Okay my character has been in the military since they were 19 and there 26 so like 7 years...if anyone wants to know my character they have my permission.

[_DivideByZero_]

Born 2150 -> at least 80 before accident -> Minimum possible military join date is 2230, so 15 years maximum in the military.
But I think I'll go with him being a more recent recruit, a few years at most.

depending on whether or not Kevak is playing since they said they might.

I didn't know Kevak is a hivemind.

Sorry - will expand on sheet if I get time at lunch tomorrow but thought I should at least get something down... Also I had a couple of less sensible ideas which were extreme versions of tank and swordwielder but they seem to have less extremely been taken, so I am going to be more sensible. Also got torn between usefulness of a medic and usefulness of an infiltrator and ended up with not the best of both worlds I think.

Name: Derek Aurelius
Description/Background: Of average height and average build with prematurely greying hair, Derek is in his early 30s. He trained as a nurse back when it was more popular to do so, but a spot of bother ended up with him enrolling first as a guard on a merchant ship and then in the marines. His love of the wandering lifestyle led to his taking soldiering reasonably seriously, and his increased application led to a post in the SCRC.

If only, they mentioned it in an earlier post. However, since they didn't ask for a reserve whoever posts the next sheet is in.

Also I'll prolly/might join. Theoretical weapons are fun.

It's no rush, we still have a day or two before starting, probably depending on my school work and such. Also, if it wasn't one of the things that you were going to change, you can still apply 5 more points into your attributes.

Looks like a fun game, here's my submission.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Airoyis
Description/Background: Human male, Black longish hair, silver eyes, pale, skinny, feminine build.

Since a young age Airoyis has participated in combat. At first he trailed behind the others in his company carrying ammo but soon as he aged he found himself carrying his own weapons. His company was a militia formed in order to assist regular troops during an invasion of allied territory. As the conflict dragged out, conventional Terran troops were pulled out and the war as the Terran Alliance decided the war was not a favorable use of resource. After the removal of Terran troops the war effort dissolved into scattered guerrilla combat waged by the remaining militia. Casualties were high and the remaining troops were forced to learn quickly and adapt. Slowly Airoyis found himself among the last, not by skill but by chance. Deciding that the conflict was over Airoyis left for a more peaceful area; however, his peace was short lived and upon being discovered by Terran soldiers and favored for the skills he learned during his many years at war he was put back into service this time as an official Terran soldier.

Skills:

Dogged: Airoyris is a true guerrilla; he is rugged, observant and swift to act; he is used to surviving and fighting with minimal sustenance. Airoyis doesn't think twice before running his enemy through with a bayonet; however, he may think about shaving off some of their flesh to supplement his rations. This makes him a dangerous contender in melee combat and a capable survivor.

Suppressing Fire: Having spent years as a combatant, Airoyis has learned how to handle himself and others as well. He has developed very acute judgment for combat situations which helps him keep his enemies at bay with fire while steadily maneuvering forward. Airoyis shots are placed to dissuade enemy movement and retaliation, effectively allowing to tie down enemy combatants with suppressing fire.

Weapon Affinity: During his years as a guerrilla Airoyis has had to use many weapons and has become quite comfortable with weapons. Whether it is a 15 inch cannon or a high energy beam pistol Airoyris is likely to know how to use it and how to maintain it. Airoyis is skilled at any form of armed combat and is able to upkeep his weapons without contact with supply lines.


Attributes:
Luck: 2
Charisma: 4
Dexterity: 5
Strength: 2
Endurance: 2
Items: Assisted Nervous System and Fragmentation Grenade Pack.

Thanks - hadn't spotted the 5 extra points, whoops... Done for now, unless I get time to do a better background.

I too am keen that you do not have too much school work.

[Sosoku234]

Yo. Can we start with 5 people and play until someone signs up for the last slot? Or are we gonna wait for someone to come up from the depths of b12 and join to start?

I am itching to get started.

You need to drop one point off of your attributes somewhere. Otherwise, good to go.

Or are we gonna wait for someone to come up from the depths of b12 and join to start?

Sorry about not starting sooner. This week I have been carried away by working on a new version of my parent's website, and some other things.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

This game will start tonight, I just wanted to post this update so you are all aware. I'll begin typing our first post up now, I may eat dinner in between so it might be 45 minutes or so.

[HavingPhun]

Turn 0, Down the rabbit hole:

   It's 0900, Ship time, when you hear the first proximity warning for the station which you are approaching. Ten minutes until briefing. You all rush from whatever you were doing and gear up, clicking armor into place and checking all of your weapons... checking your weapons... probably for the millionth time this trip. Geared up, you all head to briefing and are coldly greeted by the ugly old codger Hamlin, he doesn't have a rank that you have heard of, but, he serves as a commanding officer for your ragtag group of soldiers. There is a large high definition display on the wall behind him, showing a zoomed in live feed of the station, it's many arms reaching off of the moon it is built upon. A large amount of ships are docked with it, you can even see some small things moving around in the space about it, perhaps repair robots or those on a spacewalk.

  He sighs and looks each of you over, taking a moment before he speaks. "Alright, we are nearing the pirate base and you all will soon be infiltrating it. We are going to park the ship at a moderate distance from the pirates' base, and you will be taking a shuttle down to the moons surface, then hoofing it the rest of the way. You'll have to find your way in through an external airlock, maybe finding some people on a spacewalk that you can 'convince' to help you..." he has a smug grin, "Once in, try to blend in... shouldn't be too hard for you all. We want you to try and capture a HVT on the station, a man who people have come to call Scalper, he runs a majority of the ships docked on that station. He deals in smuggling, piracy and sometimes hires out his muscle as mercenaries. We want him for the information he can provide to us."

"Most of the scum on the station are poorly equipped and unskilled, however, once you find Scalper's hole you'll meet more opposition. Previous encounters shows that he likes to keep his mercenaries close, they are better equipped, and have experience from surviving countless contracts. Try to remain discreet for as long as possible. If you find anyone else important or any of his stores of goods, try to grab those as well, however Scalper is your first priority. Just get him back here alive even if it means beating his ass a bit. We'll keep them distracted with the ship for as long as possible. In the end we are going to turn that place into a spectacular crater, unless there is some reason that you find not to. If there are any questions, you have five minutes, otherwise, get in the shuttle."

((As always, let me know if I leave anything out or if anything is off. It has been a while since I have run one of these. I'll set up the players list tomorrow.))

[AbstractTraitorHero]

Clarity drinks a little bit of alcohol before smiling and in a joking tone.
One question do I get a present for my 26th birthday?

[HavingPhun]

Hamlin grunts and reaches into his back pocket, "Your birthday eh? Have this, stronger than the normal shit they give you.", he throws a small canteen your way.

[AbstractTraitorHero]

She catches it easily unnaturally quickly she probably has that neural upgrade
Thank's hopefully my bad luck dosent rub off on you but it seems to be getting better I've only been shot at once or twice and fallen 15 time's today and best of all I didn't get hurt at all my luck might finally be turning around ussaly I get shot at 5 or 6 times and fall like 40 or 50 times and now I'm getting even more free alcohol!

[Sosoku234]

Ried just sits there pondering. He can't remember his last birthday. Or even when it was. That blows.

He strokes the side of one of the frags he has in a pouch on his side. The cold steel... Comforts him.

"That's reassuring. At least you're less likely to fall now."
