The Line in the Stars (OOC) [PG/14] - Closed

[Lushin]

If you have room for one more I would liek to give this a try.

Name: Romulus Darkcloud
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Species: Wolverine
Occupation: Special Forces Sargent
Appearance: Stands 5'9" and is well muscled. He is solid muscle from his years of training. Usually wears combat boots (hates wearing any other type of footwear) military pants, either a black muscle shirt or longsleeve military button up shirt (Sometimes has sleeves rolled up and unbuttoned). Is also always wearing his and one his father's dogtags around his neck. His hair is brownish red, is shoulder length and is usually tied back into a samurai style ponytail.  His eyes are hazel, he has a scar over his right eye that goes from his forehead to his jawbone. Typical Wolverine color markings
Background: Romulus was Militant raised. His immediate family was in the Military. His father was in the Special Forces and his mother was a nurse. His mother died when he was fairly young, about 5 years old, and his father raised him the only way he knew how. Train him like he did all the recruits he got for his unit. Romulus never really got to live a normal live. After his mother died his father drilled him everyday until he joined the Military, well his father had him join the Military. His father made sure that Romulus didn't get any special treatment. Romulus trained like every other grunt. Although he did get passed around between force, he had issues with his fellow trainees. He often got into fights with with trainees that felled that everyone should join the Military and serve their people, not have a choose just server in some form or another.  As well as trainnees that joined because their father was a high ranking officer, shouldn't have to see combat and should automatically be leading their group. When he did managed to stay long enough to get some traing he exceled at hand to hand combat and weapon's training. He can pilot small fighters and dropships, but that's about it. He isn't a great pilot but he can hold his own in a dogfight. He also trained in how to pilot mechs and power armor. Again he isn't that great with either but he can hold his own in one on one combat. He is at his best when he has a rifle, a sidearm and is running around a battle field. He eventually made it into his father's Special Forces squad. Romulus has been in may battles with his father's aquad and witnessed his father die in a fire fight. It's unknown why Romulus took one of his father's dogtag and started to wear it with his own. Everyone who knew the two figured that they didn't even like each other let alone love one another as father and son.
Personality: Romulus is a very straight forward person, he isn't know to make friends. His friends are people that he has faught alongside and proven that he can trust them. He  isn't very social and doesn't really know how to act when not on base or on a battle field. He has no civilian friends prefers to stay with Military peolpe. He had to grown up quick with his father so when he can't really realate to other people. He tends to shy away when people start to talk about their families. Romulus's idea of a friend is someine he can trust in battle to fight alongside him and watch his back. Regardless of his personal feelings toward a person, if they don't shy away when shoots are fired they will gain Romulus's respect.

ill work on my spelling as much as i can. I'm more of a silver tounge than a golden quill. and some words even spell check is throwing tantrums over

Actually, the main problem is that you seem to be woefully underendowed in both the punctuation and capitalization departments. Actually using the shift key once in a while (and not just making parentheses) could very well remedy this problem. Once that's gone, I might be able to make it through one of your posts.

[Eibborn]

Hmm. Sorry, Azlan, that this took so long.
I'll turn down the crazy meter on him. I'll just edit my previous post to take into account all the new information. So yeah. Go look there.

[Azlan]

The current line up of characters, expect this to start soon.

Characters

Morgan Summers (Ink): ISF Space Navy Line Officer O-6

Kal Jeico (Paladin): ISF Marine LAM pilot O-2

Lee Cohen (Poofy): ISF Army Mecha Pilot CWO3

Robert MacDuff (Supercheese) ISF Space Navy Staff Officer O-5

Absalom (Eibbor): ISF Army Mecha Pilot E-5

Conrad Tomczyk (BillBuckner) ISF Space Navy Fighter Pilot O-2

Lucas Marcone (valkyn) ISF Army Mecha Pilot E-5

Romulus Darkcloud (Daimien) ISF Army Special Forces E-5

This group makeup is fairly easy to organize, except for Daimien and Supercheese, but I'll manage. 

Ink's character is currently assigned a light cruiser, which is his responsibility to name.

Paladin, Poofy, Eibbor, BillBuckner and valkyn will be assigned to this cruiser as part of its combat units.

Poofy's character is the 'platoon' leader and commands a squad with Eibbor's character as his NCO.  valkyn will lead the other squad as senior NCO.

Daimien and Supercheese will be assigned to duties later.

I've got a few details that I'll need to post, but things will get moving soon.

Don't forget paragraph breaks. Those make things so much nicer to read.

[Supercheese]

Sorry for any confusion, Azlan. As I mentioned in the Furrae RP thread, I have extremely sporadic Internet acess until Saturday (i.e. none at all, most likely.)

From what you've explained, I think we have the same idea, but maybe I tried for too much control... sorry 'bout that, but it was the first thing that popped to mind.

[Eibborn]

Heh, I can't believe I forgot a last name. 'Absalom Thomas' sounds right. I'll just go edit my original post...

[lucas marcone]

psst ink.....the name golden quill comes to mind for the ships name. i so corny

[Magic]

"Revelation"

Weapons statistics. Point defense, spinal and turret mounts, hull and armour integrity, and other other special equipment on board? Or do I use my own discretion?

