Our galaxy is a chaotic, very dangerous place. In dangerous places, people, particularly people with power, want security. Security in whatever form. Fast security. Effective security. Our job is to provide that security however the contracts say we should. Furtunately, those powerful people are often willing to pay quite a bit to ensure their own asses are kept high and dry when shit happens. If you're lucky, you might just make something of yourself here. Welcome to the 'Net, mercenaries.
Year: 2890 AD
The MercNet rides on the same bands as the Subnet that permeates the galaxy and links nearly every sub-capable electronic device. It's used by mercenaries and those who wish to employ them. Organizations make up the majority, or at least the majority of effective mercs, but there are smaller groups too, and plenty of lone wolves. There are several physical joint-owned locations provided by the 'Net and its organizations. Some are located in populous regions and serve as trading posts and recruiting centers. Most are secret. MercNet-owned locations are neutral; disputes and grudges between mercs are left outside of MercNet territory. Remember, it's only business.
Skills
Skills are leveled from 0-20 and are used to operate certain equipment, use certain abilities, and are a factor in deciding outcomes from dice throws. Your skill level is increased through successful completion of a task requiring the skill; training; or, in some cases, equipment.
Species
Rules/Regulations
This RP will be played on a 1:1 time scale with RL, but will shift when necessary. Players can make as many posts as they wish as long as they don't deviate from the timeframe.
Certain actions require a dice roll to decide the outcome. Since there is not yet a solid system, what the dice value means will pretty much be my call.
The GM will roll for the player
The player must keep and update a character sheet that contains the character's stats.
GM's word is law.
Usual RP rules: no goddmodding, metagaming, etc.
