At the Edge of Space - II turn
« on: January 31, 2012, 01:50:45 pm »

So, what exactly is At the Edge of Space? Well, it is a game that naturally takes place in space. You will form a crew who is in charge of a frigate. The game will have a main questline, but I will also offer you side quests, which the captain(leader of the crew and ship) can then choose to either accept or not. However, if you ignore the main questline for too long, the game will get more difficult and resources will get scarcer. You will start the game as an independent contractor working for Xeroth, a political organization with nearly unlimited resources and a shady reputation. As the game is dynamic on what you would like to do you could also be a pirate, a mercenary or even work for the galactic government. But remember, every action will have consequences.

It is the year 2275 and space is as wild as ever. Tensions between species, governments and organizations are on the rise. Lukcily for you, Xeroth, an organization with quite a shady reputation, has decided to put together a team of specialists to insure that they come out on top. You are all individuals with special talent and were handpicked by the leader of Xeroth,known only as Armand. God speed!

In.

Name: Kirloc Mael
Species: Minolian
Class: Biotic
Special Role: Xeroth Rep. (soz  ;))
Backstory: Kirloc is 133 T-years old, relatively young by the standards of her race. She stands 4'9", and masses approximately 76lbs. She has been a spacer for 106 T-years, and has made a living as many things, crewing everything from tramp freighters to mercenary cruisers. From 2245-2249 T-standard calendar, she commanded a 3-crew system defence vessel for a small independent colony. Over the years, she has developed a knack for infiltration and breaking into electronic security systems, and has successfully completed lucrative contracts for a number of corporations and wealthy private individuals. In 2272, she took a job from an unnamed client to steal a certain hardcopy of a contract from an office on Old Earth. This office happened to belong to the head secretary of the immediate subordinate of one Armand, head of Xeroth (though she did not know this at the time). Kirloc was able to successfully infiltrate and secure the file, but during exfiltration stumbled into a guard who had decided to take a different route to the off-duty room that day. She was captured three blocks away and 212 stories lower by Xeroth security forces, who reluctantly turned her over to TFPD forces. She has spent the last 3 T-standard years in maximum security holding facilities on Ganymede, and was recently contacted by an individual calling itself "Armand" who offered to have the remaining 84 years on her sentence commuted in exchange for her signature on a contract for a new job, this time for Xeroth.

In. As Xeroth rep. I like having access to classified data. Will write up now.

EDIT:
Name:Nigel
Species:Humans
Class:Vanguard
Special Role:
Backstory: Nigel could be called a mercenary, but he likes to think of himself as a bodyguard. He did some work for Xeroth, culminating in an operation where he lead the frontline of an assault on military base which had great numerical superiority, and managed to actually take it down. Little did he know that it was meant to be a suicide mission, a distraction. And that his victory actually broke Xeroths plans. They might have had him killed for screwing with their plans, but there is no point in wasting talent, isnt there?

Special Roles must be issued in the character app, you can't reserve them.

Name: Dariush Shass-Ra
Species: Val
Class: Vanguard
Special Role: None;
Backstory: 53 years old, Dariush has only recently came of age in the Val society. Unlike most of the Vals of his age, he preferred not to manually scar himself, but instead earn them in battle. Before coming of age, he was travelling around the nearest planets of the Val Empire, serving as a mercenary and training to be a soldier, a warrior and a commander. Dariush predicted a good future for himself, he could already see himself in charge of his own ship, several decades later, in the midst of intense ship-to-ship combat... But one day, one of the other youngsters on his team got grazed by a stray laser shot during a skirmish on a surface. Badly grazed, getting a piece of his head carved out. He was dying, and dying slowly. Screaming, weeping, praying for someone to kill him. He was left to rot, not even burned, as was the custom among Vals. After seeing that, Dariush decided once and for all not to waste his life on pointless intertribal wars of Val Empire, but instead earn a place for himself among the stars, fighting important wars with tangible goals. For this end, Dariush decided to enlist as a soldier on the first ship that threw anchor on his home planet. Thanks to the reputation of his species, he was welcomed onboard.

Dariush has brown-green scales, bright blue eyes and is unusually short as for Val, only measuring for a bit over 2 meters of height. He always keeps an array of knives and a laser pistol concealed on his person and is generally paranoidal. He doesn't speak much, preferring to keep to himself. Dariush is always ready both to give and take orders, depending on situation, is straightforward and quick-thinking.

Name: Ciaphas cain
Species: Human
Class: Soilder
Special Role: N/A
Backstory: Ciaphas Cain grew up as any average person would do, as he grew older he soon found out how dangerous the world was when his father was shot, while he was of the age to understand death, he oddly didn't feel much over this, he attended the burial and a day or so later it was over, he never even shed a tear over it.

Once he was old enough to be trusted with firearms his mother gave him his fathers laser pistol (or whatever this universes equal is) Ciaphas found he had quite a nack for the simple weapon and took a few simple bodyguard jobs, many went uneventfuly although one had him guarding sombody the Xeroth Orginization needed assainsated. Now Ciaphas didn't know this at the time but if he did he would of never taken such a mission and now that he thinks about it the pay was a little to good to be true but its abit late for that now. The assassination wasn't the conventinal sneak attack, they just stormed the house and started clearing the rooms, Ciaphas suprising took out an entire 6 man team and wounded two others before they finaly knocked him out, he had failed his mission but when he woke up he was aboard a Xeroth shuttle craft.

yep, Minolians can only be Biotics

Ah, thanks, fixed. For some reason I misinterpreted that as Biotics being more of another aspect of a char. So it's basically like ME, with some political and mechanical differences, then?

(Ed: Also, going to be in a class for the next 1:45-2 hours or so, so I won't be able to respond.)
