Okay I'm sorry I'm a bit behind the time I said I'd be done. But the backstory proved to be a real pain. So I been able to put backstory together I can tolerate, although not super happy with. Anyway I hope what I put together is at least passable. Also there might be a few errors rushed the editing part


Review time!

Outside of a few typos (tried instead of tired, for example), I think this is off to a great start. Though I do advise proofreading it and fixing the spelling/grammar when you have time. But I’ll get to the thick of the important questions I have rather than nitpick it if I get the basic gist of it down. So let’s get started.


(33)

Why 33? That’s quite the amount of experience by age alone and I’m trying to figure out what bearing this particularly has at the moment.


Valeriya was born in the heart of Volkov's mega-city.

Which one? Moscow? St. Petersburg? Novosibirsk? Yekaterinburg? Volgograd?


As she finished school and question was asked what did she want to do when she left school. Giving the thought of becoming a pilot. Deciding to ask her parents when she saw them next. The question thought not sitting well with her parents who both objected to the idea. This only made Valeriya want to become a pilot more, who left home to live with the uncle that raised her. Valeriya quickly growing to resent her parents refusing to to speaking or having anything to do with them.

Undergoing the surgery to have a Neural Plug installed, Valeriya began to the road to recovery and learning how to use an NC and the start of a career as a pilot with Volkov.

Volkov is definitely a bit more… extreme of the Major Corporations, but that comes with being the most “efficient”. Generally those in the megacity are tested to see if they have NC compatibility when they are very young and due to testing for positive/negative being basically harmless it really comes at no cost to anyone and is included in childhood physical exams. For example, Stein was tested when she was around nine years old and her father effectively sold her to the corporation as a soldier to gain more favor. Being pilots I am quite intrigued that they didn’t do likewise but I suppose they might’ve wanted a better life for their daughter considering the serious physical and psychological side effects that come from piloting a NC thus opting instead for other educational choices.

But with that in mind, her parents probably wouldn’t want to put the credits over to pay for the surgery and kept making decisions for her until she was an adult. Though I think Volkov recruiters would definitely try their hardest to buy their loyalty and in turn their daughter. I wonder what kind of reputations I could give them as a GM…. Hm….


However after the recovery of the lost transport an operation that turned into an utter mess. Valeriya deciding to go AWOL unwilling to continued to work for Volkov. Maybe due to the companies lack of care or what happened during that operation she was listed as KIA.

KIA would imply she was believed to die in battle (in suit?) which I find unlikely that Volkov would make presumptions as while you are in “pilot mode” your life signs among other things are linked with the neural computer. Volkov would be able to see if you were alive or dead unless your NC totally got destroyed which would have a lot of bad side effects presuming your core survived it alongside you as well. I’d suggest reworking this and trying to find something that could work elsewise, unfortunately. AWOL is fine, KIA probably not.

Yes I planned on fixing the gammer and typo's when I get the time.

As for the age I dunno kinda picked it at random if it a problem I'll change it. All I though off when I picked it. I would like to be an older pilot and didn't see the harm in running with that number

As for the backstory I'll work on altering it.

Just understand that the longer you’ve been a NC pilot the higher chance you’ve hit full synchronization more than once— and with that synchronization (aka “polaris shift”) lies in many GM-assigned mental, psychological, and sometimes physical problems. The woes of a NC pilot are many, and I believe it would be easier to not have over lengthy periods of experience. But there is nothing wrong being a thirty-something NC pilot who has been around the block; it just might be more challenging. Just a heads up.

Thank you for the heads up, but since you don't mind I'll stick with age I picked.

Anyway I've reworked the backstory a little, hopefully I've addressed the problems. I've only posted the back story since you seemed okay with everything else.

Having under gone the test to see if she what her sync rate

Compatibility, not Sync Rate.


Seeing the use of an NC Merely giving her a new ID and altered the mech so it wouldn't register as Volkov a NC changing the call sign to Titan.

Is it Titan or Titian? Your CS reads it as Titian yet you call it Titan here. I can easily give you time to proofread your CS, the other GM's are not exactly online right now if you need to.

Rest of the CS I can work with; but I'll wait on Nutts and Molly to see if there is anything they feel necessary to say before approving it.

@Gowi

Sorry will correct the error.

Dang it I thought I got all those. Dam auto correct. Well now that you seem content with the CS I'll go proof read again.



Edit:

I've had a basic look over the CS and picked out at least some of the errors, however it's now 1:34 where I am. So it's bed time. I'll be able to clean it up with some rest. Anyway I've stuck my CS below with tweaked backstory.

Having under gone the test to see if she what her sync rate was with an NC compatible at the age of 6 with her Uncle, who knew about her dream to become a pilot and had done what he could to encourage it. Wanting to make sure the child he had practically raised to do the job had always dreamed of doing. Valeriya's uncle helped her get the necessary funds to undergo the the surgery, although never shared how. He helped Valeriya get in contact with Volkov to see about getting some sort of employment. The company seeming interested when her test records showed a fairly high compatibly positive result.


Edited from original comment:

It took me a while to work out what it was that both made me interested in the character but also unsure about the cs as a whole. I think it comes down to the age.

Your character is 33, but seems to be portrayed as a younger, attractive female. At 33 she would have over 10 years of practice and training as well as being someone who has been in several battles and confrontations. 10 plus years of being wired into an NC and killing people can cause all types of mental problems like PTSD.

There's also the question of why she would wait 10 years to leave Volkov and yet Volkov would give up after a few months. This seems a bit balanced in the opposite of what it should be seeing as they are a large corporation that controls a large army.

I think the character needs to be in their mid 20s and that the age is set a bit high. The character is interesting and with aspects like wearing coloured contacts and mismatched clothes she seems fun, but it doesn't fit the overall theme of her if she's older and especially if she's supposed to be a soldier.

@Evil Snowman@NuttsnBolts I'm in agreement with Nutts here, I think a lot of the issues present with the character are tied to her age and the potential implications that has on the RP.

Also, I only read the latest version I didn't read the above comments mostly cause there was an updated cs sheet and I just saw that, (plus it was 5am when I saw it at first)

Alright then I'll lower the age ... 24 sound okay? I'll make the few adjustments to the backstory to reflect this.

EDIT:

Okay so I've adjusted the age to the one I stated. Would of waited to see if the was okay but firefox made all my text super small for some reason, after I had changed everything around. I've just altered the CS above as I've got to fix firefox on my comp and copy pasting on my phone is a real pain.

@Evil Snowman After talking it over, we've come to the decision that we don't feel like we can accept Valeriya right now. Some key points in the edits weren't really addressed (things like compatibility which aren't really a point of preference), and as it stands we don't see her fitting into the RP very well in general.

Thanks so much for your interest though. I hope there's no hard feelings, best of luck with your future RPing!

Okay I'm sorry for the double post figured this would make this wasn't over looked.

Anyway I having had a little time to think. I'm wondering if one of you could give me a more detailed break on how the character doesn't fit. As if you still willing to have me, I wouldn't mind reworking Valeriya to fit the RPs perimeters. (As I've clearly at least partly missed the mark) Or if that's going to be too much, trying again with brand new character. (making sure not to take so long) I know it might be consider a bit of an ask but I really would like to join. If you don't mind give a more detailed break down could I get it in a PM.
