Going to sleep, if everybody heads down to the mission, just assume my guy tags along.

[Twinwolf]

Same for Zara, actually. Sorry for not keeping up very much, I've been somewhat losing interest, but maybe the mission will renew that.

[NovaValkyrie]

Is it too late to join the RP?

[TheBiggerFish]

Not at all!

[TCM]

Is it too late to join the RP?

For the forseeable future new characters are always accepted. It will probably be too late for you to join the second mission, but you are welcome to join and explore the Ship and the U.S. in the meantime with however is not going on the mission.

Name: Alexander Stark
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Essence Organ: Located in the brain.
Original Universe: Titanfall
Occupation: Titan Pilot/Marauder Corp Operative
Rank: Captain
Affiliation:
- Frontier Militia/Marauder Corps
- Cazadores (Current/temporarily)

Theme:
- Reluctant Heroes - Linked Horizon (NateWantsToBattle cover) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9C19C6H9_Ug [Main Theme]
- Levi vs Female Titan Fight Theme - Hiroyuki Sawano https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iuuHeeGbx8 [Combat Theme]
- E.M.A (First Half) - Hiroyuki Sawano https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1s8yGtIF3Q [Titan Combat Theme]

Appearance: Alexander is a young human male with raven black hair and piercing, cold silver eyes. Standing at 5'4" tall his size might not be up to par compared to the average man, but it's perfect in Alexander's line of work.  His lower centre of gravity allows him to gracefully utilise his suit's mobility to its fullest to gain the tactical advantage over his enemies. Weighing at 210lbs, his well defined and compact, muscular build is much more impressive on the other hand. Years of rigorous military training and combat experience have forged this man into a battle hardened, tested soldier capable of taking on the best the IMC had to offer. Numerous scars can be found all across his body; each has a story behind them telling of hardship and the harsh reality of war. When off duty Alexander sports armoured urban camouflaged cargo pants, white v-neck t-shirt, and a steel-grey bomber jacket. He also tends to wear protective body armour underneath, a utility belt/harness which can hold various survival items, including a bayonet and a sidearm. This level of preparedness would have saner individuals accusing him of paranoia. He would agree with them were it not the fact that previous experience has taught him to prepare at all times.   

Personality:
Positive:
- Loyal - Alexander cares greatly for the survival of those under his command and their general well-being. 
- Intelligent - Alexander values mental strength just as well as physical prowess, a good soldier is a smart one.
- Honest
- Strong willed
- Maintains a strong moral compass despite accepting that to do what is necessary he must dirty his hands.
- Sense of humour
- Quick thinker

Neutral:
- A minor case of OCD, Alexander has a stringent maintenance mentality towards cleaning his quarters and equipment.
- Prioritises the mission objective and follows a logical approach, rarely allows his emotions to cloud his judgement.
- Due to a burn accident during his childhood which a tea cup handle broke, Alexander holds his cup of tea from the rim instead of the handle.

Negative:
- Fears failure, especially if it causes the deaths of those close to him.
- Suffers survivor's guilt after being one of the few who survived during the closing stages of the Battle of Demeter.
- Not afraid of using underhanded tactics to ensure his survival and the completion of his objective.
- Years of rebelling against the IMC has soured his previously cheerful demeanour. He is known to be brutally honest at times, saying what's on his mind at the time to the dismay of his allies.
- Has a shorter fuse if those close to him such as loved ones or close friends/comrades are in danger.
- Has a bad streak of violence which flares up from time to time.

Relations:
- Emmerich Stark, Father - Alive
- Kouki Stark, Mother - Alive
- Anya Stark, Sister - Alive

Zielon Wallet: $0

Equipment:
- Customised Pilot Armour [Passive] - A Pilot-class suit of powered armour which protects the wearer from environmental hazards (such as biological/chemical warfare, the vacuum of space) and more direct dangers like explosions and gunfire. This armour can shrug off small arms fire and explosives however it cannot withstand sustained attacks from heavier weapons. Heavy anti-armour and anti-material armaments commonly used by Titans in particular. Alexander has customised his armour to augment his capabilities further as a Titan Pilot of the Marauder Corps. Outfitted on his armour, a Jetpack/Grapple hook hybrid mobility devices which allow him to traverse the environment with incredible speed.
 >[Immune to environmental hazards and anti-personnel weapons]
 >[Capable of Omni-directional mobility and enhanced evasion against enemy attacks]

