Okay, okay. Point made. I apologise for whining, I was a bit frustrated. But that's fine, that's all behind us. [b][u]Character Sheet[/u][/b] [b]Name:[/b] Jackson Shaw [b]Nickname/Callsign:[/b] Broadsword. [b]Age:[/b] 37 [b]Nationality:[/b] American. [b]Appearance:[/b] Jackson Shaw is an adult male of fair complexion, standing at a height of six feet and two inches. He has strong, sort of square features along with a short, regulation haircut which is dark in color. His brown eyes aren't anything special, though he does possess a small ovaloid birthmark under his left ear. His right ear is scarred with small parts of it missing. If he tells you he lost it in a barfight, don't buy it. What really happened was he tripped on a gravel pathway back home. Aside from his regulation flightsuit, He generally tends to wear simple clothes. T-shirt, jeans, that sort of thing. He always wears mismatched socks, or rather, he always wears the same left sock. His 'lucky sock.' He adamantly believes he was discharged because he forgot to wear his sock that day. Or does he? When he's on the ground it can be difficult to tell if he's just spouting bullshit. But make no mistake, in the air he's as professional as they come. [b]Bio:[/b] Jackson Shaw was born in the town of Richland Washington in 1981. Truly, it was a boring town. Sure it had history, what with the work on the atomic bomb, but that's about it. Hell, the running joke of the place was that nobody could find anything to do. Anyway, his early life was unremarkable, save for dreams of flight. As an airline pilot. However, after the Heavenfall, a surge of patriotism left him joining the military instead. He proved to be an excellent pilot in most regards, though he was a bit... odd. In fact, such was his skill he was among those chosen to test the brand new A.M.M.I system in 2009, and was one of the few pilots the system hadn't rejected. Though the program was discontinued, his plane still bore the modifications (it worked for him, and it would cost too much money to put everything back in. Three cheers for laziness!). However he was a bit of a glory hog and was awfully reckless, eventually culminating in an issue with a water tower, a dead sniper, and a small village of partially deafened people. thus leading to his discharge in in July of 2010. His plane sat untouched, for only he could fly it (in reality, it was far obsolete save the A.I and nobody could be bothered to salvage it, so it was sent to an aircraft boneyard). Later on, in their desperation the Avalon institute came across his service record and he was chosen with an attitude that basically boiled down to 'Fuck it! We need all the help we can get!' and was offered a place on the Nimue, with the stipulation that the INSTANT he puts anyone else in danger for some stupid stunt, he was out. Naturally, he'd pay anything to fly again... [b]Service Record:[/b] [b] [u]Aircraft Details[/u] [/b] The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is a fourth-generation, supersonic, twinjet, two-seat, variable-sweep wing fighter aircraft. The Tomcat was developed for the United States Navy's Naval Fighter Experimental (VFX) program following the collapse of the F-111B project. The F-14 was the first of the American teen-series fighters which were designed incorporating the experience of air combat against MiG fighters during the Vietnam War. The F-14D variant was first delivered in 1991. The original TF-30 engines were replaced with GE F110-400 engines, similar to the F-14B. The F-14D also included newer digital avionics systems including a glass cockpit and replaced the AWG-9 with the newer AN/APG-71 radar. Other systems included the Airborne Self Protection Jammer (ASPJ), Joint Tactical Information Distribution System (JTIDS), SJU-17(V) Naval Aircrew Common Ejection Seats (NACES) and Infra-red search and track (IRST).[71] This plane was further modified with an advanced A.I system (codenamed A.M.M.I or Advanced Munitions Management Intelligence, though to be honest the name was probably chosen as test pilots had taken to calling it Amy) intended to replace the co-pilot, leading to the designation of F-14D-AI. Testing was cancelled when the AI was found to be less than co-operative. Major Shaw calls it 'picky' about its partners, which is completely ridiculous. Nonetheless, this model handles it's job well enough, but oddly enough only when he's in the pilot seat. [b]Name of Aircraft:[/b] The Carnifex (F-14D-AI Super Tomcat) [b]Profile Link:[/b] (I don't understand this one) [b]Modifications:[/b] No non-cosmetic upgrades, stock in that regard. The previous statement was false, as the co-pilot's seat was ripped out to make room for an advanced A.I system that would take said co-pilot's place. Strangely, it only seems to function when Major Shaw is piloting the aircraft. [b]Personal Color Scheme:[/b] Stock, save decals along the front edge of the wings meant to emulate blood-spatters. This color scheme is a result of a story Jackson once told in which he claims to have killed an enemy sniper on a water tower with the wing of his aircraft. Naturally, nobody buys it. Aside from that, he has a habit of painting expletives and insults on the plane's missiles and bombs. [b]Weapon Systems:[/b] M-61 Vulcan 20mm cannon. 2 Guided Penetration Bombs 4 Sidewinder AAMs Is that acceptable? I'm not sure how to approach service record however, and would appreciate a little assistance. Being just a guy I have no Idea how one actually progresses through the military...
