[OOC] Sky Warrior Stories: The New York 5 (closed)

[Dolerman]

How confident is the squad feeling? medium difficulty, hard or expert? :D

[Skepic]

Harder than I am when a P-51 buzzes my car.


But really, I won't be able to post until Friday sadly, so feel free a move on, don't let me hold you back!

[oakman]

Hello there, are there still any open spots? I hope I'm not too late to the party as each Pilot class seemed to be taken :<

[Stern Algorithm]

Here is my redone/updated CS with plane included. It's still up for change if and when @Verdaux submits their CS

@Dynamo Frokane, feel free to give me some 'weapon upgrades' as you see fit. Other than the weapons you mentioned as being mandatory for Hunter Class, I just included whatever Wikipedia said was the normal load out for my plane.

Hajar and Israfil

CO-PILOT
Name: Hajar Mezgouri
Age: 23
Height: 5'2"
Weight: 120lbs
Co-pilot Class: Hunter
Nationality: Moroccan
Appearance:

Bio:

Born in North Africa, Hajar grew up in an environment that was comprised of meek village folk just trying to eke out a survival, the religious: both spiritual pacifists and militant zealots, and the foreign mercenaries who offered them protection for a price. Energetic, curious, and aggressively forward, Hajar apprenticed under her father as the 'tinkerer' of their small, mishmash community, fixing things or setting up utilities with found ancient technology. Her personality lent her to interact with the mercenaries quite often and her technical expertise came to be applied to their planes, helping to not only repair damage, but also to modify or customize their planes.

Theme Song:

PLANE:


Name: Israfil
Plane Type: B-17G Bomber "Flying Fortress"
Extra Aircraft Notes:

Israfil was a derelict husk that had crashed near Hajar's village in some bygone war and in the past, has served as a village defense with the body used to house civilians during times of crisis and with the turrets being manned, making the 'flying fortress' a literal fortress. However as the village grew outward from the crashed plane, it became less and less used, and mercenaries were hired to protect the village instead. It became Hajar's dream to give their village's 'guardian angel' wings again, so she set to work with the other engineers of the town to make it fly again. The other engineers' motivation was simply to get the large, cumbersome thing out of and away from the city center. It took a lot of time, effort and resources, but they finally succeeded in making Israfil air-worthy again. By this point, Hajar knew she wanted to become a mercenary herself and took the Israfil with her, looking for opportunity. Over the years, Hajar has managed to add motors and cameras to the various turrets and connected the whole setup to a small, handheld electronic device, allowing her to control all the turrets from a single control panel (the tablet).

Weapons Descriptions:

• 2 forward facing mini-guns
• 13 × .50 in. M2 Browning machine guns in 8 positions (2 in the Bendix chin turret, 2 on nose cheeks, 2 staggered waist guns, 2 in upper Sperry turret, 2 in Sperry ball turret in belly, 2 in the tail and one firing upwards from radio compartment behind bomb bay)
• 12 'bunker buster' bombs
• 8000 lbs. of bombs

Weaknesses:

Israfil is slow and unmaneuverable, unable to dodge or really dogfight, relying instead on its extra armor and turret coverage to fight back against enemy planes. Though it's turrets prevent it from having very many blind spots, it's difficult for Hajar to keep her eyes on all the tiny vidscreens on her tablet so she might end up missing enemy planes, or not bring enough of the turret guns to bear to provide significant coverage. Israfil's turret setup is also extremely susceptible to enemy interference, having been jury rigged from scrap components and simple electronics. Israfil is also extremely old, so it's navigations and communications systems are also weak to ECM.

Past Encounter:

None

@Stern Algorithm Thats a pretty badass plane, approved!
Also you are no longer Co-pilot you're the main pilot. Hunter Class for the Bronx.

[Dolerman]

It seems as if Marvel Vs Capcom's soundtrack was basically made for fighter pilots :)

@Stern Algorithm

Is Hajar all ready to go? I'm about to write her in to the current Act.

@Dynamo Frokane

Yup, I'll make an intro post and get her into battle.

[Stern Algorithm]

I forgot to tag @Skepic in my post.

Also, are you familiar with Youjo Senki AKA The Saga of Tanya the Evil? Your character being a German woman with thoughts of 'sending someone to a pillbox to be shelled by enemy artillery' was something that actually happened in like the first or second episode of the anime.

[Dolerman]

@bluetommy2no posting order by the way, if you want to go again, feel free!

@Stern Algorithm

Well, first off, thank you for introducing me to this anime, as I started watching it tonight and I am enjoying it.

Secondly, AHHHHHHH THIS IS FREAKIN ME OUT MAN! While Hanna is not nearly as.... lazy/trying to just get an easy life, I definitely see the similiarities between her and Tanya. But yeah, that pillbox line freaked me out a bit. Then again, I heard that line somewhere from a World War I documentary, so we might be just referencing the same thing. xD

[ChaoticFox]

Hoping to post up soon, its time to show this dn German that I'm not cannon fodder after all. XD

[Dolerman]

@Skepic

I always think of you and your characters when I watch this

[Dolerman]

Any open slots for an interested thread-lurker?
