I think I'll write a character up.

[AlleeCat]

Alright. Quick PSA: I'm limiting Aptitudes and Disadvantages to 5 each. Tiruin just made a character with 6, and it was a little much.

[Lord_lemonpie]

Spoiler: Let's try this (click to show/hide)

Name=Prometheus Everglade (Prom for short)

Age= 26

Gender= White Male Cis Scum (male)

Assigned Position= Biotechnologist

Aptitudes=
Medical Knowledge: Has some knowledge about taking care of injuries and the likes
Master Planner: Prometheus is incredibly good at planning stuff in advance, such as battle tactics or interactions.
Smart: Prometheus is very smart, and good at solving puzzles and riddles.

Disadvantages:
Clumsy: Prometheus is incredibly clumsy and often drops stuff or trips over small objects.
Terrible talker: Prometheus is terrible at talking to people, and absolutely detests it.
For !!SCIENCE!!: Prometheus will do anything for science, especially if it involves new forms of life. Where others would run from a gargantuan monster, Prometheus would stand still to observe its anatomy

Background: Prometheus was named after the Greek Titan of forethought and intelligence, since he showed signs of being quite intelligent when he was born. Both of his parents were biotechnologists and helped sustaining the population of the ship when food wasn't growing fast enough. His parents worked incredibly hard, but managed to live in one of the biggest apartments of Neo Kyoto. He didn't have a lot of friends since he was pretty shy, but he managed to get the highest grades of class at almost every test.

[AlleeCat]

Accepted. And Tiruin's character makes 5.

[Powder Miner]

Blast. Is there a waitlist?

[AlleeCat]

Sure. I'm sure someone will drop out or I'll decide I want another player or two.

[Powder Miner]

Alllrighty! Waitlist App:

Spoiler: Anneliese Mulder (click to show/hide)

Name = Anneliese Mulder
 
Age = 25
 
Gender = Female
 
Assigned Position = Surgeon
 
Aptitudes: Surgeon: As a trained surgeon, Anneliese has an intensive knowledge of anatomy, surgical procedures, and some basic medicine besides... naturally some rather useful talents to have.

Fast: Whether rushing a patient into the surgery ward, performing a complex operation, or simply trying to get somewhere quickly, Anneliese is fast. Not only is this a boon during frantic surgeries, but it has sometimes made her a favored errand-runner for when something needs to get somewhere.

Lateral Thinker: Anneliese isn't only fast on her feet. She has a particular talent for finding new ways around problems rather than try to brute force her way through them. If she's missing a tool during surgery, she figures out how to make do with another tool. If there's an order blocking her from doing something, she figures out another way to do it. Things like that.
 
Disadvantages: Despair!: When confronted by a problem, Anneliese's first thought is to find another way. Her second thought is to give up. When she has tried and failed to solve a problem, Anneliese does NOT have the will to persevere through: she will give up and enter a resigned mood which affects her ability to do further things.

Osteoporosis: Perhaps not the best trait for someone constantly running around, Anneliese has brittle bone disorder. While years of falling and cracking herself have taught her not to trip so easily... when something DOES smash into her or she DOES fall, the results can be disastrous.

Injury Panic: Anneliese can't deal with injuries, and her ability to concentrate drops dramatically as she gets hurt. If mildly injured, she'll be a little distracted but functional. If moderately hurt, her concentration is shot. If severely injured, she is a panicked mess, and it's very very difficult for her to pull herself together.
 
Background = Anneliese was born to a pair of two of the better medical staff on the ship, a couple who had saved many lives and could treat even something like a broken bone with relative ease. This was a very good thing for young Anneliese, seeing as she was a rambunctious little child running everywhere, falling everywhere, and inevitably injuring herself quite a lot.

As time went on, the tendency to fall disappeared... but the running and speed did not. Anneliese, now a teenager, had gained something of a reputation for her temper, her worrier tendencies, andfor being quick to think and quick to move, to the point where she managed to impress her parents and some of the medical trainers who, latching onto her parents, tried to push her into medical training. For a couple of years, she resisted, and then... well, she actually tried it. And it turned out she was good at it too.

She found herself riveted to the profession, and as she learned and went through trainee-ship, a change swept her. More satisfied with things and less quick to lash out, Anneliese became actually a rather mild-mannered woman, to the point that those around her age wouldn't be able to reconcile the angry and impatient teenager with the normally soft-speaking surgeon she is today, if not for the fact that she still moves and thinks at a million miles a minute, and if not for the lingering panics and worry that show up when things go wrong.

I also wish to be included!