- Vanessa/Atlas-Class Titan [Passive] - A 20-25 foot tall bipedal war machine armed to the proverbial teeth with various weaponry and armaments capable of decimating opposing forces. The Atlas-Class is the jack of all trades of the big three Titan model lines at the time of the Militia's war with the IMC before joining the Cazadores. It excels at damage output and performs optimally during both defensive and offensive combat scenarios. Its defensive capabilities are nothing to scoff at either. Combined with the Titan's light, incredibly durable armour and powerful shields, The Atlas Titan is capable of turning the tide of a battle in the right hands. When not piloted by Alexander, the Titan's artificial intelligence takes over and assists him on the battlefield. Codenamed "Vanessa" or "Ness" by Alexander, Vanessa is an artificially intelligent computer system built into the Atlas Titan with a distinctively feminine voice. She is neurally linked to Alexander and acts as the voice of the Titan, communicating with Alexander through his helmet or vocally to allies. The Atlas Titan, like all Titans used by the IMC and Militia, are stored in hangers which double up as mobile Titan production facilities should a Titan be destroyed in battle. When a Titan falls in battle, it creates an unpredictable explosion which leaves no remains for the enemy to scavenge. The explosion's size can vary from small detonations to powerful nuke-like explosions which engulf the area in violent, fiery death.

Link to Atlas Titan: http://titanfall.wikia.com/wiki/Atlas

Atlas loadout:
Primary weapon: 40 mm Cannon/Extended Magazines - Burst Fire. It does not run out of munitions technically; it operates on a cooldown countermeasure which considerably eases the logistical side of maintaining the Atlas Titan. But even with this countermeasure, this leaves it vulnerable while it cools down from overuse should it overheat. [+2 Ranged/Explosive Damage if this weapon fires]

Passive Ability: Survivor - Alexander's Titan had been outfitted to endure until the bitter end. [When it enters a Doomed state, it receives a significant damage resistance boost allowing the pilot to escape while it distracts the enemy.]

Active Ability: Damage Core - Alexander engages the Atlas Titan's core ability, dealing increased damage for a short period before it must be disengaged. [Increases attack rolls at enemies, effects allied attacks.] [Lasts for three turns, four turn cooldown]

Active Ability: Vortex Shield - The Atlas Titan can project a defensive shield which catches incoming physical and projectile attacks and bounces them back at a target. The more physical/projectile attacks trapped in the Vortex Shield, the more damage is shot back at the target. [1 turn cooldown]

Active Ability: Cluster Missile - The Atlas' ordinance package delivers a vicious punch as it detonates a small storm of explosions after the initial impact. [+3 Ranged/Explosive damage] [1 turn cooldown]

Active Ability: Dash Boost - All Titans come equipped with a boost function to traverse the battlefield or evade the enemy. [Any human-sized enemy is crushed under the sheer force and speed if impacted by the Titan when Dash boost is active. +3 Dodging and Movement Speed for the duration of the ability.] [Lasts for two turns, three turn cooldown]

Inventory: Keeps track of non-starting Equipment and Items gained in Missions or otherwise.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Well, shit. It seems I'll need to go buy some armor in this next world, as Charlotte is still mostly unarmored

[NovaValkyrie]

Ok I think it's ready to go. No idea what I'm doing but it looks fun.

[TCM]

Time fo' review.

@NovaValkyrie: 5'4, 210? DAMN THIS BOY FAT AS FU- I jest.
Marauders Corps Pilot is a bit strong. Generally, someone takes a +2 to either Ranged or Melee for a Level 1 Ability, or getting a +1 to both areas. Likewise, this applies to Psych/Physical damage, and the Aerobics/Dodging, all of which would be a separate ability. 
Recover and Resupply confuses me. It's +2 to fully heal, so what happens on the roll of a 1? Or a 3 or 4? A semi-full heal?
Charge Beam: What does "stays down" imply? Is it a stun? Or an insta-kill, which would be overpowered.
Active Cloaking states that it can be used to bolster allies. In what way?

To what extent does Pilot Armor protect him from Bullets/Explosives? Up to what caliber of weaponry?
I'd alter the Vortex Shield to be able to redirect all Physical Damage, in order to both balance it and due to context of the Titanfall universe where there isn't the need or knowledge to stop Magical Damage.
Where is the Titan stationed when it is not in use? What happens after it is destroyed? What happens if the Titan Beacon is destroyed?

I'd suggest looking at other people's sheets and adjusting your own sheet accordingly. It's not that I don't like it, I do and appreciate many aspects of it. The sheet you currently have resembles your character after three or fours missions rather than zero. Dial his abilities back and it should be good.

