[quote=@Conscripts] Count me in. But I wonder about the military ranks within the UWG. I am not forcing you to create an entire ranking system, but I want to know if there is a limit to the ranks that the character can bear. I mean, I intend to make my character a high-ranking officer within the Scythian and do the mind work (I like intellectual characters), but I wonder how far in the ranking system can he reach when I made him? [/quote] Great :sun Yeah like Ozy says the UWG military apparatus is split into 4 branches: The United Worlds Land Army (UWLA) which deals with ground based combat on planets / planetary bodies / space structures. The UWLA also undertakes whatever water-based combat is necessary using Army craft. The United Worlds Air Force (UWAF) is in charge of all sub-orbital missions on planets. The United Worlds Space Corps (UWSC but generally referred to as The Navy) is the most powerful branch of the military and is in charge of all military spacecraft and space-based weaponry. The Naval Intelligence Department looks after all the Space Corps' intelligence and counter espionage needs etc. Finally the fourth branch of the military is the Marine Corps. They handle space based EV (extra-vehicular) combat, ship-to-ship boarding, insertion into combat zones from space and other specialised tasks. Soooo i can give you the ranking structure for the United Worlds Space Corps if you wanna be an officer aboard the Scythian? It goes: [list] [*] Crewman Recruit (CR) [*] Crewman Apprentice (CA) [*] Crewman (CN) [*] Petty Officer Third Class (PO3) [*] Petty Officer Second Class (PO2) [*] Petty Officer First Class (PO1) [*] Chief Petty Officer (CPO) [*] Senior Chief Petty Officer (SCPO) [*] Master Chief Petty Officer (MCPO) [*] Ensign (ENS) [*] Lieutenant, Junior Grade (LTJG) [*] Lieutenant (LT) [*] Lieutenant Commander (LCDR) [*] Commander (CDR) [*] Captain (CPTN) [*] Rear Admiral (Lower Half) (RDML) [*] Rear Admiral (Upper Half) (RADM) [*] Vice Admiral (VADM) [*] Admiral (ADM) [*] Fleet Admiral (FADM) [/list] For a ship like the Scythian, which is basically a fast exploration vessel with capacity for science equipment and other light cargo, i wouldn't expect the highest ranking officer to be more than a Commander in rank. [quote=@Silver Carrot] Personality: (Only put something here if you plan to stick to it) I'm afraid my personality section will probably be quite short, then, if it exists at all. I never know my character's personality that well until several posts into the IC. Anyway, I'm thinking about making an ex-UWG soldier who was discharged for PTSD. [/quote] That's perfectly fine, i know quite a few roleplayers who loathe creating a personality section for that very reason. I have the additional benefit of knowing your previous RP experience too which puts me at ease.
