Myriad Song: The Darkness Between Stars
In this game you will take on the role of a Hopeful Mercenary of the Myriad. How you came to your training and education is what the Myriad has done for you. What matters now is what you can do for the Myriad. The one thing standing between you and the best paid Mercenary gig in all known Universes is one simple job: Deliver weapons to a resistance movement in the Sargasso system. They fight a fascist arm of the Malmignati Cluster that had taken over their colony that they had bought fair and square.I would like the players to have a discussion with myself and every other player in the Out of Character thread as a sort of "Session 0" that would let everybody build a character that would make sense when seen in a Freedom Fighting Mercenaries scenario. Of note, your first Goal will be "Complete the Mission as Victor." As a spoiler, that Goal will earn the surviving PCs the gift of "Insider with: The Starlight Agency" which should function as "Membership".
Your Player Chosen goal could simply be to get a paying job (Last resort pick), or you could "Prove my worth." or "Get my name on a report: In a good way."
Make it something that could occur within the first or at the latest, second Act of an Action movie if you want it during play. The two "Good" examples, above, would both be accomplished after the first fight survived on the character's feet.
Anyone with the Mercenary Career are welcome, of course, but we could also use a Medic, a Face and a Security Specialist. Of course, your character sheet would be your diploma, résumé, and Fitness Exam all rolled into one. Your Character Sheet tells me your qualifications. If you can make a good case why an "unusual" character might be an asset, I may allow it. I simply ask that it make some sense that they would want to join an Elite military group.
I know that Myriad Song's system is modular and easy to home brew, but I ask to only use officially published game material, so "Aliens" is in play, but the comic books are not: They contain technologies that would break any sane game of Myriad Song.
Now that I have read that, it still seems strange to have had to type that phrase.