My tech thread has the statistics for the Inari Class Cruiser.  That is the one you are assigned.  The only difference is that yours carries 4 Assault dropships and 2 Assault shuttles.

[Azlan]

I'm starting this thing forward, I will be refining the opening post later and probably adding some more info here and there.

Till later...

[Supercheese]

Dyson Sphere, eh? Any chance of finding a crashed ship with an old Scotsman in the Transporter system? 

[Azlan]

Captain Scott is not authorized for this operation...

Unfortunately for everyone, this Dyson Sphere is likely armed and FTL capable.  Just imagine the physics behind this whole thing...

[Magic]

The problem with FTL ships is Picard manuevers. Assuming that light from the original location is still en route while light from the destination arrives faster as it is closer, wouldn't the ship appear to be at two places at once?

[Azlan]

The term FTL is used as just a reflection of the unknown means of which this megastructure moves from location to location.  It does not "physically" move through space at C or higher.  As for light, that would not be a concern as no one is searching for this Sphere using any visual means, its all electromagnetically and spatial anomally based... superstrings/ZPF and all.

There is of course many things you will not be aware of.  I will get around to revealing the reasoning behind the seemingly large assumptions the brass is making when the fleet makes its first stop.

All players should feel free to adlib a fair amount in their own setup postings, everyone is staffed onboard the Revelation, except for Robert MacDuff who is currently assigned to the Command Carrier Vigilance under Commodore Michael Lyzari. 

Too bad no one sought a position with military intelligence.

[Lushin]

Hrmm I'll post a responce when I figure out where I come into everything. I have a few possible ideas for why I'm there. The army decided to send a Special Forces unit to go along with the mecha pilots, cause you know they won't want to be left out of anything like this. He could be part of a unit that excels at boarding ships or something like that. The last is he was given a chance to volunteer for the mission and he jumped at that chance.
I dunno, I should have just made a Marine or something, that way it would have been easier to figure out why he would be on the ship.

[Azlan]

Big mecha do not preclude the need to have sneaky people to penetrate an enemy installation and blow stuff up, kidnap officials, assassinations and such.

[Supercheese]

Too bad no one sought a position with military intelligence.

Will we be seeing NPCs in this role?

[lucas marcone]

guys if youre waiting for me to post ill get on that tomarrow. im too tired right now. if youre wondering why i havent been posting, its because i havent had the time.

[Lushin]

Alright I posted my responce. Let me know if if anything is amiss and needs to be changed. I tried to make it rather open ended as to why he's there incase an idea should arise. If I have to I can completely redo my responce I will. I really don't want to screw anything up.

[Azlan]

Of course, you all will not likely be privy to the information they obtain, nor will you see the results of their 'roleplaying', so to speak.  There are a whole host of MI specialists on this operation.

That is good, your orders are for you to take command of a small squad of specialists attached to the ship.  Reasons for this type of unit on a ship like this will be revealed later.

[bill]

I don't want to sound like an ass, but after reading the last few posts in the RP thread, I have one thing to say.


LINE BREAKS ARE YOUR FRIENDS.

Fin.

Fin.

Seconded.

[Azlan]

I must concur, please bring the grammar quality up.  Punctuation and capitalization would be two good places to start.  If you cannot at least do this, then do not continue.

[Lushin]

I will do my best to make sure my grammar is in order. I do have one question, Azlan. Are you going to be doing the NPCs of the unit I'm in charge of or am I gonna be taking charge of them? I figure you would be the one controlling them. I gonna wait to find out before I post next.

I control a majority of their actions, but you are free to auto them as needed.  A precedent has already been established for that type of activity. 

I'm largely responsible for all NPCs, most noteably the important named ones.

[Azlan]

Important note on fleet movements:

There are two stop overs that the fleet must make in ISF territory before leaving known borders.

Epsilon Eridani, Star Imperium world - to pick up the diplomatic staff, scientific personnel, military intelligence specialists and a few 'special' guests.

Delta Vulpecula, Confederation of Worlds - farthest point in known space/border of unexplored space.  Liberty port.

All ships are expected to maintain a constant combat readiness, even when jumping into friendly ports.  All ships will standdown when ordered, but the fleet must maintain readiness at all costs.

[Lushin]

OK um I figured I would get my squad straightened out for myself and others. That way I can actually put faces to the other four squad members if/when the fighting starts.

Romulus Darkcloud: Wolverine. Leader. Sniper/Long range
Benjamin Foster:  Canine. Riflemen for the moment, no idea what Azlan has planned for him.
Donovan "Wall" Grant: Kodiak Brown Bear. Heavy Weapons Specialist.
Remus "Nitro" Archon: Snow Leopard. Demolitions Expert.
Sheebus "RC" Thorn: Panther. Communication Office
Micheal "Hacker" Harsen: Grey Wolf. Computer Expert

I didn't add rank cause I don't know for sure what the others are. Romulus and Ben don't really get nicknames.

[Supercheese]

valkyn, you win the Weirdest Expletives award.
