Alright friends, I will give time to the end of the week before I choose 4-5 people. Applicants are divided in 4 groups.
Those who have not filled in their sheet: If you want to enter, please do so before the end of the week. Do you need help, i'd be willing to help.

Good to go: Basically if you are not on the next one, then your sheet is fine.

Needs work:

I have no idea what this this. But as it is, I wouldn't even consider it as a low contender. If you don't feel like making an even remotely decent character, go join a minimalist rtd. They'd appreciate it more.

Bio: Raised in a community orphanage michelle was taught to be loyal to be kind and to do what your told for years she suffered from not being able to identify or express herself.Leaving the orphanage was a breath of fresh air she felt alive for once she realized that really the only thing that mattered was honesty.
Suggestion: Raised in a community orphanage, Michelle was taught to be loyal, kind and obedient (Why was she thought to be like this?). For years she suffered from not being able to identify her purpose in life or to express herself (Why couldn't she? Who forbade her to? Is it related to the earlier part?). Michelle felt like breathing in fresh air once she left the orphanage,  she was finally able to look for meaning in her life. For once Michelle felt alive, realizing that the only thing that mattered, was being honest (Why did it matter to her? How did she come to realize this?).

You really need to work on the story cohesion, punctuation, some of the wording and it's still bolded. While I get the feeling that you might not be native English or good at English, you get bonus points for trying . Maybe you were drunk at that time, who knows. As example of what I mean, there is yours and what I would suggest. Mine is in bold.

Yet to come: If you are interested, you can still apply. It''s not first come, first get.

I am a native English speaker. But I have dysgraphia and it was rather late when I made that sheet.

Bio:Raised in a community orphanage, Michelle was taught to be loyal, kind and obedient for the quite simple reason they didn't do their job at the orphanage because they loved children they did I lt because they needed money and it was all they could get so anyone who wasn't "nice" or "loyal" or "obedient "got beaten senseless. For years she suffered from not being able to identify her purpose in life or to express herself in fear of being harmed by the orphanage caretakers. Michelle felt like breathing in fresh air once she left the orphanage,  she was finally able to look for meaning in her life. For once Michelle felt alive, realizing that the only thing that mattered, was being honest simply because it was the only thing she had never been allowed to be,she found it felt infinityly easier and she felt better when everyone knows how you feel
To her honesty is the best policy because it's an opposite to everything she was taught and she's enjoying thay more and more by the second especially since she got those caretakers oh so arrested.(Why did it matter to her? How did she come to realize this?).

All stats start at 3, so you still have 18 points to use.

Also, your bio's still really damn short and you might not get in thanks to that. My suggestions are to expand on whatever finally made him snap and start burning things. Just being neglected doesn't feel like a good enough trigger for arson. I'd also make Jerry a bit older so he can get a higher track record on burninating the countryside before finally getting caught.

OP states that the players are mercenaries, so him being in the military doesn't really work. I'd change that to a Penal Mercenary Corporation. Basically, they specialize in using the dregs of society no one cares about (that would end up being executed or stuck in jail for a looong time) as a cheap alternative to professional mercs.

Then you could expand the backstory once again by writing a bit about how he did in the PMC. Perhaps he made enemies? Or a friend? Maybe even got a friend who then got killed by said enemies, thus making him swear vengeance? Something that the GM could use during the game to spice it up, so to speak.

I see, sorry. Forgive me then for saying that, but for me it seemed like some form of having trouble with typing and I wouldn't dare to claim some disease as the culprit, over having trouble with a language. Which is quite common, really.

But bio looks fine now. There isn't really a reason as to how she came to be a mercenary, but I can easily assume that it's because of the freedom (and the mad amount of scrilla), mercenary works offers and how much free-er can you get on a freshly discovered planet?

This guy gets it. I'm not keen on paddling everyone with a poorly written bio. It's just that the amount of work that you put into the bio, translates into the amount of things I can do in the RTD. It makes or breaks RTD's (Not so minimalist RTD's, but I hate them with a passion), where you either perform repetitive work or actually play an engaging story with a meaningful ending.

[AbstractTraitorHero]

Yes it's a quite annoying thing and people with it commonly have trouble with spelling,punctuation and grammar.Because it can be hard to retain said information I can't write coherently without feeling hand cramps my typing would be just as bad if I didn't get typing classes.To be honest one of the reasons I joined bay12 is to help overcome my writing deficiency and fix the problems in my typing.

[Nakéen]

Ah, sorry for the lack of precision Zero. In Novice Scanner, I meant something like a mix of map information gathering : units/lifeforms present, landscape, etc... It would also include knowledge of how to use scanning/mapping devices.

Tell me if it is okay/too much. As for a name, I don't have much idea.

[Hawk132]

Information gathering, along with navigation and mapping? Sounds like a scout to me.

[Nakéen]

Let's go with Scout then. I changed my sheet accordingly.

Is it too late for me to join?

Spoiler: Janie Black (click to show/hide)

Name:Janie Black
Code Name:Soupy
Gender:Female
Age:19
Notable Characteristics:Tall and thin. When not in a suit, she dresses tastefully and well organized. Tattoo of a bullet on her right shoulder.
Class:Spook
Starting Suit:Wraith
Starting Skills:
Competent Stealth: She is only seen when she wants to be seen
Competent Marksmanship: Brags about being able to nail a fly between the eyes at 1000 yards
Novice Lockpicking: No door is ever truly locked
Novice Knife Wielder: She knows her way around many types of knives and can efficiently use them to kill
Bio:Her parents worked opposite sides of the work spectrum. Her mother was a teacher, her father was a spook for a shady government agency. She got a good education and was taught proper etiquette from a young age. She drifted from her mother and began taking an interest in her father's line of work. He suggested she become an assassin like him. She accepted and was put in charge of killing major political figures who posed a threat to the country. She grew tired of killing mere mortal men and decided go off world and apply herself to something more exciting. Like this. When she left, the agency said that one day they would have to send someone to silence her. Permanently

Starting Stats: Which stats your character will have. You can choose from the following stats:

    Strength: 6
    Dexterity: 12
    Intelligence: 10
    Constitution: 8
    Perception: 15
    Charisma: 10

Did I do the stats right?

[Hawk132]

All of your points sum up to 61. That means you have 2 points unspent.

I'd change Knife Wielder into Blade User. Since you probably would want something bigger than a knife to kill monsters.

Your bio's certainly better than Aigre's, but I think you might want to expand it a bit. For example, I wouldn't put a rookie to take out major political players. Some grueling training would be in order and then she would start working her way up from small fry to important people.

19 is not an age I would expect from a seasoned assassin.

Also, her father seems to be surprisingly open about his line of work. I mean, she started to get interested about her father's government work that he probably shouldn't really talk about and he's like 'hey, wanna kill people?'. Perhaps he could've noticed that she had some talent in shooting (I mean, who doesn't take their daughter out to a shooting range sometimes, right?)? What if he was grooming her to be his successor from a young age with her never really realizing it?

'She grew tired of killing mere mortal men' - so she's a bit of a blood knight? You could write up how exactly she began to enjoy the thrill of a killling.
