Resistance Radio [Sci-Fi]

And here's my character. Probably a bit over the top, but I'm pretty sure she'd still fit in rather comfortably:

It's Pronounced 'Pay-ette'

Phaeoet

Speciality
Phaeoet specializes in entertainment. More specifically, telling stories in a satirical manner. Expect plenty of riffing and exaggeration from this freebird.

Origin
Phaeoet was originally a criminal from Sector Z-388, known for thievery, manslaughter, and piracy, among other things. However, she never stayed imprisoned for very long. Her time spent in Sector ACT Penitentiary was especially short, lasting only 36 cycles, or 6 Earth hours. This is largely due to the pirated arm cannon on her left arm, which is very complex and nearly impossible to hack. Her violent tendencies and rather twisted personality are largely due to childhood abuse, since her father was equally insane and often punished her for being more like her mother than her father. However, if the man had seen her daughter today, he would likely take back what he said and beg for mercy.

It's...complicated how Phaeoet managed to become part of Resistance Radio. Basically, she saw an advertisement for it some time ago while cruising around some sector or another, on the look out for any cargo ships with valuables on board. At first, she was conflicted as to whether she should get the treasures and bolt out of there, or take a short break from the criminal life, which had recently started to bore her. So Phaeoet sent an application explaining her "epic sense of humor" and, out of sheer dumb luck, managed to get inducted. It's honestly a miracle that she hadn't killed anyone on the team yet.

Species
Phaeoet is half-human, half-Corvale, which is a race of bird-like humanoids. Most of her body is human, although she does have some Corvale traits, most notably the wings and second, smaller heart.

@GarlandDaHero

I'm afraid I'm going to have to deny this for now. My main points of contention are the arm cannon, abuse backstory, advertisement for the radio (if there was an advertisement the Empire would clamp down on it), and overall crazy demeanor that would likely not see them placed on an important position such as the main radio.

The IC is open! Of course, we're still accepting new characters, but for now, the accepted characters can greet each other, prepare their first radio show, etc.

EDIT: As a general rule, please have at least 2 paragraphs a post.

Resistance Radio [Sci-Fi]

Welcome to the radio room! This pirate radio serves as your new job. Discuss amongst each other, decide what you’re going to say, and air your first show.

Today’s reports:

45th Empire Day

Today is the 45th anniversary of the formation of the Empire. Parades and military marches are taking place across many planets. Fleets have canceled today’s exercises to celebrate. On the capital planet of Mars, truly impressive fireworks displays are being viewed. Most workers have gotten the day off to view their local planetary parade and subsequent defense fleet demonstration. There have been rumors of a new armor platform being introduced for security efforts during the parades.

Genocide of Halion II

Reports are coming in from independent freighters and cargo haulers that the planet of Halion II seems to be completely lifeless. Corpses litter the ground, and it’s unsure of what happened. There is a heavy Imperial presence in the system. One thing is for sure: this was the doing of the Empire. How exactly they managed it is unknown, however.

Rebel Cell on Geon Crushed

Recently, contact was lost with Gem Squadron on Geon, and the worst was feared. This has been confirmed with the public execution of a number of people within the cell and many of their sympathizers. Other cells remain active on the planet, but Gem Squadron was by far the largest and most important on the planet.

Senate Overruled by Emperor

A Senate vote introduced to the floor that would lower the military funding was recently hit by a unilateral veto by Emperor Zelv. It otherwise would have been nearly passed with the rogue senator group the Delegation voting unanimously in approval. The Delegation has had its power hit with its senators showing up dead, or worse, but it remains a force to reckon with in the Senate.

@Zahir @catchamber both accepted!

@Dauthis ty! Feel free to make a character sheet, you're not required to know anything about making a radio station.

Resistance Radio

Fighting for a Better Tomorrow

What is Resistance Radio?

Resistance Radio is a simple concept. You're given a pirate radio station in an oppressive galactic empire that regularly commits genocide and crushes freedoms. You're given news reports, and you, as a radio team, must decide what to air and what to not. You must decide your radio schedule, when you air, and what you say and leave unsaid. You are not a soldier, not a commander, you are a news jockey and provider of hope. The rebellion you support will see many hardships you will be unable to control, but there is one thing you're good at; giving the common man resolve to fight.

Not only that, but you could be the force that unifies the rebel cells, the force that shapes the government to come. All by being in the right place at the right time with a radio signal and a dream.

Rules

• Standard rules apply.

How do the RP mechanics work?

Basically, I give you a set of news stories on the happenings of the galaxy, whether political, military, or economic. It's your job to spin these stories to the resistance at large, giving -- or breaking, their resolve to fight. I will track the results of your news and future stories given to you will reflect what you told the resistance. You are a major force in the resistance, for news, for intelligence, and most importantly, for hope.

Character Sheet

Place this sheet in the OOC section, and move it to the characters section when approved.

Your specialty here

[b]Origin[/b]
Your backstory here.

[b]Species[/b]
If human, just put human. Else, this is a classic sci-fi galaxy, give us general info about your species.

It's purposely a fairly short character sheet. Your background isn't as important as what you do on the radio.

Woah, hold up! What is this galactic government?

Consider the traditional components of the Galactic Empire from Star Wars. Remove the force, and you've got the empire you face. Mix this with the ruthlessness of the Universal Union from Half Life 2, and you have the resolve of the empire you face. Sector Admirals destroy planets for the kick of it. Entire populations are enslaved. Concentration camps are old news. In this climate comes your rebellion, the rebellion your radio encourages.
