Well i guess my sheet is finished for the moment... i may decide to flesh it out a bit more with a physical description but... sleep

Is something like "she can take it" an acceptable specialty?
Badically it would be if a critical system would be destroyed it gets an unmodifiable penalty to use instead but would still be destroyed if struck again

[Dwarmin]

I'm sure we could figure out something for any specialty you might choose.

The specialty is in truth, more or less a roleplaying bonus and one that should fit the character you create.

[Skyrunner]

OOPS.

[Dwarmin]

So far it looks like Unholy, Law and Digital have have the best sheets...

I'll give it a max of 3-5 days then start the game.

Here's another application.

Spoiler: Character Sheet: Rita Scrudalienna (click to show/hide)

Pilot Name: Rita Scrudalienna

Callsign: Clarity

Bio: Born on the industrial world of Oaxaca Beta, Rita has spent most of her youth in the noisy, oppressive embrace of the vast gray steel industrial complexes that form the urban landscape of the planet. Oaxaca Beta, as one of the planets on which most of the Imperial military production of the sector is concentrated on, was a place where you can develop a career as one of three things - a mining engineer, an overseer-technician or a military officer, with the rest of the planet's production and economy automated to the point where it is mostly run by thirteen or so insular families keeping a jealous hold on their respective monopolies. Not having the requisite talents for the first two occupations, Rita was left with little choice but to enlist in the Imperial Navy when she reached the requisite age, though this mostly was a result of consistent pressure from her family, who did not want to see their only child never get anywhere in life.

Soon after enlistment and orientation, Rita was assigned by her superior officer, an eccentric fellow to say the least, to undergo slipfighter pilot training, though why he did so she can only begin to guess. She proved good enough in the piloting aptitude tests to pass standards, and so began her career as one of the Great Heroes of the Empire, or at least that's what the all-pervading propaganda wanted her to believe. In reality, the next twenty-three years of her life passed in undistinguished service, not really all that good at anything. Well, except retreat. She is plenty good at that, if she may say so herself. Has saved her life several times, actually. Sometimes it has even earned her a reprimand. Not that Rita cares all that much, glad to have escaped with her life as many times as she has simply through timely escapes.

Skill Bonus: Piloting

Specialty: Retreating, particularly when craft is damaged.

[Dwarmin]

All right, I'll probably close sign ups and start the game in 12 hours or so. If you're going to submit or touch up your sheet, best do it now!

This is going to be the OOC thread, so feel free to use it for that-we'll keep IC chat to the game thread.

[Tiruin]

And done. ^^

I'm really wondering how this will play out..sounds like a combat-oriented RTD, but the pilot here is Dwarmin

[Digital Hellhound]

I just want to know when exactly you claim Taricus has laughed. I assume you have some kind of evidence to back this preposterous claim up?

[Skyrunner]

I hope I'll get in. :v

[Dwarmin]

I just want to know when exactly you claim Taricus has laughed. I assume you have some kind of evidence to back this preposterous claim up?

I had to admit, both your and SC's comments made me laugh.

PROOF'D.

@Skyrunner: I have it on good authority you will be strongly considered. :V

[Unholy_Pariah]

I hope noone steals my spot in the top 5 while im busy sleeping in

[SeriousConcentrate]

Uber late to the party, but finally got off my ass enough to think of some aspects of a character. ^^^;

Pilot Name: Scott Robinson
Callsign: Cowboy
Bio: Scott's a 27-year old drifter roaming from planet to planet. Born on the frontier town of New Damascus,  he grew up in a rough and rowdy, lawless environment. From a young age he learned to handle guns, knives, and other fighting equipment, and although a mellow and level-headed country boy he developed a definite taste for violence - usually non-lethal bar room brawls, but he's sent people to hospitals to get bullets pulled out and cuts stitched up... and he's been there a time or two himself. He stole a fighter-class ship when he was fifteen and took off to find other planets to knock around on, learning how to pilot it and earning his keep over the next decade or so. He's developed into a pretty good pilot and a great escort fighter.
Skill Bonus: Marksmanship.
Specialty: Cowboy's specialty is shooting down targets harassing his allies - particularly the bigger ships he's protecting. He got his callsign for 'herding' freighters, after all.

[Dwarmin]

Well, it came down to Sercon Vs Tiruin for the last slot...choosing between my two friends...this is drama...

Being weak and spineless, I just decided to make it six players instead of five. :V
I always do this in my games...

Players Accepted
1. Unholy Pariah
2. lawastooshort
3. Digital Hellhound
4. Skyrunner
5. Tiruin
6. Sercon

Main game thread will be up as soon asap.

Of all the submissions, which were appreciated, I was most conflicted about leaving Harry Baldman out of the intial lineup. So, he'll get first spot on the waiting list.

You other guys could stand to be a bit more through with your chars-and fix spelling mistakes of course-or just make them more intriguing for me as a GM.

@Scapheap: One line isn't really that through. Not that short is bad, but, it seems like you didn't put in much effort. And its sort of odd he just showed up on the ship, when the intro states you've all at least had some training and are just considered to have graduated. Also what is 'Macguying'.

@Penguin: Again, lack of initiative here. It just didn't grab my attention as much as the others. And you stole my second post and didn't say sorry

@Borno: This could have been chosen, but it seems awfully...boring. If your guy is morally conflicted, why? Evil for evils sake? I dont know how to GM for you, considering your actions will most likely be completely irrational-my play style is to the logical and not "A pod full of schoolchildren? FULL AUTO FIRE!"
