Character Name: Doctor Evan Watts
Strength: Medical skill, Respected
Weakness: Pacifist. Him and all of his platoon are sworn pacifists and will not resist the opressors using lethal means. They will use tasers, beanbag rounds and traq darts, but they will -not- kill.
Background:
Evan Watts was a doctor of medicine and the owner of his own fairly large clinic before the rebellion. When the rebellion started, he treated both DRFF and USE members without consideration or favour. This did not indear him to the USE and they ordered his clinic seized. Dr. Watts only barely escaped with his life when the USE goons knocked on his door. Ever since, he has taken the code name "The Good Doctor" and assisted the DRFF as much as his medical ethics would allow.

Acanthus & Phantom: You two do know that you only need one flaw, don't you? Just thought I'd check.

[Acanthus117]

The first one's more for RP, I guess. but if needed, I will change it.

I so would love in on this.

[Digital Hellhound]

Waiting list yay.

Character Name: Eamon Valda
Strength: Logistics, USE Knowledge (knows how the USE works and has direct connections to important USE personnel)
Weakness: Combat, Wavering Loyalty
Background: Eamon Valda used to be a high-ranking bureaucrat working for USE, but was one day lured away by promises of money and power from the DRFF, and has come to regret this later on. Valda is a coward within and has never fired a weapon in his life. He rarely actually plans any attacks himself, only very rarely raiding USE supply depots and such. While he understands logistics and keeping a massive army fed and happy, military tactics escape him completely.
Valda and his entourage keep the supplies and equipment of his branch of the DRFF in good order, and possess a remarkable collection of local maps. While disliked, most people admit his efforts are often vital to DRFF operations.

Wow, didn't expect such a response!

I don't have a lot of time to update, but I'm going to try and work it so everyone can play right from the start.

Should have stuff up ready for tommorow, thanks guys!

Acanthus & Phantom: You two do know that you only need one flaw, don't you? Just thought I'd check.

Yeah, but I'd like 2 flaws anyway. I can't be too perfect.
Also I'll edit my file a bit, 'cause Acanthus gave me an idea.

Spoiler: Profile (click to show/hide)

Name: Phantom
Strengths: Espionage and Marksmanship
Weaknesses: Repairing, Stealing.
Background: Phantom (Refer to Phantom only as Phantom.) was the 27 year old son of a businessman and a woman who worked as a computer programmer. He was often known for coming into places with people barely noticing, and leaving without anyone noticing, hence the name Phantom. Got fired when he tried to work as a car mechanic and he was later caught stealing tools form it later. He usually spends his time hanging out with friends, or going to the shooting range. Other things he usually does is camping, running the hell away from assholes who annoy him, and reading and writing. 1 more thing, he trained in the army for 10 days until his dad found him, in which his dad convinced the military to take him out. Oh and he was fine at playing string instruments.

Personality: Usually a cheerful and happy guy, jokes around a lot. Has minor anger management problems. (This is basically my real world personality.)

Appearance: Black, clean cut hair, light tan skin, tall. (And that was what I really look like. A tall filipino dude.) Usually wears an olive drab cap, gray shirt and urban camo pants. Sometimes prefers the body armor that he took of a dead military soldier, but it is shoddy and in complete disrepair, but somehow it looks fine. Probably won't stop a bullet unless he finds a real suit. (Think my avatar.)

Okay!

I've updated, the front page with Current Players, along with their platoon loadouts and bonus abilities. If everyone could look through and let me know if anything needs changing that would be great. I've also updated the 2nd post with a list of equipment and supplies.

Feel free to start claiming equipment, though I won't guarentee you'll get all you asked for as there isn't enough to go around!

a few notes:
Using vehicles make it easier for USE to track you, especially after an ambush when you're trying to hide, so be aware that it may not always be best to take them out.

Ammo will be used up at a rate of 1x per combat encounter.
Fuel will be used up at a rate of 1x per platoon (3-4 vechicles) per turn
Cash will be used later when buying equipment from various merchants and smugglers

The list of locations is by no means complete, I'll be adding to it as  we go along. I'm also open to suggestions. See something you want to attack but it's not there? I'll add it!

I'll let you guys look this over and then write up the first post in a bit! Let me know if you have any questions.

[Digital Hellhound]

Lessee then...

Petrol Bombs for everyone, four Crossbow AT Launchers as well, and if possible, more ammo.
That alright?

R-12 Combat Rifles as well if I can still get more.

[Diablous]

[Ghazkull]

sorry forgot to post my application

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Yngvi Hrôkr
Strengths: Tactics and Scavenging
Weaknesses: Cruel, Mercenary
Background: Yngvi was born on Niflheim in the Yggdrassil System. The Ygdrassil System was only recently conquered by the USE and that only after long and bloody skirmishes and even then the System was only nominally belonging to USE territory and still governs itself. The people of Niflheim are a highly militaristic and hardy folk barely surviving on their ice world by raiding(like the other peoples of the Ygdrassil-System) neighbouring Systems. Since the war with the USE the Ygdrassilians needed other ways to sustain themselves and therefore many resorted to work as mercenary. Yngvi was one of them. While the Ygdrassilians are highly prized as mercenaries and the USE makes excessive use of them they are feared for their cruelty.