Spoiler: Rubilia Oxamar (click to show/hide)

Name = Rubilia (A.k.a. Ruby) Oxamar
 
Age = 17
 
Gender = Undefined, Female biology.
 
Assigned Position = Therapist
 
Aptitude =

Nuerology - Ruby has studied for quite a while at Nuerology, and the human brain in general. This makes them good at doing things revolving brains, generally.

Pet Crayfish - Ruby has a pet Crayfish that follows them around in his own little biosphere. They have studied him quite a bit, so they have an approximate knowledge of Crayfish.
 
Disadvantage =

Multiple Personalities - Ruby has a condition that makes them unable to keep to one mindset, and they are always changing personalities, so sporadic, in fact, that the personalities they assume are almost always created on the spot.

Blind in One Eye - This has pretty obvious penalties. They also wear an eyepatch, because they donated their not-working eye to an optometrist.
 
Background = They are a simple person, apart from the whole "multiple personalities" thing, and they like most things, apart from people who assign them to a specific gender role due to their sex. They change gender depending on their personalities, and sometimes even call to different names. They appreciate animals, as they do not assume. They had a normal home life, but somewhere along the line their mother was assaulted for her gender and that was what caused the condition, and their fed-upness with gender identity.

[AlleeCat]

Alright. We're going to start, but I'd like Tiruin to post her revised character sheet in her first post.
In addition, from now on, for the sake of flow, OOC should be in spoiler tags at the end of your post, and should be labelled as such. I'm adding this rule to the OP as soon as I'm done with this post.


Captain Connors watches as about twenty people, (you among them) file into his small office, making things feel slightly claustrophobic. He looks them each over in turn, nodding and nursing a glass of scotch, listening to everyone's questions and telling them he'll answer them in a minute. They begin to chat amongst themselves, talking about the busy month and the blast doors opening for the first time in what seemed like months. Some are afraid, others are excited.

As soon as the last person comes into his office, and the sleek automatic door slides shut behind them, he taps a metal pen on his glass, and everyone falls silent. "I'm sure you're all wondering why I called you here." he says, looking over everyone in the room again and scratching at his stubble. "As you know, about a month ago, the New Kyoto made landfall on Alpha Ceti 265. For the past month, everyone has been busy setting the ship up to become a colony. Now that those preparations have been mostly completed, we can look at expanding. For that, I need the entire crew working together, but more importantly, I need trusted teams of people to do jobs no-one else can do."

Some murmurs arise. Everyone looks at each other. The captain continues, "Everyone here was selected because I saw something in your file that could be of more use to the new colony than what you were originally assigned. I've put you into teams of five based on your abilities and psychological profiles." He slides his finger across the holographic screen built into his desk, and you all get a beep on your datapads. "You've each just received a roster of your teammates, and an encryption code for a direct line to me, personally. Now, are there any questions before I give you your assignments?"

This is an example of OOC chat.

Spoiler: !!OOC!! (click to show/hide)

This is an example of me having a question specifically for the GM that I need her to answer as soon as she can!

[Rolepgeek]

Tessex looks over his list, frowning. Odds were, so were the others on his team. He looked back up at the captain, a scowl on his face. Then again, there was usually a scowl on his face.

"Yeah, I gots a question. How come it's me that's gotta babysit a buncha children what don't know their asses fr'm a generation three Hin Chaeng inverted superconductor?"

[Twinwolf]

Ami adjusted the goggles on her head, a bit of a tic she had when she got annoyed. "Says the guy that breaks something whenever he touches anything complex. It took an hour to fix that computer!"

[Rolepgeek]

"I told ya, I'm a consultant, not an engineer. If ya'd listened to me in the first place about how ta set up the damn reentry simulations, I wouldn't have had to do it myself! Back in my day...ah, you lot wouldn't listen anyhow."
He shakes his head slightly as he speaks, lip curling into a disappointed frown, as he continues, muttering to himself.

"Kids these days, never listenin' to their olders 'bout nothin'."

Spoiler: OOC (click to show/hide)

Oh, and it's less 'things break' as it is 'somehow grandpa got tangled up in the cords'

'again'

'he was trying to find the bathroom'

[AlleeCat]

"Like I said, I assigned teams based on strengths, weaknesses, and general ability. If you have a problem with the teams, I can always find someone to replace you. You will be compensated for your help, and you will receive whatever recognition you deserve for your accomplishments. I know extra ration cards aren't much for some of you, but I hope it's enough to know that what you'll be doing is entirely for the good of the colony and future generations."

[Lord_lemonpie]

Prometheus just nods, and continues staring at the ground with his hands in his pockets.
