies, some bring their problems with them. Growing around a rough and tumble sort of crowd, this woman took it upon herself to found a group of Bounty Hunter/Mercenaries, these members not only comprise the group, but also the staff of the Space Dust Saloon.

Every adventure beings within the confines of the four walls of the Saloon, every adventure ends somewhere completely different, but as always, adventures are had. And, at the end of the day, the staff returns to the Space Dust Saloon to settle down and serve their patrons. After all, Customer Service is key.

“Order up a mug of ale; fancy yourself a shot of tequila? What about a nice pina colada? Well, the Space Dust Saloon is just the place for you! With its wide selection of drinks and snacks it will keep you coming back for more. Coupled with its friendly and attentive wait staff the Space Dust Saloon boasts a record of excellence among the galaxies. The Saloon has it all! Atmosphere, drinks and fun! All you have to do is find us. We’re located within the asteroid belt of Bodes Galaxy. Come visit us today!”

The Space Dust Saloon is carved into the side of a free floating asteroid. It is a small structure in which food, drinks, and advice can be served. It is the permanent home to a handful of staff members and boasts a trans-dimensional teleportation device that sits along one of its walls. Now, this device can seemingly zap in anyone, from any century, from any galaxy and any dimension. It was first used as a way to increase popularity of the place, and although it is still active, it might do more harm than good.

Aside from serving the humble patron who had flown in off the beat and path, Space Dust is home to a band of mercenaries that call themselves The Knights of Phoenix First. They also work as the routine staff of the Saloon. They serve drinks, cook food, clean, entertain; the typical sort of work. However, after hours, they are normally confronted with an array of problems. Their patrons have a habit of dumping their worries onto the tender, who will (for a price), volunteer to help said patron. This often leads to all sorts of odd happenings and violent encounters, or might lead them to the land of plush pillows and gum drops. It all depends on what sort of being walks through that trans-dimensional teleporter.

The Space Dust Saloon

The Saloon itself is of a modest size, maximum capacity of 100 patrons, though it is very seldom that full capacity is met. The exterior is solid, of course it has to be, and the interior is rather worn with age. Hardwood floors desperately need to be refinished and tables and chairs that look very close to the end of their lives. The bar is made of a rare sort of wood, and is the only thing kept polished, and behind it all sorts of bottles and glasses sit on a wall of shelves.

In the corner, there is a stage and small sound unit, and anyone who is gutsy enough to step on it can feel free to entertain. Just be aware of the dangers: if the owner doesn't like you, you're out. There is only one small unisex bathroom in the space, but due to lack of patronage it doesn't seem to be a problem.

The kitchen and store rooms are forbidden to patrons, the kitchen has a back staircase that leads upstairs to the bedrooms of the staff, but few have seen those as well.

Through the windows on the far wall, the deep reaches of space allow a perfect backdrop to this poor desolate space.

→xI am the great and all powerful being of this thread. My word is law. Siren is not shy about her opinions. However, I am open minded and willing to work with everyone, but I have to test it with keeping everyone happy. Please. You listen to me, there won’t be any problems, you don’t, you’re out.

→xThis is a literate/advanced roleplay. Now, I’m not one to stick to serious definitions about what that means, so here’s what it means to me. You can read and write, but in the world of Gaia, it means more than that. I expect posts to be THREE paragraphs minimum consisting of 5-8 sentences. MY typical posts are about one page (size 12 font, one inch margins) or more in Microsoft Word. Close to proper grammar and spelling is expected.

→xI want everyone to have fun. This is going to be a seriously collaborative work with each staff member bringing different scenarios to the table for everyone to play. I am the creator, but I am not a mastermind of plot ideas. If you do not want to contribute and collaborate GET OUT NOW.

→xSo, fighting will happen. They’re freaking bounty hunters, BUT I will not stand for auto-hits and insta-kills. Seriously, not cool. I encourage you all to talk amongst yourselves as to how things might happen and if you feel the need to hit someone, get their permission first. Me, I’m okay with my characters getting roughed up, but that’s not saying every hit you throw my way is going to land. Please, be mature in your decisions.

→xI am going to repeat this is collaborative. We’re all going to make the storyline and plot, not just me.

→xCharacters are up to your discretion, as said earlier, the trans-dimensional teleporter can bring forth characters of any species, time period, galaxy, dimension. Just note, we’re not going to bother with the whole fabric of time nonsense. The Space Dust Saloon is not responsible for the repercussions of the contract and has limited liabilities. Thank you.

→xThis is a LONG TERM ROLEPLAY. Don’t want the commitment? Don’t join. I like to work in Posting Cycles so no one gets left behind, but if you lollygag and don’t post, you will get left behind and promptly dropped from the RP if you miss more than three cycles without notifying me.

Post cycle: My post initiates the cycle, at first, then it will be whoever has the mission lead, but order after that doesn’t matter.
EXAMPLE!
Siren > Chuck > Giyari > Vanguard Soren
Siren >Vanguard Soren > Chuck > Giyari
Siren > Giyari > Vanguard Soren > Chuck
ETC
*More than one post a cycle is not necessary, but I won't punish you if you want to post more often.

→xPretty posts are pretty, but not necessary.

→xYou can reserve a spot, send me a character concept. Once you have a reserve you have about 48 hours to get me your profile. If you fail to do so, you will lose your reserve spot.

→xIf you have any problems, with anything relating to the thread, let me know.

→xLastly…HAVE FUN! That's an order.