Especially the people of Niflheim are known as ruthless,bloodthirsty butcherers. Born and raised in a militaristic society, Yngvi was a born Soldier and tactician. He took joy in the violence of wars and battle. He even rose to the rank of a captain with his own ship in the ranks of the Niflheimian Fleet. But everything changed after the war with the USE, the left overs of the fleet should be confiscated. A sacrileg in the eyes of the Niflheimians as every captain has to pay his own crew and ship and on every ship the captain is a king. Yngvi was one of the first to flee the sector and work as a freelance mercenary beyond the grasp of the USE. In the chase for old tech to help the Ygdrassilians and give them the weapons to free themselves of the USE, Yngvi has lost his ship and his crew and above all he landed on the backwater planet of Drayton. Here he accepted to join the Drayton Rebels in exchange for all the old tech he could find.

Personality: Although from a dark and icy planet as Niflheim, Yngvi is an optimist. He has a cruel and black humor, drinks too much and is generally indeed very loud. But although he lives up to his heritage of cruelty and senseless violence he is trustworthy and fiercely loyal to the death(if you manage to gain his trust). This may however change completely in battle. There he becomes the bloddthirsty, innocent slaughtering beast the Niflheim warriors are renowned for. He cruelly uses the enemies weaknesses to achieve the greatest pain for them. Civilian lives count nothing. the lives of fellow soldiers count nothing. Only victory is then important for him.


Appearance: Blond long hair, reddish full beard with blond streaks, pale skin, nearly two meters tall.Green Eyes. He has a giant scar going straight down the right half of his face. He likes close-combat and always carries the traditional one handed war axe the warriors of Niflheim use.

Can we continue with the actions (you people forgot your RP btw, shame on you) or were we supposed to wait for your first post?

[Knave]

FAKEEDIT: I'm just going to post up the first RP bit. Consider this to take place just before you guys take your first actions if you've already posted.

Colonel Ravere assembles the nine platoon leaders in the briefing room of the DRR HQ, located in the ruins of Drayton City outskirts. The HQ itself is fairly spartan, having just been newly established, there is little in the way of supplies and personnel is limited.

The Colonel is an older man, with a long military history. He helped lead the Drayton PDF before the USE arrived and brought the planet under their control. Always outspoken on the issue, calling them occupiers. He was the main founder of the DRFF and takes great pride in his work.

“Greetings, ladies and Gentlemen,

I'm glad to see you all before me. You've all been selected to lead for various reasons, you're some of the best Drayton has to offer and I believe with your courage and determination, we will see a Free Drayton.

I've currently assembled you into three companies with three platoons each. Consider the structure loose for now. Those who are active, hitting USE positions with success and who show the ability to coordinate well with the other platoons will be given higher command positions, but you shouldn't worry about that too much now.

As you know, last week, we raided a major USE warehouse, which some of you helped participate in. We were able to capture a large amount of supplies, weapons and equipment, which is now being distributed among the platoons. If you haven't yet filled in your requisition forms for extra equipment. Now would be the time.

Thankfully we were also able to liberate some food and medical supplies, which we were able to distribute to some of the more needy districts. We're on the USE radar now though, people. Their garrison has orders to engage all DRFF supporters, so we have to be careful. I've put up a list of viable targets that you should all take a look at. You'll all be free to engage and operate as you see fit. Use caution, we have the element of knowledge and surprise. Use it to your advantage when attacking forces of superior strength. We need to build up our supply pool if we are seriously going to challenge the USE for control.

Though our ultimate goal should be the total liberation of the planet, I feel there are some shorter term goals that we can achieve that will weaken their position.”

1)Send the USE that we are a force to be feared, ambush and attack targets of opportunity.
2)Let the people know the DRFF are there to fight for them.
3)Scavenge, steal, or procure stronger weapons & equipment to better wage war with the USE
4)Cease the flow of vital medical and food supplies from Drayton to off-world locations and divert them back to the people who need them most. Damage or capture the star port, or make the lanes of transportation to the Star port too dangerous to travel for USE convoys.

------------------------------------

@ Digital - While I haven't posted the first official turn yet, I'm not going to stop you guys from RPing and posting actions, I'll just save them all for the end of first turn anyways

@ Ghazkull - Nice to have you, I've placed you on the first page, 4th Company, 1st Platoon. Feel free to start claiming equipment and posting actions!

@ Diablous - Could you give me a little bit of RP concerning what kind of tech you're looking for? Random stuff for profit, weapons, equipment, armour, vehicles? Helps build immersion for other players as well.

@ maxicaxi - I take it, you're using the building as a sort of forward base. If you could also add a bit of RP flavour to the action(close/far from USE patrol, supply routes), I'd really appreciate it!

[Digital Hellhound]

Valda watched the rabble marching down the street with open disdain. No respect for real military discipline, no proper training, no proper equipment... the forces he commanded were surely the worst of the lot. A bunch of young fools, who had been recruited just a few weeks ago. No experience at all.
Right now, they were sitting on the roof of the main HQ building, making enough sound to alert any USE patrol in a five-mile radius.
He had complained to the Colonel about the situation, but he had just laughed at him. The man was unbelievable!
There was, unfortunately, nothing he could do. The men he had would have to do.

Valda considered the situation. They had been given freedom in their choice of targets, which he was thankful for. It was much easier to handle the logistics of moving only his platoon than the whole army.
Falstaff seemed like the best place to strike. Even though the city was no longer used to it's full potential, a fair portion of the factories had supposedly been brought back online. While USE brought most of their supplies and equipment from off-world, it was much cheaper for them to use the existing industrial facilities. Also, Falstaff did have a large population, and more recruits were always good.

They needed transports, first. The inner city was guaranteed to contain them, hopefully some that weren't under USE control. Trucks would do fine, but he was prepared to steal USE vehicles if necessary. If he remembered correctly, there was a minor USE motorpool just nearby...

I take my men and attempt to locate some working transports in the city
