this idea is based off the tv show dark matter.

6 people wake up on a ship there memories gone but they all kept there skills and abilities.

I want to make a crew of mercenaries that the same thing happen too. the crew being hunted like animals and not knowing why. only later finding out they deserve the every thing that comes there way.  If interested post or send me ideas or concepts. 

characters history's explain why they have the skills they do. Muscle memory is key

Ideal roles

The disgrace soldier-


Unlicensed Doctor-

The prototype-a person full of future tech. there body my look and and feel human but they are far from a normal human.

The Space monk- a devout follower of some believe system that involves extreme martial art training and a code of honor. your character never breaks there code. They more then likely rack up a lot of crimes looking for there masters killer. they also could have gotten exiled and now are use there skills to survive
.     

The stowaway-at some point in time they got on the ship. there good at sneaking, hiding, and unnoticeable in most cases. most likely they were a theft or spy

The engineer-they live and breath tech. good with both primitive and modern tech and can build almost anything.       
I heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Life seems harsh, and cruel. Says he feels all alone in threatening world. Doctor says: "Treatment is simple. The great clown - Pagliacci - is in town. Go see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. "But doctor..." he says "I am Pagliacci." Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains.



Rorschach's Journal. October 12th, 1985: Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "Save us!"... and I'll whisper "no."

Sure, I like games with dark secrets and mystery, but I've never watched Dark Matter.  Would that be a problem?

I could maybe get into this. I've seen a bit of the show, but not much.

Registering some interest, maybe for a HtH specialist, possibly w/implanted blade weapons she doesn't even know about at first.  She's been neurologically rewired; fast as hell, but the remapping has left ehr almost expressionless, and desensitized to some extent- she CAN feel pain and pleasure and whatnot, but it takes a fair bit of stimulus.
Instead of obsessing on the person you want to be, focus on who you DON'T want to be. It's much easier to not do certain things than to break your head on some ideal of yourself.

When the dust settles, you may find out you've become who you were supposed to be all along.

the show is not important. In the show the people find out that they have done horrible thing, that they thought they never could.

An Augmented Human is fine. Would someone know by looking at them?

They'd know something was off, from her almost total lack of facial expressions. She might have a locator chip in her neck, too...

Landshark

So she would be like 2 in the show basically. Except 2 doesn't have implants, she's a bio construct. I might be interested here. Think I'd like the android spot though instead of a merc....assuming such a position exist in this version.

zenpai

Being an android is fine. I was going for a someone like 6 for me. Special forces combat training, with subdermal body armor nanites.

Lemon Lime

I love Dark Matter! I'm thinking Doctor with a dark past - risky surgery, unethical experimentation, stuff like that.

Eliza

Ooh, me like anything from Syfy.

Interested, indeed, I am.

Might like the stowaway. Did you want it the same as the show, like she knows a portion, if not all, of the past of all members? Like she holds the key to the members' memories?

Actually, that's cool.  Let Eliza do the stowaway, and I'll rework m char a bit to take on the monk role.  It's a more fleshed-out idea than my original corporate assassin.

I'm thinking my stowaway character is a bit like a gearhead, like Ray in SW:Ep.7

So looks like we've got everyone except the Engineer?

so far i have not heard anything from landshark. and i have two people that want to be the monk. as of right now the prototype and  Engineer roles are still open.

Really? No dibs on the prototype? I only took stowaway because the prototype was crossed-out. Can I switch?

I can do a total swap and move to the engineer role, if it helps facilitate things. My monk wasn't coming together too well, anyway.

Loosely refers to 2 .  soldier is 6,  the monk is 4, stowaway is 5,  The engineer is a cross between 5 & 3,

I guess I have to figure out how to make the prototype work then. I was thinking of making her a sleeper agent to some extent, not totally.

Lemon Lime

While I was planning I was thinking of making my doctor kinda like 1, except she will definitely be a "bad guy". Does that work? Since there doesn't seem to be anyone like 1.

Also, I'm super excited for this. :D
