Wow, I had no idea you ran games over here.  But I always stick to the upper boards and never dive down here, so what do I know.  Small internet world, huh?

Anyways, looks really interesting, I'll be thinking over the next day or two whether or not I'll sign up.  Got two weekly (theoretically, at least) games going as-is, gotta make sure I can commit the time for a third one.  But it sure sounds really fun.  Especially a good chance to help test the sci-fi splatbook stuff.

Oh hey. I remember you, I think you were in one of my short lived games years back. It will be cool if you get involved.

Welcome!

I'll get my backstory and sheet done tomorrow. Too sick today to do anything D:

Get feeling better man

[KujiUn]

Rammy was in that pirate game, IIRC.

[Ramiel.]

Ayup.  Been in many games from the PT* forums/IRC, though few lasted long.  Now I spend most of my free time with the devs on IRC, though I'm probably more a nuisance than anything.

It's kinda weird, I read the setting info and all I can think of is Macross 7.  Though I suppose you'd kill me if I tried to submit Basara for a character.

[NATEINCAPS]

Posting interest, I love me some sci fi, and I love me some pokemon, so putting the two together is just naturally a good thing. I do have some experience with PTU, so hopefully I won't stumble around like a moron.

[KujiUn]

Alright, let's see if this works...

Spoiler: Zhong Hui's Backstory (click to show/hide)

She was a kind girl. Born as a member of a high-ranking caste, she was gifted with psychic powers, which she used to help the people below her, like her family did. That all changed when a coup happened fourteen years ago. She and her family was out in a run, giving food to the people in need when a coup began a few corridors back. While everyone tried to run, an explosion rocked the passageway, and she was knocked out.

When she woke up, she was heavily bandaged, and her limbs were replaced with cybernetic parts. Her father was on the bed next to her, also bandaged and missing an arm, but her mother wasn’t to be found. Fearing the worst, she quickly lashed out, her powers over-reacting. She couldn’t even feel other minds, which scared her. Her father quickly woke up from his nap and calmed her down, explaining that her mother was dead, just as she feared, and that she had lost her telepathic powers.

Due to supply rationing, she was given low-tech cybernetic limbs, and that really annoyed her. She asked if she could learn to upgrade them, and the person in charge, after seeing her telekinetic powers, agreed. With access to the best archives that a woman in her class had and the teachings of a doctor who had much experience installing and upgrading augmentations, she quickly learned how to build and install even more augmentations.

The quiet lull of an endless routine of studying and experimenting with her own cybernetics became disrupted when she was called out for having the Commander gene. At first she was startled to have a power coveted by the people, but then she became afraid. She would never want to risk her life to pilot the ship. She hid herself from the ship for a week, burying herself in the archives and her own work before her father, worried about the ship, brought her a printed Pokemon. She had grown lonely, only having the contact of her father and the doctor, and she didn’t realize it until she started taking care of the Pokemon. At that point, she realized that she needed to help the ship, just like she did back when she was a child, and so she rose to her position.

Alright, I have a character hashed out (Not very fleshed out, but I have an idea.)

No idea on the faction, but I think we only have the one person with that at the moment, so a bit of leeway is around on that. Still have to work on my background though...

[KujiUn]

I'm gonna no-faction. Hui would think that all what the factions are good for is for making mess, even the Defense Force. She'd rather go on without any constraints.

[Taricus]

Well, I was thinking that everyone took a faction, and then we keep the factions reined in. Otherwise we throw EVERYONE out the airlock. Or just the offending faction. Either way, should stop the worst things from happening. And if not...

There's always the option of taking hammers to the life support system

[KujiUn]

No, Tar, no. You don't get to be the chaotic destruction machine you always play. Hell, I'm playing a psychic this time. A psychic girl, to boot. Pick something else. :p

But yeah, I could see Hui keeping the Defense faction in line.

[Taricus]

It's not chaotic destruction, it's keeping everyone from being utter dicks to one another via fear-of-force. So more lawful than anything.

[KujiUn]

...I feel like you're going to pull a dick move against us, but imokaywiththis

[carnackiArdent]

Right, here's my Engineer/Warper. I may or may not have entirely screwed this up, I think I may have got a little confused about the Pokebot-building mechanics. If I've done so to unconscionable levels feel free to smack me. (Also hi, I'm the guy who posted about this on the thread over on the PT* boards and asked all the questions.)

Cassian Crispin Cato

Spoiler: "Cassian Crispin Cato's Backstory" (click to show/hide)

Cassian's parents were scientists, kind of-sort of allied with the Academy of Hector, but mostly stayed out of the poisonous faction politics aboard the Torterra. His father, Calvus, is a roboticist like him; his mother Deidre is a doctor. Even more than themselves, they were careful to insulate Cassian from the factions' bickering, well aware that the latent powers he inherited from his father make him a target. Cassian's main passion has always been reading everything he can get his hands on, especially if it involves robotics. He's spent most of his young life locked away in his room studying his craft and, secretly, honing his budding psychic powers. He keeps these a closely-guarded secret, only wanting to reveal them in dire need; for the most part he's been content to live quietly and tinker with his robots. The only problem? His possession of the Command Gene. When he was named as one of the new commanders following the Captain's death, a mild-mannered young scientist started to look like an easy person to remove. An attempt on his life forced him to reveal his powers, using his rudimentary abilities to fend off his would-be assassins. Worse yet, he doesn't know who they were working for - so there's no telling now who does or doesn't know what he can do.

He's currently taken shelter under the wing of the Academy for safety's sake. The Academy, of course, is quite fond of his chosen discipline, but Cassian has serious doubts about actually working to further their goals. He suspects they may be inclined to overlook little things like "professional ethics" and "basic morals" if it suits their needs to do so, and that suspicion makes him profoundly uncomfortable with the idea of them gaining a lot of control. Not that he likes the other factions all that much more; he may just decide that the ship would be better off in control of a neutral party, even if that makes him an even bigger target.

[Taricus]

Anyway, my sheet is mostly ready to go, and my backstory:

Spoiler: Gerald Rojas (click to show/hide)

Gerald is the sort of person that, while rather loud and outgoing, tends to not talk about themselves much. A rather capable individual, if lacking in focus, Gerald fancies himself a jack of trades, able to do a variety of tasks and roles, and he generally takes it upon himself to expand what he can do. While Gerald has the command gene, he tends to downplay it, preferring his own skills to that of a captured pokemon.

Gerald's introduction to the Torterra was being inducted into the cryostorage personnel: Those that would populate the planet after the ship had arrived at their destination. Due to events however, he was thawed from it early, marked as one of the "Failsafe" commanders. Being frosted for most of the trip has left him uninvolved in politics, though either his or another's actions, he would be thrust to one of the factions.

[Taricus]

Okay, sorry for the double post, but here goes.

Carnaki, the robot on the doc actually has a couple more stat point to put down due to it's level, it should have a couple more.. Other than that, it looks all set and good.