[NovaValkyrie]

I might have solved the issues you've pointed out. And I apologise for the wording on the profile, I'm horrible at proofreading my own posts.

Among the changes are the following:
- Replaced Charge beam with Omni-Directional Mobility/Fitness because as you said, OP and I had difficulty trying to pin down stats.
- Dabbled with Atlas Titan stats and added more details into its description in the Titan Beacon section (namely what you brought up about where's its stored/what happened when it dies/etc.). Because that will be his primary form of damage dealing until he levels up and gets a few more abilities.
- Modified the Active Cloak description to clarify that a bit more
- Recover and Resupply is Alex's healing/replenishment move, furthering his role as a sneaky support guy who can ruin the enemy's day for shits and giggles. But I have difficulty stating that up because of the whole 1d10 thing, I think I got it down but feel free to help correct it because this is actually my first RTD RP. I'm used to forum-based big-arsed paragraph by paragraph PTPs. 
- Pilot Armour is resilient, small arms wouldn't damage it but sustained attacks from anti-armour and anti-material weapons would be more effective. I doubt it can hold up to more exotic type of damage such as magical attacks though so that would also be a definite weakness.

So for now he's primarily a support character who can hold his own, but if he survives a number of missions he'll be a rather painful thorn in the enemy's side. Providing he survives of course.

Spoiler: Rochelle (click to show/hide)

Name: Rochelle Lee. If you're rude, she might be Fat Rochelle, or Rochelle #2.
Gender: Female
Age: 28
Essence Organ: Her heart, because yeah, normal human.
Original Universe: Left 4 Dead, now wherever scrapped concepts for video game characters reside.

Appearance: This here.

Personality: Rochelle is kind of bitter, but that's to be expected when you're a technically a character design that got scrapped in favor of another one. Besides that, Rochelle is fairly polite most of the time, if a bit loud, especially when in a state of distress, or when panicking. She does care for her teammates, but she's not likely to show it, unless they're in an extremely stressful situation, or if she's dying or something.

Backstory: This iteration of Rochelle was originally going to be in L4D2, but when she was scrapped, was sent to a containment facility where other scrapped concepts went. She was offered her freedom in exchange for becoming a Cazadore, and she accepted the offer, for reasons both selfish and selfless.

Abilities:
[Tier 1 Passive] HELL NO. - +1 to resisting enemy attacks.
[Tier 1 Passive] Something Shady Around This Place - +2 to noticing small details.
[Tier 1 Active] Hit 'Em Where It Hurts - Rochelle kicks an enemy in the groin. (-1 to that enemy's damage, 20% chance for -2 debuff if enemy is male.)
[Tier 1 Active] Rise of the Rejects - Rochelle can summon another scrapped concept for Rochelle, who can assist her for four turns. (The Other Rochelle is 25% weaker, but has access to the same weapons and abilities as Rochelle at the time of casting. The ability has a seven turn cooldown.)
[Tier 1 Active] Outta Here - Rochelle flees for her own life, giving her a +3 to dodging and movement speed for the duration of the ability. (Ability lasts for two turns, and has a three turn cooldown.)

Zielon Wallet: $0

Equipment:
Mama's Favorite Pistol -
Before she passed on, Rochelle's mother gave her a pistol to defend herself with. While not actually anything special, the gun reminds Rochelle of who (and what) she's fighting for.
Rochelle gains +1 to damage and ranged attacks if she uses this weapon.

Flashbang Grenades (x5) -
Honestly, Rochelle forgot where she got these from. Anyways, they're useful in a pinch.
When 1 grenade is used, it disorients all enemies in a small radius for 1 turn, meaning that they receive a debuff to their accuracy, as well as making them unable to move as they cower in confusion, due to the bright lights.

Inventory:

Also, is there a new link to the Discord?

[wipeout1024]

Sorry for double posting, but TCM, you have checked the OOC, right?

[TCM]

Sorry for double posting, but TCM, you have checked the OOC, right?

I have, I just have one character to finalize before getting to yours.

[TCM]

@NovaValkyrie: My apologies for not properly responding to your character revision in light of getting these last couple turns up. At this point Alexander is accepted and welcome to appear on the ship whenever you're ready. If he needs any modification in the future I'll let you know.

@wipeout: I approve of this and likewise, you can put Rochelle on the ship whenever you want.

[wipeout1024]

Should Rochelle be added to the shipping list?
